14 Contestants - One Will Win The Life of a Hilton

Everyone's heard of the Hiltons, especially socialites Paris and Nicky, but what would it take to actually live like them?

Kathy Hilton (mom to Paris and Nicky) hosts this engaging and humorous series that follows 14 eccentric young contestants as they vie for the opportunity to live the glamorous lifestyle of high society. Kathy Hilton guides the contestants through a variety of weekly challenges set in glamorous Manhattan and ranging from art and culture to beauty and fashion. Each week Kathy eliminates those who "didn't make the list." The finalist will win an extravagant prize package including a $200,000 trust fund!

NBC Show Site

I have high hopes for this one.

I want this family to just go away.
On simple life, i thought nicole was way funnier than paris.
nicki hilton marries someone for 1 month, paris is all fake....fake hair color, fake eye color, she can't sing, can't act. all she is famous for is partying (and oh yeah, that movie) and for having very rich parents.
she poses the same in every photo. smiles the same in every photo.

Has anyone seen the add for this where the guy talks about how they've been bombarded with all this stuff about etiquette to make them "more (pauses and tries to come up with a word) etiquette"? More etiquette, huh? Well, I guess we can tell right now that he won't be winning!

Aren't there enough Hiltons? What lessons are there? How to wear Heatherette with no undies? How to tape yourself talking on your cell phone during sex? How about the best way to hold your cell phone when you take your topless pics? Tips on how to look like you understand those big words? That's hot.

what kind of elistist crap is this, "you don't make the list?" I use that phrase only jokingly with friends as in "you're off the list." It's a joke and taken as such. Based on the fact that her own daughter couldn't make a "cultured" list due to on all the photographs of Paris' bare crotch floating around the internet, I don't think Mrs. Hilton should be handing out tips. I'd rather see one of the aged doyennes of the New York social scene take on this project. Probably won't stop me from watching, though.

So basically a $200,000 trust fund will make a Hilton?

I'd take the money and skip the last name, thank you very much. I think I'll be skipping this show too! :-)

C'mon, at least the first episode, right?? It's got to be more original than Real World #36 Austin!

Well...... I "might" watch if there's nothing else on at the same time. I've seen previews of the show and saw a preview of the mother and Paris on Leno - didn't watch because she turned me off so much just on the previews! Yeah, RR is getting OLD. I haven't even checked out the new one. They're kinda good when they run them on weekends when there's nothing else on. :-)

I nearly choked when Kathy Hilton said, "You must try to control your sexuality." LOL

Reader, the gay(?) hispanic(?) guy was cut, the perfume salesman. Guy with a foreign accent. Alain? He was not assertive enough.

It came down to him and Latricia. She was being TOO assertive. She was overjoyed to stay in the game.

They complained about Latricia acting like their mother, BUT she was the one who made sure her team was appropriately dressed. You didn't see the guys on her team going to dinner at 21 without jackets.

Who was cut....the young man whose name I can't remember, but who sells perfumes I think and who didn't contribute to the earpiece coaching of their group member at dinner...looked up his name, it's Alain from LA, originally from Romania...

The girl who played "coach" from the winning team seemed so composed & informative to their guy with the ear piece & that's why her team won. I think she's the front runner (so far). The loosers lost because they tried to let everyone coach instead of just sticking to one person.

It's just another copy of The Apprentice. I only hope that the show will contribute to making people more aware of the importance of "gracious" living, excellent manners and politeness in general.
I thought Martha Stewart did all that but it won't hurt to see more of this.
It's also admirable to see such an incredible rich woman doing all this educating when it's obvious she isn't doing it for the money, she's got enough of that already.

Texasdeb, who was the girl who played "coach" on the winning team? I got confused somewhere along the line as to who she was, but thought she did a good job!~Beth
PS Why DOES this show remind me so much of the Apprentice?? New York setting, wealthy lifestyle, what else?

Ok, I CONFESS...... I watched it!!!!!! LOL I noticed Mrs. Hilton didn't teach the people to say "That's HOT!" I thought that was an essential for being a Hilton. LOL I couldn't believe the guy had the name put on that 10 frickin pounds of chocolate, on the wrapping paper with MAGIC MARKER?!!!! OY!!!!!! LOL I swear sometimes when they'd show some of them from behind, I thought a couple of the blondes were Paris. I wonder if that will give them an edge?! LOL I guess it's sort of fun "blather" when nothing else is on.

Clutter, I didn't pick up on the winning "coach's" name either but I think she is one of the ones that is similar to Paris from behind.

Did they have to go out and pick the strangest people in the world? There is no "normal" person in this group as far as I can see (of course they are the usual "actor wannabes" that are so prevelant in reality television these days).

Other Apprentice things - great reward to the winners, losers get to come to the "house" (substitute for boardroom) to get eliminated and to discuss and point fingers...gee, have we see this before.

Does Endmol do Apprentice too?

I find it peculiar that a Hilton is giving lessons in etiquette and manners. It’s like the Tyco guy giving lessons in fairness and money management.

Regardless I’ll continue to watch. It smacked a little of “My Big Fat Fiancé/Boss because of the narration and the fast one they pulled about only one person going into the dinner party.

I figured that if you raise a daughter like Paris that you might rethink giving advice on ANYTHING. Certainly no one would accuse Paris of being full of etiquette or manners. .

What about the black haired girl singing "Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this"?
When they were asked if they had anything more to say before she made her decision. It got real quiet.

I think the singing girl is nuts. And annoying. I really, really wanted her to be the one voted off. Wonder what she would have sung then?! I guess I will have to come up with my own song for when it happens. Maybe "Another One Bites the Dust?"
