I'm a little late to this thread, but I have to say that Tuesday's show at the Sonic Burger was single handedly the funniest thing I have seen in a looong time. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath.
If I had in infinite amount of money and never worked a day in my life, how seriously do you think I would take my first day at Sonic? That show gives you the answer.

There is an article in People magazine about the show. Paris admits that she really did know what Walmart was and that they was just "playing a part". It also says that none of the bottles that they filled ever made it to market and that "It was totally for show".

Dairy Farmer Danny Council says that it was his idea "to have them wash the tractor and they happened to be in swimsuits at the time".

The wife says that the truck really does have problems getting into reverse, so it wasn't the driver's fault.

Well damn, that just about ruins all of the 'reality' of this show for me! :mad:

Does anyone else think Paris needs to eat something? She looks like a skeleton with a wig on.

I think Nicole is actually kinda cool. She actually tried to work at the dairy and she tried to have a normal conversation with the family.

I was afraid of the staged bits coming from the Real World producers. Still love it. They're just making themselves look dumb.

I was also thinking of Dukes of Hazzard also during the show. Will check the narrator next time.
I don't know who the sound-alike narrator is, but it most definitely is not singer Waylon Jennings, who narrated the Dukes of Hazzard (and who wrote and sung the Dukes theme song), because he's quite dead at the moment.

I'm hoping it willl be uncensored like they did with The Osbournes and Anna Nicole :D:up:

matta 12-16-03 08:56 PM

Well it was on today. That's about all I have to say about that. Oh, and they're really bad at exacting revenge on ex-girlfriends.

big whoppa 12-16-03 08:59 PM

Damn. I missed it.

Mopower 12-16-03 09:07 PM

Ha. I love how they constantly make fun of that hick town and it's people.

dom56 12-16-03 11:06 PM

Damn... wish I was one of the lucky bastards that kissed Nicole's ass at the fair. :)

Deftones 12-16-03 11:37 PM

hahaah, this is the greatest show ever!

Supposedly, Paris has signed a deal with Fox for another reality show that she will be the star of! :up:

spainlinx0 12-17-03 12:56 AM

Damn, I deleted it by mistake before watching it. Arrgghhh, was it good?

Luckily they are replaying it this week.

big whoppa 12-17-03 01:54 AM

When does the repeat air?

mrpayroll 12-17-03 08:59 AM

There is a new episode tonight. So that means that there are only 2 more episodes left, because I heard there were only 7 episodes.

And last nights episode was filmed in May. I wonder why they took so long to put it on the air?

Editing. They had to sort through many hours of footage to create a story in 1/2 hour increments.

Well, it was originally going to be an mid-season Summer show, but so many people that tested it liked it, they decided to hold off and air it during sweeps. Guess that was wise considering how well the ratings first did.

It's a pretty good lead in for 24 since there's nothing else on.

I loved the look on the ex-girlfriend's face when Nicole said 'And tonight we're going to tag team him " as it went from confident to just scared shitless when she realized that with Paris and Nicole *they* might actually do it. :lol:

Michael Corvin 12-17-03 10:30 AM

I've seen a few of these, mostly because of the lead in to 24. Nothing much else on. But it seems pretty scripted to me. I mean who would sit a pie on the ground in the yard? It did make for a funny bit. Kudos to the writers. :up:

SBatL8y 12-17-03 01:35 PM

They didn't sit the pies on the ground, they set them on the bench swing. I thought it seemed pretty believable to me. They just got tired of carrying them around and set them down so they could go in and use the phone to call for a ride. I thought it was pretty funny.

I also found it hilarious that only Nicole's pie was ruined by the dog. She saw that Paris' pie was fine, so she stepped in it. :D

big whoppa 12-17-03 07:42 PM

Watching it now, I'm laughing my head off. Nicole is so bad. I thought Paris would be the one. Nicole is the slut doing the Basic Instinct impression on the farmer and the instigator with charging the mirror and birdhouse to his account.

zuffy 12-17-03 08:04 PM

That was one of the worst fake cry ever!

No doubt, but it made for a hilarious scene.

I don't know, but it sure did look like the girls sat their pies on the grass to me, and that's why I also thought the whole deal with the pies was kind of unbelievable, but I agree it was still funny though when Nicole stepped on Paris' pie. Poor Grandma, she was so proud of girls in their efforts at making their pies from scratch. It's too bad they went and spoiled it all.
