The Hills has ended....what are your thoughts?

Richard Dower

Season 6 finale Tuesday night, tis all at an end (until MTV come up with more "spinoffs"), so overall how do you feel about the show as a whole?

Utter crap?, self promotion?, any positive comments?.....i can't have all been bad!

I'll give you an example, scene with LC in Vegas with the girls and Brody and his friend were banged up in jail for the night, they stroll into the bedroom and act like two knuckleheads, Lauren says "idiots"....that scene made me laugh, the way she said it was just bang on, say what you want about gutter trash tv, and The Hills is a fine example, you you have to admit the show did have some funny moments.

Spencer pretty much made the show, it's all fake...we know this, but it did have some entertaining moments, and i personally enjoyed the catfights

RIP Lauren and friends, may your spinoff shows bring you more ways to embarrase yourselves......

Thank fu*k!

People who watch The Hills don't have thoughts... Silly Richard :P

My thoughts are.. which ungodly sh*ite is Richard Dower going to pollute this forum with next now that's over!

petes

Biggest pile of crap I've ever seen. Pure drivel.

Lando Griffin

A mountain of s**te.

Six seasons? SIX SEASONS? What the hell man? I'm so glad I don't have MTV, but a little sad that I caught 2 minutes of this drivel one time on TV3 or some other channel.

My thoughts are that people who watched The Hills, are probably exactly like the people on The Hills.

No doubt some more of them will get their own spin off shows :rolleyes:

Richard Dower

^ Audrina has one lined up already, i'm sure Speidi will have something in the works.

No matter how many great shows you post about every time myself and others see your name, shows featuring pretty but vacant teenage girls struggling with the hardships of spending daddy's money come to mind.

and for those who don't, no need to reply :pac:

Personally, I think it was very clever and very un-cheesy-American of them to end it this way. Didn't expect them to do it like this.

Richard Dower

^ jesus!..i was NOT expecting that, that was ballsy of them i have to say, basically it's a F.U. - it's all fake and scripted from start to finish, real kick in the teeth to the fans though.

FreudianSlippers

Do I hear someone crying? lol

Richard Dower

^ nah, i mean anyone with a braincell would know every scene was scripted, but to throw it in peoples faces like that....some nerve!

lol no I mean the person who recorded the video... I hear a lot of sniffles

Of course it was scripted... I totally agree with you - almost badass of them to give that FU to their fans.

Richard Dower

^ it's not bad ass, just arrogance and them basically laughing in the fans of fans, i'm getting kinda angry, not because it's fake but because they just stuck two fingers up at the fans.

I used the audio from another copy of the video (which was someone recording it from a camera) and i put the hd video to it separately....but yes I cried.

As for the 2 fingers to the fans. The show was genuinely real up to about the 3rd season and then to save on time and money it just got faker and faker. Its easier to tell people what to do and it shoot it in 3 months, than follow people for a year (like Laguna Beach) and hope to get some footage out of it.

Anyway, as I fan, I still loved the ending because there is no one on the planet that didn't think this thing was real anymore.

Richard Dower

^ well hopefully the cast will finally come out and admit it was a fake from start to finish, i don't agree it was "real" upto series 3, both Heidi and Lauren have admitted that they were fed lines, "promoted" and basically the times and locations for scenes were all setup.

And again, we all knew it was fake...but the arrogance of the producers is sickening.

I still have a smile on my face about the way they did the finale.

Minstrel27

Anyone that believed that show was real deserves to be slapped.

Richard Dower

Jesus...they filmed several alternate endings....how fake can you get!

OP I actually watched and enjoyed the Hills.
And I dont consider myself unintelligent
Yes it was drivel and pure crap but i watched it anyway.
It was a bit of escapism for god sake. (er like most TV shows?!)

Anyway... I couldnt believe the ending, I dont see why they decided to wrap up that way?

Ill miss it, but yeah they will all totally have spin offs. Heidi has signed up to one since her "separation" from Spencer.

I do think it should hae ended when Lauren went. The last two series werent the same imo.

I know. It's crazy that shows like this can go on that long when really good, quality shows (Arrested Development for example) get cancelled way too early

Thats because the tv watching public are by and large, morons.

Its why shows like The Wire, while universally acclaimed didnt do very well on its initial tv run, why most people look at you with a vacant stare when you say you love stuff like Arrested Development, and why instead of watching shows that challenge you mentally, Joe Public would rather watch z-list celebrities eat bugs for money.

I don't think that's the case to be honest, no matter how you try to define it the Hills is nothing but lowest common denominator car crash television with absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Minstrel27

I never watched it but I have heard the women folk at work going on about it. Thank fúck it is over.

Brilliant ending.

Long live Justin Bobby.

Final scene, epic. http://www.twitvid.com/I0VPH

Well MTV own them, and decided to recycle them as fertiliser. Its the kindest thing really.

about time it ended it was crap

Diabhal Beag

The Hills was great fap material. It does have it's good parts.

astrofool

I'm presuming, that as this is a reality show, the only way they could have finished it, was if they all died.

If so, yipee.

About time.

Can anybody tell me why all these The Hills threads weren't in the toxic "Reality TV" section? That way we can safely browse the TV forum without inane "Who'se the hottest" or "Who should be going out with who" drivel?
