It's the Unreal Thing, 28 December 2010
Author: ttapola from Finland

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

After 11 episodes, it's pretty safe to say that The City is no improvement over The Hills. So, instead of stating what's wrong (it's so obvious), I found something in this episode that actually provokes thought.

The City is supposed to be a reality show, documentary style, where the film crew only observes, not influences events. But, as The Hills already before proved, say, for example, when Spencer beat up that one guy in a bar, and any consequences were completely ignored in following episodes, the demands that the Show Must Go On *do* affect the events. But this episode raises a new question: What have the people learned from the Mental Spencer incident?

The person of interest is Olivia. First, the film crew records *evidence* that Whitney chose Jessica Alba's outfit and Olivia was actually against it, yet when it got chosen for the cover, Olivia snapped the credit for herself. Is she stupid? Or are the show-runners demanding that *everyone* pretend the film crew and the TV show do not exist? Because those people from whom Olivia accepted the accolades surely later heard or possibly even saw what really happened. Are the effects of that information on the people above Olivia in the hierarchy going to make them see her as the hypocrite backstabber she really is? Will they start to treat her accordingly?

It is baffling when the events behind what we are shown become more intriguing than the actual show. I do *not* wait with baited breath. If The Hills was any indicator, Olivia's stunt is going to be "erased" from existence, which, in turn makes The City as unreality TV as The Hills was.
