I can't wait! I just hope it is still good.

The Restaurant went way down hill on its second series.

puddin:
If anyone missed the two first episodes..heres a recap  ;)

EPISODE 1
They once survived living on a farm in Arkansas. Paris and Nicole are back! This time they are challenged to cross the United States, from Miami Beach to Beverly Hills, with nothing but the kindness of strangers. They are stripped of all money and credit cards, and they can only stay in trailer parks or other families' homes. Can they do it?

First, a shopping detour in Miami with the dogs. Many $400 shoes and multiple $2,000 outfits. But before they can hit another store, the girls find out that their road trip is starting earlier than they expected. A pink pickup towing an Airstream trailer pulls up. "Shut the f&%$ up," Nicole exclaims. Yes, honey, this is your home for a long while. They turn in their cell phones, credit cards and cash.

They drive off from Miami with 3000 miles to go before this road trip is completed. At the first highway entrance, they beg the toll booth operator to front them the 75 cents. Cars honk from behind. Nicole gets out and begs other motorists for money. Oddly, these normal people pay up. "This is going to be easier than I thought to get across country," Paris boasts.

The truck's gas indicator starts beeping. Paris pulls over to a gas station and she and Nicole beg people for money. They are successful not just with horny men, but with women. Paris and Nicole could be street walkers! Nicole steals food from the quickie mart, and when she's caught, she offers to work for the owner. With gas money in hand, Paris doesn't know how to maneuver the truck to the pump.

The first stop on this road trip (and the first paying job) is at the Batten Ranch, home of the Bull-It Rodeo. The Batten family is eager to have the girls work the rodeo. Paris and Nicole say they are both proficient riders, but all they are interested in is the horse fashion. The first task is to clean the arena of manure. Paris shovels, but they cover most of the piles up with dirt. Now it's horse time. Nicole seems more comfortable in her saddle than Paris. But Paris is undeterred. "I wanna go really fast," she tells the Batten boys. As she kicks the horse into gear, she doesn't even realize that she is supposed to hold the reins. The horse obediently gallops, and Paris falls off. She moans and whines. But she also sends out for backup. A helicopter flies in to airlift her to a Tampa emergency room.

At the hospital, the paparazzi stakes out the doors. Our little Paris and her little boo-boo have become front page news. She emerges from the hospital like a wounded war veteran. "I've been riding horses my whole life and this has never happened to me before," she says through her pain to the reporters. With just a few minor bruises, Paris is fine.

Back at Batten, J.O. the head rancher feels bad about what happened. He treats the girls to ice cream at a place up the road. The girls want to go in the gift store and pick out gifts for themselves. "How bad are you hurtin'?" J.O. asks. Paris purses her lips and shows the black and blue mark on her leg. J.O.'s a gentleman and agrees to foot the $113.56 bill for their silly purchases. Now J.O. feels bad for himself for getting duped. Don't worry, pardner. Many other men have paid more. The girls get J.O. to show them his chaps -- without pants. Looks like getting men to strip is one job Nicole and Paris are good at.

Time to leave the ranch.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EPISODE 2
Are we still in Florida? Apparently so, because the girls get pulled over in Tampa by a cop. Paris doesn't have her driver's license on her. Turns out the blue lights on the truck are actually a second degree misdemeanor and could send her to jail. Paris reapplies makeup just in case she needs to flirt to get out of the ticket. But the policeman lets her go with a warning regardless of the eyeliner.

The girls set up camp in the Brentwood trailer park. The manager of the park informs them that they have no propane and can't cook. Paris puts a metal pot into the microwave. She doesn't understand why it melts and emits a smell when she turns it on. Her mama raised her right. Or was it her personal chef? The next morning, they don't have any other food so they go out to make friends with the trailer neighbors. The girls find a family who feeds them. Guess what's back from last season? The ever-present blurring of the butt crack!

The manager of the park instructs them on how to unhook the Airstream from the truck. Paris and Nicole don't pay attention. The next task is to drive to the Weeki Wachee water park, where they watch a live mermaid show in the water tank. "That was sexual," Nicole observes. The park's marketing manager, Monica, offers to pay them to babysit her daughter that night.
Monica is perplexed when the girls ask how late little Kayla can stay out. Monica forbids them from cursing in front of her daughter. Paris and Nicole do anyway, and try to get the girl to curse too. They dress Kayla up to look like them, complete with makeup and a feather boa. Poor Kayla looks like a midget hooker. As they are playing hide and seek, Paris and Nicole lose Kayla just as her parents come to claim her. Monica is stunned that they have lost her daughter in the dark woods. But Kayla is hiding inside the trailer. "Bye, gorgeous," Kayla says, mimicking her babysitters. Monica pays them for their troubles. "Ten f*%#ing dollars!" Nicole says.

The next day at Weeki Wachee, Nicole dresses as Chester the Sea Turtle while Paris plays a mermaid. Paris does well in the swim test. Nicole has more problems in the bulky turtle suit. But after all that "hard work," the girls don't pass muster to make it into the mermaid show. How do they soothe their sad hearts? Dance on top of the bar at Coyote Ugly!

Next, the girls are headed to a nudist colony.

Nudist resort residents get their 'Simple Life' moment

Caliente resident Storm, left, who gave only one name, and guest services manager Sabrina Vizzari watch The Simple Life 2 at the Caliente nudist resort in Land O'Lakes on Wednesday. The episode was filmed at the resort in March.
LAND O'LAKES - The naked and half-clothed residents of Caliente nudist resort aren't bashful. But appearing on national TV is another matter.

There was John Mitchell, Navy veteran and nudist, peering at his pantsless self on WTVT- Ch. 13, a star for the day on The Simple Life 2.

"This is it, yeah!" Mitchell said as the show's two stars, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, mingled with him on the screen.

Ulysses Bruce had a similar reaction as Richie, joining him in a "body acceptance" seminar at Caliente, saw the blond celebutante admiring his abdomen on screen.

"You're a star!" Bruce's friend yelled.

"Yeah, right," Bruce said.

Everyone involved in the show when it taped in March wore hot pink Simple Life 2 T-shirts or white "I survived The Simple Life 2."

Based on interviews with the likes of David Letterman, Caliente folk feared Richie and Hilton would belittle them. Most rested easy after the show clicked off at 9:30 p.m.

"It was all done for fun. We don't mind. We're all comfortable with ourselves," said Carole Van Dusen, whose naked form appeared on the show.

Amid the bubbling glass palm trees, swizzle sticks, pink balloons and jiggling ice, a few Caliente nightclubbers gave the show a thumbs down.

Zhenya Nichols said the show used Caliente as a cheap backdrop. "For teenagers, everyone over 30 is dead. We are Jurassic for them," Nichols said. But Bruce, Mitchell and others said they enjoyed their brief stint in the limelight. Hilton promised to visit again, without the cameras. And maybe she will.

"They edited a lot of stuff," Bruce said as the dance floor cranked up with naked bodies. "But it was cool."

EPISODE 3
Hunger pains hit on the highway, so the girls pull into the Burger King drive-thru. However, the Airstream is too big to fit through the overhead clearance. Paris just parks it as the other motorists honk in the stalled drive-thru line. With no money, the girls have a plan to get free food. They go inside and order up tons of food. Paris goes back to the car to get "money" as Nicole feasts away. Paris returns to the counter with only some change. Nicole goes back to the car as Paris nibbles. But this backfires when the store manager demands payment. The poor little rich girls are forced to hit up all the men in the restaurant for money. They walk out, proud of themselves for succeeding in another scam. They don't realize that they've left the car keys at the counter.

Back on the road, the girls make their way up the Florida panhandle headed towards something called "Caliente." They arrive to find out that it's a nudist colony. The sight of all these naked people grosses them out. We viewers are treated to happy, smiling faces covering the obscene body parts. After showering in one of the guest's houses, Paris and Nicole show up for work almost two hours late. Their new boss instructs them not to stare or laugh at guests of the resort. Little does he know they never follow orders. What's their actual job? Chambermaids. First they have to shorten their uniforms to comply with their usual, everyday attire.

It's time to see an actual chamber. Instructed by the head maid not to touch personal belongings, Paris and Nicole ignore authority and do just that. As maids, they are supposed to scrub toilets. But as Paris and Nicole, they let out squeals of nausea instead. Then it's onto the next room, where they make more of a mess than was there already. They brew some coffee and eat the person's candy. Time for a break! The head maid barks at them to get back to work.

In the next room, they take the owner's cell phone and order food from room service. With the room in shambles, they call up for a maid to clean the room. Paris and Nicole eat while she tidies the room. They tell her to put a big tip for herself on "their account." The head maid lady sees the room and commends them on the cleaning.

Then the girls are sent to a body acceptance class. Do these people know who they're dealing with? You don't get into gossip columns for hating your body! Not surprisingly, the girls announce to everyone in the class that they love themselves. Paris particularly likes her stomach and her lips and her face and her arms and her legs. Then the class is asked to write a poem about how they feel. Paris is a regular Walt Whitman. "Everyone loves their bodies because they're all hotties," she writes. Yet Nicole is more R-rated. "I support places where you can show parts from which you pee," hers reads. "Shake your willy, let's get silly!" she ends. The teacher thinks the girls have the essence of what being a nudist is all about.

That night, it's party central at the disco. Nude "YMCA" for everyone! But the girls are the only ones dressed. "This is hot," Paris drones.

2392 miles to go after the stay in Caliente! Let's hope none of those miles are nude.

Bathfizzy:
Thanks for posting these Puddin.  I have not watched tv for awhile as the weather here is so nice that we have been bike riding alot after dinner and it stays light until almost 10 so I lose track of time.  I hope they show repeats of these shows so I can see them.  I loved the simple life from last season and it sounds like this season is just as funny.  Those girls are so bad!!!!!
