MTV's My Super Sweet 16
 

I tried doing a search on this but couldn't find anything. Did anyone else watch last night's "My Super Sweet 16?" Was it the most annoying thing you've ever seen? This reminded me of being in 10th grade again, but to have one person exemplify all that annoyed me about some of the girls at my high school was impressive.

I also thought it was funny that her "ideal" place for her Sweet 16 was the same place my prom and a lot of my friend's weddings took place. I never would have chosen it as a Sweet 16 venue. But then again, I didn't and don't think that the lavishness of a party is an indication of love from your parents.

i have been watching it the last few weeks. last night's episode....:eek: that girl is so spoiled!!! and she was so snotty! it was like watching a car accident...just awful, but i could not turn away

Oh, are you talking about that girl that started crying because her parents said they weren't getting her a car? She was soooo annoying and such a drama queen.

It's such a ridiculous show. I can't believe there are people out there spending $100,000 or $200,000 on their kid's 16th birthday. There are people out there that spend less than that on a house.

So far, the girls who did their party in the hard rock La jolla was my fav ep. It's total train wreck tv, you don't want to watch the carnage, but you can't turn away. :)

Where do these people have all these lavish sweet 16 parties? I'm from a pretty nice area and I don't know anyone who threw a huge bash for their sweet 16, and my friends said they don't either. I did get a car from my parents, but that was it.. no huge celebration or anything. Has anyone ever gone to a big sweet 16 like that?

These are common here in LA. I went to quite a few parties like this in high school. Usually the parents and kids decide if they want to spend the money on a bar or bat mitzvah or Sweet 16. For those who aren't Jewish, they have the Sweet 16 to make up for the bar and bat mitzvahs. My friend Nicole had the first party at the new tower of the Century Plaza Hotel in their pink marble ballroom. Her theme was Cinderella's Going to the Ball and we all wore old fashioned ball gowns and the invitations were hand delivered in pizza size boxes and were printed on silk. It was OUT OF CONTROL. Of course, Nicole was nothing like Ava, and her parents were nothing like Ava's parents. I am sure Nicole's wedding had a hard time competing.

I admit I've been watching it. Last night's show was crazy. That poor girl, oh I would hate to be around when mommy and daddy cannot provide for her anymore! My mother would have never let me wear clothes like that anywhere! I will say this, I am jealous that she went shopping in Paris!

Ok, I'll admit it too...I watch the show on occassion.

Yeah, I'm really surprised by that girl's parents. Her mother takes her to Paris to get a new dress and her dad drops $200K for a sweet 16. I mean she sneaks off to Santa Barbara, and the next thing you know..her daddy buys her a truck. Talk about parenting :rolleyes:


**although I secretly wish I had a dad like that.....you know, shed a tear, get a car**

I am so glad that I wasn't the only one who has this "guilty pleasure" and watched these train wrecks. Who has $200,000 to spend on a Sweet 16, let alone a wedding. Those girls were right...If this is her Sweet 16 party, what in the world will her wedding be like?!?

OTH, wouldn't you love to know what in the world these parents did for work as a living????:eek:

I had a friend in the bay who had a nice (not 200K though) Sweet 16. The parents rented out a hotel banquet hall and invited the whole family and her friends. And dress was semi-formal.

Though I had a friend who's mom through her a REALLY lavish Cotillion. Those are pretty much weddings without the grooms at the age of 18. A LOT goes into the prep.

But I did catch the show this weekend and I couldn't figure out what the hell it was... a special maybe? But a SERIES? Wow... MTV has really lost it's touch.

I caught a few minutes of last night's episode, and yes that girl was super annoying. I can't believe what these people's parents do for them! But I just love, ya know, like those people that say "like" all the time, and like, ya know, end every sentence like it's a question?

Honestly I started watching one episode and the girl just annoyed me to no end. She was a total snotty bitch. IMPO. She was acting like it was her wedding or something. HELLO IT'S ONLY YOUR SWEET 16!!!!!!! Not that bid of a damn deal!!!!!!!!

(FYI I watch the one with the girl who was worried about her mom getting drunk. Plus she looked horrible in the dress she had made for her because she DID NOT have the body for it)

I don't normally wish ill will on anyone, but oh do I wish that Ava's parents would lose every dime they have so she's forced to go work cleaning bathrooms at Burger King.

As much of a monster as she was, I've got to lay some of the blame on her parents, who are obviously made of Jell-O.

I've never seen this show, but from the sounds of it, it is very tacky. Do these young people get any training before their sweet 16s? Girls participating in cotillions are trained, as are kids getting ready for their bar or bat mitzvahs.

I'm wondering if these are parents who are just willing to spend lots of money on their kids Talk about spoiled.
