#2"Painting the Camel"April 24, 2011 (2011-04-24)102

Paris' search for her new BFF in Dubai continued. She sent the girls to perform a traditional ritual in the desert, that consisted of painting a camel with saffron. Certain girls such as Gelareh failed to impress; she felt the task was too dirty. However, Bassant performed extremely well. She was named as the 'Little Star of the Week' by Paris. Due to this, Bassant had the opportunity to spend time alone with Paris at a massaging session. The two chatted about the girls, where Bassant gave her honest and frank opinions. Bassant revealed that her main aim was to gain exposure from the show. After this, the girls were faced with another challenge. They were divided into three teams: (1) Branka, Christy, Dina, Marta (2) Farhana, Bassant, Mandy, Amy (3) Gelareh, Dalila, Reem, Dana. Each had to create a commercial for a new Paris Hilton branded product. Team 2 chose shoes, while Team 3 chose a bag. Team 1 selected a watch. Reem felt her ideas were discarded by her team mates, which led to tears. The watch team impressed Paris and Nayla with their commercial acted out by Branka and Christy, while the other two were deemed poor. Bassant, being Paris' 'Little Star' was then asked to select a girl for possible elimiation. Hesitantly, she chose Dina, labelling her as being the fakest girl in the group. This fuelled drama back at the house, where Dina confronted Bassant. Dina disagreed and claimed Bassant was the fakest girl; an argument ensued. At the discussion panel, Paris chose Dalila to join Dina for possible elimination. She felt Dalila could offend others with her unusual sense of humour. During the process, the most unexpected moment occurred, when Dalila suddenly insisted on leaving, due to her loyalty for close friend, Dina. However, Dina disagreed with this and wanted Paris and the other girls to decide. Paris eliminated Dalila, and named Dana as the new 'Little Star' for the next week.

#3"Fake or real"May 1, 2011 (2011-05-01)103

The episode started with Paris asking the girls to privately pinpoint who they thought was real and fake. Nayla called for a session to include the girls and Paris. Following the results, each girl was ranked on a scale of most real to most fake. The results were revealed openly to the girls by Nayla, which included Dana being the most real, Farhana being in the middle, and Dina being the most fake. This led to a discussion of the results. During the session, tension rose as Mandy blurted out that some of the girls had been talking badly about Paris; Bassant, Amy and Christy being a few of the accused ones. Paris seemed offended by the idea of her friends betraying her. Nayla demanded that Christy should demonstrate her "mocking" of Paris, which actually turned out to be a stylish walk, that Paris rather liked. Later, Paris announced that she was hosting a party. She rewarded Dana, her 'Little Star' by inviting her to a makeover session in preparation for the event. Branka, who claimed to be ill earlier, missing the 'Fake or Real' session, appeared to be partying wildly that night. On the next morning, Mandy received instructions for the next challenge. The challenge dictated each girl to write an autobiography of about 500 words; each girl was assigned a different theme. Arabic actress and writer, Mirna Hayet arrived to hear the stories. Several of the girls, including Dina came forward about their troubled pasts. Some of the others, including Gelareh, Farhana and Amy revealed a painful memory. Other girls such as Branka and Christy were criticized for either being too guarded about their stories or for writing incomprehensible material. At the discussion, Dina was declared winner of the challenge, as Paris felt she saw a different side of her. Dina was therefore annulled from possible elimination. Paris first selected Branka, as she questioned her sincereness and genuinity, as she attended the party, when she was apparently too ill. Bassant was also selected, and subsequently eliminated for being a 'hungry tiger' who was too concerned with fame, rather than being Paris' friend.

At the penthouse, Dina, Paris' Little Star, received a text message about a forthcoming task. She was advised to select four girls on her team. Opting to choose girls with different personalities that would work well together, she picked Branka, Mandy, Amy and Dana. It was then revealed that they were actually invited to a pampering session. The remaining girls were instructed to cook and serve the pampered group an "Arabic Fusion" dinner, at which Marta threw a tantrum and expressed her disappointment. Following this, the girls were taken to a clothing store where Paris was present. She divided the group into five pairs: (1) Marta and Dina (2) Christy and Reem (3) Branka and Dana (4) Amy and Farhana (5) Gelareh and Mandy. Paris instructed them to create a look which reflected her busy, international jet-setting lifestyle. With only 10 minutes, the teams rummaged through the store, disputing potential styles and trying on various garments. One girl from each team then modeled the style in front of Paris, who provided feedback. Reem and Christy's style was declared the worst, whilst the best, Branka and Dana's. Dina, being Paris' Little Star was then invited to spend time with her; she chose Mandy to accompany her. The two used the chance to relay their opinions about the other girls. Christy was criticised for her weakness, and for apparently calling Abdul a camel, whilst Marta was slated for her temper tantrums. Mandy felt Reem was weak and annoying. The two also revealed that Farhana could be a potential hungry tiger, and that Dana was mysterious and dark. During their absence from the penthouse, some of the girls including Dana, Christy and Marta joked about how Dina's character had changed so drastically into a Mother Teresa persona during the last few days. At the discussion panel, Paris picked on Christy and Reem's arguing during the style challenge; this led to a disagreement between the two. Paris then chose Marta for discussion for her quick temper. She also chose Farhana, as she was unsure of her motives. Following discussions, Marta was eliminated. Paris felt the other girls were ganging up on Farhana. She then surprised the girls with the prospect of a second elimination, selecting Reem for discussion, due to her involvement in arguments and for her impatience. Christy was also selected and then eliminated, as Paris felt she was too fragile.

#5May 15, 2011 (2011-05-15)105

Paris introduced her bodyguard, Mason, to the girls. He interrogated each one about their potential behaviour in hypothetical situations involving Paris, and if concerned with "fame or fortune". Paris watched the interrogations from a secret location. Both Mason and Paris were surprised with some of the responses. That evening, Paris, Mason and the girls went to a resort. Following the interrogations, Mason was to reveal who he felt was the most genuine girl by "taking a bullet" or saving that contestant from being squirted by a water gun. Paris progressed to each girl. When she began squirting water on Dana, Mason darted in front and ushered her away. She was the only girl that Mason saved. The next day, the girls were taken to a gold souk shopping centre. Paris divided them into two groups: (1) Mandy, Reem, Farhana, and Branka (2) Dina, Dana, Gelareh, and Amy. Each group was given 1,500 DHS to buy the best jewellery item, but at a bargained price for Paris. Entering various stores and via several bargainings, the first team eventually purchased an Arabic themed head-piece at 1,000 DHS, whilst the second team, a heart-shaped ring at 1,250 DHS. Some of the girls felt Dina bombarded the bargaining and sale, while Branka felt Mandy dominated. Each team presented their jewellery piece to Paris at lunch. Dana and Dina both attempted to take responsibility for sealing the deal. Paris declared the ring team as the winners; they were presented with prizes back at the penthouse. After this, the girls were given a challenge of allocating a given tag-line to the most deserving girl. The first was "Most two-faced" which led to a disagreement. Farhana felt Amy should have received it, whilst Dana thought Dina should. Some felt Mandy deserved it. When it came to the "Most Hungry Tiger" tag, some girls hinted at Farhana. She refused this and began to defend herself, which seemed to offend Amy. Her behaviour towards Farhana became aggressive, heated and out-of-character. During an argument between the two, Amy threatened to "slap the **** out of her." At discussion, Paris revealed that Gelareh, her 'Little Star' was immune from elimination. Paris first selected Amy, for her sudden outburst towards Farhana, and secondly, Farhana, as Paris felt she was defensive and too guarded. Farhana was eliminated.

After Farhana's elimination, Paris asked her Little Star, Gelareh, to choose a new Star. She selected Branka. The next day, the girls were to be taken to a party hosted by Paris at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi. Before this, however, each girl was instructed to write a toast for Paris, which was to be presented at an evening dinner. The girls prepared this on the yacht ride to Abu Dhabi. On entering the Emirates Palace hotel, the girls were amazed by its glamour and prestige. They then prepared themselves for the formal dinner with Paris. Seated at the dinner table, Paris walked in with an unexpected guest; her mother, Kathy Hilton. Paris explained that she trusted her mother's opinion very much, therefore, she wanted Kathy to meet all the girls. After the introductions, Kathy asked the girls some controversial questions including "who is the biggest operator?" which broke the ice and got some discussions going. She then asked to hear the toasts, which varied among the girls. After the girls left the room, Kathy gave Paris her frank opinions. She felt that the girls were genuinely in the competition to become Paris' friend and for the experience. However, Kathy then commented that Branka made the worst impression, feeling that she did not have anything in common with Paris. Kathy was also unimpressed with Mandy's toast, and stated that Amy was sweet but boring. She was however, very impressed with Dana and felt that she was "organic." Kathy concluded that Mandy and Branka would not make good BFFs at all. During the night, the girls partied with Paris at the nightclub, where her parents were also present. The next day, Dana and Branka, both inexperienced drivers, were sent to a driving school by Paris. After their driving lesson, Paris arrived at the scene in a stylish Lamborghini, allowing both girls a ride. Later at the hotel, Paris and the girls were greeted by each girl's BFF. Paris asked each BFF questions to find out more information. The girls were surprised when Dana's BFF, a male walked into the room. Reem's BFF, who could not attend, was actually her sister. Paris found this sweet and could relate to such relationship. Because Reem was the only contestant unable to see her BFF, Paris invited her to a special event, where both had an opportunity to talk. The next day, Paris was called away for business. Via a letter, she instructed her Little Star, Branka to reveal the girls up for discussion: herself, Amy and Gelareh. The three packed their bags and left the hotel to be driven to separate locations. Amy and Gelareh were taken to different parts of the airport, whilst Branka was brought to the outside area. She was acknowledged by Abdul, who relayed the message: "Paris can only have one true BFF and it won't be you. TTYN." He walked off- no other reasons were given. Amy and Gelareh, both confused about their whereabouts and progression in the competition, were surprisingly taken on a trip to Beirut, Lebanon.

The episode began with Paris answering questions in an interview at a location in Beirut, Lebanon. Gelareh and Amy, who had just entered Beirut, were driven to the Royal Suite of the Grand Hills Hotel. Meanwhile, back at the penthouse, the remaining four girls expressed their amazement that three girls were supposedly eliminated. Paris set them a challenge to make themselves over to copy one of her iconic looks. However in Beirut, Amy and Gelareh enjoyed partying the night away with Paris. Back at the penthouse during dinner, Paris stopped by. She told the girls of her trip to Lebanon and challenged them to teach her some Arabic catchphrases. She enjoyed hearing the words and was impressed with Reem and Mandy's catchphrase. After this, Amy and Gelareh creeped in and surprised the girls, where some, including Dina appeared disappointed. Amy and Gelareh spoke of their surprise trip to Lebanon, and answered questions from the others. During the night, a division was seen where the four girls sat together, whilst Amy and Gelareh were seen elsewhere. The next day, Paris stopped by to invite the girls to accompany her for a trial run red carpet event. Amy was the first to walk down the red carpet with Paris. She was then asked questions from the paparazzi. Each girl in turn had this opportunity. Paris was disappointed to see Gelareh dessert her midway for photographs, whilst Dana was overcome with nerves. Paris later revealed that Reem performed the best and had won the challenge. At discussion, Paris first informed that Dina had won the makeover challenge. Paris then commented that she felt Mandy seemed to be at the red carpet event for herself, and reprimanded Gelareh for leaving her stranded for photographs. Amy was then picked on for her unnatural and self-centred character. Gelareh, Amy and Mandy were chosen for discussion. Gelareh was eliminated, as Paris felt she was negative and that she did not want to be there; Paris thought that this could drag her down. She then warned the girls of another elimination. Dana openly revealed that Mandy was not as genuine as she made out, which led to a retaliation from Mandy. Amy then exposed that close friends, Mandy and Dina had recently fallen out, as Dina had decided that she would not leave alongside Mandy if eliminated, as they had once planned. Mandy was eventually eliminated. As she walked out, Dina followed to console her; it appeared that both had a spat outside the discussion room. Paris commented that she felt "they were more interested in being each other's friends" than hers. Dina later returned to take her seat, where the four girls were declared as 'the final four.'

The episode started with the four finalists arriving at a photo-shoot venue where Paris was modeling. She invited the girls for a group photo, which led to a one-on-one session with each finalist. Each had their photo taken with Paris, as well as an opportunity to answer her questions. Amy used the chance to complain about the others, and Dana criticized Dina and Reem. Later, Paris organized an exclusive meal for the finalists. They remembered their time on the show and reminisced past contestants. After their return to the penthouse, Paris gave the girls a challenge. They had to rank themselves according to various tag-lines such as the "Best Cook", "Most Intelligent" and more. The girls debated and disagreed with certain rankings. Particularly, Dina felt that Reem should be first for the "Best Stand In For Paris," because of her winning performance on the red carpet; Dana disagreed and protested. A division appeared between the group: Reem and Dina, and Amy and Dana. Later, the finalists were sent shopping to choose a dress that celebrated their heritage. During this, Dina and Reem appeared to bond. Dressed in their traditional dresses, the four entered the final discussion. Each finalist first had a short one-to-one chat with Paris. After, they were all brought in front of Paris. She spoke of some of her concerns, leading to an open discussion. Strategies and politics came into play. Amy and Dana appeared to agree and support each other's opinions; they certainly did not want Dina to win. Dana revealed that Reem had said some harsh words about Dina; Reem denied this. She argued that she and Dina had in fact recently become friends. There was clear friction between Dana and Dina, and Paris stated that "the claws were coming out". At the end of the discussion, Paris revealed some final thoughts. She was worried about Dina's label of being fake; concerned that Dana was too mysterious; apprehensive about Amy's intensity, and bothered that she and Reem could be too different. Amy was eventually eliminated. Paris, overwhelmed with the situation, began to make her final decisions. However, she suddenly ran out of the room, leaving the remaining three surprised and apprehensive. Abdul then entered to announce that the winner will be taken to Paris. The three finalists were escorted to various destinations. Dina entered a venue to disappointingly find Dana present; both realised that Reem had won. Reem was taken to a location, where she was surprised to find Paris. She hugged Reem, who was declared her new BFF. Paris explained that she felt that Reem was the most real, genuine and graceful under pressure- qualities which she desired from a BFF.
