I was actually surprised at how much I was laughing at it, whether it was scripted or not.

I do agree, though- Nicole seems much more down to earth than Paris.

...and I think they're both hot! :drool:

See, I just couldn't bring myself to watch it. As much as I relish the thought of the two of them being humiliated, I have no doubt that the series is going to try to make just as much fun of the people in this town who are just trying to live their lives. That really offends me.
The show depicts Arkansas residents as pigs' feet lovin', chicken pluckin', tick-ridden, well-in-bedroom loving country folk.

However, Fox still manages to make Hilton and Richie look worse. :D

I have to admit I found myself laughing aloud more than once during this show. Nicole I don't find attractive, but I do think Paris is kind of cute. Obviously her personality is out there, but I still think the show is fun.

I will keep tuning in to see what happens.

Are you sure Nicole's mother is white? Lionel current wife filed for seperation. They have a 9 year old son and a 5 year old daughter. Lionel's ex-wife, Brenda Richie, is black.

I would do her -other-

But more importantly, who is Nicole? I have never heard of her.

I believe I saw a special on "E" a while back that interviewed Lionel's daughter (Nicole). I think she said she was adopted. That's why she has no resemblance to the man.

I wouldn't say "no resemblance." She does look like a man.

CBS began the night in first with "JAG," which pulled down an 8.9/10. ABC had a slim advantage for second in total viewers with "A Charlie Brown Christmas," but FOX was in a dead heat with "That 70s Show" (5.1/8) <b>and the impressive 8.1/12 debut for "The Simple Life" (the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie reality entry was also the night's highest rated program among adults 18-49). </b>

I missed the beginning. What happened? I only saw the girls right before the plane trip. And they thought they were going to Paris? HA!

Well, telling them that they were going to Paris is not a complete lie. Paris Ar is within 30 minutes of Altus..heh heh:D:D

I didn't see the show, but the Walmart line reminded me of an episode of Rich Girls, when Hilfinger's daughter and her friends were talking about how they wear cargo pants as a fashion statement, but people in the Midwest wear them because they need all the pockets while they are working in the fields. :)

bigsoos 12-03-03 01:47 PM

I can't stand the show Rich Girls. Stupid A$$ spoiled girls complaining about nothing. Hilfinger's friend looks like Joey Fatone w/ a wig.

I find Paris unattractive too. Not just her looks, but her personality as well. At least Nicole seems more down to earth.

Paris: "There's no Reverse gear in this truck!"

big whoppa 12-03-03 02:35 PM

Paris seems to be either on drugs or anorexic. That's what I see from the expression on her face.

I had never heard of Paris Hilton before the sex tape scandal. In fact, when I first heard about it, I thought it involved a sex tape and the Paris, France Hilton hotel.

big whoppa 12-03-03 02:49 PM

I knew about Paris and her sister who seem joined at the hip. They were/are always hanging around celebrities. I had no idea who they were though. The shows called them heiresses but that didn't ring a bell. Then I thought about their last name and I was like "DUH!"

bigsoos 12-03-03 03:55 PM

somebody give Paris a few cheeseburgers!

I think the family's lil boy (Braxton I think) is adorable. He was funny w/ the fly swatter in the girls' porch.... I mean room.

movieking 12-03-03 05:58 PM

I don't find either one of them at all attractive. However, I will check out a couple of episodes to see what the hype is all about...

Michael T Hudson 12-03-03 06:14 PM

The best line was when the son was saying if they are snooty little bitches. rotfl

Paris: What is the well for?

mrpayroll 12-03-03 08:59 PM

Remember, it's on again tonight!

We didn't mind the first show, but the second one was pretty bad. It seemed like the pace was just screwy and almost came to a stop several times. It's just not funny seeing the same kind of humor over and over again, when it's not really that funny in the first place. Are their parent's proud of their girls when they see this? Or is it just another way of them showing the world how much better their lives are? My wife and I also thought it was Paris, not Nicole, that seemed to have a more "soft" and "kind" side, mostly hidden by all the narcissism. But, aside from being dull and shallow, we noticed it was from the people from the Real World, so we kind of wondered if most of this is just staged in the first place as was brought up in earlier posts.

Paris is kind of attractive, but it's hard to really tell because she's so in love with herself that its hard to get past that. I have seen pictures of her with her hair shorter and she looks much better.

I doubt we'll tune in again if the 3rd show is as boring as the 2nd was. I'm wondering if other people felt the novelty wore off really quickly.

Boot 12-03-03 09:20 PM

I tuned into the first show simply because Altus is about a 40 minute drive from where I live. It was about what I expected it to be except the first show at least didn't seem to make as much fun of "Arkansas hicks" as I thought it would. A few funny moments, but Paris, especially, was so annoying that I doubt I'll bother tuning in again.

Deftones 12-03-03 10:27 PM

i thought the 1st episode was pretty funny. i'll continue to watch with the hopes that I may one day bang the wholly hell out of Paris. :drool:

based on her behavior, you probably have a 1 in 3 shot of actually doing that one day.
