The Hills

I watched a couple episodes of this last night, because my friends girlfriend was watching it. It was painful! This is the lamest show ever made! The guys are douche bags and the girls are dramatic little whiners.

This is the kind of crap that 9-13 year old girls should watch. My friends girl was trying to tell me that it's all real and non scripted. THAT'S BULL! There is no way that this show is real. The acting is extremely poor. IF this is real, then these people need to be put to sleep. I would never want to live a life like that.

BASIC RUNDOWN OF THE HILLS: Material Girls who are rich because of "Mommy and Daddy", have douche bag boyfriends who are rich because of "Mommy and Daddy". Some of the girls like each other, some don't. The odd fight here and there. Constant lame drama, which in the end everything goes back to normal. The girls are naive as hell.

Anyone who watches this show is a sheep. 0/10 COMPLETE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

This show embodies the summum of materialism, the very worst in mankind. How can one be so completely preoccupied with the exterior, and not care about (or not see) what that makes them into? The Hills' cast consist of models. People who are seemingly so drawn into life's popularity contest that anything else ceases to be important to them. The entire globe could be in the middle of some horrible disaster, while these shallow fashion whores' only worry would be finding a pair of shoes that goes with their Prada purse. For some reason, watching this show reminds me of the infamous statement made by beauty pageant contestant Lauren Upton (the URL below). I wonder if this show's cast could find the USA on a world map...

While trying to watch an episode of the hills, i kept finding myself getting distracted by my cat chasing his tail. After all, watching my cat chase his tail was much more entertaining.

This show is so obviously scripted it's not even funny to call this a reality show. Why doesn't MTV just give it up and tell the truth. I guess that would actually mean admitting that these people's lives aren't that interesting unless a little bit of lines are thrown in there because let's be honest- how much fun could it be to actually watch people from their day to day lives? I really am waiting and hoping for mtv to shut down because they keep coming up with one lame thing after another and it has nothing to do with music like it had originally intended.

Watching the people communicate on this show is like experiencing the shadow world that lies between sleep and wakefulness. Shallow words are spoken, followed by long pregnant pauses, meaningful looks and toothy smiles. There is waiting and then more waiting for something. It would be even more freakish than it is, if not for the fact that the women have such model-perfect looks and are a pleasure to look at. However, this would be intolerable and even hellish if regular-looking people pulled this. Conversation has been edited down to very feather-light fluff. Ambiance is always as tasteful as a romantically-lit, high-tone restaurant or a smart little clothing boutique. It's one long perfume commercial.

Well, I tuned in, then tuned out again.

If this is real in any way, it is clearly not reality as it happens. It is fairly obvious that most of the scenes have been planned. The tracking shot as Lauren drives to Los Angeles, the "Vogue want me there in 20 minutes" scene and the scene where she goes to register at fashion school... actually, the last one was quite nicely shot (the camera crew might have a better future ahead). However, it lacked the verisimilitude of (say) an episode of The Osbournes or even The Simple Life. In fact, it lacked the believability of The OC or One Tree Hill!

It does come across as a cheap (bad) soap, but with acting appropriate to a porn movie.

And no-one watches a porn movie for the acting.
