‘The Hills’: Heidi Finally Sees The Light?
Last night’s ep of The Hills really tried to make Audrina Patridge’s storyline the central plot but, sorry to say, her life isn’t nearly interesting enough to anchor a single episode (let alone an entire TV series, which is why Whitney Port will be starring in The City and Audrina is thanking her lucky stars for another season of The Hills) for me. The drama surrounding Lauren LC Conrad allowing the “homeless” Holly Montag to move in with her was far more interesting, IMHO:
But, you can’t blame Audrina for trying to play a more central role on the show … time is running out for the reign of The Hills and she is desperately trying to turn her Hills stint into something larger. Yeah, good luck with that. In any event, there was palatable drama to enjoy in last night’s ep. After the jump, find out what fallout came from LC’s new houseguest on the ep titled One Last Chance …
Let’s get the Audrina stuff out of the way first … she continued to settle into her new place, still plotted to get Justin Bobby to move in with her and he still kept her at arms’ length — and bought her a tight white t-shirt that she is supposed to wear braless. They bore me. The end. The real drama came from Holly moving in with LC and Lauren Lo Bosworth. As soon as LC broke the news to Stephanie Pratt, she was at Speidi’s apartment 7.5 secs later and was spilling the news to the gruesome twosome themselves. Heidi Montag looked shocked, Spencer Pratt looked livid and Stephanie looked pleased with herself that she has a reason to exist on this show. Earlier in the ep, Heidi went crawling back to SBE to get her job back and was hired back on a conditional basis. Sam, the big boss man, banned Spencer from his sight and Heidi seemed OK with that condition. Once Spencer started bagging on Heidi’s mom (calling her “stalker mom” again) it looked like Heidi had had enough … tho, it’s hard to tell cuz she tends to offer that head tilt, annoyed look all the time and it’s difficult to ascertain if she really means biz this time. While I think a storyline where Heidi finally throws Spencer out of her life would make the fans really happy … it will never happen. Never. Spencer just seems to get more and more douchey with each passing ep. It’s not even fun to hate him on the show anymore. I gotta say, it’s getting less and less fun to watch this show because the believability has gone right out the window. Next week’s ep will deal with the rumor that LC hooked up with Justin Bobby behind Audrina’s back. I can’t get over how that rumor just feels so contrived, so out of whack with reality that I didn’t even give it a second thought when it came out … and here we are, weeks later, about to watch it acted out on TV. The show was so much better when it wasn’t so obviously being based on fake drama (I mean, more obvs fake drama than the usual fake drama we’re used to). I fear I’m losing my intense interest in this show … and I don’t know what would rejuvenate me at this point. We’ll have to see how the rest of the season goes but … it occurred to me last night that this might be the last season for me. Did y’all like last night’s ep? Are you interested in seeing another season of this stuff?

I stopped watching at the beginning of the season. I can’t stand Spencer long enough to sit through an episode.The only way I could even watch another episode of this show is if it only involved Lo, LC, and Whitney.
November 18th, 2008 at 10:51 am
um, NO
November 18th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Spencer is using my code name and I don’t like it! I did have a little giggle when he said that last night!
November 18th, 2008 at 10:58 am
Speidi annoy me to no end. Heidi is an idiot and deserves to be with someone like Spencer if she continues to tolerate his behavior. It’s pathetic. The end.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:11 am
I keep wathing, thinking that maybe they will get smart and actually make the show about Lauren again. If Audrina keeps being the central focus, I will have reason to watch, because her life and fake drama bore me to tears.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:12 am
….by reason, I meant NO reason to watch….
November 18th, 2008 at 11:14 am
i think spencer sucks and heidi is stupid for being with him. i agree, the show would be easier to watch without them. but with or without speidi, im hooked on the hills…atleast until i catch next weeks episode :)
November 18th, 2008 at 11:16 am
Yeah, not so much. I used to really enjoy this show as a guilty pleasure, but it’s gotten so retarded I barely care. I read your recaps if it sounds like there’s some good drama and that’s about it.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:27 am
I’ve lost that lovin feelin…now it’s gone
November 18th, 2008 at 11:29 am
It’s just stupid senseless entertainment. I can only have room for one of these shows, so until something more fake and contrived comes out I will continue to watch the hills like so many other little minions.
I think the best episiode will be when Heidi finally kicks Spencer to the curb. Last night was a tease. Spencer an ass and the problem? Is Heidi getting smarter?
November 18th, 2008 at 11:30 am
I just watch the show out of habit now but it holds no interest to me anymore. Every single scene you can tell its so fake. It getting to the point where I stand cant even watch it. Its so bad now its like they’re not even trying to making it seem “real”. So I decided im not going to tune in next monday. Gossip Girl is my fix for Monday nights now.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:35 am
i thought last night’s episode was alright. i thought it was great to hear audrina’s sister telling audrina her honest opinion with the whole JB situation. but as she is telling her this audrina just stares at her like she has no clue what she is talking about. GIRL, WAKE UP!!!
and p.s. when she-pratt was telling heidi that holly moved in with LC and Lo didnt it look like heidi’s makeup around her nose/upper lip looked really off. it was soooooooooooo distracting to me!
next week will be good. i cant even believe that audrina would think that lauren would hook up with jb…ewwww. god he is so dirty and gross. audrina could do so much better. so sad to see girls that like guys that treat them like scum.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:36 am
heidi and spencer drive me crazy. though i don’t get why heidi would put up with spencer- even if it is fake. if it is fake- why would she want to look like a moron for staying with him? she just looks pathetic. i just don’t get it. but it is a guilty pleasure still. i’m going to try and not get into next season………
November 18th, 2008 at 11:46 am
I agree, Trent, everything is just so OBVS contrived, it takes any joy out of it whatsoever. Audrina and Justin Bobby are SO BORING and all the Heidi stuff is just too fake. I think this season should be the last.
November 18th, 2008 at 11:46 am
i gotta say, i know the show is fake and getting faker, but i take it as a soap and not a reality show anymore and i’m still addicted i admit happily. More excited for The City at this point and a show free of Spencer. He makes me phsyically ill just like when i see Bush on tv.
November 18th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I love Spencer, he is so douchey, but he is so funny! He is the only one that makes me laugh. Everyone else was really boring, and next weeks episode looks so cheesy and forced. But I will still watch it :D
November 18th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Wow LC really looks like the 3rd olsen twin!!!
November 18th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I have to agree, the show has lost something. I don’t look forward to it as much as I used to.
November 18th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Audrina bores me to tears. Wake up and realize that JB is the biggest douche alive. I couldn’t stand how when she and LC were at the bar together and LC told her that JB would always be her #1, Audrina squeals “I know right. I totally told him that”. Good job air-head. I cannot watch anymore.

I do still like the show, but I cannot stand Audrina and it’s really annoying how they keep trying to make her a more central character – she is easily the least interesting person on the show, including Stephanie Pratt. Audrina is just Heidi with dark hair in my opinion – selfish and willing to do just about anything to be famous. Heidi tolerates the way Spencer talked about her friends and the way he talks about his family and hers, and Audrina has tolerated Justin’s poor treatment of her for a long time and done virtually nothing about it, except halfheartedly complain and then cave a minute later.
With regards to the alleged Lauren/Justin hookup, I laughed when I heard that a few months ago, because it’s so utterly absurd. Lauren has disliked Justin from the first day she met him and has always been there for Audrina, and Justin has treated Audrina poorly time and time again, and yet Audrina felt she should go on Ellen DeGeneres’s show and discuss it, basically calling Lauren a lying tramp and a bad friend. I have absolutely no idea why she thought anyone would believe that Lauren would ever betray her like that, but I suppose since she’s so pathetic and desperate to make herself interesting, she had to do something. It is truly sad the lengths some people will go to in order to garner attention. I’m looking so forward to Lauren telling her off…
November 18th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Spencer is a DICK WITH EARS Y’ALL. I said it before I’ll say it again. Heidi won’t learn till he’s bangin’ some porn-reject and she is at home with the kids wondering if he’ll come tonight. Sad, but it’s gonna happen….you wait and see. I think I would like her more if she wasn’t with him.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
I’m so over it all… its just become so fake. I quit watching a while ago, but for whatever reason watched last night. The only thing that would keep me hooked would be if Heidi would ditch Spencer for good and if LC and JB did not hook up.
November 18th, 2008 at 2:04 pm
p.s. when is someone going to tell Heidi she’s a terrible actress?
November 18th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
NEXT TIME ON THE HILLS….
Lauren: “YOUR JUST LIKE HEIDI!”
Audrina: “NO I’M FUCKING NOT!”
laugheeedddddd my ass off… something on the Hills finally seemed real haha
November 18th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Total snooze…I fell asleep 10 minutes into the ep. We need better/real drama. Heidi if you are reading…why all the makeup? Looks like too much on TV, I can’t imagine in person…
November 18th, 2008 at 2:29 pm

You know I just think that Spedi needs to end and I dont know if I believe their relationship, I mean all their photo ops seems like its more for the show or just trying to hard to prove to the public that they are a couple, perhaps maybe they are better off without each other.
What about what I saw somewhere prolly people magazine about how Heidi and LC are friends again, I dont know this show is just sooo messed up but soo addicting!!
November 18th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
“The Hills” is a pop culure stable. As long as there’s shows like “Real Chance at Love” or that show searching for the best makeup artist, then “The Hills”, will be around because it came out before alot of reality show garbage we get now. By the way “The Hills” is named after places in LA, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, etc. That came from Audrina’s lips. Oh and Justin Bobby is not a loser, remember Lo gave him that name. Justin is a former pro surfer, plays guitar, tennis, drums, has a band The Ed Stanley Band, and is a hairdreser for Maroon 5.
November 18th, 2008 at 5:13 pm
i totally agree with you. can it please be more real?? let’s bring laguna beach stars back :)
November 18th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
uhhh you always go for the girls that are lame….. audrina is awesome and is by far the most goodlooking girl on the show….
November 18th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
As much as i dont like spencer i think he is too funny when he was talking about holly and said ” shes even worse than stephanie” and stephanie was sitting right there i couldn’t stop laughing
November 18th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
I’m ready for this show to be over. I used to tune in every Monday but that turned into watching the 80,000 repeats that play on MTV instead of actual music videos. Then I resigned myself to reading about it on Pink. It just got waay too fake for me. It would help if we stopped seeing these people in magazines out and about when the cameras aren’t rolling. Seeing Spiedi fighting and then seeing pics of them happy as can be hours later just doesn’t do it for me anymore… and Justin Bobby? Really? Because she can’t find ANYONE better than that?!
November 18th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
can’t wait for the City and a show without Spencer. He irritates me to no end… I’m so sick of his douche-bag ways….and I don’t feel sorry for Hiedi. She puts up with it for fame it seems…
November 18th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
if it were any longer than a half-hour show (and it’s barely 20 minutes without commercials – gotta love tivo) i would not watch it
November 18th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
it’s becoming a weekly chore to watch the hills… though, with that being said, i REALLY want freakin spencer to find his ass homeless on the street. that episode i would be happy to watch!!
November 18th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
Sadly, i am so sucked into this show and my hubby gets mad if I delete it off TiVo before he sees it. I am not looking forward to The City, but I am sure we will watch it.
November 19th, 2008 at 12:35 am
TRUEEEE THAT (to everything said above). Really, I’m just sick of seeing weak women submit to douchey guys! Fortunately, I have an idea of what a *real* man has to offer. Where the hell are the nice guys?? Just when I thought Whitney was going to get involved with some sweet model (sounds like an oxymoron, I know) she runs off with some sleezy–but hot– musician and leaves good ol’ whats-his-face in the dust! Anyhoo, I still watch. Mainly to make myself feel awesome about my relationship decision.
November 19th, 2008 at 2:26 am
i’m so over Heidi .. where’s Audrina?? she’s really the only 1 i give 2 bits about. last i heard she was working with stylist chick Kira Plastinina … anyone know anything about that?
November 19th, 2008 at 8:02 am
Did anyone notice the voice overs in this episode? When LC and Audrina are at the bar, you will notice that the camera only shows the side of Audrina’s face, but you can still see her lips. They are very obviously saying something different than what the subtitle says she is saying. ALSO in the scene with Heidi and Spencer, they aren’t showing Heidi saying this, but if you just listen to the audio the sound and volume of her voice changes when she says something along the lines of her job not being the only thing that Spencer has lost for her…PLUS he didn’t even respond to that, which was A HUGE insult. Not real, boring, Zzzzzzz. Every week I say, ” Why am I watching this?” Plus they spill all the beans of what could be interesting in the previews.

November 19th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
