I spent a horrifying amount of time watching Bravo yesterday, but was pleased by my find of a new show called NYC Prep. Actually, the Big A told me about it in the hospital, so I went looking for it. OMG. I mean, OMG. It is about a group of New York City upper east and upper west side high school prep students who basically act and live like adults. Except they are in high school, don’t work, and have more money than anyone else ever featured on a reality tv show, except for maybe the Donald. Right away, I knew I was was going to get hooked. Most of the kids are ungodly rich, not very attractive (By Hollywood standards, calm down) and full of themselves, so I knew it was a good summer show to follow and write about. Apparently, it is being compared to Gossip Girl, which is the same concept except this show is the real deal. I smell big trouble for these kids come fall. Can’t wait to hear the fallout of this show. You can find out all about this show here:

Some of the cast have blogs on the Bravo website. This is where you can spend a lot of time, so beware. Kelli had the funniest quote: As far as what it would be like to live independently with my brother, I have to be honest- I don’t know, because that is not the situation I’m in despite how it may seem. Out of all of my friends, I feel like I have the strictest parents! People, listen up, she lives in an apartment in NYC with her brother, and they are both teenagers. Her parents live in the Hamptons. Who in their right mind thinks it is smart or safe to let your children live alone in New York? I don’t care if they have a doorman and credit cards. Where is their supervision? These kids go out to parties and dinner clubs more than I ever did in my twenties and thirties combined, and they are YOUNG and in HIGH SCHOOL. Ahhhhhh ….
That last paragraph should be enough to convince you to watch the show. However, let me place the cherry on top of this dish of sweet gooey fluff:
There are two so called “hot” guys on the show, Sebastian and PC. Both have annoying hair, not so much in the personality departments, and have no idea how to date the ladies. But they think they do, and maybe to high school girls who know nothing they do. It is hilarious to watch them act like seasoned dating professionals. PC’s bio says this about him – For PC, money, women and life’s spoils are all he’s ever known, and as such, he can’t wait to get out of the “sandbox” of high school. How trite. Sebastian’s bio is even better- Sebastian is known among his circle of friends as the guy who constantly hooks up with the hottest girls – either in the City or at his place in the Hamptons. As a native French speaker, girls swoon at his surfer good looks and impeccable accent. I think he looks like Justin Timberlake when he does his Gibb brothers skit with Jimmy Fallon on SNL, but way worse. And his hair is like Donald’s Trump, a total comb over that is so not hot.
Man, I just love the show in an “OMG” is this real kind of way? WHAT? I don’t even care if I was rich, I would NOT spend my money this way! And these kids act like “hooking up,” is so no big deal!? Hello, it’s a time of std’s and hiv, I hope they use protection! Rich but so darn stupid! PC is an asshole to the max. The girls are more than Paris Hilton ever thought of being! These people need to wake up! What will they do when their money is gone, gone, gone!

I have seen bits and pieces of the episodes. I find it hard to sit through a whole episode of that show. And you are totally right about the hair!

I was watching Bravo the other day and saw the commercial for the first time. So, I haven’t seen the first episode and didn’t realize I had missed it. Looks like I have some catching up to do. Glad to hear it is decent! I am not a fan of Gossip Girl…but I am a fan of reality TV, so hopefully I’ll like it.
Oh, and I hope you are feeling much better after your surgery. Sorry I have been MIA! I have been updating my own blog lately…finally!
