Fox's The Simple Life
I've been hearing about this show, Fox's The Simple Life, for quite a while, and I accidentally found it and watched it this evening.
It was suprisingly good. The premise is that you take two 20-year-old girls who have never worked a day in their lives because their parents are multi-millionaires. All they do in their lives is to shop and go to night clubs.
You take them for 30 days to a tiny farming community where they live with a farmer and his family, and you put them through various jobs. I just saw them get fired after their first day on the job with a dairy farmer.
Anyone else see this?

I saw some excerpts from the show this morning. It's hard to believe someone could be that "sheltered". Especially when they didn't know what Walmart was. Even if you don't shop there, it's still the largest retailer in the world. Some parts may be a little exaggerated.

I liked how strict and hardworking the dads are. Most TV shows make dads out to be total morons. These dads on the farms are running things.

I like the show, but it sure is a warmed over version of farm life in South Dakota.
Where's the square bales?
Their pickup looks like a Caddy (hey at least its a Ford) compared to any Farm truck I've ever seen. Where's the baling twine holding the doors and hood shut on this truck?
The PG'ing part (maybe it was A.I.'ing)was cool, that's pretty much how it goes.....LOL!
Where's the manure shoveling? Maybe i missed it so far....
I'd like to see them get sent out and put up new fence line... that would be funny!
I wonder how many times the camera men bailed those gals out when their truck died, got a flat, ect?

Did you see them complain about the pay they did recieve for their work. If it could be called that they had to have spilled about 2-3 gallons and how many containers did they break. $45 a piece the guy said they were there 9hrs and he got about 6hrs of work. Sounds like decent wages to me. Course when your dad's a millionaire/billionaire/whatever.

I wonder what year that truck was built? And what model? F150?

they show seems funny when paris can't drive a damn automatic. Everyone knows wal mart and they should know the word generic for crying out loud. The show is a joke. They should stick to shopping and spending daddys money. Paris Hilton is a model and has her own jewelry collection and she and her sister sell purses to the japanese like hotcakes. I saw on tv before when the girls were on motorcycle had an award show and the both fell off while trying to drive one. It was funny.
EDIT:
and if i was the one kid i would explore the ideas of the 3 some with the girls!

Maybe you can tell me -- what was up with the dairy farmer making all kinds of cracks about the girls' makeup and perfume? He said something to the effect that the cow s*** on Nicole's arm was better than the makeup on her face.
Is that a common attitude where you live?
