NYC Prep

[nastynate0315]

<p>thank you jesus, someone revived this thread.</p>

<p>I can’t wait for next weeks episode. I’m pumped for PC’s diva moment at fashion week. I swear this trainwreck show gets better by the week. I mean seriously, who calls their best friend “a fat c*unt”? what self-respecting hetero guy calls any girl that?!? LOL</p>

[big_dreamer]

<p>^Haha, that’s pretty funny. One good thing: you get to see their houses! So does PC like have no friends at all? Any truth to that article earlier in this thread? Just curious if he really is a shameful heir to his family…</p>

[nastynate0315]

<p>pretty much. I mean at least that’s what it seems like. I mean how could anyone be friends with that ass.</p>

<p>And about the article I mean I’m sure his family is not pleased with him being on the show. Look at all the other kids, you’ve seen their families on the show which means they are clearly are ok with their kids being filmed. Have you seen anyone from PC’s family? nope. Not a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, nothing…</p>

<p>too bad all of them, except for camille, go to crappy nyc private schools. no one respectable would sign up for that show.</p>

<p>Curiosity and boredom breeds interesting results with me, some things I’ve found about NYC Prep and the validity of the show:</p>

<p>

But in some ways, the girls observe, the NYC Prep kids are just as sheltered - in their seeming ignorance of life beyond wealthy Manhattan - as kids who’ve spent their whole lives in a one-stop-light town.</p>

<p>They describe it as a bubble - only to point and laugh, with see-I-told-you-so glee, when PC’s ex girlfriend describes the Upper East side using exactly that word in episode 2.</p>

<p>And the bubble of the Upper East and West sides - at least for the NYC Prep kids - is worse than that of a small town, or, say East New York, as the girls point out, because to a large degree it’s self-imposed. </p>

<p>“They’re not sub-Saharan isolated,” says Maggie says of the kids on the series.</p>

<p>[…]</p>

<p>“It’s weird that in a show about New York City they picked someone who has no friends of other races,” says Lucie.</p>

<p>[…]</p>

<p>Nia got accepted to the school where her father works, considered one of the most academically competitive, before they figured out she was a girl (the school is boys only). She’s quick to dis the schools the NYC Prep kids attend as, “the lowest rung.”</p>

These six swaggering rich kids — four girls and two boys — dutifully spend and text their way around the Upper East Side like their fictional counterparts on “Gossip Girl,” only they do it haltingly. Like real-life adolescents, their arrogance is dotted with hesitation, nervous laughter and assertions put in question form.</p>

Members apparently missed the memo: If you feel the need to talk about how exclusive you are, you’re probably not that exclusive. “There’s definitely a lot of exclusive things about being in a prep school in New York,” Upper East Sider P.C. says smugly, adding: “It’s kind of the elite of the elite. It’s a great environment to be around. . . . It’s kind of disgusting how much money people have.”

Victoria Goldman, the author of “The Manhattan Guide to Private Schools and Selective Public Schools,” suggested that the teenagers’ behavior may have something to do with the private schools in the show — which she said are not top-shelf. (There are no students from Dalton, Brearley, Chapin and Collegiate, to name a few of the most highly regarded schools in the city.)</p>

<p>“The schools on this show are all at the bottom,” Ms. Goldman said. “There would never be a Brearley girl on this show.”

<p>I’ll be honest, my attention span is near non-existent, so I scanned most of these articles.</p>

[big_dreamer]

<p>Great research nonehteless, and I now believe that PC is giving (wealthy) Greeks a bad name…:(</p>

<p>The kids do seem to live in a thoughtless bubble where everything is perfect/la la land, which is why I thought that it was scripted w/ bad acting. Neever realized how everybody but PC’s family was filmed, showing how disgraced they are. I bet his grandfather wants to ship him to work on a farm in Greece to straighten that guy out. Or make him date Texan girls :)</p>

[nastynate0315]

<p>^I’m not entirely convinced he’s even into girls…</p>

<p>From the first article posted earlier, [PETE</a> PETERSON ‘MORTIFIED’ OVER PC- New York Post](<a href=“http://www.nypost.com/seven/07192009/gossip/pagesix/reality_bites_180118.htm]PETE”>http://www.nypost.com/seven/07192009/gossip/pagesix/reality_bites_180118.htm)</p>

<p>

Last week, PC was spotted getting “super touchy-feely” with Barron Hilton at the Gramercy Park Hotel.

</p>

[big_dreamer]

<p>He rejected 2 hot Texan girls who wanted to dance w/ him in Mexico & his friend called him bi in a joking sort of way, but he never denied it. I think that he’s bi or doesn’t like girls.</p>

[honorstudent]

<p>Such a shame, PC’s hot and has style, albeit being a spoiled jerk.</p>

<p>Maybe I can change him? ;)</p>

[smilemyonly]

<p>PC is so far from hot it is unbelievable, I really hope that was a bad joke. :)</p>

[honorstudent]

<p>Lol, sorry, I really do think he’s attractive, but only when it comes to looks. Come on, you have to admit he’s way better than that nasty Sebastian, ugh I can’t even stand looking at him and all the girls are like “Oooh, he’s so cute” and every time I see him I want to puke, lol.</p>

[smilemyonly]

<p>PC he’s so feminine looking! He’s stocky and kinda short. I do not find him the least bit attractive. And I kinda think Sebastian is pretty freaking adorable! But the way he talks … he like mumbles and sounds lazy. Haha idk but both of their personalities are epic fail.</p>

[honorstudent]

<p>Haha, oh man smilemyonly, we are like polar opposites when it comes to guys! And I definitely agree about their personalities. PC thinks he’s all high and mighty and “mature” whilst Sebastian’s just a manwhore womanizer.</p>

[alamode]

<p>the hottest guy on the show is that mexican kid who was PC’s friend or whatever.
he was nice lookin</p>

[smilemyonly]

<p>Haha yea I guess so, but Idk maybe if PC was a bit taller and didn’t wear eyeliner he’d be slightly ok looking, he’s got those piercing eyes though which is pretty cool!</p>

[big_dreamer]

<p>Haha, PC wearing eyeliner! ;)</p>

<p>The only reason people conside him hot is because of drop-dead gorgeous Greek genes woohooo !!! PC kinda looks like a bi George Costanza (guy from Seinfeld) w/ hair!</p>

[nastynate0315]

<p>I don’t get why people think either PC or Sebastian are attractive. PC is short, Stocky, and wears guyliner and Sebastian is just so homely looking. I’m sorry but I just don’t see the appeal. This goes for the girls too, from far away you almost see the Camille/Blair Waldorf connection with the milky white skin and brunette hair but up close she’s a hot ghetto mess. I don’t care how much money they have, it won’t buy them looks and it can’t uncross jessie’s eyes.</p>

[big_dreamer]

<p>^Ouch, haha! I’m a straight dude, and I’m not attracted to the girls, especially with the high maintenance personalities. Haha, in typical CC fashion, I’ll be conceited & officially call the characters portrayed by PC & Sebastian as repulsive/disgusting. I mean they have no vocab beyond 6 letter words, even their own names! Such a mess…</p>

[honorstudent]

<p>nastynate- actually money can uncross Jessie’s eyes. My Spanish 3 teacher 2 years ago had surgery to fix hers.</p>
