Though Hilton was forbidden from revealing the winner before the show had fully aired, she had on two separate occasions accidentally referred to the winner as a "she," first on the September 25, 2008 airing of the Late Show with David Letterman, and again on the October 7, 2008 airing of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, thus inadvertently narrowing down the contestants.

On December 2, 2008, it was revealed in the finale that Brittany Flickinger became Paris' BFF.

Contestant Selections

Prior to production, a website was set up for potential contestants to submit their videos on why they should be Paris' BFF, and casting sessions were also set up. Initially, the 18 people with the highest votes from other users would go on the show. However, the 10 contestants with the most amount of votes went on while the other 8 were selected by the producers.

Elimination Table

^[a] During the first elimination in episode 1, there was no discussion. Athena, Erin, Francisca, and Trisha were eliminated outside of panel. ^[b] During the first elimination in episode 5, everyone was up for discussion. The contestants shaded in blue and red were up for discussion in the second elimination. ^[c] Beginning in episode 8, every contestant would be up for elimination. ^[d] In episode 10, during elimination Paris left the rooftop where panel was held.
