I would watch this show in passing when my wife would DV-R/ TiVO it, watching it all wide-eyed and transfixed. I don't know what makes me more sick- watching these shallow bimbo and himbos, or watching my wife watch it and wonder if she secretly admires these people and their lifestyles. Their kids are all spoiled and disrespectful to the point where I want to slap the taste from their mouths; the women, the men and "children" are narcissistic and I cannot relate to them. They have no values and this just tells me that when one acquires that much wealth, this is the result. These exclusive and sheltered people who think that Coto de Caza is the center of the world have no qualms about being rich and spoiled. They never address how they would like to help out or donate to charities out the goodness of their steel-cold hearts. I never see the parents or grandparents of these families on this show. I would hear sound-bytes from them saying, "...I think that the country will definitely learn from us and see how families really are over here..." It's so arrogant for one thing (I think that she takes notes whenever watching our president make his self-righteous speeches), and for another, people in other parts of the world think that this is how American families live, act and operate (shows like "Wifeswap," "Supernanny" are the other dark horses in the running when it comes to this).
I gave this two stars because of the multiple characters and that they switch families quickly and just in time before I get a chance to get bored of hearing how bored upon bored this woman is, or that woman is. Or how this married woman "needs a boyfriend" But believe me, what is already there is plentiful and too much. I have no sympathy or empathy for these self-centered people no matter how dysfunctional they are. I just shrug my shoulders and apathetically say "that's too f*$king bad."
