The Simple Life

Well though this series really brought out all the hidden demons within Paris and Nicole, and made the whole world realize their true trashy/snobby/dimwitted/unbearable personalities, i must admit this is THE BEST REALITY TV SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN. I believed it to be TV's best guiltiest pleasure. Seeing Paris and Nicole willingly slandering their image to an extent that people in the designated village actually yelled "Go home RICH B**CH," was quite the treat. Though some people may believe that this was done for no reason - and it was absolutely worthless - i completely disagree. After seeing this we can OFFICIALLY conclude that Paris Hilton is a 100% spoiled air- head, who can be a very nice person, and Nicole is a sexually frustrated, uncontrollable wild child with an insensitive sense of humour,whose jokes result in an "OH MY GOSH!" reaction rather than a laugh riot. So i must wonder - if each and every celebrity acquires such a sense of personality that no one but their home town can accept? well as for Paris and Nicole let them just enjoy their cash cause besides their looks, that's the only thing theyv'e got.

Edit/ pretty wild was better There really isn't a show better than this. Just like arrested development and always sunny, the show was before it's time. It's cinematic genius couples with amazing storytelling through pure character portraits. Proximate to its premiere date, the rating average really make sense. If America wouod have been proposed this masterpiece prior to dubbed reality tv i.e., flavor of love, bachelor, laguna beach, richie would have Have the upper hand and received the credit she deserved which would have played a big part in longevity with regard to the narrative of season one which clearly was the best season. Better than breaking bad? Yes as it's been proven many times before and will continue to hold up to scrutiny in the future - simple life is the best show of all time. Slept on. Yes.

With a show like this it's hard to tell how much is actual reality and how much are scripted scenerios.

Either way Paris and Nicole come off pretty bad. They're totally rude and condesending to the towns people. They get to run around like retards with no consequences.

These two idiots obviously aren't the representative of what everybody is like in L.A. There's a wide variety of areas and people in Southern California.

Nicole says she's never seen anything like the farm area she was on. I guess she's never traveled up the 5 north. Or been to the Equestrian area in Burbank, just a mile down the road from NBC studios.

Paris surely can't be so dense as to never have heard of Wal-Mart. Granted there's more K-Marts than Wal-Marts in Southern California, but still you think she would have at least heard of the company.

I'd forgotten how much of an improvement season 2 was over it's predecessor until I purchased it just the other evening at Best Buy for an unbelievably low $6.99! What a breath of fresh air to be taken off the farm and out of the dead-end town of Altus! It's so fun to watch these two girls in action as they breeze into the lives of unsuspecting "regular folk" and turn their lives upside down. It's outrageous to watch what they're able to get away with, but it makes you wonder how much of it is actually orchestrated. While I love the show, one thing I find most annoying is the reactions of the people that invite Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie to perform these jobs. Come on, being surprised when they inevitably either screw the job up or blow it off altogether is like being surprised when Britney Spears shows her belly button - it's expected! I'm sorry, if I was a manager or proprietor of a business, as much as I adore these girls, if I valued my position as manager or my business I wouldn't allow them within 100 yards.

I think people put way too much effort into being overly-critical of this show. It's fluffy and doesn't require any thought to watch it. It's pure, unadulterated fun, and it's a wonderful escape. Now, I like movies and television shows that make you think as much as the next guy, but, tell the truth, don't you just want to sit back sometimes and watch a show that doesn't require you to use any brain power at all?

Everyone has their opinions on this show. You either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it. It's a piece of harmless fun. A funny show with exaggerated concepts and unrealistic motives. But lovable all the same. If you take The Simple Life as simply just fun, then it's a great show. If you read into it, and examine every single aspect, it's not so great.

When it comes down to it, The Simple Life is fake. They want you to believe these girls (Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie), have been stripped of everything that's important to them (money, credit cards, cell phones etc...)When in fact that's not the case. When you see pictures of them and the title reads "On set of The Simple Life" - that pretty much says it all. It's not supposed to be set up, it's supposed to be real. Is it scripted? Of course. Should it be, given the description of the show? No, it shouldn't.

The BIGGEST thing that gives this away is the editing. It's awful. Throughout the course of the season, you see the girls wearing the exact same outfits, hairstyles, looking exactly the same as previous episodes. And something tells me Paris & Nicole don't wear the exact same thing (EXACT TO A T), as previous weeks ago. It's so obvious none of it is real. So, I guess if you notice this, then yeah.. it's a fake show. Not reality.

When they say at the end of the finale "Yeah! We did it." They want you to believe they survived a month without their beloved credit cards, when really the truth is "Yeah, we finished filming."
