MTV's The Hills: A Change of Plans (Episode 2 Recap)

I'm going to say something that I may regret later... but I think I actually like Heidi now. She is so interesting to watch. Her carefree attitude and party-loving ways infuse excitement into the show. In fact, at times, Lauren pales in comparison to Heidi.

This episode opens with Lauren and Heidi discussing the "party-crashing" incident. Lauren tries to explain to Heidi why crashing the party and causing a scene was a bad thing. But Heidi's response is simply, "But you didn't get fired, right?"

Next, we see Jordan and Brian playing basketball and discussing girls, namely Heidi and Audrina. I'm sorry, but those two are the biggest dolts and retards that I've seen on reality TV in a long time. Moving on...

Now we're at the Teen Vogue offices where Lauren is pecking away at her computer. Suddenly Blaine enters the room and with a gleam in his eye announces that Lisa Love wants to see Lauren. For a split-second you feel a stab of sympathy for Lauren for having to take orders from a nerd like Blaine. But then everything changes when she goes into Lisa Love's office.

In the premiere episode, Lauren committed the ultimate sin by helping her friends crash the party she was working at and then allowing them to sit in the VIP section that she was supposed to be guarding. So, we all know that there's going to be a big meeting between Lauren and Lisa Love, the West Coast editor of Teen Vogue to discuss her behavior at the party. But despite the fact that Lauren and Whitney both received such stern warnings about being on their best behavior at all times - she gets off with little more than "I do not approve of any alcohol substance abuse" and "Behave" from Lisa. It was almost amusing to watch her being questioned. All Lauren could do was flash a lot of blank looks and mumble a few "Ummm"'s. After the meeting, Lauren skips back to her office to tell Whitney the good news.
