this was an excellent show - but why did they have to choose such shallow city kids - have never seen a bigger bunch of self-centred children when they all refused to go to Amish country - the Amish kids put them to shame!! bigotry is alive and well in LA however, the concept for the show was good - much better than big brother and all those celebrity reality shows. but really the Amish didn't get a real view of what life 'outside' is like - send them over to the UK where there is no sun, red carpet, Beverly Hills hairdressers and i bet they leg it back to Ohio asap. but it was good to see Meagan's nose put out of joint by the attractiveness of Miriam and Ruth - ha she wasn't expecting to be outclassed by a couple of Amish girls!! and why don't Arial's friends tell her to get a real life? on earth? and next time Reese wants to do reality - ask him to go on Rikki Lake because i don't watch that.

Excellent reality show, though perhaps too real for some people

I think the point was probably lost on many viewers, but they selected a cast of "city kids who knew nothing about the Amish" and forced them to live with "Amish kids who knew nothing about the city". Turns out that Amish kids who know nothing about the city are just much easier to like than city kids who know nothing about the Amish. Gee, I wonder why. If you've never moved from a small town to a large city like Los Angeles, the point is moot for you but, if you have, then you certainly understood and appreciated the point. I was absolutely amazed that somebody was actually willing to expose California bigotry, but kudos for them!
