So, FOX’s new reality show The Simple Life is about halfway through the first episode, and the two socialites from California just got to Altus, Arkansas. Actually, according to the timer, they’ve been in town and off the plane for about 45 minutes, including their drive out to the farm. I must say, this has been a pretty entertaining show so far. I just saw Nicole Richie say, “I knew we were going to live in a sh**hole, but I didn’t know we were going to be on the porch with a fu**ing well!” Too funny. Oh, it’s back on, after a funny Sprint commercial with a frat saying the same lines from the sorority commercial. Nicole and Paris just found out about the sole bathroom in the house, and they’ve just been sent out to a food market to buy, among other things, pigs feet. After being asked about what was next on the list, Paris said, “Bottled water, generic. What’s generic mean?” At the checkout line, they were short, with only $50 for a $65 bill. The cashier says, “No, you can’t just have ‘em. This ain’t a soup kitchen.” To which Paris says, “What does that even mean? A soup kitchen?” Wow! They just tossed a dozen eggs into the back of the truck! And now they’re back at the house trying to get out of helping pluck the newly killed chickens. They are totally annoying their host family, having not helped pluck dinner, and no sitting at the dinner table and not eating. Oh, OK, they’re getting some chuckles. Paris just asked, “What is Wal-Mart? Do they sell wall stuff?” The look of awe on the family’s faces was hilarious! In their room, they were warned about ticks and other bugs. They were also told that they should check each other out to make sure there aren’t any ticks on them in the mornings. After that, they showed the little buggers flying around and stuff, terrifying the girls. But not to fear, the little boy comes in to kill the bugs for them. The host family just laid down the rules of the house, including a curfew, no cussing, asking before taking the car, and working around the house. After that, they asked one of the boys about the night life in the town. As he stepped into the house to grab a jacket, the girls talk about how cute he is, and even joke about having a threesome with him before they leave. That would be too funny, if you ask me. From the previews they are showing, this is going to be one hell of a funny show.
