After weeks of watching poorly behaved party girls make somewhat feeble attempts at becoming proper ladies (e.g. wearing plaid skirts instead of hot pants and describing themselves as "glamour models" instead of Internet porn stars), The Girls of Hedsor Hall came to a surprisingly moving close this weekend as Kimberly was crowned the winner.
Unlike a lot of the other contestants, Kim took (almost) every challenge seriously and rose to (almost) every occasion, and we're pretty psyched that she was the one to be awarded the 100k.
We reached out to Kim recently to see how her life's been going post Hedsor Hall. Check out her update below!
The most frequent question I get asked since I've been home from Hedsor Hall is, "So are you a lady now?" My response is always "of course," sometimes jokingly followed by a "When wasn't I?"
My main goals going into the show were to learn how to control my drinking and get a greater sense of maturity. I can definitely say that I reached both of those goals. Although there was nothing specific that went on during my stay in Hedsor Hall to help control my drinking, being there just made me realize that it was time to take matters into my own hands and try to help myself. I'm not going to lie and say I don't drink or go out and party anymore. However, I never want to be, or intend to be, a blackout girl lifting her dress in the street and falling all over herself, as all of you got to see.

"The snow is beginning to fall and tonight, so should one of you," chirped Headmistress Harbord, somewhat pretentiously. Moments later, somber-faced Samantha was asked to turn in her pearls on the eve of graduation. Her fatal flaws? An "over-the-top" purple blouse, inedible quail pie (is there any other kind??) and a flower arrangement that Hedsor's headmistress described as "completely inappropriate."

With less than 24 hours to go before the Hedsor Hall finale, it's time to tell us which of the three remaining girls deserves the $100,000 trust and the satisfaction of knowing she's the best damn flower arranger on campus.
So take our poll and tell us which who's leaving Hedsor with etiquette coming out the wazoo (and a check for 100 G's), then tune in tomorrow at 12pm to see how your predictions held up!
As the girls get closer to graduation, they'll be forced to confront every decision they've made at Hedsor Hall. (And yes, that includes the night Kim and Sam played host to those beautiful British boys.) Think Brianna and the gang will crumble under the pressure of the (uber-intense!) interrogation? Or look back proudly on how far they've come?
Check out these scenes from Saturday's Hedsor and tell us who's sitting and pretty -- who needs a cheat sheet (and a miracle!) to pass her final exams ...
There was no lack of tears at the end of Saturday's episode of Hedsor Hall, in which Mrs. Shrager, Tara Conner and Headmistress Harbord reluctantly said goodbye to Hillary for not being assertive enough with the new girls a.k.a. Hellish Bitches of Britain. And while leaving England was a sad occasion, Hillary quickly recovered her loss with an airport proposal from her bf! Check out her update below...
I didn't realize how much I'd adapted to being in England until I was asked to leave Hedsor Hall. Once I was back in The States, I missed so many things -- even the pervy but sweet audio techs having to set up our boob mics, Mrs. Shrager mispronouncing EVERYONE’s name and how sincerely nice Tara Conner was to all of us. But coming home wasn’t all that bad...
After an eight-hour flight, all I could think of was getting back to my house where I could see my boyfriend and my five tiny dogs. As I was walking out of the terminal and then down the airport escalator, I saw a familiar face. My boyfriend was standing there holding a sign, and on that sign was a list of things he loved about me. (It reminded me of one of my favorite British romantic movies!) I had missed him so much that I just started to cry, which I had never done as much as I had done in England lol.

Don't get us wrong -- we've grown to love Sam's perky Midwestern accent, Kim's self-congratulatory pep talks and Brianna's unexpected metamorphosis from pole-dancer to prude. But watching Hillary's tear-streaked exit this week made us feel a little bit like crying ourselves.
The way we see it? Mild-mannered Hillary had approximately zero chance of reigning in those obnoxious newbies. And since Ms. Shrager expelled them two seconds later, it's obvious the professors couldn't do much better.
+ Think the review board made the right decision by giving Hil her walking papers? Or did Kim's aggressive confrontation with Kerry prove that assertiveness isn't always the answer? Take our poll and let us know which of the final four girls you would've sent home.
Admit it, you totally LIKE watching people humiliate themselves on national tv. And a part of you really, really enjoyed watching the Hedsor girls eff up their interviews with the hoity-toity hotel manager on this week's ep. But whose awesomely bad interview was the most entertaining? Review the evidence, then rock the vote!

Sure, Jenna shouldn't have lied about getting arrested or "yelled at the restaurant guy" for dissing her toiler-scrubbing skills. But ultimately, it was her refusal to break down and cry in front the student review board that sent her packing. Unlike Hillary, Kim, Sam and Brianna, who let the tears flow freely, Jenna subbornly insisted on staying dry-eyed throughout the interrogation, passing up several good opportunities to sob and yell stilted cliches (like "I want to change!" or "Help me be a better Jenna!").

Although some of the makeovers were more drastic than others (are we nuts, or did Brianna look EXACTLY THE SAME?!), at the end of the day, Hillary definitely wins the award for Most Improved. Take another look at these before (and after!) shots, and admire her ability to rock a short brown 'do without looking even remotely like Harry Potter.
You go, girl! (Oops, we mean "lady.")
Road trip! The girls are heading to London to learn the ladylike business of running a fleabag hotel. And natch, this endeavor will require the girls to answer phones, unclog toilets and change poopy bedsheets. (You know, just like real society women do!) Think Brianna, Sam and the others can stop crying long enough to channel their inner Maid in Manhattan? Peep these scenes from next week's eppy and see for yourself!
