This season on The Hills

The Hills mini-season recap

[the hills]

Paris!
Lauren and Whitney went to Paris to work for Teen Vogue during the Crillon Ball. Those debutante girls were gorgeous and had amazing gowns. That was pretty much the best thing that happened in that episode. MTV hired some French band to squire the girls around, go to the Eiffel Tower and give Lauren a romantic ride on a Vespa around Paris at night. Sounds great, for a movie, but this is "reality" TV. Among the dumb things Lauren does: take personal calls while at work, decide to pick up ball gowns before deb girls shoes (the store is closed!!), wear said ball gown on night out, make it home safe and the burn it with a curling iron (btw, Lauren actually can sew!) and finally wear new ball gown out on Vespa with dirty French boy. All in all, not smart.

She-Pratt
This season Stephanie Pratt has made a play for friendship with Lauren, much to Spencer's delight. Note sarcasm. He calls her another Brody, makes her cry and he's squatting in her apartment. What a douchebag. Stephanie is in Lauren's computer class is FIDM and is slowly weaseling her way in. She says she wants to help LC and Heidi be friends again, lets be real, she's looking for some quality screen time.

Spencer

First, this is too funny to not share.

Spencer Pratt, Harry, Big Foot, The Hills

He is a douche and Heidi is still with him, though on the season they've "broken up". Gimme a break. We've all seen the Easter pics. Gag!

Montag-Pratt

Audrina is partying, Whitney is working and Lo is being the awesomest girl that she is! LC that's your true friend. Get rid of She-Pratt listen to Lo and Brody and move on.

Coming soon on the Hills....Stephen.

Eli Stone and Miss Guided

Eli Stone aired 4/3/08

Tonight on Eli Stone he defends his brother in court, Dowd tries get SpyDaddy's approval and Maggie gets engaged. Finally, his brother believes him. Eli has some incredible visions, or flashback of his brothers memories while defending him in a trial. Eli discovers that Nate made the decision to not let his dad have a heart that could have saved him and Nate has carried that guilt for years. While the case was interesting, the chemistry of the brothers was more amazing. Eli feeling like Nate doesn't understand him and Nate feeling like Eli doesn't take the case seriously enough. In the end Eli wins and the bros have a drink and come to an understanding of one another. Meanwhile, Matt is trying to get approval to date Taylor from Jordan, after Taylor said she couldn't date co-workers, which she made up just to get him off her back. Jordan freaks and tells Eli, fireworks ensue. Maggie is engaged and Eli is shocked as he assumed she's in love with him, which she is. It was another great hour and one of my favorite new shows!

Miss Guided aired 4/3/08

miss guided

Miss Saigon on Miss Guided! Becky produces the school musical, Miss Saigon. First she picks the girl who never gets the starring role to star. This girl CANNOT sing! The girl who can sing is shocked she didn't get the part. Tim is so proud of Becky and her producing he asks her to a celebratory dinner. Unfortunately, Becky gets so engrossed she alienates everyone and accidentally causes Tim to cut off part of his thumb. Meanwhile, Bruce is attempting to woo Lisa by exploiting her insecurities because that's what "The Game" (a book) told him to do. I think that must have been written by a man. She does drunkenly kiss him, but then immeadiatly passes out. In the end, Becky gets kissed by a student in the school play because her lead bails. But the kids loved the play so she doesn't get fired.

On the next half hour and the season finale :( Becky and Lisa compete for Tim's affection. Lisa has the early edge. Plus Rumer Willis guest stars in a role with about 3 lines. Which I am guessing is all she can handle. Hmmm.....I wonder how she got that role? I just want to say Team Becky! Take Lisa down, although Lisa has the early edge on the Tim competition. I hope this show comes back, I enjoy it!

Eli Stone, Big Bang Theory, HIMYM, Real World Awards

Eli Stone aired 3/27/08

This week George Michael is back! But for real this time, he's hired Eli to represent a girl who has been expelled from school for playing one his songs during an abstinence rally. Apparently the principal didn't feel "I Want Your Sex" was appropriate, of course if he understood the song, he might have felt differently. Who knew that Jordan Weathersby was a George Michael fanboy? That had to be the best part of the show, Victor Garber playing a distinguished lawyer, who loves George Michael and sings Elton John. Plus, Taylor and whatshisface lawyer guy hooking up! Eli sees them singing "I Got You Babe" confronts Taylor she denies anything happening and then ends up hooking up with him. What a dumbass! This is still one of my favorite new shows of the year!

CBS Comedy night The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother 3/31/08

This week on the Big Bang Theory, Sheldon is sick and everyone else is in hiding. Poor Penny is left to deal with him. She's forced to care for him while the boys hide out in a theatre for a Planet of the Apes marathon. Disaster strikes when Leonard's glasses are broken and he must go in to the apartment without being caught by Sheldon, who has taken Penny hostage in his misery. She's rubbing vaporub on his chest and singing the Soft Kitty song. In the end Leonard is busted by Penny and she sells him out in order to make a quick escape. Sheldon is one annoying sick genius.

On How I Met Your Mother, Barney creates a bracket of the top 64 women he's hooked up with to figure out who is bad mouthing him to the women of NYC. The scene where they are going through the bracket is hilarious. "Evil twin trumps 12 hours to live!!" After tracking down the final 4, we discover a Cinderella story in the making. The mystery woman is not in the bracket! We still don't know who she is but I imagine will someday!

Plus one girl still thinks he is Ted Mosby and created a website!

doogie howser, m.d.

The best part of the whole episode was the last minute. When Barney is writing his blog and the music that played over him as Doogie Howser came on. I laughed hard, for a few minutes. It was awesome.

Barney Stinson


Real World Awards aired 4/2/08

Lame, obviously who ever was allowed to vote on this didn't watch the first 7 season or so. Which by the way are the best. Tyrie and Davis are best fight over Kevin and Julie from season 1? Austin cast is favorite? Johnny Bananas is hottest guy? (Have they seen Jason from the Seattle cast?) Overall, it was cool to see people from the past seasons, but the awards were lame. I wish MTV would stop casting people who are competing for biggest whore, or who can consume the most alcohol without being arrested. It used to be about young people looking to the future and now it's about who can party hardest in the present. LAME!
