The Hills

I've been seeing this show for the last couple of weeks and just hoping for it to get exciting or scandalous but eh this one has to be the no. 1 contender for MTV's worst show. It basically has no storyline except may be a couple of girls blabbering something about fashion, partying and of course dating. And yes it seems very very scripted... Unless you're some rich pretty blonde roaming around with cameras, its impossible to get a job that easily. The pace of the show is pretty slow and the only thing that wakes you up when you're watching this show is the music which is randomly put in between the scenes. To sum it up, I am a reality show junkie and I can tolerate almost any kind of crap thrown at me but this show is just too freakin boring. Unless you're 11 yrs old or have the maturity of a 11 yr old, you're gonna get tired of this show.

OK to begin it is not real; everyone in this is an actor or actress who does not do a very good job of it. Most of the acting is just deprived because of the script. It seems that just before they film a scene or a part of an episode they will just tell the actors what to say and do because all the actions and speech is delayed or somewhat paused. There is no way in REALITY that people in L.A. or anywhere in the world would talk like this. (If you have ever seen Bryans girlfriend from family guy then she is a classic example of how all the girls act on the show.) I have never actually watched an episode from start to finish but I figured out that a fight in this REALITY is two girls chatting then one walking out the room, walking back in, then they both discuss how they feel about each other and bitch over who said what in the first place. Also a typical day is waking up, having your photographs taken for a magazine, staring in an advert or beauty show, Resting on a beach, meeting with friends, falling out over nothing anyone would in REALITY, saying sorry and making it up by having a party with no alcohol or drugs-like real teenagers in western culture.

Being English I wouldn't use the term deuce bags to describe the guys, i would call them wa****s. Again, in REALITY people don't, especially when its friend to friend don't keep using the words "Well I feel that" or "I think that she feels" it is just bulls**t and a typical example of escapism T.V. where girls with low self-esteem watch and dream of living in the hills. But as someone has also commented, these rich brats only have what they have thanks to their parents and to be fair the cast holds an average I.Q of 40 between them all.

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.

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.

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...
