MTV - The Hills. Are we Sick of Reality Shows?

thehills.jpg Recently reality shows seem to be popping up everywhere, what with Big Brother, Various celebrity chef programs and even spin off shows from popular series such as The OC (Laguna Beach) you would think that I would be sick of them by now, but no... still I keep watching. Recently my beady little eyes have become firmly fixed on the Laguna Beach spin off show ‘The Hills' which follows Lauren (LC) as she takes on LA and starts work at Teen Vogue, she gains a whole bunch of new friends and a few enemies along the way and it makes for addictive yet mind numbing viewing!

I never really watched Laguna Beach, but I saw it enough times to know that LC was being built up as the obvious ‘Star' and I must confess, I actually really liked her. So when the new series started up and Lauren was given her own show I decided to watch it and see what it was like. BIG mistake, as since then I have wasted hours of my precious time on this show and I can't help but keep coming back to it to find out what happens next. I think that I'm right up to date with the latest episodes now as I have been watching them on the MTV website and the drama of it all is SO funny. Recently there has been the whole issue of "Is ‘The Hills' Fake" well, my views? Yeah it's a ‘Reality' show but in order for them to shoot it, and make the show possible to film and air in time of course they have to set some of the ‘scenes' up.

There was also the infamous nail polish scandal that blew up a few weeks ago wasn't there? Where on supposedly the same night Lauren was ‘caught out' wearing two different colours of nail polish, prompting viewers to question just how accurate a portrayal we are getting of Lauren's actual life. *Shock Horror* could this mean that ‘The Hills' are ... EDITED?! Well of course they are! The producers obviously want to cut out the boring bits or things that aren't crucial to what the viewers are currently talking about and roll with the more pressing issues such as the Brody and Lauren on off love fest and Spencer and Heidi's freakishly insane relationship.

As you can tell, I'm most definitely NOT a fan of Spencer. Heidi, I like, I think she's great and when she left the New Years Eve party with Lauren that night it just proved how much she loved her friend. Sadly Heidi seems to have been completely brainwashed by Scary Spencer... Is it just me or is this guy a complete and utter control freak? He tries to stop Heidi from doing her job, he has this weird persona that he slips into a lot where he tries to be sarcastic and give a witty reply but he just comes off looking and sounding genuinely demented LOL. Maybe I'm being way too harsh, but the guy just seems like such a creep! The scene where Heidi re painted the walls was brilliant though wasn't it? The look on Spencer's face, he didn't know whether to blow up and be angry, try his usual sarcasm or just sit there and cry!

That's the Heidi we need to see more of, the strong willed girl who isn't going to be manipulated by a guy with a huge chip on his shoulder. I like Brody, and I'm rooting for him and LC getting together properly by the end of the series. I'm curious to hear what everyone else thinks about the budding romance though, are they really a match made in heaven or are we just the victims of some very clever editing? Whitney, Lauren's work college at Teen Vogue is so sweet; I literally held my breath for her when she slipped in the recent TV appearance, thank goodness she managed to regain her composure, she was also the victim of yet more embarrassment this week when she was told that her outfit for the New York trip had been ‘Too Dressy' what do you guys think about that?

Personally, yeah I thought it was a little bit too much for the day but certainly not something that needed to be mentioned at the dinner table and laughed at, that's the fashion industry for you though I guess! I'm sure she's over it by now, she seems very laid back. So, reality shows, are they all trash nowadays or like myself do you find yourself unable to resist watching a select few? For those who are interested in watching The Hills and have missed several episodes then head on over to the following link and you can watch them for yourself from the very beginning!
