What was with that set? All that was missing was a sign that said "Gooberville" over the stage. I did, however, think it was nice that the family was given that beautiful, new SUV.

I too did not care for Leeza Gibbons. She seemed like she wanted to be somewhere else. I hated her pretend accent. It drove me nuts!

I did like the ending to the show also..however...I wish they had spoken to the Ledings more. They seemed to talk to the people who only were with Paris and Nicole for only a day more than they did the family that took these girls into their home. Wasn't Braxton the cutest though! You could definitely tell Kane wasn't into any of this but he did soften at the end and told the girls that he took back every bad thing he ever said about them after seeing the Durango. You could tell that the Ledings were truly affected by all of this and they are a wonderful family. I actually cried at the end!

I would like to see the two teen boys go to the city, as suggested by Leeza! That would be cute!

Tishala: Let me just say, THANK YOU!!! You know, the thing about the SUV that bothered me (I was bothered, surprise, surprise), was, to a certain extent, a gift like this means the world to a family like the Ledings. Granted, they seemed financially comfortable, but still this was a big deal. To Paris and Nicole, a new SUV would be mean nothing. And they don't have a clue how much that SUV can really make a difference in someone's life. And can someone please explain why Paris kept calling the truck--which was clearly a truck--a car? Is this an American thing? Are all vehicles referred to as cars?

Well, as you all know, I've really enjoyed this show. But I didn't care for the reunion show. Nicole seemed like she didn't want to be there at all. And what's up with her new hairstyle? hmmm Paris and Nicole both kept playing with their hair, which drove me nuts. I have no idea why they picked Leeza Gibbons for the host. Boy, she was practically salivating over the girls, especially about "boy" thing..."Oh, this comes so naturally to the two of you..." Ick. And the way she was pointing out their beauty, sophistication, "party girl" status, etc. Ick again. It cracked me up when she asked Paris if she was accustomed to men just falling at her feet and Paris was all, "Well...no." haha Little Braxton is such a sweetie pie. He looked a little nervous at times, though. It really seemed like Paris and Nicole didn't really care for the dad in the family. The grandparents were just incredibly awesome. I think they feel more than a little empathy for Paris and Nicole, the way they were brought up and all. Mrs. Leding seems very cool. I didn't like the set either. Haystacks??? Come on! As far as the "car" thing, Scorpiomoon, no...that's not an American thing at all. It's a Paris thing evidently. LOL All in all, though, I thought the series in general was great and I'm looking forward to the finale tonight.

Actually, I fell asleep and missed it. Seriously. Between the previews on Access Hollywood et al and what they showed on the reunion show, I doubt I missed anything worth seeing.

I watched a little. I was flipping back & forth between The Apprentice and this show. I had already seen that episode of The Apprentice so it shows how interested I was in TSL. I did like the series though, the last two shows were just boring, sorry.

Why in the world did they show the Reunion before the last show? The Reunion made so much more sense after seeing the final episode. I couldn't figure out why everyone was so sweet to the girls on at the Reunion. Now I see that they made apologies & made restitution before they left. I actually teared up when they told Curly good bye.

On Inside Edition they announced who Nicole's bio father is. It's the leader of Wayne Brady's band, Peter Michael Escovito (sp??). I am shocked. The singer, Sheila E is her aunt. Peter Michael toured with Lionel and he was so taken with Nicole he offered to adopt her.

I'm still trying to figure out why they showed the reunion show before the finale. That was incredibly dumb. The DVD is on sale next week, I think... I'm going to buy it. There will be extras on the DVD - good ones, I hope. Nicole's "explanation" to the father was typical Nicole. I thought she was going to explain but then she went into the "I dunno know what happened" bit. I really think Nicole is funny but the bleach thing turned me off of her. Anyone who would destroy someone else's property is pretty mean at heart.

Thought that's what I heard on the news. Ford, Dodge, whatever-they got a Durango and the Durango was recalled.

Rslover - You might have heard "Ford" on the news. News media make mistakes too. The point was the Durango was recalled and I thank you for the info. Thats the first I heard of it when I read your post.

My life is in no way as simple as the Lexing family. However; I was raised in an environment very similar & appreciate the values that I have. Paris & Nicole have grown up "silver spooned". IMO the Lexing family probably got more out of this than Paris & Nicole. Little things mean alot to folks that have not been raised to take everything for granted.

Their parents must be so proud of them. Now I know why lions eat their young. I did LOL a few times. (Flipping the bird at the drivers outside the burger place... and maybe a few others.) The fake crying scene about the cat dying? Pouring dirty bucket water into milk bottles? Charging things on the other guy's store account? It is one thing exhibiting actions consistent with stupid and clueless... but they seem to be acting stupid and CRUEL. (I would bet they spit in the food and the producers had to edit it out.) Actually, these girls are far beyond acting stupid. They are handicapped with it. So they were supposed to be there for 30 days... I think they quit early. And they could BARELY get 6 30-minute shows out of it. You can imagine how bad most of the footage must have been if this is all we are going to see. (Paris looked better without makeup I think.) I think those girls were rude and disrespectful in general. As if their life would be over if they didn't go to the mall for an hour?! They kept saying they were 21 and 22... dad should have said, "Then act like it and grow up." Plus Nic's tantrum at the bar! Trashing the pool table? Pathetic. I know some of you all like the show... but I just don't see it. Maybe you can talk me into it.

I guess you either think it's funny or you don't. I laughed the hardest at Nicole crying about the cat ("my grandma said my cat died") and them carrying the ladder, trying to hide it so their boss couldn't make them change the sign ("where are you going with that ladder?").

I think Nicole has serious MENTAL issues. Really, b/c she was the one who started all the mischief. At the Sonic, she did the nasty message on their billboard, she dumped all the onion rings in the fryer at once, started shooting the finger at motorists, flirting with all the mail customers, hanging out at the drive thru when her job was fires, etc. But the sad part is that she is looking for validation. Everytime she did something stupid, childish or ignorant she would giggle, look at Paris for support. It was pathetic. It was like she looks up to Paris and wanted her approval for doing dumb stuff. She was the one with a constant attitude. Even on the award show, Paris looked beautiful, Nicole like a tramp. And when she cursed on live air what did she do,????Giggle and then look at Paris. How old were these <el> anyway? I watched 2 shows which were pointless and stupid.

Second 'Simple Life' in the Works at FOX (Monday, January 19 12:36 PM) By Rick Porter LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - In an announcement that took pretty much no one aback at the recently wrapped TV Critics Association winter press tour, FOX says it's working on a second edition of "The Simple Life." The only surprise, really, was that Gail Berman, president of FOX Entertainment, didn't have a premiere date in hand when she addressed critics Friday (Jan. 16). "We're talking about a couple of different ideas now with the producers, Bunim-Murray," Berman says. "I think we'll come up with a new plan shortly." The formula -- rich girls Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are sent, sans gold cards, somewhere far removed from their New York/Beverly Hills comfort zones to see how the other 99 percent lives -- will remain pretty much the same, Berman says. The show's producers haven't settled on a new location; the first time through, Hilton and Richie spent a month with a family in rural Arkansas. A second go-round for the show is close to a no-brainer for FOX. After the network stumbled out of the gate with duds like "Skin" and "The Next Joe Millionaire," "The Simple Life" provided a ratings boost. The show averaged about 10.4 million viewers a week and regularly won its time period among the younger viewers FOX targets. FOX also used repeats and "bonus" episodes to fill holes in its lineup throughout December.

Holy mother of God... I just saw a promo commercial for a "lost" episode of this show. It will air next week. When will this show just go away? Does Fox have no shame?

Guess what folks. There's going to be a Simple Life 2. Ms Paris was injured when she was thrown from a horse during recent filming.... Simple Life/Paris Hilton article Check out this part at the end of the article describing the first show..
quote:The young women appeared to break free from their sheltered upbringings, working odd jobs milking cows and hawking burgers at a fast-food restaurant while living with a family in ultra-rural Altus, Ark., population 817.
Appeared to break free......but no, this show wasn't staged. Right?

My understanding is that in II the girls will be making a 30 day coast to coast road trip. Tampa, where the horse incident occurred was the second stop. Maybe the second location but the first "stop." I happened to be in Tampa last week and it was on the local news but I didn't pay much attention.

Spoiler/Gossip Alert! A group of us went to Bandera, Texas to visit friends. Bandera just happens to be known as "Cowboy Capital" and to be quite honest there is not much there besides some beer joints. {and also some quaint antique stores BUT Paris and Nicole are supposed to stay there for a few days and work at at local watering hole and another place for 2 days. I met the lady that owns the old fashioned drug store on the main drag and she and her family were interviewed to be the family that the girls stay with. It was a couple of weeks ago that that I heard this and at the time she still hadn't heard if they had been picked. Being a veteran of reality shows it is my professional opinion that Fox should pick her family. After all her sisters boyfriend is a fiddle player named "Dusty Britches" and he happens to live on the ranch. Anyways, it was lots of fun talking "shop" with the potential family Mom and I am keeping my fingers crossed that they pick her family.
