American Princess runs on Sunday evenings on the WE channel. Caught the first episode last night and I'm ready to catch the next one. Ten contestants made the cut to go to London to continue: Stephanie J ~ I loved her comments about her love for her trailer! She reminds me of an actress from back in the '70's but I can't place it. Crystal ~ I Instantly liked this lady and hopes she goes far. She's strong from having been around the block but her 'attitude' is one I can relate to. It's there but she is still appreciative of what this contest has to offer in the was of life experiences. Molly ~ the perfect Cinderella in the making. Giving her contacts alone will do so much. Even if she doesn't go far, I think this is going to be a great experience for her. Atlanta ~ I want to root for her as she's from Northern California but the crying has got to stop already! Angela S ~ I could root for her if she drops the 'I am who I am and I'm not going to change' routine. Seriously, you come on a show that is about CHANGING you into a princess and loudly announce no one can change you? There are five other contestants but after one episode, I am left with little impression of them.

I caught the last part of this last night. Totally agree about Angela S (that was the one with the jeans and glitter halter, right?). It seemed a shame that she was allowed to move on instead of one of the other girls. She basically gave them the middle finger and they passed her through because they probably figured she'd make for "good TV." I don't know their names, but I have a feeling the winner will be that first girl they called out at the end. She seemed the most appreciative and had a grace about her.

I'm still rooting for Crystal even if she doesn't stand a chance. I'm really happy they found her a different dress. Molly ~ ???? The crying over listening to people argue was a bit much. I'm just happy that she's gotten to see some of the world outside of her home. Angela S will probably win and maybe that's why the editing in the first episode made her look so bad - to try and show how far she's come. This is such a frivolous show but it's fun to see the experiences they're providing them.

Didn't Angela S. get sent home? And are we the only two people who've been watching this? I liked Crystal until that restaurant incident. When you're in a contest to become an American princess you should be more mindful of how you behave in public. Not only did the women behave in a disgusting manner with the waiter, but Crystal compounded it by acting like the stereotypical "ugly American" rather than acknowledging their crudeness and apologizing. At least Angela the drama queen had enough class to go over and apologize. I felt bad for Molly, although her reaction was so extreme. She looked so embarrassed to have to be associated with them when they were talking to the waiter like that. She wasn't only crying because they argued, but because she was humiliated by the group's behavior and she felt guilty by association. Had it been me I would've excused myself and left the minute the crude talk began. Richard Branson really fawned over that blonde girl (Stephanie is it?). Carol had a great makeover. Someone should tell Molly that she's 19, because she seems to think she's 89 when she picks out her clothes. Sweet girl but she needs to be less resistant to the makeovers. I noticed at the end of the show there's the same disclaimer that appears at the end of The Apprentice. NBC and the producers had some input into who got dismissed, so it wasn't just left up to the judges.

Hey there!! Guess who - its me Angella S. I like what you wrote about me (especially the giving them the middle finger comment). I LOVED how the first episode turned out. In case you care, I did not know what the premise of the show TRULY was until I got to the show. I was trying out for the American Princess -- not the English princess ;-) I am pretty sure there is another Website chatting about AP so I think there may be more than the two of you watching ;-) Thanks for watching... Angella S.

Angelicfairies, the WE channel re-airs the episodes throughout the week. I think it's on again tonight at 11 (eastern), then again on Saturday at noon and Sunday night at 9 right before the next new episode airs. Angella, if I can trust that this is THE Angella S. (the WE website spells the name differently) it sounds like you got the Joe Millionaire treatment (kept in the dark about what you were getting into).

Hey - Yeah I was TOTALLY in the dark -- as were most of us. At least I made a few friends along the way ;-) And yes this is me...the show spells my name correctly, the website does not -- oh well -- Id be happy to answer any questions (that I legally can)... Later - Angella S

So Angella ~ I guess it's safe to say my guess of you winning was totally off, eh? So it's down to four now and I'm not really sure what they are looking for here. Do they want an American version of Diana or what? It's not like the winner is going to actually hang out in the Queen's garden as one of them commented. I wasn't surprised to see Crystal go even though she was my favorite. But I like how she left and how the girls felt about her.

I totally forgot to watch this week. Thanks for the update, Kappy. I'll have to catch one of the reruns. I think that since it's actually an English title that's the prize, they're holding these women to the English standards of high society behavior. What I'd like to know is how on earth they can give a real British title away as a prize. Don't you have to be born into a title?

Lol, Curly ~ thank God someone besides me is watching! I think by putting 'American' in front of it, it's obvious that the title means nothing beyond this show.

Hey, I'm watching too! I think the girl that won the shooting match will win. I noticed that they show 2003 on the credits. I wonder when this was filmed.

On the WE board they have talked about how this show was filmed two years ago. It must've been meant for NBC and then got shelved. Some of the contestants have been posting there as well.
