The funny thing is some of them aren't new money. PC comes from a very well known old money family. Some articles are saying he should know better to act like he is if he wants his family trust.

watched this about an hour ago... i agree with all of you. i love how PC and (i forget the blonde chick's name that's his BFF) are all like "these kids are so young, they know nothing... blahity blah..." he is so the show's Sebastian from Cruel Intentions.

and umm, yall are 17. one year difference. its funny because they look either really old or really young. and is it a prereq that all these rich wealthy girls must looooove fashion/pr and talk really slow with their heads cocked to the side?

is Sebastian supposed to be this show's Spencer? (that's as far as i can go with a Hills reference) and the public school girl isnt fooling me - she wouldnt be associated with any of these kids if they werent being taped all the time. plus props to her mom who - gasp - actually gives a hoot about her life.

i love how they all talk about their money and their Hampton houses, their credit cards... none of it is yours! none of you work!

In all honesty, that's one of the things that bothers me the most about that show. That her eyes are WAAAAAY too close together. I made fun of Teresa from the Real Housewives of NJ for her eyes being too far apart... guess I'm an "eye-ist" (or whatever the equivalent of being snobbish towards messed-up eyes is)... :p

I hate this show SO MUCH.

PC makes the experience all the more painful.

He wants SO MUCH to be so ritzy and grown.

And are we to believe that Bravo let these KIDS toast alcoholic beverages? I say they were nonalcohol, which makes it all the more corny (although legal).

These kids are not the real deal. I was reading on another forum by several New Yorkers that they attend a school called Dwight, which although a prep school is a Tier 3 prep-school at best. They argued that the only truly elite one was actually the public school girl, because her school is actually elite (based on test scores though, not money) and that Dwight is essentially for kids who were rich enough for prep school but not smart enough for the real deal.

This is just like the "Real Housewives of __________"...it's not the real thing. They are on the outside of the true upper class/elite and looking in, and think this show will push them into the real thing. But it won't because anybody who is truly elite in New York would never associate themselves with a show like this.

YES.

HBO once did a documentary on children whose parents are wealthy. I think there were kids involved who were Rockefellers, Johnson and Johnson heirs, etc. After it aired, several of the kids involved were cut entirely from wills and were denied their trust funds because their families found the exposure appalling. Why? Because the truly wealthy and elite don't typically feel that that that type of attention is necessary. These kids wanted attention and it cost them their trust funds. I wonder if the same will happen with these kids.

Yeah, I agree. Bravo's really stretching here with the nyc preps. Sadly, I do watch it. How about you??

MamaB 07-07-2009 03:56 PM

Does anyone even think it's crazy that these kids are left to their own devices with no parental control??

MamaB 07-07-2009 03:59 PM

Hey, AnotherKD, I agree with you about Camille's eyes. WTF??? I can't tell who she's looking at or where!!! She's soooo cross eyed!! Freaky.

They have this tone of voice that just grates on my nerves. It is as if they all have stuffed up noses, and the peppering of "like" doesn't help either. The exbf Cole has a normal sounding voice, I wonder if there is a whole diction and voice course on how to sound nasal offered in these private schools.

PC and Jesse Barred from Vodka Party

Does anyone else find the hair flip/smoothing move that Sebastian does to be the most annoying thing on the planet? Drives.Me.Insane.

Something I ask myself almost every episode:
Those club scenes where they are drinking, is it safe to assume it's reall liquor. If 17 and 18 yo get away with it, doesn't Bravo suck for showing it?

It drives me crazy. He's only slightly less annoying than PC.

Bravo showed Raquel (from Real Housewives of OC) drinking....they just put a disclaimer at the end. I don't think they suck for showing it, but the clubs suck for allowing the 17 & 18 year olds to drink.

DrPhil 07-14-2009 02:02 PM

This show annoys me but I get sucked into back-to-back episodes everytime. LOL.

I think this is the one where PC is in Mexico and his friend says he's bisexual.
