So many dilemmas facing the girls of The Hills this week. Was Heidi with child? Would Spencer advocate an abortion? And could Lauren resuscitate a magic candle? Yes, it’s all part of the coming-of-age experience that this show depicts so accurately. I for one can’t tell you how many flowers I had to sew onto umbrellas when I first moved to L.A.. A pure nightmare. Thank you, MTV, for finally portraying my struggle.Yes, there was plenty of silliness on this second, triumphant episode of the season. The fun started with Heidi, who we last saw holed up in the bathroom with her new friend, the CVS home pregnancy testing kit. As the show began, we eagerly awaited the results of her bathroom diagnosis, but alas, we weren’t given any info. Instead, Heidi walked solemnly out of the loo, eventually plopping down next to a perky Lauren who was doing her most favorite thing ever: sitting on a couch. Seriously, they should rename this show from The Hills to The Sofa.
Actually, Lauren was doing something productive: she was making a list for her birthday which was months and months away. Oh. Okay. I guess there weren’t any sudoku puzzles lying around. Anyway, LC asked Heidi why she had left work early, and she replied “I had a lot on my mind.” It’s true. She had just learned that there exists a whole set of numbers beyond 35.
Okay, okay. I kid. Of course what had been occupying Heidi’s thoughts was the possibility that she may be preggers, and when she told this to Lauren, well, let’s just say it didn’t take long for LC to bust out her famous Laser Eyes of Disapproval. Soon, Lauren realized she should probably be supportive rather than judgmental, and so she began guilting Heidi, asking her why the heck she hadn’t told her sooner. Heidi explained that she just didn’t want to talk to anyone about it and wasn’t sure if she should say anything to Spencer because then maybe he’d leave her yada yada yada. But Lauren refused to accept that answer. The way she saw it, Heidi could tell her anything. Lauren then made a little anti-Spencer zinger about not cheating, but all I could think about was whether or not Audrina was going to have a pregnancy scare now. She WOULD. Bitch.
After the opening credits, we then found ourselves at Bolthouse Productions where Heidi was taking a break from her busy job of sitting around. She called up Spencer, who answered his phone with unbridled levels of bullshit in his voice. “What a pleasant little surprise!” he gushed, clearly not realizing that the camera crew in his passenger seat probably should have tipped him off to this alleged “surprise.” Anyway, Heidi told him that they had to talk right away. “Meet me in the back alley,” she instructed as fears of some awful, Spencer-led abortion raced through my head. I could totally imagine it too. Spencer would totally get in there, smile widely, and announce, “I’m on your team, embryo! Have you been to Don Antonio’s?”
Meanwhile, over at Teen Vogue, we found Lisa Love on the phone stating “NO… NO, he’s not.” Oh damn! Someone just got Loved! Lauren and Whitney then entered the room, and Lisa informed them that they’d have to work at the Ashley Paige fashion show the next night. This was very important because Ashley was a friend of Amy Astley, and for those of you who don’t remember, Amy Astley is like the big deal head honcho at Teen Vogue. We know this because when Amy popped up last season, she sported a status-conscious Miranda Priestley hairstyle that just seemed to say, “Why is no one reeeadddy???”
Well, everything seemed great, but suddenly Whitney noted that she had school the next day. Oh Whitney. To paraphrase Ms. Love, you’ll always be known as the girl who didn’t go to the Ashley Paige fashion show. Surprisingly, Lisa was quite tolerant to this conflict, saying, “School is very important.” She then leveled a gaze at Lauren that seemed to say, “Yes, school is very important, UNLIKE COKE HEAD BOYFRIENDS WITH HOUSES IN MALIBU! YOU’LL ALWAYS BE THE GIRL WHO DIDN’T GO TO PARIS. ALWAYS!!!“
Instead, however, Lisa merely said, “Lauren, it means I’m gonna have to count on you. You think you can do this on your own?” Translation: are you going to be a massive disappointment to me again, much as you were several months ago when you turned down Paris for your vapid boyfriend???
Of course, Lauren said she would be up for the challenge, prompting Lisa to then remark, “I’m counting on you.” She then added, “I wish you were Whitney.”
Having firmly attached itself to her neck, the doily sucks the brains out of Whitney, turning her into yet another mindless doily zombie.
Meanwhile, over at the surprisingly clean back alley of Bolthouse Productions, Heidi’s abortion was about to begin. Okay, maybe it wasn’t an abortion, but whatever interaction she was going to have with Spencer was soon upon us as he pulled up in his slick BMW. “Well, hello dear!” he grandly stated as Heidi hopped in the car. It’s amazing how punchable he is, especially with that ever widening smile that makes his face look like a giant, helium balloon.
Anyway, Spence quickly detected that something was up (apparently the whole back alley mandate failed to raise any red flags). He asked, “What’s with the whole serious aura here?” Yeah, it was really intruding on his preferred “Goofy, idiotic, fame-hungry aura.” Well, Heidi revealed that she had been feeling sick and nauseous of late, and at a certain point, Spencer’s brain finally clicked into action (only allowed once a week) and he realized that his girl might be pregnant. He was totally flabbergasted, but he tried not to show it. Instead, he kept his goofy grin at full power and then awkwardly sipped from a water bottle as if to say, “Holy shit. If this bitch and her kid get their hands on my inheritance…” Of course, he didn’t say any of that. All he did manage to eek out was a dumbfounded “Well…”
“Pregnant? Um… Great!”
“HolyshitHolyshitHolyshitHolyshit…”
Heidi then expressed all her confusion, saying that she liked Spencer and she knew he liked her too — at which point, he interrupted and returned to his old phony, douchebag ways. “I more than like you, Heidi,” Spencer said repeatedly. Yes, that’s right. He more than likes you. He really likes you! If that’s not commitment, I don’t know what is.
Spencer then announced, “I’m on team Heidi.” Hmmm… if memory serves me correctly, he just to Audrina last week that he was on her team. Just goes to show: Spencer plays for both teams.
Well, all this was fun and everything, but Heidi had a confession. She had taken the pregnancy test and… she wasn’t pregnant. Yay! This of course begged the question: why did she drag him all the way down to the back alley to tell him she wasn’t pregnant? Surely the producers never would have insisted on such a stagey, illogical event! Understandably, Spencer was irritated at Heidi for scaring him so much. This was all a test, you see. Heidi just wanted to gauge his reaction and determine whether or not he was sincere about their relationship. Of course, she didn’t take into consideration the MTV cameras because quite honestly, you know that if they hadn’t been on national TV, Spencer would have been yelling, “ABORT! ABORT! ABORT!” like some computer mid-meltdown.
Ultimately, the conversation meandered onto Audrina as Spencer detected that Heidi was still unsure about his loyalties. “I never tried to hook up with Audrina!” he insisted, adding, “I just wanted to have lots and lots of sex with her.”
Okay, he didn’t say that, but we all know he was thinking it (let’s not forget his gentlemanly offer of a free massage for Audrina last week).
Anyway, after the break, we found LC and Heidi in their apartment kitchen. “Going to work?” Heidi asked.
“Mmmm hmmm,” Lauren replied, causing Heidi to then squeal, “Me too!” WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!! Two people in the same room going to work at the same time? Now I’ve heard it all!
Well, Heidi told Lauren all about Spencer’s reaction to the pregnancy, and after they were done discussing that, Heidi then announced, “I have a brilliant idea!” A first for everything! Anyway, Heidi then unveiled her brilliant idea:
“From now on, I’m gonna eat soup with a spoon instead of a fork. I bet it’ll work!”
Okay, that wasn’t the idea. Heidi’s wonder-plan was that she wanted LC to go on a date with Brody Jenner, son of Bruce Jenner and former boy-toy for Kristin Cavalleri and Nicole Richie. As you can imagine, Lauren was not thrilled with this idea. “HEIDI! He’s been touched by Kristin! He’s like tainted!” she balked, then adding, “Wait a second. He’s been touched by Kristin. My kind of man!”
Nevertheless, Lauren told Heidi that it would have to be a raincheck for Brody Jenner, but oops! Heidi had already given him Lauren’s number. If this were a sitcom (and I’m not totally convinced that it’s not), someone would then put their hands on their hips and say, “Heiiiii-di!”
Well, Lauren reprimanded her friend, ordering her to not give her number out to guys. “He’s not just a guy,” Heidi replied. “It’s Spencer’s best friend!” GREAT! And Spencer seems like such a great judge of character. Ultimately, Heidi was left with nothing else to do but to bask in her matchmaking prowess. “Such a good idea!” she glowed. Something tells me Lauren liked her friend more when she was preggers.
Lauren then went off to the chaotic Ashley Paige boutique, which was in a total frenzy with the runway show just a few hours away. It was sort of like how I imagined World War I to be if it were fought with a bunch of sassy gay men and patterned fabrics. Anyway, as soon as Lauren entered the place, Ashley ordered her to man the phones, demanding that she must answer by saying, “STUDIO!” This was reiterated many times by many different people to the point where I wanted to yell, “YES! WE GET IT! STUDIO!!!” Personally, I would have answered the phone with “WORST PLACE ON EARTH!” but I guess that would be unprofessional.
No sooner had Ashley assigned this task than she was already disparaging Lauren, saying, “Interns never know how to answer phones. It’s ridiculous.” Oh, how horrid it is when someone fails to announce “STUDIO!” over the phone! Of course, if there was anything worse than a telecommunications-challenged intern, it’s a magic candle on the verge of ruination! Yes, in a situation that cried “PURE CRISIS!!!”, Ashley’s “magic candle” had somehow entered a critical state as the once proud wick was now hidden amidst a sea of wax. HEAVENS NO!!! This apparently was a major problem for Ashley because she truly believed in the candle’s magic powers (it is a magic candle), and it just so happened to be that this magic candle was a money candle. If that wick was not returned to its former glory, her entire boutique might have to file for bankruptcy!
“Do you know how to dig out wax?” Ashley asked condescendingly, as if digging wax were just slightly less demanding than neuro-surgery. LC said she could do it, and as she began her odyssey of picking at nasty, green wax, Ashley suddenly bombarded her with a new question: “What time is it? You should be wearing a watch!” This comes from the woman who’s not wearing a watch.
Anyway, in a stunning turn of events, Lauren managed to rescue the wick, and as we had always hoped and dreamed, the magic candle burned anew! Hallelujah! This was such a momentous occasion that Ashley’s other intern had to call her over and point this out. Seriously, these people acted as if they’d been picking away at that candle for a good three months or so.
Triumph!
Showing that she was quite the prodigy when it came to candle surgery, LC then faced her next task: umbrella suture! Ashley handed her a dumb umbrella with tassels and flowers attached to it and then ordered LC to sew more flowers on. But wait! There was a catch! Ashley sternly warned, “Don’t make it look tacky.” Er. Tacky-er.
Suddenly, we heard the roar of angry music (or as angry as music on this show gets), and sure enough, we found Audrina at her apartment, surely plotting evil deeds against Heidi. Suddenly the phone rang, and guess who it was? Spencer!
“Well, look who it is! My favorite person in the world!” he said, the bullshit practically oozing out of my television speakers. Spencer asked Audrina if she wanted to go to dinner (DON ANTONIO’S????), but in a surprise move, she turned him down, saying that she didn’t want to exacerbate things between her and Heidi. Spencer tried to change her mind, but The Drina merely hung up, causing Spencer to mumble, “Aud just hangs up.” Thanks for the clarification! Feel free to narrate more completely obvious things.
We then cut to the big fashion show where Ashley’s assistant barked at Lauren to stop playing with her hair and to stand up straight and to save a pack of tragically neglected votive candles. Okay, maybe not that last thing. Anyway, Wh-Wh-Wh-Whitney finally showed up to help out (and no, she did not spend half the evening ogling at male models — there were none). Just as things were reaching a most frenetic level of chaos, LC’s phone rang, and guess who it was? BRODY JENNER. Worst timing ever! Thanks producers!
Lauren had to blow the Brodester off on account of the fashion show starting, and then we were treated to a quick montage of the models walking the runway, all to the tunes of the Pussycat Dolls, natch. I was really hoping we’d get an 8th and Ocean crossover, but the best we could do was a Top Model cameo by the increasingly ubiquitous Eva Pigford. I guess that’s good enough.
After the show, Ashley suddenly became über nice to Lauren, saying she wanted to steal her away from Lisa Love, but that’s probably because she most likely had a whole menorah that needed wick rejuvenation. LC then returned back to her apartment where Brody called yet again, and after some idle chit chat, the two agreed to go on a date the next night. This is the part of the sitcom where the live studio audience would go “Ooooooh!”
The next day, Lisa Love demanded a private audience with Lauren. I feared she might come baring some grim news regarding Ashley’s magic candle, but instead Lisa was full of cheer. She relayed how much Ashley loved her and then talked about how Lauren’s strength really seemed to be fashion show production. Glad that only took a year to figure out. Anyway, Lisa then dismissed Lauren with a rare, toothy grin, perhaps quietly thinking “I wonder if Lauren can do anything with my antique candelabra…”
We then found Lauren getting ready for her big date, and of course, an excited Heidi chirped away in her ear like a tiny dog about to receive a biscuit. Turns out this was going to be LC’s first date since the era of Jason, but she wasn’t going to get too caught up in it. In her mind, it was just going to be dinner — nothing too big. Of course, the last time anyone on The Hills just went to dinner, she wound up nearly pregnant and playing pranks on her boy in a back alley.
Anyway, Lauren and Brody went to dinner at Social, a trendy nightclub in Hollywood, and considering his previous girlfriends, I had to admit that Brody seemed considerably less douchebaggy than you’d think. However, it’s not hard to look like Prince Charming on a show that’s prominently featured J-Wahl, Spencer, Jordan, and Jordan’s dumb friend Brian.
“Did I mention my father came in third place on Skating with Celebrities?
The two made flirtatious banter about the way Lauren smiles, and as they talked, I couldn’t help thinking that Brody resembled an older, darker haired Cameron from season three of Laguna Beach. Anyway, despite that he was Kristin’s sloppy seconds, Lauren seemed to enjoy Brody’s company, and as the episode ended, it was clear that this would be the beginning of a torrid love affair. And by “torrid,” I mean “perfectly framed to last the duration of the season.”
What did you think about this episode? Was Heidi cruel to test Spencer like that? Is Ashley Paige the most ridiculous woman ever? And do we approve of Brody or no?

I just watched this on line as we dont get the new season in Australia yet, and already am loving the 2nd season! As I watched Lisa Love pay out on Lauren I was already laughing , thinking to myself “dont you people know the fodder you are giving B Side?!”
A great recap as always.
B-Side, that image of Spencer mid-sip with the “HolyShit” caption was classic.
Did you happen to notice that when he and Heidi were in the back alley, at one point it looks like she is touching the back of her head… and has the HAIRIEST arms ever. But upon closer examination, it was Spencer’s arm. Worth a Tivo rewind, though.
If there was any character in this episode who screamed SITCOM, it was Ashley Paige. I wanted to stick the umbrella handle right up her ass… either that, or through her heart.
That umbrella annoyed the hell out of me!! It looked like one of those mesh outdoor picnic things you cover your food with that they always sew bugs and flowers on.
Great recap B-Side! I love how quick you are at recapping which means I have to watch the show in real-time without the help of my DVR!
I was hoping for an 8th & Ocean crossover too, but that’s probably becuase I just watched the entire season on DVD. An ANTM cameo is all we get? Oh the humanity of the Producers!!!
Excellent recap as usual B-Side!
I like Brody. I think he’s just shy of being too pretty, but he seems to at least have a brain cell or two.
JHill (#5),
I saw the hairy arm too, and remember thinking, WTF, bitch needs a wax fast.
I don’t know how I feel about Brody. I think he’s playing it up for the cameras, b/c both him Spencer are fame whores.
I love The Hills. It goes perfectly with my “Power of Bauer.”
Who exactly is Spencer??? – What does he do for a living? Is he the son of someone famous & wealthy? Does anyone know? – He’s such a douchebag………….
Brody’s schmoozing made me squirm in embarrassment – for him. If I’d been Lauren, I would’ve stuck it out only for the free dinner and then said, “Well, it was nice meeting you.” The guy impressed me as having the sincerity of a scud missle.
i think spencer looks like a lesbian.
What I hate most about Spencer is that he sounds like he’s trying to talk like Matthew McConaughey. And the only thing worse than being him is trying to be him.
“spencer looks like a lesbian” omg hilarity!
I can’t decide if that move by Heidi was Machiavellian and clever or batsh*t insane.
That said, I am really liking LC so far this season. She seems to have grown up a lot and she looks way better… her face looks older, but in this particular case it’s a good thing, like she is less naive.
OMG-ASHLEY PAIGE. WHAT A BITCH! I CAN’T STAND HER. YUCK.
I pretty much hate Spencer, but I think he actually showed intelligence and was correct in his reaction to Heidi’s little test. It was cruel and irrational. I’ve been in her situation before and at no time did I seriously consider telling the guy until I was SURE. It’s a lonely place to be, but it makes no sense (unless you are in a serious committed relationship) to tell the guy. It’s unfair ESPECIALLY if you know you’re not. If Heidi’s having doubts about Spencer (which she obviously is), she needs to let go of him. She should follow her gut . . .and the fact that he clearly lied to her about Audrina.
I like LC. I can relate to her. Brody seems charming, but LC seems smart enough to be a little guarded with him. I mean, he is friends with SPENCER.
I was very proud of Audrina for giving SpongeBob SquareHead (a.k.a. Spencer) the brush off and hanging up on him. That guy is a total loser!
Ashley Paige needs to switch to decaf.
Did anyone else notice that when Lisa Love told them they had to help out at the fashion show the following day Whitney showed up ‘after class the next day’ in the exact same shirt/outfit that she had on in Lisa Love’s office ‘the day before’.
Obviously this happened on the same day, so why not just say that?
I’m getting really tired of the editing on all of my favorite shows, i.e Hills, Top Chef, Project Runway. I think the editors don’t realize that there are seemingly good story lines going on without having to chop up every single scene and add lots of voiceovers.
Cherin- I noticed the same thing also. It’s so insulting that MTV thinks their viewers are that stupid. And I also noticed that the Ashley Paige didn’t have a watch either. Just another example of a media whore trying to get some exposure on a reality TV show. If Lauren works for Teen Vogue, then there was no need for her to work for that runway show, esp. since Ashley Paige obviously had her own interns. She was just trying to get some exposure for her shop. Lame. Ditto for Brody & Spencer (two of the biggest douchebag names I’ve ever heard). ANd Lauren is seriously pathetic for AGAIN dating someone that Kristin did. I’m sure Kristin is laughing her ass off…
B-side thanks for the fast re cap. I loved the part about Spencer and his “holy shit” thoughts!
I’m glad Audrina hung up on that loser.
cherin- I noticed Whitney
wearing the same shirt too.
Spencer is a total idiot. Does he really think he is not going to get caught. I thought that “test” Heidi did was dumb too. She totally fell for his lies. Pathetic.
SweetSassyMolassey
I like Lauren better than last season or on Laguna. She seems like she has grown up a little. I hope she keeps it up. Thankfullly she did a good job at the Ashley Paige thing too.
Ashley Paige was a crazy person. She needed to light a different kind of candle. And really how hard was Lauren’s job that day? Dig out some wax and make sure the models were dressed?? I’m sure she did a good job, but they acted like she was some kind of genius. Are other interns really incapable of doing these tasks that Lauren stood out? WTF
Anyone on this board who hasn’t seen the MAD TV parody of The Hills…download it IMMEDIATELY (it’s on YouTube). MAD TV is hit or miss, but this is definitely the former.
B-Side, I no longer have cable, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for still making me laugh at the stupidity that is The Hills’ second season. (Though I did watch the season premiere online.)
AC, I agree with you that it was very emotionally manipulative of Heidi to make the big deal of telling Spencer…she wasn’t pregnant. Although I don’t think Heidi has the brainpower to be emotionally manipulative, and I’m sure it was producer-coached all the way, it’s still not the greatest idea. Pregnancy scares happen. They suck, but it’s no use getting ANOTHER person all worked up unless you know for sure or unless you two are serious, especially at the stage where he can’t really do anything about it.
I feel for LC with the candle thing. A former boss of mine worked out of his home, and his wife (the “office manager”) would make me do things like go buy diapers for her kid. Oh yeah, and she didn’t have a real job, AND they had a nanny. Plus, I’m a lawyer, not an intern. It sucks to be in that position where you know it’s ridiculous but you can’t really say no.
JHill — I too noticed the hairy arm. I was like Heidi’s a caveman!
Cherin — I think Whitney’s outfit was slightly different on day two, although both outfits featured prominent doily collars.
Who was that Ashley Paige nitwit? Gawd, I wanted to slap some sense into her after a couple minutes of her yammering about that stupid “money candle”.
Spencer = lesbian….I love it … and have to agree.
Just looked up specer and found out his name is Spencer Pratt, here’s his myspace page:
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=54855873
I still hate spencer and the scene in the car was hilarious, despite being evil. While watching the date with brody, all I kept thinking was, if this is what girls want a guy to say on a first date? Because lauren seemed to love every second of it. He seemed way to flirtatious and complimentary for it to be genuine. To me it seemed like overkill but then Lauren seemed to enjoy everything, so then I wondered if other girls were feeling the same way too.
maybeimamazed02- that MadTV parody is hilarious!!!
I really can’t believe that Heidi is dating Spencer, he is such a jerk. Good thing Audrina finally hung up on him!
I thought LC & Brody’s date was actually kind of cute & awkward, just like alot of first dates for someone that age. But LC said it best, he’s been tainted by Kristen!
and after careful review Whitney definitely is wearing the same shirt in both Lisa’s office & at the fashion show.. although it could have been the same day who hasn’t worn the same shirt 2 days in a row?
B-Side
“I’m on your team, embryo! Have you been to Don Antonio’s?”
Is the funniest line I have read on this (very funny) site! I almost chocked on my water I was laughing so hard!
Awesome recap!!!
Holy sh*t, gasmgrrl! Me too! I totally forgot to mention that! That line is by far my favorite . . .ever.
Springtime: Thanks for the link to Spencer’s myspace page… I checked it out b/c I, too, was curious who this guy is. Judging from his page, it looks like he and Heidi are still together which shocks the heck out of me!
B-Side, I love your recaps – they’re hilarious!
J-Light- I agree, I have definitely worn the same shirt twice in a row before, but I bet that was not the case with Whitney, just because it was such a unique blouse (not just a T shirt or something) and because I would think she’d be pretty conscious that she is being filmed, and would try to look good all the time. I think it was just another case of MTV trying to fool us with their crappy editing.
Somebody needs to notify Spencer that there is a typo on his my space acctount. Under orientation (sexual) it states he is straight.
Somebody needs to notify Spencer that there is a typo on his my space account. Under orientation (sexual) it states he is straight. Kid is as queer as a football bat.
Shoot, I think the girls’ couch looks soo comfy, I’d sit on it all the time. I sit on mine a hell of a lot and its not even very comfortable.
Spencer is uber punchable, just looking at him makes my stomach turn. “Spencer plays for both teams”:classic.
Although it was kinda shady, I don’t really think Heidi was out of line w/ testing Spencer. However, if you think you’ve got to test your man like that, you must know he’s not so very great,and maybe you shouldn’t be w/ him or at least not doin’ the nasty w/o a condom to prevent such copulation problems.
I LOVE your ragging on Ashley Paige, she was a complete condescending bitch, very unneccessary. Good call w/ the watch thing. The only way she was remotely redeemed was that she seemed fairly sincere when she thanked Lauren and told her what a good job she did and she wanted to steal her. Hell, she would have hated me. The entire episode I was thinking of the various things I wanted to say to that woman to put her in her place. I don’t care if you’re the freakin King of the World, don’t give me that shit. or, as the phrase kinda goes (or maybe I’m completely rephrasing it) Everyone shits, get over yourself.
Bravo ‘Drina, way to put creepy douchebag in his place. I hope she sticks with it.
Its funny, cause Lauren’s major at FIDM has been something along the lines of fashion production since she started. Way to just now pick up on something that should obviously be known about your interen, Lisa.
It has been soooo long since I have posted on tvgasm!! I am a faithful poster from S2 of LB!! B-Side as always you are great!! Can I marry you??
Spencer is such a dumbass! Does he not realize that this is all being filmed and that it is going to come out that he is such a liar?! Hello! I cant stand the way he talks. Just annoying all around.
And Lauren should have known better. Stay away from Kristen’s men. Get your own men. It just looks pathetic now honey.
LOL, HAHAaaa, Maho, you’re my new best friend.
I also thought that, with the amount,etc, Brody was coming close to insincere. But I also know how dates can be, a reason I hate them, and really, what do you say if you think someone is pretty/cute/hot/funny/whatever that doesn’t sound contrived when you don’t even really know them, but want them to know how you feel?..
that said, I have no doubt that Brody could easily be a douche.
Thank you for the “Spencer looks like a lesbian” comment… that seriously made my night.
I believe Douchebag Spencer said “What a pleasy surprise.”
seriously that guy needs to be severely injured
ok did anyone else notice that when brody called lauren at the fashion show she was using the pink razor and when he called her at home she had the silver one.. i know its retarded to notice but bad editing or does she really have all that time to change her phones around!!??
OK, I just watched this online last night, and here are some more thoughts:
1. Tigereye, you’re right, Brody could be a douche, but he just as easily could have been nervous and therefore going overboard with the “smile” compliments. We’ll see.
2. A couple of thoughts on Ashley Paige:
a. She’s not only a bitch, she seems to be a druggie as well. I suspect she likes the Mary Jane, although the day of the fashion show she may well have been snorting coke.
b. What was with the sloppy jeans and T-shirt? I can understand that kind of attire before the show, but wouldn’t you want to look nice when they brought you out at the end? I know I would. What pisses me off is that she probably looked like crap on purpose to be “cool” and “ironic.” Sweetie, it works for Phillip Seymour Hoffman. It doesn’t work for you.
3. Why do the LB/Hills girls always go for NASTY-looking guys? Say what you want about Stephen and Trey first season, at least they were cute. (Brody’s pretty cute too, actually, but he’s the exception rather than the rule.)
Well, in the After Show @ MTV.COM Heidi insisted that Soencer a great guy, so there’s a chance that they are still dating … whatever.
An “America’s Next Top Model” crossover, eh? Who in the hell is Eva Pigford?
Didn’t she reinvent herself at “Eva Marcel” recently?
Krikies with a last name like that, who wouldn’t?
Mary Jane is a drug?
Ok, I LOVED the 1st season the Hills and I realize that they set up some of it. But the Brody Jenner thing come on Lauren, try getting so fresh meat and not Kristin’s leftovers!
<>
Absolutely classic. I don’t even bother watching the show anymore. I just read these ridiculously epic recaps. Thats said, I still think you guys should go back and recap all the “Rob & Big” episodes. That show was ripe for parody.
Whoops…my inital remark in the above post referred to the following line from the recap.
“If this were a sitcom (and I’m not totally convinced that it’s not), someone would then put their hands on their hips and say, “Heiiiii-di!”"
Thanx maybeimamazed02, the Mad TV clip is hilarious!
Brody is layin’ it on very thick. His compliments come off as kind of slimy being that he was with Kristin not too long ago. It seemed like he was trying to dominate conversation there for a minute too when she was just trying to explain why others have said her smile was different.
LC’s gotta know better than going after her archrival’s leftovers
Speaking of Kristin’s leftovers , is Brody Jenner like a male Paris Hilton? He has modeled a little and been in a reality show about himself. Oh, and has a semi-famous father “ but really doesn’t have much to be famous for. And THAT brings us to Spencer, who is even worse, because he’s nothing but Brody’s hanger-on.
HAH Spencer DOES look like a lesbian…
Heidi is so bummed that she’s not pregnant. An abortion on national tv would have been a great opportunity for her…
omG so much to comment on. I was dying during the back alley scene, that was great. I can’t believe you noticed Eva B-Side, I thought I was the only one. Btw Brody is pretty darn cute, but there’s no way I’d date a leftover of Kristin’s if I was LC. Ashley Paige was cracking me up – “how do you know what time it is if you don’t wear a watch”. This week was pure entertainment for me.
