Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly asks this question, probably coming down from the non-stop drama of the Real Housewives franchise, or in Project Runway withdrawals. I think: too soon, man. It’s only the second episode and most Bravo shows simmer up to a spectacular finish. Give it time.
But, being the curious gal I am, I thought I’d see what Twitter thought of the show, since it made the trending topics last night. A sampling of what folks felt:
Skeeton Mischa wondered the same thing I did about Sebastian & Taylor’s date:
This lady doubted that PC’s “counselor” was even a real professional
And others wondered why these rich kids were all using Blackberrys instead of the far more “elite” iPhone:
This woman hated Jessie so much, she publicly made plans to talk trash about her on a message board:
Media analyst Jennifer Pozner broke down why this show is even on the air:
How are you liking NYC Prep so far? Or are you sitting this one out and just going to wait for Gossip Girl to return in the fall?

This show is soooooooooooooooooooooo boring. I think they all should go into Whining Annonymous. And their conversations are either non-existent, or contrived. It’s like they are trying to be an exciting, drama-filled group of teens, but they have NOTHING to complain about. This MUST be the worst reality show. It sucks. The only way that the show could work is if it included a serial killer that starts offing them all.
They certainly do have hypertrophied ideas of themselves and their families. And humility iscertainly in short supply. The boys are the worst kind of brats, and the girl who announced that her family is wealthy enough to be in the “top one percent” of the city’s income bracket. iswalking proof that money cannot buy class. If she were my kid, she’d get a good talking-to about dignity and manners. These kids make one wonder what their parents must be like! I was always told that those who talk about it probably really don’t have it. It was certainly not the thing to discuss in my hometown. I was picked on at a very early age for living in a larger and nicer house than than those of the other students at my school. I was miserable and humiliatedabout it–as if it was really my fault.Kids can be so mean.
It all reminds me of being a teenager.
That Jessie kid disturbs me. I’m not going to engage in name-calling on a minor. But I sure hope when she grows up she has a little more…perspective? humility? manners?
hw aboutthat camille, who for some reason believes she has a celluloid cat’s chance in hell of scoring a perfect 1600 on her SAT! Good luck with that, considering almost nobody, save maybe two people has ever done it. the arrogance and narcissism of these little idiotic brats is beyond belief–especially the boys. there isn’t even one likable character on this mess. oh, how about the girl who thinks she can sing? honey, believe me when I tell you thatyou cannot sing. my husband and i are both in the music business, and we agree that you’re incredibly terrible as a singer. Do us all abigfavor and get an education and don’t waste your time warbling!
most of them dont have clear personalities. and Taylor has the personality of a carrot.
While watching last night’s episode, I must have stated “This is so stupid!” and “Why am I watching this?” at least 50 times.
Jessie takes teenage bitch to a whole new level. She needs to get over herself and realize that PC is not in love with her. Well, he doesn’t have time, he’s too busy loving himself. I did feel genuinely bad when he got stood up on a date, but I’d love to know why the host/waited offered him a wine list. The boy is not of age. The show had shown him with beverages in hand several other times, but at least he could argue that we didn’t know what was in them.
I thought the antics of Kelli and Camille were very immature, even at 16/17 – scheming with phone calls and invites to get the dirt on a date that they had nothing to do with. And then Kelli tears up and bolts out of a party because Sebastian (full of himself) shows up and talks to Taylor (seems the most normal, but is way too concerned with getting into the ‘in’ crowd) – SHE INVITED BOTH OF THEM! WTF!
Its always entertaining to watch a hot mess… however these kids are in their early teens and acting like @ssh0les. I went to a catholic prep school and can say there is a little truth to the behavior, but this is magnafied on a whole different level. When did it become ok to have kids braggin about their fake ids on national TV?
