MONDO EXTRAS

And now it's time to bring out Paris and Nicole! I don't know why I just used an exclamation point. Leeza is rubbing off on me. Paris and Nicole drive a pink pick-up, which may or may not be the same one they drove around Altus. Paris and Tinkerbell and Nicole head to the stage. After greeting Leeza, they have big hugs for the whole Leding family, and finally sit down. Leeza asks the audience to give Paris and Nicole an Arkansas welcome, and they do that hog-calling cheer without very much enthusiasm. Shut up, Leeza. God, she is annoying. Leeza thinks that shows that the townspeople really embraced the girls. Or that they are good at following directions in order to get on camera. Kind of like Paris and Nicole! Leeza asks how it is to see the Ledings again. Nicole says it's crazy, because she hasn't seen them in so long, and it's like not seeing your family for six months. Leeza shows her big brains by pointing out that Braxton must be much bigger now, and then tells Braxton that he stole the show.

Leeza says that they all have a lot of questions, but that they should start with something basic. Leeza claims that producers came to Paris with a lot of ideas to do shows about being glamorous and a socialite, but that Paris decided to go to a farm. Yeah, I'm so sure it was totally Paris's idea. Paris thought it would be something different, and something she'd never experience otherwise. Leeza says that it worked, because America loves the show. They do? Or do they love to hate it? Leeza asks what their parents thought of the show. Nicole says that her parents loved it and thought it was funny. Nicole says that her parents didn't believe some of the stuff she did until they saw it on the show. Leeza says that Paris's parents must be proud, and Paris agrees that they are. I have no words for that one. "Wow, our daughter actually went to a farm and whined and complained and pouted and preened the whole time, and was unable to hold down a job for more than a day!" Leeza is impressed that Paris and Nicole have been friends for so long, like, why is that an accomplishment? They show a photo of the girls dressed up as maids. They are cute. Paris says that they used to dress up all the time, and that they wanted to grow up and be housekeepers. Ha ha! Manual labor! Minimum wage! That's hilarious.
