Stars: Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie

Summary: Reality television gets yet another shot of adrenaline with THE SIMPLE LIFE. An almost incomprehensibly absurd premise realised for the world's viewing pleasure, this series finds two of New York's obscenely rich kids socialites thrust into the muck of rural Americana. Watch in awe as Paris Hilton (hotel chain heiress) and Nicole Richie (Lionel's daughter) struggle with the day-to-day functions that are second nature to most people, but become incredibly challenging to the overprivileged, un-worked socialites that they are. Includes the show's first seven episodes where the Leding family of Altus, Arkansas share their life and farm with the pampered Louis Vuitton-bagged princesses.

The hook of The Simple Lifeis irresistible: two wealthy, pampered young women go from upper-crust Los Angeles to an Arkansas farm to prove that they can survive without their mobile 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, a fast-food joint and a livestock auction), but they possess not a jot of work ethic, nor any sense of the consequences of failure. Like the girls themselves, this 2003 reality show becomes fascinating and repellent, comic and horrifying. It's like watching alien beings trying to masquerade as people. --Bret Fetzer
