Review - The Hills Finale

This is our first blog together. Exciting times.

The Hills is over. While some people cheer in happiness, myself and Melissa mourn the loss of one of our favourite tv shows ever. So how was the last episode you ask?


Sam's Review: 


The Hills hasn't been the same since beautiful Lauren Conrad left, it's no secret. It's still been enjoyable and watchable. Definitely more draaamaaa than before but not the same as it once was.


When the final episode came along there is only 1 original cast member left (not including Brody Jenner and Frankie Delgado). Basically each of the main characters ended their story. Lo Bosworth who has been around since the beginning, in Laguna Beach, moved in with her long term boyfriend Scott. Audrina Patridge moved away from Hollywood and got a sexy house next to the beach. Stephanie Pratt FINALLY found herself a boyfriend but she's probably broken up with him now. Kristin Cavallari decided to move to Europe and threw a leaving party at the Roosevelt Hotel oddly where the first ever episode of the Hills took place. Brody did not want Kristin to go and in the final scene when they were saying goodbye, it was revealed they were filming on a set!


The Hills has been criticized since the beginning for being fake and scripted. This last scene was supposed to poke fun at that. I personally don't feel it did that. I felt it just confirmed to the haters and criticizers that the show is fake. I know it's not fake. I choose to believe it's not fake and I'm not going to change my mind just because of the scene. I love The Hills and I have well technically not since it started but around Season 3 but it might as well have been. I will miss the Hills and the people on it, but don't worry. We still have Whitney Port in the The City and Jersey Shore and The Hard Times of RJ Berger.


(Also it was a shame Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt weren't there. I miss them.)


I give it 5 stars. (out of 5)




Melissa's Review:


So The Hills has finally come to an end *tears*. I remember back in the days of when Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari were fighting over Stephen Colletti! That was in the city of Laguna Beach and then they ventured to LA where the drama got worse! 


The Hills have been a fantastic series, full of work, style, relationships and of course drama! And now that it’s over The Hills will be sadly missed. This last series has been really different compared to the others, for one Kristin Cavallari took over Lauren Conrad. My honest opinion of season 6, the drama seem to be more forced then actual drama like in the previous seasons. The only drama that seemed 100% real and not forced or put on was Spencer turning into a total basket case. This series hasn’t been the best, but it has been funny, it has provided us with drama and it’s nice to see that Lo and Stephanie finally made it as main characters. The last episode was emotional untill they put in that dreadful 'set ending'. I don’t think they should have done the set thing, because that took it away from the emotional ending we were expecting, and kind of made us go. Um... What!? Seriously? That’s how you’re ending it. It just feels like we didn’t get the closure we wanted because it was ruined? But I think they were right to end it at this season while everything was real and before they had to make Stephanie a lesbian and Frankie a pimp to create better drama than the previous season! As much as I love The Hills, tbh it just wasn’t the same without Lauren or Whitney. 


I give it 3 stars. (out of 5)


Thoughts?

I Looked Mint Last Night

I was invited to a birthday party last night thrown by my friend Andrew Nelson.


Alot of thought went in to what to wear and I finally decided to be Woody from Toy Story.


The girl next to me is Nicole Mullen who dressed as Jessie. See we come as a pair more ways the one :)
This legend is Sarah Bell as V from V for Vendetta.
V vs Woody!
It was quite a good night.
