Season five of MTV's The Hills has officially arrived this year, says Lauren Conrad. Although it's ratings are drastically lower since LC was replaced with Kristin Cavallari, the show is still thriving off of scripted material and ritzy drama.
The show lost viewers because Lauren was always more of the girl-next-door and Kristin has already stolen her friends' men in just a few episodes. Although the show is entertaining, not much has changed since September. For a show that's not really reality television, you'd expect a little more from it. Kristin has gotten in an (almost) fight with Audrina over Justin Bobby, but Audrina's moved on now that Kristin is officially with Justin, since he doesn't want to grow up "a lonely, old man."
Speidi just bought a new house, and the couple's latest squabble is over whether to have a baby or not. Heidi's new BFF is the little boy next door, Enzo, who she plays Wii with and bakes cookies for. Although the pair is sneaky and seem to have grown up faster than the rest of the cast, it's a little endearing the way they're happily married.
Now that Kristin is the star of the show, it's a toss of the coin guessing how much viewers will continue to tune in. She's extremely hard to like and seems to only be on the show to promote her acting career. She even admitted in an interview with the Los Angeles Times that the show was scripted saying, "I pretty much do anything they have me do because I don’t care…I mean, we’re filming a TV show. Let’s make it interesting. Let’s have a good time with it."
Although it can get dirty and annoying watching snobby people steal each other’s boyfriends and drive away in their BMWs, it’s what we expect from Hollywood. I still find it a joke that MTV hosts a "Cast Confessions" episode where the cast "tells all," but I guess if we're all willing to play along that this is really reality television, then MTV will give us what we want.
