I LOL when Mrs Hilton said ''Annnywaaaayy' after Ann finished singing. I am glad Jackay called her out saying she was trying to get a record deal.

Yvette's English accent has either been compromised since living in the US for awhile or the whole thing's a put on.

Yvette's accent is (as they would say in England) rather common. To an American it might sound nice and refined, but being from England I can say that it is not. As you can probably tell, she did not speak BBC English.

Spoilers ahead for tonight's show . . . Jabe and Rashad were cut from the list tonight. Vanessa and Rashad were selected to go to team Madison to even up the numbers. The teams had to compete in a fashion show where quite honestly, team Park looked like they already belonged to the Hilton family. I love the two people who were let go tonight and honestly do not understand the reasoning of cutting them other then to make the show appear as if the Hilton's are accepting of all types of people when it was obvious from the fashion show (thinking of the audience and judges) that they are not. And for the one MC to be blamed for one team's failure ~ give me a break ~ he did an outstanding job! Making Jabe look like Eminem was a lousy idea! That stylist should be shot! Seeing the catwalk teacher was humorous in that I wondered if he and Ms. Jay ever compete against each other. Say in something like a walk-off of the type seen in Zoolander? Now that I would love to see!

My goodness...........the Runway Coach was quite flamboyant and truly exudes confidence. I goggled him and found that he was in a documentary from the 90's called "Paris Is Burning" which centers on gay black males. He was quite interesting.}

I'm absolutely bewildered at the two cuts made last night. Could someone please 'splain to me like I'm a 6-year-old because I sure didn't understand why Vanessa and her lampshades are still there.

Considering the premise of this show, which is silly, my guess as to why they were eliminated.... I think Jabe was untrainable. As he said, he will go back to his life and dig ditches tomorrow. He was not a good candidate because he was not putting effort into learning as evidenced by his reluctance to learn about fashion apparently. Rashad was cocky, too street and probably not willing to to change much to fit into her society. (and why would he) They are looking for a Cinderella story so Jackay, Latricia, Brenden and JW are more likely contenders. Someone with desire and humility is what they are looking for.

where is the Amazing Race on? I hated it that Rashad & Jabe were eliminated. Vanessa & Latrica were far better candidates to go. Latrica has been on every loosing team, she whines alot & I am tired of her.

TAR first seasons are on Game Show Network...it's great (because I never saw the first seasons) because they are running them every night - here in Dallas they are on at 8 and 11 cst (same episode). It is fun watching it go by so fast.

I thought we were going to see the contestants being put thru some kind of improvements. There was that time they had makeovers but they didnt seem to help much. I would like to see Kathy's take on some of these people, you know have her speak to the camera in a private area so we can see what she really thinks. Tuesday nights I have to have two vcrs going. One to tape this show, and the other to tape this fascinating show taped in England called Spy. They take 8 ordinary folks who always wanted to be a spy and let thewm train. Every week one goes home who can't measure up.Its on WNED a pbs station--anyone else watching this?

Annnyyyywaaaaay, as Ms. Hilton would say . . . I'm still trying to figure out what Ms. Hilton is looking for in these people so I thought I would do a brief rundown of who's left in this game/contest/joke(?) . . . Jules - Works as store manager but wants to be an event planner with a talk show & already frequents the club life in NYC (seems honest - "Wants to live the high life" but I fear is also delusional, especially in the area of JW) JW - Talks about being a construction worker (many of whom struggle financially) but turns out his daddy owns the business and he's actually currently playing for an Arena Football team. (otherwise seems pretty honest so far in that I don't hear him telling sad stories) Jackaay - Lives in a trailer park and works as a landscape supply clerk (as in Home Depot or Walmart perhaps? - would be a true cinderella story in my opinion) Vanessa - bartender/abstractic artist who studies fashion design by day (sad story - rough childhood. I have to believe this one because of her rough edge and defensiveness) Brendan - works as golf caddy in summer to pay for college where he's working on a degree in broadcasting. (I have a soft spot for this as I have friends whose sons are doing the same. Seems totally honest in that he didn't come up with a way to make Ms. Hilton cry) Niki - Listed age is 23 but I say 28, minimum. It says she has been a synchronized swimmer for 19 years so I guess she begin at age 4? Graduated from Cal Baptist U. in fashion design but currently employed as interior designer. Oh, and not only is she blonde like Paris but she is best friends with her sister. (Big whoop! Her sad story - grandfather died 2 days before start of show after telling her to go for her dreams - I'd like to see the producers verify that) *Note ~ On the front page of Cal Baptist U, their bragging rights are that one of their students is preparing for the Miss America pageant. Ummm, kind of an unusual thing for a college to promote on their front page but I also noticed that "Fashion Design" is not listed anywhere in their list of studies. Hmmmmm Jaret - age 25 (and he looks how much younger then Niki?!), teaches kindergarten and has a twin sister and at one time was the #1 800 meter runner in Texas, an admitted sophisticated redneck (His sad story? To buy his parents a house and he would take over their mobile home) __________________________ My prediction is that Vanessa will not make final two as the family does not want to deal with the counseling/psychotherapy necessary to make her a 'happy' person. Jules is sweet but in the end too shallow and the family already has enough of those. JW will make final three based on his masculine value. Niki might make it to final 3 but only if she dyes her hair dark ala the 'real' Niki. Brendan ~ I like him best but he is too honest and hardworking to qualify for this group. From what I've seen, Ms. Hilton doesn't recognize or value either of those traits. Jaret ~ He might make it to final 2 or 3. I think it depends on how many friends the Hiltons already have who look just like him. Jackaay - She would be the perfect cinderella story but I don't think they'll let her win unless she becomes anorexic and she seems too well adjusted and happy to do that for them. You go girl!

Cable ~ I caught one episode of SPY last year and found it fun as the people really had to think their way through. I'll have to look for it again this year so thanks for the head's up on that.

Your welcome and thank you for that run down of the contestants. I had forgotten most of their backgrounds. I'd like to see how the winner spends their year as a 'Hilton'. But I doubt we'll ever hear about them again.

SPY just finished airing here, I loved it. To get back on the Hilton track.......I have no idea what KH is looking for..that's what's wrong with this show, IMO. It;s sorta like Cubans Benefactor........no set rules. At least with Trump & Ramsay, we have an idea. But I will keep watching......

My reaction tonight? Spoiler ahead . . . . . the final four are Jackaay, Vanessa, JW and Jaret The press conference was a good idea except for the fact that those (such as Vanessa) who didn't have alot to say in their own favor, chose instead to simply make others look bad. And JW calls out Brenden saying he's already been "exposed to the good life". Um, carrying a rich person's golf clubs around only exposes you to the golf course in the same way that a bell hop is exposed to a rich person's luggage and getting a glance at their hotel room. I liked JW before but now think he is just a rich kid and a hipocrite. And then there's little Jaret, crying over Brenden not wanting to be his friend, following Vanessa's lead. I can't help but think that some like Jabe, Brenden and Rashad are just glad to be out of there at this point. If this really is about making a change for the better, Jackaay is the only one who qualifies to win but most likely won't. It will be JW because he does know how to BS and isn't that what really wealthy people are good at and need to learn?

Everytime I watch this show, I think "man, these people get to eat well!" I've been half-heartedly watching this show, and I don't even know what the winner gets. Is it just prize money? Or do they become part of something for a period of time? Also, I can't figure out what Mrs. Hilton is looking for. Is she looking for someone who just improves the most - but still may not be "socialite" material? Or someone who has absorbed all the "lessons", and would be socialite material by the end of the show. I like Jackaay and definitely think she's been the best contestant, but I don't see her being "socialite" material. But at least she'll walk away from this either way with a great experience. I wish she was on the better team at the beginning so she could have enjoyed more of the rewards. I'm thinking Jaret wins.

Besides, no matter how much television exposure you receive getting a $250,000 trust fund (chump change to these people) and an apartment in NYC doesn't make you a "socialite" - at best it might make you an oddity and wangle you an invitation to a few events just because of your celebrity - if these contestants truly think they are going to be "in" with society they are in for a loooooong year.
