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?

  4. rach says – reply to this


    704

    because im just hoping someone will punch speidi…. i call bull shit when perez asked them if the show was fake on his reality stars show…. seriously, they wouldn't jeapordize their 'fame' or heidis attempt to conquer every hollywood occupation possible, actor, singer, designer…. she's talentless. whats next… is she running for governor?? does she even know what state she lives in?

    Yes I know it's fake, but it's has a pretty good story line:\ . IF THE CREW ON "90210" DID THE SAME THING, YOU WOULD HAVE EATEN IT UP!!

    obviously ppl were going to watch it, they pimped the shit out of it…
    ironic that audrina's naked pics came out a WEEK before the premiere?
    ironic that lauren and heidi have been on the cover of USweekly for the past month? nopeeeeee.

  13. Team Lauren says – reply to this

  14. CHERYL says – reply to this


    714

    IT WAS BORING! THE WORST EPISODE EVER. I CAN'T STAND LAUREN ANYMORE, SHE IRRITATES ME LIKE HOW PARIS HILTON IRRITATES ME. WHY ARE THEY FAMOUS AGAIN?

  15. LOVE LC says – reply to this


    715

    I LOVE LC LOVE LC LOVE LC LOVE LC

  16. erika says – reply to this


    716

    i am not an avid hills watcher… but i do wonder why HEIDI is still on that show. she's useless. the show is as fake as her boobs.

  17. Kat says – reply to this


    717

    My husband tivoed it because he thought it was The Riches. Once he realized his mistake we deleted it.

    720

    Even though I know half of it is staged and isn't true, I still am obsessed with the show. Monday's are my favorite night just because of the Hills crew. Sorry, I know - WACK!

  21. but what did bathog think says – reply to this


    721

    the show about nothing.

  22. kd says – reply to this


    722

    i can't stand watching heidi and spencer so i kind of tune them out or get a drink while they're on, but i have to admit i love lauren whitney and audrina… more so lauren. i just think people can sort of relate to her- not the rich factor, but the guy factor. granted i would never have played so hard to get w/ brody jenner ha….. but yeah we can relate to the guy drama

  23. kk says – reply to this


    723

    omg immmm soooo over this show

  24. Lara says – reply to this


    724

    I LOVE the Hills, its my favorite……..Lauren is beautiful, and the drama is awesome! Audrina SHAME ON YOU for talking to BACKSTABBING ALL FAKE BODY PARTS heidi………..EWWWWW
    Did anyone else see how HORRIBLE heidi's lips look and can someone please give her some food!

  25. sarah says – reply to this


    725

    yes i watch the hills hahaha its entertaining even if its not real just like gossip girl and when the oc was good

  26. Kim says – reply to this


    726

    Cause it was new and there was nothing else on!! ….Everything has been re-runs lately.

  27. keeks says – reply to this


    727

    I don't watch but just seeing Perez all the time, obviously the Lauren-Heidi rift has created team H v team L. That and people love to love or hate Spencer and Heidi for all their lame photo shoot opps and methodical PR stuff.
    Honestly, Perez, stop making Heidi and Lauren into even bigger stars by having every other post about them. They are not newsworthy. Take a stance in that. Even Lohan actually DID something, ditto for spear, Hayden P. all your other constant posts, but Spencer and Heidi dressed up in bunny ears for an Easter photo opp? Come on.

  28. Megan says – reply to this


    728

    I know it's fake, but I still watch it. :]

  29. Cassiopeia says – reply to this


    729

    I definitely don't think it's real but I also can't help but watch it. I LOVE all the drama! It's like a soap opera but with even bitchier characters. Plus watching Heidi's face and body get more and more ridiculous is entertainment in itself!

  30. Lamia says – reply to this


    730

    I only watched it because it was in Paris and I love Paris… other than that it is pretty much one of the worst television shows on television. I'd rather read Perez anyday than watch The Hills!

  31. megan says – reply to this


    731

  37. Rachel says – reply to this


    737

    I watched it because its one of my favorite shows! I absolutely hate Spencer and Heidi so I love to laugh at how retarded and hopeless they both are [especially together]. And I love Lauren. She's a lot smarter than people think she is and she's gonna be incredibly successful. Team LC :)

    740

    Okay, I've got enough drama in my own life… real of fake, it's totally nice to see someone else has more drama than me!! I love this show… LC was my favorite on L.B. and I was SO happy when she got her own show… I live in South Korea in the Military so I have to wait an extra day just so i can watch it online!! I love this show so much!!!!!!!

  41. Ranek says – reply to this


    741

    ok so the hills is not real and we've all accepted that now its just a funny drama and its addicting hey ure still blogging about them arent u

  42. Sandy says – reply to this


    742

    it is not real!! That premier was so scripted I about puked!! What about Heidi's huge top lip…disgusting…I kept thinking she had food stuck in there or something…and the whole boyfriend/dress set up with Lauren was so for show because without a script their time in Paris would have been a snooze.

  43. sarah says – reply to this

    749

    this show has become a secret addiction, totally embarrassed that I watch it! the only reason i ever checked it out, was because of your site! you rip on everyone- which i think is funny, but you get me curious of these talentless fools. totally your fault

  51. fo realz says – reply to this


    751

    We all know it is fake, but in a sense we've all grown up with Lauen. Shes my age, shes really really cute, and she seems like a good person. My second fav is Lo, because she was on Laguna Beach too… so yeah. Thats why peeps love the hills.

  52. Ashleigh says – reply to this

    754

    I can't fathom why anyone would want to watch that brainless crap. Who wants to hear bitchy girls whine about their problems? There are so many other better things I can do with my time. Hell, I dont even like the kind of girls who watch it. They are mostly like the people on the show.

  55. Juanita Banana says – reply to this

    757

    because Perez does, and because he tells me to!!!!

    but also because it's Monday night and there is not that much else on! but man I cannot stand Heidi!!!!!!!!

  58. Ashley says – reply to this

  59. Ummmyeah says – reply to this


    759

    I watch the hills for my weekly self esteem boost. I'm not necessarily a fan of any of them, but their wackness makes me feel better about actually earning all the gr8 things I work so hard for.

  62. Laura says – reply to this


    762

    Why did I watch? You told us (first) that they had to audition guys to "date" Lauren in Paris….I wanted to see what the d-bag looked like and laugh at the fact that he was hired to hang out with LC!

  63. Kels says – reply to this


    763

    I love the hills, it's so addictive. I know it might not be real, but what is these days?
    Also, Perez, I love your site. It beats buying Intouch and USweekly for 3 dollars!!
    Keep up the good work!

  64. Kristin says – reply to this


    764

    I hate to admit it and my husband HATES that i watch it but……….I LOVE IT! I am well aware that it is probably fake but I don't care; fake or real its still very entertaining :)

  65. krystel559 says – reply to this


    765

    umm i have to say that i do watch it weekly and for me i was not a laguna beach person, i think the girls lives are kinda silly wait not silly plain f****n dumb….it is entertaining to me.. imean come on are girls really like that i dont think so…maybe now you know ppl trying to be like their fav CHARACTER…not fav real person…fake fake fake fake come on when you have to reshoot shit it is not real….

  66. Alena says – reply to this


    766

    I always watch the show online when I have free time but it's def not my priority. The reason I was so anxious this time is because there's absolutely nothing else on tv right now.

  67. lala says – reply to this


    767

    You are such hypocrites though. You posted a post about The Hills saying OMG DID U WATCH THE HILLS. LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS. If you say "Why are people watching this" then why did you tune in the first place.
    Geez.

  68. S says – reply to this


    768

    Entertainment, dumbass!

  69. JC says – reply to this


    769

    I was on the verge of vomiting the whole episode but its painfully addicting… we all know its bullshit. They should make it all out scripted and then it wouldnt be as nauseating. Did you notice heidis make up cmon its just laughable

  70. Samantha says – reply to this


    770

    Why did I watch??? Well I watched 2 and half men, big bang theory, how I met your mother…had dinner…then intervention was a re-run on A&E so I tuned into the Hills….yeah I know normally I would be watching drug addicts go to rehab…so instead I watched the precurser to my own rehab…The Hills!

  71. motha what?! says – reply to this


    771

    lauren is soooooo boring. it's the people in her life that makes the show actually worth watching. even though it is soooo fake, they all have fucked up lives which is hilarious. mtv does such a good job with the teaser trailers for next week that everyone tunes in and just leads to a disappointment. i live in los angeles and they have casting calls for extras if they have to film early…so lame!

  72. vccv says – reply to this


    772

    Never watched it, and never will :) ))) I betcha the only reason y the ratings r so high is bcs a lot of teen girls r watching it.

  73. LK says – reply to this


    773

    because i love it. It is the best show out there. And I never coment on these things but this was a must.

  74. Kay says – reply to this


    774

    because of Mariah's performance, DUH!

  75. a$$ says – reply to this


    775

    i didn't. cuz that show is soooo lame. lauren's an idiot who designs ugly, over priced clothes, whitney is boring, and heidi has to be the cheeeeeziest person out there right now (bunny ears on easter? come on.)…only audrina is halfway decent and that's primarily cuz she looks good. the highest ratings of the nite?? seriously?! s.a.d.

  76. jai says – reply to this


    776

    guilty pleasure. & i ADORE watching pseudo-famous ppl trying to past themselves off as "A list" celebs.

    GET OVER YOURSELVES BITCHES!

  77. Aco says – reply to this


    777

    I watch the hills for the drama, I dont care if its fake. It's fun to watch people who are dumber than I am. But the main reason I watch The Hills is for the Aftershow, it's the best part of my week! I heart Dan&Jessi

  78. Emama says – reply to this


    778

    I love it and really can't live without it!! Ok, a little much there but seriously, I love all the (oh so real) drama!

  80. BMD says – reply to this


    780

    i watched it. i loved it. im a BIG fan of the show. i dont care if its fake, its worth watching it. its just amazing. when your a teenager you love shows like that, and yeah. well i think its good and laurens smile is UGLY. but i love the 'fake' drama with hidei and spencer i mean they werent really fighting i mean come on PEREZ they were at your party together happy AS EVER. so yeah .

  81. TOM says – reply to this


    781

    I watched for Mariah only.

  82. Wow says – reply to this


    782

    The Hills is retarded, its not interesting, try reading a book, or study, or go for a walk or something because the hills is garbage. They are the most boring people on the planet.

  83. Lolli says – reply to this


    783

    People Watch the show BECAUSE IT'S FAKE, RIDICULOUS, and c'mmon it's pure entertainment.

  84. ARi says – reply to this


    784

    i watch the hills because its good drama u can tell its kinda scripted but you watch it anyways~

  85. L says – reply to this


    785

    Even if it is a "scripted" reality show, it's an enjoyable trashy watch. It's edited in such a way that you want to know what these kids are doing and what's going to happen, especially with matters of the heart. Although I found it a very disappointing and boring episode considering the hype and was far too long.

    Pee Ess - why does everyone say first? Who cares? Have an opinion.

  86. Lisa says – reply to this


    786

    I watched it! I love it! I know it's mostly fake, but it's so entertaining!!

    idk Perez I just can't seem to stop watching it, I don't care if its real or not.

  89. Jaselle says – reply to this


    789

    The show is doing so well because you are promoting it on your site constantly dumbass LOL. If you and all the other blogs dropped the Hills that show would be nothing.

  94. LG says – reply to this


    794

    i agree its totally fake, i just watched it cause lauren and whitney went to paris and i was there a few days ago and thought it would be cool (:
    and just cause i love whitney

  95. Mary says – reply to this


    795

    Re: Phil – YES I also agree!! But it's mind numbing fun, at 1st I'd see what the hype was about, knowing it was dumb & now I'm hooked & also I'm a Pratt, so I wanted to see who this lil' puke was ruining the family name!!! hehehe

  96. tay says – reply to this


    796

    people like the show.. is it that hard to believe?

  97. sc says – reply to this


    797

    i watch it because it's idiots on parade…heidi and spencer are so ridiculous…lauren thinks she's a real celebrity…audrina is a dodo…and whitney has a cute voice lol

  98. snickerdoodle says – reply to this


    798

    i love this show even if it's staged or not. I'm so Team Lauren! I hate "Speidi" .. they get on my nerves. I sit and laugh at their pathetic relationship b/c i'm 100% sure it's fake. Has anyone noticed that Spencer looks like beavis & butthead?

  99. taqo says – reply to this


    799

    honestly?

    BECAUSE YOU TALK ABOUT IT SO FUCKING MUCH. LOL.

    I HAD TO SEE THE FAKE-NESS WITH MY OWN TWO EYES!
