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?

    109

    I love The Hills. In some way, shape or form…every girl can relate to a storyline. I don't care if it's not 100% real, it's still entertaining.

    BUT, the main reason I watch is…BRODY JENNER! ;) He might be a man whore, but he's a fuckin HOT himbo!

    everyone knows it's fake but it's still fun to watch and not have to really think…it becomes kind of addicting (which maybe some celebs should watch it instead of being addicted to other things)

    116

    I watched it because it was the only thing semi-interesting that was on.

    But i only watched it for like 30 mins and then got sick of it.

    It seems uber fake.

  17. cohenisababe says – reply to this


    117

    heidi is SO photoshopped in.

  18. LC Is Going Down Hill says – reply to this


    118

    I am from the OC so I got hooked on Laguna Beach so it was natural to follow LC to LA. It was fun watching her grown up & work through the old relationships she had in Laguna. I admit I also like seeing what she was wearing. She just had really good appeal. However, I don't like her anymore. I think she is just trying too hard to be some sort of fashion icon. Now a lot of her styles looks lame & forced. I also hat that braid she is porting. I think she puts herself first & makes poor decisions regarding work & boys. Mondays episode made her look like a stupid spoiled little girl. Let me get my gown first, let me wear it to a smoky club, let me ruin it & not even apologize to the designer or offer to pay for it but simply have my friend ask for another one. I am over LC.

  25. bob says – reply to this


    125

    What the heck would someone have been watching on MTV to have left the television running and tuned to that channel? Re-runs of Pimp My Road Rules RV Deathmatch?

  26. Shan says – reply to this


    126

    I watched it because its entertaining. Although I know it is not real, I watch it for entertainment purposes only. Same reason I would watch any sitcom.

  27. Lynzey02 says – reply to this

  29. Jose says – reply to this


    129

    I don't think people really care if it's fake or not. I sure don't mind that it's fake. I just think of it as a drama series instead of a reality show.

  50. Jennifer says – reply to this


    150

    I watch the Hills because of all the pretty palm trees! Living in Canada where the snow just doesn't seem to go away isn't always fun, the pretty coloring and great fashion reminds me that there is such a thing called grass….Oh and Perez, would you like to come help me shovel all the global warming off of my driveway?

  69. LG says – reply to this


    169

    I wonder the same thing….watching the show makes me want to throw up a little bit…..though then again, i just watched Alice in Wonderland again last night. I'll never grow up (promise), or if i do, i hope to dear god i'm not like them….off to neverland….

  70. lulu says – reply to this


    170

    yea i watched it and i thought i had just wasted an hour of my life but hey it was 2 in the morning and nothing better was on

  71. so what? says – reply to this


    171

    i watched because everyone else watched. but i couldnt agree more, it is sooo scripted and fake, esp. the dress part where it got "burnt" by the curling iron…. so fake, it was like wannabe cinderella themed… but i watched just to see what the fuss was all about… i think thats why most ppl watched actually and oh yeah to see moo moo perform too! Moo moo is such a hater she only sacrificed her self and put her pride aside and was there because she wants her single to go to number one! and she needs all the viewers to go download her shit, trust me other wise she would have no asscociation w/ the hills whatsover!

  72. Iceyy says – reply to this


    172

    Honestly i have no idea why i watched it. i met brody in person he has to be the cockiest guy ive ever shared a pathetic picture with. he swears hes hott and if its for his stuck up manager frankie he makes prince look attractive. anyways point is the hills is faker than pamela's boobs. gorgeous women. bad acting skills.

    sincerely, iceyy

  73. Rea says – reply to this


    173

    Even though I know it's fake…. I just can't stop watching it. And my friends agree. We know it's not real life but we just still LOVE all the scripted drama!
    That's why we watch it :D

  84. Caitie says – reply to this


    184

    i watch… i watch because its so absolutely rediculous that my human nature almost wants me to believe that it is real. when really, how on earth do they manage such amazing camera angles when the show is so "reality" based. i think the real issue with this show is the fact that someone has useless as heidi actually got herself a record deal and music video as shitty and homemade as it was. her music video was more reality tv than the actual show is. maybe from now on they should just get spence to film the show, at least than we can believe its actually reality.

    Heartbreak, Romance, Eifel Tower, Banging Soundtrack, Glitz and Glamour and Drama all in ONE episode!

    people like gossip. we like drama. real or scripted, its good. catches our attention. so nowadays, with SO MANY reality tv shows..who cares how real or fake it is!

    i think ur ugly and need a stylist, but i like reading ur posts…so we have reasons to why we read and watch what we do.

    F*CK HEIDI!
