The Hills...getting a LITTLE too predictable

Sorry to say this, but the show is getting a little too.....predictable. I know it is a "reality" show, but I think the producers need to hire some new writers. (But that is all really happening right? SURE, if you want to believe that)

As the season opened LC and Whit were going to Gay Pair-e and upon arrival, they KNOW they have to pick up some shoes, but they decide to pick up their ballgowns first. Then when they get to the shoe store, of course it is closed.

I am not sure who the show is now geared towards now because I am pretty sure that anyone capable of intelligent thought could tell that was going to happen. Is the show now skewing towards 12 year-olds?

Well they wake up early the next morning to go and pick up the shoes, but they are too busy talking about not taking showers, GET OUT THERE AND PICK UP THE SHOES! COME ON!

Then the two girls make it in to work and this is where you can tell the show is getting to the unbelievable point. LC has appeared on how many magazines (Cosmo, etc) and she is doing grunt work for some not-so-attractive French Models. REALLY? If I was the Photog, I would send the French girls away and take LC's pic. Just saying. SHE IS THE STORY, not the French girls. Moving on.....

LC and Whit then meet up with a band that LC met in LA or something and the guys are dirty looking. With the hair and the smoking and the tight black clothes and whatnot...throw in that Lauren apparently got her make-up advice from a clown-whore. The one, nastiest band member who looks 38 has set his sites on Lauren and she seems into it. Ummmm ARE YOU KIDDING?

Then the funniest moment of the first 30 minutes is when Twitney asks Lauren, "oh you've never seen the Eiffel Tower?" Um No Whitney, she's never been there before. YOU went the last time, remember?

In the second half, the greasy band wants the girls to go out to a nice club and LC doesn't have a dress, SO she decides to just sew her ballgown up. (CAN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS DEVELOPING HERE!) Somehow she makes it through the night without getting anything spilled on it, as I predicted, but I am sure it smells GREAT as she is sitting in the middle of a smoking contest among the greasy band members. Then the 52 year old guy trying to hit the 21? year old LC asks for a kiss goodnight. JUST CREEPY!

The next day we find that LC HAS in fact ruined the dress with a curling iron. Nice. Good work there. Maybe you should have left it in the hanging bag in the closet like any responsible person would have? Nah! No fun there. and no drama. (seriously writers. a little believability please)

So she makes it to the event in a new dress that she promises to the designer she "will take such care of it" (REALLY, SHOULD HE TRUST YOU SINCE YOU RUINED HIS OTHER ONE?) and at the end, Greasy guy picks her up on a motorcycle (actually I thought it was his rascal, since he is OLD) and takes her through the city as it is raining. Yeah, THAT'S taking really good care of the dress.

Finally LC and Twit are headed back to the states and LC has gotten a call saying the Brody has a girlfriend now (wow, in just two days. Fantastic. Maybe it was just YOU Lauren that he didn't want to commit to. Or he has a REAL girlfriend, and not one written into the script? MAYBE)

In the side story, Heidi goes to Colorado to visit her mom and step-dad to "get away from Spencer" and he goes after her. Spencer wins no friends with any of the family here as he just shows up, but I think a bunch of editing was done to make it look more awkward than it really was. NO WAY he gets to go to dinner and STAY THE NIGHT if it was truly that awkward, UNLESS MTV was calling the shots....wait. That's probably it. Also the parents probably don't REALLY have a problem with it, since the relationship isn't real.

We find at the end that Heidi wants Spencer to leave the apartment when she gets back. (I thought that maybe the lease was in Spencer's name and not Heidi's since she moved in with him after HE made the arrangements, but that's just me.)

In future episodes we see that Stephen makes a return to TV. I have said that Stephen may be the dumbest guy in reality TV history. He had LC and Kristin FIGHTING over him, then he ended up with NEITHER. Probably because he wore black socks at all times with shorts! (He also had the Hayden Cheerleader Hero girl, but he lost HER too! He must give off a good first impression, then fail to follow through. Like a guy with a good 40 time at the NFL combine.) Also, She Pratt tries to reach out to LC. That could ONLY be good. And Audrina and LC argue back and forth about Heidi.

ALRIGHT FINE, I'm sucked back in. But please, stop with the obviously predictable story lines like LC ruining her dress. No one is that dumb, after proving to be so smart to wrangle this show from an ensemble cast reality show. We know she is really smart, and not dumb enough to do some of the stuff the writers are making her do. I wonder if she reads the script and says, "COME ON ADAM DiVELLO! I'M NOT THIS DUMB!"

Let's step it up guys!
