Nicole totally seems like she has better manners. She's incredibly polite to everyone. I may be editing but it does seem like the family and townies are being rather mean to them. I think it's probably the producers encouraging it though.
I'm not surprised Paris may have already known what WalMart was, if only because something like 4 of the 10 wealthiest people in the world are WalMart heirs. You know she would have made it her business to find out about it!
We do have WalMart in SoCal. I can't speak for LA though. In SD we only have three or four that I can think of in the entire city. Where as in Virginia Beach (where I used to live) there are 2, on the same street. Only a few miles apart. One is a SuperWalMart. And VA Beach is a fraction of the size! And yes, WalMart was
the place to hang out in high school. It was the only thing open 24/7.
