Posted by Lauren on June 25, 2009 at 01:12 PM EDT #

from the pics, nicole definately!!!!

Posted by amber on June 25, 2009 at 01:41 PM EDT #

Janine or Nicole would be best for Kiran!!! but its funny how Sanna is from Amsterdam cuz Im born an hour away from there!

Posted by Yasmin on June 25, 2009 at 01:55 PM EDT #

Oh and I hope Noelles charcter's hair will be dark cuz id be disapointed to the infinity if she isnt and i love Reed's character!!

Posted by Yasmin on June 25, 2009 at 01:56 PM EDT #

Def Nichole. She is gorgeous. Kinda how I pictured Kiran Hayes!!!! Always <3

Posted by Allie on June 25, 2009 at 02:06 PM EDT #

i love love love janine! <3<3 she has to win!!! i voted 4 her during the auditions! Janine is a perfect ten and got the highest scores during the audition out of all three girls. nicole doesnt seem fit for the part......but sannas my second choice! <3 heather<3's kate brian

Posted by heather on June 25, 2009 at 02:14 PM EDT #

Yay! I'm so excited to watch the contest and the series! Good luck ladies! :) I personally think that Nicole looks the most like how I imagined Kiran, but Janine's audition was definitely the best of the three. It will be exciting to see who wins! I think they're all down in LA now, aren't they? Oh, and Sanna strongly reminds me of Jennifer Garner, does anyone else think so?

Posted by Kelli on June 25, 2009 at 02:16 PM EDT #

im thinking nichole! but wow, i couldnt be more thrilled about them having a webseries! im addicted to these book id rather read them then hang out with my friends some of the time ha no im not a loser, there just that good! i hope they never end, best books ever!

Posted by ashley. on June 25, 2009 at 02:31 PM EDT #

Nicole Is my fav. but thats based on picz !

Posted by chloe g on June 25, 2009 at 02:55 PM EDT #

SANNAS ADUITION IS THEE BESTTT !!!!just not a great pic.

Posted by chloe g on June 25, 2009 at 03:09 PM EDT #

Definitely rooting for Janine!

Posted by AJ on June 25, 2009 at 04:13 PM EDT #

Sanna is actually really pretty, and the best of all three. I'm rooting for Sanna!

Posted by Krissy on June 25, 2009 at 04:25 PM EDT #

Sounds like everyone else is leaning toward Nicole or Janine...but Sanna is my favorite. There's something really pretty about her...plus we won't really know who's the best until we see them perform in the casting show. Can't wait! I will totally watch every epie!

Posted by Kristin on June 25, 2009 at 04:51 PM EDT #

nicole is deffinatley my favorite, but that's just from the pictures. shes how i pictured kiran!

Posted by alexa on June 25, 2009 at 05:05 PM EDT #

What i want to no is why arent the models of the covers of the books playing the characters? i think the models on the books fit the main billings girls characters.any1 else agree????

Posted by Morgan on June 25, 2009 at 05:05 PM EDT #

i think either janine or nicole should win.. idk about sanna she might be pretty but doesnt look that great in this pic.! :)

Posted by jane on June 25, 2009 at 05:13 PM EDT #

OMG, Janine is beautiful! She is definately my Kiran!!!

Posted by Ginny on June 25, 2009 at 05:16 PM EDT #

I know that these girls are now in LA battleing it out for the role and hope that Janine won. She had the best auditon and now that I see her pic, she is the Kiran I imagined!!! Good Luck!

Posted by francine on June 25, 2009 at 05:19 PM EDT #

Well, I hope that Janine gets the role. She is a billings girl! I can see her in various roles. She is so pretty and looks the youngest and she is has a really fresh face! Hey, a Neutragena Face!!

Posted by Geraldine on June 25, 2009 at 05:27 PM EDT #

I know that we won't know until the reality show starts but I hope that Janine gets it! She is the only one in this group that I remember doing a great job in the audition. And, I agree with the post above, she has that fresh look.

Posted by Gerry on June 25, 2009 at 05:34 PM EDT #

i think nicole is the best fit. second place for me would probably be janine. third would be sanna.

Posted by erica on June 25, 2009 at 05:53 PM EDT #

what are they going to do during the private reality contest like what are they going to do to compete? say lines of kiran's? can't wait either way.

Posted by abrielle on June 25, 2009 at 08:43 PM EDT #

I'm voting for Nicole! Oh, and I'm so mad that Noelle's character has blonde hair in the series! Doesn't she have dark hair?! >=/

Posted by Maria on June 25, 2009 at 09:21 PM EDT #

OMG, Janine is a beauty. I hope she wins. My vote is with her. Although , I know I really don't have a vote, he he. Nicole looks old. She looks like she's over 25. Sanna's pic it not the best. Janine looks the youngest and looks like what I imagine a billings girl to be.

Posted by hanna on June 25, 2009 at 10:14 PM EDT #

hey kate, janine seems like a taylor to me, and sanna would be Kiran..well i wish all 3 girls best of luck

Posted by Brittanny on June 25, 2009 at 10:37 PM EDT #

Where can you watch the auditions?

Posted by yasmin on June 25, 2009 at 11:50 PM EDT #

i like nicole the best, janine looks to young and sanna doesnt look the part. she also sounds the part, go nicole!

Posted by Andy S. on June 26, 2009 at 12:03 AM EDT #

Janine is the one I picture most as Kiran!!!!!! the other two look to old and are not as pretty as Janine!!!

Posted by Catyn Johnson on June 26, 2009 at 02:49 AM EDT #

can someone put the link for all the audidtions up here? b/c i want to wach them!

Posted by Mary Hollis on June 26, 2009 at 07:58 AM EDT #

Nicole should win. personally idc who wins i want the girl playing noelle 2 die her hair black cuz she doesnt fit the description. Reed's character is gorgeous though but i'm a hardcore noelle fan

Posted by Elicia on June 26, 2009 at 11:54 AM EDT #

Deffinitely Nicole! <33 Exactly how I pictured Kiran. But whats up with the Taylor they picked!!

Posted by Jenae on June 26, 2009 at 12:15 PM EDT #

when i picture kiran i picture someone who looks closest to nicole if not exact

Posted by lily on June 26, 2009 at 12:36 PM EDT #

i hope that Janine gets the role, if not nicloe

Posted by rifah on June 26, 2009 at 02:03 PM EDT #

I think that sanna should win bc her audition suited kiran. i think that janine could win.. but she doesn't act like a billings girl should. her acting in the audition was a little bit immature for the part. (i think she could've won Massie for the clique series..)

Posted by Haleigh on June 26, 2009 at 02:15 PM EDT #

okay let me just say i'm starting to get very dissapointed now there not having a dash mcCafferty either? they mine as well take out josh hollis too and have you seen the pick for taylor? that doesnt even match her discription ughhh whatever i guess i will just have to wait for the webseries to start. i hope gage and natasha and leanne, etc,etc are at least going to be extras.this is rediculous.

Posted by gfkjhfdgdh on June 26, 2009 at 02:27 PM EDT #

for the web cast. the ppl playing the roles of Noelle, Josh, Ariana, and Taylor arent good at all. i mean they are fine as a person but they dont look like the characters at all!!!!!! IT IS NOT RIGHT! im not trying to be rude im just saying.

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on June 26, 2009 at 03:15 PM EDT #

NICOLE! her audition was awesome! Janine i agree would have been really good to play massie. she seems like just i dont know not billings material that much. no offense at all! and Sanna was okay but i want nicole to play her.

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on June 26, 2009 at 03:34 PM EDT #

the girl playing taylor should play sabine later on.

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on June 26, 2009 at 03:46 PM EDT #

janine reminds me of Constance.

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on June 26, 2009 at 03:52 PM EDT #

I am hoping that Janine gets it. She is definately a billings girl. Sanna I'm not sure about and Nicole, well I think she looks much older than her 24 years. Anyway, we will all find out. My girlfriends and I all think it HAS to be Janine!

Posted by Cameron on June 26, 2009 at 03:53 PM EDT #

OMG i just noticed that Dash isn't on the cast list?! WHY NOT? Noelle can't be boyfriendless!!!!!!

Posted by Hayley on June 26, 2009 at 04:02 PM EDT #

NICOLE!!!!!!!!!!! All the way. (For guys maybe you should choose Austin Robert Butler for Josh. He is perfect!You would love him!)

Posted by Noah Christine on June 26, 2009 at 04:35 PM EDT #

Nicole should def win! She's sooo pretty and from her pic she looks like she could do kiran really well(facial expression, the way she holds herself) I can't wait for the show to start!!!!!! Can't wait to see Noelle, she has to be amazing! she's like my fave character! and then Kiran!!! <3 Private series! <3 Noelle! ILY kate brian!!!

Posted by Courtney on June 26, 2009 at 07:35 PM EDT #

i really dont like the girl playing Taylor! she just isent right! but i LOVE the actors/actresses playing reed and thomas!

Posted by Sheila on June 26, 2009 at 09:35 PM EDT #

1st Nicole- just gives off "yeah I'm a model" 3rd Sanna - "are we done yet" yeah um not very flattering 2nd Janine- looks like the cover girl of "Private" but I'm just not feeling the vibe

Posted by katherine rene on June 26, 2009 at 11:45 PM EDT #

I know! Whats with Thomas' brother and no Dash. Blake is only mentioned like 3 times in the books.

Posted by katherine rene on June 26, 2009 at 11:50 PM EDT #

I'm voting for Janine but yea i thought she was supposed to have dark hair but the other characters don't really look like how they are described in the book.

Posted by Samantha on June 27, 2009 at 04:03 AM EDT #

Noelle, Ariana and Taylor is so wrong! Kate, can you use the cover models?? The cover models are so much better

Posted by katy on June 27, 2009 at 06:19 AM EDT #

Nicole looks like Kiran more, but Janine's audition was the best!!! Janine!!!!!

Posted by katy on June 27, 2009 at 06:25 AM EDT #

hi, haven't commented in a long time but i want Janine to win! she had the best audition and looks like kiran!! so GO JANINE!! lol. Ellie...x

Posted by Ellie on June 27, 2009 at 07:02 AM EDT #

nicole definitely! she looks more mature to be kiran ;))

Posted by anaty on June 27, 2009 at 10:08 AM EDT #

i think reed is the only casting that is right. i imagined her to look exactly like that. but the others not so much. taylor needs to have blonde curls. and noelle needs dark hair. and ariana doesnt look like ariana. could you use some of the cover models? expecially ariana.

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on June 27, 2009 at 11:40 AM EDT #

Hi, could you just use the cover models and get hotter guys please. Reed is the only one casted right, the people suck. taylor is the worst, why the hell did you cast a black person as taylor. If you don'y change some of the characters I will never read your books again.

Posted by Dana on June 27, 2009 at 12:09 PM EDT #

I think Nicole looks like the best Kiran... But I think Janine could maybe pull it off with her hair dyed with more brown tones :)

Posted by charl on June 27, 2009 at 12:15 PM EDT #

alright i agree with all of you about the cast members but you know what quit yelling at kate because she isn't the casting the director she has nothing to do with the finalists for kiran, the cast so far nothing! basically, I'm sick of seeing all the negative comments on this blog considering it has nothing to do with Kate she's a great author and doesn't deserve any of this criticism. and you know what if you wont read her books ever again over something Kate has no control over? then good for you she has millions of other fans and doesnt need you:] ily kate and go Janine!

Posted by megan on June 27, 2009 at 01:30 PM EDT #

rooting for nicole or janine. taylor's character is way off, can only see that girl as sabine. reed's character is the only one that looks right 'cause that's how i imagined reed would look like. noelle's character is aight i guess. but the rest are wrong and i can't believe that there is no boyfriend for noelle, like where the hell is dash? also i think you guys should've gone with the models on the covers because they all like fit the description of the billing girls. not these other chickas except for reed.

Posted by Roxanne on June 27, 2009 at 01:37 PM EDT #

After looking at the pictures, I think Nicole looks the most like Kiran. Although the characters that were picked do not match the way I picture them, I am looking forward to the webseries. You are an awesome author Kate!

Posted by Major Private Series Fan on June 27, 2009 at 03:47 PM EDT #

Heyy guys! I really want Nicole to win! She already looks like she is Kiran! I think Janine to win but she looks more like an actress in one of the Clique movies or maybe on one of the books! And Sanna she is a great actress but she just doesn't look like Kiran the way I picture it! Good Luck to all and may the best Kiran win!

Posted by abby on June 27, 2009 at 08:38 PM EDT #

HEY EVERYONE LOOK UP THIS KID!!!!!!!! AUSTIN ROBERT BUTLER!!!!!! HE IS PERFECT FOR JOSH!! HE IS AMAZINGLY CUTE!! JUST HOW I PICTURED HIM!!!!! <<Shannon :D

Posted by Shannon on June 27, 2009 at 09:38 PM EDT #

when does the series start?

Posted by kara on June 27, 2009 at 10:05 PM EDT #

I soooo love Sanna I watched her video on sugarloot she was the best. She really looks like she could be Kiran Hayes.

Posted by Nia on June 27, 2009 at 10:35 PM EDT #

Nicole is definitely how I pictured Kiran to look! She's gorgeous. Hope she wins.

Posted by Bailee on June 27, 2009 at 11:26 PM EDT #

Ahh they're all very pretty but Nicole is like who I imagine Kiran would look like =)

Posted by AnnaJane on June 28, 2009 at 02:17 AM EDT #

i pick nicole! but janine is kinda okay. still, nicole is just like the kiran i pictured in my mind :)

Posted by Natasha on June 28, 2009 at 04:46 AM EDT #

The cast so far stinks!!! Ariana doesn't have icy blue eyes, Noelle is supposed to be a bruntette (like the girl in the middle on the cover of ambition), josh and thomas are ugly, why the heck is blake here but not dash, taylor is supposed to be a small blond girl with cute curles and rosy cheaks, these casting direectors suck!!! they are totally ruining a great series!! The only person they gor right is reed, but when you mess up everyone else it doesn't matter who you got right.

Posted by samantha anderson on June 28, 2009 at 09:43 AM EDT #

im so excited for the web series, but i really want to know more about the next book Suspicions. tell us more!

Posted by navy on June 28, 2009 at 10:33 AM EDT #

I love Janine!!! I totally hope she gets it...she's sooo pretty!!! She seems like she could make it too.

Posted by Ariana on June 28, 2009 at 10:58 AM EDT #

Although Sanna's picture on this page is not great, she is really very beautiful. Just look at her audition tape. You girls need to stop bashing, so immature.

Posted by diane on June 28, 2009 at 11:17 AM EDT #

OMG, I can definately see Janine as Kiran. I can also see her in some of the other roles. She is so pretty. Nicole is pretty also, but looks kind of old to play the part. Sanna, I just think they posted the wrong picture of her. She looks great in the audition tape. We will all find out who won the part soon. This must have been an awesome experience to go to Hollywood! Can't wait!

Posted by Hanna on June 28, 2009 at 11:21 AM EDT #

NO Dash McCafferty?! Just rip my heart out too...Ceci est terrible !

Posted by Madeline on June 28, 2009 at 11:25 AM EDT #

i think that janine looks like she would play the part the best.

Posted by Noelle on June 28, 2009 at 01:15 PM EDT #

what about the TRAILER!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!??!!?!?

Posted by JENNIFER on June 28, 2009 at 04:39 PM EDT #

HOW DO WE SEE THE AUDITIONS......

Posted by Mary Hollis on June 28, 2009 at 05:43 PM EDT #

Guys, you cant base you ideas on the pictures up there. i wached all the auditions and i like sannas the best. she was really good. and shes really pretty. its just a bad picture of her...

Posted by Mary Hollis on June 28, 2009 at 05:53 PM EDT #

i'm rooting for janine ! she's pretty and icould see her as kiran

Posted by cantrell on June 28, 2009 at 06:06 PM EDT #

Okay, First of all the girls on the covers of the books are MODELS, they're NOT ACTRESSES, so they can't play the characters. duh. and don't call anyone ugly even if they are because its just plain rude!! how would you feel if u were excited to get the role and u saw all these comments about how wrong u are for the part? And also, Kate really doesn't have much say in the casting, so don't punish kate for other peoples wrong doings. and obviously, the people got the parts because they deserved them, if they sucked then they wouldn't be on the cast list. and just because some of the characters aren't being shown, doesn't mean they're not gonna be in it, i mean they are pretty freakin important. and btw these actors are not playing the characters in the book, they are playing the characters in the show, that is BASED on the book.Thats all we have to say, so ya..... (we love u kate)

Posted by Olivabelle on June 28, 2009 at 06:22 PM EDT #

Can you believe Noelle is blonde?

Posted by mel on June 28, 2009 at 08:41 PM EDT #

OMG cant wait for the series!! Nicole seems the most like a billings girl exactly as i pictured them!! But shanna is the only one wit the coulor hair that i pictured Noelle having. Rooting for Nicole but good luck to the others :) <3 Brianne

Posted by Brianne on June 28, 2009 at 11:21 PM EDT #

From the pictures, I like Nicole the best, but I honestly dont think any of them fit the Kiran Hayes in my head.

Posted by Sammy on June 29, 2009 at 10:15 AM EDT #

Really I don't agree with the cast at all. I like the parts of Reed and Noelle. Everyone is saying that Noelle should have dark hair, and I do agree with that, but she has that "Noelle Look" to her and even without brown hair I think she will look the part. And go Nicole or Sanna!

Posted by Molly on June 29, 2009 at 11:03 AM EDT #

i cant wait till the shows are on! when do they start? does anyone know?

Posted by Mary Morriey on June 29, 2009 at 11:48 AM EDT #

www.teenchicklitterature.blogspot.com ^ please check it out Im rooting for Janine :)

Posted by allison on June 29, 2009 at 12:16 PM EDT #

I think that Nicole looks more like a billings girl than the other two. I thought Noelle had black hair and that Taylor was blonde??? I pictured Josh being cuter than the guy playing him.

Posted by chelsea leasure on June 29, 2009 at 02:24 PM EDT #

I think Nicole because she looks more like a model and a Billings girl. And I am curious, when does the web series come out of read the whole series and I'm dieing to watch it! I also thought Thomas would look totally different!

Posted by Madi <3 on June 29, 2009 at 03:13 PM EDT #

the girl who is playing taylor bell is so not what i imagined her looking like she. isn't she supposed to have blond hair?

Posted by cathy on June 29, 2009 at 03:13 PM EDT #

I totally agree with the two people above me. Taylor is a tiny, cute girl with curly dirty blonde hair. Noelle has dark wavy hair. I think that (even though she is just a cover model) the girl in the middle on the front of ambition looks like a noelle.Josh is supposed to be cute and sort of smallish. and have a "baby face" whatever that means, with blond curls.they nead a new casting director!! BADLY!!!!!!!

Posted by briana lilianos on June 29, 2009 at 03:16 PM EDT #

Ummm...do you guys not see the black girl on the book cover?? Whats the big deal about the new Taylor being black? Who cares!!!

Posted by Jamie on June 29, 2009 at 03:17 PM EDT #

Dude, nicole is the prettiest out of all of them. Jenine doesn't have the model kind of look because she has a bit of to small eyes and the other girl has a bigger nose and face. But nicole is p.e.r.f.e.c.t for Kiran Hayes.

Posted by Chloe on June 29, 2009 at 03:28 PM EDT #

Kate-this is my first time making a comment on this blog, but i've always read your posts because i love the private series so much!I heard that if there are enough comments you'll post the first chapter of SUSPICION...please, i hope you will. i keep writing up my own versions of what will happen next but they're so juvenile. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE(xmillion)! I am losing sleep over this! also, thanks for puting so much effort into your writing! You really are the best!

Posted by Cammie on June 29, 2009 at 04:09 PM EDT #

People...Kate has no control over who gets cast! Please stop yelling at her or telling her "please cast the cover models!" Do you really want to cast girls who look the part but can't act at all? Obviously the directors feel that the cast members fit the roles. So Noelle has blonde hair...ever heard of hair dye? Even if they aren't the spitting image of the characters in your head, I'm sure they'll all do an amazing job!

Posted by Kelli on June 29, 2009 at 04:41 PM EDT #

I think Reed looks perfect...she reminds me a bit of Kristen Stewart but with less of the angst thing going on. I found some other pictures of the girl playing Noelle, and the pictures were SO Noelle! She portrayed all of Noelle's confidence and attitude. I also looked up some other pictures of Brant, who's playing Thomas...whoever says he isn't hot clearly hasn't seen some of his modeling pics!

Posted by Kelli on June 29, 2009 at 04:44 PM EDT #

srry this is gonna be really random but i think Reed REALLY LOOKS LIKE sohpia bush (from one tree hill and john tucker must die). theyre both rlly pretty!

Posted by mely on June 29, 2009 at 04:59 PM EDT #

hey is is just me or does NICOLE look rlly different in her audition video than the pictures?! haha shes pretty either way though

Posted by mely on June 29, 2009 at 05:04 PM EDT #

I should be the next Billings Girl! The cast looks okay...I hope the guys are hottt!!! Thomas is a super hunk!! Is Dash going to be in the show?!! I would soo steel him from Noelle!!!! so excited!

Posted by privategirl9 on June 29, 2009 at 05:16 PM EDT #

I really hope it is that Sanna girl she is almost exactly what I picture for Kiran Hayes. It might also be the fact that I personally know a Kiran and so I just basically see that girl as Kiran Hayes.

Posted by Nicole on June 29, 2009 at 06:25 PM EDT #

Janine's audition was hands down the best and its hard to believe Nicole is the youngest because she looks to be older than Janine. Sanna doesn't look right for the role at all in my opinion. Go Janine!!!

Posted by Chris S on June 29, 2009 at 07:32 PM EDT #

Hey Kate, this isn't relevant to the contest, but I wanted to say that I had a dream about the next book the other night. I dreamed that the ending of Paradise Lost was actually a hallucination Reed was having because she was pregnant. O_o And Suspicion began with her having the baby. It was weird.

Posted by Sue Ellen on June 29, 2009 at 07:54 PM EDT #

nicole looks the most as how i portrayed kiran, i deffintelty think she should win. if not her(even though i want her to win) i guessss sannna but i really would like nicole. and whose playing noelle and reed?

Posted by breaaa on June 29, 2009 at 08:54 PM EDT #

I just finished watching all of their audition tapes and Sanna Is the only who can act. None of them look like Billings material but honestly by choosing Sanna would get my vote. I was just wondering I thought the fans voted on Sugarloot on who they thought should be finalist the girl first(1st) isn't even one of them and she was really pretty Kiran material..LOL

Posted by Megan on June 29, 2009 at 09:00 PM EDT #

Out of interest how many of you have seen the audition videos. It seems like most of you are basing your opinions on just the looks of the actors. Looking like the characters is not enough they must be able to emulate the spirit of the character, and have similar chemistry as the characters in the books.

Posted by Jerry Smith on June 29, 2009 at 10:17 PM EDT #

its not about the pictures its about the audition. they might have taken a bad pic that day or something

Posted by RenaeKaitlin on June 29, 2009 at 10:18 PM EDT #

I really hope Sanna wins, this could be her big break. (she is my big sis)

Posted by John on June 29, 2009 at 10:22 PM EDT #

I honestly think Janine should definitely win! She looks like Kiran... I LOVE the private books so much I just finished Privileged and I have to say I'm not that impressed with the girl who is playing Ariana, I think she should have longer hair, and for some reason I always pictured Thomas with red hair, I don't know why, i just did! LOL Can't wait for the TV show or is it a Movie? I think a movie would be better! Can't wait! ahhh!

Posted by Mariah-biggest PRIVATE fan ever! on June 29, 2009 at 10:47 PM EDT #

where can i see the 3 finalist auditions?

Posted by pau on June 30, 2009 at 04:14 AM EDT #

I really hope its Janine 'cause shes the prettiest and from reading the books Kiran is the most Gorgeous model...But not exactly how i pictured it BUT....Im sooooooooo excited for the show, can't wait! <3 <3 <3

Posted by Koryn on June 30, 2009 at 05:59 AM EDT #

Janine all the way!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Koko on June 30, 2009 at 09:11 AM EDT #

Either Janine or Nicole!

Posted by Briana on June 30, 2009 at 12:11 PM EDT #

janine!!!!!!!

Posted by jennie on June 30, 2009 at 02:06 PM EDT #

I'm rooting for Janine. I wish Sanna and Nicole the best of luck! Sanna's pix wasnt the best, but audition was KEWL!! Janine really got in the mood and all!

Posted by tyra on June 30, 2009 at 02:11 PM EDT #

omg..totally nicole or janine..no offense to sanna!! it's just they look more like a kiran hayes!! btw, can't wait to see the webseries..!!

Posted by Maura on June 30, 2009 at 02:14 PM EDT #

Even though some of the characters don't match up what I thought in my head I'm still soo excited!! Its almost as its all coming to life instead of me just making it up. I just don't know why thomas's brother is a main character. He only showed up at thomas's funeral and barely said anything. But I can't wait to see Gage and Dash!!!! Oh and Ivy too!

Posted by Lauren on June 30, 2009 at 03:21 PM EDT #

I NEED THE FIRST CHAPTER OF SUSPICION OR SOMETHING!! I'm re-reading all of the books because i can't get enough!! lol

Posted by lauren on June 30, 2009 at 03:26 PM EDT #

I'm rooting for Nicole!

Posted by Cammie on June 30, 2009 at 03:46 PM EDT #

I'm gonna go for Nicole. Non of these characters are what I expected them to look like, except for Reed. Taylor Bell is absolutely nothing of whhom I predicted would play her role. But whatever. it's the acting that matters, I guess... The characters that I chose were; Noelle Lange-Megan Fox Kiran Hayes- Nikki Reed Ariana Osgood- Elisabeth Harnois Taylor Bell- Laura Ramsey Ivy Slade- Ashley SImpson Josh Hollis- Jeremy Sumpter[: Dash McCaffery- Chase Crawford Gage Coolidge- Ed Westwick Trey Prescott- Quanell Mosley I was sooo looking forward to seeing Josh ! But the guy they chose isn't really cute...

that nicole girl should be ariana

I like Janine. She's pretty.

Posted by miss jordan. on June 30, 2009 at 07:07 PM EDT #

my favorite is janine

Posted by darla on June 30, 2009 at 08:18 PM EDT #

OMG NICOLE SHOULD TOTALLY WIN!!! JANINE LOOKS HOW I WOULD PICTURE TAYLOR...EXCEPT W/ BLONDE HAIR. 2 INNOCENT. SANNA IS JUST PLAIN UGLY. LOOKS LIKE A MAN. HEY, DON'T BE MAD AT ME! I CALL 'EM LIKE I SEE 'EM. <3 JILL 4EVER

Posted by Jill on June 30, 2009 at 08:46 PM EDT #

I like nicole and janine. Sanna just didn't feel like the kiran i pictured. btw kate, please x infinity put on some of suspicion. i neeeeeeeeeeeed it badly

Posted by Briana lilianos on June 30, 2009 at 08:58 PM EDT #

i honestly don't care who win's it whoever the judges decides is best for our kiran hayes. i'm not one to beg but do you think you could put the first chapter of suspicion for us? only if you can of course if you can't it fine. and i read on kate brians twitter she gave us a little hint on suspicion saying : a long lost beloved character makes a cameo apperance... so i guess just think of that

Posted by megan mclaughlin on June 30, 2009 at 09:09 PM EDT #

definately janine. she's looks like a diva, like kiran. i'm a little disappointed with noelle's character's hair though. dark hair ftw

Posted by Kat on June 30, 2009 at 10:39 PM EDT #

i think nicole should win she is the most like kiran for me. janine should play taylor bell. and maybe sanna could be an extra. like a billings girl or something. i really don't care who wins as long as they can act like kiran=)

Posted by clara on July 01, 2009 at 11:31 AM EDT #

im voting for Nicole! she has the tan skin Kiran sorta has and the look that looks like a bad girl!

Posted by bianca on July 01, 2009 at 02:46 PM EDT #

I think Janine or Nicole would fit the best for Kiran, but where are the audition tapes? I realllyyy want to see them! I'm pumped! :)

Posted by Ersa on July 01, 2009 at 03:34 PM EDT #

OMG!!!!!!! Sanna should totally be Kiran. She looks mre like a model than the rest of them. Just look at her - killer cheekbones!!!!

Posted by Riela on July 01, 2009 at 03:42 PM EDT #

I picture Sanna of a more Kiran than the others. Her personality also fits the part, so I guess that's a bonus.

Posted by Coco C. on July 01, 2009 at 05:53 PM EDT #

i def like nicole. she seems like more of a model than sanna or janine.

Posted by kolbie on July 01, 2009 at 07:40 PM EDT #

I think these girls will do really good! I cant decide which one i like the best. I just finished Lost Paradise and i dont like the ending. Is Reed really dead? Who killed her? Sorry if i runied this fro anyone. I just really want to know what happened.

Posted by Mickey on July 02, 2009 at 10:16 AM EDT #

This link will take you to the auditon tapes. http://sugarloot.teen.com/leaderboard?CID=488684507 It all doesn't matter because the decision has already been made by the judges, we will have to wait until July 15th to find out.

Posted by lulu on July 02, 2009 at 10:22 AM EDT #

I am so hoping that the girl in the middle, Janine was cast. Mygirls and I definately see her as a Billings girl. Just what I pictured.

Posted by lilon on July 02, 2009 at 10:24 AM EDT #

Hey Kate do you think you can give us a little info on suspicion?? Please!! :)

Posted by Mickey on July 02, 2009 at 10:26 AM EDT #

Well, Nicole's the prettiest, but she doesn't look too mean. Actually, Kiran isn't supposed to be really mean, right? I don't know. I think Nicole or Janine would be best for the role. :) Anyways, LOOOOVE the books, I hope the series will be as good as them ^^ PS: Nicole reminds me of Hermione from the Harry Potter movies. Riiiiight???

Posted by Marie on July 02, 2009 at 03:19 PM EDT #

janine is totally my favorite i think she looks exactly like kiran! i LOVE these books i hope they never ever end!!!

HAHA HEY! i just realized so is joshes dad!! lol jkjk

Posted by Meagan on July 02, 2009 at 06:14 PM EDT #

OMG JANINE would make the perfect Kiran!! I hope they cast her....the other two look so old... they would stick out like a sore thumb. her audition was killer. and kate pleaaase post the first chapter! i love all your books! <3

Posted by Sam on July 02, 2009 at 09:35 PM EDT #

Whose with me!!! And and p.s Kate omg beautiful Disaster was Amazing!!!!!!! i loved it!!!!! and i cant wait til suspicion!!!!!!!

Posted by Morgan on July 02, 2009 at 10:07 PM EDT #

Nicole or Janine, only with dark hair. OMG! If Noelle doesn't have like jet-black hair, I'm going to be seriously upset!!

Posted by Lucy on July 03, 2009 at 09:12 AM EDT #

i think nicole would b the best for this role. she also has really great looks

Posted by Noelle on July 03, 2009 at 12:09 PM EDT #

i like Janine, even though she isn't exactly the way i pictured kiran as kate described her, but, she has great looks and previous experience with acting. i just can't wait 2 c it! i've read ALL! the books...including privilege, and i'm hoping that the new series will do the books justice and the actors will look like kate described them 4 the most part.

Posted by AllisonB1991 on July 03, 2009 at 01:15 PM EDT #

I think janine. But why dont they hurry up and pick her!? Plus..i dont like the guy who they picked for Josh...

Posted by briana on July 03, 2009 at 02:50 PM EDT #

Word around the industry is that the dude playing Thomas is really owning his part and blowing everybody away. O MG i cant wait to see this!!!

Sorry maybe I've missed something on this site but could someone please tell me where on here is the pictures for the characters they have already cast? I heard people talk about it on this blog so it has me very curious.

Posted by Tessandra Carr on July 04, 2009 at 02:02 PM EDT #

okayy nicole definatly! she looks great for Kiran;tough, pretty, and young! sanna needs a chin job and Janine just doesn't look tough enough. plus she needs kto dye her hair darker. I always thought kiran had liike brown black hair. maybe that's just me? kbye! xoKatie(:

Posted by Katie on July 04, 2009 at 05:39 PM EDT #

personaly i like nicole from the picture because she just looks like how i would imagin kiran.. as for the rest of the cast the people absolutley dont look like the people i imagined and also why is taylor african? i thought she had blonde curly hair?

Posted by CW on July 04, 2009 at 07:05 PM EDT #

OMG i think alll of the girls would be PERFECT for the role!!! It will be sooo hard to decide!! and i dont get it??? Are the Private novels over and the Privilege ones are next or are they totally different??? I soooo hope the private novels are NOT over!! I just finished Paradise Lost and it can NOT!!!!! be the last one!! if it is i will be soo upset I LOVE these books!!!!! ot only took me like Two months to read them all including shipping days lol and Kate, you are sooo good!!! the books are totally amazing and the details are GREAT!! i An excited for the show but i hope it is just as good as the books!!! if it isnt ai will be sooo disappionted!!! An please can someone tell me if they are over?!?!?!?!? :)

Posted by Elizabeth!! on July 04, 2009 at 08:09 PM EDT #

NICOLE

Posted by haunani on July 04, 2009 at 11:19 PM EDT #

The novels aren't over. There's still Suspicion and after that, I don't know how many are left. But I like Nicole and Janine! Sanna is ugly, although her hair is how I imagined Kiran's.

Posted by Bianca on July 05, 2009 at 12:19 AM EDT #

Wooooooooooh Go Nicole :] I think with black hair, janine would make a good Kiran & to me, Nicole looks more like Ariana!!!!!!! Cannot wait about the series staring!!! i wont shut up xxxxxx

Posted by Nicole Raybaud on July 05, 2009 at 07:34 AM EDT #

I think Janine should be Kiran, she just has that "look"! GO JANINE!

Posted by Anonomyus on July 05, 2009 at 12:50 PM EDT #

After Suspicion it's Scandal. I don't know much after that.

Posted by Tyra Samone' on July 05, 2009 at 04:04 PM EDT #

I really want to read the first chapter of suspicion! I think it's a great idea. September can't come fast enough!

Posted by Allison on July 05, 2009 at 04:43 PM EDT #

I totally think Nicole should be it. She's the prettiest in a tough way also. Janine looks too gullible and doesn't fit to be the part of Kiran. Sanna doesn't look like the delicate model that makes mistakes like Kiran does. Nicole's prettier too.

Posted by Vickay on July 05, 2009 at 05:22 PM EDT #

Go sanna

Posted by jkjj on July 05, 2009 at 07:52 PM EDT #

I agree, Josh is FUGLY! Thomas is kinda cute. But I don't like the guy for Josh at all, he's one of my favorite characters, yet again, screwed up. I do like Reed though!

Posted by Bianca on July 06, 2009 at 12:15 AM EDT #

Im voting for Sanna. Kiran has dark hair and so des she-Plus her audition was AMAZING! does the webseris start the 21st? or is that when they announce the winner of Kiran??? cuz im really confused.

Posted by lexagirl on July 06, 2009 at 09:25 AM EDT #

Lexagirl - You can't "vote" for Sanna. The voting has been over for like a month and even then us voters couldn't determine who would be chosen. It's all up to the judges. At this point though a Kiran has already been chosen; we just have to wait until July 21st to find out!

Posted by Ali on July 06, 2009 at 10:29 AM EDT #

LET'S HAVE A WHOLE NEW CONTEST! That way everyone will be happy!....especially, if they are the winner!

Posted by sisi on July 06, 2009 at 10:57 AM EDT #

I liked Sanna's video the best. Her picture could have been more flattering...She looked super pretty in her video! They all are!

Posted by Tia on July 06, 2009 at 01:00 PM EDT #

When is Suspicion coming out!?!?!?!?!? And is it the next private novel or is it a privilege novel???? Totally looking forward to the show but all the cast SUCKS except for Reed!!!!!!!

Posted by Elizabeth!! on July 06, 2009 at 04:29 PM EDT #

I think that Nicole fits the part the best. Nicole should win!

Posted by Sarah on July 06, 2009 at 05:54 PM EDT #

I think Nicole and Janine fit the part the best.

Posted by gracelyn on July 06, 2009 at 06:25 PM EDT #

I hope Janine won :-) I spoke to her several time on Sugarloot and she is a super sweet. Her audition was by far the best of these three. I feel like she went to LA with the most skills. Hope she gets a part!

Posted by Logen on July 06, 2009 at 08:46 PM EDT #

I think Nicole looks like a good person for Kiran. She has that older, super-modely look that Kiran is said to have. Janine looks really pretty so she is for sure my second choice. I think Nicole would look better than her in the show though because she looks kind of young. But who knows? (:

Posted by jessssica lynnn ? on July 06, 2009 at 10:52 PM EDT #

i say definitly Nicole. She looks so much like the Kiran i pictured in my head.

Posted by Nicole on July 07, 2009 at 12:55 AM EDT #

i think only the cast for Reed was suitable. where can i see the audtion tapes???!

Posted by SASHIMI on July 07, 2009 at 06:17 AM EDT #

NOOO JANINE, Janine, Janine. SHOULD DEFInitely win. I think shes prettier, but no offense(if its taken) im black sooo thats who I think is prettier but maybe its different to you guys???? I dunno, or maybe im just weird. Newwayyyss. YEAH ;)

Posted by Niya on July 07, 2009 at 12:12 PM EDT #

Oh, and the Kiran I pictured in my head was more model pretty and not so...normal pretty like...Adrina Lima or however you spell it, but its whoever auditions...soo....yeah. I just wish I could see the front of sanna's face cause im too lazy to watch the videos. :/

Posted by Niya on July 07, 2009 at 12:20 PM EDT #

From the pictures I like Nicole the best, I REALLY like who they chose for Reed

Posted by Bee on July 07, 2009 at 03:15 PM EDT #

i think nicole or janine fit the part the best :D they look like they just need darker hair

Posted by Jacinta on July 07, 2009 at 06:39 PM EDT #

JANINE,, i think she would make the cast perfect. her video was the great and she has the image of kiran that i imagined. but i wish VEE was chosen from sugarloot she is the all time perfect kiran. ohh well, janine is great <33 ily kate briannn.

Posted by michelle. on July 07, 2009 at 06:51 PM EDT #

So, I was thinking about how whenever a show begins, there's a song that plays. Like for gossip girl, My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne is played and well youih know what I mean. Well, I have a few song choices and i'll post them up when they keep popping in my head. But for now; I thin kthat the song; Who's that girl by Hilary Duff should be used because it totally explains it. Lyrics; who's that girl, where's she from, no she can't be the one, that youh want, that has stolen my world, it's not real, it's not right, it's my day, it's my night, by the wayyy, who's that girl, living my life. I thin kit explains how reed moves into the picture and takes thomas away from ariana and how she's living ariana's life :D

Posted by Samantha on July 07, 2009 at 06:57 PM EDT #

GO SANNA=D

Posted by JASMINE JONAS on July 07, 2009 at 08:44 PM EDT #

i really think nicole would be best for the part of kiran:) she totally looks like she could pull the part off:D so good luck nicole

Posted by christina on July 07, 2009 at 08:58 PM EDT #

I'm a huge fan of your books, I absolutely love them. Your writing is so ah-mazing, I really hope I can write like you someday. I just learned today that this was going to be a tv show. I've been offline and laying in bed all summer, HA HA. =) Hopefully Noelle's hair will be darker, because that's how it was in the book, I'm pretty sure. I never pictrued Taylor like that, and she also seems really unsure about herself, I noticed from the video of "meeting the cast." Hopefully it's different for the show. Good luck to everyone who's in(or auditioning for) the show, and I really, really hope it's the best.

Posted by Brittany West on July 07, 2009 at 08:58 PM EDT #

oh also wat is the next book and when is it coming out??

Posted by christina on July 07, 2009 at 08:59 PM EDT #

im srry but taylor bell is supposed to have blonde hair and blue eyes. the person playing her is dark-skinned. she looks nothing like the way i pic. taylor or the way she is described in the book.

Posted by skp0310 on July 07, 2009 at 09:51 PM EDT #

The next book is Suspicion and it comes out in September :)

Posted by Bianca on July 07, 2009 at 10:27 PM EDT #

I know that this is random and dumb but i pictures taylor swift as taylor bell becuz of there inocent faces and girly blond hair !! lmao. no big thgh. But i think ariana's actor is STUNNING and that reed is pretty . ( i always pic'd'red meagan fox and noelle and sofia bush as reed ..:( but i new that wouldnt be the case so you did great kate !! im so happy and go sanna ! you have great skills with acting im rooting for you !! Love Alway~s, chloe G

Posted by chloe g on July 08, 2009 at 02:48 AM EDT #

PERFECT SONGS FOR SHOWW I THINK OF PRIVAT WHEN I HEAR THEM !!!!!! LOVE STORY: REED/THOMAS ( BY TAYLOR SWIFT!!) AND THAT OTHER SONG BY HER BREATHE?????? WHEN JOSH DUMPS HERE IT CAPTURES HER HEART BREAKE AMAZZINGGGLLYYY !!!! taylor swift has some good songs

Janine & nicole are both gorgeous, either of them i'd be happy with. Nicole is beauitful, though nothing special. Janine is cute. Tbh, Sanna looks like a man. She is SOO UGLY. Sorry.

Posted by :D on July 08, 2009 at 05:43 PM EDT #

Nicole all the way. She has most of the qualities karen have i think she should be karen.

Finally iam so excited the webseries is commin i have been waiting for it i love the characters for everyone. ALthough i wish janine winns i liked her audition she looked pretty and perfect for the job hope she wins!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Italia on July 09, 2009 at 12:44 AM EDT #

Very Janine. If you actually look over at the Auditioning videos on sugerloot, they ALL look totally DIFFERENT! If the Looks counted the most, I think Janine should win. She looks very different from the pictures to the audition tape. Sanna would be my second pick because her acting skills are GREAT. And Nicole? Ehhmmm... Not so much. Even though she looks great in the Picture, when you look at her audition video she looks SO different! She just looks like a very normal girl. Just average.

Posted by Jacqueline on July 09, 2009 at 01:01 AM EDT #

Nicole

Posted by Taylor on July 09, 2009 at 04:16 AM EDT #

Definitely Nicole, if she gets a haircut and her hair dyed. Also... I love Reed's character. Noelle's if the person's hair is dyed. Everyone else? Not how I pictured them. At all. D: Especially Josh, ew..

Posted by Sarah on July 09, 2009 at 05:36 AM EDT #

reed is so pretty :) but all the other charachters are not how i imagined them :( the boys are really ugly and are not worthy of being on the show. i think janine :)

Posted by emily russell on July 09, 2009 at 09:41 AM EDT #

eeew josh is soo ugly and ariana does not look how i think she should look like. thomas is okay, but the only one i like is reed. shes good for the part. i think either nicole or janine.

Posted by sabrina on July 09, 2009 at 11:38 AM EDT #

I think that Janine should be Kiran because she's very pretty and knows about Connecticut

Posted by Emma on July 09, 2009 at 12:31 PM EDT #

I think that the only person who looked like their part was Reed and Ariana. Taylor-WRONG, Noelle-WRONG, Josh and Thomas-WRONG. I'm also such a huge fan of these books that I really don't think I'm going to watch the series because it could possibly ruin the books... :( I really don't want that. Too many movies, shows, mini-series have ruined them...

Posted by Madison on July 09, 2009 at 01:50 PM EDT #

hey kate alot of your fans are being really critical about the cast but what did they think the people in their head is going to match the actual cast i mean ya some of the people arent what i imagine but they work. i just wanted to say dont wory about what they say i bet the webseries is going to rock im sure you wont make it totally different from the books well good luck !!!

Posted by linda on July 09, 2009 at 02:40 PM EDT #

I think Nicole is right for the part. I think she has the look, for sure. The other girls are both very beautiful, but I think Nicole would be the best choice, based on looks.

Posted by Grace on July 09, 2009 at 02:57 PM EDT #

Good Luck to all of the girls. They all had good auditions, but I like Nicole the best too. I was bummed that I didn't get the call but everything works out. I have a national commercial call now! I just got back from NY where I auditioned for a few projects too. So to all of the girls who didn't get this gig, keep working and good things will come. Good Luck to all of you! Can't wait to watch the series.

Posted by Haleigh on July 09, 2009 at 03:30 PM EDT #

I personally think everyone is beautiful and will do amazing! All three girls have great looks and could all play the part.

Okay so i know this isn't really the exact place i should put this comment but im really confused about private.. is the seris done? are there any more books? if you have time please email me the answer a spankie.123@gmail.com thank you and srry again i just couldn't find the answers online.

Posted by Foram on July 09, 2009 at 11:34 PM EDT #

Haha okay well i read some of the comments and i noticed that everyone really against Sanna for the part of Kiran because she doesn't look the part but no offennce but i always imagined Kiran as a brunnete, but from the 3 i think Nicole should get the part

Posted by Jenna on July 09, 2009 at 11:38 PM EDT #

Kiran IS a brunette. But Sanna isn't pretty enough to play her. The other girls are perfect, maybe they could die their hair.

Posted by Bianca on July 10, 2009 at 12:53 AM EDT #

i like nicole the best 2...i'm sorry, but the others are no competition for her...like according to looks

Posted by Jeny on July 10, 2009 at 01:27 AM EDT #

Posted by morgan on July 10, 2009 at 04:28 PM EDT #

Okay I'm a 20 something year old male who is an extra on the series. Everyone is doing an awesome job portraying the characters. I've read the first 2 books and and just started Untouchable. Relax people, so the actors don't look like the characters you picture, big deal, it's more important that they embody the characters and become them and every cast member is doing that. They are all awesome people and doing a great job, the person playing Kiran included. I think you will all be pleased with the work everyone has put in. I'm totally not the demographic for these books or the series but I cannot wait to see how everything turns out.

Posted by Chris S on July 10, 2009 at 05:20 PM EDT #

i can't wait for the web series to start.I love all the books so much.I'm not entirely sure who i want to win but i think either janine or nicole should win.They're more like how i pictured kiran.But where is dash?Is someone playing his character yet?

Posted by Destiny on July 10, 2009 at 06:03 PM EDT #

I really wish you would gear your blogs more towards the actual books, I can watch just any tv show or web series and be entertained, but it takes real talent for literature to enrapture you in a story like the Private series does.

i love the private series but i don't think the webseries will be very good, no offence. the books are the best and i think that they will be ruined if there is a webseries. gossip girl is way better as a tv series than the books but it will be the other way round for private the books will be way better and the charachters in the book are nothing like the charachters chosen for the series except for reed who is almost perfect. why can't you use the girls that are on the fromt of the books? they are way better!

WHEN DO WE FIND OUT WHAT NOELLE'S SCAR IS FROM????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????

Posted by Taylor on July 11, 2009 at 10:03 PM EDT #

for those of you asking, the audition videos can be seen on sugarloot

Posted by kelly blan on July 11, 2009 at 10:09 PM EDT #

omg janine is the perfect fit! she is so gorgeous and she just seems natural, the other two are good two but janine is definitely the best!

Posted by kt on July 12, 2009 at 03:56 AM EDT #

I know that we don't have a vote, But I also hope that Janine got the part. She is how I picture my Kiran.

Posted by hanna on July 12, 2009 at 08:27 AM EDT #

ok so first i was skeptical of the choices made. especially for thomas and josh. i actually really like thomas now and josh...well im warming up to him.

Posted by Mary Hollis on July 12, 2009 at 09:24 AM EDT #

I'm voting for Jannie. i think the others look too old and she's really pretty.

Posted by Rebecca on July 12, 2009 at 12:44 PM EDT #

Go Nicole! Most lke what I picture Kiran Hayes.

Posted by Taylor on July 12, 2009 at 01:06 PM EDT #

i think kiran should be nicole. she is the closest to how i pictured kiran in the books. the choice is in your hands though! btw i thomas is gorgeous.

Posted by kourtney on July 12, 2009 at 03:41 PM EDT #

none of them are right!

Posted by Sophey Soapey on July 12, 2009 at 05:37 PM EDT #

id say nicole is best. from the pics she looks like the best choice. oh and great pick for thomas... hes HOT!

Posted by lyndsey on July 12, 2009 at 09:11 PM EDT #

I'm sooo rooting for janine...she's sooo pretty and a great actress. I think she's be amazing as the Kiran.

Posted by Ruth on July 12, 2009 at 09:17 PM EDT #

I looked at the 3 auditions on sugarloot and I loved Janine's best. She also has a fresh look about her. If she doesn't get the Kiran role I hope that they cast her anyway. She looks like a billing girl! Can't wait to see the reality show!

Posted by jenna on July 12, 2009 at 10:32 PM EDT #

NICOLE ALL THE FREAKING WAY! you would have to be so stupid not to see that out of these three, nicole is perfect, she just looks like kiran.

Posted by smchinday on July 13, 2009 at 11:39 AM EDT #

um kiran has dark brown hair... not blonde

Posted by abigail on July 13, 2009 at 11:52 AM EDT #

It doesn't matter what the characters look like. At least we have a webseries to watch. Come on Kate! Post another blog. I'm dying to know what's up!

Posted by Tyra Samone' on July 13, 2009 at 01:51 PM EDT #

Sanna's audition was good. Its just a bad pix of her. I'm rooting for all of them. Gosh people...get over the looks. It's called props. Mayb Samantha will wear a wig.

Posted by Tyra Samone' on July 13, 2009 at 01:53 PM EDT #

Jannie or Nicole. Nicole looks like Kiren but Jannie is the better actress.

Posted by Ariana on July 13, 2009 at 04:10 PM EDT #

Go Sanna!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Karina on July 13, 2009 at 06:12 PM EDT #

what's the difference vicky? between dark brown and brown my bad jeez can't wait till the webseries i think either of the girls can pull it off for kiran there all great:] if you guys obviously havent seen the 3 girls auditions cuz there all wonderful. and there nothing wrong with them.

Posted by kelli on July 13, 2009 at 07:57 PM EDT #

i like nicole the best!! she's really pretty and what i imaginied kiran to look like!! good luck girls!! :D

Posted by mireya on July 14, 2009 at 03:26 AM EDT #

so i think the web series will be alright, but nothing could compare to the books. i think that they did an ok job of picking the cast. im soo ready for suspicion. i just wanna no what its about

Posted by Stephanie on July 14, 2009 at 12:28 PM EDT #

The link: http://sugarloot.teen.com/private I'm still going for Janine, then Sanna... Nicole needed to use the script.

Posted by Sara on July 14, 2009 at 01:32 PM EDT #

nicole all the way, she looks the part much more then any of them

Posted by Katrina on July 14, 2009 at 03:20 PM EDT #

What do Josh's parents do for a living again??

Posted by Natalie on July 14, 2009 at 03:29 PM EDT #

Well I looked at all the audition tapes, and, I know I know, I don't have a vote! BUT, I hope Janine is in the webseries. She is a great fit. All the girls did well, and hope that the experience alone was awsome. Janine just seems like such a billing girl. Can't wait to see who won and the start of the webseries!

Posted by jenny on July 14, 2009 at 03:35 PM EDT #

Hey everybody!! I'm cheering for Nicole... i think that she fits the part the best and i think she can bring that beauty and power thats needed. Go Nicole!!!

Posted by Marissa on July 14, 2009 at 03:53 PM EDT #

So I know this haas nothing to do with the blog entry but... NOELLE CANT BE BLOND!!! it goes against everything.. In the book she is descibed as a dark haired beauty. I think the show will go into the blond barbie stereotype if Samantha Cope (Noelle) stays blond. And if she doesnt suit the dark hair I dont know why she got the part. Noelle just cant be blond.

Posted by Ultimate Private Fan on July 14, 2009 at 04:41 PM EDT #

well, just from looking at the pictures, i would most definitely choose nicole

Posted by joanna on July 14, 2009 at 06:59 PM EDT #

I have no idea who I'm rooting for. As long as Kiran is a great actress, it's all good. Janine's really good at acting. Sanna is wicked pretty. And Nicole is as well. And so what if she had to use the script? Maybe she was in a hurry to post the video up. Obviously, if the producers didn't see potential in her and the lines, they wouldn't pick her. Also, sorry for freaking out on the whole brown hair thing. That was totally unnecessary of me. It just bugs me. Whatever. I don't need haters online. Haha. :)

Posted by Simone on July 14, 2009 at 08:33 PM EDT #

i was really disappointed when i saw who got cast as ariana. she simply doesn't have that 'ethereal' beauty thing going for her, like kate describes in the book. she looks too innocent. and she doesnt seem cut out for the role of ariana.

Posted by maisarah on July 15, 2009 at 04:48 AM EDT #

Sanna and Nicole is beautiful and great.....

Posted by Haniz on July 15, 2009 at 06:30 AM EDT #

I really wanted to see the new videos, but I can't because I'm living in the Netherlands and the videos are not authorized for NL :'( :'( I really really really really hope I can see the real series!! btw, I think Janine is the best of three

Posted by Imke on July 15, 2009 at 07:44 AM EDT #

definitely nicole. sanna is hideous and does NOT look like the totally hott model kiran picture that i have in my mind when i read the books. i guess janine is okay but not so great....just definitely NOT sanna.

Posted by amanda on July 15, 2009 at 10:08 AM EDT #

Fer sure its Janine maybe Nicole

Posted by Zachari on July 15, 2009 at 12:04 PM EDT #

ok so im confused does kiran have blonde or brown hair??? some say blonde some say brown! either way i think janine it the best suited for kiran she looks the most like a model :) they are all pretty but janine has a certain quality about her that reminds me ok kiram :):):)

Posted by charlotte silcox on July 15, 2009 at 12:06 PM EDT #

from the looks of all the girls nicole looks exactly how i imagined kiran. she is exremely pretty like the rst but niicole just seems to fit wut i think kiran should look like.

Posted by private lover on July 15, 2009 at 12:27 PM EDT #

i think janine. i think the girls playing taylor and noelle need to switch places based on the way the charactors are described physically in the book but watever it doesnt matter i guess

Posted by erin on July 15, 2009 at 03:15 PM EDT #

Nicole is the best Kiran hands down!

Posted by DeAnna on July 15, 2009 at 04:09 PM EDT #

Janinee!

Posted by Rachel on July 15, 2009 at 05:29 PM EDT #

Just watched the cast videos...I LOVE the cast! The girl playing Noelle is PERFECT. Perfect. Only way I can describe her. The guys are darling...I'm already in love with Thomas! I love the girl playing Reed, too! I can't wait for the webseries!

Posted by Kelli on July 15, 2009 at 06:14 PM EDT #

I think Janine is the best choice.

Posted by Brooke on July 15, 2009 at 06:36 PM EDT #

does noelle not have a boyfriend in the web show?

Posted by Galexiya on July 15, 2009 at 08:13 PM EDT #

nicole FTW :) <3

Posted by matt wong on July 15, 2009 at 10:49 PM EDT #

I am rooting for nicole. when does the webseries start?? I really want to see it but i'm in england, will it work??? X

Posted by Hannah Tayler on July 16, 2009 at 05:43 AM EDT #

i think that nicole looks more like i thought kiran would look. but when do the series start?

Posted by joss on July 16, 2009 at 07:16 PM EDT #

THEY NEED A Dash McCafferty ON THE SHOW! Dash, as described in the books is WAY hotter then thomas :]

Posted by :] on July 16, 2009 at 09:16 PM EDT #

THE WEBSERIES STARTS JULY 21!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

Posted by Tyra Samone' on July 16, 2009 at 10:11 PM EDT #

Please,,,can we not hate on the characters. Ever since the series came out, everyone has been saying 'WE WANT A SHOW!' and know that we have one it's all. Oh she's too ugly or she can't be blonde and all this other stuff. Obvi it didn't matter. Kate has no control over who does and doesn't get the part...stop blaming her if you are. I just want a webseries. I don't care who wins or not. I want a PRIVATE webseries! Pecace home skittles!

Posted by Tyra Samone' on July 16, 2009 at 10:16 PM EDT #

I think for looks wise,Nicole is the best candidate for Kiran. I can't wait for this movie to come out! I love The Private series and Privilege series too ;D!

Posted by Karla on July 16, 2009 at 10:24 PM EDT #

I just saw the cast for the webisodes and i thought that drew roy would've been a better thomas. he's a cutie and he's played some bad boy roles beforee. But i think kelsey sanders fits the person playing reed perfectly!

Posted by Abby on July 16, 2009 at 10:44 PM EDT #

Did you know that the girl that plays reed is in a singing group?

Posted by amber selina on July 17, 2009 at 03:14 PM EDT #

Ekk! The WebShow is ALMOST HERE! Four More DAYS!!!!

Posted by tyra on July 17, 2009 at 07:27 PM EDT #

I really loved the books and am looking forward to the web show. I'm sure Noelle might do something with her hair and if not that's fine too. I agree with the whole needing a Dash thing. I think the web series would suck without him. Just ditch Blake for him! I also think people should stop complaining about the characters and asking for the cover models! Maybe the models can't act at all. Anyway the biggest thing is WE NEED DASH! I hope you can pull a few strings for that one Kate! :)

Posted by Maria on July 17, 2009 at 09:50 PM EDT #

i love the characters, but again it needs to be said WE NEED DASH ! ! ! ! hope that if the charcter is found that he looks like an A&F model as thats how i've always imagined him!HOTTT ! lol, oh well i was a little diappointed in the josh hollis actor to play him...not really how i imagined him to be...ohwell! oooh kate would really liek to watch the videos up on the website...but can't as it says its not available in my regom help!...thanks kate for writing such amazing books! especially the PRIVATE SERIES ! p.s whens the next book out?...i read paradise lost...amazing! but really wanna read some more!

Go Janie!!!! She is totally the best and the prettiest one there and would make a gr8 Kiran!!

Posted by Avery on July 18, 2009 at 12:44 PM EDT #

god Janine looks way to young! Sanna looks too old, well for Kiran and i think Nicole would be the best Kiran, her description anyway!

Posted by Alexa on July 18, 2009 at 03:08 PM EDT #

HEY, people. Please explain. OH MY GOD. What does a web series mean? Meaning a show or what? And when's the date of release for the show? I'm so terribly confused. Oh and Nicole looks the best...as of so far but I cant really see that clearly. Janine is just too.. baby face? So not model-type. I mean let's be serious, she doesnt have that high fashion model look. Sanna's kinda creepy. Pale.

Posted by clau on July 18, 2009 at 03:17 PM EDT #

Ok. Im rooting for Janine and Nicole. Janine..if she got "the attitude" down, she would totally win. Only 4 MORE DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by Briana on July 18, 2009 at 03:28 PM EDT #

i really like janine! i hope she wins. and plus, she's from connecticut just like me so that makes me like her even moreee. go janine! (:

Posted by miranda on July 18, 2009 at 04:53 PM EDT #

for the actors playing the private characters, i think that reed is perfetct for the part!!! taylor is NOTHINGlike what i expected her to look like...i imagined her as the girl in orange in Confessions. thomas is sooo hot!!! but i imagined him to be darker skinned. josh looks nothing like his character, i wished he had a rounder face and sweeter side, and hes supposed to have curls!!! noelle also disappointed me--shes supposed to have darkers skin, wavy brown hair, and isnt supposed to be an airhead!!!!!!!!! ariana doesnt look wispy and delicate:( i just hope dash turns out to be as hot as i imagined him to be <3

Posted by melody on July 18, 2009 at 09:00 PM EDT #

kate brian i love your books sooo much, youre the best writer EVER!!! i know its not up to you to manage the actors, but please, whatever you do, dont forget to tell the script writers that we want noelle's hair to be dark...maybe if she dyed her hair?? thank you so much for delivering to us such a great series, youre such a fine asset to the writing industry!!!!!!! i really hope that you continue to write more Private novels that make the series even moe perfect than it is!!! just some random ideas for the series: -noelle could become a really close friend to reed -reed and josh can get back together -what if kiran was involved in one of those celebrity scandals?? -id love to know more about noelle's scar.... thank you so much for everything!!!! although, im not sure if josh's eyes are blue or green??

Posted by shelby on July 18, 2009 at 09:17 PM EDT #

i hope janine gets the part she looks alot like kiran to me than the other girls

Posted by reedluver101 on July 19, 2009 at 12:49 PM EDT #

Janine is the best. The others look too old.

Posted by Bianca on July 19, 2009 at 01:30 PM EDT #

A little upset about who they have chosen for Noelle...not at all how she was portrayed in the book, Taylor as either. I have nothing against the actresses they have chosen but the depiction in the book is a far cry from who they have selected. Kate created these characters and gave them a life of their own; it is hard to imagine that these web- episodes could be half as good as the books.

Posted by tj on July 19, 2009 at 01:51 PM EDT #

I think the actresses playing Noelle and Taylor should swap roles. Taylor's supposed to have curly blonde hair, and Noelle is supposed to have dark hair and eyes....

Posted by Delia D. on July 19, 2009 at 02:01 PM EDT #

I'm so stoked guys! I'm curious to see how Noelle and Taylor turn out... Not how I imagined in the book, but we'll see! Oh I'm so excited! -- Alaina

Posted by Alaina on July 19, 2009 at 02:03 PM EDT #

i think tht nicole shuld be kiran cuz she looks more like a kiran than the other girls. and i think tht taylor doesnt look anything of wat i expected nd tht she looks more like a sabine nd tht janine shuld play taylor instead.:)

Posted by M <3 on July 19, 2009 at 07:51 PM EDT #

The cast to me is all messed up. the only people who i could see as their characters is Reed and Arianna. Taylor should look like the girl playing Noelle. Noelle is supposed to be tall, dark haired and tan skin. Don't get me wrong Samantha Cope is goregous but she's not a "Noelle". and the girl who is playing Taylor should be Tiffany. They just changed everything, and nothing needed to be changed. Private characters were perfect the way they were.

Posted by Landon on July 19, 2009 at 11:44 PM EDT #

Oh My God!! WOW!! I love the books from the Private series I have read so far!! is there like going to be a series of the private books? Oh and by the way I think that Nicole is very pretty! x

2MARO IS THE DAY! GO NICOLE SANNA! JANINE!!!!!

Posted by Tyra Ann on July 20, 2009 at 01:05 PM EDT #

The Taylor that i pictured looks NOTHING like that. The Taylor that was chosen is what I pictured Sabine to look like almost exactly. They did good on Reed and I think Nicole shoul get Kiran. However, Noelle isnt horrible ut not exactly what i pictured.

Posted by Sasha Tehann on July 20, 2009 at 02:14 PM EDT #

Go Nicole! But Janie would also be cool since she has acting experience.So far I love all the cast members,like OMG Reed is awesome...something about her reminds me of Megan Fox.

DEFINITELY Nicole or Janine. I don't think Sanna fits Kiran... Heheh... Nicole is totally Kiran-like. Exactly how i imagined her!!

Posted by anonymous? on July 21, 2009 at 09:55 AM EDT #

If your going to post, Why don't you all go watch the entry videos. Don't base your ideas on the pictures! Nicole may have the best picture, but in my opinion Sanna had the best video.

Posted by Allison on July 21, 2009 at 02:45 PM EDT #

I think Sanna fits what I thought Kiran would look like. Dark hair and angular features. Personally, I think she's the prettiest. The other girls are gorgeous of course but she has that intimidating "Victoria's Secret" (as the first book described her) look.

Posted by Rachel on July 21, 2009 at 02:58 PM EDT #

At first Sanna doesnt look good at all but thats just the picture, if she had different make-up I think shed make the perfect Kiran. Nicoles also good but Jannie looks way to innocent in the video, but shed be really good at acting. Sanna acted the best as Kiran in my opinion.

Posted by ava on July 21, 2009 at 11:45 PM EDT #

I think Nicole or Janine for sure! =D Although, maybe a better picture of Sanna would be good too... you can't see her face as much.. ;)

Posted by May on July 22, 2009 at 01:16 AM EDT #

duuuude, i dont think any of them look like her, or seem like they can act like her. new casting please ? but if i had to pick one it'd be sunna or what whateverr. definately NOT joanaa. does anyone know who plays noelle ???

Posted by vannah. on July 24, 2009 at 02:18 AM EDT #

sanna

Posted by des on July 25, 2009 at 12:25 AM EDT #

SANNA plays noelle??? she's so not noelle!! noelle is supposed to be blonde, that is so not how i pictuered her!

Posted by KK on July 31, 2009 at 08:49 PM EDT #

KK: Sanna is not playing Noelle, someone else is. Sanna is competing for the role of Kiran Hayes in Private. And Noelle is supposed to have dark long hair, not blonde hair. It should say Noelle has dark hair in at least every book! Just clearing things up for you! :)

Posted by Krissy on August 01, 2009 at 01:18 PM EDT #

nicole def!!!!!!

Posted by corey on August 01, 2009 at 07:57 PM EDT #

Can't watch the vids since I don't live in the states! Isn't there any other way of watching them? Will the web series be in this format too? :O

Posted by Annie on August 11, 2009 at 09:56 AM EDT #

why can't they make this available outside the US. i love on guam and that is a US territory, i should be able to watch too. i bought the books like everyone else. pls pls pls let anyone watch it!
