That pie bit just looked so set up. The way the girls were behaving and such. I think they must have done a retake later on or something.

mrpayroll 12-17-03 10:53 PM

Tonights episode was not really funny and it looks like they may have worn out their welcome with the family at the end. It's one thing to screw up on the job, but to charge something without permission and then not take responsibility for it, just doesn't seem funny to me.

I hate that I laugh so hard during this show. It's juvenile and so obviously staged, but each week something happens that makes me explode with laughter. Nichole's horrible crying routine was just too funny.

I could see where that would concern you, Mrpayroll.

Hey, they were making fun of it just being $100 or so. To them it was change, but to their boss, that could be a lot of money.

$100 is alot to most of us. That Nicole is such a bad influence. They're lucky the guy doesn't press charges.

Airs tonight as well. A one hour repeat.

Bigsierra 12-18-03 01:02 PM

$100 is a lot to me, especially in this season. I certainly wasn't saying it wasn't much. I was just guessing that Mrpayroll would keep a pretty close eye on things like that. hehe

I'm sure it's going to be covered "somehow", maybe behind the scenes. They just showed us the interesting part, but I'm sure the girls could pay for it, if needed, but it probably came out of production cost.

Do we even know if the production company is paying these people to hire them? What would be these comanies motivation to hire two girls that have never used a time clock and don't know a thing about doing a full days work? I'm sure one day of work is going to end up being a loss, on the books. Training takes too much time.

mrpayroll 12-18-03 02:51 PM

I'm sure they've 'greased' the palms of these employers, whether it's money or free advertising for their company.

Just watched the pie and kissing booth episode. Loved it. Most hilarious reality TV ever, staged or not. It's a shame that there's only 7 episodes.

Jackskeleton 12-19-03 01:03 AM

You know, I just watched the five episodes back to back. I'm really enjoying the show. funny stuff.

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.

Thanks for the info guys!

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? ;)
