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!
