Is The Hills quite possibly the best reality show EVER? No, probably not. But dammit if that’s the feeling you get after every episode in its wonderful sophomore season. At last, the show that was kind of like Laguna but not really has found its voice, and it is great. Petty arguments, insincere bitches, thinly veiled passive-aggression, and a handful of idiotic comments — it all makes for compelling television. Granted, I could do without the nonstop questions circling LC and her relationship with Brody Jenner, and I could also probably go without the incessant Jennerisms, which border on such simplistic observations as “Your hair is pretty.” But I guess that stuff sends all the thirteen year old girls into a rapturous frenzy, and who am I to deny a tween her God-given right to swoon uncontrollably?This week started with a stern warning from Lauren: beware, aspiring suitors. She wasn’t ready to see anyone, not even “a guy as nice as Brody.” NOT EVEN BRODY???? WTF??? No source of such smiling niceness should ever be denied! You are a cruel she-beast, Ms. Lauren Conrad! Methinks you’ve been spending too much time under the harsh rule of one Lisa Love.
However, Lauren’s reticence to welcome such nice boys as Brody Jenner into her life wasn’t the only big story of this episode. The exciting news was that Heidi was going to be celebrating her birthday, which could only lead to disaster. It’s pretty much an unspoken rule that any event on The Hills that promises joy, happiness, and fun will almost always be undermined by cattiness, passive-aggression, and, if J-Wahl is involved, cocaine. Well, for this big soiree, we could already see the next disaster coming a mile away. Yes, Heidi wanted to have the best party, and that entailed keeping Audrina far, far away. Good luck with that. I’m sure the producers will gladly see to it that she’s stuck singing karaoke in Little Armenia that night.
Anyway, in anticipation of Heidi’s big night, she and Lauren hit up a little boutique to do some shopping. This, of course, led to Audrina-bashing with Heidi saying, “We’re not friends; so I’m not going to invite someone who’s not my friend.” Seemed logical, but, since this was Heidi, it wasn’t long before she stopped making sense entirely.
“I don’t dislike her; so I don’t care if she’s there,” Heidi then said/blatantly lied. Oddly enough, she then added, “But I’m not going to invite her because I don’t like her.” Hmmm… I wonder if Heidi realized she just contradicted herself completely. She basically just said, “I don’t hate Audrina. It’s just that I hate Audrina.”
Nevertheless, it really didn’t matter because there were more important things to discuss: like the fact that Heidi would be wearing a tiara to her party — not that she lavishes in the attention or anything. Yes, this was so going to be a catastrophe. Any party that’s presided over by a girl in a tiara will almost always end with an $800 cake on a floor and perhaps broken glass too. However, for now, everything was just wonderful for Heidi, and as she entered a daydream world filled with tiaras and marshmallow clouds, we then watched the opening credits roll by, eventually leaving us with a wide shot of Los Angeles and the words “THE BEST NIGHT EVER” on screen. Bring it, MTV. Bring it.
Anyway, we then found LC meeting up with a freshly shorn Brody Jenner (such a nice guy!) for lunch. Like a white, preppy version of Kid from Kid ‘n’ Play, Brody’s hair was now tall and curly, making him look about fourteen years old and goofier than usual. “Don’t laugh at my haircut,” he told Lauren, but he needn’t worry. Let’s not forget that she spent a good portion of last year dating Jason, a guy whose hair more often than note resembled a sparrow’s nest.

Speaking of Jason, Brody decided to probe Lauren about her relationship with the silent coke fiend, asking “Did it end on a bad note?” Um, just slightly. However, LC merely shrugged and played it off, as if we didn’t see that whole awkward, teary golf club exchange on the season premiere. Yeah, totally amicable split. And by “amicable,” I mean “she sobbed her eyes out, he got stoned and giggled.”
Lauren then turned the tables on Brody, asking him about his love life too. “You went from Kristin to Nicole, right?” she asked, referring to fellow reality stars Kristin Cavalleri and Nicole Richie. Well, Brody’s brain promptly shut down as he tried to remember a) if he had dated the girls in that order, b) if there were any girls in between, and c) who the hell “Kristin” and “Nicole” were in the first place.
Ultimately, Brody said that yes, he had gone from Kristin to Nicole with very little transition time between the two. This shocked Lauren, who couldn’t understand how Brody could never be single. Well, if Brody were single, then he’d never be able to say those cheeseball lines that girls love so much. Lines like what he said next: “I’m still looking for someone to cuddle with.” Awwwww. Brody…. Other things he’s looking for: A CAREER.
Speaking of careers, we then found Audrina talking to fellow EPIC INTERN (I feel like any time you call an intern “epic,” it must be capitalized) Chiara. She explained how she wasn’t invited to Heidi’s birthday party, but she still wanted to wish her happy birthday — maybe even show off her herpes-infested lip. Well, this was all very kindergarten to Chiara. In her opinion, Audrina should just go to the party, wish Heidi happy birthday, and see how things go from there. Oh Chiara, what a drama enabler you are!
Audrina then bashed Spencer a little bit, saying, “He is a dirt bag. He is a pig.” She then added that this would be the last time she’d try to get through to Heidi. Oh heavens no! We wouldn’t want Audrina to stop trying to latch onto the LC clique! That would be a travesty! Color me concerned!
Meanwhile, over in glamourous Beverly Hills, LC and Heidi settled into two chairs at the Warren Tricomi Salon and raised two glasses of suspiciously champagne-colored water. “To the best night ever!” Lauren toasted, clearly not realizing that the S. S. Audrina was sailing into port tonight.
Later, Heidi babbled on about her birthday outfit, saying she’d be wearing something sexy and sophisticated — a.k.a. a black tutu. I’m not fashion maven, but I don’t usually associated “sophisticated” with “tutu,” but again, what do I know? Heidi then declared, “I’m an American princess!” Yes, we’ve been saying that for quite some time. Glad you finally came around, Heid.
Sadly, Lauren revealed some bad news. Dearest Whitney would not be attending the Princess’s grand ball on account of being too tired. I hardly believed this story, mostly because any time Whitney’s invited to hang out with Lauren’s friends, she usually perks up like a dog about to fetch a bone. Nevertheless, she was gonna be a no-show, but that was okay. As long as The Drina was nowhere to be found, Heidi would be happy. In fact, Heidi announced that Audrina was definitely not coming to the party. How did she know? She didn’t really. She just assumed the royal decree would make its way to her — Heidi is a princess after all.
“She can come., but she’s not coming to my party,” Heidi laughed, the power of the precious tiara already turning her into a latter-day party Golem.
In fact, by the time the birthday bash at Les Deux (yes, the very same establishment owned by Big Brother’s Mike Boogie) rolled around, Heidi had turned into full-fledged diva. With tiara firmly in place and tutu flapping about, she galavanted about the room, literally yelling, “I’M SO CUTE!!!!” And just in case we didn’t believe her, she then noted, “Nobody can eat me. I’M SO CUTE!!!!” SILENCE.

“I’M SO CUTE!!! LOOK AT ME!!! I’M CUTE!!!!”

“And now I am British and demure.”
While Heidi proclaimed her cuteness/degree of edibility, Spencer and Brody commiserated in the corner, eyeing Lauren. Spencer wanted the Brodester to tap that ass, but Brody, being the super nice guy that he is, was hesitant. He had just gotten out of a relationship like a week ago.
“Today though…” Spencer said, causing both of them to stare at each other and laugh for entirely way longer than the unfinished though merited.
Just when this party was starting to feel like it just may have been the Best Night Ever, in came the torpedo of awfulness that was THE DRINA. Even worse, she had two cell phones going at once. Oh, she is insufferable!. As soon as she was spotted by Lauren and Heidi from their perch high above the club, the two went into stealth mode. Or perhaps, “frantic ladybug pandemonium” mode. Yes, like two little insects caught between a window pane and the screen, the two darted around chaotically without actually going anywhere. They ultimately wound up slinking around with Jen, formerly of Laguna and most famous for never fearing to apply that extra layer of foundation to her face.
Well, they could run, but they couldn’t hide. Lauren was the first unlucky person to encounter the vortex of torpor that is Audrina, and that could only mean one thing: phony pleasantries. The two exchanged fake hugs and greetings, and almost as quickly as it had began, Lauren quickly ended it by stating, “I’ll be back in five minutes, okay?” She then added, “DIE!”
Moments later, we then saw Heidi literally trying to run past Audrina, but no one could get by her wretched demon eyes. The Drina managed to stop her and wish her happy birthday, which kicked off a brief conversation that could only be categorized as icy, icy cold.
“You’re not mad at me, are you?” Audrina asked, clearly not realizing that when you’re not invited to a birthday party, it usually means that person HATES you.
“No,” a curt Heidi replied. Brrrrrrrrrr! I believe there’s some frost accumulating on my TV screen!

Audrina then tried to talk about the whole situation with Heidi, but it was such a downer topic and truthfully, not a very good time to bring it up. Heidi said she wanted to talk about it another time, causing Audrina to agree and say, “We’ll talk about it later. Did you–”
But The Drina was suddenly cut off by Heidi randomly blaring out, “Oh, snap!” It didn’t really make sense — the best I could approximate was that someone had distracted Heidi away from the conversation (probably by dangling some yarn). Nevertheless, Audrina put up her hand as if to say, “Oh no you did not just say ‘Oh snap!’ right when I was talking to you!” and walked away.
Just when it seemed as though the worst of it was over, none other than Jen decided to stir the pot. You see, Heidi has somehow graduated from sidekick to Master status, which meant there was a void in the power balance of The Hills. Hence, the presence of Jen — a shared sidekick for both Heidi and Lauren. As a sidekick, it was her duty to defend the honor of her Master, which meant she now wanted to go over to Audrina and talk some sense into her. According to Jen, Aud was talking smack about Heidi behind her back, and I’m sorry, Jen was not going to stand for that. NO ONE CAN STOP JEN, DEFENDER OF HEIDI MONTAG!
Sure enough, Jen approached Audrina and essentially told her to go away, attacking, “You’re such a random girl. You don’t know anything about the situation!” Oh the plight of the uninformed, random girl. Will they ever learn? We then cut to Brody and Spencer, who were still giggling about who knows what, possibly enjoying the burgeoning drama unfolding amidst the women of the party.
Back at the Jen-frontation, Audrina claimed that all she wanted to do was come by say happy birthday and then go back downstairs to the rest of the club. “I think that’s the best idea,” Jen said, amusingly adding, “Not that I don’t like you or anything.” NICE SAVE. Good ol’ Jen. Just in case sidekicking duties don’t work out with Lauren and Heidi, she’s still trying to kiss up to The Drina.
Ultimately, this all wound up with Audrina leaving the club in tears, asking her friend on the phone, “What did I do???” What did you do? WELL… you…. um…. you did nothing technically, but don’t you see? You’re clearly AWFUL! I mean, even though it’s Spencer who’s been the idiot ass who destroyed a perfectly nice friendship, clearly you’re to blame, Audrina!
Later that night, we found Lauren, Heidi, and Jen back at the apartment, huddled together on the couch, enjoying some Chinese takeout. Still campaigning to be the next official sidekick, Jen did some more shameless ass-kissing, this time praising Heidi’s anticipatory duck sauce benevolence. “Oh, you’re so sweet! You knew I wanted to dip! You did it for me!” Jen cooed. Kind of made me wonder what sort of dreary background she comes from where the simple act of making duck sauce readily available is greeted with unbridled joy. I can just imagine Jen as a child, reaching for the duck sauce, only to have her father yank it away from her, yelling, “NO CONDIMENTS FOR YOU! Now put on another layer of makeup like I told you!”
Anyway, after talking about the party a little bit, the focus then returned to Lauren and whether or not she was dating Brody. Don’t you get it, guys? She doesn’t want a relationship right now… as evidenced by the way her eyes glow and her heart goes pitter-pat every times she speaks about Brody (such a nice guy).
Ultimately, Lauren pondered, “Why do we always compare guys to accessories?”, causing Heidi to reply, “Because they’re disposable.” OH NO SHE DI’INT! Meanwhile, I’d like to see someone try to throw out one of Heidi’s accessories. Yeah, probably not as easy as it sounds. We’re not so disposable after all! Ha!
The next day, we then headed over to the Teen Vogue offices where sadly, we were not treated to a scene with Lisa Love. Instead, we heard Whitney yapping away about how she just got a manicure and now it was already chipped. HORRORS! Blame Audrina!
Speaking of The Drina, she called up Lauren and asked her if they could go to lunch, an inevitable chore whose time had come. Knowing that this could be a truly terrible experience, Lauren enlisted the help of Whitney, and the two girls headed over to Café Verona where they met up with the bête noire of Los Angeles. At first, everything was fine and dandy. Audrina asked forced questions about Lauren’s love life, and for the umpteenth time, we heard LC talk about how she just wanted to be single right now. Eventually, this superficial small talk ran its course, and the trio were left with nothing but awkward, awkward silence. Personally, I didn’t know what the hell was wrong with Whitney. The whole reason she was there was to break the silence with some dopey comment like “I heard that orioles are really beautiful birds. Don’t you wish there were orioles in Los Angeles?”
However, Whitney was tight-lipped, which meant that the girls had to finally broach the subject of Heidi. Audrina insisted that she wasn’t aiming to ruin the birthday party, and Lauren then explained that Heidi just didn’t want to talk about it, and the two girls went back and forth, affably talking about the situation without actually confronting it. And in case you’re wondering, Whitney added nothing to the dialogue, except for sighing, “Girl fights…” So true. So true.
Well, nothing really seemed to be gained from the talk, and when it was over, the girls returned to their old, superficial ways. “Just because me and Heidi aren’t friends doesn’t mean that we can’t be,” Audrina told LC. Yeah, um, you’re pretty much out of the loop. Smell ya later, Aud!
After the commercial break, Lauren dutifully reported back everything to Heidi, who quietly absorbed the information, thought about it, and for a moment appeared to have an expression of remorse on her face. However, she bottled that all up and jokingly said, “I don’t care. I have too many friends and too little time!” Yes, that demanding schedule of standing outside a club with a clipboard one night a week was entirely too all-encompassing.
Speaking of clubs, we then saw LC and Heidi out at local hotspot Area, and guess who was there? That’s right. THE DRINA. The girls stayed away from each other, merely sufficing to shoot each other nasty looks instead. Of course, Brody and Spencer soon arrived, causing Heidi to announce, “I think this party is secretly starting now, officially!” She then added, “AND I AM SO DAMN CUTE!!!!! CUTE CUTE CUTE!!!!”
Okay, she didn’t say that, but while she welcomed Spencer, Audrina and her friends scoffed from afar, with one girls correctly stating, “Spencer is the ultimate cheese.” It was an understatement, really.
Nevertheless, Spencer told Heidi, “Do not let that girl come between us tonight, please,” — as if it were all Audrina’s fault that there was even a fight in the first place. Meanwhile, Lauren sat on a couch with Jen, but the aspiring sidekick was soon quite literally displaced when she was kicked off the seat to make room for her Master’s love interest, Brody. Yes, literally everyone was sitting except Jen, who was left to stand and hover over the group awkwardly. If that’s not sidekick behavior, I don’t know what is.
Well, now that he had a seat next to LC, the Brodester could start working his magic. “You have the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen,” he told her, quietly winning her over with his unchecked niceness. Sure enough, we suddenly found the two back at Brody’s condo (which is a mere two or three blocks away from the TVgasm home offices, it should be known). I enjoyed watching them walk through the front door and act completely unsurprised that there happened to be a camera man already in the living room, lying in wait to document them. Not that this show is staged or anything…
Anyway, the two headed out to the balcony where Brody planted a small kiss on Lauren’s lips, but she soon rebuffed him, forcing him to settle for just a hug. This led to what felt like two hours of flirty dialogue, with Brody complimenting nearly ever feature of Lauren’s face. Well, there’s nothing like some flattery to warm a girl’s heart. Brody managed to penetrate the fortress and kiss Lauren again, this time for longer (but just as nicely, as is his nature). This was then intercut with Heidi kissing Spencer, and of course, Audrina leaving the club ALONE. Looks like she’s got a one way ticket to Spinsterville!

“I want us to get old together — but of course, I’ll have to insist on annual face lifts, as per my father’s wishes.”
Poor, plain Audrina. Is she misunderstood? Or more guilty than she lets on? And is anyone on Team Audrina? So many pressing questions! What did you think about this episode?
If you like it, spread it!:

Is it just me or does it seem like Lauren is not in school this semester?
Fashion school drop out
spencer looks like a lego man
What’s the big obsession with Spencer? That guy’s a dickwad.
When wanna-be sidekick Jen was told to leave her seat next to LC for Brody, she informed us that she “loooooooooves to stand up”. Silly girl…sidekicks are not supposed to get all lippy like that.
Does anybody get annoyed when LC does her little “thank you” cooing?
Today’s events were so bittersweet. First, I found out that my favorite racehorse thus far-Barbaro-had been put down. Thumbs down. Then I realized a new episode of The Hills would be on tonight. Thumbs up. Then I stumbled upon an episode that I had not yet seen…and I was getting a new episode tonight?!? Double thumbs up. While watching the previews for tonight’s show, I realized I was watching the very episode that was scheduled to air tonight during “The 10 Spot” (or whatever goofy name they call it now). Now I had nothing to look forward to for the rest of my bleak day. Thumbs down. I watched VH1 for a while–some Miss America training class show. It reminded me of Family Double Dare, had a cameo of Delta Burke, and I noticed that one of the contestants had a huge, crazily square head. Overall, thumbs up. Next was I Love New York. Thumbs down. I realized I could change the channel. Thumbs way up. Eventually, I ended up watching the same episode of The Hills twice within a few hours. Reluctantly, thumbs up.
Seriously though, what’s up with MTV airing a show in the afternoon and then playing it off as a first-rum that night? I did love the sloppy seconds, though. And will indulge for a third or forth time, I’m sure.
Jasminethegreat-I don’t think Lauren is in school either. I was thinking the same.
Three thoughts: For starters, I think Lauren is trying to play it oh-so-cool cause she knows she’s bound to get screwed over by the next boy to come around for airtime. When she does, she can be like, “well, I didn’t want to be in a relationship anyway.” Even though deep down, she’d totally jump at the chance to be Brody’s girlfriend. Why wouldn’t she…his dad was on Skating with Celebrities after all.
What’s going on with Whitney? I think there’s trouble in Teen Vogue Land and production doesn’t want viewers to be aware of any tension. Interaction between the two seems a bit too forced. Then again, thinking may be forced.
Finally, Sidekick Jen frightens me. She was a little too eager to confront Audrina about any Heidi smack-talking taking place. I bet she’d be an awesome roller derby-er.
“As a sidekick, it was her duty to defend the honor of her Master… NO ONE CAN STOP JEN, DEFENDER OF HEIDI MONTAG!”
B-Side, you crack me up!!! I love your master/sidekick references and it’s nice to see we have a new version of “The Lexie” with “The Drina”
Thanks for giving me some good late night laughs!
http://audgepodge.blogspot.com/2007/01/recap-hills-oh-snap.html
Has anyone seen Good Morning America this morning? Whitney was on, modeling an Oscar Gown with 3 other models, and fell down the stairs. It wasn’t like last season when Heidi’s bf busted his ass on New Years, she did it very gracefully LOL.
The amount of awkward silence on this show kills me; that freakin lunch at Cafe Verona? I would have said ANYTHING to fill the void!
I could do without Tantastic Jen; her Jenfrontation with The ‘Drina was obviously a ploy for camera time. And that snotty “I love to stand” comment? Indeed, know thy place, sidekick!
Spencer is a douche, and it appears that next week he’ll do something dumb that a drunken Heidi will be quite upset about.
I cannot stand Spencer or Brody. They are both weird, cheesy, unattractive hanger-ons.
Please Heidi and Lauren – GET RID OF THOSE ASSHOLES!
What they did to Jen was WRONG. Making her stand-up like that. So rude. I applaud her for getting snappy with them.
Okay, first of all I must pay homage to B-Side – the screencaps were absolutely hysterical!! As was this quote: I can just imagine Jen as a child, reaching for the duck sauce, only to have her father yank it away from her, yelling, “NO CONDIMENTS FOR YOU! Now put on another layer of makeup like I told you!” Thanks so much I almost died laughing at work!
This episode pissed me off to no end. Can anyone else agree with me that it seemed that 8-Bahl had made an appearance to the party and nearly EVERYONE-ESPECIALLY HEIDI!!! B-Side’s back-to-back screencaps are proof… In one pic she’s high as a kite and the next she’s coming down hard! I wanted to punch Heidi, birthday or not just for twirling around and saying “oh snap!” at least three times when there was nothing to “snap” about. I’m on TEAM ‘DRINA SIMPLEX. The poor girl really has not done anything to Heidi as far as I can see. I hope she stirs shit up next episode when she tells Heidi what a dumb cunt she is for not seeing that Spencer Squarepants is a douchenozzle… GO TEAM AUDRINA!
B side! Great Screen cap of Heidi “I’m so cute!” and now “I’m British” Too funny.
First, isn’t Brody a little creepy with all his compliments. He is trying way too hard. I’d run away if I were Lauren.
Second, that lunch with Audrina was the stupidest thing on reality tv. Say something Lauren. Have a back bone and say why Heidi is mad at Audrina. What is the big secret already. And don’t pretend you are still going to be friends with Audrina either. That was lame.
I can’t figure out why Audrina hasn’t figured out why Heidi is mad either. Dah… You went out with the square head while Heidi was going out with him too. dah….
Oh, Snap! Can I be on team NOT SPENCER!?! He’s so cheese. It really bugs me when girls fight over guys when they should ditch the CHEESE!! :O) It’s a simple concept, but it looks like next episode Heidi and The Drina will start to actually do something that makes sense, COMMUNICATE! Oh, Snap!
I thought it was such a jerk move when Spencer ordered Jen to remover her sidekick self from the couch so Brody can creep in on LC! Alas, it was too sidekick of Jen to passively aggressively take it… Good thing she LOOOOOOVES standing!!!
Even though Jen got a little lippy with her sarcasm, no one cared. No one was even paying attention to what she was saying. I thought it was funny.
Apparently Brody and LC, and Spencer and Heidi are still dating. If you go to TMZ.com it shows them all coming out of a club and LC and Brody were holding hands and she sat on his lap in the car. And of course Spencer was being douche yelling about Prince’s of Malibu, blah blah. Someone sock him please.
Southernbelle—was all that thumbs up thumbs down, what you watched all day….necessary?
Dsher: Brody is VERY creepy. Actually, not exactly creepy, just incredibly obvious. He makes me squirm. Does he realize how ridiculous he sounds?
Lauren strikes me as a decent kid – nice, polite, well-mannered. I noticed a long time ago how she always makes a point to thank the servers whenever she eats out, which to me says a lot about a person. Unfortunately, these are the kinds of girls who are pretty much always taken for a ride because they’re sincere and trusting. She eats up every compliment Brody makes, and I think he knows it, which is why he keeps doing it. And look how many chances she kept giving Jason.
What ever happened to Lo? Are she and Lauren still friends? I loved Lo – she cracked me up!
I was cracking up when Spencer told Jen to get up and allow Brody to sit. I could not believe she actually listened too! And then her sarcastic comment about how she loves to stand up added to the hilarity, only to be trumped by the fact that NO ONE listened or cared about what she said.
My fav is still Whitney, she seems like the most stable person on this show, and I don’t fault her for not getting involved at the lunch with drina and LC.
I sensed some definite chemistry between Brody and Spencer. When they shared that prolonged laugh that probably wasn’t just out of drunkenness… the sparks flew.
You have to love the petty drama this show gives us. Heidi was really annoying at her birthday party and she should really grow up and either address the problem or completely forget it, not waver back and forth being so wishy-washy. There’s nothing worse than that.
I think Lauren is such a sweet girl. I think the problem is that she has this show & it’s hard to tell whether guys want to be with her for her, or if they just want their 15 minutes of fame.
Regardless, I think she’s a classy chick & always handles herself the right way.
Heidi also seems like a sweet girl, but this whole triangle between her, SPencer & Audrina is a mess! – They need to communicate & compare notes on that slimeball Spencer. Hopefully after watching this season she’ll finally tell him to go kick rocks.
& I agree with you, mandymax – I loved Lo too! WHAT HAPPENED TO HER???
Every now and then I get this feeling that SpongeBob SquareHead (a.k.a. Eddie Haskell, a.k.a. Spencer) has his sights set on Lauren. He wants camera time so what better a way to get it than going after the star of the show?
I’m not convinced at all that Audrina knowingly dated Spencer at the same time as Heidi. The television viewers really didn’t see the beginning of this Heidi/Audrina feud. The season started with Heidi already angry with Audrina. So when and what was the defining moment that turned their friendship into a conflict? Based on what I’ve seen, I don’t blame Audrina for feeling confused about Heidi’s hostility toward her. Once she saw the way Spencer was going behind Heidi’s back, much to her credit, she dropped him like a hot potato. So unless there is more to this spat than meets the eye, I’m having difficult time understanding Heidi’s anger. Although Spencer is doing everything in his power to keep the battle going. Even more so now that Audrina told him to take a hike.
I’ve always felt that Jen was a little jealous of Lauren dating back to their “old” Laguna days. That’s not to say they still can’t be friends, but some of the things she’s said to Lauren in the past seemed like passive-aggressive put-downs.
I agree mandymax, Lo was so much fun to watch and I miss seeing her and Lauren hanging out together. I believe she’s still at UC Santa Barbara, but it’s not that far away from Los Angeles to where they should lose contact altogether. That is unless they just drifted apart for some reason. I loved the dynamics of their friendship¦they had sort of a “straight-man (Lauren)/funny-man (Lo)” thing going on¦kind of like Laurel and Hardy!
Lo transferred to UCLA. She’s in a soror.. KKG? I don’t know, but I don’t think her and LC are friends anymore.
“I just got out of a relationship a week ago, bro..” said Brody. Oh really? You were laying it on pretty thick to LC. Doesn’t sound like a guy mourning a relationship gone sour.
In this episode, I couldn’t stand Jen for butting in at the club. Audrina should have told her to bug off.
Brodie is definitely laying it on extra thick. I wonder if Kristin watches and compares notes, checking off everything he is telling Lauren. I’ll bet she’s heard it all before.
As for Lo, I saw a picture of her on a gossip blog attending LC’s party premier of The Hills, so it looks like they’re still friends. Once I read that she wanted a normal life at LB, which might be the reason we don’t see her on the shows very much.
Spencer is a douche. He needs a dose of his own medicine. I cheered when Audrina hung up on him.
woops. Lo wanted a normal life AFTER Laguna Beach, not AT LB.
I miss Lo, too.
Does anyone else think that it is insanely weird that Audrina hasn’t just come out and said to Heidi, “listen retard, Spencer was making moves on me behind your back, so I don’t know how you could possibly be angry with me for that…take your insecurities out on someone else so that I may resume suckling on the teet that is this 15 minutes of fame.”
Also, I know it was mentioned in the recap, but what was up with Heidi and the “oh snap!” thing? If you notice, she actually does it a couple of times while doing this stupid little dance.
I am on Team Audrina because Heidi wont talk it out with the Drina like a mature woman would.I think that Heidi is insecure with Spencer and fears he would drop her for Drina. Everyone sees he is a douchebag. As far as Brody is concerned, he is laying it on thick to get the pantiies down the road.His game is very lame but works because he has a great smile. Jen is a fool looking for more camera time. The only reason Spencer is with Heidi is to be on MTV. He is some type of movie producer.
I agree that I miss Lo, she was Lauren’s best friend ever. I heard she did transfer to UCLA which is curious because that is very close to Lauren’s vicinity. I think we might see Lo this season. She was very funny. Heidi is very immature.
I’m team Heidi since it mostly seems like Audrina just in it for the drama. She’ll be all pouty saying she doesn’t understand why Heidi’s mad and then she’s saying Heidi’s mad over Spencer. Then you obviously know why Heidi’s mad! I know telling Heidi that Spencer was trying to hook up with both of them at the same time won’t work because Heidi won’t believe it, but Drina could just be the bigger person and say she didn’t know and once she found out about them she stopped going after him. If it’s really such a misunderstanding why doesn’t she try to explain everytime she sees her? Instead she either acts like she’s mad or makes some lame ass apology that doesn’t feel sincere. Hell, I wouldn’t accept her apology either then.
Also, I think the “oh, snap” thing might be from Fergie’s “London Bridge” song. It’s originally supposed to be “oh, shit” but “oh, snap” is the censored version. Why she kept repeating it, I don’t know.
Per Wikipedia, it looks like “Oh snap” goes back to 1989 when hip hop singer Biz Markie used the expression per the below:
“Oh, snap! is an expression popularized by Markie in the 1989 song “Just a Friend”. It has since entered the mainstream as an expression of disbelief. It has also entered use as acknowledgement of a diss by third parties, to heighten the feeling of disrespect and insult. “Oh, Snap!” has been known to be used as a form of salutation. It may also be used as an expression of shock or amazement. It is also another way of saying “zing!”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biz_Markie
So Lo is at UCLA now? Wow, she and Lauren could hang out all of the time unless Lo just wants completely out of the spotlight.
I agree that Jen was stupid for going up to Audrina. When Jen was telling LC that she’s going to talk to Audrina, LC was like “why??” And I was thinking ‘exactly!!’ What the hell does she have to do with it? Audrina didn’t even say anything bad about Heidi. LC was even trying to tell Jen to not worry about it. Jen and Heidi are idiots. I miss Lo too!
And i’m for Team Audrina because she’s tried to talk to Heidi like how many times already and Heidi just acts childish.
Is it just me or does anyone else notice how everyone sounds a little congested and raspy this season?
Seems like the kids might be indulging in a few too many party favors, or maybe just too many parties. Think Tara Reid girls – being dissipated and bloated in your twenties does NOT spell happy times ahead!
Spencer and Audrina actually make a good pair with their awkward, vacant smiles and poor bone structure.
nah, i think audrina knew she was sneaking around with spencer when he was dating heidi… see episode one.
did anyone else see steven at the birthday party? i swear to go he was there…
So Brody sounded like he memorized some kind of list of one-liners and just repeated them back to Lauren. Seriously, they’ve never had a conversation about anything except that she “looks amazing,” or some other brainless line. And Heidi was completely unbearable this episode. I really don’t like her.
Why hasn’t anyone commented on the annoying way Whitney sais amazink-g in the first episode? Can someone tell me where she is from? Why do these girls all insist on speaking in the same way? It is sad because every teenage girl that watches these episodes will soon speak this way and we will have an army of vapis speaking morons.
Anyway, I think that Audrina and Spencer are related, they both have chubby chipmunk cheeks, and speek in a way that will eventually dry up their gumline.
Also, what is it with Heidi and her stupid twirling wrist when she said snap?
I am sorry for all the hate, but these cheeseballs make me sick.
More than any other so-called reality show, this show feels totally contrived. Like the producers are forcing these people to interact hoping for some drama but all they get are awkward silences. What this show needs is a Kristin type who will stir up trouble. The Drina ain’t happening there. I wonder if that Teen Vogue intern from NY is being brought it for that purpose.
And though it’s been a while since I’ve been in my 20s, none of my boyfriends back then were as lame as Spencer and Brody. Brody’s lines seem so forced and insincere. I can’t believe they would have worked on Kristin.
Spencer as a lego man. Hahahahahah. Brilliant. I knew I recognized him!!

What the hell is with the jewelry that Spencer and Brody wear? Those man necklaces are SUCH a turn-off. Jewelry + Men = Disaster
so I was at Area for NYE, and the Hills was taping there… and my really drunk guy friend who never has seen an ep of the hills or lb claims he made out with Lo – he chose Lo b/c he said she was the one who went to UCSB – i on the other hand could not find any of the girls! So maybe it was Lo and maybe it wasn’t!!!
I agree spencer and Brody are definately fucking each other..the matching necklaces’ was over the top..its Night at the Roxbury all over again.

I’m so glad u mentioned THE DRINA’s herp, Bside, that thing was FIERCE lookin! THE DRINA has lost it, and by “it” I mean about 20 lbs. and the ability to hide those buck bucks if u know what I mean.
From the wise words of Lil Wayne, “slow down ma, ur teeth too long, u prawlly chew it”

Brody is a big block of cheese. If a guy was constantly naming every part of my face he “honestly thinks is so beautiful and amazing” I’d run the other way, especially because he’s just gotten out of a relationship a week or two ago.
Warning signs this guy is: NEEDY, CLINGY, CO-DEPENDENT!!!
It’s just that his lines are simple, over-the-top, and come off as incensere at best.
I noticed from the minute Lauren and Heidi sat down at the salon, they sounded drunk. Lauren doens’t usually show that much energy/emotion when she talks. Then B-side confirmed they were drinking something. I believe it.
The Audrina thing just bores me. We get it, Heidi is mad at you and you don’t know why. We don’t need you to convinently appear at every nightclub just to remind us.
Too bad that Whitney isn’t around more this season, I like her. Even though all she really does is restate the obvious.
I’m beginning to not like Heidi more and more after every episode this season. She’s incredibly annoying and immature… she acts like she’s in middle school. I loved LC with Lo 100 times more. This episode was very high school drama like… like the way Heidi acted towards Audrina and how Jen went up to Audrina at Heidi’s party.
Team Audrina all the way! This girl is gorgeous and Heide is getting played and hates The Drina insetad of going after the real slime ball here: Spencer. And LC has no spine by going to lunch with The Drina, dragging poor Whitney along and then not saying anything throughout the whole lunch.
It takes a secure confident individual to be friends with a girl as hot as Audrina, and it’s apparent that Heide & LC are not.
Go Audrina!
RANDOM – There was a song played in this ep called “Notice Me” by Kari Kimmel – this chick just bought a tv from us we had listed on Craigslist. I just thought I’d share something so random w/my fellow TVGasmers.
This summer I read a short interview with LC in STAR magazine… when asked about Lo, she stated, and I quote, “I’m not friends with Lo anymore. People change.” Vague, yes, but I heard she ended her friendship with Lo when Lo was a little too verbal about her dislike of Jason.
Smart move, LC. Dump your best friend because she quite rightly has some misgivings about your coke-wielding, kissing other women in front of you, wierdo boyfriend!!
Maybe they’ve made up now that Lo was obviously proved right?
