"NYC Prep" on Bravo — Page 2

Like most womanizers, PC is obviously gay.

Kind of long, but a BRILLIANT recap!

And how are they "independent" if their parents are still footing all the bills? It's like virtual independence.

Taylor's family looks possessed. I love when she was like "I'm just keeping my mouth shut, this is good for my social standing." wtf? lol.

I agree about Camille and Kelly - they seem the least obnoxious of the buch.

Jessie is a hot mess. IF she looks this busted at 17, she's going to be one hot MILF at 40...

I'm sure she has a rhinestone covered can of pepper spray, or maybe she owns a switchblade headband.

A 16 year old and her 18 year old brother in an apartment alone. Are parents really that stupid?

Absolutely! Sometimes they're stupid AND crazy. Growing up, I had friends in high school who were brother/sister. Their father left their mother for another woman when they were toddlers and their mother was certifiably crazy. She made a living out of suddenly breaking to cause her car to get rear-ended to collect insurance money. She raised her kids to fear their father and anyone who knew them knew you never knocked on the front door. You had to go around to the back of the house. The mother insisted only their father would ever think to use their front door. Anyway, while the son was in high school and the daughter in middle school, the mother found some wealthy imbecile to marry her, but he hated kids and lived 60 miles away, so she told the kids they could have "their father's house" and packed up and left. End of story.

The interesting thing was, even in this affluent suburban area where we (mostly) grew up, my brother and I had so many friends with major issues and problems. Feeling like outsiders when we moved into the neighborhood, I guess we were sort of drawn to them. My parents were always sympathetic and we had a spare bedroom that operated something like a halfway house when a kid got kicked out of their house or possibly were in danger. My parents took part in keeping an eye out for this brother/sister team as well.

That article was hilarious! Especially the whole Jessi's thoughts/diary entries. Thanks for that!

Watched it a second time just because. Few questions/comments:

1. Taylor (aka Random Public School Girl)...why is she on the show??? I don't want to sound mean but when they showed her at her school & around her friends, I was like "Wow. There really is a difference between prep school kids & public school kids."

2. Speaking of Taylor, her mother has no backbone at all. If it was my mother, she would have yanked that Blackberry away from her & slapped her or something. At the age if 15, I would never have dared raised my voice at my mother.

3. Does Sebastian really think he is the sh*t?

4. I think PC is acting or he is seriously disturbed.

5. As for Jessi, was she really jealous of girls younger than her (i.e. Camille & Kelli)? I thought she was supposed to be top sh*t.

6. Did Kelli really memorize her credit card number? Also, notice how they talked about credit cards? This is why people enter debt. Why use a credit card for Chinese food? Seriously.

7. Camille must have done bad on her SATs because she seems like someone that would say her score on tv if she did extremely well. Or, she really did good (not good enough but pretty up there) and she's humble enough not to say what her score was.

8. I liked how Camille didn't apologize for being rich. Having money is a good thing.

9. Did the kids really meet at those functions or did they "meet" (as in they were cast, introduced to each other, and created a scenerio where they would meet while being filmed)?

10. The people aren't ugly...just plain looking.

That's all right now. I've been sucked in too. Of everyone in the cast, I still think Camille & Kelli are the likeable ones. Based on the previews, I think Kelli makes PC cry (in the scene where she tells him it feels like she's arguing with a chick or something like that).

This show makes me sad to be an NYC prep school student. Just know that some of us are sane and responsible, and we are scratching our heads in disbelief at some of what is going on on "NYC Prep".

Take it one step farther...not only did parents leave the brother/sister on their own, they had to consent to let the kids be filmed. Negligent parents who aren't even embarrassed.

Really, who would let their kids be on a reality show like that? What ever happened to parents protecting their kids? I'm totally appalled.

Jill Zarin's daughter, Ally, is friends with Kelli, I think. There's a picture of them together on Ally's blog. I could see Jill Zarin taking one look at that mass email and saying NO WAY!

I want to know which schools these kids attend. I'm wondering if they're going to touch on that boy who committed suicide at Dalton in February. That scene at the graveyard reminded me of it.

I think PC is a disturbed diva. He looks to me like the kind of kid that could go on a shooting spree at any given time.

Well, I haven't watched the episode yet, but I caught the previews at the end of the first showing, and apparently PC goes to Mexico and discovers that he's bi! What a shock. It's cute, almost. I remember when I was "bi" too!

I was walking down the street Sunday night and I swear Jessie and three very drunk friends told me they loved me. They were all very fakely tanned and ready for a cooch shot at the slightest provocation.

I am just wondering if PC is TRYING to act like Chuck Bass

Probably.

I'm an admitted frequenter of the hair flip and I can say that what Sebastian does doesn't even qualify. He kinda... shoves it out of the way. What a toolbag. All of them. I'm only about two years their senior and I want to punch all of them. If they went to my school, I would hate them not because they're rich or attractive (the latter being null and void seeing as they are some of the most unattractive teens I've ever seen), but because they are f*cking IDIOTS!

Seriously? They're not beautiful, but are average-to-attractive for teenagers. I don't know what teenagers you know! I suppose one could argue that the standards should be higher because a) they're on TV, and b) have boatloads of money, but otherwise, they're normal.

PC is hilarious. "In the prep school scene, [insert next random, probably untrue statement]." That, coupled with the Dawson's Creek-esque philosophizing, seriously made me laugh.
