My Hills Issues

by Rachelle Thomas

the-hills.thumbnail.jpgYou know how people say “It’s so bad it’s good�, that is how I feel about The Hills. Each week I religiously tune in to see what is happening with Lauren & Co, but I have to admit I am having some issues with this current season. Now let me start by saying I accept The Hills for what it is a “reality� show or as I call it the unscripted, yet scripted drama posing as a reality show, and I love it. After watching last weeks episode I have to express a few gripes with the show.

    First – what is the purpose of Lo? Personally I am not happy with Lo purposely coming between pals Lauren and Audrina, both of whom I think are awesome. Now I did not watch Season 1 of Laguran Beach so I know nothing about Lo, but I have to say I’m not a fan of hers at all. Can someone please tell me what Lo does besides mooch off her BF Lauren? Whitney, Audrina, Lauren, and even Heidi appear to have “real jobs,� does Lo?

    Speaking of Heidi and her “real� job, how is it possible that a fashion/college student dropout moved her way up the Bolthouse corporate ladder so quickly? Anyone want to take a guess as to whether or not MTV has had anything to do with her quick success. I say yes, but hey I could be wrong maybe she really paid her dues and worked her way up from peon to very important project manager in what 2 years. Yeah that happens all the time, especially at entertainment companies.

    And my last issue, for now at least, why is half the show made up of scene shots of LA. I counted and on last Mondays episode there was anywhere from 3 to 6 LA scenes shots between two scenes with actual people in them. Are the producers so desperate to fill time that they have to use filler scenes? I find that hard to believe. Hills producers please stop with the scene shots, I tune into see the drama not LA scenery.

    All my gripes aside I do love The Hills, and I can’t wait for the season finale. Will Audrina move out? Will Spencer ruin Heidi’s career with his surprise Vegas visit? Guess we’ll find on tonight at 10PM EST on MTV.

    I heard Lo on a radio show previously and I think she said that she is a student at UCLA, but I don’t know if she has a job too.

    I liked her more last season when she was just on every so often and would make fun of Justin Bobby.
