MTV is capitalizing on the popularity of its ridiculous, yet incredibly addictive reality show, My Super Sweet 16. The network is sending some of its stars out in the real world to rough it a bit. MTV has produced eight episodes of Exiled!, which features some of the spoiled 16 divas living with indigenous tribes in places like Africa and Antarctica. The gals are there at the request of their parents, but MTV has not announced which gals are getting a dose of reality.The network insists that this isn't like The Simple Life, where Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie simply make fun of people who are not wealthy. Instead, the series is supposed to be more "earnest." MTV found the indigenous families through the United Nations and charity organizations. According to MTV, the values-driven network that it is, the goal is for these pampered kids to get a real view of the world around them. But we all know it's really an opportunity for us to judge these kids even more and feel better about ourselves.
So, yes. I'll be watching.

Aren't the indigenous tribes in Antarctica called penguins? I think this should be "Sweet 16 meets March of the Penguins"!!

I had a girlfriend that had me watch this and I can imagine why they want to stick their kid on an ice cap. With the brat in the middle of nowhere the dads are probably saving $1000 a week since she cant use credit cards there and there is no one to boss them around and remind them how they ruined the party by giving her the wrong color car.
