Damn, I'm Too Late...
It would have been great to fuck with these kids!

According to Daily Variety (by way of realitytvworld.com), UPN has finished filming its controversial reality-documentary show Amish in the City and will debut the show with back-to-back episodes from 8-10 PM on Wednesday, July 28. After the premiere, Amish in the City will air Wednesdays at 8 PM.

UPN quietly cast five Amish young adults (three men, two women) on rumspringa (which loosely translates to "running wild") and their six "English" roommates from diverse backgrounds (three men, three women), then put them in a Hollywood Hills home for two months.

During rumspringa, Amish teenagers go into the "English" world to experience it and to test the strength of their religious beliefs. If they return, they are formally baptized into the Amish church, following the Anabaptist tradition of adult baptism from which the Amish evolved. However, if they choose not to return ... well, that's where "shunning" (called "Meidung," or social avoidance, by Amish founder Jakob Amman) comes in, because the young person is then ostracized by his or her family and home community ... which may be a large part of the reason that 90% of Amish youths choose to return home after rumspringa.
