The Simple Life Season 1

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The hook of The Simple Life is irresistible: Two wealthy, pampered young women go from upper-crust Los Angeles to an Arkansas farm to prove that they can survive without their cell phones and credit cards. As hotel heiress Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie (daughter of pop star Lionel) blithely move in with a farm family, the Ledings, the culture clash immediately becomes a train wreck; when asked to pluck chickens, Richie declares, "I'm not plucking anything but my eyebrows." They try to work a series of jobs (at a dairy farm, at a fast-food joint, at a livestock auction), but they possess not a jot of work ethic or any sense of the consequences of failure. Like the girls themselves, this 2003 reality show becomes both fascinating and repellent, comic and horrifying. It's like watching alien beings trying to masquerade as people. --Bret Fetzer


Product Description

How Crazy can it get when two rich, sexy, big-city blondes, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, find themselves knee-deep in rural reality, looking for fun in all the wrong places yet trying to survive without credit cards, nightclubs, and Saks 5th Avenue! With wild, you-gotta-see-it-to-believe-it outtakes, this is the show that's got everybody talking! So lock up your sons and see what happens when the girls with everything go from filthy rich…to just plan filthy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Should be called 'The Sickening Life', November 19, 2004
After running across Paris Hilton's awful 'book' in the bookstore, and seeing the reviews on this site of this DVD, I actually suffered through this to see if this was for real. Unfortunately, IT IS! These twits must be acting through the whole thing, because nobody could actually be that appalling, could they? But I really do not believe they are acting. This is pathetic! Have these people had no training whatsoever? Are they completely clueless in the etiquette department? This crap is not funny at all! The Leding family must have the patience of a saint, or perhaps, unlike their ungrateful guests, they just did not want to make fools of themselves on national tv. I would have thrown them out in the first 30 minutes! It is absolutely appalling to me how two totally disgusting, dishonest, wretched, lazy and downright stupid people can garner so much attention. This crap is an embarrassment to America! Who are their fans? Rebellious teens? Nothing these two did in this awful escapade was worthy of watching. Stealing, lying, picking on teen girls and taking their boyfriends? Dressing like hookers, acting unbelievably snobbish and stupid, and laughing at their hosts? And why wasn't Nicole Ritchie arrested for her little Clorox incident? People look up to these two because they happen to be born rich? And then some of their 'fans' say that people who look down on them are just jealous. What is there to be jealous of? All of their money combined, multiplied by 100 could never buy the most important things in life that they will never have: intelligence, honesty, compassion, gratefulness, morals, manners....
I can only hope that this stupid 'reality' craze will soon come to a halt, and in ten years, nobody will remember who these morons are. Our culture has sunk to a new low!

1.0 out of 5 stars Blonde Jokes, January 29, 2004
By Tim Brough "author and music buff" (Springfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I know this will probably generate a ton of NO votes, but this has got to be the most unfunny comedy ever monkey-fed to the goobers that dig "Reality TV." I was barely able to stomach more than half of the two episodes I watched on TV, and I viewed them because they were the talk of work the mornings after they aired. But where most of my co-workers saw hilarity, I saw a pair of despicable, pathetic, spoiled bimbettes with little or no values and barely a brain to split between them. That their host family didn't take Nicole and Paris out to the woodshed for a sound whupping amazes me, because they wouldn't have lasted 30 minutes with a heartland family had the cameras not been trained on them.

Yet the enormity of the hype that these two worthless show-biz kids managed to whip up around themselves gives one pause. They managed to denigrate anything that their hosts tried to offer them, couldn't as much as hold a job for more than a day without either throwing a tantrum or stealing from the employer, and basically disobeyed any kind of disciplines that were requested of them. All they seemed to be capable of doing was giggle, show cleavage, curse like sailors and behave like remorseless bubble-heads, barely capable of sheathing their contempt till they could escape the farm and get back to their bank accounts. Do these two irresponsible twits have parents that care if their daughters provide incontrovertible evidence of their absolute failures as an upbringer of their children? Or that abortion should be retroactive?

Buy if you must, but frankly I wish that Paris and Nicole's 15 minutes would end as soon as possible.

2.0 out of 5 stars fox is known for taking chances on useless crap, December 24, 2003
By A Customer
This show is awful. The pilot is entertaining, but it's all downhill after that. It's obvious these two are aware of the cameras at all times, as they behave as stupidly as possible. Hilton spits out as many ignorant comments as possible and Nicole acts ridiculous like she was on crack the entire time (after the show she was arrested for possession.) Hilton later admits the producers had them dress up in skimpy outfits to make them stand out in this town as much as possible, and that she was playing up her character by making famous comments such as "What is Wal-Mart, do they sell wall stuff?" After purposely losing every job they're assigned, these two treat the town as if they were not there to try to work as normal people, but to mock it as much as possible. They dress like hookers for a community fair they were offered to help out in, and pick a fight with a 15-year-old girl. Of course the Paris Hilton sex-tape scandal miraculously showed up just in time to get America to tune in to the show. There's talk of a season two, but just how much can viewers take? With an extra star for the pilot being funny and the occassional laugh I got from Nicole Ritchie, the rest of the series is just plain predictable. It's exactly as you'd expect two millionaires, or millionaires' daughters, to act when you've given them their own show; selfish and disrespectful. I feel sorry for the family who offered their home to them.
