If you wanna be Paris Hilton's new BFF, you have to be willing to do exactly what she says. If not? Our guess is there's a Virgin Atlantic plane ticket with your name on it. Paris already gave the boot to four girls who rubbed her the wrong way. So who's next? Check out our scouting report for the crop of friends-in-training to see who's sitting pretty -- and who's one wrong move away from getting TTYL-ed.
First up, our votes for the top three: Onch, Shelley and Vanessa.

Sure, Onch's a bit over-the-top, but the "boy-girl in pigtails" (as Corrie described him) is also instantly likable and practically screams "I'M FUN." But we're not willing to write Shelley off. True, she's a little on the innocent side (not to mention totally religious, y'all!) but instead of being annoying and prudish about it -- like the already-eliminated Trisha -- she comes across as cute and endearing. But let's not forget about Vanessa. The blonde-turned-brunette quickly established herself as a snitch which earned her the coveted role as Paris' pet. But tattling on your friends can be a double-edged sword. And in the long run, throwing your friends under the bus may not be the best way to prove your trustworthiness.
After the jump, our picks for the bottom of the barrel: Read more...

Paris Hilton's made it clear that she has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to "deppys" (which equals "desperate" peeps, obvs). And since she's not looking to take on any charity cases, she sent the first four girls from the Paris Hilton's My New BFF premiere packing before you can say "TTYN." So what went wrong? I've taken another look at the girls' behavior to find out why their first impressions were also their last.

Potential BFF: Erin
Memorable quotes: "I'm ready for America, come get me" and "I definitely know that I made a great impression tonight."
Memorable gaff: Repeatedly spitting on Jeff Beacher during the interrogation. Also, we know this doesn't count as a reason (since your fate was already sealed) but screaming "OMG, we're going to London!" didn't exactly make for the most graceful exit.
Why it didn't work out: We think this chick was just too loud for Paris. Erin, you may have been ready for the masses, but unfortunately, the masses just weren't ready for you.

Potential BFF: Athena
Memorable quote:"I just feel like I'm pledging all over again."
Memorable gaff: Talking nonstop about your boring sorority. OMG, you were in SDT? We weren't! And by our count, you bragged about sorority life at least four or five times before we completely stopped listening.
Why it didn't work out: Paris is a huge international celebrity, she's not impressed by your stories about forcing some girl to do a keg-stand at the SDT formal. Also, it couldn't have helped that Athena's voice sounds like fingernails scratching on a chalkboard (or worse, Scarlett Johansson's singing voice).

Real World/Road Rules Challenges are like potato chips — once you start, you can’t get enough. Which is why I’ll be sifting through the ‘Challenge Dailies‘ each afternoon to make sure you’re getting your fill of the crazy castaways. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)
For those of you who never saw Real World: Sydney, here's a quick recap. A mean girl named Trisha (or as we called her, Trish the Dish) was sent home after assaulting one of her roomies (read: lightly shoving Parisa in the hallway). As a result, Ashli was flown in to take her place and it wasn't long before she and Dunbar were circling each other like a pair of rabid dogs.
But this was not to be a romance of the ages. Things quickly soured when Dunbar's attempts to hide the hookup from his roomies (and, um, his girlfriend) failed and he went from whispering sweet nothings into Ashli's ear to publicly condemning her. The whole thing was very middle school crush, actually, except instead of pulling her pigtails on the playground, Dunbar basically went around telling everyone she was a dirty, dirty tramp.
And, not surprisingly, it turns out, there's still some unresolved tension flowing between D-Bar and Ash. So watch as Ashli dishes the dirt (okay, more like vents) and find out what really went down between those two crazy kids. Oh, and Colie -- if anything did happen between you guys, you might wanna watch your back.
