Is this whore-y enough?

On this week's episode of The Hills, the girls crash the boys' weekend in Hawaii. Broday is mad for 4 seconds and then the girls agree to do shots and he's in heaven. I think Doug is on this trip. As in, Doug the guy who dated Lauren to be on The Hills and then moved to She-Pratt to stay on The Hills and then gave up on The Hills and moved to Paris Hilton. THAT Doug. He sucks. And there's also Frankie and Sleazy T and Broday, of course. For the girls there's Lauren, Lo, Audrina and She-Pratt.

Heidi and Spencer are shopping in Barnes and Noble (probably staging a photo shoot in the children's books section!) and Heidi mentions that Colby, her ex-boyfriend from forever ago, is coming to town for a visit. Well, of course he is! Those two haven't seen each other in five years and after one arranged visit in CO (by Heidi's mom!) they are suddenly friends again. Spencer is jealous, obviously, even though anyone could tell that Heidi was so not into Colby when she was forced to eat dinner with him. But Colby goes to Bible college, so I think he could give some great advice to Spencer.

Oooh, it's a double date with Speidi and Colby and his girlfriend. Ha! Looks like Spencer has nothing to worry about! Colby's girlfriend, Ashley, warms up to Heidi right away by telling her that "she looks so different." OMG! This girl is incredibly unaware and I love it! Heidi is pretty surprised because she must have a Don't Talk About My Plastic Surgery Clause written into her contract. Looks like Ashley didn't sign it! They go on to talk about how they are saving themselves for marriage and Spencer's jaw basically hits the floor. He's having a lot of fun messing with them and even invites Colby to go boxing with him the next day. I hope Colby beats the crap out of him.

Over in Hawaii She-Pratt tells Audrina that hooking up with Broday might be a good way to get J-Bob back. She's got a million ideas, folks! Priceless.

Boxing time with Spencer and Colby gives way to more questions from Spencer about how Colby could possibly manage to stay a virgin. Colby informs him that it's not hard and that he prays a lot, but that he's looking forward to a bigger payoff. And that's when he invites Spencer to join his Bible Study that night. Because Colby hosts a Traveling Bible Study? Awesome!

Tensions arise in Hawaii when Audrina admits to having a little crush on Broday. How is this not super weird for Lauren and Audrina?!

At the Traveling Bible Study, where it would seem that Spencer and Heidi both had their own Bibles (!), Spencer asks to see the verse where it forbids sex before marriage. Ashley refers to it as "fornification" and Colby quickly corrects her, "fornication!" Not that he, you know, pays attention to that or anything, gah! Anywhoo, they find the verse that condemns Speidi to hell and then move on. Spencer is saddened by this news, I guess, and decides to text during Bible Study. And let's be honest, even if he and Heidi weren't going to hell before, he'd be well on his way already.

Drama is averted in Hawaii when Broday refuses Audrina's subtle offer to be "more than friends." AKA, he didn't follow her inside the house. Frankie gives him shit for it, but he tells everyone that he's in love with his girlfriend, Jayde. He's a better man than I thought he was, but I'm pretty sure that Jayde sucks.

Oh snap! Nevermind! He just waltzed into the house to talk to Audrina and told her that he thinks she's sweet and that he's glad they've been friends for so long and he doesn't want there to be any hard feelings. BUT...if something were to happen one night, with no one else around, well "feelings are feelings." That's the Broday I know! And it's confirmed the next morning as the girls wake up to discover that Audrina slept over at Broday's place! Good thing "no one else was around" so it can be their little secret!

As the boys and girls dish about what happened between Audrina and Broday, one thing is certain, Jayde is gonna cut a bitch. Audrina, watch your back!

Don't hate.

I haven't recapped in two, now three weeks. I suck. I just watched the last two episodes of The Hills and here's the interesting stuff. This week's episode to follow tomorrow!

Wedding FAIL


With the Speidi wedding coverage all over the interwebs, it's a little hard to play into the possible break-up drama. The "will they or won't they?" factor is gone, and it wasn't even all that strong to begin with, considering that those two fame-whores will do anything to get attention. This is their biggest media stunt to date. But I can't wait for when Heidi pees in an outdoor toilet to find out if she's preggers or not. (And PS - Is that Darlene in that photo?! Heidi's mom?! I expected more from you, D. I really did.)

And speaking of fame-whores! She-Pratt is begging Lauren to get her an internship at People's Revolution. I can already tell that Kelly Cutrone is not going to like She-Pratt. And yet Lauren is going to risk her job to get her an interview. Lauren might have stopped making stupid decisions about boys, but she hasn't stopped making stupid decisions!

At the interview, Kelly eats her alive. She busts her chops about wanting to use PR to build her handbag line. And then she asks if She-Pratt can use a computer and print labels. Any office monkey can print a damn label and She-Pratt has no clue. She is hopeless. If she gets this internship then it will be because MTV paid Cutrone to do it.

In Speidi news, Heidi returns from CO and she and Spencer are still fighting. She-Pratt convinces Heidi to hit the bars to try and find Spencer and his friend Charlie to see if he's behaving. And what do you know?! A million bars in LA and they happen to find the one that Spencer goes to! Incredible detective work, ladies. And how is it that Spencer will still not admit to being a d-bag even when Heidi catches him out with the bartender and her friends?! He is the worst. And now that I know about the wedding, that makes Heidi, Mrs. Worst.

MTV is shilling out the big bucks! She-Pratt got the internship. But Kelly told Lauren that if she screws up then she's got to fire her. Awesome. Another friendship doomed to fail.

Even though I know that she won't back up her words, Heidi did give Spencer what-for at lunch the next day. It's probably the most "real" she's ever been and it was great to see her act like a human being in a relationship. But nothing lasts forever...

You're kidding me, right?


Even though J-Bob did "put a ring on it," Audrina is unhappy in the relationship, so she's looking for a new guy. She-Pratt is FAILING at her internship at PR. And Speidi is still fighting about going to a therapist. So let's see how this episode shakes down.

Audrina has her eyes set on...wait for it...BRODAY! Good God, it's just like high school when all the popular kids just dated other popular kids and swapped boyfriends and girlfriends over and over. That didn't make sense then and it doesn't make sense now. Broday was with Lauren and Lauren is Audrina's best (ish) friend so any combination of those three is going to equal AWKWARD. Not to mention the fact that Broday is dating some duck-lipped hoochie mama (Jayde) who's getting very possessive. Yeah, that'll last.

There's some classic J-Bob in this episode. Me-thinks he's back on the sauce again because he's all over the place. Broday's trying to convince him to win Audrina back and he's bouncing to the music, and interrupting Broday with, "We should go surfing again!" Focus, J-Bob. Unfortunately, even when he's focused, he's still an idiot and he and Audrina start fighting again. I thought they were totally broken up, but she's still acting like they're together and that he's a bad boyfriend. Oh, those two.

Guess who sucks at their job? A LOT. She-Pratt. Like, more than words can say. She's got ADD or something. She doesn't focus and when Lauren asks her a question, she spaces out and won't answer. This was a huge mistake. But I secretly hope that Kelly fires her and she goes down in a blaze of whatever the opposite of glory is. Shame maybe. That would work.

Hehehe, it's time for therapy with our favorite couple! They start blabbing about their pathetic drama-filled lives and the therapist (my new favorite person!) calls them "high schoolish." BAM! Take THAT, Speidi! You just got served. Therapy-style. And then the therapist makes them face each other and tell the other one how they feel. Spencer doesn't take it seriously, so Heidi flips and then the therapist sides with Heidi at first, but then is all, "Why are you still with him if you think he's checked out emotionally?" God, therapy is awesome. It's like the perfect way to get people to understand that they are acting like d-bags.

The ladies who lunch (Lauren, Lo and Audrina) decide that they take a trip to Hawaii at the same time the boys are taking their trip to Hawaii. But they promise, "no drama." "Famous last words," says Lauren. Indeed.

Next time on The Hills: Audrina and Broday?! Say it ain't so! Bro-dri-nay? Awesome.

Hope you brought a barf-bag!

Because the rough seas of friendship are about to get a little choppy! Welcome back, bitches! Hope you enjoyed your Speidi-Free time because it's about to end. Right now. I heard Lauren isn't really featured that much this season because her life was "drama-free," but I know that those two idiots will be able to bring some drama to the table. As you've probably heard by now, this will be Lauren's last season of The Hills. As in, Lauren is wisely moving on with her life and MTV is going to continue this show without her. I don't know how I feel about that. Without Lauren the show's anchor would be Audrina? Heidi? SPENCER?! Oh god no!

Anyway, let's begin with the recap, shall we? We open - where else? - at lunch. She-Pratt and Heidi start gabbing about Lauren's upcoming surprise party. It seems as if Heidi wasn't invited. Shocker. But Heidi is shocked since she and Lauren have been "talking and texting and stuff." So She-Pratt agrees to take the fall and bring her as her guest. I smell drama!

Well, well, well...look who's finally friendly! It's Lo and Audrina! It seems they've joined forces to throw Lauren a surprise party. And, being the good script-reading girls that they are, they fill us in on what's happened with them during their hiatus. JustinBobby is out of the picture (Ha! Yeah right, Audrina.), because even "after the ring" he gave her in Palm Springs, nothing changed. I never would have seen that coming, Audrina, don't feel bad (*eye roll*). Also, the girls make it seem like the Lauren-Heidi thing is a little one-sided...aka Heidi is a pathetic loser who won't stop stalking Lauren.

And speaking of the pathetic loser! Heidi and She-Pratt are getting gussied up and whispering about how Heidi didn't tell anyone that she was coming - not even Spencer! So they flat out lie (and poorly, I might add), that they're going to girls' night out and that Lauren *might* be there. I mean, it's her birthday, so I'd give it at least a 50/50 chance, right?

Lauren's bday party is on a yacht and she is blindfolded so she has no clue where they are. The girls actually pull off a pretty good surprise, thanks mostly to Frankie who yells in Lauren's blindfolded face and scares the crap out of her! Another job well done, Frankie.

Back in D-bag Village, we are introduced to Charlie, "Spencer's Friend." Riiiight. I'm guessing he's a cameraman? paid extra? hobo? they hired to complete the scene. We are also introduced to Stacie, the bartender at some skeezy club. She's pouring shots of Patron, the same thing that Spencer had right before he tricked Heidi into marrying him. Awwww.

Oh, and in case you were worried about it, Heidi made it to the yacht before it left the dock! Now they're all on board together! The only way to get away from her is to jump ship. Pretty ruthless plan, Heidi. She's smarter than we give her credit fo--hahahahaha! I'm sorry, even I couldn't make it through that without laughing. Anyway, Lauren's pissed at She-Pratt for inviting her former bestie. Looks like She-Pratt's going overboard!

Lots of talking going on at the yacht. Not surprisingly, the whole Heidi drama has taken over the night. But Lauren's not freaking out about it. On the contrary, she and She-Pratt have a good talk about why she and Heidi aren't friends (hint: it's because of Spencer!) and how she can't understand why Heidi just won't let it be. Lo also gives some words of advice to Heidi and I doubt Heidi will listen to them because she doesn't like taking good advice.

We return to Spencer's night of debauchery and it looks like he's encountered an enemy - She-Pratt's ex-boyfriend. He goes to say hello, but ex-bf is none-to-pleased to see Spencer flirting with the hottie bartender. Me-thinks he'll be spilling the beans about this!

And about 3 seconds later She-Pratt gets a text from her ex about Spencer's flirting. She waits about half a second before telling Heidi and Heidi proclaims that she "wants to get off the boat." Well, here's a life vest and a paddle. We'll be seein' ya!

Turns out she just calls Spencer and asks if the rumor is true, which he denies. And then he tells her he's going to go beat up ex-bf for lying. Spencer's a d-bag and all, but there's no way he can win a fight. And yet, ex-bf is shockingly wimpy! After trash-talking for a minute, Spencer finally wails on the guy, catching him off-guard. He proceeds to punch him a good 5 or 6 times before the fight is broken up. Then, he grabs his jacket, tells his "friend" that they're bouncing and off he goes. News reaches the yacht fast and before even Heidi knows, someone yells that "Spencer just hit Cameron!"

Lauren decides to take this opportunity to remind Heidi just how much Spencer sucks. She doesn't mince words and things get pretty emotional. If you watched the trailer, you know what happens, and it seems as if the girls honestly wish that the situation was different but neither of them can agree on how to make it work now. Tears are shed and hugs are given. In the end, they are still up-in-the-air as friends.

We were on a break!


Spencer decides to pay She-Pratt a visit and tell her off. Because this whole thing was clearly her fault. Spencer is obviously blaming everyone but himself for the encounter at the bar and resulting fight with Heidi. But I don't know how far that will get him because Heidi is FINALLY acting like a semi-normal adult! She decides that the only person she can trust in this situation is the bartender from the night that Spencer got into a fight. Turns out she was right, because homegirl was completely honest with Heidi and told her what Spencer said. She also mentioned that if that were *her* man, she wouldn't be happy with the way he acted. Thankfully someone is telling it like it really is! Now, if only Heidi would actually listen to her.

After a brief argument in which Heidi told Spencer that she knows what really happened at the bar and Spencer tried to turn things around on Heidi ("I can't believe you don't trust me!"), Speidi are taking yet another break. This time Heidi's going back to CO to think about things. Who wants to put money down on Spencer going out there again to surprise her?!

I guess Lauren is still enrolled in school? Uhhh, OK. She and She-Pratt are out looking at fabric swatches and Lauren isn't being very helpful. She finally tells S-P that she doesn't think it was cool that Heidi went to her birthday party and that if S-P was really her friend she would have told Heidi not to go. Then S-P went a little crazy and asked, "Why can't you just be friends with her?!" And Lauren was like, "Because I hate your brother and she's marrying him!" Ah-ha! Don't you remember, She-Pratt? It's not just because Lauren has too many friends and can't fit one more in the group. Lauren tells S-P to seriously stop trying to force Heidi and her to be friends. And I doubt S-P will listen, but good try anyway.

Hell has frozen over! Broday and Spencer together again! Spencer sent Broday a text about his "desperate situation" and Broday had to answer the call of a former BFF. Sounds nice, right? Oh, that's until you hear Broday agreeing with Spencer. Saying that he should be mad at Heidi for believing Cameron over him. See, and this is where your logic falls apart, Broday...SPENCER WAS FLIRTING WITH THE BARTENDER. Get it through your head!! Cameron was totally in the right sending a text to She-Pratt. He didn't know that S-P would show it to Heidi right away or at all. God, these people are driving me crazy!

Hmmm, on the other hand, Broday is trying to convince Spencer to spread his wings and have some guy time. Yeah. Yeah, I like where this is going. Go on, Spencer, go have some guy time. He won't make it one night without eff-ing something up. Speidi will be dunzo!

In chilly Colorado, Heidi's parents are trying to convince her to go back with her old boyfriend (of like 20 year ago), Colby. He's got his act together, keeps asking about Heidi and...whatdaya know?! He just happens to be at the restaurant! What?! Such a coincidence! OK, I don't know how many people even read this blog, or out of those people how many actually still watch The Hills. But the scene in the CO restaurant is priceless, I'm telling you. This Colby kid sits at their table and Heidi's mom proceeds to recount all the good times he and Heidi had together. Then she starts saying how Colby was a wrestling stud back in the day and Heidi fires back with, "Spencer is a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu." AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm sorry, but I have to catch my breath. That's the funniest thing that's ever been said on The Hills, including all of JustinBobby's drug-induced ranting. Thanks, Heidi. Thanks a million.

Broday and Lauren meet up to dish about the bday party and the resulting drama. And Lauren mentions that she thinks it's funny that after Spencer and Heidi burned both Lauren and Broday, they have no one else to call except for them. Oh Lauren, you are so wise.

And while Heidi is in CO telling her mom that she's glad that she and Spencer didn't get married, Spencer is back at that bar flirting it up with the bartender. Oh, he's wooing her good. Giving her the ol' weasel eyes and trying to put his skeezy beard in just the right light. Yeah, I bet the ladies are glad that he's back on the prowl. And PS, what girl in her right mind witnesses the drama that goes down between a boyfriend and a girlfriend and thinks, "Yeah, I need a man like that. I wonder if they're over yet." If she wants him, she can have him.

This season on The Hills! Spencer and that bartender really go out on a date! Lauren gets She-Pratt a job at People's Revolution (Kelly Cutrone is BACK!), Broday gets a new girlfriend just as Audrina tells him that she has a crush on him and She-Pratt tells her to hook up with Broday to get JustinBobby back! It's gonna be a good one! You know, relative to other seasons...not actually good.

Coming Soon

So, I was all prepared to write the recap of The Hills tonight. But I guess it's an hour long and MTV.com hasn't put it online yet. I waited patiently for about 15 minutes and watched several videos online, including that one from Justin Timberlake and Ciara. Um, have you seen that yet? It's crazy. You should check it out if you enjoy either of those two artists, but it's not exactly safe for work. That's all I'm saying.

Tune in tomorrow for my Hills Season 5 premiere recap!
