There is a lot of fabulosity on SoS...as on most reality shows. I don't hold that stuff against Persians. I actually think the show does a lot to dispel the old stereotypes (ppl like me, in the late 70s and 80s, had forced on them) about Iran and the Persian culture. Interesting to see how they struggle w/ religious and social mores...acknowleging that they aren't White, Christian Americans and clearly not wanting to be....unlike some other immigrant groups.
