I have every season of The Simple Life and I have enjoyed the first seasons until season 4, when Paris and Nicole had their feud. But even though they didn't work together the season was fine. So now that they got together again to make season 5, I thought that the show was going to be really funny. But I really found it not so funny. This time they go to camp and there are not really fun scenes. I think that one of reasons can be, that they are in another stage of their lifes. I mean they are in their late 20's so making stupid things (Let's be honest. The show was fun because they were always making stupid things. Funny but stupid) is not so funny any more. And the other I think, was that there was nothing exciting in the stories that they made for this season.
I heard that season 5 is the closing season of the series. I think that it wasn't a good idea to end a show that had had success without closing it big.
Finally I must say that the DVD production is not good at all. It doesn't have special features. You can only find the usual DVD enhancements such as scene seletions or subtitles (this one includes subtitles in English, Spanish and French).
If you are a follower of the show, buy this one but if you want to buy a season for any reason. Try the first three seasons (the best ones for me are season 2 and 3).

Well i'm not sure whether to give it a 2 or 3 out of five ! It's not reality TV. They're faking every single scene. It's all acting and Paris Hilton gets on my nerves. She's so not funny, doesn't know how to act. I like Nicole more, it is very clear that she has more character and she's funnier. If you're dead bored and you want to watch gorgeous girls wearing designer clothing and handbags, then watch this one. It kinda passes time for ya if you have a lot with nothing to do.

With the completely noticable scriptedness of Season 5, (the band that is supposedly Hunter's friends that he hires in the Season finale to woo Paris is the same band that Nichole uses for the little boys birthday party in Season 4- now I highly doubt that is a coincidence) the Simple Life still delivers laughs. Although not the strongest Season, it definately makes up for Season 4. But maybe it's time to call it quits girls. We love you, but you just aren't as funny scripted.

I like "The Simple Life" series. It's one of those shows where you can sit back, shut off your brain, and enjoy the capers of two silly rich girls from LA.

I know alot of people have said this was the season they liked the least from 'The Simple Life' series but this is a great season, especially compared to some of the lame reality shows out now. Great DVD. love it.

I love this show for these girls are hilarious! I loved the one with the military instructor!!

Some people thought seasons four and five were less funny. We dont agree, each season has it's own appeal and material that made it different from the other seasons of Simple Life. They're all funny! We still watch all of them. Pick any season of the Simple Life and it's still the best reality show out there.

The final season of The Simple Life was not as good as the others, but it was still funny. You can really tell how fake this season was. It features all of the episodes, but it does not contain the original extended premiere that only aired once. It contains the shortened syndicated version. It also does not contain an episode guide insert like all of the previous seasons and does not contain any special features like the last 3 seasons. Pretty good show, but a bad DVD release.

This is the best season of the Simple Life, because this focuses more on the girls building people up, than them screwing things up. There are still some crazy moments, but more than the predictable "antics" of previous seasons, they are things that everyone can laugh at. Truly the closest "The Simple Life" comes to being heartwarming.

...as stupid does. Of course I have no idea if these girls are truly dumb, but if I had to base my opinion on these movies I'd have to say 'yes'. That being said, the series is pretty entertaining. I find amazing the way these girls treat people, the people who open up their homes to them and just folk in general. They act like teen age kids who have had no direction or parental influence in their lives. Just because you are extremely well to do does not mean that you should not have basic manners or social skills. I understand that this series is meant as entertainment and not really a look at the girls 'real' lives, but it sure serves as a clue what those lives must be like. And hey, if I inherited a ton of money, who's to say I wouldn't become just as irresponsible? I will note that in the later series, the girls often gifted the families they stayed with with some pretty nice stuff, so I suppose all is not lost. So, 3 stars for entertainment, -2 for embarrassment suffered while watching.
