Members DRW50 Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I hope this means less Z-list and badly staged "reality" on MTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 You didn't like any of it – Laguna Beach, The Hills, The City...? Why? What bugged you the most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 It just all seems the same to me. I think I would be less annoyed if not for the awful "Speidi." And I also hate what has been done to Real World over the last ten years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 You are right: it was the same show. But I have honestly idea why you gave them a chance in the first place. They're something really distant from you, as I see it. You need genuine, raw emotions, slow pace, heart... There's no such thing in today's world. And thus in TV either. That is to pursue these shows wanting something so extraneous to them is doomed. There were other reasons why they were fun. When they were good.

Members JackPeyton Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 People can bash the quality of the content all they want but lb/the hills are by far the best looking reality show ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 2, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yep. Plus, a quality reality show is kind of an oxymoron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 Yes, yes I can. I guess you're just not "cool" and "hip" Carl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 I have a history with those from when they weren't so plastic. It doesn't help that a lot of the big media personalities from The Hills are either Speidi or that Audrina girl. She is nice, but on DWTS (although her plastic surgery fits in there as well), she is so vacant, and has these contrived little scenes where she weeps over how HARD this is for her and what a burden it is and her boyfriend is so upset, and Tony has to hug her as she boo hoos. It's almost like having any actual personality of your own is not part of the contract of these shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 yes, because... me too! i watched KCav, LC, Heidi, Audrina, Stephanie (Who got AMAZING surgery) all before they did surgery. To be honest i HATED a good chuck of them, yet was addicted. I loved The Hills, it was this odd hybrid of reality and scripted. You never really KNEW one way or another. The things that went down were relatable, despite the over the top glamorous lifestyle. Who hasnt had a best fiend who dated a douche and caused tension, who hasnt dealt with rumors that got out of control, cheating, work drama, roommate drama, friends competing with eachother, relationships that are hard to end even though you know you should, etc. Sure most people dont deal with this at a hollywood club or on a yacht or in fiji, but still. Real or not, it was the best damn soap opera of the decade, by far. And the best looking show. Furthermore, the finale of The Hills top any finale to a soap opera I have ever seen, and to most primetime shows for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
