Apparently, Frankie is the ladies man. We know this because, well, that's what all the guys say. He's not particularly charming or attractive, but hey, MTV needs to meet its Ladies Man quotas, so why not? Frankie pretty much spends his time trolling around the streets of Westwood, complimenting random girls (unless they slap him, which one lucky girl does). In the premiere, he was charged with getting as many girls to Casablanca for the opening as possible, and of course, since he had MTV camera crews following him, it wasn't terribly difficult for him to wrangle up a gaggle of hotties, all looking for their time in the spotlight. (Sadly, I actually recognized someone I vaguely know. Sigh.) The bad news for Frankie was that he'd told so many girls about the open bar that Greg was sure to hear it from Sir British Investor. Not a problem, Frankie said. He knew just how to deal with the situation. While Greg was meeting with the investor, Frankie showed up with a hot girl in each arm. The three sat down with Greg and the investor, and after some smooth talking from the girls, the curmudgeonly old coot softened up and said OKAY! I gueeessss we can open bar!!! Frankie to the rescue! What a wonderful, completely uncontrived and unstaged outcome!


Matt

matt121206

The resident pretty boy of the bunch, Matt's an aspiring actor who has an uncanny resemblance to Jamie Gertz. Not sure if that's a good thing. When it comes to Hollywood WB types, they're a dime a dozen, and Matt looks like any number of douchebags that crawl all over my gym. We don't know much about him (except that vapidity oozes out of his every pore), and his contributions to the premiere episode never extended beyond smiling and brushing off jokes about his sex life.


Ty

ty121206

Ty is the group's filmmaker/auteur/black person. He's written and directed a movie called Miles From Home, and after babbling about its awesome premiere, he pretty much disappeared from the first episode, popping up only occasionally to plaster Miles From Home posters all over Casablanca. Glancing at his IMDb, he seems to have a legitimate list of aspiring actor credits, and it wouldn't surprise me if this group were actually leeching off of him way more than MTV would suggest.


Whitman

Whitman121206

Whitman (no relation to Walt) is, well, I don't really know what he does. I'm pretty sure he's the Prom Kings' producer, although, like all the other "occupations" that everyone has, he seems like a kid playing "Grown Up." Kind of like a middle school play. Whitman does pretty much nothing but look trendy with his highlights and assorted finger jewelry. Based on the law of average, he'll probably do something idiotic and noteworthy soon.

And that's pretty much it for the cast. Did you see the premiere? What did you think about it?

Apparently Greg is "dating" LC from Laguna Beach/The Hills...he was her date to some part last week or something...it's like they just date within their own sick little reality pool...

I wasn't going to watch this show but I love The Prom Kings. I know I'll get hooked.

Damn you MTV.

RealityMonkey Author Profile Page:

All the promos led me to believe this would be a poor man's Entourage. But if you're going to watch, B-Side, and if there's a LC connection, then I know I'll get sucked in too.

Ty is the group's filmmaker/auteur/black person.

Also, I really enjoyed that comment.

Greg is actually Haylie Duff's boyfriend(Hilary's sister). He mentioned it in the beginning of the episode when he threw her a birthday party.

I haven't seen this show and i don't doubt how dumb cipes is, but his water molecule theory is actually true. I'm assuming he's referring to an experiement by Dr. Masuro Emoto, made famous in the movie "what the bleep do we know?" It's actually pretty cool.

I think that little Cipes has taken the idiot course taught by that silly movie what the bleep do we know. I am sure he saw that and it blew his mind. Some dildo writes words on glasses of water and then leaves them over night and then says that the nice words make pretty cellular structures and the mean words make ugly ones. It is as dumb as it sounds and Cipes is as dumb as he looks. I look forward to the whole season.

I like how Ty's IMDB trivia is:

"Has brown hair and eyes"

Wow. That's trivia, man.

I watched this show on mute when I was on the phone with my grandma, and the closed captions were making me cringe. I can't imagine what it was like to have audio along with it.

Chani Author Profile Page:

I think what Cipes was talking about (the water thing) was a theory discussed in the movie "What the Bleep do we know". There's also a book called "The hidden Messages in Water" that talks more about it. I have the book and keep it on my toilet, fitten eh? People always ask me about it after a trip :P

B-Side Author Profile Page:

WELL! If it was in a movie, then by all means, it's true!

btw, wasn't the whole deal with "What the bleep do we know?" that it was a recruitment tool for a cult?

they got the show because the main guy dates haylie duff (as has been said).

Honestly, this show is insulting.

Worst tv ever.

wait, that wasn't strong enough.

Are there any Nielsen family readers out there? PLEASE don't watch this. Maybe it will get cancelled. It makes me angry when I see it in the TV listings.

B-Side Author Profile Page:

There are so many of these douchebags all throughout hollywood, and the worst part about these shows is that they glorify them. So upsetting.

"Things you don't want to mention out loud to anyone that is not deaf" for $500, Alex.

Wow B-Side.. thank goodness you're recapping this show so that I have an outlet for my emotions. Greg does seem pretty normal.. though his nasaly voice irritates the heck outta me.

Cipes whole stoner vibe is so contrived! He looks about eleventeen. And I think Ty is lightweight gay. He was on "Evens Stevens" on the Disney Channel.. and he arched his eyebrow + crossed his arms too naturally for my taste.

pjtvqueen Author Profile Page:

This show sucked. All around. The guys are boring, not very attractive, and I have no interest in how they whore themselves out to become famous. I'll read the recaps because B-Side, you're just too funny to pass up, but I won't be watching. There are enough idiots walking around that I can watch, I don't want to encourage them on TV.

anniedawg25 Author Profile Page:

well, I did see the premiere and I am already sucked into the suckiness of this show. Thank God B-Side is going to recap this, because now I can feel less guilty....uhhh yeah, I am only watching STRICLTY for the sake of research for the TVgasm boards...uhhh yeah, that's it.

Anyway these are the biggest tools on the face of the earth. Why, Hillary Duff...WHYYYYYY?

Please tell me NOT everyone in LA acts like this.

And Cipes...WTF? Total Jesse Camp ripoff right there.

Ozone Dude Author Profile Page:

Oi. If these guys are supposed to be the lovable assholes of Entourage, I'm only getting the asshole part. Really, they remind of every bad stereotype of our fair city that all visitors see and throw in our faces.

chasgoose Author Profile Page:

My favorite part is that Ty Hodges named the main character(played by himself, natch) in his gritty, hard-hitting indie movie after a bit part he played on that old Disney Channel show The Famous Jett Jackson. Changing the y in Myles to an i doesn't make it different.

yaytv Author Profile Page:

I thought the end was kind of funny, I actually want to see the next episode to see why whathisname got arrested.

fiction Author Profile Page:

I like how in the first EP they pretended Chris got arrested the night of the club opening yet in the second EP you'll notice that he all of a sudden has a mohawk! Unless his hair grows a few inches a night, the whole fight in the apartment followed by a jail house phone call was very staged...

Ash Author Profile Page:

This show is SO BORING! I'm trying to watch the second episode right now... and I really don't think effort and TV go together.

fiction Author Profile Page:

I don't think he was actually arrested, it was all fake.

This is a pretty funny twentyfourseven spoof:

Cipes is an actor: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0996651/

ccknows Author Profile Page:

OMG! I knew that Cipes kid had to be an actor! No one can be that retarded. He was Veronica Mars' little brother when she guest starred on Deadwood as a kid hooker. He's really gone way down hill in his acting career.

Ubiquitous Author Profile Page:

Do these programming monkies think we don't know how to search the Internet or something?

alex Author Profile Page:

I think all of you guys need to stop thinking so negatively about shows like this.. yes some are probably fake or something but not every show in the world is gonna be staged.. and then if it's not staged you guys say it's shit because it's not fun.. but everytime something exciting happens or something you guys say it's set up it's stupid.. I think Cipes is awesome and I think his band was the shit!!
