Episode #2 6/16/04:

In the opening sequence Paris drives the pink truck with the Streamline trailer and we hear the theme from "Cops" and see flashing lights.  Paris relates to Nicole that she doesn't have her license with her - and of course Nicole doesn't have one at all.  The police officer relates that in Florida its illegal to have blue lights under your vehicle (huh?) - but he lets the girls off with a warning.

After a commercial we watch as the ladies arrive at a trailer park for the night in Florida (Brentwood Trailer Park).  The owner warns the girls to be careful with their dogs because there are ducks around.  He then informs the girls they have no propane so he can't hook up their stove or water heater.  Nicole asks Paris to put a pot of water in the microwave to warm it up.  Yes folks it is a metal pot and for those that don't know you DON'T EVER PUT METAL IN A MICROWAVE.  Yet the producers/cameramen, whomever let Paris do it and we get to see the results - sparks and smoke.  The trailer park owner finally informs them not to put metal in a microwave and they giggle.
 

In the morning, after a short bit on the "killer ducks" and Paris's dog Tinkerbell (nothing actually) - the girls mooch a meal off a family camping nearby. On to the "job" for this episode is to work at a water park where there is underwater shows (Mermaids).  They are shown the routines and Nicole thinks they are rather 'sexual.'  While eating lunch they girls are asked to babysit.  They agree readily and ask what their charge's (Kayla, a 4 or 6 year old little girl) curfew is.  They seem dissapointed to discover that no, she can't go out to the bars with them.  So instead they play dress up with Kayla in their trailer - this is followed by a game of Hide-and-seek where Kayla is lost.  The parents return and we are left waiting for them to find Kayla as the show fades to a commercial.

Suprise surpise - Kayla was in the trailer and not lost - go figgure - I was REALY worried she was lost - all the people involved in shooting the show would have had to miss her and I just don't see that happening.  Kayla's mom gives Paris $10 and they leave - Paris remarks to Nicole that $10 would get one nail manicured - she obviously feels underpaid.

Come morning they return back to the water park to try out for the "Mermaid" show.  Paris is a mermaid and Nicole plays a Sea Turtle.   Paris looked to be a natural in the water - Nicole seemd to be having more difficulties.  The instructors were rather frustrated, one said if she drank she would be getting drunk with the frustration.  Nicole and Paris shower off and then plan a get-together at a local bar with some other Mermaids.

The two instructors inform the girls that they would not be allowed to participate in the show the following day which bums out the girls for a little bit - but they seem to get over it fast enough as later that night Paris is dancing on a bar at some club while hordes of drooling men cheer her on.

Next week:  The girls visit a nudist camp and work as maids at a resort.
