You can rely on the old man's money

So, I watched the debut of a new WB reality show, "Survival of the Richest". 7 blue collar "poor kids" and 7 "rich kids" pair up and compete for $200,000. First of all, calling some of these people "kids" is a stretch...... ages 29, 24, 23, etc. Secondly, the 7 "rich kids" are worth over a combined 3 BILLION dollars, so the prize money means nothing to them obviously. They are all heirs to hotel fortunes, etc.

Actual quotes from some of the rich "kids":

"Usually I like to make waitresses cry, and then when they are most upset, I sleep with them"

"What annoys me most about people who don't have money is their manners. They don't know anything about shopping or how to act in public, it's disgusting"

"I'm 23 and I can probably buy your town" (yellow pages heiress)


Hal Sparks is the host of the show. He's one of the regular commentators on VH1's "I love the..." series.
They paired up this week and had to serve food at "Medieval Times". Never eaten there....apparently they have over 1100 people at one time there to eat and watch the show. Wow.
Entertaining show so far.

    I know you don't have DVR, but do you know if your area provides it?

  • Don't you get DVR with Direct TV or Dish?
    Or is it a TiVo thing?

  • DVR is a cable thing. I have it with comcast cable. In fact, you are one of the few people I know who doens't have it. Even my technology impaired parents have it.

  • DirectTV and Dish Network also provide DVRs to their customers. You can also buy them on your own. Some stand alone DVD recorders include a hard drive, making them DVRs as well as DVD recorders.

  • This show did not come on in my area.
    I knew I was living in some weird red neck twilight zone.
