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?

    because it's so fake that its hilarious. i watch so can laugh along with the aftershow. that's the best part…mtv canada's hills aftershow.

    heidi & spencer are entertaining. they make the show interesting. the rest is boring. LC is a hyprocritical bitch, Audrina is a dumb slut & Whitney is just a *yawn*.

    The show needs more LO.

    I'M 307 BITCHES!!!
    [Sarcasm]
    I only watch it, cuz it's funny to me. And the premiere was stupid to me, so I didn't really watch it, just back and forth between another show.

  8. aryianna says – reply to this


    308

    I know its stupid and entirely not real, but its retardly entertaining. That and the L word season just ended and LC is the closest thing to lesbian drama on tv right now….

  9. Millz says – reply to this


    309

    Yo cheak it out The Hills is my all time favourite show followed by degrassi anyway back to The Hills BEST F–ING SHOW EVER you better believe it I love it weither it is fake or not

  10. Holly says – reply to this


    310

    Maybe if you would stop talking about these losers and their fake reality show people wouldn't have watched it and the stupid show would be cancelled by now. Are they paying you or just kissing your butt????? Who cares is Heidi (ho-bag) has a new song out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP GIVING THEM ADVERTISING ON YOUR SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. neli says – reply to this


    311

    i watched for mariaaaaaaah!!
    LOVE HER

  12. Rachel says – reply to this


    312

    yeah….i went to my friends' house and we watched it together!

  13. g says – reply to this


    313

    It is PURE entertainment…staged or not. I LOVE it.

  14. FRENCHGUY says – reply to this


    314

    and why did u watch this u?
    seriously, stop blaming lauren and the show, it's not scripted as you tell, they just react.
    or is it frustration and jealousy cause lauren is pretty, smart, and loved by all these fans who watched her show on monday night.
    Why did people watched? cause it was an important episod, everybody knew she was going on a trip to paris this is the reason why there is a bigger audiance than usualy.
    you're funny the most part of time but when your gay frustration appear in your articles it is sad, and quite pathetic
    sorry if a made (grammatical) mistakes, but i just wanted to say that, despite the fact that i know you won't read, or won't take time to answer. (i understand, you're busy spreading rumors and being an amazing blogger

  15. Elaine says – reply to this


    315

    I don't really care if its real or not. I love the drams on that show. The element that it might be real or somewhat real makes it even more appealing. I mean, pro wrestling is fake as hell and yet millions of people watch that..so I guess Hills is the same way.
    now if Audrina would just jump off the top rope and land on Heidi, then the ratings would REALLY hit an all time high.

  16. LC Rocks! says – reply to this


    316

    Team L.C!!
    Love Whitney, love The Hills!!

  17. Chris says – reply to this


    317

    I watch it because it deals with alot of petty, and real, issues that arise between friends. While the characters are all hyperbolic with their acting, each represents a unique, and sometimes extreme, point of view. I wouldn't say the show is tastefully done, but it does reflect what alot of what young, upper middle class friend cliques go through.

  18. lee says – reply to this


    318

    looove the hilllsss cuz itsss sooooo much drammaa! love lauren and love the drama heidi and spencerr have!

  19. Jackie says – reply to this


    319

    I can't believe that people view Lauren as a role model. For the love of god, what does that girl DO? She designs average clothes and sells them at prices that are way too high, spends obscene amounts of money on extremely shallow things (hair, makeup, etc.), and allows her boring life to be filmed for MTV just for her fifteen minutes. I can't possibly see where a role model lies within that.

  20. T$ says – reply to this


    320

    I watch The Hills because regardless of how real or fake it is I lovvvve it… I know people say it is fake but some of the things they do and say are things that girls do. And of course in hopes that there would be a scene or two with BRODYYY!

  21. carly says – reply to this


    321

    i pretty much just watch the hills because i love laurens style and i watch to see whats hes wearing and then copy it.. haahhha
    buttttalot of my friends do it toooo

  22. TXlawgirl says – reply to this


    322

    Because it is pure entertainment! Lauren is living the dream life all us girls wish we had lived at her age! (or at least we wanted to be friends with someone like her to get all the benefits that Lo and Audrina get.) We know they push storylines, etc. But who cares? This isn't PBS for chrissakes! It's MTV. Der. The only complaint is how obvious Heidi and Spencer's pushing of the storylines is! They are BAD actors! Don't kill me, but I actually kind of like Heidi. But, but, but Spencer is the biggest douche of all time and not at all entertaining to watch. He's not the guy we love to hate either. He's just annoying. The Hills needs a new bad-guy, I think!

  23. joey says – reply to this


    323

    who cares if its scripted?
    girls are bangin and the scenes are sick

  24. Braxton says – reply to this


    324

    325

    its a funny ass shhow to make fun of

  26. Jill says – reply to this


    326

    It is mindless entertainment.

  27. christina says – reply to this


    327

    ok. first of all i love the hills. No matter how fake it is. I feel that its great entertainment. I've been watching luarn since her day on Laguna Beach.
    …its addicting what can i say

  28. 43242 says – reply to this


    328

    BEcause Lauren is a dumb slut, and too funny.

    OMG the curling Iron!!!
    "The curling iron does that?"

    What dumb bitches. Whitney, you suck. You're not dumb. Stop pretending to be.

  29. mcgooe says – reply to this


    329

    the glam… insight into what the life would be like

    and the hot boys.. not spencer tho.

    331

    we dont care if the hills is real or not, we just loveee watching itt!!!!! LOTS of things on tv and lots of 'reality shows' arent real but who caress???? the hills is the greatest

  32. aam says – reply to this


    332

    it is a glorified mary-kate and ashley movie

  33. Stephanie says – reply to this


    333

    I tivo'd it and watched it later. I thought it sucked. Lauren is an idiot and Whitney is boring. The "drama" they're trying to create about Heidi and Spencer is stupid because we all know they're fine now. Ridic.

  34. lalala says – reply to this


    334

    i loveeeeeee the hills
    i watch it cause i just love looking at brody jenner
    hes fine.

  35. nicole says – reply to this


    335

    I know it's set up, and not completely real, but I watch it cause of the drama…it's very addicting to see who's gonna hook up or break up.

  36. Christa says – reply to this


    336

    It seemed a lot more staged than before, but who doesn't love a train wreck?

  37. PETA says – reply to this


    337

    I know I watched it because I wanted to see Paris. I changed the channel when it's Spencer and Heidi in Colorado, they bore me. No one gives a rat ass they break up or not. My friends watched The Hills because they want to see what they wear.

  38. Jess says – reply to this


    338

    i love how stupid they all are
    it makes me feel better when watching and relating it to the dumb overprivlagived girls i know

  39. Shannon says – reply to this


    339

    I did NOT watch it, therefore it makes no sense to me.

  40. Tommy says – reply to this


    340

    I watch it so I can make fun of it so much in hopes of getting my sister to stop watching it..

    I HATE THIS SHOW!! Why do people watch it?

  41. Perezreader says – reply to this


    341

    Come on perez even we now you watch the show. Every one nows its a good show with drama and shit in it.

  42. dina says – reply to this


    342

    its one of those "its so bad its good" shows. While I watch my friends and I chat online and make fun of all the girls and Spencer most of all. We also look for all of the staged parts…oh wait thats the entire show!!…by the way, the premiere really sucked..

  43. yo says – reply to this


    343

    THE HILLS IS THE MOST MOST FUCKING STUPIDEST SHOW EVER.PERIOD.

  44. Haydee says – reply to this


    344

    As far as Im concerned, its the best guilty pleasure out there…in my dorm Monday nights are "the hills" nights and every girl on campus is in the common room glued to the screen.

  45. mmmmmm says – reply to this


    345

    I watched it online because I did not have time to watch it on tv.

    I know it's fake, but I watch it as if it were a soap opera with young ladies instead of old ones….

    It's pretty entertaining…

  46. becca says – reply to this


    346

    love it. Team lauren

  47. sd says – reply to this

    ITS A GUILTY PLEASURE……..LIKE 90210 BACK IN THE DAY LOL

  49. matt says – reply to this


    349

    coz its fun, wheres the harm. Save your persecution for Brit Brit (=junky, shit mother and all round skank) Amy Wino (=her name says it all) and Heath (RIP=Ridiculously Injected sicko). The Hills is what it is, nothing mo nothing less, and its not you a 30 year old like you Perez! Leave the criticism to its target audience.

    and addictive.

  52. Riley says – reply to this

    Perez I Love You! Listen… Everybody knows this show is crap and not completely true. However, it's like a train wreck… You can help but watch it.

  59. Melissa says – reply to this

    LOVES the hills….best show ever….even if it is fake

  60. Erik says – reply to this


    360

    It's just entertaining. We all know it's not real but if you just take it as a sitcom it's fun to watch

  61. K-Swan says – reply to this


    361

    Haha! Well, we all know it's fake.
    My husband and I watch it sometimes simply to make fun of how pathetic it is.

    Plus, now I'm sure people are watching it to watch Heidi in all her cheestastic glory.

  62. ljbc46 says – reply to this


    362

    I watched it only for mariah's performance. Mariah sooooo hooooot :P
    I feels thats generaly why its rating increased all the 'lambs' out there tuned in!!
    I got nothin against the show, just not my thing.

  63. jenny says – reply to this

    368

    I watch the hills because I am in love with Audrina….and because if there is a 100% chance of seeing hot, dumb broads parade around the globe I'm going to watch it.

  69. kat says – reply to this


    369

    yes I watched it, and I was appalled how fake it was! I really do think that whitney and lauren were reading off of cue cards…their voices were SO flat. it was embarrassing

  70. Caroline says – reply to this


    370

    Because I love it! A lot of people can relate. It is the dramatized version of what real drama goes on in their lives! Its fun and keeps you guessing. Cool girls.

  71. Ellie says – reply to this


    371

    i watch bc the amount of fake is so extreme its funny

  72. LinLin says – reply to this


    372

    i watch it bc i heart Brody Jenner!

  73. Dana says – reply to this


    373

    i watch the show because i watched laguna beach the first season and every one after - i feel like i know the characters really well and its like watching them grow up in a way. its like i dont care if its fake, the characters are 'people' that ive come to know and love, and some love to hate.

  74. typical pretty young thing says – reply to this


    374

    I watch because it is fun to watch. I love the drama between Heidi and Spencer. I have a girl-crush on Audrina. Lauren is annoying though, and Whitney's legs scare me.

  75. real or fake-it's a good trashy mindless guilty pleasure says – reply to this


    375

    agreed! "because it's good, albiet mindless trashy guilty pleasure, whether or not it's real…" kind of like perez's stupid blog. who are you to judge anyone perez? (you're such a sell out)
    YES!!! you've gotta laugh at how stupid heidi and spence are… WTF? is up with her inflated lips, silicone boobs and narrow nose. spencer created one of the girls he was flirting with/messing around with when they first started hooking up. she looks just like a typical hollywood/LA bimbo. she'll be rockin' the cover of playboy soon I'm sure. which will be the peak of her career and "a Big triumph for her."

    376

    train wreck.

  77. Canadian says – reply to this


    377

    good question why do i watch the hills ? mostly because it is funny to see what the writers come up with and try to pull as reality tv i mean most of the time it is a joke. because really if lauren didn't have the show in laguna than she wouldn't have friends like brody and she most likely wouldn't have her own fashion line right now so really i don't know !!!

  78. meghan says – reply to this


    378

    i had the tv on MTV while playing game

  79. Prncess Courtney says – reply to this


    379

    I dont care if the hills is real or not. its a great drama show. its better than anything else on right now. like flavor flav and college hill

  80. Joey says – reply to this


    380

    People complaining about the show being fake… all TV is fake so it is no different than anything else you would watch. It is a crappy show when compared to fake programs that have writers because every single person on the show is missing a chromosome or 2

  81. kat says – reply to this


    381

    HELLO NO. its about stupid, brainless, pathetic,fake, least down to earth people ever, talentless, fame mongering sluts.

  82. laura says – reply to this


    382

    The only reason everybody watches it, is because there's nothing elses better on tv. all the shows suck now after the writer's strike. As soon as other shows come back up such as Heroes and Prison Break not as many people will be watching The Hills anymore…

  83. asdfadsfsadf says – reply to this


    383

    I think even though everyone pretty much knows its not real, its still a fun show to watch just because its funny to see all the drama.

  84. JR says – reply to this


    384

    Its all about Audrina…..shes so beautiful

  85. Your Daddy says – reply to this


    385

    You also have to take into account that a lot of people are on spring break from teens to college kids so you have a lot of viewers that don't have much to do and with no good shows on the other channels it comes down to watching the so ever fake The Hills.
    To top it of MimI is hot so that pulled a good crowd who would not usually watch the show.

  86. Suzie says – reply to this


    386

    real or not I genuinely enjoy watching The Hills… I watch Lost and Grey's though it's not real and still enjoy them, drama is drama.. beautiful girls, handsome men (more or less..) what's not to like?!

  90. ferosh says – reply to this


    390

    OMG, I watched the show and I felt like a jack ass. I really wanted to watch it for the beautiful scenes of Paris and hoped to see some of the Crillon Ball, but of course the cut out anything worth seeing. I think MTV intentionally ruined that Alberta Ferretti dress, too… that pissed me off so bad! But Whitney and LC acted like a bunch of god damn robots, while Heidi looked even more plastic than before. That show's a joke, and while I slightly enjoyed last season, this season seems so rehashed and boring.

  91. Jocie says – reply to this


    391

    If it aint real, it's pretty much a reality to me. I used to have the greatest bbf but she met this guy who now controls her life! we can't even look at eachother more. I think that's why I'm so hooked on it!! I hate her bf like I hate Spencer!!

  92. Emily!!! says – reply to this
