The
10-episode

finds
20
contestants
competing

a
series

be
a

best
friend,

deal
with

the
reality
show
is
already
under
way,
with
some
candidates
expected
to
be
drawn
from
ParisBFF.com,
an
MTV
website
in
which
would-be
aspiring

can
post
videos
and
blogs
that
make
the
case
for
their
inclusion
on
the
series.
