So whose daddy was a producer?


Or whoever had the connections to get these two dolts into this show?

What a waste of time, money, and film! As virtually everyone else has expressed, these two absolutely ruined what could have been a great show. I struggled through the Italy and Australia segments, and they lost me at Hawaii when she said "Wow. I can't believe there's such a big city (Honolulu) on an island." Ever heard of Japan? Manhattan?

The vast majority of the program was watching these two over-privileged, uncultured, lily-white buffoons go on expensive adventures that the typical traveler will not experience. During the Italy segment there was a full minute or more of watching them surrounded by a flock of pigeons in a town square as she shrieked in discomfort, followed by her saying something about it "feeling really intense when you're swarmed by birds from head to toe." And don't get me started on the numerous mentions of "George Clooney" and how fun it was to be in the same bar he was in.

In Australia, the "scariest thing I've ever done" was said after she climbed the Sydney Harbour bridge. I've done the bridge climb myself and at $180AU with over the top safety precautions, I can think of many things in life much scarier. During one scene when hubby was hugging a large tree, all she could spew was "Wow. That's a big tree."

The complete lack of trying to converse with locals in the native language was truly apalling, and only further shows why American tourists as a whole are both loathed and mocked by local residents. I didn't notice, but I would bet money the both of them wore white shoes - a dead giveaway of a dumb, American tourist.

These two make the dorky Rick Steves look like the most natural, cultured traveler of all time. I hope the Ulles read each and every one of these comments. They deserve it.

Oh yeah - I forgot to mention the best line, made by the husband in an Italian restaurant:

"Wow. That was an awesome tomato."

They suck.

I have to correct myself on the tomato quote. What he actually said was "How awesome was that tomato?"

The human race is doomed.
