Anyone ever watch Amish in the city?

Ariel is a trip I actually liked this first episode and when Ruth saw the beach for the first time I almost cried, we take so many things for granted

Me too. It's true you never really know what you have till it's gone or or you realize what other people don't have!

I caught bits and pieces of it. Looks like another forced reality show!

well thats kinda what reality shows are about, the ratings but this one is kinda different, it made me think of stuff

According to an article I read, people are contending that the Amish kids on the show aren't really Amish. For example, apparently the girls have really deep, even suntans (impossible to get when wearing traditional Amish clothes) and one of them has a doll on her bed at home (dolls are considered 'craven images' by the Amish and are therefore taboo).

Then again, there are many different sects, and maybe one of them allows dolls and sunbathing!

ETA: I can't believe it! A reality show that might not be real!
