As much as viewers complain and complain about how boring it is, it used to be kind of fun to watch Lauren v. Heidi every week. Now it's just boring. Genuinely boring. So boring I can't even pretend I'm caring about it. Even though I'm still watching. The rumored Whitney spin-off is something I could definitely see myself getting into, though. She's the only one with any real direction in her life. Even if she seems completely incapable of letting the "g" in "-ing" words be silent. This ought to be the last season of The Hills.

I watched the new season for the first time last night and I found myself unable to suspend reality as much as I could in the past. Their stares angered me instead of inspiring fascination. I think, no matter what kind of fan you are, opinion is definitely shifting towards believing the show is actually nonsense, as opposed to tolerably entertaining nonsense.
