The Hills Recap: LC is lame, Speidi is lamer!

Well, we were blessed to get a double dosage of The Hills this week. The (not-so) triumphant return of LC gave us quite a few moments, while others were focused more on the virus known as Speidi.

First, let’s figure out who’s idea it was to get a bunch of rich LA kids together on a boat? Did MTV foot the bill here? How does that work exactly? For some odd reason, Heidi has self-invited herself to this party. (ok, we are all now a teeny bit more knowledgeable about “reality-TV” which must mean that the producers somehow coerced her to go and make a fool of herself).

Sidenote: Is Heidi’s hair a wig?

Meanwhile, Spencer has somehow decided to hit on a squeaky sounding bartender who has no problems taking down the patron. Flirting ensues, and I was a bit disappointed that Jamie Foxx’s “Blame It” didn’t play during the scene. She was clearly planted there as well.

Spencer has no friends – as obvious in his creepy 70’s-stached friend at the bar. I think he was randomly just sitting there and the post-editor wrote a fake name and “Spencer’s Friend” underneath it.

Cameron texts his ex (for some reason) who reminds me now of Brooke Hogan. Heidi then calls Spencer, and Spencer in a drunken stupor, REALLY wants to show everyone how he can beat up a Tobey Maguire look-a-like at a bar called Dice. “Just touch me man!” Hmmm, he does give him a good pop on the chin. Never saw a head snap back like that on TV. Remember before you fight someone to look them in the eyes. If they look as crazy as Spencer’s you’d best duck first.

I think this represents a new low to this show. It has now revolved around two people we all can’t stand, while rumors of Audrina getting HER own show have been confirmed. It’s a bit too much now. Sort of like the Bravo-approach to a successful show. Oh, people liked Project Runway? Hmm, how about Top Chef? How about some Top Model show? How about some hair cutting show? How about an interior design show? REALLY? Why not stop with The City and leave it at that! (Same thing with the Real Housewives of (fill in the city). I’m boycotting once they decide to film The Real Housewives of Cincinnati).

Previews for following weeks proved to be intriguing, but seriously, can we get The City II back and cut The Hills short this time around?
