I cannot even begin to describe the absurdity of this show. Anyone else catch the special premier of this travesty last night on bravo?

I think it is hilarious. I went to prep school and these kids aren't even from the upper tier schools. The best one of the entire cast is the girl from public school. If she had the money she could get into the schools the prep school kids on the show wish they could get into. They also act like they are the **** and spend so much $$$$ but they don't and only two of them on the show are actually legit as far as being extremely wealthy. I LOVE the Kelli girl on the show just because it is so easy to laugh at her for being pathetic. She cries and has to leave each time something goes against her wants. She knows the one guy is a douche yet she still wants him due to the fact that she can't have him.

I watched the preview special. Now, I have a fond place in my heart for shows like the Housewives, as if you are into schadenfreude, you tend to have a veritable feast with these shows. NYC Prep is so pathetic, you can't even feel schadenfreude, as the failure is just too epic not to actually feel sorry for these tools. I mean, they're all certain to need rehab at some point, years of therapy, etc.

“The schools on this show are all at the bottom,” Ms. Goldman said. “There would never be a Brearley girl on this show.”
Edit: I did not go to a prep school in NY.

What use would anyone attending a decent prep school have for anything from Nike?

These kids are pathetic. I wonder how much psychological help they are going to need in the future when they experience what the real world is like.

wear them after school I guess. None of the kids are at the top prep schools. I liked the store from the little I saw of it.

I watched the first two episodes on Hulu.

It's entertaining, in a sad sort of way.

How do you say it is false?????? They don't film the schools OR even talk about them. I went to prep school as well and there's definitely kids like the characters in the show.

the gay kid = (Not) Carl...

EDIT: this show is amazingly infuriating, even though I'm sure it is heavily edited. Wow.
