Having seen the first episode, I think the creators are missing an opportunity to make this more than a smutty freak show. First, they wasted way too much time in setting up an obvious premise. Paris and Nicole are spoiled jet-setters who will be spending a month in the sticks. We get it.
The indulgent shopping spree and send-off party were really not crucial to the show. Brief in and out. The condescendingly hick announcer's voice-overs are indeed reminiscent of "The Beverly Hillbillies." The comparison is not necessary. Leaving the pickup with the keys and instructions was obviously unrealistic. Who does that? And with a camera crew, to boot. Sending them to the store as soon as they got there? What host does that to their guests?
A big help to make this work would be to apply leverage to the plot. In the first episode, the girls refused to involve themselves in chicken plucking. The results? Nothing. When they DID go to the store, for instance - nothing.
How about this:
If the girls refuse to perform a chore, they forfeit an item or privilege. Won't pluck a chicken? Say goodbye to the pooch, or a couple of pairs to shoes.
If they behave themselves and play along, they get to call Mommy, Daddy, friend, etc., and they get one item of their choice.
Now you've got a chance at a decent show.
