Dear Jenny,
Um, The Hills was on last night and then and then . . . oh crap. I watched it. I just have nothing to say. That shouldn't stop me from posting, though. Let's see:
I worry about those girls. Not Heidi, because my guess is that she was that creepy before this show came along, and not Whitney or Lo, because they appear to be handling their weird fame appropriately, but the others. Where is this all going to lead? How do you go back to living your own life, without cameras, once we all stop caring about whether or not you're still talking to your ex-best-friend?
What is really going on in that house? Is Lo really that mean (and Lauren that clueless) or is this Lo-Audrina-Lauren conflict just the usual weird mix of coaching and editing?
I guess we're supposed to care about Spencer and Heidi's broken hearts, but all I could think was "Why did Spencer let himself into Heidi's apartment?" and "Are we really supposed to believe that he's going to figure out that she's left maybe for good?"
Remember when Whitney was on this show? And sometimes we would see her and Lauren at People's Revolution? Where did that story go? Less compelling than the entire cast marveling that Lauren and Stephanie are now friends, I guess.
Still find The Paper completely thrilling as well. Last night's episode did seem to be heading down the familiar Laguna Beach/The Hills route a little more than I felt comfortable, ie endless scenes of Cassia interviewing Amanda about how Amanda thinks Alex feels about Alix, vis a vis Amanda. On the other hand, we had the amazing High School Reunion on Ice subplot. Also, next week, mark your calendar, we're going to get that weird Adam hissy fit that we keep seeing in the promos.
Love,
-- Pete
