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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?

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

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...

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.

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.

I was also thinking of Dukes of Hazzard also during the show. Will check the narrator next time.

Funny that they didn't know what to do with a paycheck.

Episodes #1 and #2 reair this evening from 9:00 pm ET to 10:00 pm ET after a new episode of "Tru Calling". (Although if you check the fox website, theres a schedule for tonight on the front page saying 8:30 pm ET/9:00 pm ET with "Tru Calling" airing for just a half-hour from 8:00 pm ET to 8:30 pm ET. Definiately a misprint there. LOL!) Cool, I get to see the first episode.

This show is more entertaining than I had anticipated. It's sad in some respects, but funny in other respects.

While ratings dipped for FOX's "The Simple Life" in its second week, the reality hit remained the night's highest rated program in the key demographics and helped carry the network to a Tuesday night ratings split.

CBS began the night in front as the venerable "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" earned a 7.8/12 for the 8 p.m. hour. ABC was second with the new Peanuts special "I Want a Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown," which earned a 6.1/10, a whisker in front of the average for FOX's "That 70s Show" (5.2/8) and "The Simple Life" (7.0/11). NBC took fourth with "The Tracy Morgan Show" and "Whoopi." On UPN, "One on One" and "All of Us" averaged a 2.0/3 to edge the numbers for The WB's "The Gilmore Girls."

The show is pretty funny but only because those 2 girls are just so damn stupid. And I don't see what the big deal with Paris is ... I don't find her all that attractive, it looks like someone grabbed her by the chin and pulled down and stretched out her whole face. She's just got the ultimate "snooty" look to her. And the other one just kinda bugs me too. What the hell would they do if they got disowned? They can't even keep a job in a fast food place
