Does Paris ever wear underwear? It seems every show they love to point out that she doesn't which I certainly don't mind. I think the show is pretty funny, but I would probably be annoyed if I was in the family.

The one thing that annoys me about that family is that they keep saying "oh this reflects poorly on us, blah blah blah." Why would the other townspeople judge the family by some LA girls who have come to live with them for a month for a tv show?

Well you have to think of it this way. They are the family that agreed to let the girls live with them. Many of the towns people, especially the older ones which there are alot of, probably didn't want them in the town in the first place.

So when the girls started doing those outrageous stunts, it only confirms what the naysayers were saying from the beginning. So they will blame the family for allowing these outsiders to bring their 'big city' ways to their small town. I believe that the people that are offended by the girls, will treat the family different from this point on. And at times I think the family is offended by many of the things that Paris & Nicole do, especially that last part about using their boss' charge card deceitfully.

Fox news had one of the guys from the town on the show. Apparently, he was dating Paris for awhile. She even hooked him up with a modeling job. The funny thing is that he's 17, and the trip to NYC ofr the show was his first time out of Altus. In fact, he was dating someone when he started hooking up with Paris (his childhood sweet heart) and he dumped her to screw around with Paris. He even said that he was the one who "consoled" her through the internet video release.

Well I was watching the Laker game and Nicole Richie was there and they decided to interview her as the game was going on. And they ask her who her favorite Laker was and she said Kobe. And then she said she wanted to have sex with him. They cut away real fast and there was uncomfortable silence for about 15 seconds! :lol:

She's on the Highway to Hell! ;)

I saw that too, Bill MacDonald looked very uncomfortable. That was great !!

big whoppa 12-20-03 10:53 PM

Not smart to interview her live.

theman1971 01-05-04 01:31 PM

What happened to this show? The last episode I caught was the one where they charged that one farmer's credit card...

Fox has been going overboard with reruns. They should have done more episodes.

Well they didn't know that they had a hit on their hands when they were filming it. Plus, how many zany, madcapped adventures can these 2 girls get themselves in? ;)

rabbit77 01-08-04 09:37 AM

Anyone catch this last night? I only caught the last 10 minutes, but what a destructive malcontent of a bitch Nicole is.

SpaceBoy 01-09-04 11:19 AM

I saw the show last night. I really, feel bad for the fam having to put up with those girls. The show was sorta funny at first, but now I just think to myself what b@tches, I would be so mad if I was one of the regulars at that bar or someplace and had to put up with them coming in and trying to take over everything..

icondude 01-09-04 01:57 PM

I still can't figure out why Nicole was shoving her arm up that cows ass. What was the intended purpose?

artifical insemination. fun fun fun

I would break Nicole in half if that was my pool table she poured bleach on.

Yeah but then Fox decided before the show even aired that it was worth DVD treatment?

mrpayroll 01-11-04 10:04 AM

After this last episode and their bad behavior, they have worn out their welcome. In the beginning it was funny. They were fish out of water and trying to get by. Now they are totally disrespectful of the family they are staying with and with the towns people. I'm glad that next weeks episode is the last, because I'm not laughing at their antics anymore.

It will be really interesting to see the reunion special next week also. I'd like to see how the other people feel about them, 6 months later.

SPiRAL 01-11-04 11:59 AM

I'm not sure if " Chops " can make it here, on the mean streets of L.A.

Tarnower 01-11-04 05:52 PM

Yeah, this show was good for the first couple of episodes. Now it's just mean-spirited and unfunny. Nicole has turned into a real bitch on steroids. She needs to be put in her place.

big whoppa 01-11-04 09:25 PM

Lionel needs to give her a spanky.

kramdenfan 01-12-04 10:52 AM

Did I miss an episode? The last episode I saw was the bleach episode, and the previews showed the reunion as the next episode. It seems to me that there should be some sort of Paris and Nicole leaving episode before there's a reunion, right? Didn't the end of the bleach episode say "To be continued?"

kramdenfan 01-12-04 10:54 AM

I just saw on the fox website that there's a reunion, THEN the season finale.... seems kind of backward....

FuzzyBallz 01-12-04 03:55 PM

The farm folks should just tight the two bitches up and burn them at the stake, country style. Pour some honey BBQ sauce on them while they're at it. Maybe the Webster dictionary should put the pics of Paris and Nicole next to the term White Trash.

big whoppa 01-13-04 11:56 PM

Anyone see the reunion? That was pretty dull. Leeza Gibbons asked some uninteresting questions.

mrpayroll 01-14-04 12:23 AM

It was stupid to put a studio audience for a reunion show. It made it so cheesy, with everyone gushing over Paris and Nicole. You could tell that Paris has gained some weight in the face. I actually thought that Leeza Gibbons looked the best out of the 3 of them and I usually don't go for anybody my age or older! ;)

Yes it was a pretty dull show. They should have just made it a 'what didn't make it on the show' clips show, because some of that was pretty funny.

Chris

Tarnower 01-14-04 07:05 AM

I don't get why the reunion show was aired before the final episode? Overall, I thought the reunion was about as worthless an hour of TV watching as I've experienced in a long time. But, yet, I still watched. Damn that Completionist streak in me!!!

Tarnower 01-14-04 07:12 AM

As far as Paris and Nicole's performances on the reunion:

Nicole definitely is the more articulate of the two. She can at least give an answer that is slightly more complex than the "I loved them," "He's hot," "It was cool" type of responses than came from Paris.

Paris, despite her image as an international celebrity, seems very meek and self-conscious (although vain). She just didn't seem nearly as comfortable at the reunion as Nicole did.

I felt sorry for the father of the family (forgot his name). He seemed so nervious I thought he was gonna melt down. Other family members, while not giving particularly extensive answers to questions, seemed more at ease. I know it's not a spot they're used to, but I still felt pretty bad for the father.

Nice to see they got that SUV at the end. The mother was crying. And Nicole was fighting back tears as well. Hell, even I was crying. Just kidding :lol:

Patman 01-14-04 08:15 AM

I thought I had missed the season finale when I heard the reunion show was on last night, and then surprise surprise, the finale is on tonight. That is wacky scheduling on Fox's part.

MrR0boto 01-14-04 09:31 AM

That was a truly painful hour of television.

I felt sorry for the studio audience. You could definately sense their discomfort and embarrassment when they had to do that pig call. When Leeza asked them if they had missed Paris and Nicole, there was an awkward pause before the audience realized the applause sign was on. I know half of them were going to yell "NO!".

Yeah. Such as:
"Sometimes I like, say things and like, other times I think of things. "


Please...somebody tranquilize her with heroin so she'll shut the hell up. -ohbfrank-

I had the exact same feeling. I almost couldn't watch it because it was so uncomfortable. You just know that many people in that audience were happy to see them go, but were on their best behavior for the tv cameras.

Nicole and Paris did not look comfortable answering questions, and when they did it was the usual "it was a great time, a great experience, blah blah blah" that you would expect to hear. Completely pointless, IMO.

It was just too painful for me to bear. I couldn't belive when Leeza made the audience do the pig call. You could tell that most of them have never, and would never, do that in their lives. That was perfectly shown on camera when they showed the audience and one girl had no clue what to do. Leeza was also overly upbeat, which made everyone else seem more uncomfortable. Basically you could sum up the the reunion show as UNCOMFORTABLE with a few laughs thrown in.

vaporware 01-14-04 11:03 AM

Pig call..puuleeze. We only do that in the south during sex.

DaveNinja 01-14-04 11:32 AM

worst hour of television ever.pure pain

kramdenfan 01-14-04 02:36 PM

wow- I had taped it (damn locals still aren't available for my tivo!), but now I probably won't bother with it after those reviews!
