The MTV show The Hills is fake. Everyone knows that. But up until recently, it was mostly a poorly kept secret. For the sake of the show’s razor-thin watchability, the pretense of reality was maintained. But with the new season premiere tonight, apparently a new tactic is being taken: bold but delusional honesty. Here is the show’s new star, Kristin Cavallari, talking about how the sausage is made (via WarmingGlow):
The ["Hills"] producers write to [Cavallari] with the storylines they have in mind. She shows up to the pre-selected locations for the episodes, which are shot Wednesday through Friday each week. And then she improvises, often going for the jugular on hot-button issues she knows will stir up controversy.
“They tell us what to talk about,” she said, shrugging. “Listen, I have fun with it. They film ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ the same way.”
“THEY FILM CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM THE SAME WAY.”
–Larry David’s Tombstone
Yikes. Although, she has a point, they’re basically exactly the same show. Remember that one episode of The Hills when Brody Jenner asked Richard Lewis to trade sandwiches with him when he didn’t like the sandwich that was named after him at the Jewish deli? Classic The Hills. And then there is this famous episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, which, although it does not feature Kristin Cavallari, is based on Kristin Cavallari:
The size of Kristin Cavallari’s vagina is inversely related to the size of her conception of her own talent. (Math is hard, but math is true.)

So you are saying that she has a tiny vagina?
No, No, huge dick.
I upvoted you both, but DS3M wins this round.
Thanks for all the publicity, Leno!
lolololololololol! See, this is why we shouldn’t block people with double users. We miss out on this stuff.
I’m willing to accept that The Hills is the uncircumcised equivalent of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I wish I had an above-ground pool
Can you imagine Richard Lewis on The Hills?
I would watch that show for infinity.
Kristin Cavallari: beloved cunt.
Um… this whole idea of “Retroscripting” came around from Dr. Katz Professional Therapist and Home Movies. The voice actors had a basic premise to work with, some lines were scripted but there was a lot of ad lib. I wouldn’t put The Hills in the same pigeonhole as Home Movies or Curb. It’s not what you do but how well you do it. And it looks like the Hills is doin’ it wrong.
Was that Mo Collins? Seriously now.
This video is my favourite thing you’ve ever posted!
Relax.
Looks like Gabe Shrugged.
Math is hard? Like making a genuinely astute comment that doesn’t just act as a platform for an out of context shot at another show is hard?…featuring aynrandian!
I like this game.
Videogum is the most dangerous threat to aynrandian’s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of downvotes against legally disarmed monsters.
I believe that the correct terminology is “relax, technojeremy.” Where hav you been? Videogum keeps happening, but I keep staying the same age.
