List of The Simple Life episodes

Paris.

The pilot featured Paris and Nicole being driven via limousine from their home in L.A to suburbia, to work at a dog grooming business called Chris' K9 Clippery. Tasks assigned to the girls mainly included washing dogs, something the girls had a lot more trouble with then they thought they would. Customers on the phone got hung up on while making bookings, and dogs nearly escaped, running out the front door!
The pilot episode ran for eight minutes and was not shown on television. It was however presented on The Simple Life Season 1 DVD as "Simple Life - Test Presentation"

Touching down in Altus, Arkansas, the girls are subject to much culture shock, as they drive a pick-up truck left for them to the Leding family farm. After being introduced to the family, the girls are shown their living quaters, including a well in the middle of their floor.
The girls are then sent grocery shopping, and it seems as though they've never done it before in their life. Upon arriving back at the farm, they refuse to help prepare dinner, which included plucking chickens. When dinner is finally served, Nicole asks if the family ever go to Wal-Mart, to which Paris' famous phrase is uttered; "What is Wal-Mart? Do they sell wall stuff?"
Before bed, Albert, father of the household makes it clear the girls are expected to help with household chores and their curfew is midnight.

The girls' tasks included waking up the cows in the morning, hearding the cows, milking the cows, bottling the milk, washing the barn and filling up the troughs -- none of which the girls excelled at, preferring to take advantage of Danny's hot tub, before promptly getting fired.
That night the girls attempt to fit in with some of the local residents at a barbecue, but find it hard to relate to their way of life. At 12.45am the girls sneak out, and drive to a club ignoring the family rules set out for them.

Soon after, the girls secure a new job at a fast-food restaurant called Sonic Burger. Showing up 45 minutes late, the girls tasks included cooking food, serving customers and taking out trash.
But perhaps the girls most memorable task was changing the text on the marquee sign out front, in which the girls were asked to spell out "Half Price Burgers All Day" and instead spelled out "Half Price Anal Salty Weiner Bugers". As punishment the girls had to dress up in the Sonic mascot costumes and stand out front. The girls became bored quickly and walked across the street to the supermarket (still in costume) where they caused further trouble.
After getting fired, Albert gives the girls a stern word, pointing out how their actions reflect on the family. Unphased, the girls sneak out again that night, dancing the night away at a club.

Curly, the grandmother in the family, helps Paris and Nicole bake pies from scratch to enter in the pie contest. The next day unfortunately, due to the car not starting, the girls accidentally leave the pies on the porch while trying to organize alternative transport, and the pies are eaten by the family dog.
Once at the Gala, the girls spend more time drinking at the bar then participating in the festival; Mayor Post having to chase after them most of the day. The girls eventually settled for working behind the kissing booth, which they also managed to turn totally upside-down, from the girls making the local boys kiss each other to the boys kissing Nicole's rear-end!
The girls' skimpy outfits and controversial attitudes struck the wrong nerve with a lot of the residents, and the idea to help the town warm up to the girls backfired for the most part.

It isn't long before Kent finds out what they did, much to Janet's disappointment. As punishment, he has the girls do a pregnancy test on 100 head of cattle, which literally involved Nicole having to stick her arm inside the cow and feel for a calf, much to their disgust. Of course the girls were not welcomed back to the Live Stock Auction.

The girls get a job at the only really major gas station in Altus later that day, and make sure their boss Buffy know that it's their favuorite job so far; mainly due to the fact that they could spend a majority of the day checking out the boys who came in. Soon after, the girls find a boy they particularly like each, Nicole being partial to Buffy's nephew, Anthony, and Paris finding herself infatuated with a boy named Trey, who Nicole nicknamed "Chops" due to his beautiful smile. The girls successfully kept the job, Buffy welcoming them back to work with him anytime.
Despite Albert's repeated house rules, the girls break curfew to flirt with the boys - even making empty promises and offering them trips to California. Janet makes it as clear as possible that what they're doing is wrong; but this does not phase them at all, continuing to spend most of their time with the boys.
With only a fews days left, the Leding's get's very concerned about the trail of trouble the girls are leaving behind, especially when Nicole ruins a pool table with bleach at the bar, when she loses her temper, after her purse is stolen.
This episode also marks the first time in the series that Paris and Nicole sing their famous nonsense song "Salsa".

The next day, Nicole realizes what she's done after some stern words from Albert, and agrees to applogize to Shannon, owner of the bar. Apology accepted, Mayor Post arranges to send them a bill for the debts they racked up while in Altus, totalling about $695. Knowing the time has come to leave the next day, they spend the rest of the day saying goodbye to the people they met, the friends they made and their makeshift boyfriends.
The girls also proove how far they've come when they realize they are able to go so far as to collect road kill straight off the road. After tearful goodbyes and promises to meet up again, the girls pack up all their Louis Vuitton again, stock up the Taxi, and are taken back the private jet; homeward bound.

With nowhere to stay along the way but trailer parks and with families they meet, the girls will have to borrow money off complete strangers or actually try working for a living again.
After begging for money to get past the border and fill up the gas tank, their first stop is The Batten family ranch, where the girls will prepare to take part in a rodeo show that evening. Unfortunately, things don't go to plan. Paris is thrown off her horse and must be airlifted to a trauma center. After a speedy recovery, and some gifts from the Battens, the girls are back on the road.

The girls then stay the night at a trailer park for the first time in their young lives, with Paris almost setting fire to the airstream by putting a metal pot in the microwave.
The next morning, after Paris nearly manages to lose Tinkerbell and the girls share breakfast with their neighbours, they drive into work at Weeki Wachee Springs, Florida's famous mermaid water park. The girls try their best at training to make a splash as a show mermaid and turtle. During lunch, one of the mermaid actress's asks if the girls would like to babysit her daughter Kayla for the night.
The girls night with Kayla nearly takes a turn for the worse when Kayla disappears during a game of Hide and seek, only to thankfully appear when her parents arrive to pick her up.
The next day, Paris and Nicole are disappointed when they are told they will not be able to take part in the mermaid show, despite their hard training the day before. This doesn't stop the girls from partying the night away with the other mermaid actress's at Coyote Ugly before taking it to the road again.

That night, the girls pull into another trailer park, and are surprised when a local resident informs the girls they are at a nudist colony called Caliente. The next morning, the girls are suject to more culture shock then they can handle when they realize they are the only people wearing clothes.
Hired as maids for the motel area of the resort, the girls have trouble following rules and end up posing as residents and calling another maid to do a room for them, taking the credit. The girls later contribute to a body acceptance class, much to shocked reactions from the residents.
The girls learn quickly that the nudists are fun people for the most part, and end up partying up with them at disco before once again hitting the road.

The Skinner's find work for the two at Rene's, a local butcher. The girls are shown how to make sausages, but of course are less then stellar at making them, making more mess then sausages. The girls then have to sell the sausages to people driving by, and successfully manage to sell all the stock. The girls also make some sausages to take back to the Skinners', and make a special sausage filled with dogfood just for James. Unfortunately for him, he has no clue, gleefully biting into the sausage as the girls drive off.

Outraged, the family tell Paris, Nicole and Jenny to return most of what they bought, allowing Jenny to keep one dress and a make-up kit, before Paris and Nicole head off to their next job down at the river.
The girls job will be to catch several full sacks of crawfish, much to their disgust, and of course they catch only a small amount of what was expected. That night during a barbecue, Paris manages to steal several pounds of cooked crawfish and take them home in a purse. The next day, the girls plan to use the cooked crawfish in place for crawfish they actually caught themselves works like a charm, with the buyer not able to to tell the difference.
That night, the girls help Jenny perfect her date. Habing a lot of fun, going so far as to take the boat out and go frogging, and Jenny's date Matthew is clearly smitten by her. Their work here is done, and Paris and Nicole hit the road again.

They return home for dinner, and continue to be estranged by the weirdness of the family. Despite this, they take the boys out, but find there isn't much to do in town, and the local girls aren't very interesting.
The next day, the girls finally get to work, including feeding the chickens and sheep. The girls finish up for the day, and drive off with the extension cord still plugged into the trailer, dragging along the road behind them.

The next day they go to work for a Minor Leuge Baseball called the Round Rock Express at the Dell Diamond. The girls tasks included helping the team train in the morning, but Nicole preferred to mess around and flirt with the players.
That night during the game, Paris and Nicole start off by helping at the canteen and then later they brought themselves to field where they managed to cause more trouble then help. They flirted with the players and let their dogs run all around the field, much to the annoyance of the fans trying to enjoy the game. Eventually as the spectators got more hostile, the girls ran back to the truck and drove off.

The next day the girls get jobs at Lonny's Beauty Salon. The girls first task was a back wax for a rather sensitive man. The girls aren't exactly gentle, and he ends up screaming his lungs out. The girls then give a woman an unusual make-over, with her after arguably appearing worse then her before.
Despite the obvious problems, their boss Jesse still pays them and welcomes them back anytime. The girls were silly enough to spend their entrie pay on The Clapper for the trailer, as they got sick of getting up to turn off the lights every night.

The next days the girls get jobs as deputy sheriffs. Their first task is to serve lunch to the prisoners in the jail, in which Nicole can't help but flirt. Later, when given a patrol car, they naturally abuse their position, constantly citing people for bogus offenses.
Later that night, the romantic dinner goes ahead smoothly, but before the girls leave, they suggestively leave behind a pair of handcuffs in one last effort to help boost the romance.

The girls agree to work on the ranch, and help heard the cattle three miles down the road to where they will be collected. Paris overcomes her fear of horses following her accident eariler in the season, and the journey begins. The girls show their care for animals by refusing to brand the cattle with hot pokers, preferring to draw on the cattle with their make-up.
When the girls discover the cattle will be picked up by a truck and taken for slaughter, they vow to protect a favoured cow the girls named Bill, offering their pay plus interest in exchange for his life.
The girls then drive home back to L.A., where they have a wild party with friends and family to celebrate their arrival home.
Soon after, Bill the Bull is delivered to the Hilton mansion, and after signing for him, he bucks Paris in the stomach with his horn. "We've gotta keep Paris away from the animals" Nicole said between chuckles.

After a $50,000 shopping spree and partying the night away in New York City, Paris and Nicole wake up the next morning in Paris's penthouse at the Soho Grand Hotel, only to be informed by their butler, Mr. Barker, that it's once again time to pack up their Louis Vuitton luggage and give up their cellphones and credit cards. He hands them each a bus ticket, and the girls wait outside, as a greyhound bus pulls up, and the girls board, ready to live the Simple Life once more.
The bus pulls up in Bayone, New Jersey, where they are welcomed by the Brower family. The girls get to know the Browers, as Joyce, mother of the family, infroms the girls that she her dog recently died. Paris decides they should get her a new dog to cheer her up, calling a breeder before heading to bed.
The next day the girls begin their first intersnhip at an auto repair shop called the Quality Auto-Centre, two hours late. At first the girls give a good effort, mainly doing a good job at everything they're asked to do. It isn't long before something goes wrong. When asked to drive a police car into the garage, the girls instead drive off to a mini-mall to buy beauty supplies! They are caught and brought back, but are given a hefty warning. They stop by the breeder on their way home to pick up the new dog for Joyce, but find she only breeds Great Danes. The girls decide to not only get one, but two (costing $2,000 each), shocking Joyce, who isn't sure whether to be thankful or angry.
The next morning the girls find themselves back for day two of their internship. Of course, the girls manage to mess it up again, crashing two customers' cars! Their boss hands them each $20, and says he's only doing this so they get on the next bus and get out of town. The girls oblige, that evening, heading off to their next family and internship, while the breeder of the Great Danes shows up at the Browers' house, saying the girls arranged for Joyce to pay the $4,000 for the dogs, Joyce sadly having to return them.

The girls first assignment is sorting the mail and putting them in the appropriete mailboxes. Not much sorting takes place, with the girls putting letters and deliveries all around the office in random places. The girls then attempt being the senior partners' PA's, with varied degrees of success. The girls head home, where the Zuccaro's give the girls some martial arts lessons. The girls notice that the dojo has no sign out front and know they can help with that.
The girls take the ferry back to the city the next morning for day two of their internship, arriving two hours late. The girls' first assignment is catering; picking up lunch for their co-workers from the sandwich bar across the street. Deciding they're hungry, they eat the food intended for their co-workers instead, and "accidentally" drop the rest on the street outside. They are then assigned to a much simpler job; using the Xerox, but manage to even mess this up, with Nicole copying her breasts and pinning up the print around the office.
The girls' evaluation then takes place. Mailroom: F. Photcopying: F. Despite this, the bosses thought they did great as PA's, and are awarded an A, hence paid for their full internship.
To raise money to buy a sign for the dojo, they charge admission for the neighbourhood residents to show off their newly learned Martial Arts moves. The next morning, the girls board the bus, and the Zuccaro's are surprised to see a sign saying "Lew's Kickass Dojo" out the front, despite the fact their fathers' name is spelt as "Lou".
