Well the show inspired me not to EVER stay at a Hilton. That way I'm not contributing to the stupidity that has fueled the Hilton kingdom.

I also have high hopes of the Hilton empire crumbling like Enron and then these girls having to work like this FOR REAL.

But who hasn't heard of Wal-mart? Even if you don't have one nearby.

There are Walmarts in LA County though. I know of 3 off hand. One in Long Beach, one in Cerritos, and one not to far from Cerritos -- I forget what city it is.

I believe there is a Walmart in Baldwin Hills now too.

How old are you now? Wal-mart is the largest corporation in the world (or so I'm told). Again, even if you've never been to one, by now (2003), you should definately know what one is.

Ditto here. She's a skank. And an ugly one at that.

:lol:

this show is funny. I love the little kid and the dog.

Paris looks like a $10 hooker, but I'd bang her in a heartbeat. :up:

mllefoo 12-04-03 05:40 PM

Paris carries herself well - like a model going down a catwalk, but she has a permanent sneer on her face, and that really does nothing to compliment whatever physical assets she might have. She looks anorexic, her hair is stringy, and she hasn't shown any personality beyond that of a spoiled princess.

Nicole looks a bit like a Moncchichi.

I'm waiting for the day they have to muck out the horse stalls, plow the field, and change that little boy's diaper a few times.

But still not one within 20 miles of where I live! :mad:

I seriously doubt there a Wal-Mart store in Rodeo Drive. Maybe that why they never heard of it. :)

Ditto. Now, if you're talking about her sister Nikki, I'd change my mind.

Have to wait until next week. An earlier preview had Nicole sticking her hand in a cow's ass. :) I loved what they are about to do with the letters on the Rally's sign.

I'm 22 now and yes I have heard of them and I know a lot about them, but didn't know much when I was younger. I actually had heard of the company before the age I mentioned, but didn't know much about them other than they were a big retailer so I just said I hadn't heard about them.

I guess it is tough to not know about the company, but I don't think the girl reads the news unless it is about her, and I don't think she would ever find the need to step into one, so I can see where she might not have ever heard of it. I'm not saying it's normal, but she does not exactly live a normal life.

When the family asked her if she ever traveled out into the country before, didn't she say something about the only places she ever visits are NY, LA, and Paris? I guess it's possible to not know what a Wal Mart is, but seems somewhat unlikely.

Cusm 12-05-03 10:17 AM

With the Walton family being the wealthiest in the country (if not the world) I find it hard she has not heard of them. I am sure she has never stepped foot in one, or Target, K-Mart and hundreds of other stores we have all frequented. She has watched tv right? Last time I checked Wal-Mart advertises, no doubt she has heard of them, stupid "Real World" producers.

I don't find it far-fetched at all that she wouldn't know about Wal-Mart or the Waltons. You're assuming she's knowledgeable about the world of finance or has been to a Wal-Mart. I remember an episode of Designing Women where Delta Burke's character thought Bill Gates was the richest man in the US. No, it was Sam Walton at the time.

Oh yeah, the skankier the better. Bring it on hos. I bet she's hella kinky too. Dumb rich girls turns me on.

She is in that 18-24 age group, that group heavily watches tv, even she has done this I am sure. Wal-Mart has an aggressive ad campaign. It is unlikely she has not heard of Wal-Mart. I even stated that I am sure she has never stepped foot in a WM.

I would be real surprised if she has not met the Waltons at least once. These (Waltons and Hiltons) are two families that make up a very small group in the US, I am sure there paths have crossed in a social circumstance.

Okheresthedeal 12-06-03 06:30 AM

As I understand it, the series ends with both preggers. Paris comes out of the bathroom holding an EPT stick, completely incoherent. Richie consoles her and says the stick is bad, goes in herself with a new stick and the next scene is of her sitting on the bathroom floor rocking back and forth.

big whoppa 12-09-03 06:12 PM

Third episode airs tonight. Should be fun with the two girls working at Sonic as mascots.

She is not part of the typical 18-24 boob tube watching group, and I doubt she gives a rat's ass about other rich families, she seems more hollywood oriented.

Gallant Pig 12-09-03 07:59 PM

Btw: funny episode!

big whoppa 12-09-03 08:00 PM

Hilarious episode. Nicole and the onion rings. Giving the finger in the mascot outfits and running to the store across the street. Screwing with the sign. Nicole flirting with all the guys. Putting the number of exemptions on the tax forms. What? Goofing with the quilt ladies.

dolphinboy 12-09-03 08:44 PM

It feels so contrived that it doesn't even seem to warrant a laugh most of the time because the gag was clearly set up or encouraged, but when they were in the costumes giving people the finger, it was pretty funny.

I've had the anal wieners at Sonic. They're awful and not worth it, even at 1/2 price.

big whoppa 12-09-03 10:48 PM

Yeah, I have to admit it felt like the people behind the cameras were telling Nicole to do those things. You know they would act differently if the cameras weren't on.

BizRodian 12-09-03 11:11 PM

This should would be better without that fake sounding narator.

TomOpus 12-09-03 11:28 PM

Paris: "This is the smallest...town...ever" :lol:

Blake 12-10-03 12:24 AM

I just feel sorry that they are humans. They just give us all a bad name. The first show wasn't too bad - missed the second one and couldn't watch tonights. They're just so stupid, so lazy, so ignorant...it's just too stupid to watch.

Gcomeau 12-10-03 08:56 AM

The narrator sounds like the guy from Dukes of Hazzard. I hope i'm not the only one who thinks this.

spainlinx0 12-10-03 09:43 AM

I'm waiting for the uncensored version of that club scene with Paris lifting her dress. What a skank. :)

syphon00 12-10-03 10:08 AM

god damn what a skank?
I'm suprised that her parents haven't disowned her
has she done playboy spread yet?
she can put on all the gucci she wants to but still look like a cheap $5 hooker

tofu 12-10-03 10:49 AM

Does anybody know what the family they're staying with does for a living? They don't really seem to have a lot of farming stuff on their land except for the chickens and they seem to be home a lot. Me and the gf were trying to figure it out last night.

mrpayroll 12-10-03 10:55 AM

I love this show! It makes me feel better about myself and my minimum wage salary! At least I have a grip on reality. ;)

big whoppa 12-10-03 12:34 PM

Who's the bigger skank? Lionel must be flipping over Nicole's skankiness.

I don't know what the family does but they do have alot of daily chores.

They do have a lot of chores, but, thankfully, they have a big ole chalkboard to keep track of them.

Nichole was hitting on every single guy that was within a mile limit. I don't think she cared what they looked like.

Last night was a funny episode. It does look like they are egged on to do some of that stuff. I liked how the sonic manager had to stop herself from laughing when she saw that sign. It also seems like Paris puts in a little more effort working, especially when Nichole isn't around.

big whoppa 12-10-03 03:51 PM

It was hilarious how the manager was scolding them in the store and dragging them out like little children. Instead of firing them, she trusted them with the food? :D

Nicole got excited over some sweaty, hairy red-neck in a pick-up truck. She's not too particular.

DRG 12-10-03 04:19 PM

I liked the ep, but the girls were obviously trying too hard to be disruptive at the Sonic. The scene in the mascot outfits on the floor of the grocery store was just silliness. Unless they were drunk or on drugs at the time...

SirPablo 12-11-03 01:17 AM

The sad thing is that I live in Arkansas...it's all too painful to watch :( Wish I was back in Minnesota...

I hate Sonic.

Tommy Ceez 12-11-03 08:47 AM

I am convinced Paris and Nicole have NO IDEA about wal mart. I guarentee that they dont watch more than 3 hours of TV a week. The're shopping or by the pool all day, and drinkin and getting high all night. Why the **** watch tv if you can get into any club, afford any dinner, party with any celebrity, and get screwed on any videocam they want.
As far as the Waltons, do you think Paris socializes with her parents friends? She's off in the poolhouse sniffing coke off some Rockefellers kids ass during family parties. These two girls are WAY too clueless to know ANYONE remotely connected with reality.
