    The bar fight--which made the rounds of the Internet this past September--elevates the series's voyeuristic satisfactions to the next level.

    With the exception of the bull-ride-gone-bad scene, Bristol's day-to-day life isn't very interesting.

    It's like watching The Hills with all the shallow fun, glamor and Lauren Conrad edited out. [25 Jun 2012, p.47]

  1. Seriously, Bristol? A reality show starring yourself? It's gonna be canceled after that because I've had enough of the Palins. They looked even worse than those Real Housewives of D.C. white trash and her alleged husband. Maybe Kathy Griffin could teach her a lesson about pregnancy. Expand

    I said it when Sarah Palin first came on the scene and I will say it again. "White Trash". All of them. This kid has nothing to offer on this poor excuse of a show. The creators should be embarrassed for putting on this garbage. Expand
