I do think Jessie was being a very ill person by not allowing you to get involved with the organization when she for one does not own it! However, I can relate to how she got so upset when you pretty much called her school a joke but Earth day off? REALLY?!?

P.S Doing charitable work is great but remember it's not about how great it will make your college resume look at all.

camille, your blogs blow me away. i think you deserve to go to Harvard (no matter what Ms. Ohara thinks) and not only Harvard, but any job you aquire afterwards. you are truly talented, and i personally think you'd be a fantastic journalist (aside from what you would like to be). And as for jesse and the operation smile situation, i'm on your side of the fence! jesse got defensive, and made your important meeting with her, ALL ABOUT HER. She doesn't want to open the doors to new people nor situations unless, in any way, it rewards her. but don't let her stand in your way from doing what's right, and what your goal is. By your words and success your name will be a household name to america more than it is now, (atleast mine anyways). i can ectually see you to be the modern Jane Austen. keep it up.

Jesse is an egocentric individual & it's almost ironic to know she is a part of operation smile, be it that they represent a positive organization. Get off the high horse Jesse. Jealousy isnt your color. :)

Camille, Your comments about charity work are terrific! You have a great head on your shoulders. You understand charity work far better than Jessie & many of the RH. Best wishes to you, sweetie, & congratulations for keeping your priorities in order!

Camille, you are my favorite on the show. I find you fascinating to watch. It would be nice to see everyone in their classrooms and doing homework because I'm sure you must have a ton of homework!

I do not blame Jesse for not letting you be a part of Operation Smile. This is something she seems to be passionate about while you are looking for something for your college transcripts. There is nothing wrong with you doing this, however your approach was lacking. I also find both your attitude along with some of your fellow cast, is ridiculous when you are talking about whose school is better, more challenging, etc. You are very passionate about your education and that is great, but you should realize that Kelli is equally passionate about her singing and be a little more respectful.

Hi Camielle,
I would just like to back you up on the comments you made regarding Jessie's school. I too go to an private all-girl high school in California and people often roll their eyes like Jessie did and make comments such as "I need my guy friends" or "How could you be around girls all day all the time?" And after a while they really do get a little abnoxious. So I could see that by making a comment about Jessie's school was in a way kind of denfending the comments that she had said before.
Love you on the show!!

I think you're a very bright girl who should maybe drop this show and find your own passion. You run intellectual rings around everyone else in the cast. It's funny to see them looking like deer in the headlights when you're around. You can hear the crickets chirping.

I agree with others, start your own charity. Don't worry about Jessie, it's her loss for being so petty. She's a socialite who will never amount to anything other than sitting front row at fashion shows and having her wedding photo in Town and Country.

Go, do your own thing and overcome your priviledged upbringing.

First off Dwight does not have school off for Earth Day. There is a club called Green Team, where they discuss ways in which to help our school go green. They raise money and do activities to help. Jessie is right, before you speak you should really check the books.

ALSO this business about Dwight being a second rate school has to stop. For those who actually live in NYC, it's all rumors that you base your information off of. For those who don't even live in NYC keep quiet because you are all upset with your pathetic lives in the suburbs wishing for the city life.

Camille,
I understand you about the boyfriend situation, its not so much that one has super high standards but one's too busy. I do think that Jessie made it too personal when the Operation smile event came up, and not letting you help its completely ridiculous of her. Unlike her, you are real, you are not stuck up and you like to have normal fun. I get you when you say school is important because for me, it is too.
we all love your dry wit and your personality.

P.S: You should try more things in black and white, with just a dash of red. It goes great your skin tone.

Camille,

I think you have great potential, but please understand that to get into Harvard you will have to write better. Your grammar skills are sub-par. Maybe this show is too much of a distraction from your goals. I hope you don't get offended, but I think you need to hear this and get on with your life. You seem to be very mature for your age and are a complete class above the rest of this group. Also, don't rely on Operation Smile. Find your own passion for community service, and go with that. Harvard won't care about you jumping on someone else's train just to make it look good on the application.

All the best:-)

i love you! i wish i had the life that you and the others on the show have...and now reading this i can see how privledged ya'll really are. your grammar is amazing your write like your 30 years old!!!! haha anyway i love watching you and i hope you get into harvard!!!

Everyone knows that Dwight is a second rate school except for the kids that go to Dwight. Regardless, there was no need to insult Jessie. Nightingale isn't exactly Spence or Choate, either.

And Camille, Operation Smile isn't community service. Maybe you should try volunteering in a hospital or soup kitchen.

Camille
Why do you find it funny that kelli has a stylist? Maybe with all the money you have you should find one for yourself. I think you are jealous of kelli and what is about to happen for her. peace..

Camille, you are by far my favorite person in this show. You are more mature, better spoken and MUCH more glamourous than the other NYC preps. PLEASE continue to speak your mind and stand up against all this immature garbage. You are incredibly blessed to have been born into a position such as yours, and I am so happy that you value your education and your image. As my lovely boyfriend is fond of saying, beauty and money fades, dumb is forever.

I can't believe you go to Nightengale...The way you put Jesse down I assumed you went to Horace Mann, Trinity or Chapin. You need a reality check. You come off a bit nasty...You were condescending toward Kelli...What have you accomplished on your own?

It's crazy b/c I am genuinely wondering if people who posted here are watching the same show I am??? Nevertheless, I agree somewhat with the last 'Viewer' comment. I think you knew precisely what you were saying. I think you may have underestimated your ability to deliver a tactful insult. Your comment was abrasive -- Just because you say something with an even tone, accompanied with a smile does not make it sweet and nice. Btw, your school doesn't seem to be ranked very high...(last years rankings http://www.nysun.com/new-york/brearley-tops-survey-of-private-schools/70...). I think you owe Jessie a real apology...not to mention throughout the show you were more interested in what she could do for you as opposed to her as an actual person. You referred to her as 'bitchy' several times...which basically means you are calling her one. Drop the guards and give her a chance...she probably is a lot nicer than you think. Also, you do sometimes seem to be one of the nicer individuals on the show, however, I honestly think that is a bit of room for growth. I hope you get everything in life you desire (Harvard and the whole shhhhhhabang!)

Hey, Camille! To be honest, all real nyc kids know that your school is indeed better than Jessie's, but oh well, she's just a sensitive person.

Hey! There are a bunch of us wondering what all of your astrological signs are - namely, yours and PC's. Mind sharing?

Hi Camille :)

you don't need jesse for the operation smile.
there are so many other great charities out there.

your one of my faveee characters on NYC PREP.

see you at harvard? (ahaha, you'll be a senior when i'm a freshman there).

<3 Jessica

Hi Camille: In so many ways you appear so much wiser than your years would indicate. however, getting involved in any discussion about what schools are tougher, better, worse, etc than any other school just shows your age. You are beyond that. I on't believe your intention was to personally insult Jesse but I can see how she would have been offended.

In any case, if you really want to contribute to Operation Smile, you don't need Jesse. You can contact Operation Smile directly through the web and contribute in many different ways. However, that might not make for good tv but would reflect whether or not your intentions to contribute are honorable or just for showmanship or college prereqs.

Hi, Camille!

When I found out you had a blog, I just about fell out of my seat. I watch your show every Tuesday, and just love it. I think you're great by always being focused on your grades in school. I also admire the fact that you do community work. I too believe in volunteering in your community. You set a great example for girls like me by caring about your school work and your appearence. Thanks so much!

Hi Camille,
I just wanted to agree with some other posters here and say that I think Jessie took your comment the wrong way. I took your comment to kind of mean that the attitude is more lax, not that the school is of any lower quality. I think most people who have attended same-sex schools agree that the attitude/atmosphere is a little more serious. It doesn't mean that co-ed schools are worse in any way.
I'm sure you have your own opinion of her especially after spending time with her after taping, but I just have to say, Jessie is a royal b-word. I really can't stand her AT ALL. I also hate the way she plays like she doesn't have feelings for PC when she clearly regards him as a boyfriend-checking in on him, etc. When I watched the previews, honestly I thought you would be the bitch of the group. Turns out you're the most levelheaded and the funniest, and I feel like I can relate to you. I do think it was a foot-in-the-mouth move to say ANYTHING about Jessie's school, but seriously, she took that so the wrong way. It just shows more of her totally self-involved, melodramatic character. Talk about turning molehills into mountains.
I noticed in an above comment that you were in Salem, VA? What on earth were you doing there? (I went to Roanoke College there and still live kind of near there in Virginia. Wish I had been there and run into you too! Jealous!)

Camille,

I heart you b/c you are mentally beyond your years...You definitely do not need Jesse's assistance, It's very obvious that she is intimidated by how much PC admires you!! Call Allie (Jill Zaran's daughter), Jill is the Queen of charity!!

Also, I am a bit curious as to why you chose not to address how Dan insinuated that something went on after dinner to PC..It just shows that boys always lie to their friends to seem interesting!! Some things never change...Huggs

Hi Camille,

I have to say that you are my favorite and thanks for at least blogging to the fans that are watching the show I think we all appreciate that. Camille I like the fact that you are you and put it all out there on the show. Perhaps the show may edit your persona to be a bit on the snobby side but I think you are probably the most down to earth out of the whole bunch. I like that you stand up for yourself and in situations are assertive, but don't let the assertiveness get in the way of your smarts. It could turn people off. You have a lot to contribute to this world, I can see that. Good luck in your school studies and I hope you get into Harvard (although there are other great schools too ... how about Berkeley? UCSD?). Oh and one bit of advice, travel the world (and not just the ritzy places) I bet you would greatly benefit doing a summer abroad somewhere in a third world country where you could donate your time. Perhaps South America? Peru? Best wishes to you Camille.

I think all of you need a reality check. Camille, you say you're putting your self out there for a guy but honestly no guy wants to date a girl that calls them annoying on a first date. you seem to pride your self in being so mannered and high class but that was no where near these "standards" you speak of. look at your self before you judge others.

Camille,

It was great meeting you at the Salem Red Sox game last nite! You were so nice and lovely not at all stuck-up like I thought. Can't believe I met you in Salem, a small town in Virginia...

Kaitlin

You are the most real character on this show. I love that you admit that you gossip, for starters. You just seem really genuine on screen and you assessment of Jessie was probaly hands down true.

I think that you are fabulous and intelligent and will go so far in life. You write and speak so well. I'm sure Harvard will be more than happy to have you. Jesse is from what I have seen an extremely immature and has no tack or class. I am 26 and have been a chairperson for a large non-profit charity since I was 16 and trust me, we will take all of the help that we can get. For her to "interview" you is absolutley hilarious. Look at all of the delightful comments about you and forget about her. I also have no idea why PC would show up to your dinner party (which was fabulous) and insult you and your guests by calling you children. I am glad you addressed it and have a firm voice for you and your friends. I actually think you may be the most mature person on the show!

GO CAMILLE!

why do you not go over Jessies position to get on this charity? I

Camille---you are my favorite! Not afraid to speak your mind, not having a boyfriend just for the sake of having one, knowing your priorities and having specific goals at a young age, very stylish in a simple elegant manner, very pretty, excellent writer....I can't believe that you're not the stuck up upper east side girl I thought you were when they were showing promo commercials about NYCPrep.

I truly don't understand why Jesse has the final say in letting you join Operation Smile. She's the what? Fashion coordinator? It's their loss. She is obviously so threatened by you. If she weren't on NYPrep, I wouldn't even think she was an upper east sider or part of the prep scene. I don't know how someone so vile can come from a woman so wonderful--her mom seems really nice and down to earth.

Keep on being yourself Camille. You are a great role model!

camille, you are a talented writer! I think your blogs are worded better then any of the housewives or other prepsters on this site! Just thought I'd throw that out there. . .

heyyy camille

I adore you and your style . I love all your hair accesories.

Now back to the subject haha. I do agree with you about the Dwight school its not they hard. Not like its one of the real competiive ones like Brearley, Chapin, Spence, Dalton, Collegiate, Horace Mann. I go to college in the Upper East Side (Hunter College) its not an ivy but its a good public university. however if someone was like i hear your school is easier than NYU or Harvard Univ. I'm not gonna get mad like Jessi, it is what it is.
But both of your schools arent considered the top nyc preps either, so I found the whole arguement funny.

Camille,
I am a sophomore and I love community service too, it gives me such a great feeling to help; I completely agree that Jessie was wrong in not letting you join operation smile. Not letting you join just because you stated your opinon on her school which you even apologized for was stupid of her. I was rather taken aback at what happened on your date, but I see how being filmed like that could make a first date even more intense, although never having gone out myself, I wouldn't really know. Just a tip for your next date though, try not to interogate the guy so much, just have fun and relax a little. I am so sorry about your cat. Don't forget that operation smile isn't the only club out there, I am going to be starting a key club at the school I am switching to, and I think that you should really look into it. Well good luck :)

Dwight IS easy to get into. And definitely doesn't have a prestigious reputation.

You should be allowed to help with the charity. It is not about Jesse but the children. Maybe ppl will see this show and realize more money could have been raised for those children. Hopefully someone else could help get you involved.

Camille,
First of all let me say that your comment about GWU was absolutely and intensely out of line. If you would do your research before you would express your opinions (which you make out to be the truth) you would realize that GWU is one of the best universities in the United States. It has been ranked ABOVE your beloved Harvard in some polls and the students there have much more class and education than you seem to have. As an upcoming freshman at GWU, I was personally offended because I worked my butt off to get into that school and who are you to bash it?!
Best of luck with getting in to Harvard and getting that perfect score on your SATs. I honestly mean that because as a graduated high school student I know the difficulty of the SATs (that are built to trick you) and the intensity of ivy league applications. I just hope that Harvard doesn't see those tapes of you saying your community service is all for applications...
O and by the way, Junior year is NOT early to take the SATs, it's right on time so you can have the opportunity to improve your scores, so you ARE NOT ahead of the curve.
Get over yourself, please! And stop making yourself look like you are the best thing to grace the earth.

Dear One,

You are BY FAR the most resourceful and intelligent of your peers. As the leader YOU are, start your own foundation, charity or other such organized wayt to Help and Get a FULL RIDE to Harvard :) I am Not a fan of Jessie and I AM Jewish. OY!

Camille, you're the best character on that show. They seriously need to give you more air time. Don't worry about Jessie. You did not come off as bitchy. She took care of that by herself (especially after she provided you with a blatant lie of an excuse for not attending the dinner party). I don't think it's worth worrying over someone who prioritizes personal preferences (silly ones, at that) over additional helping hands. It would probably be better to find another charity, or maybe start your own!

Camille,

While I think you are bright and your desire to do charity work is commendable, I think that your reference to certain colleges as party schools or not worthy is unacceptable. While you may be able to achieve Ivy League success and can afford to pay the full tuition, there are hundreds of kids in the U.S. who are the top of their classes as well but could not afford to go to a private school such as Harvard and took a full ride to a school below their level. No one is perfect, you cannot tell someone their school is not as great as your even if yours is better. Telling someone who accepted GW that it is a party school or what not is not right. Would you want someone to do the same in return?

Hey Camille, I just started watching the show and I'm seriously addicted now! I thought the debate between you and Jessie was pretty unecessary and neither of you should get caught up about. I hope you 2 can get past this and keep living life. I live in NYC and get caught up in this drama, too, but the best thing to do is get some retail therapy done!

Camille
You are an amazing person to watch on TV. At first I thought you would be a snobby brat, but clearly that is not the case. Jessie is so intimidated by you, don't ever let her actions or words make you question yourself. You are by far the more mature and classy person, so stay true to yourself, and you will accomplish more than she ever will. Thank you for taking part in the show, I hope that there are many teenagers out there that become inspired by you. You deserve that recognition.

Kelli I understand your crying over your dog completely, trust me I would not want a camera on me either. The last time I had to put a pet to sleep at the vets., a child asked his mother "what is wrong with that man".

You are a fantastic young lady and I wish you were featured more on the show. You seem like an excellent role model. Your humor and wit makes you very charming as well. My favorite line on your date was when he asked for the 3rd time if you're having a good time. You answered, "Yes I'm enjoying my water and my menu." That was hilarious. Don't change a thing.

Jesse is an odd girl. She is so hard to watch and I don't know why she was chosen for this show. Her mom seems lovely, however, so maybe she'll redeem herself in future episodes. Good luck to you.

Jessie, I think you are in love with P.C. and in return P.C. is not!

Camille, you are a dear person--intelligent and articulate! My favorite! You will certainly be successful in life. Since none of us is perfect, we all have things to learn and improve upon. Dealing with personalities like Jesse will teach you many things, and one of them is that although you are right about Jesse's ego getting in the way of children with cleft pallates, your insensitivity has also gotten in the way! By insulting her school--and that means insulting her--you lost your chance to help others. Unfair, for sure, but certainly what life is all about. Next time you encounter another "Jesse", you might think about making her or him comfortable and appreciated--keeping the criticism and brutally honest facts at bay--and you just might get what you need and want! And, with that gorgeous smile, you'll get it!

Maybe your problem is that you put so much stock into things that you "hear".

Camille--

I am a grown woman with 40 years under my belt (meaning, I have been alive long enough to have seen it all). I think you are a lovely, thoughtful and gracious young woman. You are also extremely savvy and it will serve you well. I think you should just keep on doing what you are doing and forget the boyfriend thing-- it will happen when it happens and it will be mostly effortless in the beginning. Regarding your charitable efforts, don't stoop to Jessie's level, find an organization that suits you and keep your head up!

SJ
