This week on The Hills, not enough happened to fill up 22 minutes of air time, we here at the gasm were reassured that we are in no danger of The Hills girls taking over our recap jobs, and the editors fell asleep at the dubbing wheel.
Business or personal?
We hear in Lauren's voiceover opening that Deadrina took off for the WHOLE WEEKEND with Bustin. What?! They didn't just go to the beach and have another metaphor-laden discussion about not dating, sealed with a does-this-mean-I'm-in-the-buddy-zone fist punch or, worse, a high-five?
Deadrina bounces into the apartment wearing a hoodie from the Punky Brewster collection. On the back is the number 77, which in numerology means holy emptiness. Holy emptiness, Bustin! Look at the happiness in Deadrina's eyes! LC and Dead hug like they haven't seen each other in years. LC asks what they did on their trip. According to Dead, they "had good talks and fooled around and were silly." I like to imagine them discussing what colors look best with their skin tones, after they sign into the hotel as Mr. and Mrs. A. Sole and play mad libs. But they probably just boned all weekend. So is he going to buy the cow? Dead told him to make it or break it, which sounds like a sexy double entendre, but it isn't. He chose to "make it" which I guess means they're boyfriend/girlfriend. All I can think is that it means she had sex with her nightgown on like in Forever by Judy Blume. Recapping her own show, LC tells Deadrina that she had coffee with Jason, but nothing happened because they were both sober.
And then, to lighten the mood, she does a completely inappropriate Deadrina impression.
It's time for an award ceremony at Chez Janky! The Monchichi put the toilet seat down for once! He wants an award! Heidi says she'll give him one in a way that makes me feel gross, like the way you feel when you see two drunk people making out in public. He wants to go to work with her because even if he beats his high score again, he's already used the initials TIT and FUK and ASS on all the arcade machines, so it's no fun anymore. Heidi would love to bring him along, but she's afraid Elodie would see and it would make her feel bad she doesn't have the privilege of bringing bratty evil children to the office, too. Heidi should go into voice -over work because when they dub in her voice saying "It's business, not personal" regarding Elodie, it sounds so real.
Over at Teen Vogue, Whitney and other employees are seated in the conference room, tablets open, pens uncapped, ready for anything. I hope Lisa Love comes in, points at someone and yells,"You're fired!" just for kicks. No one can take fashion for eighth graders that seriously. But, unfortunately, the young Hollywood party is coming up, and it is no joke. Lisa assigns Whitney the job of location scout. Since Marc Jacobs is showing his line this year, it's really important to find a place with a VIP area where Marc and his friends can drink Red Bull in private. LC is nowhere in sight, so it looks like she'll be steaming dresses and tracking down hung over models as usual.
Heidi shows she's committed to proving herself in her new position by arriving at Bolthouse after everyone else does. Elodie doesn't respond to her breezy hello. Heidi begins to train her intern assistant. She doesn't take calls from anyone besides Spencer, Brent, and Jen. That's how you build client relationships. Let them know you are more important than they are. Elodie quietly builds a bomb out of paperclips and white out.
Horizontal stripes = danger
Whitney and LC arrive at the Regent Beverly Wilshire to scout it as a possible location for the Young Hollywood party. Whitney is bouncing ideas off the hotel manager while Lauren leans on the wall. As soon as the manager leaves, LC perks up. "Guess who I went to get coffee with yesterday?" Wait, does she recap the coffee date again? Ugh, she does. Why doesn't she call Lo now and tell her, too? We've got all day.

I just loved when Elodie layed the smackdown on that horse-faced hooker! I wish Jason had knocked that flat-faced Monchichi out too. They are the two most odious people I've ever seen. Way to behave in a restaurant. Totally classless. Check out the 4,200 NEGATIVE comments about Heidi's Vegas performance on that fat bitch Perez's site. There is NO love for that chick. NONE at all.

The dubbing was so bad, even I noticed it this time!!! I had to rewind at Speidi's apartment to hear her say "Elodie has to understand, it's just business nothing personal" in that horrible way again.
You are so right about her not knowing what to say to Elodie because "it's just business, nothing personal" didn't fit there. That cracked me up. I also like how after Elodie administered her smackdown, she was like "well i need to finish this, so see you later!" Did she not get the memo that Heidi has an office and assistant and she does not?? Who is Heidi supposed to talk to when it's just personal, and not business? I couldn't believe she said Spencer, Brent and Jen were the only calls taht got put through, and in that order. I guess no one else in the office is worth a shit besides the mighty Bolthouse himself.
Seriously, what does Spencer do all day? I was concerned when he was sitting at the counter before Heidi went to work, instead of at his usual station on the couch with his laptop.

Is it just me or are Heidi and Spencer starting to even look alike? I don't know what kind of make up she wears but she looks like a wax figure. Maybe Spencer created a replica of her like in the Stepford Wives...

Great Recap!
I cannottt believe Heidi have the nerve to talk to Elodie like she didn't screw her over! Pathetic!! I was just cracking up during that whole scene about her stupidity
7 of 37 | Posted by yourlove | Posted on September 19, 2007 1:37 PM
Please, someone get Heidi a brain. She has no friends, no life, nothing. Spencer is her everything. Remember when he dad said she puts all her eggs in one basket. Hello? What's gonna happen when Spencer dumps her on her ass? Well maybe that won't happen either since it looks likes he's done a good job at alienating all his friends too.
Annnd, I like how Heidi tells her assistant to only put through calls from Spencer, Brent and Jen. Again, no friends. Heidi is delusional because even Jen doesn't like her anymore.

Hello,
This is my first time posting since LB1...
Anyway, I love Lauren just as much as the next person, but she tends to contradict herself in a way...
Like when she told Audrina that Justin/Bobby was bad for her, but then she said in another episode that she likes imperfection and in this episode, that she doesn't want a perfect guy... Just an observation.
Also, while I don't agree with Heidi, she brought up a good point. From what I read online, Jason did some pretty shitty stuff to her, and now she's talking to him again. Was Heidi worse than that? JUST ASKING, I still hate Heidi...
AND, didn't she say that Jason never liked Heidi? And that he told her she couldn't be trusted? Blah, blah, blah.... Isn't that kinda what Spencer said to Heidi about Lauren? Not to be friends with Lauren? Why is okay for Jason to "look out" for Lauren, but Spencer is evil for saying the same thing?
I am in no way condoning Speidi at all!! I hate them, they suck, they are the shit of the earth... so someone please help me make sense of this!! It's driving me crazy, but Lauren tends to be all over the place..

I love elodie too!
How about when Heidi got a new phone and told her assistant to move all of her contacts from her old phone to her new phone!! I could not believe it!
10 of 37 | Posted by silentfire | Posted on September 19, 2007 1:50 PM
Nacho Mama: the reason Jason looking out for Lauren not being as bad Spencer: Because Jason didn't flip out and take over her life...he let her make her own decision about Heidi but just spoke his opinion...who knew he had that much maturity.
It's really disgusting that Speidi acted/thought that they were honestly being nice by sending Lauren a Shirley Temple (which for those of you who don't know is non-alcoholic) and Jason a water. They have really created their own universe haven't they?
It was so hilarious how absolutely dumbfounded Heidi looked when Elodie was passive-aggressively rubbing all that shit in her face. She had NO CLUE what to do with herself!
AND Heidi could at least pretend for a few minutes while at work that she actually deserved that promotion. I have never heard of anyone coming in to work after getting a promotion, asking their assistant to do persoanl shit for them and then loudly talking to their boyfriend on the phone so that everyone could hear that she wasn't working. At least close the door and pretend your talking to someone important, good God!
"Elodie quietly builds a bomb out of paperclips and white out."--so funny! I almost wish she would (and that it would actually work).
11 of 37 | Posted by brandee1027 | Posted on September 19, 2007 2:07 PM
Team Elodie all the way.
Its about time Heidi realized she is being a major brainwashed jerk
I have never hated television "characters" so much as i do Speidi! lol. I seriously have to fight the urge to throw things at the tv.
12 of 37 | Posted by lala | Posted on September 19, 2007 9:37 PM
The Speidi segments are so over-dubbed that I don't have any idea what's going on! I know they say that they act for the cameras and that the show is scripted, but no one else has as much voice-overing as those two.
Also, Heidi's face/hair is the color of evaporated milk. Spencer ought to take off the shock-collar and let her go outside to get a tan, homegirl is looking ghostly.
I was very excited to see the return of DON ANTONIO'S!! I bet all the waiters call them terrible things in Spanish and Spence thinks they're charming nicknames.

Hi!
This is my first time posting
But just want to say love reading your recaps, they are hilarious
Heidi and Spencer came out looking like such b*tchazzes on this episode. They were being so obnoxious and mean, and Heidi has nerve to pretend like she was being nice.
I am not ready for next weekes episode, don't want to see the akwardness of jason being engaged, poor lauren.
Plus I think my fav. person on the show is Whitney, she has or atleast shows the least drama and makes the most sense!
14 of 37 | Posted by nyonma | Posted on September 20, 2007 6:44 AM
It appears to me that Heidi and Spencer are OBSESSED with Lauren. Spencer is the one who made a point to make snarky comments to Lauren and Jason in passing, they're the ones who made a point to send sarcastic drink choices to the table, Heidi is the one who made a point to scream "Bye!" at them when they left. Why couldn't they just leave Lauren and Jason alone? What kept needling them to make their presence known to the other two??
And can I just say that Jason is actually impressing me this time around? Amazing what affect sobriety can have on articulation.
15 of 37 | Posted by Mandymax | Posted on September 20, 2007 7:58 AM
hey
Long long time reader of tvgasm. LOVE IT.
I want to shake Elodie's hand. She stunned Heidi into silence. It was hysterical. I don't know if anyone has seen the clip of Heidi singing her new single (its on TMZ), but it is completely and utterly ridiculous. It's a total riot. And the whole time Spencer is in the back acting like pimp-daddy. I just can't get enough of these two idiots.

I wish LC went to Ketchup with Brody.
17 of 37 | Posted by Staars | Posted on September 20, 2007 9:57 AM
I guess we shouldn't be too surprised that after her big promotion, Heidi considers it acceptable to arrive later than everyone else, take advantage of the interns and make personal calls a top priority.
After all, she was promoted by the man who thinks it's OK to open staff meetings by dishing about LC's love life.
18 of 37 | Posted by 2 Old 4 This | Posted on September 20, 2007 11:00 AM
Okay I have already stated my comments about Speidi plenty of times. They are disgusting, especially Heidi. Spencer's just dumb but she's a manipulative, fake, backstabbing bitch. She will gets her soon enough, cause karma's a bitch, just like her. LC and Jason were very mature in the situation, and I have to hand it to both of them for not going over and throwing those drinks in both of their faces.
I also LOVED when Elodie put the verbal smackdown on Heidi. She did it perfectly. Heidi was literally speechless. Hahaha, she is such an idiot.
19 of 37 | Posted by hollabackboy | Posted on September 20, 2007 12:41 PM
Oh and I completely agree with Mandymax, #16.
Heidi and Spencer are SO into this little "feud" with Lauren. Lauren clearly doesn't like either of them, but made it a point to just ignore them. But they were the ones who were instigating 100% of the situation. Neither Jason or Lauren said a word to them the entire time. They didn't have to speak, they could have just stayed away from each other. This proves that Heidi & Spencer are immature and have no real lives.
20 of 37 | Posted by hollabackboy | Posted on September 20, 2007 12:48 PM
I have been reading tvgasm for a year now and finally had to post - I LOVE Elodie for letting Heidi have it. It was so deserved! You could tell in past years that Elodie really didn't care to hear Heidi bitching about her personal life but now she could finally tell her to f**k off.
Oh and Ting, thanks for making the crack about Marc Jacobs and Red Bull, good to know you're up on your fashion gossip!
21 of 37 | Posted by channel flipper | Posted on September 20, 2007 4:27 PM
When Speidi were at dinner, Heidi mentioned that she deserved the promotion b/c she had been there 2 years.
But last week Elodie said the she had been there 2 years. And was like oh you got here right before me? And she's like, yeah ONE YEAR before you. which would mean Heidi has only been there one and is delusional! ick.
Go Elodie! bolthouse sucks, i wish she would have quit, what a joke.

Didn't Spencer's mommy teach him to chew with his mouth closed???

i now hate jauren more than spiede.
24 of 37 | Posted by heehaw | Posted on September 20, 2007 8:06 PM
I need to stop drinking during this show so that I can hear the voice overs/dubbing. I feel like a loser for missing it!
Trivial-I noticed the same thing about Heidi not remembering/admitting how long she's been at the job. The chick loves to exaggerate big time, or she's suffered a head injury at the hands of Spencer, and now has no concept of time...
It was priceless when Elodie told Heidi what she really thought. And the look on Heidi's face, was " Oh crap, I just pissed off one of my two fake friends... Better set up a breakfast with Jen Bunney..."
Ting, loved the remark about Elodie making a bomb out of paperclips and whiteout- destined to be a classic!
In the previews for the next show, they break out the infamous red plastic cups. I'm guessing they aren't full of club soda, so is anyone trying to keep Jason sober????????????????
25 of 37 | Posted by EstelleHairball | Posted on September 20, 2007 8:08 PM
i liked jason better when he was loaded. what a bore.
26 of 37 | Posted by heehaw | Posted on September 21, 2007 4:04 AM
Ting!!!!!!!! I love the recap and photo captions!! This was by far the best ep yet, E-Load-y laying the truth on Heidi and the look on her face was priceless!!! And the dubbing was so obvious on this ep as well as the "ketchup" setup. I was thinking when Spencer was sittin on his computer on the sofa again, "what does he do for a living?" when i remembered he is Heidis manager, thats for real he said that in an interview and if you saw the vidoe of her lip synching her new single at her birthday you know he is going to be rich B*tch, cause that girl has talent and is going places!!! (total sarcasm)

Love the recap, Ting!! So funny.
I loved what Elodie said to Heidi. Someone needed to. BRAVO!! Did anyone see the new Us Weekly? Speidi is quoted in there saying that Lauren was/is obsessed with them and has stalked Heidi's parents. WHAT?!!! What idiots!!! What kind of crap will they think of next?
Talk about sad!!!

“How To Be A Great Boyfriend,” by Spencer Pratt
1.Effectively ruin your girlfriend’s relationships with all of her friends, so she’ll only look to you for support.
2.Have the wall of your living room multi-color graffitied with the word “Hollywood” as a super-sweet surprise.
3.Spend thousands of dollars on useless crap like a fishtank in a big leather case. Girls love useless crap.
4.Manipulate your girlfriend until she can’t tell right from wrong, thus driving away her one remaining friend.
5.Make such an awful first impression on your girlfriend’s parents that they try to talk her out of marrying you.
6.Ditch your best friend because he’s “rolling around with your enemy.”
7.Refuse to tell your parents about your girlfriend, because hiding your girlfriend from them makes her feel loved and appreciated.

Wish i remember where i saw it, but it said that Elodie already left Bolthouse. Also, she is 27! Who knew? BTW, here is a blog that recaps the hills, not nearly as well as Ting or any of our beloved past LB/hills recappers - but the pics are pretty!

35 of 37 | Posted by samxx7 | Posted on September 25, 2007 1:19 AM
samxx7 -
I think the verbal sparring in the comments are down this season because most of us are united our Speidi loathing.
This season has been a drama disappointment.
Ho hum....Speidi are still public embarassments....yup, J-Bahl is still out of the picture....snore, Lauren still works in a closet
Deadeye's "relationship" with Bustin is the only thing that stirs a little controversy but not much
cuz
really -
it's just Bustin
yawn
MORE LISA LOVE!!!

Ok Elodie is pissing me off - jobs are not like boys. You cannot have a crush on a job and expect all your friends to stay away. The business world is not high school. Elodie needs to realize that Heidi might be obnoxious, but she had every right to apply for that job. Its just how corporate America goes.
Second - Heidi was not 'taking advantage'of her assistant by asking her to load her phone. That is what assistants are for. Her phone is a business necessity and therefore not a personal request - it would be different if she asked her to go home and water her plants, feed the dog and pick up the dry cleaning.
Get a clue people. Heidi may have done some rotten things, but she isnt overstepping by tossing her hat in the ring for a promotion. If Brent had thought Elodie was the better candidate for the job, then Elodie would have gotten it.
