Before Nicole Richie became a mommy and prior to Paris Hilton's brief but well-publicized incarceration, there was the fifth season of The Simple Life. In the 10 episodes that aired from May to August 2007, the former frenemies are again best friends forever and wreaking havoc in a summer camp-type situation. Because this is a reality series (wink, wink), the high-maintenance blondes are placed in fish-out-of-water scenarios that poke a little fun at themselves, but mostly mocks the real "simple" people they're trying to fit in with (at least on camera). Though the show is called The Simple Life, Hilton and Richie go out of their way to complicate matters. When they help run a fat camp, the rail-thin ditzes sabotage their clients' weight loss goals by taking them out for junk food. They teach young pageant girls how to flip the bird. And we won't even get into the anatomy lessons. But none of that is as repugnant as when Hilton coaches an 11-year-old would-be Lothario to pick up women... using a six-year-old girl as bait. There are plenty of actresses who aren't particularly good thespians, but they have a likable presence that makes them pleasant to watch on the screen. There is none of that here: Neither Richie or Hilton are good enough actors to make the viewer believe that any of this is real. And neither is interesting enough to make us forget that there really isn't a good reason to watch them do anything, especially when their humor is based on making fun of everyone who isn't them. That's not hot. --Jae-Ha Kim

Rating: - The End Of The Simple Life
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.

- eh !
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.

- Stupid is...
...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 ...

Rating: - Not so interesting this time.
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 ... Read More
