Funnier still was her sitting around the table telling the ladies that they should make the quilts a little “edgier.” I believe her recommendation was to pepper the quilt with cigarette burns.
I think the problem is that the girls, maybe especially Nicole, are just bad improvisors. I can see the director saying, “Ok, say something funny about the quilts” and Nicole struggling to think of something remotely clever to say.
I was surprised that I liked Paris. Before the show started, I thought Nicole was the nicer of the two, but I was wrong. Nicole was so much worse. Her attention-seeking behavior was completely out of line. Paris wasn’t so much better, but she at least seemed concerned about the family and not making a complete fool of herself.
When Nicole dumped that bleach on the pool table, you could see that Paris was kind of embarassed. She doesn’t seem the type to pull that kind of stunt.
I do feel sympathy for both of them. It’s obvious they grew up with no real rules or consequences. They may have made themselves look bad, but I think the parents are the ones who should be ashamed. Without rules, any kid will run wild. It isn’t their fault that they had no structure growing up. Maybe living with the Ledings taught them something about what it’s like to grow up with parents who care.
I watched a couple episodes because it was on after '70s Show. I would let the machine run, then, while editing, think, “Ah what the hell” and run through it once before deleting.
One thing I noticed, going mostly on the episode that was broadcast 1/13/04, is that it you never saw P&N socializing with other young women. In fact, they hardly ever interacted with other females at all: just Mom Leding, their boss at Sonic, and the bartender or whatever she was. 'Course, I don’t know what might have been on other episodes, or what didn’t get on camera. But it seems that all the non-work, non-Leding-home activity involved P&N trying to get young men all hot and bothered.
Now of course I realize that in a town that small, any new girl is going to get attention from guys. If there are two of them, that’ll be twice the amount of attention. If one of them constantly has her butt hanging out of her pants, that’ll be ten times the amount. If they have a camera crew with them, that’ll be twenty times.
But it seems that the whole thing was shot and edited to give the impression that these guys had never seen a pretty girl before, and that those two, who IMO are far from all that, sent them into Pepe Le Pewesque convulsions, with hearts cascading out of their throbbing loins. And I can’t imagine that there wouldn’t be at least one other young woman in Hooterville, or wherever they were, who could offer P&N some competition in the looks department. Maybe several. Maybe all of them are better looking, without having to spend ten grand a week to look like a skank!
Quite honestly, I might have liked this better if the two principals had been just a bit younger, and more concerned with all-around socializing, as opposed to just hitting on everything in pants. It would have been interesting to see two Beverly Hills teens at a slumber party, giving the townies makeovers. Or better yet, encountering last year’s Blueberry Queen, who would say, “I don’t care who you are or where you’re from…nobody sits on MY side of the pizzeria unless I give the okay!”
These two spoiled, self-absorbed, self-seeking, narcissitic bags of vomit dressed in mini-skirts are useless members of the human race. I watched a few episodes and grew so disgusted by their behavior, insincerity, and lack of respect that I quit watching after the second episode or so.
Apparently, some train wrecks are too disastrous to watch.
