Hi guys, I'm Ariel Kebbel. I am in studio at Young Hollywood. That's your host. We're about to see her right now. Hi guys. Hi. Hello. Oh, yay, people care. That's nice. Oh, hi, oh, hi, camera. Hi. What's up? Just uh, just another day in studio. Hi. Hi.
Okay, look at that dress.
Yay, I got the seal of approval. I like the blue. That color. Okay, so I'm gonna go now but you'll see me in a second on the interview. Bye.
I'm so excited to have you back.
Thank you. I'm excited to be back.
The last time you're here. Yes. Yay, I get around for applause. And like when you walked in, I was like and we, I can say this cause you knew I was kidding. I'm like you look disgusting. Like horrible. Like you look amazing. You always look beautiful but you look incredible.
Thank you.
And you've been busy as heck.
Yes. It's been very fun, very busy. A lot of traveling.
Yeah, well I know you have it on your Twitter like you're in, you're in LA most of the time.
Yeah.
Because you're always shooting, you're hosting and you're acting.
Yeah. So, perfect score first of all. Perfect score. Okay, I love the premise of the show. First of all, these are the people that do American Idol, America's Got Talent, X Factor. They kind of know what they're doing.
Yeah, just a little bit.
Just a little bit. They've had some success. Yeah. And for me to jump into this with a production company like that that I admire and I watch the shows and admire what they do and what they've been able to create partnered with C. W.' s, my home. We all know. I know it well. Uh it was like, oh my God, this is amazing like how exciting, how exciting to be journeying with these people and um into this new space and it's something that I've wanted to do for a while. Um and it was cool because you know I did rehash for Vampire Diaries. And so getting that experience and that platform and then building upon that to take it to perfect score. It's been a really exciting journey for me.
Right. Okay, so let's talk about the premise of the show. So, friends, two friends
Yes.
Go up and they, they have several people, it's like 12 contestants.
10 contestants.
10 contestants. Yes. And they do a compatibility test.
Yeah, before they ever come on the show they take the compatibility test.
Now, what are the sort of questions like that they're asked?
You know, that's actually one thing, I was not allowed to see the compatibility test. There's, oh yeah.
Oh really?
Oh, there's rules. We have like the mayor of game shows watching like every cause even sometimes they put in prompt or like make them make a decision. So I'd just be like, okay, ladies, we really need a decision. And then I'd have like the mayor coming out like, those are against game show rules. And I was like, nobody told me. We have.
Wait, there's, is there a whole game show rule like.
Oh yeah, they're very, very serious. Like I am not allowed to say any words that might be misinterpreted as like pushing the contestant, you know, it has to be their choice, their decision. Right. So don't peg that girl.
Wait, so if you had to take two of your Vampire Diaries co-stars and and put them on the show and have them go up against each other. How naughty. Who would you choose? Put them up against each other. Let's face it on the show, they're not exactly always choosing the right person for them. Are they?
Vampire Diaries. Yeah. Or.
I was just saying on both. On Vampire Diaries, they're a mess. Yeah. They don't know what they want.
For Lexi, that's it like save the day. They need the show. Yeah. Um, to go on your show. But wait, so do you mean like Ian and Stefan against each other? For a, oh, okay. Yeah. Huh, that's interesting. I would put I would put, uh I would put Nina against Katherine.
Nice.
Yeah.
Why them?
Well, because Elena is just like, just causes Lexi so many problems. So the sooner she finds what she needs the better. And then I just think it'd be some fun competition to watch Katherine be a brat to her.
I love it. So I, I know Vampire Diaries fans would kill me if I didn't ask you. Is Lexi coming back? Are you gonna be What's the deal, what about the originals? Are you gonna be on that? I mean what's
I know, I know. There's so much. Um, I always say anything is possible in Mystic Falls. And, um, can die a million times. I can die a million times and I can come back a million times and each time I am incredibly grateful. I love going back to that show.
Okay, so we have, there's a reason people that we have clothes here. And not just cause we're girls. Ariel and I just like to talk fashion. We could probably could talk fashion all day long. First of all, we're gonna talk about buying things on a budget. We like fashion and we like saving money.
Yes.
Speaking of putting price tags on things. Um, so you brought in some items.
Yes.
First I want to talk about your dress. Okay. Cause your dress is incredible. Ooh, there's a little slit on the side. There's a little slit action. It's very sexy but only on one side which makes it, it's that It's the classy sexy. Yeah. It's the co-sexy. What? I don't know. Hashtag that, get it, get it going. Okay, so Yes. Would you consider yourself a budget shopper or are you one of those, cause I'm bad at buying on a budget. I'm a big fan of like the designer hat or bag with like the Target pants or sandals or or whatever. Cause it's like a little bit of my roots and a little bit of my
Right. Adulthood. But isn't that the best possible combination? Cause you still keep it real. Yeah. But you have that sophistication. So speaking of
Bam. Every now and then it's like bam in your face. I got this. Well, speaking of bam in your face, why don't we just go to the bag first?
I was hoping you do that. So guys, I'm so happy you mentioned this. This is This is. There it goes.
Let's do a compatibility test with you and your Chanel bag. Let's see how well they go together. Ding ding ding ding. That's. And I get 50,000. That's crazy. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. So, this doesn't really need much explanation. It's just. It speaks for itself.
Yeah. It's lovely. Thank you. She's lovely. Does she have a name besides Chanel? Yeah. And she's real so hashtag bam.
What are good things to splurge on? Would you say a bag or like
I always think something that you're carrying every day. I will tell you, I can be in like sweat. I swear to God, and I'll pass by someone getting my coffee they're like nice bag. And I'm like I'm not awake. Thank you. Um, so the back, cause it's the it's the first thing your eye goes to, I feel like. Yeah. And shoes.
Yeah. Speaking of shoes. Okay, so I'm gonna give you a test cause I brought in some things. Okay. One of these is the real like a designer. Don't look at the label.
Okay, okay, okay. Sorry. I do like to cheat.
Don't look at the label. Which one is the splurge and which one is the steal?
Okay, I think this is the the um, the the, ooh. She's having a hard time with it. I know but this looks like real. Okay, this is real, this is splurge. I mean, this is real, this is fake. Eh. No, this is real, this is fake.
Proves to you people you can buy on a budget because Ariel cannot tell the difference.
I was gonna say these first but here's the thing. This looks like real like velvet suede.
These are Giuseppe Zanotti. Oh. Zanotti Zanotti. And these were um, off a website and they were and they're size 7 1/2. And they were $44 versus we're not talking about it. That's amazing. And you're
Bam in your face. Bam in your face. Both of them are on sale. They're both gorgeous. Okay, let's move on. What else did you bring? I knew it, I'm so mad at myself for that one. That was your first instinct then you went and got stuck. I know. I know. Okay, so what have you got?
Okay, so going back to my my favorite store on earth, Tarjay. Listen, when I'm bored, I enjoy getting lost in Target. Now, this hat, don't judge. This hat.
I love that hat.
I do too. Okay, this is not a Target purchase. This is a Tory Burch purchase.
I was gonna say cause we I thought you were gonna tell me it was Target and then I saw this thing and I'm like wait. They don't sell it there yet. They probably will in like another five years but
And then these are um, I don't know if you guys know about Mossimo but they sell it at Target. And these are my nice little summer shorts and I think this with like a cute little onesie bathing suit or a tank top or whatever. That's awesome. Okay. So what did you bring? You're next.
I love how you interview hosts because she like what do you got for me?
Okay, well I'm obsessed with Isabel Marant. Do you know this designer, Isabel Marant?
No.
Um, good thing because it's not a splurge. But you know how everybody's doing the black and white trend. Yes. With spring summer. I love. And it's going in to fall and plaid is going into fall. And she has pants similar to these that are like 400 bucks but I found these at Free People. I think 78 or something like that.
I was gonna say and they were cheaper cause I feel like Free People sometimes pay a little. They can be a little bit, they can be a little bit expensive but I feel like these these were under 100 bucks and I think they're they kinda like hit the sort of plaid-ish black and white kinda thing. But I like 'em cause they're they're not plaid. They're like, yeah. They're not, yeah, they're not so plaid that you feel like a dwarf.
Exactly. What else you got? I wasn't gonna say that, but. Exactly. Okay. Okay. So you will be embracing plaid this fall.
Oh yeah, no. Okay. Definitely.
I don't know. Uh, the jury's still out on plaid for me. I don't know. Um, okay, well.
Matches your dress. I know, I like blue. So I live in this as you guys can tell because it's like that super soft like cause you, I wear it every day. I know I feel like stealing it from you. Yeah, it's amazing. So this is also from Target. But I think it's really cute with like tight like little like Joe's jeans or Le brand jeans or whatever. Sandals and like a cute little Marc Jacobs bag and then.
Wait, give me a tip for like, because when I go into Target because I'm not a great budget shopper. I get I'm like I don't know what to do. You get overwhelmed, right?
Yes. There's so much to choose from. I have that phase. I went through the when I first got in there, I did the like, oh my God, I bought so much junk, it actually was counterproductive.
Yes.
Yeah, and now I've learned to just zero in. Okay. But they. I wore it as underwear.
Really?
Yes. Even underwear like sexy night, impress your guy. Underwear. Not like the granny panties though. No. Who knew? All's hidden at the end of the day. I'm not too impressed with the bra selection yet. But I'm telling you, five for 25 panties. Love it. Okay. We are heading into fall. I'm sticking with the black and white theme. I love this.
Well, I'm glad you like it because I stole the tag on it cause I wasn't sure if it was a keeper or not. Oh no, I love this. Okay. Love a little leopard. I feel like leopard, you can't go wrong. It's amazing.
Zara. Oh my God. 159. If these were closed toe, you could put these together. But they don't. Mark down to 129 took it to the cash counter. And they were like, did you know that these are an extra 20 off today? And I did not. And I got this for like under 100 bucks. I think great for a coat, right? Yes. And it's thick. It also looks even thicker than it is.
I love it. That is a, that's a steal.
It was one of those things I put on and you you know when like four other girls in the store are like, where did you get that? You're buying it. And you're like, no, it's mine. It's mine. You can't have it. You can't have it. Okay. And it's 20% off.
Can we talk about your your orange dress?
Oh, okay. You actually made me love it even more cause talking like those girls. I was like, yeah, this is said to be a dress. But then when you saw it and freaked out I was like, oh I know, isn't it fabulous. It's mine. It's not even a wear. She's like, is it torn by by Ronny Kobo? Yes, it is. Because And I'm like, I don't know. It's a great knockoff of Alaya though. It is.
Well, Alaya is like the creme de la creme for that kind of that shape and that kind of. And Alaya dresses are like three grand.
Oh my gosh, some of them are even more but yeah, yeah. Um, what I love about this is, yeah, it's a fantastic knockoff but it it gives you such beautiful elegant shape and like it's just you can wear it day or night. It's amazing.
Yeah. You know it's amazing cause you want it. Cause I identified it. I identified, oh stop. I identified it when you walked in. I'm like, is that Torn? This was a blast. Can we actually, can we go shopping now? Not that we don't have enough stuff. Yeah, I like your budget plan better. So I'm I'm going.
Well, we could we could go to Target. I'm cool with that.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay, Target and then Robertson. Yeah. Mixing it mixing it keeping the high and low. Great to have you here. Congrats on the show.
Thank you.
And I'm gonna watch it and hopefully get some compatibility lesson. Learn a thing or two. Learn a thing or two. Cause I feel like I'd be paying the show. And if not, at least have fun cause I say it's like Singled Out at 2013. It's a lot of fun. We'll be watching it. Thanks, great to see you.
