I caught a few random episodes and remained vaguely disinterested, but I've grown to love the show on dvd. The point where I realised the show had more going for it than just rich girls being high maintenance was the part where Nicole's making fun of the baseball players' stretching, "Can you guys do it at the same time ... and touch each other while you do it", and then trying to convince the opposing team's coach to cheer for her team, all the while Paris is just standing around trying to look pretty. Maybe Paris would actually be cool if she wasn't doing the fake cutesy voice and persona all the time, who knows, but anyone who finds the world at large to be an oppressively formal place will find comfort in Nicole's irreverent vulgarity.

This is the first season I've seen in full of the Simple Life. I've never seen the first or the fourth, and I've seen a few episodes in series 3 Interns, but otherwise that's it. I've never seen the rest of them cheap enough yet. This one was dead cheap, so I snatched it up straight away, even if I did get slated for buying it.

The thing about the Simple Life is you will rarely admit to buying it. Or admit to watching it. It's something that's meant to be kept a secret, cos it's simply not "cool".

I'm "coming out of the closet" and admitting I love watching the Simple Life. Sure, it's all scripted beyond belief, it's edited down from lots of footage to barely 20 minutes. And it stars one of the biggest self promoters you can possibly get. (Yes Paris I'm talking about you!)

But I love Nicole Richie. And despite her recent weight issues, I'll buy her biographies, and the Simple Life. She is the ultimate rock chick. And she's the true star of the show unlike Paris.

But one question is why is this show censored? The swear words are beeped out and there are some scenes where both girls are wearing low cut trousers, and it's been blurred out!!!

This will remain my one guilty pleasure, probably until I get the rest of the DVDs, but I just don't understand why it's been censored, it so stupid! That is my only quibble about this show.

If you get over the fact that they're rich bit*hes that do what ever the hell they want, and just watch it for entertainment value than it is a good show. This show might make you want to smack'em or laugh at'em or you maybe you just want to see more of'em, but it will make you feel something. It's worth it.

I am a 41 female artist who "by accident" was channeling flipping and caught the first two episodes of SIMPLE LIFE 2 on E! channel as part of a repeat promo. I started laughing so hard I was crying while watching the antics of Paris and Nicole- I am sure my neighbors thought I was insane. I was lucky to catch all of SIMPLE LIFE 1 on the weekend marathon via E! Channel and then rushed out to get the rest of SIMPLE LIFE 2 on dvd because I couldn't wait to see it. I also rented SIMPLE LIFE 3. Simple Life 2 is the best, then simple life 3 then Simple Life 1. All are good. The MUST NOT miss episodes for Simple Life 2 are working as maids at EL CALIENTE (the nudist colony )and the Sheriff Office stint in texas while the girls are staying at Click ranch. If you are in need of a spiritual lift via laughter I suggest you RUN and get SL2. Nicole is a modern day Mae West and people were making fun of me for loving this series. OF COURSE they hadn't seen any of it and saying they didn't want to watch those "dumb" girls. It is obvious anyone who judges this without watching it is an idiot. I hope Nicole and Paris can mend their rift- I hear they are filming SL4 but without interacting ( huh??????!!!!). They are a modern day Laurel & Hardy mixed with Puck from a Mid Summer Night's Dream mixed with Mae West etc. Loves it!

In the next installment of this wildly hilarious series, famous for no reason celebrities, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie take their hijinks to the road. Their range of work includes maids at a nudist colony to helping a minor league baseball team prep. And they are sure to never miss a beat. Nicole Richie provides most of the humor, usually making absurd comments about her life as a "masseuse in Korea twenty years ago," or telling a teenage boy that the girl he first kissed is "knocked up on the street." And as usual, Paris Hilton is shocked to discover that not everyone grows up in a mansion. The episodes are very short (each runs roughly twenty minutes), yet the humor and outrageous stunts these girls pull is well worth the money. For example, after ordering more food than they could pay for, Nicole tries to convince the manager that he gave her food with bitemarks in it and insists he take it back. Need I say more? Sure, there are other products that could be bought for this amount, but none will bring this much hilarity. I STRONGLY recommend this.

This season was very funny! All of the seasons are funny but this one does stick out in our minds. Wasnt this the season that Paris and Nicole tried out as Mermaids?
Oh man that was funny! Liked the part where Nicole comments "Thats very sexual" when she's referring to the Mermaid and the Turtle...lol
Hilarious! The outtakes are funny too! The DVD is well worth it.
Paris Hilton News and Reviews on YouTube

Let's take two girls, both filthy rich
From the bright lights, down to the sticks
From velvet ropes to cattle pulls
Let's take away their limousines
Their credits cards and shoppin' sprees
Well they're both spoiled rotten
Will they cry when they hit bottom?
Heaven knows if they'll survive
This simple road trip kinda life

Where the hell are we?!

A year after wreaking havoc on the small town of Altus, Arkansas, willowy heiress Paris Hilton and impish party girl Nicole Richie are given a new challenge: traveling from South Beach, Miami to their posh Beverly Hills digs in a hot pink pick-up truck pulling an airstream trailer. Paris' pet Chihauhau Tinkerbell returns and Nicole's adorable, fiesty Shih Tzu Honey Child (love the name) is brought along for the journey.

Once again the pampered socialites' cell phones and credit cards are confiscated and they must work several jobs along the way in order to make it back home, including training for spots in Florida's Weeki Wachee Springs mermaid show (of course Paris gets to be the mermaid while poor Nicole looks ridiculous in her turtle costume), serving as maids at a nudist resort called Caliente, making a total mess of sausage making in Mississippi, and pulling pranks on customers at a Texas hair salon. Ya know, the usual.

The best thing about season 2 is how varied the host families are. Most of them are friendly (God bless the religious family that put up with Nicole's potty mouth), but a few aren't so nice. The son of a Mississippi family believes the girls will be rude and act as though they're above everything (well it's not like he was too far off the mark) so he decides to give them their comeuppance. Not a good idea to cross those two and let's just say he got his just desserts. WOOF! Despite that bit of revenge, the girls are much nicer this time around.

The DVD extras are more expansive and interesting than the ones from season 1. Trust me when I tell you that every bit of the half hour outtakes and deleted scenes reel is hilarious! Paris gets a chance to showcase her funny bone (who knew she had one?) while prank calling a man about a room for rent.

Paris: I'm an old man.
Guy: You sound like a girl.
Paris *while trying her hardest not to laugh*: I'm a cross dresser so I use 2 voices.

Also included is a lost episode from season 1 that's equally entertaining. Unfortunately the series would show cracks after this season. There were always scripted moments (this is "reality tv" after all), but it would become more obvious in seasons 3 to 5. Anyway, sit back, turn off your brain, and enjoy. And cringe when you need to. Sa da sa SAAAAA!!!!

I LOVE this one i say its my favorite out of them all. Very funny when they are together even though im not a Paris fan but i absolutely adore Nicole she is the one that really makes the show in my opinion. What a personality and character she is. You love it!

I loved this series. It's basically mindless fun to watch these two girls go on adventures. Paris is the calm quiet one, while Nicole is the crazy one who always seems to get them into some kind of trouble. It makes for a pretty hillarious show :)

After sitting through all of season 1 I got this in the mail the very next day. It has several more episodes (3) than the first season, and it's general design and organization in the DVD is alot higher quality than the first DVD.

My friends and I LOVE to sit around the tele and watch Paris and Nicole laugh their butts off. They are such a fun couple of girls, they spread laughter and joy around whenever we watch them.

Season 2 is just as funny as the first, though it does seem a bit more "scripted" versus the first season. The story isn't as fun to follow up on, but you get to see so many different kinds of people that its well worth it. This Seasons lacks the strings that held it together so well in the first, but all is repaired in season 3.

I love to watch this DVD and these young women make fools of themselves and everyone! Truly makes you wanna be a blonde! ;)

*warning* after watching, you will being to say "that's hott"... may become annoying.
