Why Do We Love MTV's the Hills?

Spencer, Heidi, Brody and Lauren, if these names are familiar then you might just be a fan of one of the most popular reality shows on television. MTV's the Hills have catapulted its stars to instant fame. A spin off of Laguna Beach, the Hills has grown with its audience and offers viewers a look into the hectic, dramatic lives of the leading characters.

Set in Los Angeles, the Hills break out star, Lauren, is a fashion mogul in training. The cameras follow her from her internship at Teen Vogue to fashion school to enjoying night life with her friends. While this 20 something's life somewhat reflects the average college student's day to day living, the added ingredient that makes the Hills a can't miss show is the drama associated with the relationships between the characters.

Last season's finale left the audience wondering what would happen between best friends, Lauren and Heidi. Heidi's boyfriend, Spencer was not Lauren's favorite person. This alienated the girls and soon Heidi moved in with Spencer much to the dismay of Lauren. Heidi and Spencer are still together with rumors circulating on the net that their entire relationship and recent engagement is nothing more than a ploy for celebrity status and attention. One thing is for sure, this real life soap opera is racking up millions of viewers for MTV.
