I saw the new TV show,.."I Want To Be a Hilton," last night on TV and found yet again what it is that I dislike about about folks, who like to set other folks up for what I call "The Big Fall." Some young folks, who are politely termed "contestents," are for the amusement of the "upper crust" set up in situations in which they are sooner or later doomed to fail as they have no experience as to how to deal realistically with those situations.

I have a feeling that the longer that these "contestents" are in the contest,..the worse its going to get for them as they try harder and harder to compete to "please" their judges, who will set up even more difficult situations for these young folks to overcome until they get down to the "lucky" individual, who will finally get to live the "good life" for a period of time.

Last night's test was based on a lie. The whole group of contestents thought that they were going to get to eat dinner with a group of "the upper crust" at the "21" Club in New York. This was supposed to be a great treat and all of the young folks had to get themselves dressed up in their best clothes for this "great honor." They had a crash course in manners and got on their fancy clothes,..all set to go out and eat dinner in a wonderful restaurant and show off what they had learned.

You should have seen their faces fall when they found out that they were not to be REALLY included at the "banquet." They had spent the entire evening waiting for this great outing only to be told that they were to pass the time giving instructions via microphone to the one member of their little band,..who had not been taught manners,..but sent out to buy a gift for the "hostess," and who would have no idea as to how to act amongst "society" folks at dinner.

The young fellow, who got to go eat in the "dining" room at the "21" Club,..probably had a sense of the fact that he was not there to enjoy dinner but to provide amusement for a wealthy woman and her friends. To me, he had more dignity than the whole crowd of the "people" who came to be amused.

As the group of young folks, who "Want To Be Hiltons,..met to decide just who would be the first person to be kicked off the show would be,..the bickering reached new heights among the contestents even for a "reality" show. One was supposed to feel suspense, I guess,..as to who would be judged "most unworthy" to live out the extent of the contest in the posh contestent pad.

The "loser" was a young man, who didn't seem to have much to say about anything. The whole show, he had seemed to have been more stunned to have even been included among the contestents and included in the competition. When he was told that he no longer qualified to "continue,"...he took it with a sort of "stunned" good grace.

I had to battle with my husband the whole time to get to watch the show to the end. He was totally digusted.
