In WI everyone has to pluck a chicken a day :)

I love farms but I don't think I could work on one...killing chickens and the whole cow thing grossed me out to. I love visiting the countryside and visiting farms but it just doesn't seem like the life for me...unless of course someone else is doing the work...sunsets on the beach is my way of life...wouldn't change a thing:)
I have to give kudos to Paris...she didn't have to do this show but she did...yes for fame but I couldn't think of anyone better to play the part...I think she's a hoot to watch:)

So is this show on every night then or was last night just a special thing? I taped it Tuesday night but never got to watching it until this morning- realizing then that there was the little thing in the corner advertising the "all new episode" tomorrow (yesterday). So I missed the second one. I liked it- cheap entertainment, but I liked it.

The girls are kinda sheltered/clueless but I do think they're being good sports. When they arrived at the house, I was just thinking of some movie I saw where a rich city type guy has his car break down in a small town and gets stuck there. Not Doc Hollywood but a different movie. Well, was Doc Hollywood the one where he had to take a boat out on a river to see some pregnant girl? It's been a long time.

Ketchuplover- I've never plucked a chicken, but you know, Appleton is verrry high society :) LOL

I caught this for the first time last night. Hilarious! But what a couple of clueless, spoiled girls. I'm surprised Lionel Richie's daughter is so spoiled. When they were pouring the water into the milk bottles to fill them up, I was appalled and yet amused. This seemed like the easiest part of the job and they still couldn't do it.

I wonder if PETA is alarmed at seeing her froo-froo dog going down the slide. :)

Zgood, she does look like Lucy from Dallas, you're so right.

I love this show, that was hillarious when the dog went down the slide, I love that little kid.

Can't wait to see what happens when they go "out on the town", lmao.

The little boy with the dog had to be the funniest part of the show last night.
Now I know that these two have never had jobs before but come on here, who takes their bathing suit to work and then makes themselves at home in their employers house - taking a nap.
I couldn't believe what they did to the milk - people were going to be drinking this. Yeck!
I find Nicole more adapting to this than Paris. Nicole at least seemed to know enough to just wear jeans and a sweater to the BQQ while Paris dressed to the nines to go out to the backyard.

The show's not bad....

LOVE the little boy, I almost peed my pants when he put "Tink" on the sliding board, that is a classic!!

I think a 1/4 of my stomach fat would give Paris a shapely body, that girl so needs to eat! Nicole rubs me the wrong way....dunno yet but will post when I find out.

With my current financial situation it is kinda hard watching this show, knowing how they live their jet-setting lives.

March: Even though this is being toted as a "reality" show. I don't think it is. I think a lot of the stuff (like the stuff you mentioned) is staged.

I read/heard somewhere the girls didn't want to initially show up wearing dresses and heels but their "stylist" told them to.

I suspect they got a lot of direction.

Scorpio - It will be interesting to see their post interviews.

I laughed through the show last night and have fallen in love with that little boy. I think that the family must really be good people. Grandma helping him to make a cheese sandwich for tinkerbell was too cute. And I agree that the dog going down the slide was priceless!!! It is too bad the dog can't talk....this is a change for him (or her) too!

Scorpio, I hope you are right about the dresses being a stylist's decision. That would make sense of a few other things then, like the dairy farmer wearing Wranger jeans and the hairstyle on the woman they are staying with. I think those have to be stylist inventions, too. And thank goodness.

I was also wondering where they got the bathing suits at the dairy farm to just pop into the hot tub? Do they carry bathing suits everywhere,or was this a bit of a set up? lol,who cares,it's funny

Tishala... why would a dairy farmer not be wearing Wrangler jeans and why do you think the hairstyle is an "invention"?

I also don't understand the comment about the farmer not wearing Wrangler jeans. Only $13.99 at our local Wal-Mart [large sizes $2.00 more] and extremely durable! I know alot of farmers who wear them, and also alot of factory workers. Cheap but durable, and much better looking than the $9.99 Rustlers.

The show has to be totally staged and scripted but its still funny. I hated that other show that was following The 70's Show so I am happy. :)

I don't care if it's staged or not, this show is funny! I almost died when Nichole starting screaming at those cows to move down the run. Or when the farmer told her that she could kill the bell now.

I'm from Texas, and if you go to any kind of stockshow, rodeo, or cattle auction, 99.9% of them farmers are gonna be wearing Wranglers (the older ones might be wearing Dickies). They are cheap, durable, and make those cowboys packages look goooood.

During the show there was a Stetson Cologne ad and I laughed thinking "now that is what Nicole and Paris were hoping to find at the bbq". I am still giggling over everyone standing there with long pauses in conversation.

i heard today there's gonna be a part 2....can't imagine where they'll put them next. assembly line in a factory? cashier at wal-mart? soup kitchen? personally, i'd like to see them work at an inner city elementary school.....geographically not far from home, yet still light years apart.

One final thought also comes to mind:

When Paris was in the barn she said, "I'm never eating hamburger again!"

I had to laugh. The exact same statement got Oprah into deep trouble years ago. I wonder what all the beef producers thought of Paris and if a law suit will be coming her way soon. (I doubt it, but how hysterically funny would it be if it did.)

i don't think she ever HAS eaten a hamburger in her life....notice she didn't offer to give up filet mignon, though i doubt she knows where that comes from.

It comes from the store! Duh! Oh...wait...no. It comes from the kitchen on a big silver platter :) Yep, I love this show.

This show has very poor editing - perhaps out of necessity. One prime example is the milk bottling "sequence" - where the positioning of the bottles at various times throughout the scene exposes its "reality".

I think it is partialy scripted but not all. Like when the guys came over for a bar-b-q, they were all standing around not knowing what to say to these two women. I know they look like girls and act like girls but aren't they both 22?
I thought it was funny that they got fired from their first job.

Oh it's just that I've never seen anyone wear Wranglers except when they are in costume or something. But like I said, I've only lived in Philadelphia and Los Angeles....I guess I don't have any idea about things in the flyover at all.

I just thought maybe the jeans were as scripted as the rest of the show.

Dropping by to add my two cents - I also love this show - I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the preview to next weeks show where the "girls" are dressed up & working at Sonic LMAO I was totally cracking up at that manager girl reading the sign they put up about 1/2 off anal burgers or something close to that & then saying "ya all better get right back up there & change that!!!" LOLOL What a funny show - scripted or not.

I also agree on the toddler - he is a darling - what a funny little guy he is.

I loved the preview to next weeks show! I can't wait! Wasn't there also something about wieners on the sign? I would assume they get fired on the first day there too. I am still laughing about tinker bell and the slide.....
