Real Gossip Girl?

Ugh. I can't believe they really did it.

Rumors were circulating about a reality show that was the "real" Gossip Girl life. I didn't think it would push through with all the negative feedback it has been getting but apparently, NY Prep makes its debut in the States this week! Ugh!

It's still in its experimental stage being dubbed as a "docuseries" but I think they'll turn it into a full reality show in the months to come. Gosh.

Anyway, let me introduce you to the interesting(?) characters of the show:

Peter "PC" Peterson, 18
PC could be watching a lot of GG because he fits Chuck Bass' jerky character to a tee! It's no surprise when he revealed that he dreams to be an actor. Well, this heir could very well do what we wants as he gets a lot of green from his billionaire grandfather.

Jessie Leavitt, 17
Jessie is a snobby fashionista who boasts that, "I've had a personal sales associate at Barneys since I was 13." (air headed much?) She also brags that her mom has never worked a day in her life. Jessie shares a little bit of Blair with her preference for bad boys, which in this case is, PC. But if you ask PC, he thinks Jessie is the prep school bitch (yah right! but these two apparently had a past together).

Kelli Tomashoff, 17
Kelli is an aspiring singer and she and her mom thinks the show is the perfect avenue to showcase her talent. We'll see a little bit of Serena Van der Woodsen in her as she lives with her older brother in an upper east side apartment without supervision. Her parents live in the Hamptons, dropping in once a week for dinner. She claims that "we don't do homework", "we don't work". (Oh yeah, co'z your too posh for that *rolls eyes*)

Sebastian Oppenheim, 16
The show's very own Nate Archibald, Sebastian has a way with the ladies (oh really?). He is the son of movie producer dad and a french mom. He looks like a model and uses his french to impress the ladies. He doesn't go to NYC like the other preppies, he attends a private school in East Hampton. He says that his current goal is to have sex with as many girls as possible. "Why date one girl when you can hook up with a bunch?" (ugh!)

Taylor DiGiovanni, 15
The show's Jenny Humphrey, Taylor is not as rich as her East Side counterparts. She doesn't even go to the same school! Taylor is a public school girl that producers decided to add to the mix. I mean hey, the rich and poor don't mix well but they do make good television!

HERE'S MY FAVORITE! (yeah right) *drumroll*

Camille Hughes, 16
Camille has her future perfectly planned out like our favorite, Queen Blair. She's an overachiever with a solid plan for her future which includes going to Harvard, marrying rich and having kids. Hmmm... something about this girl ain't right. I think it's the headband. It's too Blair! She might deny it but I think she watches too much Gossip Girl.

I wonder if this show will rate well in the States. I know, it's ridiculous but then who knows? We all thought Paris Hilton's My New BFF was ridiculous too but then everyone started to get hooked on the show. Ha, the irony :P

I guess it's too early to judge. Who knows, if NY Prep finds its way to Manila, I *might* even become a big fan (nyay).


One thing I'm totally not digging are their overall looks. They might be rich but they are so far from our favorite GG guys and girls.
