For Depression-era audiences, much of the fun of screwball comedies such as It Happened One Night and My Man Godfrey, was the pleasure of watching rich people act like loons or get their redemptive comeuppance from some Average Joe. The same vicarious kicks are at play in the sophomore season of The Simple Life, in which Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie drive from Florida to California. With no cash or credit cards, they must depend on the kindness of strangers (invariably nonplussed men whom the ladies approach for handouts at toll booths, gas stations, or fast food joints). The series takes great delight in putting the pampered and privileged duo in embarrassing situations, such as getting them jobs as maids at a nudist resort. But through it all, our uneasy riders are game for almost anything and never lose their 'tude. And just when their antics try the viewers' patience or sympathy (at the nudist resort, they shamelessly goldbrick on the job, posing as guests and calling for a maid to clean up the room for which they are responsible), they somehow redeem themselves. On a cattle drive, they pull a City Slickers and save one steer from slaughter. But comeuppance? These girls don't know the meaning of the word (insert your own joke here). They are forced to take it from several of their less-than-impressed hosts, but they also dish it out, as witness one episode in which one unwitting antagonist is served a dog food sausage courtesy of Nicole. How much of this is staged is probably beside the point. The Simple Life is unreality television at its most addictive. Fasten your seatbelts. --Donald Liebenson

 Best season of fish out of water January 5, 2009
MortensOrchid (Cleveland, OH)
Paris and Nicole are back for their second, and thusfar best season of their reality show, The Simple Life. Here they are more experienced at what things will and won't give them laughs, and they have a real challenge to work for. They are on a road trip to drive cross country from Florida to California, without any money or credit cards, having to live off the kindness of strangers. People have done it without the luxury trailer and pick up they are living in. Here they meet up with people for just a few days rather than having to live with them in extended circumstances. They do everything from having to make sausage, be mermaids at an amusement park, to waxing a man's hairy back. They can and will get themselves into a lot of trouble with people.
The only words of criticism are for that of Nicole rather than Paris. For all their bumbling antics and silliness, Paris seems to be the more friendly and cooperative one. Nicole is much ruder and abrasive with people, even when they are being harassed by the redneck teenage boy they have the misfortune of staying with for a spell. She is not big enough to walk away from it, and instead gives him the special sausage that she made out of dog food for him. Quite honestly, most sausage is probably close to dog food, but it's the thought that counts.
 I'm rating the item, not The Simple Life April 21, 2008

I Just recieved the second season dvd and just watched the first 5 episodes... but theres at least 9 episodes in season 2, not just 5. What the heck is going on...
-There is only one disc (as it even says on this product description)
???? Anyone else have this issue?

I Love the simple life and ordered numbers 3 and 4 also. However in the second last episode of series 2 the CD skips and jumps and then just stops so that is a bit dissapointing. I was going to return it or exchange it but I didn't keep my receipt.

 Do I have a guilty pleasure? October 6, 2006
Dumb Blonde Reviewing (In my bed)
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.
