SusanW's TV Reviews

I really wanted to "root" for this woman when the show first came on -- thinking that perhaps she was going to rise above the obvious and well-advertised stereotype and really show us something. It didn't happen. In the end, I came away with the feeling that yet another wealthy, privileged, pampered celebrity was coming to make fun of hard-working people in the "real" world. Instead of relating to the people around her and really making an effort to connect and come away with something of value, she treated the opportunity like a big joke. (I felt this way after a few episodes of "The Simple Life.") I was also a little dismayed by some of the ways her co-workers related to her in the episode -- it seemed a little mean and unnecessarily vengeful, at times. This had the potential to be something more than it was.
