Shark Bytes

It was nice that the girls' hearts bled for the less fortunate;this is not the general attitude of the American rich(and perhaps not of the working class). And I think poor people WOULD have liked to have had Ali's oysters.

is there a dvd of the first season out yet??? so i can watch their stupidity all over again....it was funny to watch.

My best friend and I loved this show we were really sad to see it go off In fact we're still some what sad.. lol Ally H & Jaime G rocked! We're hoping maybe the show will come out on DVD so we can watch it all the time woo woo..!!

This show jumped the shark on day one because there was no real plot. All they basically did was shop and travel. You can't make an exciting show out of just shopping and traveling; unless, you enjoy watching a travel and shop show that has an objective--in this case, an objective was clearly lacking. I agree with others that Jamie's personality lacked little to be desired. She seemed to be incessantly depressed and loathsome and it was rather annoying. On the other hand, Ally seemed to be the more mature one of the two and tried to be happy-go-lucky, which seems to have been difficult since Jamie always seems to be moody and depressed. Ally should have told Jamie to stop feeling sorry for herself and count her blessings; especially, since Jamie is one of a privileged few worldwide, who doesn't have to worry about living from one paycheck to the next, or whether or not there will be food on the table. I agree with other posters about her dad. I was shocked when I learned that that was her dad--I honestly thought her dad was her grandfather! Bottom line: the show was dull, so it's no surprise that there was NOT a 2nd season.

When Ali Hilfiger was out for dinner and didn't finish her oysters and was all like "can't you give them to the poor?". Oh yeah, I'm sure the poor want your leftover oysters! Donate some of your millions to them instead of using them to buy cargo pants!!

I only watched to see these stupid girls spend daddys money, and they thought they were smart! Ali,just because Tommys your dad does not mean you know anything about working in the fashion industry

I am so conflicted about this show, that I waited to comment on it until now, long after it's over. I dont have any problem with rich people; I dont feel offended or jealous watching them shop all the time or any of that. And I will refrain from commenting on their physical looks only because it's been done here. I feel a little bad ripping their appearances apart, and what's already been posted will suffice. The reason I feel that the show jumped on Day One is because there was never, not at any time, a point to this show. Yes, these girls are the daughters of wealthy and successful people-but that's the extent of how interesting THEY are as individuals. They are barely 18 during the run of their show, so how complex can they be? That being said, I did regularly watch and saw every episode. They were midly entertaining-it was more voyeurism on my part than anything else. I found Ally Hilfiger to be both interesting and repulsive at the same time. I dont think she knows the first thing about, well, anything, yet she carries herself quite maturely. Jamie just struck me as being totally weird-and once they introduced her parents it became completely clear why. Her dad could be her grandfather and is totally out of touch with anything contemporary, and her mother's wacky. Completely wacky. The scene at dinner when she says she's afraid to die because of her beloved dogs rather than her 2 children? Yikes. The most disgusting moment of this show was when they were actually saying that people in the midwest needed cargo pants to carry tools or whatever. How can they actually believe that? I was honestly fooled into thinking maybe they were halfway smart until I heard that ridiculous statement. I know they're 18 and everyone at one time thinks they know everything and says stupid shit, but hey, you're on national television, think about what you're saying and who's listening. No wonder they only had one season.

I admit, I fell for the ads on MTV, especially that bit about Ally saying that two very important people had told her she let people walk all over her. Who were they? "Two psychics and Liz." I almost did a spit take when she said that. There were so many other cringe inducing moments in this show, like when Jaime, the tag along homely best friend proudly announced that Benjamin Franklin had invented the light bulb and that Ally's intelligence surpasses 99.9% of people's to which Ally responded "what do you mean surpass?" All the endless talk about clothes was also entertaining, especially that bit about one of them knowing that you wear cargo pants with stilettos and a sexy top, and that some from the midwest would buy them because they need extra pockets for their tools for working in the fields. Never mind the fact that something like 2% of this country still farms, but Bill Blass and Halston both came from midwest and became huge designers. So some people in the midwest must know how to dress. This was fantastic comic relief for me, after a day of work and school, my trust fund being nonexistent. I read the point of this show was to show that "rich people" are just like the rest of us working stiffs. No, actually, some of them are horribly ignorant and stupid like these two girls. But I am repeating the other posters, so I will make what I think is an original point. It is a mistake to look at these girls and think they typify behavior of "rich people." First off, we can look at where their money comes from -- Ally Hilfiger, whose father came from a small town and got a license to print money after copying hip hop and WASP-type clothes and reselling them to that consumer base. Jamie Gleicher's father made his fortune selling luggage. In other words, this money is brand-spanking new, so the behavior of these two is pretty typical for this type of people. This show should be called "Noveau Riche Girls." It would be a more fitting title. We shouldn't blame these girls for acting as they did -- money wise. The fact that those incredibly stupid things came out of their mouths is just proof that money does not buy intelligence, just as Jaime so astutely pointed it out, that it also does not buy happiness. The blame for these two and their antics should really go to their parents, who decided to follow the example of a certain heiress who cannot seem to have sex without flipping on the video camera, rather than a Rockefeller or any other family that decided to use their money to do the world good. But again, that money came from a deeply religious man who believed, even before he made his money, in giving a portion of his income to charity. His money came from his business acumen, which did not always take into account other people. John D. Rockefeller later in his life felt guilty for doing such a thing, not something you expect from someone selling overpriced jeans to teenagers. People like the parents of these two have no shame in throwing their wealth in other people's faces and their children took this lesson to heart, instead of questioning it. Result -- this mindlessly entertaining, but ultimately empty show. Note: I heard Ally ended up in rehab after the show and ended her friendship with Jaime. Maybe she was horrified by the way she and Jaime came across?

First airing. I don't waste my time, my precious Tv time which is usually spent reading to watch two girls incessantly shop and ceaselessly bitch. Furthermore, drop the plural and just remain with "Rich Girl," since the Jamie girl's obviously not as opulent as her buddy, and is just embarrassing herself with the established repute as "Sponger." I don't envy the rich, since they're considerably still people, but I can't stand viewing a program comprised of two teens on their daily shopping trips, griping and bellyaching about lack of childhood and other shallow-oriented issues. I don't care, this is why Dr. Phil is here.

This is a "Day One" jump if there ever was one. Who on earth planned their week around this show?! Watching two ugly, spoiled teenagers mope through life is no way to use a half hour. Ali's temper tantrum in one episode is reason enough to hate this show: Wow.

I just wanted to say, and maybe you will agree with me, is that this show really confirms the stereotype of rich people. Need a example? That Michael kid (friend of Jaime and Ali) is the personification of every whiny, preppy, spoiled rich kid that I ever saw on tv or in movies! And another thing, what's the obsession of rich people or maybe New Yorkers in genera (no offense to NY-ers or fanatic dog lovers), with DOGS???? I think that love for your pet is alright, but I find this kind of attention a bit strange. When Jamie was visiting her aunt, the center of the attention was her aunt's dog!! And Jamie's mum is just as bad. I think that Jamie and Ali are okay, but I do envy them sometimes. I don't think being rich is all that it is cracked up to be, but I wish I could charter a plane to London or some exotic place every time I was feeling depressed. Or if only I could shop around all day and never had to worry about a budget limit. I don't know, maybe the grass is always greener than you think it is. Anyway, 'Rich Girls' is a nice show to watch, even though if it's in contradiction of what it's original intention; showing how rich people are just as normal as anybody else.

So, money really can't buy everything. I'm from the UK, and always hear comments on U.S programmes about "the british and their bad teeth", (which is a really bad stereotype.) Obviously these two apparently rich american girls can't even afford decent dental care. Must be 'cause all their money goes on education - oh hold on, it can't, because theyre both (ali particularly) thick as pig s**t. So exactly where does all their money go? Oh, on clothes.... but does spending an obscene amount on clothes really make you look any better.... as proven by these two, obviously not. The episode where ali had to go buy ingredients to cook a meal with made me cringe - not only was she so pathetic that she couldnt even shop without round-the-clock help, she got so majorly stressed while cooking she abruptly cut off her supposed friend mid-conversation to complain about how awful and upsetting cooking is. And they say money cant change them - so, if they'd been poor they still wouldnt know how to cook, shop or do anything for themselves....? Riiiight.

To the above two posts, Alli and Jamie, welcome to JTS.

This show never jumped the shark. It was a great show and everyone who disliked it should just be quite. And if you really disliked it so much why'd you keep watching it? Everyone is just so jealous. Please, get over yourself. Oh, and one more thing. If they're so ugly, why do they have their own TV show? If you're so much better, you try and do what they do and report back to me on how well you passed (well, you won't because I live in New York too and my life is similar to Ally's and Jamie's. They do a lot and they did show a valuable lesson- money doesn't buy happiness!!) All of you that hate it just grow up.

Rich Girls was a great show!!! All of you who are trashing Ally and Jaime are just jealous! They care about the people in Ethiopia and were going to go out there to help them...and they always talk about world issues and how they appreciate what they have...unlike Paris Hilton who only talks about her fairy tale life and all of the crap she has. Look at the difference between them...Paris parties every night, gets drunk, has sex with people she barely knows...and Ally and Jaime spend their time learning about the children in Ethiopia and spending time with their families and going after their dreams in life. They are a great example and I can't wait until the second season!! These two are the most down to earth "rich girls" I have ever seen...and they deserve all of the luxuries that they have. THEY ROCK!!!!!
