This show is nothing without Lisa Love. I like your slant: that Lauren is too smart to have her life be televised anymore. If any of my relationships from my early twenties were taped there'd be fifteen minutes of usable date footage (fifteen before we got all janky), and 48 hours of footage of me talking about the date and desperately waiting and waiting for the next phone call. She's going to die when she's 27 and looks back on this shiznat.

Let's play a game!(sorry if this posts 2x)

Post your UN-popular Opinions.

This has been fun on other boards. Just let loose your sincere opinions you know most people don't agree with.

Here are some of mine:

1) She-Pratt is actually pretty. Besides the shape of her face she does not look like Spencer. Oh, and her skin isn't shiny. Is that a joke of some sort on here?

2) Spencer and Heidi like each other and have a pretty normal relationship with arguments, different interests and desires, and ultimate make ups and good times.

3) Lauren is not that interesting to watch on television.

4)Brody told Spencer about the beef curtains. Guys talk about sex in a vulgar way. Not just girls gossip.

5)Girls pick boys over their friends. Girls pick boys over careers. Girls pick boys over college. Girls pick boys over their families ALL THE TIME. Heidi is not really abnormal, just a typical girl. Actually...Lauren picked Jason over Paris. I guess they are both typical.

That's all I can think of. POST YOUR UNPOPULAR OPINIONS!!!!

This episode seemed extremely short. And boring. Oh well.

I saw the aftershow. Poor 'Britney Canada Whore'. She called in and I felt bad for her. Its not that surprising really. Brody is a famous "good looking" guy who probably has women throwing themselves at him all the time. He's also 23? 24? so its not like he's going to settle down anytime soon. Lauren needs to forget about him. She can be his friend, but romantically she should just forget about him altogether. That Canada Britney was still waiting for his call. Typical young guy. Collect #'s, sleep around... nothing much more going on there.

i thought this recap was missing some of the funnier parts of the episode..esp the part when lauren was comparing corey to jb she said she mentioned how he actually bathes! i thought this episode was one of the best and funniest of the season. i can't believe i'm actually saying it, but i actually agree with spencer in this situation (not that I believe for a second that this wasn't totally planned) but heidi should be talking to him about their issues, not his sister...i wouldve told spencer if i were his sister too. and for heidi to say that she has sacrificed so much, blah blah blah...i wouldve been mad if i were spencer too! although his mocking voice honestly reminds me of chucky or something...

how do u know it was actually britney canada whore who called up? did they get her phone # off of brody's phone?

Anyone else think that Heidi and the She Pratt have the same mannerisms when they talk to someone? I love The Hills and I'll watch til the end but it is getting a little boring. I long for the days of Laguna Beach love triangle with Kristin and Steven.

Great job Ting! I was laughing out loud this time. The photo captions were great, and I also liked the "but we're not comparing him to anyone".

Lauren has so many positive things going on in her real life, that she doesn't need Brody for anything. When the show is over she'll happen upon Mr Right, and it will be "romantical". (What college acutally accepted Lo?)

I'm thinking the She-Pratt jumped in a vat of powder to absorb all of her slime. She must have gotten that tip from Heidi.

The funniest part of the whole episode was when Audrina came out in that hat and Lauren was like, "I like your hat." Um, LIAR. LC, you'd never be caught dead in that thing. I actaully laughed out loud at how blatant her lie was.

Lo was going to ucsb a while ago.... I ran into her at the market and ended up in line behind her. apparently she thought she was soo famous that everybody standing in line for their groceries was there to see her. She took a magazine and kept trying to cover her face and continued rolling her eyes like she was the most amazing thing to hit that ralphs. Honey, please, get over yourself. you're a sidekick. and the only thing drawing me closer to you was the cashier waiting to ring up my purchases.

Okay, I read on Wikipedia that after the first season of The Hills the whole Paris thing was fake, she was never offered the job they just did it for TV ratings...Is that not right?

My opinions that I think will be unpopular ( in response to AsIf's post )

1. I actually thought the blue hat looked cute on Audrina. It made her eyes look a pretty olive color and looks nice against her dark hair.

2. I don't think She Pratt is exactly ugly, I just think she looks a little drag queen-ish. She resembles Amanda Bynes a little bit.

3. Lauren seems to have a weird sense of entitlement. I don't know why I think this, it's just the impression I get. I have nothing to back it up.

I might come up with more and post them later.

Unpopular opinions:
1. Spencer makes for great TV and the show became way more interesting because of him.
2. Australia Boy's lip ring is hot!
I really liked this recap, one of the best. But I was disappointed that one of your stills wasn't Lauren asking Audrina about the kiss because she got this manic psycho look on her. As Lo said, major loserface.
If they do the Lauren Brody thing ONE MORE TIME I'm going to axe the TV. Lauren has discussed this with Frankie, Jenn, Whitney at least 5000 times,Lo, Audrina...who next, her cat? Wait, already did. The entire point of putting someone on a reality show is that they have a more interesting life than 95% of us.
The only thing semi-authentic appeared to be Heidi and Spencer's fight. It was one of the rawest moments on the Hills, if ANYTHING is capable of being raw on the Hills. But in a previous episode where Spencer said, "Get out of my car" he ended up hopping right back in after filming...so he probably walked right back in after they said "Cut."

She Pratt is a cross between Amanda Bynes and Evan Rachel Wood.

Ting,

Hi-larious recap. Seriousley. the screencaps were some luagh out loud funny ( I like teh Don A's one teh best.)
And I agree with your sentiments about LC dressing nice and Brody lookijg like the King Adrock Def Jam years. I dress like a surf bum most of teh time, but even Iknow that when I am goign out with my girlfriend that flannel and flip-flops are not acceptable (unless it is In& out or a Cali Burrito.) Ithink it is a deffintae SoCal thing, because down here in San Diego all the dudes look like crap and all te owmen are dressed to the nines, sometime sit is hard t tell who is homeless and who's not.
Deadrina's hat sucked. nuff said.

Random Re: Audrina's Halloween Costume...
I just immediately assumed she was Madonna circa "Like a Virgin."

Can't stand Lo. She's one of those girls everyone seems to loove but is truly quite annoying and overrated.

Thank you for the unpopular opinions! It's way more entertaining!

I think I would get extremely annoyed around Lo. I don't know how Lauren can stand it. It seems like Lauren is picky with the people she associates with, so it's weird she would pick Lo.

Good job on the recap ting!! I'm going to miss watching this show and reading the recaps! Hopefully there's another season. I thought this season was just as interesting if not more. If only it were not scripted or whatever.

Scorpio23 I do not agree with your sentiment that the only genuine thing on the show was the argument between Heidi and Spencer.

I thought that was the most calculated, plot hiccup of the show. They have been planning this all season. We've been waiting for Heidi to get mad and although she is not a good actress, Spencer is so awful to her, she looked genuinely angry.

I actually felt a little let down, they planned this for months and all Heidi thought to say is that Spencer is pushy. Geez if I had been treated like a prisoner of war by the Monchichi, you can bet I would have more ammunition than, you made me move in with you, etc.

I would have a much better list of things including, no friends at all, no power in the relationship, no privacy, and he doesn't work. Not to mention the fact that he has no respect for Heidi.

I would have Spencer's stuff all packed like she did with her last boyfriend and hired a delivery person to bring them to his Mom's house. Then I would have changed the locks and either sublet the place or sell it depending on whether they were renting or not.

I would change my phone numbers, told my assistent at work to say I'm not available ever and ask that he not be allowed in the place of work.

That is how you get rid of a boyfriend.

Oh and then I would have returned the ring to Claire's.

I agree with most everything everyone has said in their posts. Something about Lauren this season just makes me not like her. It's her new found "fame". If only US Weekly and E! would stop showing her... As for Lo, I too am irritated by her now, and I think it's because she gives off this vibe that she does things like the poster who said they ran into her at Ralphs. Sorry Lo, you're not famous by any stretch, but it's always fun to ride the coattails of someone with more "fame" than you(Lauren).

You forgot to mention the look of absolutely dejection on Lauren's face when Brody left. It was the same face she made on LB when Kristin got Stephen's attention at the little everyone is back from college party. She turned back into LC, the girl who was just never quite good enough. I think that's why I don't like her much now. Obviously she got her own show where she was able to be the star and finally get out of the shadow of Kristin, so it's gone to her head a little bit. I think that's where her sense of entitlement comes from. Whatever, it's all good tv to me. Oh and I loved Brody's outfit for his "date" with Lauren. If only he had just the top button of his shirt buttoned with his pants pulled up around his belly button...

And Aussie Corey is HOT and I think the lip ring makes him even hotter. Of course, he generally fits the bill of guys I'm attracted to. I got a very pro athlete of the surf variety from him.

Lauren is the most real thing about this show. Her emotions and reactions ring true. She may be the only person not playing a character.

I found her very charming this episode. Setting aside her dissappointment to be happy for Audrina was a nice moment.

i agree with most of the comments but i hate when people say that LC is not real. i don't think she's stuck up...i think she's just really picky about who she associates with. and thats not bad... also, she jus happens to act a lil mature than most ppl...she obviously likes Brody and thats y she feels bummed out when hes running around with all of california.

people also have to realize that LC is only 21, and I think she makes the best judgements she possibly can...and i do know that she can be a lil judgemental, but i think its b/c she's been treated so badly that she doesn't want her friends to go thru that ...but she was happy for Audrina and Corey...

Corey is hot, btw... lip ring and all..but we know that Audrina doesn't stay with him cuz she was hanging out with soome model dude like last week.

Whitney's comments r HIGHLARIOUS!

"New facialist? I know someone who could use a referral."...ROFL...i actuallly spit out my coffee

love ur recaps ting!

For anybody out there wondering, Aussie Corey is a pro freestyle BMX rider. His name is Corey Bohan, you can check his profile at on myspace or at redbullusa.com

He is a well known name among people familiar with action sports. He's won several X Games medals and is sponsored by some of the biggest companies in the industry.

1. The drama of the finale previews sort of loses its appeal, since these girls are in the tabloids every day, and we know exactly what's going on with them. Heidi and Spencer clearly don't break up, since they are still being shown frolicking around together in Arian glee everyday on TMZ. No fake fights for our benefit, please. And Lauren and Brody have both been quoted many times recently saying that they are just friends, and have been for a long time, so I suspect that that story line is bullshit.
Enough of these contrived story lines!! I know that I would rather watch a show about what their lives have REALLY become--paps chasing them, the people they actually hang out with, their clothing lines and other endeavors, and just their day-to-day lives. Who's with me?

Did anybody else think Lauren looked REALLY good as a brunette??

mattypopo,

I hope you appreciate the traumatic experiences I have suffered. In the past year alone, the most revered poster on TVgasm, has overcome a bout of meningitis and had to deal with a thief who stole her discussion board identity.

Please have some sympathy for me. Your harsh comments truly hurt me. Please think of ME! Everyone else does! Get with it.

I agree with Jhaunt that She-Pratt and Heidi have the same mannerisms. I was watching the show and thinking this girl acts and sounds like Heidi. That's weird for Spencer to have a g/f that is like his sister. Hmmmmm......psychology time:

When Spencer's sister got arrested last year or whenever that was, he didn't talk to his sister for awhile after that because he was really dissapointed on how she's been behaving. Then he meets Heidi who looks like his sister and acts like his sister......so he gets her to do whatever he wants, he controls her.........because he couldn't control his sister, this was another way of doing that. A Ha!

So yeah.....i dunno if that made sense or where I was goin with it.....but something along the lines of that. =)

oh yeah........Lo is irritating me too.

I agree - Whitney is a really funny drunk person. Am I the only one who actually likes Lo? I think she's really and doesn't try to be someone she's not. A lot of girls, including my self, talk to their friends saying things like loserface, etc. I think it's cute! She and Lauren have been friends forever and I like that they still are. I wish Jen Bunney would just go away though.

Whitney's slurred Sigfried and Roy comment was the highlight!

That's the kinda stuff they gotta start showing - Hills girls getting shit-faced! We know they must get drunk at the clubs and parties, start acting crazy like normal 21 yr old girls!!

I like Lo, too. She's like that one friend you've known forever who isn't shy about telling you the truth.

I also like seeing LC more in control of who she hangs with this season. It was painful sometimes on Laguna Beach seeing her left out and disappointed. There were too many awkward moments for her.

Is it ridiculous to hold out hope for a better, more authentic season to come?

Ding Dong- Your Prince is here..

I LOVE Ting. I just do. This episode? Not so much.

When will Spencer and Heidi stuff themselves in a bottle and ship out with the Japanese current? Anytime soon? And they can take the astoundingly UNDERWHELMING camera whore snotty sister with them.

Peace and Love.
C.Ex.

According to the aftershow, Jen Bunney was supposed to be a June bug, judging from the fact that she wrote "June" on one arm and "Bug" on the other.

However, she spelled June "Juon". Her intellect is astonishing.

Whitney rocks, Corey is hot (even with the lip ring), I love Lo, I'm kind of over Lauren, Audrina is a complete moron and Speidi and She-Pratt need to do us all a favor and crawl into a hole and die.

This episode was kinda lame. This apparent build up to the big reveal that they are trying to create just ain't flyin' and I'm getting quite bored (yawn) so I'll just comment on some of the peeps:
1. I like that LC has finally grown a pair and is not acting like a doormat. She's still a nice girl, jut more self-assured. More power to ya girlfriend!
2. I think Lo is funny and she is that friend that just tells it like it is. I get that she's just a harmless sometimes smartass. Unlike LC's other fake ass friends, Lo would have her back in a fight, high-heels and all.
3. Corey is a hot mofo, but that lip ring has to go. I couldn't tell if it was a ring or if he had a busted lip for a minute there. I'd still get butt-naked with him though.
4. Brody is hot. He seems to genuinely have feelings for LC. He gives her that "look". I think they are both too scared of rejection to put it out there. I've had that exact same relationship enough times to see the signs. Neither wants to make the first official "I wanna be yours" move.
Nobody else on the show is worth commenting on. And I'm out.

For some reason I'm not convinced Lo is that loyal. Can you really jugde that (or anything) from a reality show? One of the things that bothered me was that she was interrupting LC through their dinner. I think she got better by the end of the scene.

MY UNPOPULAR OPINIONS:

1.) Lo isn't really in college. Or she's attending the same college that Heidi's attending. Btw, poster #6, before cracking on someone's intelligence, you might want to make sure your post has no spelling errors -> "(What college acutally accepted Lo?)"

2.) Lauren's looks are fading fast. At this rate, she'll be looking 45 next season (if there is a next season). It's time to think about wrinkle/line-reducing cream, LC.

3.) The show is too boring to watch and makes Ting's recaps entertaining by comparison.

4.) LC needs a whole new batch of friends. I'm bored with her current ones (although, Whitney can stay). Maybe she should ask Heidi how to IM Kristin...

5.) If it weren't for the Speidi scenes, this show would be even more unwatchable.

6.) I could care less if events are fake, timelines are heavily edited, conversations are dubbed, and fake relationships are created. Just bring the damn drama! All that rearranging for a boring reality show? Waste. Of. Broadcasting. Space.

MY UNPOPULAR, POPULAR OPINIONS:

1.) Leechface is very unattractive. He looks like a poor woman's Brody.

2.) Audrina is ugly as hell, so Leechface + Deadrina = AWESOME COUPLE

That is all.

Most of these people are in college. Lo definitely is, at University of California: Santa Barbara. My old hs classmate is in her sorority. Christina from Laguna, Jenn Bunney, and Whitney are all USC people (in Whitney's case, former). Lord knows what Brody did or if he even set foot in a school. I think he's a jewelry designer?
I am a fan of Lo. She's actually witty and not afraid to make a fool of herself, unlike vapid, uptalking Audrina.

During the second season of Laguna Beach, many posters on this site were yearning for the then barely seen Lo. Now it seems as if so many people are annoyed by her. I, for one, am glad to see more of her and her quirkiness on a regular basis. She always provides a little levity during the tension-filled moments. She transferred from UC Santa Barbara to UCLA a couple of years ago which definitely allows for more opportunities to get together with Lauren (and for The Hills viewers to see more of her).

I’m feeling a little dumb about Corey and his lip “adornment”. Until I read this recap, I thought Corey had a fake busted lip as part of his Halloween costume. Then when he and Audrina subsequently went on their dinner date, I thought that he had a real busted lip. It wasn’t until reading the leech lip-ring recap that I realized it was a piece of jewelry. Maybe it’s more flattering in person since it really didn’t do much for him on television except be a distraction on a good-looking guy.

1-Love superbrody with the short short hair-HOT!
2- I am with Coco, thought Corey had a busted lip
3-I dont think she-pratt is that revolting, especially now that she sopped up her face.
4-LOVE LO LOVE LO
5- Heidi confuses me, she doesnt have enough self- esteem to keep Spencer from being a controlling wack job, but then she out of nowhere grows a pair?

I really don't think that's a lip ring...looks like stitches to me =(

okay I retract my comment. I found him online and I guess it is a lip ring. I now agree with Coco...

Lauren is not "entitled". I think people just have a problem with the fact that she's a stronger person now. We're used to seeing her taking all of Stephen and Jason's bullshit on Laguna Beach and even the first Hills season. Now, after all the drama that has gone down in her life, she is just trying to make the right choices and surround herself witht he right people. She went through a bad relationship, was screwed over by two "best friends", and had to go through her name being dragged through the dirt. So she is just careful who she has in her life, and who her friends put in their lives as well.

the collective brain power of LC, audrey and hiede is less than that of plant life. these stupid f%$king girls get the guys they deserve because they are just plain dumb. they get guys that abuse them because all they require is a "hot dumb guy" who just wants to pop and drop them. i love how they are always surprised when it happens, then it is the guys fault. the stupid sluts get drunk, spread their legs and act stupid. guess what that attracts idiots!? if not for mtv all these spoiled brats would be unemployed.

I can't believe no one commented on the "party" at Don Antonio's! That's was the funniest part of this recap. I actually spit my coffee out reading it. The screencap was a nice touch, btw.

Heehaw, your comments make me sick. You obviously hate women. You seem like the type to side with a rapist. No one wants to read your disgusting, despicable comments. Please go away.
