The Simple Life 2 concludes tonight.
Paris and Nicole complete their cross-country road trip tonight as FOX’s top-rated summer series, The Simple Life 2, concludes with an hour-long episode at 9 p.m. ET. The series “has averaged over 9 million viewers a week–Fox’s top-rated show, both in total viewers and key demos,” the New York Post says. Still, last week’s episode was watched by 7.6 million viewers, its “lousiest showing ever,” according to The Washington Post. And the Globe and Mail argues, “The buzz has bottomed out for The Simple Life 2 in this diminished second version, though certainly through no fault of the adorable heroines.”
