The second season of Paris Hilton's My New BFF, also known simply as My New BFF, premiered in the United States on June 2, 2009 and is the third incarnation of the My New BFF franchise. Thirteen women and three men compete in challenges in an attempt to become Paris Hilton's new best friend. Ultimately, Stephen was declared the winner.
Hilton revealed that the winner of the first season, Brittany Flickinger, would not be a part of this season because they did not stay friends (though Flickinger herself has said she just hadn't spoken to Paris for some time). About this Hilton said: "I loved her and I trusted her, but sometimes people get too caught up and they change."
Hilton kept a closer watch on the contestants this season, and filled viewers in on her thoughts about the contestants from her "plush and relaxing" VIP lair.
Season 1 contestant Onch appeared as a co-host, dubbed the "Life Pet" by Hilton. Natalie Reid (a professional Paris Hilton-lookalike who also appeared with Hilton in The Simple Life), made a special guest appearance as Hilton's double in the premiere.
Other guest stars included Santino Rice, Kathy Hilton, Doug Reinhardt, Allison Melnick, Lil' Kim, Three Six Mafia, and Kathy Griffin.
The first episode began with Paris telling a fake paparazzi that she and Brittany (season 1 winner) were no longer friends because Brittany turned out to be "a hungry tiger" who was only seeking fame and fortune. Then Paris began choosing contestants, and the chosen contestants all got into waiting cars which took them to the mansion. One of the cars included an undercover Paris disguised as a fellow contestant; she wanted to see how they acted when they thought she wasn't around. The contestants were made to show "Paris" (in fact lookalike Natalie Reid) how much they want to be her BFF. Later on Paris puts up for discussion Arielle and Amanda for not standing out enough. The last challenge of the episode is to pole dance for an audience of wild men. Stephen refuses and is put up for discussion. At elimination the fatal "TTYN" is to be received by Arielle.
