NYC Prep, Episode 5: "The Overachievers"
Wondering why Ariel Moses' much awaited Twitterfic Round-up is a day late? No, she wasn't out partying it up with Kelli and PC again, but it's because everyone here (and across the country it seems), has caught a bad case of Gohan fever. Yes, that's right - Jon Gosselin and Michael Lohan's bromance made me put Ariel's NYC Prep's tweets on the backburner for a day, and boy are we feeling the backlash.
After nearly forty (yes, forty!) direct messages on twitter, and countless other forms of scalding, she's begging me to put these up so people will get off her back. Who knew that her tweets have become your latest guilty pleasure? And that so many of you DVR the show to follow along? And this week certainly certainly was doozy - Devorah Rose giving the kids dating advice, stage moms filling up the screen, and enough pedophile references, we temporarily wondered if the show was a spin-off of To Catch A Predator.
In case you have absolutely NO idea what I'm talking about, let me give you some background: even though born and bred Upper East Sider Ariel Moses swore she would never watch the inane Bravo show NYC Prep, I somehow talked the Horace Mann and Columbia educated New Yorker into submitting herself to the incessant nonsense that is the Gossip Girl knock-off… 5 times now! Afterall, being a transplant, I could never fully understand what these kids are talking about (besides that they sound like absolute idiots…again… and again…and again). And what better way for Ariel to express her true feelings about the “real”ity show than on Twitter!

Wow. And we thought nothing could be better than Kristian Lalibarte's cameo in the premiere episode. Looks like we were wrong. Devorah dominated those 12 16 year-olds in the dating advice department. So what could top that? Oh, oh! We know! The fact that PC Peterson and Baron Hilton were out partying together all last week. Those two are practically inseperable. Everywhere Ariel goes it seems, there they are. The Gramercy Park Hotel last Wednesday. The Dune parking lot in the Hamptons on Friday, bumming cigs off Team GofG Hamptons and their friends. And she even chatted it up with PC at the Bridgehampton Polo on Saturday. Looks like even with a cast on his arm, PC's able to keep up with his "sex, drugs & rock n' roll"... and new bestie Baron Hilton. Bets on Baron being the next cameo? We'd love to see Ariel's tweets on that one. And make sure to follow her at @arielilana every Tuesday for her Twitterific tweet round-up of NYC Prep!
