{television} the hills; season one (2006)

Oh, to be young and a reality star: Fresh from the shores of "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," 19-year-old Lauren Conrad shakes off the sand and heads for the hills -- Beverly Hills, that is -- for yet another reality series, this one focused on her experiences interning at Teen Vogue. The oddly intense (for one so seemingly charmed) Lauren juggles work, college (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) and an unruly roommate.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** While it feels way more staged than Laguna Beach, The Hills is a nice spinoff to the show.. Lauren is enduring as always, but I lost all respect for her at the end of the season with her decision. I won't spoil it, but I don't think you'll believe the choice she made either. Heidi is an idiot of epic proportions and I can't stand her at all.
