I Want To Be a Hilton is a 2005 weekly NBC reality television series that was hosted by Kathy Hilton.
The show featured people who "Wanted to be like a Hilton." The finalist of the competition receives a prize package that includes a $200,000 trust fund, a new apartment, wardrobe and the opportunity to get to know the Hiltons.
They resided at a fancy New York hotel and were divided into two teams, "Park" and "Madison". In each episode, they were required to perform certain tasks, ranging from dog grooming, a fashion show and organizing a charity event, while learning etiquette and manners. As they competed, Hilton guided them through a variety of challenges that cover subjects ranging from art and culture to beauty and fashion. Hilton met with the losing team at the end of each episode and eliminated one contestant with the catchphrase, "You're not on the list."
The show was originally entitled The Good Life, to tie it in to Paris Hilton's reality show The Simple Life. The show was not renewed for a second season.
Yvette and Latricia have a conflict from the start. Yvette is bossy and tries to take over her team, this annoys her team as does her propensity to wear very short skirts. At an auction to raise money for breast cancer (in memory of the Hilton grandmother) she wears Paris Hilton's 21st dress, thereby devaluing it. Ann is a former beauty queen with great belief in herself and her own voice - she breaks into song during eliminations which annoys her teammates. In the Arts Scavenger hunt episode Yvette, Ann and Jackaay work together. Yvette dances a ballet lesson but makes it up thinking she is better than the teacher, she is given a pink tutu which she wears the rest of the day. She dances for Kathy Hilton in the tutu when she meets the teams at the end of the challenge. Ann and Yvette gang up on Jackaay in the elimination, they decide together to vote her off. However, Ann is voted off by Jackaay, Latricia and Jabe. Yvette then leaves as Kathy Hilton does not have her 'on the list.'
