Stephanie doesn't seem too worried about it, asking, "How would she find out?" Then Blahdrina twitches and squints her eyes, as if pondering the best way to say, "You do know we're famous, right?" or even, "You do know that we're catty bitches, right?"
At Bolthouse, Heidi's spending the day dressed up like Stevie Nicks and trots over to Kimberly's desk to show off her hair extensions and old-lady flowy shirt. They chat about an upcoming event and Heidi says she's going to drag along her old ball 'n' chain. Kimmy, having pulled a mini-Britney comeback and looking much fresher tonight, suggests that Heidi and Spence have fun together. Hmm. "I know!" Heidi says, as though the thought never occurred to her to have a good time with her significant other. On the other hand, I guess each day free from the bonds of a marriage to Spencer is a good one.
Channeling Gladriel
Heidi mentions they'll be going out that night too. "We can stay in when we're old," she surmises. Yeah, or when your fame runs out and you have no more money for coke 'n' collagen. "Yeah, I'm not into the whole staying-in thing," Kimmy says. "AT ALL." Yeah, we know, we saw the unfortunate evidence of that last week.
Unlikely Duo Of The Week Blahdrina and Lo are lunching at Fred Segal and studying hard for their future lives as trophy wives with nothing better to do. They chat awkwardly about silverware and their shared sensation of thirst. As far as I can gather, between the two of them there are two forks, two knives and only one thing in common, and that thing isn't even Stateside right now. Our girls rock two looks tonight: Lo in her Nicole Richie best, and Blahdrina donning her aviating-biker-whore... best.
"All I have to do is have a baby, then everyone will be GLAD I'm losing weight."
"Agreed."
They discuss the Pigpen situation and Lo commands that, at this age, Blahdrina must make decisions for herself. Blahdrina agrees to do whatever Lo just said she should do. After a few long seconds of silence, Lo nervously sings nothingness: "La, la la..." Hahaha, okay maybe these two really aren't meant to be friends. Perhaps to ease the tension, Blahdrina suggests they go to Goa that night. I smell a confrontation!
Then Blahdrina gasps and says she must tell Lo about Stephanie and Duhg. Ahhhh, so THIS is what she meant when she was twitching and trying not to say what she really meant. What she really meant was, "I WILL TELL. ME. I WILL TELL. TOO BAD YOU JUST TOLD ME." Lo practically jumps out of her seat with the most appropriate reaction we've ever seen on this show. Kudos to that. She is shocked, SHOCKED that Duhg would think to pull something like this with his pretty, blank little head. "I just don't know why you'd want sloppy seconds," Blahdrina says disgustedly. My question is, who's the sloppy one in that duo? It's not the seconds, I'll tell ya that.
"Allow me to cup your chin, my sweet."
At Goa-rhymes-with-boa, the ladies take their rightful places in the seat LC would usually occupy as Spencer and Heidi roll in. Oh golly, what a fucking surprise! I roll my eyes as I usually do around this time on Monday nights as the quartet perform their weekly "Oh dear, should I talk to them? I simply cannot believe they're here!" routine. The blonde lovers approach and as Heidi and Blah embrace, Heidi grabs the back of Blah's head as though she is about to A) make out with her, B) push her head down into her crotch or C) slam her head into the table with one deft blow. Unfortunately, none of the above is accomplished and instead, they just talk about how crazy it is to run into each other like this. Yeah, totally rando!
Heidi and Blahdrina reminisce about the good ole days and gush about how much fun they used to have as underage starlets. Funny how Spencer just shuts up once his archenemy isn't around, huh? Lo looks bored and pissed, gazing at her drink like it's her only friend. Blahdrina tells Heidi about the whole Stephanie/Duhg situation and I shake my head like an old church lady hearing tales of sin. Mental note: never tell Blahdrina ANYTHING.
Haha, yeah, Heidi, that's cute of you. She expresses surprise at the fact that Steph would do that with LC's "high school sweetheart," which is also funny because it makes me wonder what Colletti and Wahler would say to that. "I just... I would NOT do that," Heidi scoffs. Apparently there are unforeseen limits to Heidi's backstabbing. Who knew?

I loved it!! Great job O.Snapp!
This episode was actual more chock full of activity - unlike other episodes. Or maybe it was just chock full of Blahdrina retelling the same story to whoever would listen.
Did anyone else think it was odd that we never found out who Lauren went to Italy with?! All of her friends stayed behind! Surely it wasn't work-related or Whitney would have gone. Would her friend have agreed to come back 2 days early?! Weird!

I think I read many moons ago that she went with her family. This still does not explain the early return.
Also, did you guys notice that the picture in Heidi's camera looks nothing like what's in front of the lens? Weeeeiiiirddd.

Even the word "Jesus" sounds fake in Heidi's mouth.

hahhaaa!
great recap O.snapp!
think italy was a "family vacay" but doubt she ever left LA at all...
and who really cares about doug anyway? why does lauren care? didn't she break it off with him? doubt highly he would ever even look at steph, but in this scenario he gets more screen time, more drama. and lay off the gloss doug, gross...
heard that brody's mom linda was the one dating elvis when he died...though its hard to tell who she is with all the surgeries. (scary! catwoman?)
recaps are consistently better than the show. explain to me why i am still watching...?!

Fabulous JOB, O.Snapp! I swear, the way you described this episode... it was actually kind of interesting (in a way that actually watching this dreck is not). Thank you for taking yet another MTV bullet for the rest of us!
love, J-Mo :)
P.S. I hear ya about the fuckability of Italians... and don't get me started on the Portuguesos, either, ay!

Ah, so THAT is how you spell neener! I have always wondered, because na na na na boo boo just looks stupid. Erm, so does neener. Scratch that.
Great recap!
Good to hear about Italy - I am heading over there (by myself, no less) next April for 2 months. I'm currently single...

I stopped watching The Hills after Heidi's old co-worker at Bolt (I can't remember her name, but she said she'd work for Heidi when in reality she had quit the company) gave her the old what-for. That was awesome. After that, I just couldn't take it anymore.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates Lo. I hated her even when she was just on the show once a year, for pete's sakes!
Add me to the list of people who say, "I don't watch the show, but I enjoy the recaps." This, my friend, is a phrase I have become all too familiar with (just read any comments of Million Dollar Listing). Kudos to you!

Elodie! That's her name.

O. Snapp,
NO!! I didn't even notice that about the camera! I was going to take a look at it when I was reading the recap, but I just got lost in reading the recap and forgot! That IS strange!!

Painful episode, awesome recap.
Given Stephanie's history of substance abuse, it would make sense for Spencer to have the same problem...maybe that's why he behaves so erratically. And why he bugged out when Heidi's sister stayed with them....where was he going to use?? He does have a lot of behaviors and attitudes that point to drug abuse.
Just saying!

ok O.snapp
i thought the screen cap where heidi took the pic of her and spencer looked weird at first too, until i noticed that it actually WAS a pic of them, only she's holding the camera at a weird angle and that it mostly shows him and not her...
he is dead center and she is cut off at the side of the pic, check it out again and you'll see.
of course the only camera that heidi would actually pose for would be MTVs (or maybe the US weekly paps) so the digital pic she was taking really doesn't matter anyway...

Also, LOL at the "crazy bitch" picture.
If I'm not mistaken, that is Svetlana Khorkina, the former Russian queen of gymnastics who retired after Athens.
But lol anyway.

Lo must have been really thirsty; she had THREE drinks with her when she and Blah had lunch.

"Perhaps he, Bro, Wahler, Coletti and that French dude all get together for poker Mondays while they sit around, drink beer and talk about LC's well-advertised lady parts."
THAT was just WRONG!!! Funnny as hell, but WRONG!!!!
