The Hills Reach A Record High

Filed under: TV News > MTV

Is this surprising news??????

The ratings are in and…..

The season premiers of The Hills was the highest rated telecast for cable all year long so far!

It was also the highest rated episode ever of The Hills.

It even beat out broadcast television channels with the highest ratings for the night!

The premiere averaged over 4.7 million viewers.

WTF?!?!

Are all these people seriously watching the show?

Or did everyone just leave the house with MTV playing on their TV.

After the premiere, the performance by Mariah Carey resulted in an over 180% increase from the regular ratings in that normal time slot.

Even MTV online received record highs, with an increase of 29% of people going online to stream the episode. MTV.com delivered a staggering 2.2 million streams.

Do people actually watch the show because they think it's real or why?

Let us know please!

Why did U watch The Hills?

      29

      I didnt watch it….. People just like this show I guess. I think most people take it as a regular show with characters playing a part. It's a interesting plot.

    30. Polly says – reply to this


      30

    33. ana says – reply to this


      33

      it's addicting!!!! plus, i love seeing how fabulous their makeup and clothing are. and it's a nice distraction from ones own reality.

      41

      First bitches

    42. kweth says – reply to this


      42

      Umm, we all know the Hills is fake, but seeing things like Elodie verbally bitch slapping Heidi's ass in Season 2 or Spenser making a fool of himself is heartwarming. And I will admit, Lo is just about the greatest thing since 99 cent Double Cheeseburgers.

    43. Jodit says – reply to this


      43

      I seriously watch it cause there's no better shows in Sweden.. sad but true.

      46

      I actually just like the show. I know its mostly fake but I still enjoy it. It's a guilty pleasure I guess.

    47. jules says – reply to this


      47

      lauren is awesome, she has such a bad rep for some reason. it doesnt make sense, I guess its because she isnt a coke head, a friend of paris,nicole or lidsays. shes trying hard to make the most of her life, she needs to be appluaded.

    48. sarita says – reply to this


      48

      because Lauren is cute

    49. germ says – reply to this


      49

      probably cause u keep on posting about them, perez. just ignore them and soon ppl will 4get

    50. Nessa says – reply to this


      50

      Just another guilty pleasure! We realize dramas aren't real either…but we get sucked into those as well. It's the same concept, only there's no after school special hidden moral message. Viva la mindless entertainment!

    51. Kelsey says – reply to this


      51

      we definitely watch it because there is so much drama. whether its fake or not, everyone need a certain dose of drama in their lives. haha

    52. lk says – reply to this


      52

      I LOVE THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!

    53. brooke. :) says – reply to this

      57

      em I watch it coz it is fun and u get to see all these celebrities like brody jenner and LC…I think its kind off real..some of it may be oveeeer acting …but I dont care…I also like seeing the fashion the girls wear..its really cute and they are style icons I think

    58. coffee lover says – reply to this


      58

      wtf?

    59. LoLo says – reply to this


      59

      FIRST!
      The Hills sucks you in…real or not. Plus, it was in Paris!

    60. Who cares says – reply to this


      60

      I watch it b/c its entertaining. Not because I think its real or fake, but b/c it passes time.

    61. pry says – reply to this


      61

      to see if i can figure out what the hell is going on here….are these people acting or pretending not to act or making shit up as they go along…the whole thing is baffling

    62. Mack Daddy says – reply to this


      62

      Of course not.
      I like real television
      but i love heidi

    67. Audrina says – reply to this


      67

      Admit it, you watched because of my fake titties that I got when I was 18

    68. daphne says – reply to this


      68

      cos whether its real or not, the stories are great to follow.

    69. Lady says – reply to this


      69

      I watch it like you watch the mother of a little kid throwing a fit in the store….It's horrible, yet oh so entertaining.

    70. Ashlo see eye says – reply to this


      70

      unfortunately even though its FaKE its addicting i love fashion but idk i like the drama

    71. Bree says – reply to this


      71

      The Hills rocks!! It's so totally fake and over the top it's hilarious!
      I like to think of it more as a comedy rather than reality..

      Go Team Heidi.. Kick that self righteous whining Laurens ass - but seriously lay off the singing!

    72. junk says – reply to this


      72

      All TV is fake thats why we watch it. I watch Gossip girl and i know its fake, I watch Lost & Heroes and I know thats really really fake. The hills is just mindless entertainment and gives us on the other side of the continent a taste of Los Angeles….LA is a whole 'nother world.

    73. rikstny says – reply to this


      73

      I watched it because I'm addicted to it even though I know it's BS. It's highly entertaining.

    86. Kris says – reply to this


      86

      I don't watch the show because I think it's real, it's TELEVISION! Everything is arranged at one point. I just like the show, that's it.

    90. bob says – reply to this


      90

      i watch it because its amusing, even if its real,, half real or totally fake its interesting to watch

    91. Jazzy fizzle... says – reply to this


      91

      i admit i did watch it but quickly turned it after the "show" that was shown during the commercial with alicia keys in it…. i think it was called fresh take or something like that…

    92. Georgi says – reply to this


      92

      sure it's predictable, but you have to understand a lot of us have been with LC since Laguna Beach. We're invested at this point. You can't beat the drama and I cannot WAIT to see what happens with Stephen. These are a lot of issues that many of us deal with, these girls just get to do it in a more glamorous manner.

    93. Victoria L. says – reply to this


      93

      i watch the hills becuase i love how it is reality television mixed with very good camera skills, ligting and even very good story plots…its like reality tv with plastic surgery…ive been a relgious viewer of the show since it started and its amazing

    94. kelly says – reply to this


      94

      1st! ha ha!

      I cant stand this show, but somehow I am totally sucked into it…I hate it, I hate Heidi, I hate spencer, but somehow I keep watching…it's like crack!

    99. Kat says – reply to this


      99

      I did watch the premiere, but only cause I was at my friends house and they were watching it. I have never really been a fan of the show.

    100. allie says – reply to this


      100

      i just watch it because idk. its just fun to weatch other peoples lives get messy instead of your own for a change. plus tons of juicy gossip, dram and everything just make it funny. idc if its real or not. i mean i watch and am in love with greys anatomy. its fake so it doesnt really matter to me.
