The Simple Life

Did anyone else watch The Simple Life? I just got done with it, and it wasn’t half bad. There’s debate about how real it actually is (did Paris really not know what Wal-Mart was or was she just kidding around?), but I don’t think that actually matters too much. Either way Paris and Nicole will do whatever they want, setting up a “conflict” between the girls and the family: those who can and will do anything without fear of consequences vs. people who can’t because of the consequences. Class clash, culture clash. Reminds me a bit of Frontier House and the Clune’s difficulty in honestly dealing with the situation into which they were placed (and had agreed upon).
