They have to put on heels and walk around a conference table. Neither of them are doing too very well, because this is supposedly their first time in heels. Then they’re asked to take photos in bikinis and heels. The agency guys were upset and asked why. For Rebecca, it’s about modesty. For Kate, it’s about a snatch thatch.
So, they put on a bikini top and jeans, which saves everyone some eye rape. Rebecca is told that she’s too short for their market, but Kate seems to have a little potential. Because she’s all pre-Proactiv ala Maci Bookout, she’ll need to improve her skin and lose some weight. Ouch! They’d just moo at me.
Rebecca is shocked that Kate’s been asked to lose weight, but Kate takes it pretty well. Rebecca sees this experience as going from a hyper-critical environment to a different hyper-critical environment.
Next week, Kate falls off the wagon and right onto a stripper pole and it appears that Sabrina didn’t fall off the face of the earth.
So, this may not be 100% legitimate, but it’s probably no different than The Hills. What did y’all think?
Until next week, my loves!

the learning channel should be ashamed of them selfs..putting fake amish people on tv or people that were amish 15 years ago..these amish chicks over the last 10 years have bared more skin then a date with paris hilton..theres photos of them on the internet..and these guys..holy sweet jesus and the pope……………they have markings and ear rings in places other then their ears..over all these people are more sexual and wild then the people in new york……..at lest tlc could have done was find real amish who leave for real…!!!
next thing we’ll be finding out is honey boo boo really lives in beverly hills and the duggers are satan worshipers….
This show is a down right disgrace . A man who used to live with jeremiah claimed he is divorced with 3 children. He is around 32 yrs old, and has not been a practicing amish for 10 years or so. He was married in 2005 and divorced in 2011. The man who posted this claimed he took Jeremiah in bc he was living out of his truck, he also said that jeremiah does not take care of his kids, and has some kind of criminal record ( for theft or something) . Also the 3 names he got on his tattoo, are apparently his children’s names. He has 2 daughters ages 7 and 3 and a 5 year old son
Also pictures and rumors have surfaced about rebecca and abe. The two apparently have a little girl together. Sabrina is pictured kissing a boy and is rumored to have been married before. As for Kate there are pictures of her entering a smiling contest on myspace years back. Here are some sites with the pictures and more info. TLC is claiming they will address these issues later in the series..
TLC has been caught in the act and i personally can not wait to see what they have to say about all this

Ok we all know reality shows are face but I was pretty disappointed to find out how fake this one was. I was truly excited to learn about this stuff but now I just find myself questioning everything in the show.
“One is actually a model. Abe and Rebecca have a child together. Jeremiah is divorced with three kids and has not seen another Amish person in 14 years. Sabrina is married and loves going out to clubs in short skirts and heels. All of the awe shucks things in New York City and the getting on an airplane for the first time aren’t true.”– from CDAN Sept. 22nd
The bullshit meter with this show is broken it is so lame. Where did they get all this money from?
Thanks everybody, for the background stories on this show. I was looking forward to getting around to watching this show, but now I’ve just erased the first several episodes that I had sitting on my DVR. There is only so much bullshit I can handle.
Jeremiah sees himself as Mel Gibson when he is really more like Donald Duck. I am not surprised to hear he has kids and his background is what it is. What person right off the Amish farms would pick that store to go buy clothes in right off the bat? Seriously? And what is going on with all that money they have?
When Kate said in the first episode that her mother had an affair with an Amish taxi driver and was shunned for a few weeks I knew this was all b.s. First of all I hope she meant a taxi driver who drives the Amish around and not an Amish taxi driver because the Amish DO NOT DRIVE …..and secondly….I’ve never heard of shunning being a few weeks….you are in or you are out…just like on Project Runway LOL
I wont’ tape it any longer but I will watch it if nothing else is on and LOVE these recaps.
I missed the first few mins of the show…does anyone know how these kids all came to be picked up and brought to the city? Did they mention how this opportunity came about?
I still like me some Honey Boo Boo better than this….sketti over sushi for me!
i laughed when the two girls said they would’nt put on bikinis..i’ve seen pics of the model…trust me she has no problem showing flesh..and is this lady really a mom or a actress…….its too bad the girls are hot in their amish dresses …i wonder where abe and Rebecca’s child is..this show now has me question some of the shows on tlc..like sister wifes…1 man 4 wifes..who cant enter utah or their screwed..
@alicecarroll…and one of the sisterwives is now helping women leave polygamy….you know..the ones that don’t like it like she does…..cuz their husband makes enough money to buy three houses in one day and support 30 kids with no trouble.
Bwahahahaha. Granted my “knowledge” of Amish and Mennonites stems mainly from books I’ve read (namely “The Bobbsey Twins and the Four Leaf Clover Mystery”, Nancy Drew’s “The Witch Tree Symbol” and author Tamar Myers’ Pennsylvania Dutch mystery series) so I’m not an expert by any means. Oh but I did met some Amish at the farmers’ market near the Penn State campus when I visited my brother; they were very quiet.
I’m less than 4 minutes into the first episode and I’m already confused. Are we supposed to think these kids are going out on their rumspringas? Because they’re already using words that I feel are too wordly for them (balls, sucks, shacking, like). Not at all like the Amish who live in my books.
Hey… did Abe say “I’ll text you later” to his mother when she was getting into the cab? Or, did I just hear that and he said something different?
This show might not be the most educational in the world. But it can be its own kind of hoot. If you think of it as more of a reality inspired hybrid.
Here’s some other Amish shows that aren’t even close to this bad. Some of them you do learn stuff. Even the Natl Geo 1. The rest are UK shows though. You can find even more if you want to google. There’s been a mess of them the last few yrs.
Amish – The World’s Squarest Teenagers
Amish teenagers spend their romspringa time living with different walk of life families in UK
Living with the Amish
UK kids from World’s Squarest Teenagers show come spend their vacay with Amish families
Amish Out of Order
Mose Gingerich is this ex Amish guy that helps Amish that want to get out. And get settled in the regular world.
Amish a Secret Life
A family that’s super religious but not really happy being Amish any more is thinking of swapping over to a break away sect. Or something. But they want to keep most of the ways.
@Kthxy, you are a well-spring of facts about subcultures, and I love having you sharing them. I’ve watched AOoO with Mose, and although his monotone tends to be a tad grating, the show is informative. Driving on side roads in central Wisconsin can be a bit dicey because you do have to obey the road signs and watch for buggies.
Amish, like other subcultures, tend to be quiet, modest, and prone to avoiding the prying eyes of outsiders, so this group of hipster wannabes are just other faux gypsy clones. Entertaining, but like sci-fi, don’t mistake it for the real thing.
Why is it that, even knowing that this show is fake….and still somehow incredibly boring, I can’t bear to remove it from my DVR recording list?
@xxinnocentexx — ugh, tell me about it. i could tell during the first few minutes that it was fake, and i was rolling my eyes and shouting at the tv by the second half of the first episode, YET I CONTINUE TO WATCH. why, why?!
Ok, I have a question to add that might or might not be relevant. But I thought the Amish are not allowed to drive OR ride in motorized vehicles? So how did Rebecca’s grandfather and Abe’s mother get to New York? I’m pretty sure it would be tough for them to travel there by horse and buggy — although, the tourists do use it to get around NYC, but still.
TLC has annoyed me for years with their programming. I used to enjoy their shows so much — back when “The Learning Channel” was actually a credible name for them.
@lizbot — as far as i know, amish are definitely allowed to ride in motorized vehicles if it is absolutely necessary … i don’t think it’s all that uncommon; they just can’t drive them. not that it would matter if they weren’t; i’m sure tlc would try to tell us they got there on a spaceship and that it’s totally normal to see that.
now tlc claims that soon they’re going to explain things………………soon………..maybe not tomorrow……soon!!!
elle, okay, you seem to be more invested in this than me!! haha. I can’t seem to stop watching it, but I’m more muttering in my head through the entire episode than actually yelling. That’s too much energy for this garbage. lol
And am I wrong in asking…wouldn’t they be shunned anyway for leaving the community and going to NYC? So I think regardless of transportation, they would be shunned anyway…you know, if this were real.
And yes, TLC needs to get a new name, because there’s no actual learning going on any more, but I can’t seem to stop watching Bling It On either. Then again, I am learning about the atrocities people are actually willing to put on their bodies in the name of “fashion” and a tv show.
@Xxxinny, I agree that TLC needs a new name. How about the Sci-Fi Channel? Nobody is using it.
