They wrap up the convo with some Pigpen talk, then Heidi invites the two of them out to Bolthouse's upcoming X-Games party. Blahdrina happily accepts, while Lo chokes on her Jack and ginger, unable to defend herself against the planning of an unholy friendship union.
"I did NOT agree to this."
Hey guys, remember that Spencer exists? I know, it's kind of a bummer, but we must acknowledge him because he's front and center on camera, covering up his Propecia-laden scalp with a hideous hat. He sort of reminds me of Dr. Claw from "Inspector Gadget."
"Hehehehh... Excellent. All is going according to my evil plan."
All he needs is a pretty little pussycat. Stephanie lets herself in without knocking, which we know Spencer just LOVES. She asks if he's talking to Heidi (who else would he talk to?), to which he simply glares at her and makes a remark to Heidi about the wind bringing something in. Huh. Is he ever nice to ANYONE? I ponder what keeps Heidi with him and remember that I used to date someone who told me that, since I hate pretty much everyone, he felt flattered that he was one of the few people in the world I actually liked. Perhaps Heidi has the same syndrome. Does this mean I'm an emotionally abusive dickhole?
"Probably."
Stephanie explains the Duhg situation to him, and Spencer gleans no small amount of delight from this predicament. What could make him happier than LC's eternal misery? He brings up the same singular good point that Heidi made as well, which is that there are millions of handsome, strong, well-cocked, empty-headed men in Los Angeles. She didn't have to go out with Lauren's H, S, W-C, E-H man. Spencer spouts off about LC cutting her out of her precious social circle, but before he said the words "cut out," I kind of thought his gestures might lead to the international sign language for cunnilingus.
"Tasty!"
Stephanie IS a little perturbed, and has that worried, introspective look down almost as well as LC.
Also, she kind of looks like an aging member of Heart.
At the X-Games soiree, Blah arrives with Pigpen on her arm, who is apparently testing out his Halloween costume as '90s grungester-cum-dickhead in a fetching plaid shirt and his usual scruff. Meanwhile, Spencer and Heidi look the least like skaters they possibly can.
Sometimes you need to be your own paparazzi.
As Pigpen and his cleaning lady sit down beside them, Spencer compliments Pigpen on his atrocious "HOOLIGANS" logo puff-painted onto the flipped bill of his hat, then launches into some awkward, meaningless chitchat about the new "Batman" movie. Crickets all around (I mean, under the sound of a thousand tattooed hotties partying). Spencer nods to himself enthusiastically and something occurs to me. Mayhaps Spencer's been friend-lonely too?
Heidi: "My boyfriend's such a moron."
Blahdrina continues her pattern of drama-spurring under the pressure of silence by bringing up the Duhg thing again. Much of her gossiping is with non-committal "I don't know"s, as if that made it any better. Really, if you don't know what you're talking about, perhaps you should shut the hell up.
Heidi: "So does Lauren trust Stephanie now?" Blahdrina: "(gossipy nod)!"
"Gasp! What a deliciously evil turn of events!"
Heidi actually praises Jesus (using those exact words! ha!) for not being involved in the drama. I always find it hilarious when supposedly super-Christian people take the Lord's name in vain while doing something un-Godlike, like gossiping. No, Heidi, please don't waste Jesus' time by praising him for not involving you in petty drama. That's not what he's there for.
He's there to rock you SEXY.
Meanwhile, all of Los Angeles is trying to figure out whether this is a DATE date, or just a date. On one hand, Duhg didn't pick Stephanie up. On the other hand, they're meeting at a restaurant called Beso, which is Spanish for kiss. In any case, Steph's wearing a titty shirt that desperately needs a belt, and that's not cool, DATE date or just date.
Thinks he's on a date with Brody.
Duhg mumbles that she looks pretty and I wonder if he might crush her like a bunny in the hands of a lowly migrant ranch worker. They talk about how good of friends he is with Broday, and I begin to suspect there must be an Ex-BFs Of Lauren Conrad Club or something. 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.

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.
XO-snapp

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!!!!
