The Hills ... Redux

As promised, I watched the finale. Here goes!

So, life is difficult, and Kristin needs change. Specifically, she's going to move to Europe. As noted on The Soup, it's never specified where in Europe she's going, so it's all very believable. Maybe this face is indicating that the decision is overwhelming. Or, equally likely, she doesn't even believe her own acting. Riveting stuff.

In other news, both Stephanie and Lo suddenly have boyfriends. They are both getting very serious, so they're lives are changing. Also, they are happy about it. See the smiles?

Audrina is moving to "not Hollywood." Yeah, right. After dating Ryan Cabrera and being on the Hills for five years, she just needs to get out of the spotlight. It's all very believable. Besides, she can't go too far, or she'll be out of Justin Bobby range, and one of these days, he may be less douchey and really want a relationship (hahahahahaha).


Then, for a the SHOCKING end of the finale episode, Brody sees off Kristin as she's heading for her flight to Europe. Fantastic montage of prior Hills footage, including pre-plastic surgery Heidi and Stephen!!!! I knew they'd find a way to bring him back and bring a smile to my face. Oh, no, that was not the shock. Everyone was surprised to find that the scene was shot in a studio lot, as the hills behind Brody were pulled away for the reveal. Kristin jumped back out of the car, and America was left in a tailspin! Was it all a lie? What are we to believe? I can't believe that a reality show would be based on anything aside from 100% reality. Shenanigans! The saddest part? No more fodder for Joel McHale. I'll just have to strengthen my VH1 focus. Ochocinco, here I come!
