The new series, to be co-produced by major reality-TV production house Endemol USA and the Hiltons (Kathy and hubby Rick), reverses the premise of The Simple Life, as 14 young contestants are taught by Kathy how to fit into high society while they vie for the chance at winning at $200,000 trust fund, a new apartment, wardrobe and the opportunity to live like a Hilton for a year. Each week Hilton eliminates those who can’t cut it in the high society lifestyle.less «

    I really, really enjoyed this show a couple years back. I thought it was excellent. hide « show »

    I LOVED this show. I was so disappointed when it didn't return for another season. Tragic. I think Kathy Hilton came off as a really warm, inviting person. She seemed very motherly. I loved the different tasks the contestants had to do. I liked the contestants. I likes how they fought with each other, of course. It was really a terrific show to watch. I would love for them to bring it back. I think this show was for people who like the glamorous life and and are genuinely interested in the rich and famous. That's me to a tee. I hope one day they bring it back.

    Am I the only one who likes this show? hide « show »

    I love this show and I can't beleive they only had one season! I love those kind of show where you compete for something by doing all these different tasks. I can't really say anything bad about this show except for Kathy is to fancy. But I really hope that they have a new season or at least that first season comes out on DVD. I looked forward for every Tuesday when it went on. I always was said this to my mom,"can I stay up a little bit later tonight? It's Tuesday and I want to be a Hilton is on."

    I don't care how much money she has, until she can control her own family, Mama Hilton can't teach me a thing. hide « show »

    She definitely can't teach me the value of a dollar, how to value people over money or how to have a generous spirit. Which are things I doubt anyone in the Hilton family can teach. This shows and proves that money isn't everything. You can learn manners and etiquette from Ms. Manners or simple trial and error. There are far too many rich people that I've encountered who don't have the decorum God gave a chimp. Not that Mama Hilton is one of them, but let's not give her the opportunity to prove me wrong. Reality TV in general is punishment enough rather than watching 'richies' try to teach real people how to be more 'civilized'-please.

    The Simple Life wasn't any good, this one's even worse. hide « show »

    A show from the mom of Paris Hilton, the Hilton's must be a very very nice family. This show is awful, it's just awful. This show is not like the simple life, this show is like a contest using the formula used by survivor or fear factor. This show is just awful, it doesn't have a hook that can make a person watch it. This show is a cheaply produced reality contest show. Not much thought was given on the premise of the show, I wonder why nobody watched it, this show is just awful. I can't stand watching 10 mintues of this show.

    Why not just hit yourself in the head with a hammer repeatedly? hide « show »

    If you really want to be a Hilton, why not just hit yourself in the head with a hammer repeatedly? This would be better than going on this show for several reasons.

    1- It would save your family from years of ridicule.

    2- After stunning yourself you might actually think you are a Hilton, solving your problem.

    3- If you cause brain damage, you might end up as smart as Paris.

    4- You might knock some sense into yourself and realize wanting to be a Hilton is an idiotic goal in the first place.

    5- As long as you don’t hit yourself in the face, no one will know, while the people on the show will know nothing but mockery and ridicule for the rest of their lives.

    6- None of the people on the show are going to be Hiltons. They may be complete jokes, like the Hiltons, but they won’t BE Hiltons.
