The Hills

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!

There's not much to expect out of a MTV show, especially when most of their programs targets tween to early 20's audiences.

Of course, for its purely entertainment value, you SHOULDN'T have to think too much of the program - just sit back and relax...right? But "The Hills" is unbearable. Period.

I decided to give it a try and watch one episode since my girlfriend has been begging me to watch it. At first, you kind of admire Lauren's maturity of wanting to go to school and create a future for herself. Then you realize that of course she would get ushered into a reputable school, get hired for a job that most girls dream and die for. It's a goddamn TV show that sets up everything to make life seem easy! And why wouldn't it? The main characters are inherently wealthy, good-looking fashionable girls with material goods 3/4's of Americans can't afford.

There's no way in hell that Heidi could've gotten hired for that job that she had - (something about being a professional events organizer?!?) without any references, or even a flippn' resume. She basically said in the interview that she has drive, is motivated to work?! What's sad is that this creates an unrealistic dream for teens.

I think I watched about 15 minutes of it, and turned it off.

I'll say this though, MTV can really market their products, and they are definitely experts at making crap look like it's worth watching...even when it isn't.

I discovered this by chance and to be honest the only reason I watched was to see what was the start of the ultra annoying reality stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi . Whom I first witnessed on the UK big brother show and had never heard of them

Super short episodes of 15 mins of same thing over and over again have no idea where Spencer makes money as have never seen him work so reality must pay big money!

Like most reality it is beyond superficial badly acted ( reality is a myth we all know this crap 💩 is scripted to within an inch of its life)

I guess if your desire in life is to be famous and rich then these shows are the ladder as they have been on every reality show they could find😂 A life fulfilled if that is their desire

This show has got to be the WORST by far on television. I would rather watch "all my children" or American idol reruns than this. Everyone knows this show isn't real, and even if it was, they live such boring lives why doesn't MTV do something useful? Like, oh, I don't know, play music? Hello! Music TV?!!?

Really I only saw about 10 minutes of it (because my friends told me I had to see it) and I swore it was the biggest load of crap. Survivor is more realistic than is!

Why are we watching shows about rich girls who have more than the need as it is while there are kids on the street in DC in NYC, there's even a genocide going on in Darfur and what are American Teens doing rather than figuring out what can be done to save the world we're living in? Watching a bunch of spoiled brats sit and eat salad and stare at each other. Seriously?

I have no understanding toward this show (or even the preceding show um Orange County?) If MTV just wants to wast money, please, buy us all a new house or something. Change someone's life for the better, don't give a TV show to a bunch of snotty brats who's biggest concern is who's dating who and why.

Waste of money, waste of brains, waste of TV.
