This week on The Hills, Brody acts like a girl, the Monchichi acts like a child, and MTV continues to act like we're all total idiots.
Riiiiiiight.
Even though LC has clearly large-barrel curling-ironed her hair and even though she's wearing a dress that shows off her cleavage and even though they are having dinner alone at a place that looks like a Victoria's Secret with couches, she and Brody are not on a date. Even though Frankie texts her a few times and Brody tells her to text back that she's on a date, she's still not on a date. LC tells Brody that she hasn't been on a "real" date in a long time. Then Brody tells her what kind of guy she needs: a guy that who's not "Mr. Perfect all the time" and kind of a "bad boy" whose name is "Brody Jenner." Is there a commode around? I think I know two people who need to use it immediately.
Wanna not have sex in the bathroom?
Over at Rezhouse Productions, Trent holds a staff meeting. "Hey, has anybody heard any good gossip lately?" He surveys the room. "Uh, okay, I'll start then. I saw on the news last night that Spencer tried to fend off the Malibu fires with a garden hose." No one responds because they all saw the clip, too, so it's not really gossip. Nice try, Trent. There's a big Nascar event coming up and Heidi's assigned to it, as well as the new Event Coordinator, Kimberly. Trent tells Heidi to keep an eye on her. Heidi does eye her, taking in the fact that Kimberly does not dye her hair. Heidi tries to make nice and asks Kimberly (who just moved to LA from New York) if things have been a "worldwind." "No," says Kimberly, "because that's not a word." Of course Spencer would forget to program a dictionary reference in Heidi's new robot brain. "Besides, I'm from New York, so I don't overwhelm easily. I am not the new Elodie. I am KIMBERLY!"
Watch your back, bitch.
Whitney and LC get to run a male model casting call today! YAY for all of us! Lauren checks in a model dude who remembers her from another shoot. His name is Gavin, and he's great looking for a guy skateboarding in a mall in Indiana, but he's just okay looking for a model in LA. Apparently, LC had tried to set Gavin up with Heidi all those moons ago, in an attempt to distract her from the Monchichi. They all giggle about that. Whitney takes Gavin inside to meet the casting directors. After he's done, Whitney marches right out to the front table where LC is sitting to give her read. "He was funny," she announces. LC cringes, then points and mouths that he's still in the changing area and can probably hear her. Both girls silently laugh and take deep breaths. Gavin approaches the table and asks LC out. Then he asks her if he can "grab" her number which is another LA-ism that sucks the graciousness out of life. OMGEEEE! Whitney crosses her arms and gives Lauren her "ooh-la-la" face, but she's not having it. "Don't," she warns repeatedly, but she can't hide a little imp of a smile.
Over at Chez Janky this week, we get to watch Heidi put on mascara. Next week, fingers crossed for lip liner! The Monchichi, who now has so much blonde hair on his face and head that he resembles an Easter chick you accidentally smother to death, asks her what she's doing. She's going to work, she yells from the bathroom. The Monchichi is angry. He's made dinner plans to make up for that other time she had to--what's the word? Oh, yeah, WORK. Heidi knows she's in for it, so she prepares an appeasing speech that she tries on him when she comes out of the bathroom. It doesn't work, of course. The Monchichi suddenly seems like a lonely, spoiled child who has wearied all of his playmates and now his mummy has to go to work! Mummy! Don't go to work! The Monchichi needs someone to play with! There's nothing sexy about a boyfriend who doesn't work and wants to spend all his time with you. Nothing. The master is losing his grip, and Heidi ventures an insult, "I'm going to work, why don't you try it?" Crazy baby monchichi says "So that's how it is,huh?" as Heidi leaves. Then he pulls out some paper and crayons and starts designing a net that will drop from the ceiling to capture Heidi the next time she tries to leave without permission.
You've got chick on your face.

Oh, holy hell, Spencer! Take some freakin' Midol already! I thought he could never top his diatribe in front of Heidi's parents...well, maybe he still hasn't. But, damn, he was close this time. I like how Heidi is firing back at him, though.
I guess I missed the snarky comment by Kimberly at the Nascar event. Or was that fantasy? I can't believe I would let it slip by.

HAHAHAHAHA...nice.

Spencer is so ridiculous. When they showed the promo about "The Virtual Hills" during this episode, my boyfriend (who is strong armed into watching this show b/c we live in a 1 BR NYC apt w/ 1 TV) said "I would like to enter the virtual Hills, but only so that I can virtually beat up Spencer."

Spencer, I mean, "heehaw" should you get back to work? Oh, right, you don't have a job...
PS: lame rapping over Heidi's demo doesn't count as a job chia pet face

...Psshhh this show used to be SO good what happened!
MTV really does think we're stupid... are we honestly supposed to take Lauren and Brody seriously? They keep playing the dramatic and sappy music the same way they did for LC, Stephen, and Kristen back in LB1. But at least we could legitimately believe those three had serious feelings or entanglements. Lauren and Brody? Come on!
7 of 51 | Posted by shia0bundan | Posted on October 24, 2007 6:26 PM
First of all, it's Bunns, not Bunts. Jen Bunney = Bunns
Also, The Hills has gone from bad to worse. The Heidi/Spencer plot is so contrived it's not even worth watching. And, while we as the viewers know that the whole show is sort of fake, could MTV get any worse with the editing? At least paint Lauren's f'ing nails red again.
Entirely disappointed. With the show. Not the recaps. Recaps keep me watching these days.
8 of 51 | Posted by cor782 | Posted on October 24, 2007 7:39 PM
Hey you guys. I know they called her Bunns. Bunts is funnier.

Hey, tinglee. We know you were trying to be funny. We just don't get it.
Just kidding... Hahaha... LOL... Gr8 recap, hun.

Anyone else notice that Heidi has developed a habit of squinting or narrowing her eyes in an attempt to look pensive/intelligent/intimidating? She did it to Brent when he was telling her she needed to step it up with her job, she did it to Jen Bunny when Jen was telling her that Brody said Spencer and Heidi were behind the rumors . . . it's rather laughable.
11 of 51 | Posted by Mandymax | Posted on October 25, 2007 5:54 AM
And Texasgal75 - I didn't catch the "I'm staying till three" conversation, either . . . It's getting more difficult to tell what's made up and what actually happened when I read these recaps.
12 of 51 | Posted by Mandymax | Posted on October 25, 2007 6:20 AM
Did anyone else notice how Heidi was pleading with Spencer to not be mad...she kept saying it over and over like she was going to get in trouble. I also hate how they are trying to make us think Brody and Lauren like each other when we see in magazines that she is clearly not dating him...lame.
13 of 51 | Posted by RLR123 | Posted on October 25, 2007 6:49 AM
The 3:00 am conversation did actually happen. Kimberly said that she was going to stay until 3 bc people needed to check in their radios and Heidi was like 3?!??!?! She was supposed to have plans with spencer and she knew he'd be mad...again...I really think he just does it for the show...at least I hope he does
14 of 51 | Posted by yankeesfan | Posted on October 25, 2007 6:56 AM
Ah - I remember the radio-check-in comments. I missed the time check, apparently.

Ting Lee!!!! Great recap!! Whee to even begin??? I was so happy you caught the "worldwind" comment i thought i would be the only one, i think spencers baby acting upset over heidi working is a trick.......its supposed to make us all think heidi is working sooooo hard. I mean come on she checks a F$%^& list big deal!And great reference to keeping up with the (ass)kardashians:)
16 of 51 | Posted by lloyd dobbler | Posted on October 25, 2007 7:59 AM
Heidi was supposed to be in charge of the event and she didn't know when it would be over??
I think all of Spencer and Heidi's scenes together are totally scripted. And very badly acted.
17 of 51 | Posted by murphena | Posted on October 25, 2007 8:36 AM
Insulting Spencer by calling him a girl is insulting to girls, and just as icky as he is.
18 of 51 | Posted by Jamie | Posted on October 25, 2007 8:37 AM
I nearly fell off my couch when Heidi asked if things had been a worldwin. It almost makes up for the ridiculously shoddy editing (key word being almost)! What an idiot.
19 of 51 | Posted by pachita | Posted on October 25, 2007 9:52 AM
CheeZee, nice to hear from you!
I'm starting to crush on Brody. Made up romance or not, I'm really starting to like the "new and improved" Mr. Jenner.
What DOES the Monchichi do for a living? I mean, he used to "represent" Brody and Heidi but since he broke things off with Brody and Heidi's only "career" seems to include a clipboard lately..what is it that he does to bring in the $$?
20 of 51 | Posted by uglycutie | Posted on October 25, 2007 12:10 PM
There's an interesting interview that Gavin did on best week ever.com. Just search google for:
reality-victims-unit-meet-gavin-my-friend-who-went-on-a-date-with-lc-from-the-hills
I see LC alot differently now....and kind of makes me upset about the show. But i'll still watch it.
Sorry to those who believed everything we were watching was real.

If I EVER showed up at my boyfriend's work demanding he come out and play, and then trying to lay a guilt trip on him for not being able to leave a meeting, I'm sorry, but he should have permission to punch me in the face.

I absolutely know that this topic is beating a dead horse, but I am so sick of the editing! It's really insulting to the viewers. If Lauren doesn't really have anything tv-worthy going on in her life, then maybe she shouldn't have a show... there's a thought.
24 of 51 | Posted by mo knows | Posted on October 25, 2007 1:27 PM
@Ting Lee--Actually Bunts instead of Bunns is not funny at all. But since its your recap, do you and I'll just continue to roll my eyes every time i see it.

jozeyg - i also saw that interview on best week ever. it made me really annoyed too...i mean i knew the producers kinda swayed what happened but i guess i was trying to be naive and didn't think it was to that extent...makes me like lauren less too. i liked the show so much better when it was a "reality" show...now its just a soap opera...
27 of 51 | Posted by yankeesfan | Posted on October 25, 2007 2:26 PM
yankees fan -- yeah it doesn't make sense that the producers tell everyone what to say and how to act...and also to stage a set. If they were going to do that, then why call it a reality show? Just start having scripts and sets and call it what it really is, just a scripted tv soap opera.
Setting up dates for people and have them pretend they like each other?? c'mon now. I don't think everyone would have that much of a problem with it if they stopped saying that everything is 'real'. Just admit that everything is staged.
We all enjoy fake drama-ful soap operas. MTV, stop trying to pull one over on us.
28 of 51 | Posted by jozeyg | Posted on October 25, 2007 2:47 PM
yankeesfan, i agree about the whole "soap opera" thing..
seriously, if i wanted that id be watching cbs daytime..
frankly, im also sick of lauren. shes obviously not the "good girl" they make her out to be.
o and tinglee...fab recap. its pretty much the only thing left tying me to this "reality" show.
29 of 51 | Posted by gasmgirl | Posted on October 25, 2007 4:04 PM
@BigBrwnEyez...I think "Bunts" is funny.
You know what else is funny? The people who post their comment more than once.
Great recap, Ting. I look forward to it every week. xo

Go to bestweekever.tv and search for Gavin's testimony about what actually happens on Lauren's date... I would post the URL, but I got an error message and apparently I can't!
It's actually quite funny.
31 of 51 | Posted by cor782 | Posted on October 25, 2007 7:31 PM
I read the interview with Gavin on Best Week Ever but all this has me so paranoid about who's lying to me that now I'm beginning to think that Gavin has an agenda. He IS a model in LA who agreed to ask some girl for her number to be on a show. Then he was upset that he came off (or was edited to appear as) lame and boring. Now he readily agrees to an interview that is all over the internet...and now I know this dude when all he was before was some not-all-that-attractive model guy from The Hills? Something's fishy. Where was this so-called Gavin when Kennedy was shot?
32 of 51 | Posted by uglycutie | Posted on October 25, 2007 10:47 PM
My heart is officially broken. I was on TMZ and they caught Speidi at LAX where the Monchichi was dropping off Heidi....THEN...a few minutes later (and a wardrobe change according to TMZ) there they were again, only this time the Monchichi was picking her up!
My life is soooo boring that I am so upset about this. Now I'm gonna have to find some other form of entertainment. I guess I could start peeping into my neighbors windows. But then I have to buy dark clothes and evade police and that would just take up too much energy for a couch potato like myself.
Damn you MTV! If you're going to fool me then you should have done a better job. But in MTV's defense this show was probably targeted to someone born in the early 90s not the 1970s.
33 of 51 | Posted by uglycutie | Posted on October 26, 2007 12:52 AM
Ting, you're the Best!!! I swear, I can't wait to read this every week.
The Monchichi thing alone is worth the read.
Spencer is getting boring, don't you think? And Heidi...oy vey..what a dumb barbie. Although, to her credit, she's not as much of a poser as Justin Bobby - but a close second..

1. Bunts is not funny. Not even in baseball.
2. Gavin is, IMO, telling the truth. There is just too much evidence from too many sources about the vast expanses of Hills fakeosity.
I'm sure Laguna Beach probably started out with, you know, a little manipulation here & there --a little playing with the time line; "events" set up by the producers, etc., but now they've gotten completely out of hand. They are fabricating apartments, they are fabricating jobs, they are fabricating boyfriends (apparently the producers "encouraged" Audrina to get back with Justin-Bobby). What next? The mind boggles.
It's annoying, but I guess we just have to view this as a fictional piece of semi-enjoyable fluff - with just a dash of reality mixed in.
3. Cheezee without the hyphens: what is your deal, dude? why don't you post under your own persona?
36 of 51 | Posted by Lime23 | Posted on October 26, 2007 11:51 AM
I am so sick of Speidi they are so lame!! Everytime they show them its like cutting to a commercial and Im ready to change the channel...But on behalf of Brody..he is the greatest and if LC doesnt want him shes stupid so as I always say, "cut the crap and stop acting stupid Lauren for you end up old and lonely!"
37 of 51 | Posted by teambrody | Posted on October 26, 2007 1:00 PM
I am just waiting for LC to go "Time out" and then start walking closer to the camera as the Toothy mcDouche is free framed in the middle of felatio on Brody. Can this crap get anymore fake? I guess Wh-Wh-Whitney will be addicted to caffeine pills as LC Heidi and her form Hot Sundae as and Spencer is the manger. Wait, that already kind of happened. Basically, MTV is subjecting us to glossy versions of Saved by the Bell. Dump this box of pigcrap.

Hey you guys. I know they called her Bunns. Bunts is funnier.
It's really not. At all.
RLR123: "I also hate how they are trying to make us think Brody and Lauren like each other when we see in magazines that she is clearly not dating him...lame."
Yep, the difference between first season of Laguna Beach and this season of The Hills is that these kids are too popular. They're being covered in mags so we see can see what's fake and what's not. Especially since they're filming, editing, and airing almost in real time.
Jamie:

Agreed. But any person, group, or inanimate object Ting compares Spencer to will get offended. So maybe whiny, pissy baby because babies can't tell us their offended by the comparison. :)
"Damn you MTV! If you're going to fool me then you should have done a better job. But in MTV's defense this show was probably targeted to someone born in the early 90s not the 1970s."
Basically. That's why I watch vh1 to fulfill all my celebrity reality cravings. The Salt & Pepa show is based on REAL drama. Sometimes real is better.

Ok, I 've been meaning to post this one for awhile (was inspired to by uglycuite's lament over the staged LAX scene we are hearing about). In the pre-season show or whatever it was called ("Dear the Hills" or something like that), a fan asked if he should go to Europe for the year or stay with his girlfriend, and Whitney remarked that she had "never been abroad," and he should do it. Um, Whitney has never been abroad? Never, uh, gone to Paris? Something tells me this is not the first staged airport scene The Hills has ever done.
42 of 51 | Posted by coco q. puff | Posted on October 28, 2007 6:04 PM
^^ back when b-side was the recapper, he found out the whole paris debacle was fake. So fake lauren didn't even have the offer to even go to paris.

Chee-Z-Meningitis-hyphen-boy,
What you are battling the big M? Why I haven't heard this before. i suggest you re-post this information as well as someone slandering your name on the message boards of tvgasm. Seriously, who cares about your battle with something you probably picked up at a Kamikaze party at the TKE house.
TVGasm-can we have a new column where this asshat can post a live diary of his battle with this evil Meningitis and his struggles with someone using the same moniker as him (it can be called "A Million Little-hyphenated Pieces.")But if we channel the little Nancy Drew in all of us, then we can tell who the real cockmouth is by the artistic use of hyphens.
