Last night Bravo premiered their ‘real life’ version of Gossip Girl, NYC Prep. Despite it being loosely based on one of our favorite shows, we mostly found ourselves annoyed. Oddly enough, following the adventures of actual minors as they shopped, dated and engaged in underage drinking, wasn’t all that appealing. Don’t get us wrong, the show wasn’t a complete fail and a few of the kids even reminded us of our favorite fictional Upper East Siders. There was a Little Jenny, an underclassman vying for acceptance in the prep social scene. A couple Chuck Basses; one by way of PC (he needs a cooler name), who is a cocky senior with impeccable style and a typical ‘I run New York’ attitude. The other, a sophomore named Sebastian whose playboy-like ways also reminded us of the Chuck Bass of old. There was even an overachieving, headband wearing Blair Waldorf.
Overall, NYC Prep had its moments and their high school drama sparked our interest enough to watch next week. If anything, we’ll be tuning in to see what they’ll be wearing.
