The NY Times says it’s actually kinda funny, and it is only a half-hour, so I’m going to give it a try.
From today’s review: “The mockery is overt and good-natured, a Cold Comfort Farm for the MTV generation . . . once their cellphones and credit cards are replaced by cowbells and timecards, they come closer to Cher Horowitz, the fictional heroine of Clueless, than the repellent shopoholic heroines of MTV’s latest reality show, Rich Girls . . . The tone is studiously tongue-in-cheek.”
I have to confess to being halfway tempted to watch. Altus, Arkansas, where the golden girls get dumped off, is a place I know reasonably well, and my alma mater was actually founded there in 1876 before moving to the more cosmopolitan environs of Conway, Arkansas in 1890. But I do have this unbroken streak of never having deliberately watched a minute of any of the reality TV shows, so I’ll probably pass.
EVE! YOU, ME, OUTSIDE! NOW!
All I know is that I want the see the episode where the cow gets fisted. Nothing says entertainment like a young socialite up to her elbow in cow rectum.
Hey rackensack you went to smart kids school, haha! I went up I40 to the school with the dumb team name…
Anyway, I’m a little leery of how they’ll portray the locals. Altus, while a small town, isn’t exactly a remote, isolated hickdom (at least by southern standards, anyway). It’s less than an hour from Ft. Smith, which means they go to the mall, etc., just like everybody else. Clarksville is nearby and has a college. Plus Weidekehr(sp?) Wine is based there and they have a nice (for Arkansas) restaurant there.
So, on the show, if you see people walking around with a straw in their teeth and wearing Lil Abner outfits, know it’s BS…
I figure if I spent my summer covered in cow shit, I can definitely be entertained by a couple of rich bimbos doing the same. 
me and my son are watching this tonight.
Tho we hesitated when seeing the (what?) are you sure its the rectum? Why?
Are the locals playing a joke on them?
Un…
But I will watch if only to think, Gee I wish I looked like Nichole.
I don’t even get dinner first?
mooooooo
The local paper has had interviews with the people they stayed with, and others. According to them, it could have been worse.
I’m going to watch, just for the heck of it.
That’s one of the areas I’ve been thinking about moving to, and we have spent time there recently.
An Arky? Woooo, pig sooie.
RA-ZOR-BACKS!
NOW!
I am going to pass on this. Eventhough I, too, live not far from Altus, I can’t bring myself to watch because I fear that the portrayal of Arkansans as a whole will not be nice. From what I’ve read, PH doesn’t have the most flattering assessment of folks she think are beneath her (re: everyone). I’d rather not get pissed off by a bratty, spoiled rich girl. I have actual contributions to humanity to contemplate.
Oh…BMOC from UCA and UoA hanging around, eh?..Poor little me and my alma mater up in Jonesboro.

The Arkansans look GREAT. I do hope they give Junior a piece of ass.
I want to hang out with Grandma and learn how to dress chickens.
“What does generic mean?”
“What the hell’s a soup kitchen?”
Idiots.
Just saw it.
Is that all thye can do? Laugh?
so it seems
The place looked nice.
I wouldn’t have wanted to skin the chicken myself.
It went too fast.
It was lots of commercials and nothing much happened.
Like the clothes, though.
It wasn’t as good as I expected.(Did i really say that?)
Nicole is more annoying than Paris, and man, does she have a real potty mouth. I almost like Paris. I wonder how much of this stupidity they display is just an act. Time will tell.
Paris admitted that she was “playing Lisa Douglas” a bit when she pretended not to know what a Wal-Mart was . . .
My favorite moment:
Mom: “Cayne’s at a track meet.”
Paris: “Who’s he?”
Mom: “He’s our other son.”
Nicole: “How old is he?”
Mom: “Fifteen.”

I saw the end of it while waiting for “24” to start.
I don’t think I have ever seen a pair of more self-centered, rude, obnoxious, lazy, slutty, spoiled-rotten bitches. Ever.
The way they treat other people is just horrible.
Not my idea of entertainment.
