The early 2000s were a significant period defined by fashion trends such as low-rise jeans, words like “chillax” and “fo shizzle” became part of our everyday vernacular, Myspace had just been released, and blink-182 was in its heyday.

Seriously, it feels like a fever dream because only in the 2000s would anyone watch two party princesses move from L.A. to work on a farm, and it continued for 5 seasons.

On today’s episode, we are going to talk about a pivotal reality TV show from the 2000s and the impact it made.

This is Beyond the Scale.
