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?

      I started watchin The Hills because I watched Laguna Beach until it ended.I was curious to see what it would be like.I always rooted for Kristen in the L.C.,Stephen,and Kristen love triangle.I have grown to like Lauren,although she could be less "girlscoutish".

      Spencer reminds me of that kid from Jerry Maguire.He has a big mushroom head and chicklet teeth.He and Heidi are jus milkin the fifteen.Give it time and people won't even know the ever existed.

      i watched. i think people watch b/c it's a more glamorous version of their own lives. also, it may be scripted, but it's somewhat based it reality, and with all the media coverage of the stars of the show, it's like getting an inside glimpse into what's "Really" going on.

      but of course. the drama… and lc, with jwahl and brody.. that's all.

      I watch it and like it like I would any TV drama, whether it's real or not. If the story line is tampered with, who cares!! It's just a story, but the one thing that makes it just a little more real is that these people really do live in these places and visit these places and really do have honest emotional connections with the cast members. They're not rehearsing line by line or sitting in a created set on the WB, so that part makes it different. So stop sweating if it's real or not, just enjoy it for its entertainment purposes!!

      1319

      I enjoy watching LC making a fool out of herself. What FASHION DESIGNER burns a couture gown with a curling iron? I bet she has a team designing for her like all other celebrities. She's lame. Dumb rich girls from orange county.

      1320

      Umm…Did anyone else notice Heidi's lips? LMAO! Did she get a collagen injection in them? And I noticed her doing the "fish-cheeks" too. I don't like Spencer, but I felt bad for him when Heidi was being nasty to him in front of her parents. Who does she think she is anyway? And she said on the Ryan Seacrest show the other day that she is a virgin…LIAR.

      1331

      i watch it for fashion, hair and makeup advice. the story are obv fabricated but the styling is great!

    32. Jamie says – reply to this


      1332

      Part of me knows that it is scripted, and the other part of me still hopes that it isn't completely made up. Anyway, it is addicting.

      i love whitney she is so SWEET, cute etc.

    35. Ben says – reply to this


      1335

      Fully aware that it's not real. It's convenient that The Hills went on hiatus the same time as the writer's strike, hmm? I think not.
      Regardless, why do we watch any good dramedy? Simply for the (simple) entertainment.

    36. cb27 says – reply to this


      1336

      Because its SO fun to make fun of the whole cast!

      Because to see people having a major melt down over something as little as a disagreement is funny. I have meltdowns when I have to make the choice of paying my light bill or my water bill!

      1342

      Can't help it…I'm addicted to that show. I'm relatively normal in every other way. I can't explain it.

    43. Mia says – reply to this


      1343

      Seriously, I think people watch it for the lifestyle. Come on, everyone of us wants to be rich, young, pretty and living in ritzy Hollywood. Without a care in the world, just time to waste with frivolous "problems". Trendy "job" and seemingly endless sums of money. And sure, there is an element of realness there, like it could be true, so it just might happen to anyone.

      1344

      Honestly….this is sad but when I was in high school I watched every episode of Laguna Beach and I just feel obligated to watch The Hills to see whats happening with Lauren….so sad!

      1350

      FFFFFFAAAAKKKKEEEEE!!!! I have one of the most biggest evidence that The Hills is fake…they go to France.. and the guy Lauren likes smokes INSIDE bars and clubs..which is ILLEGAL in France! meaning it is set up because Americans assume that all French people smoke and they have to have that in the show. FFFAAAAAKKKKKEEEEEE
