COMING SOON ON PRINCESS
Princess Michelle - Saturday, May 26th 10p | 1am ET
If Princess Michelle were able to finish her law degree, she might one day be able to rely on her credentials — and not just her credit — to get what she wants out of life. Behind the glitter of a privileged life, Michelle’s finances are a sobering sight. Her collection of designer clothing, shoes, accessories and her $80,000 vehicle — a gift from her parents — belies her meager part-time income and the almost $40,000 in debt that keeps her from moving forward with her goals. Michelle’s frustrated family has had enough; everyone agrees that it’s time for Michelle to grow up.
Enter Gail Vaz-Oxlade, financial expert and host. Gail challenges Michelle to get a job and work toward self-sufficiency, a task she’s never before had to face from the comfort of her parents’ home. Will Gail convince Michelle to define herself by the woman she is on the inside, rather than the brands she sports on the outside?
Princess Rachel - Saturday, May 26th 10:30p | 1:30am ET
At 25 years old, Princess Rachel should be well on her way to financial autonomy. Instead, this petulant Princess lives at home with her parents, and is still completely dependent on them to fund her self-proclaimed shopping addiction. Rachel works only sporadically, but still spends more than 100 percent of her income each month on “wants” like clothing and jewelry, leaving it to Mommy and Daddy dearest to pick up the tab on her “needs.” Despite their generosity, Rachel’s sense of entitlement is almost breathtaking, as she blithely suggests they sell their house and move into a smaller one so they can buy her a place of her own.
It’s obvious to host Gail Vaz-Oxlade that Rachel is capable of becoming an independent woman, but her biggest handicap is her helicopter parents. Will Rachel be able to succeed at Gail’s challenges, or will her parents fight to keep their very own Rapunzel comfortable in their cushy castle?
Princess Nicole- Saturday, June 2nd 10p | 1am ET
Princess Nicole has her mother, her best friend, and her girlfriend footing the bills for the basics, leaving Nicole free to spend her salary – and more – on daily impulse-shopping sprees. But even the support of these three sugar mamas isn’t enough to stop Nicole from racking up debt. Now she’s on the verge of ruining those relationships. Unless Gail Vaz-Oxlade can get Nicole to recognize the importance of people over stuff, there won’t be a happily-ever-after for this Princess.
Princess Ariana - Saturday, June 2nd 10:30p | 1:30am ET
Princess Ariana is used to getting her own way, and her selfish habit of putting her own needs before those of her friends and family has isolated everyone around her. At just 20 years old, she’s already traveled the globe on her mother’s dime and squandered every cent that her parents had put aside for her siblings’ education. But, in true Princess style, Ariana commits the same indiscretions time and time again, using her parents’ money to fund a lavish lifestyle she could never maintain on her own. After her latest transgression – an “accidental” online purchase of more than $1,000 – Ariana’s parents are ready to cut the cord.
The first order of business for host Gail Vaz-Oxlade will be to adjust the attitude of this serial spender. But Ariana will have to work hard to convince Gail that she really wants to change… because she doesn’t seem convinced herself. Will Gail’s tough-love approach be enough to bring this haughty Princess back from the dark side?
