HOW do you end up with a 22/23 dollar food bill in McDonald's? You can buy enough food for four people for half of that!! I was astonished! That is a LOT of McDonald's!!

PARIS & NICOLE: HOT OR HORRIBLE HOUSEGUESTS? Paris and Nicole In March, The Simple Life 2's Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie spent one fun-filled week on J.O. Batten's 40-acre farm in Florida. Unlike last season, when they bunked on the Leding family porch, the girls shared a spare bedroom in the cozy home that Batton shares with his 26-year-old son Travis and daughter-in-law Aimee. Everyone shared one bathroom. Cowboy Batten, 57, clearly enjoyed his time with the girls, who even talked him into trying on his chaps with nothing on underneath: "I'm in pretty good shape," he says. "We were discussing my tight buns. They liked 'em." Here's how J.O. rates his houseguests, from 1 (dreadful) to 10 (dynamite): 9 CLEANLINESS "They were very clean. The only mess I saw was in their trailer," says J.O. of the girls' Airstream, which was parked in his front yard. "They used it as a dressing and make-up room." 8 SHARING "No problem sharing a bathroom with them," says Batten. "They didn't have to get up as early as us. The girls were pretty quick in the mornings -- probably less than 10 minutes." 8 EATING HABITS "They don't eat a lot, but they eat healthy. I took them for ice cream once. They had some Mexican food. Paris wasn't into fast food. She would eat ham sandwiches." 10 ATTRACTIVENESS "Both are very good-looking girls. They're pretty close to a 10, if there is such a thing." 10 FASHION SENSE "They had real nice dresses, little neon handbags and sandals, everything. They also had appropriate dress for when we needed to work on the farm." 4 FLIRTING "I'm more flirtatious than they are. They really didn't flirt." 10 FRUGALITY "I gave them some money to buy groceries from a mom and pop store. I gave them $50 and they came back with enough food for six people. They were very good at spending my money." 10 POPULARITY "Everybody loved them. We sometimes have a rodeo in the backyard, and normally 300 to 400 people show up. But on that night it was like 1,500 people." 10 PROMPTNESS "If they had a schedule, they stuck to it. They were always on time." 10 WORK ETHIC "I put them to work feeding our bulls, repairing fences, etc. You may have to explain something, but you can put them to work anywhere." 7 STRENGTH "It didn't look like they could lift a 50-pound feed bag." 3 PAIN TOLERANCE "Paris' is very, very low. Nicole didn't do anything to get hurt." 8 INTELLIGENCE "Neither one of them is dumb. Both are relatively intelligent girls." 5 MATURITY "For [Paris, 23 and Nicole, 22], they've got average maturity." 10 MANNERS "They were as nice as could be. They like to have fun. Paris is not quite as gregarious as } Nicole. Nicole always gets things started. I didn't see her when she didn't have a smile on her face. She was always wanting to help. Those are two fantastic girls." -- WENDY JENSON & JASON MCINTYRE - STAR

Good article. The show goes so fast. I wonder how much time they did spend at J.O.'s place. It sounds like he spent quit a bit of time with them. Now I can see why he was buying them things,he really liked them. I thought he was hilarious.

I totally, completely love Paris and especially Nicole after tonight. When Nic told off that young gentleman, I was so happy I cheered her. OK....now quite, but almost. Paris looked especially lovely tonight. Such great skin and expressive eyes. I loved when she said to Nicole, after Nic has spit out the piece of meat, "that's so not hot." LOL.

LOL'd at the sausage making. It was even splattered on the walls. And Nic's words at the end (after giving James the dog food sausage) - what did we learn? We learned you don't f*** with Nicole! LOL

I thought Paris looked great also. Nic is too funny, a little mean at times, but funny. When that boy was comming to get her I thought 'don't do it, you'll be sorry!' LOL

I think this show is so funny. I love it. How can these people around the country not know that they will have a mess to clean up behind them lol. TOo funny. I wanted to hear the comment if James liked the sausage or not. I still don't think that last weeks show (with them pigging out in a room and having the maid come and clean it for them) will be topped soon but I will still keep watching

Tish, you were too kind in calling him a gentleman, another term comes to my mind! LOL Paris looked gorgeous during the fireman photo shoot and knew exactly how to pose. How tall are she and Nicole?

Last night's show was filmed in my parish. While it was entertaining, let me just say without a doubt, it is VERY SCRIPTED. There is no way anyone from here, much less their dog, would ever confuse a boiled crawfish with a live crawfish. I actually know the family that they stayed with! I'm anxious to hear what they think of Nicole and Paris's comment at the end referring to their daughter being knocked up in six months.

Ddr, I thought that remark was really regretable and I'm sorry Fox thought it was appropriate to leave in. I'm very disappointed. She seemed like a very sweet girl and a vulgar remark like that was totally inappropriate and had to hurt her and her family. I didn't find it funny at all. Then to the crawfish, I didn't get the impression that the buyer was fooled for a minute. I also thought the boy that took them out was very sweet and I doubt he was so "wowwed" by the false compliments that he didn't see what was going on. He wasn't any dummy. I think those people got a bad rap.

I was honestly amazed by the accent on the show last night. I'd really never heard that accent before and I was totally fascinated by it, trying to figure out what made it so distinctive. I liked it, BTW. But I have only gone to N.O. and they don't have that accent there. I loved when Nic and Paris made up the young lady in the family. They made her look so pretty and I LOVED it when they taught her to walk in her heels! She almost got good at it thanks to Paris, who has a great walk. And that poor boy she went on the date with just didn't want to say anything at all! I liked the guy on the boat with whom they went out. He was kinda cute. I just wish Nic had made more serious moves on him, like they did to those boys in Arkansas last year. That was my favorite part of the show--them flirting with men of all ages, shapes, and sizes. Heehee. I think next week's show is going to be AMAZING!

Tish, you'll love hearing me speak then! LOL. Most people who live in Henderson (the little town they filmed in) have a particularly heavy Cajun accent. I live about 8 miles away from there and the accent is nearly as "heavy" as what they showed last night. As to where the accent comes from, most people usually only spoke Cajun French up until the 1940's or so. My grandmother still "thinks" in French, lol.

At the Television Critics' Association presentation for first The Simple Life, they all but admitted that this show is stage-managed and scripted. [As an example, Paris gave an anecdote about how, for the first season, she went out and bought overalls and boots for the farm, and the producers told her she couldn't wear that -- and dressed her and Nicole in the short, skimpy skirts and heels.] Ever since I read the transcript from that TCA session (with all the other examples they gave), I decided the show wasn't worth my time. So why didn't the critics write about this? The answer is that some actually did ... but most were convinced, I think, by the producers' assertions that this level of "scripting" didn't matter because Paris and Nicole's "reactions" to these admittedly contrived experiences were real. And that the show was fun and frivolous, and didn't need a journalistic "expose." Here's a more recent clip from this season that dances around this issue as well (in the part about the Skinners and their contract): http://www.sunherald.com/mld/thesunherald/living/9071232.htm

I figured that once Paris had closed the bag in the boat that the crawfish were in that they didn't even look inside til Paris & Nic were driving off. Parish put it up on the weighing scale but no one opened it then. lol, I think Paris rose to the occasion and pulled one of Nic's tricks.

I just hate to think about the price of those purses that she used to hide the crawfish! I am sure she tossed them in the trash. I love the show, but does anyone else feel sorry for the way the show ridicules the families that they have stayed with? Have there been any interviews with the families after the show about how they were edited? Ddr, I was in Louisiana last year and went on a wonderful Cajun tour and loved every minute of hearing everyone talk and the fact that the men do the majority of the cooking in the family! I wanted to leave my DH down there for training

These girls are so ridiculous it makes them funny. My DH doesn't watch the show but was watching a rerun last weekend of the show where they were camping and "lost" the little girl. He was laughing at them. My DS (16) said after it was over... "But they never get in trouble for what they do! They always get away with it." (He doesn't think much of them, btw!) We told him that was TELEVISION! I liked the part w/the BB players. I thought they could have been a lot more respectful with the family. It seemed like Paris was at least trying. Nicole needs to learn to control herself, but then again, she's probably told not to!

I love them even more after tonight! How great were they with the baseball team! And how great of them to try to loosen up that up-tight family! For Pete's sake...Paris and Nic should have brought a case of Fleet enemas along with them to get rid of their constipation.

I thought they were very rude to that family, who were being nice. I am going to quit watching. Its juvenile & repetitive. It reminds me of a baby in a stroller, throwing its toys out over & over & over. I also did not approve of Nichole kicking the BB player in the groin.

Well, Potted, I gotta agree with you. I did not like this week's show. Maybe it is all just growing a little old but in the beginning it was kind of fun watching them try to adjust to certain circumstances (albeit staged) but now it just seems to be a platform for Nicole to once again act outlandish, inappropriate and vulgar and we are supposed to think it is cute and entertaining. I'm not impressed or amused.
