All drams, all the time...

Please add to the list of things I allow you to hate me for: I do not follow The Hills.

Embarrassing, I know, but I just never got into it when it started, and as it snowballed in popularity... I don't know, maybe I was too busy with every other reality show on teevee to pay attention.

I know some things (because I don't live under a rock)... I know what all the main characters look like, I know that Lauren and Heidi got in a feud that somehow involves Spencer, I know that Spencer Pratt is one of the most vile human beings alive on the planet... I mean of course I know these things, I'm an American.

Anyway, I was just as shocked and appalled as every other person on the face of the planet when I found out that Heidi married Spencer, and I've seen the last couple of episodes.

But I can't properly stop the hatin' on anything if I don't have a clear understanding of it, so I decided I should spend some time watching The Hills from the beginning. And man oh man. It is baffling.

I am only at the end of season one. I don't like it all that much but I feel like I must watch every episode. It seems like a puzzle. All I can think is how the fuck will Heidi transform from the nice (if out of touch) girl dating Jordan who is smart enough to see that Lauren's relationship with Jason is crap to the girl who has no friends and thinks it's a good idea to marry Spencer?

Seriously.

Other random observations:

-I hate Jason. I think that Lauren needs to date a Dan Humphrey type.

-Whitney totally rules. Definitely the most (and maybe only?) sympathetic character... and she seems really smart and good at stuff.

-Audrina is a weirdo. I kind of thought that Audrina was a character that only surfaced in the later seasons, I'm surprised to see that she's made it this long... I can't wait to see how she meets Justin Bobby. That's gonna be a total shit show.

Well, I have tons more Hills to watch.

Stay tuned for years late commentary on episodes you hardly remember.

Love you, haters!
