08. The Simple Life

Do you loves it? 2003 was a monumental and genre-defining year for reality television, but there was one show that stood out from the rest: The Simple Life, starring Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. The two socialites lived in Altus, Arkansas for a month and worked (and got fired from) odd jobs to experience "real life." The show made Paris and Nicole household names, and solidified Paris's status as the It Girl of the early aughts. Helen and writer Kirsten King discuss the best moments from The Simple Life Season 1 (all of which, unsurprisingly, are Nicole moments), what The Simple Life would look like today, Paris's outfits on the show, and more.
