REALITY SHOW, BUT AS YOU SIT

KNOW YOU BUT AFTER FRIDAY, A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO KNOW YOU.
SO ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THIS?

ANY WAY TO GET PREPARED FOR
THIS.
LIKE YOU DO IT WITH THE HOPES OF
LIKE SHOWING PEOPLE YOUR LIFE

STILETTOS.
-- DENTIST IN STILETTOS.
YOU'RE READY.

THAT.
AND WHEN I KEPT GETTING
RESPONSES BACK, OKAY, GIVE US
THIS, FILL THIS OUT.
RESERVOIRED THIS.
-- VIDEO THIS.
SKYPE THAT.
I KEPT GOING WITH THE PROCESS
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT I WAS
SIGNING A 50-PAGE CONTRACT WITH
MY LAWYERS.
>> WOW.
IN YOUR WILDEST DREAMS, DID YOU
EVER THINK YOU WOULD END UP ON A
REALITY SHOW?
>> NO, I THINK I PROBABLY
DAYDREAMED ABOUT IT LIKE
EVERYBODY ELSE.
I WATCH A LOT OF THIS STUFF.
BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT, I'M NOT
INTERESTING.
I'M JUST A DOCTOR.
AND THEN HERE CAME A SHOW ABOUT
DOCTORS.
SO I WAS LIKE, MAYBE I AM
INTERESTING.
>> DID YOU PERCEIVE IT TO BE
LIKE A REAL HOUSEWIVES KIND OF
DRAMA?
>> ANYTIME YOU GET A WHOLE BUNCH
OF LADIES TOGETHER THAT HAVE A
WHOLE LOT OF STRONG OPINIONS,
YOU'RE GOING TO GET DRAMA.
BECAUSE WE'RE USED TO BEING
RIGHT EVERY DAY.
>> WHO IS THE DRAMA QUEEN OF THE
CAST?
>> I THINK IT DEPENDS ON THE
DAY!
[LAUGHTER]
>> I WOULD SAY ELLIE.
>> I'LL TAKE THAT.
BUT NOT OVERALL.
>> THAT WAS NOT MY FINGER.
THAT WAS ERICA'S.
[LAUGHTER]
>> QUIET ONE.
>> SHE'LL SURPRISE YOU.
>> WHY IS ELLIE THE DRAMA QUEEN?
>> SHE HAS A LOT TO SAY.
[OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS]
>> SHE'S VERY LOUD.
AND SO I THINK SHE GETS NOTICED
MORE THAN EVERYBODY ELSE.
>> HER VOLUME GOES FROM LIKE
QUIET AND SWEET TO LIKE FULL-ON
PERSIAN!
[LAUGHTER]
>> OH-OH.
>> IT'S TRUE.
>> EXACTLY.
>> ELLIE IS, LIKE, YEAH.
>> THEY THINK I'M YELLING AT
THEM AND I'M JUST LIKE TALKING.
>> SHE'S AN AUDIOLOGIST.
SHE'S USED TO HAVING PEOPLE
LISTEN TO HER.
>> IN MY FAMILY WE SPEAK LOUD.
AND I GET IT.
SO DO WE.
BUT DANG.
>> I DO, WITH MY PATIENTS I'M
SCREAMING ALL THE TIME AND I'M
USED TO TALKING THAT WAY, SO
IT'S AN EVERYDAY THING FOR ME.
>> GIVE US THE BEHIND THE
SCENES.
YOU SAY THIS STUFF IS ALL STAGED
AND I KNOW OF COURSE, BEING IN
THE MEDICAL FIELD, THERE IS SOME
PLAN TO GO INTO IT WITH YOUR
SHOOTING SEGMENTS.
BUT ARE THE PRODUCERS EGGING
EACH OF YOU ON TO ARGUE WITHH&
EACH OTHER?
>> IF THEY ARE, WE DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT IT.
>> YEAH.
>> IF YOU'RE ARGUING YOU'RE
ARGUING IN REAL LIFE.
>> YEAH.
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED WAS
VERY ORGANIC.
>> AND YOU'RE ALSO DEALING
WITH -- I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE.
YOU'RE DEALING WITH WOMEN WHO
LOVE TO BE IN CONTROL, SO IT'S
VERY HARD TO PUSH THESE UP TO DO
WHAT -- TO DO ANYTHING.
THEY WANT TO US DO SOMETHING,
WE'RE LIKE, WHY.
WE HAVE TO KNOW WHY AND HOW AND
WHEN AND WHERE.
SO LIKE TO BE LIKE FIGHT, WE'RE
GOING TO BE LIKE --
>> YOU DON'T GET ON A SHOW LIKE
THIS WITHOUT BEING SOMEWHAT OF
AN ALPHA FEMALE.
SO --
>> WAIT A MINUTE.
SOME OF THESE SCENARIOS HAVE TO
BE A LITTLE BIT SET UP.
YOU'RE A VERY CALM PERSON, AND
IN THE FIRST EPISODE --
>> I THINK WE GOT SNOWED IN THE
FIRST EPISODE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> WE FEEL LUCKY TO HAVE SEEN IT
AHEAD OF TIME.
BUT YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND, YOU
KNOW, YOU HAVE A LITTLE CHAT
ABOUT FAMILY PLANNING AND THAT
WAS CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT WAS
SORT OF SET UP.
SO DO YOU THIN THAT AS A CALM
PERSON IN REAL LIFE --
>> WAS IT SET UP OR NOT SET UP?
>> I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT
IS A VERY BIG TOPIC IN OUR HOUSE
AND THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
ALL THE TIME.
AND SO IT WAS NATURAL TO HAVE
THAT CONVERSATION.
I DON'T KNOW THAT --
>> NATURAL TO HAVE A FAMILY
PLANNING CONVERSATION WITH
CAMERAS FOLLOWING YOU AROUND?
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.
LIABILITY WAS JUST A
CONVERSATION WE WOULD NORMALLY
HAVE EXCEPT WE HAD 20 PEOPLE
HAVING WITH US
>> AND WEARING MICROPHONES.
>> YEAH.
>> HAVE YOU GOTTEN USED TO THAT
BEING FOLLOWED BY CAMERAS?
>> IN A CROWD I THINK I REALLY
ENJOYED IT.
I ACTUALLY THRIVED ON IT.
WHEN WE DID A LITTLE SCENE AT
THE RODEO, THERE'S SO MANY
PEOPLE AND YOU'RE LIKE, WHEW.
BUT WHEN IT'S JUST LIKE YOU AND
ONE OTHER PERSON, LIKE -- YOU
KNOW, YOU'RE HAVING A
HART-TO-HEART.
>> I -- HEART-TO-HEART.
>> I KIND OF MISS THE CAMERAS.
>> DO YOU REALLY?
I LOVED IT.
IT WAS FUN.
>> YOU SAID THAT NATURALLY WHEN
YOU GET A BUNCH OF WOMEN
TOGETHER, YOU HAVE DIFFERENT
PERSONALITIES.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT
OF CONFLICT.
FOR VIEWERS OUT THERE, TELL US A
LITTLE BIT WHAT WE CAN EXPECT.
IS THIS ANOTHER "HOUSEWIVES"?
>> IT'S DEFINITELY NOT.
I FEEL LIKE THE DRAMA, THE
STAKES ARE HIGHER WITH THIS
GROUP OF WOMEN.
A DIVERSE, EDUCATED WOMEN AND
PEOPLE THAT ARE BATTLING REAL
ISSUES THAT YOU FACE WHEN YOU
HAVE TO GIVE YOU HAVE YOUR --
GIVE UP YOUR EDUCATION ASK DO
YOU PURSUE YOUR EDUCATION TO GET
MARRIED AND HAVE KIDS AND VICE
VERSA.
IT'S NOT THE PETTY, SHE CALLED
ME A BITCH OR SHE'S WEARING THE
SAME DRESS AS ME --
>> SHE WENT THERE.
>> WE WE ALL HAVE LIKE EITHER
BUSINESSES OR REPUTATIONS.
SO SOMETIMES THERE WAS THAT
PRESSURE OF LIKE --
>> I FLIP THE TABLE OR NOT.
>> YEAH.
AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF AN
EVERYDAY THING, CAMERAS OR NO
CAMERAS.
YOU TRY TO BE ON YOUR BEST
BEHAVIOR.
[OVERLAPPING SPEAKERS]
>> YOU ARE HELD TO A HIGHER
STANDARD BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN'T
HELP IT.
>> I LOVE YOU DO EARN ABOUT
Y'ALL'S BACKGROUND AND IT'S NOT
THE CASE THAT YOU GUYS WERE ALL
BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN YOUR
MOUTH.
I LOVED LISTENING TO -- YOU GUYS
HAVE ALL WORKED FOR EVERYTHING.
YOU WORKED REALLY HARD AND THE
CHALLENGES.
AND RACHEL, YOU'RE A STUDENT.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO FINISH UP.
>> YES.
>> DO YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE VERSUS YOU'RE
SITTING HERE WITH THREE DOCTORS
BEING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT?
>> YEAH.
I KIND OF FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO
FIGHT -- I HAVE TO FIGHT A
LITTLE BIT HARDER BECAUSE I'M
NOT A DOCTOR, I'M A WIFE, BUT
I'M ALSO PURSUING MY OWN CAREER
AS A NURSE.
AND NURSING IS SOMETHING I'M
VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT.
>> YOU FINISH SOON.
>> I FISH IN MEMBER.
SO WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BIG
PARTY FOR THAT, LET ME TELL YOU.
>> HAVE ANY -- CONGRATULATIONS
EARLY, CONGRATULATIONS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> HAVE ANY OF THESE LADIES BEEN
CRITICAL THAT YOU'RE NOT YET A
DOCTOR?
>> NO.
NO.
THEY'VE ALL BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE
OF ME.
EVEN ERICA SAID TAKES ME SEVEN
THE -- 10 MUSTERS TO DO -- 10
NURSES TO DO MY JOB.
SO NO, THEY HAVEN'T.
>> IS THIS WHAT YOU ALL SIGNED
UP FOR?
THIS FIRST EPISODE, THIS SEASON,
IT'S BEEN IN A WORKS FOR A LONG
TIME A YEAR AND A HALF IT'S BEEN
GOING.
COW FEEL LIKE THIS IS WHAT YOU
SIGNED UP FOR?
>> FOR ME, NO.
[LAUGHTER]
>> I THOUGHT I WOULD BE
OPERATING AND SHOWING SOME
BEFORE AND AFTERS AND LIKE DOING
MY THING AT WORK.
I WAS A LITTLE MORE CLUELESS.
I PROBABLY DIDN'T ASK THE RIGHT
QUESTIONS.
YOU WANT TO WATCH ME OPERATE?
GREAT.
I LOVE IT NOW THAT IT'S HERE.
IT JUST TOOK ME A WHILE TO WARM
UP TO IT.
>> LAST QUESTION, DO YOU FEEL
YOU'RE WORKING IN A MAN'S WORLD?
>> YEAH.
ABSOLUTELY.
THE WORLD THAT ALL OF US WORK IN
IS STILL A MAN'S WORLD.
WE JUST ARE REALLY GOOD AT OUR
JOBS AND WE'RE KIND OF SHOWING
HOW GRE WOMEN CAN BE IN
THAT -- IN A LOT OF CASES, YOU
KNOW, WE'RE BETTER.
>> HOPEFULLY AFTER TODAY, THINGS
WILL CHANGE.
>> I HOPE SO, TOO.
>> LISTEN, LADIES, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR COMING ON THE SHOW.
COME BACK ANYTIME.
GOOD LUCK WITH THE SHOW.
WE'LL BE WATCHING ON FRIDAY
NIGHT.
