How P.C. is PC?
The answer…. not one damn little bit!!!! And that is why you either love him or love to hate him. I don’t care who you are, that dinner party was hilarious, and it was all thanks to PC. The only way that Camille’s dinner party could have been any more entertaining was if the attendees had started get mysteriously murdered like in Clue.
I know that PC is an asshole, but I have to admit, it is damn funny. Now, don’t get me wrong people who go around asking other people whether or not they are virgins and spouting other people’s personal business are not cool. But… on the other hand, if you are doing it to “stir the pot” as PC said, I think I can give you a pass. I too, love to make people uncomfortable and when you can do it in a situation where it is already extremely awkward (as the dinner party was) that makes it even better.
Do Kelli and Camille have a right to be mad at PC? Absolutely! If someone did that stuff at my dinner party, I have to think that I would be pissed. Hang on you say… you just said that you love to make people uncomfortable and what PC did was hilarious and now you are trying to tell me it would piss you off? Explain… Ok, I will! For starters, it was NOT my dinner party, it was Camille’s, and as a fly on the wall (and not the host) I was, and still am to a certain degree, laughing my ass off. Also, I would be pissed at the dinner party, but I think, no I know, that I would get over it. (Which Kelli probably won’t because she is such a crybaby.) I mean let’s be honest, the stories of that party that are going to be tol in a few months from now are going to be comedy gold… and I don’t care which chair you were sitting in.
I just want to wrap this blog up with one final point. That dinner party was definitly the center piece of the episode and it would have been boring as shit if PC had not attended, or even if he had and he chose not to ask such personal and uncivilized questions. All I know is this… thank goodness that PC doesn’t stand for Politically Correct!!!

Teenage Mini Drama Makes the News
I had some conversations with friends who are all excited to watch the show because it reminds them of Laguna Beach! This seems to be a pro and con of the show, but for me it’s a big plus. I loved Laguna Beach and never missed an episode so I think I’m going to feel the same way about NYC Prep. Laugna Beach was rich kids living it up in California and NYC Prep is rich kids living it up in Manhattan.
The show previewed last week to the press and they have been speaking up about the show. They are all giving us the same basic information about the people, but now people are starting to comment about the actual show. Case in point: New York Times recently released a blog post called “Born Rich: A Preview of ‘NYC Prep’”. This is by far the best anything written on the show so far, but the points they use to down the show are the reasons why I want to watch.
In a nutshell, these kids lead reckless, privileged, precocious lives, whipping small hiccups into stiff peaks and saying rash and ill-advised things like “I have my own credit card. I don’t know how much I use it” and “we’re the elite of the elite.” It’s hard not to laugh at their myopia, ridicule their inconsequential chamber dramas and scoff at their teenage histrionics. And that’s exactly what the audience did, over and over again through the hourlong show. The cast slumped further down in their seats.
People like these Laguna Beach/The Hills/The City type shows because they show a life that as normal people we don’t live and we are a little intrigued. Yes, it’s mostly contrived drama, but it showing us something we don’t have in normal life. Or if we do, we’re watching other people live through it too. Isn’t that the whole reason why we watch television in the first place?
But watching these teens think they are “adults” is something I’m really ready to see. I think we’ve all been in that mind set where we thought we knew everything but were completely wrong. Being a teen, I know I thought I was invincible with my credit card that had no limit. But I never worried about paying that bill or any bills as a matter of fact. But it’s interesting to see them put on their adult faces in the Bravo preview special with the dinner parties and PC being upset because Taylor was talking about nothing during a fashion show.
But is that a reason for the adults in the room to laugh at them? Maybe, probably, and yes. This teenagers will learn soon in life they don’t have everything figured out and where money can probably get you a lot of places in this world, it won’t get you everywhere. I bet those kids did feel a little uncomfortable sitting in the press preview, but they are teens.
The fun part of being a teenager was having these mini-dramas that we thought were the end of world until we had to face real problems later in life. I understand these types of shows are not for everyone, but we must take them at what they are: entertainment and the expense of other people’s lives. But they chose to get filmed by the cameras, so we should at least watch what happens!
