The Hills Reach A Record High

Filed under: TV News > MTV

hillsmain1__opt.jpg

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.

    1307

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

    1308

    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!!

    1309

    i watch it because it's better than watching all those damn reality competition shows… it's the way todays generation does drama

    Recently ive been hearing it's fake.. guess what i don't wanna know!!!! that ruins it for me….i think heidi and spencer part is totally fake for real..they even admitted on an interview that they live with spencer's parents and they just use that house to tape!!! all else im still believen is real…all the way from the laguna days mtv has also admitted if somethin happened and they were not there for it they simply just tape it..anyways cant wait for the 2nd episode…sincerely die hard hills fan **

    1318

    guilty pleasure plan and simple. plus i love watching spencer and heidi pretend to be so much in love….its so hilarious.

  19. Lame says – reply to this


    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.

  20. SMW says – reply to this


    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.

  30. Omar says – reply to this


    1330

    LOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! I REALLY don't think ANYONE cares if its real or fake. Its not our life so why the heck should it matter??!?!?! …and its hella better then any "scripted" show on TV right now anyways.

  31. Tina says – reply to this


    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.

  33. M says – reply to this


    1333

    love it!!

  34. jess says – reply to this


    1334

    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!

  37. ANONYMOUS says – reply to this


    1337

    WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE, THE HILLS IS THE DUMBEST SHOW I HAVE EVER WATCHED. MY IQ DROPPED TO ABOUT -50 AFTER WATCHING IT, SO I GUESS THAT EXPLAINS IT…. BRAINLESS ZOMBIES.

  38. Christina says – reply to this


    1338

    umm the show is addicting .. i follow lauren from laguna beach… lame i know.. but its like once you start its hard to stop believe me i tried. plus i feel like i can relate to alot of the stuff going on in the show wither its fake or not…
    plus they wear cute clothes.. and then i copy them lol

  39. Marissa says – reply to this


    1339

    I love Lauren. Despite what many magazines say about her she is my favorite cast member.

  40. Nena says – reply to this


    1340

    Love the dramz.

    Oh and some of the outfits are cute.

  41. nikki says – reply to this


    1341

    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!

  42. judy says – reply to this


    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.

  44. Lacie says – reply to this


    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!

  45. Anna says – reply to this


    1345

    I don't.
    It's a waste of money and time, it's retarded. xD

  46. LOWDOWN says – reply to this


    1346

    Cuz it is funny and they went to paris. i also just see it to see the fashion. her line sucks but she wears cute things.

  48. fw says – reply to this


    1348

  49. lauren says – reply to this


    1349

    i love the hills. the drama, the lifestyle is different from new york…interesting. HATE SPENCER & how dumb heidi can be because of spencer. LOVE LC, audrina, lo, and Whitney

  50. kataaaaah says – reply to this


    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
