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!
