\t\t\t\t\"duck<\/a>Yet another reality show<\/a> is coming to Stapleton. The producers of Duck Dynasty are bringing the reality show \u201cTrash to Splash\u201d to A&E, and the series is expected to air the fall of 2015. \u201cWe are really excited about this new program,\u201d said executive producer Charlie Van Vleet. \u201cIt is really a social experiment. We plan on moving two, for lack of a better term, \u2018white trash families\u2019 to Stapleton, and then following their lives. It is made for TV.\u201d\n\nVan Vleet says the idea is to see how people who clearly don\u2019t belong are treated by those in an exclusive community. \u201cWe will most certainly be selecting the families from Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana. Maybe West Virginia. Anyway, we want real white trash, not that produced white trash that you find in the northern states.\u201d Van Vleet says that the show will buy their homes<\/a>, pay their expenses, and provide some spending money to the families. \u201cWe want them to be able to become part of the community, and of course, see how the community will treat them. A lot of times, we kind of know how these reality shows will play out. Honestly, for this one, we have no idea.\u201d\nVan Vleet says Stapleton is the perfect fit for the show. \u201cThe community is not overly pretentious, so it won\u2019t be completely obvious as to what is going to happen,\u201d says Van Vleet. \u201cHowever, there is this \u2018Stapleton privilege\u2019 feel you get when investigating the neighborhood and talking with the people.\u201d The lack of anonymity in Stapleton also intrigues Van Vleet. \u201cFrom my understanding, it seems you can\u2019t spit on a sidewalk without someone knowing about it. So, injecting some major league outsiders, and maybe their lack of couth will ignite some additional issues for the community to talk about.\u201d\nVan Vleet says that although he hopes the show creates some chatter in the Stapleton hills, he is also okay with acceptance playing out. \u201cMaybe the show becomes about people understanding each other\u2019s differences and talking about them and working through them,\u201d says Van Vleet. \u201cSo, if friendships end up blossoming out of this, that\u2019s not all bad either. Not likely to happen, but it wouldn\u2019t be all bad.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
