'The Hills' Looks Painfully Staged, but Is the Show as Fake as a Pair of LA Lips?

Is MTV's 'The Hills' scripted? Stars of the show were given very candid about the more than a few plotlines viewers saw at house.

No one seems to care anymore that MTV airs pretty much anything but tune (the cash's in Ridiculousness and more than a few reality TV programming), but there are a few shows that, after they debuted, in reality tolled the bell signaling a alternate in the community's layout for good. Programs like Laguna Beach and The Hills are unquestionably section of that dialog, but what adds insult to injury is that viewers for the longest time shouted, "But it's scripted!"

Is 'The Hills' scripted? Yes. A lot. So, so much.

If you had any doubt for your mind as as to whether or not the storylines in The Hills have been manufactured for the digicam, there have been several events where now not handiest producers who labored on the show, but additionally the stars themselves got extremely candid about the veracity of what transpired on set.

For example, Heidi Montag mentioned in a 2016 interview with BuzzFeed that her promotion at Bolthouse Productions used to be completely drummed up for some on-camera drama between her and Elodie. "I definitely did not get the promotion over Elodie," Heidi stated. "She really worked there and I pretend worked there, so it was obviously a pretend promotion for her to be upset about. That whole plot was scripted."

It's essential to notice that this took place in Season 1 of the show, so this is not a case of the producers beginning with a authentic plotline after which attempting new issues with a purpose to drum up ratings later on. It was once principally a drama where folks performed themselves in manufactured eventualities.

This is not the handiest scripted portion of the show both. Remember Whitney Port's travel to Paris? It did not happen.

Whitney told Vogue that even though they shot the scene at the airport that showed her warding off to France, she never even had a price ticket booked or boarded a plane: "That was so ridiculous. I got dressed up in an airport look and went for it. It wasn’t an ideal situation, but I thought, OK, this is good for me because I really was pursuing a career in fashion. I thought it showed that I was down and determined to do this."

Other fake plotlines: Heidi never intentionally crashed the Teen Vogue party; Justin Bobby got here to shoot pick-up scenes on the day he "wore combat boots to the beach" but did not actually ditch Audrina — who, by the method, wasn't in reality pals with Lauren and Lo; Brody and Lauren by no means actually dated, and Brody by no means slept with any of the different feminine forged members; and Heidi and Spencer didn't in reality fight (it was once just for the cameras).

Also, the condo that Spencer kicked Holly out of it? Yeah, that was if truth be told Holly's condominium, and Heidi never tried tricking Spencer into having a child and all of their interactions with Enzo were completely made up.

So why did they undergo with all of the fakery? Well, Spencer Pratt most probably put it best, telling Us Weekly: "The producers would tell me to do crazy stuff and I’d do it. It was a bummer thinking I wouldn’t be making millions eating lunch on camera. I’d say five percent reflected reality. We were good actors."

What about the Hills reboot? Is it just as fake as the OG one? While no one concerned has outright stated it yet, it is protected to assume that if the previous formula labored for MTV and raked in thousands and thousands of viewers and helped release other people's careers, the reboot's most definitely going to be extra of the similar.

Fake-real drama systems got spoofed via 'SNL' in 2018 with its Real Intros of Reality Hills comic strip.

It's beautiful on the nose.
