The Hills East Coast???
Filed under: Reality TelevisionWord on the street is that MTV is said to be testing out the waters and developing a Hills-like "reality" show based in Washington, D.C.
Goodbye Hollywood - hello politics!
Thoughts????

tea party the old money way…
This is defo true. The main girl (who was supposedly threatening to hold out on her contract if she wasn't made the "LC" of the show) is a girl who goes by the name of "KK." She's extremely vapid and has a seriously inflated sense of self-worth. She has an eco friendly fashion blog and gallivants around Georgetown spending her father's internet fortune. She is also a self-proclaimed "jersey chaser" and has dated mediocre athletes all over the city — rumor now is she's dating a professional LACROSSE player. Yeah, those fuckers exist around here. Sad. All you people bitching about California being better, maybe this will shut your traps — the girl is from Palo Alto. She recently moved away from DC to London to attend LSE, but came back only after a couple months. The theory amongst "the scene" (as LNS refers to their small, preppy Georgetown community) is that she stays here and loves it because she gets attention she wouldn't be able to get anywhere else. We all find it hilarious that this attention may finally give her some fame — go figure, it's reality fame, a fame that doesn't require any talent whatsoever. More than fitting.
Ew - The east coast is so gross.
Love Cal.
Also, everyone arguing about what area of the country is richer (get worse, seriously) — from Wiki: "Fairfax County is the most populous jurisdiction in the Greater Washington Area and has the highest median household income ($100,318, the first to reach six figures) of any county in the United States, recently surpassing its neighbor, Loudoun County.[2]" Now, if any of you had brains, you would realize this means the gaps between in the wealthy and less fortunate. It's MEDIAN household income. If you live in Southern California, yes, there are some extremely wealthy people, but there are also LOTS of very poor immigrants (and struggling artists … haha). This brings down your median income number. So, just get over it and realize we're all rich assholes that fight about who has more money. Ah, life in these United States!
Actually, I retract my previous post — I was thinking average income. "The median household income is commonly used to provide data about geographic areas and divides households into two equal segments with the first half of households earning less than the median household income and the other half earning more.[1] The median income is considered by many statisticians to be a better indicator than the average household income as it is not dramatically affected by unusually high or low values."[2]"
lmaooooooo…i live in d.c..i wouls def. ruin the show by popping up everywhere…great idea tho…its so much shit to do in d.c
Yes it's true. They are going to start filming at Vineyard Vines and follow the "Young and the Guestlist" Scenesters to thire favorite watering holes to see who is on The List!
Once inside they will be documenting the OPHJ's and USFB's on the SPDF and the GRDF. Secret cameras will be installed in the SPWC to see what happens when people stop being polite and get real.
Episode One is tenatively titled "Murder on the Dance Floor". The credits will of course play Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"
The show is actually less like "The Hills" and more like "Survivor" The whole show is based on who can get to Poundtown first.
Now for anyone who can't translate what was written above please before posting stupid comments on the A Forum read the "Crash Course", take a lap, and then go jump off the Key Bridge!
ewww…DC is lame! They should do a show in nyc…..about a group of girls in the fashion industry again (it IS the best industry!) Im thinking lets have one of the girls go to FIT!!!!
They should do The Hills spin-off on the shoreline in connecticut.I live in clinton, its only an hour away from NYC and the surrounding towns are the snottiest,most stuck up places i have ever been to in my life.Not to mention CT is the richest state in the U.S. All the young teens/young adults here love to spend mommy and daddys money.Im from L.A, CT is definetly a big change. If the show came here, it would not be a disappointment to all the people who love watching spoiled brats get whatever they want.
GENIUS!
Thank god I'm moving out of D.C. in two months…
OMG NO. this will totally BLOW!
The girls will be just like the LA girls but UGLIER AND JEWISH! EW EW EW EW EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
wow is all I can say…I'm from Potomac, MD in Moco and let me tell you I graduated from this area and there is plenty of drama and rich kids to have a reality show just like The Hills….it would kinda be funny to have a show in the DC area cause this is where I grew up! bring it onn
They should come to Toronto and film me and my friends!! WE scream entertainment!!!!!!!!!
Love love love the idea! Not because I like the Hills but because DC is such a great city!
like 2 years ago they were in the works with a Long Island prep school and a group of friends there in efforts to to make a show (east coast version)
they even had the students meet wiht some of the members of \(laguna beach it was at the time)
i think long island is a better setting then washington D.C
Ok well im sick of watching spoiled brats having reality shows,how are they real again??anyways they should cast real people that have actual real drama in their lives,not just a bunch of wannabe paris hiltons crying over money and boyfriend problems!!They should make a real show like that in DC,Atlanta,NYC,Miami,Chicago,or Toronto.but if they want to make an east coast version they should go to Miami cuz it has all the beaches and big houses.
It will never work. The east coast is too real for that.
that sounds lame
i love hills why mess it up by making a stupid show in dc its gonna be just like newport harbor how they made that just like laguna beach
Primero bitches!!
don't ruin the hills!…
and if they have to make another one…it should deffinetly be in new york…not d.c.
remember how much newport sucked compared to laguna…same thing is going to happen.
Whoa! I live like an hour away!
washington is nice!
make a show about LONG ISLAND
wowww. No, you've GOT to be joking me. What's interesting about DC? LA is where it's at! It's HOLLYWOOD. It's EXCITING. The hills, as in the HILLS of HOLLYWOOD. What are they gonna call this show? The Washington Memorial?
That's so stupid ..
The Hills is one and can't be copied. Just because it's popular, doesn't mean whatever the next show will be. Gimme a break.
I live in DC. make it about meee
hmm a bunch of 21 year olds in washington dc, discussing politics? another close-minded, liberal plot to me! So sick of the media.
better be a diverse cast just like the population in dc
YEEESSSS!! I LIVE IN D.C., we can be sure they'll be better educated and have more interesting conversations than the kids on the Hills.
keep those stupid fucks off my side of the country!
politics….huh….
well,
if i got to see someone as gorgeous audrina in a business suit.
i'd be quite satisfied…
Re: amber – "fuckin gay.. too many reality shows "
….. b.c reality shows have sexual orientations?
Umm… people in DC are way too smart and normal for that shit!
Take it back to LA
DC?! They MUST include Gallaudet students … and ME!
That'd be so fucking dramatic!
I can promise that any shows that include me and my friends would bomb Hills and make them look so stupid.
R-
WHAT A WONDERFUL IDEA!! FINALLY MTV PROMOTING INTELLIGENCE AND POLITICS. i like the hills but comon its not real!
I'm so glad they did this. I was just thinking it would be a good show to do on MTV to put on UN or Senate interns so it could get youth more interested in politics/world affairs………
boring! I worked on capitol hill for years and nothing juicy would be allowed to be filmed
Politics? I think not. The girls being cast for this show are not interested in politics and if they are they are republican. They have joke jobs and the cameras will be sure to follow them from bar to bar to charity party to late night.
stupid…woudn't have the same drama as LA
I hope MTV falls off the face of the earth and dies
Love it! My friends and I are always talking about how they should do an East Coast Hills.
can mtv die already?
hopefully it will be like legally blond
if not what a pice of _________ ( fill in the blanks )
This idea has been spun around DC for years, anyone inside the beltway knows it will be a group of slutty interns running around with the Late Night Shots group - not really reflective of the capitol. Leave Hollywood where it belongs.
Love it!
absolutely not. leave politics out of that kind of spotlight. It is corrupted enough as it is.
Really? They need to come to OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN the REAL OC. Bloomfield Hills, Beverly Hills and Birmingham….far better drama in the OC, Michigan than DC.
Um, hello Long Island?
it would be nice to see a show with characters who are more aware of their surroundings and the world they live in….
the hills will suck no matter the location. sad part is it will continue to draw viewers with brains the size of peas. shout out to the people who comment only to say they're first. fuck off and kill youselves. LOL. oh yeah and find something to do with youre time. its every goddamn post people have to write that shit. sorry. its annoying.
the hills is so totally REAL. LMAO. watching the hills reminds me of being in fucking MIDDLE SCHOOL. whoever finds that kind of television entertainment. get your head check if you're over the age of SIXTEEN!!!
Oh wow! Come on the hills is all we need! some other cheap knock off of this show would be pointless! I think just keep the hills coming! But than again you can never have to much drama! xoxox
I would love to watch that. I have a lot of friends who have interned in DC and they seem to have to wildest stories. love it
Re: lauren – Are you kidding me?! I love the hills almost as much as i love Perez!
NO! snore.
good idea we need a little more east coast representation on mtv. . . .
This is not well received among the community that matters in DC….. only turbsfrom no. va that went to tech will be taking part in this attention grabbing show!
i hate d.c. but it's a pretty crazy town. they party and work hard here just like in LA or NYC. butttttttt, the show would be so much better if it were in NYC!!
thats the DUMBEST idea i have ever heard.
not to mention, washington d.c. sucks.
1. If the show ends up on the air I highly doubt there will be any scenes filmed in Fairfax County. Wealthy as it may be, the strip mall architecture style isn't very tv-friendly.
2. Pretty sure the show has nothing to do with politics. None of the girls involved have ever worked on the Hill, in the White House or for the government.
3. I don't think the location being in DC is really that central at all to the show. If it ends up on the air, it will likely be filmed in that city because that is where the social networking website on which the show is loosely based is most popular.
hell yes, we need need some spice in dc
I know of the girls who are casted for this show, its based off the networking site latenightshots.com. NYC is so overrated and huge, what makes DC better than NYC is that people know nothing of the DC Scene, and instead of walking supermodels on every corner, it is real, hardworking young women. They are all beautiful too. This show will be huge, and if you dont live in DC then you wont understand why until you see it.
eewww nnnoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG OMG OMG!!! NOOOOOOOOO I love the Hills!!! =( I hope it NEVER goes away!!!
I think it's an alright idea to do it on the east coast, but why not a more popular spot? Like NYC, Newport RI, or somewhere in connecticut? Places where people rich with drama would be more predictable?
East Coast ~> good idea.
D.C. ~> notttt so good.
Sorry, we're far too classy for that new-money drama bullshit here. Someone should tell those girls that class includes not waving your money or mediocre problems around in other people's faces. You can keep your faux-drama, LA, and don't let it infect DC.
it's about time… and smart timing to launch DC version in an election year… election eve parties, inaugural balls, etc.
i think that politics isn't the right thing for mtv viewers;; maybe they should try a setting like new york or boston.
KK, Johnson Sisters oh my
I love KK and the Johnsons and so will america
sounds like they're four out of towners… washington's real political princesses are listed in the Green Book and I doubt MTV has access to that so it's not really a reality show after all
ew. why? nothing interesting happens in DC
if this pulls through, its going to be so….generic and tedious
I recently moved to Fairfax County from Dc and I've been waiting for a Real World DC foreverr!!! Everybody thinks Dc is all about politics just because of what they've been seeing on tv but its way more than that. The nightlife is amazing the people are actually intelligent. I'm so sick of shows in NYC and LA they are so overrated. Once you see the show you'll realize it is just as fun and crazy as any other city
Katherine Kennedy will be a household name by this winter. She's one of a kind. Look for her to have a very public fling with Otis Ofori.
They should be basing the show on Wonkette, not the elitist Latenightshots assholes!
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MUSIC TELEVISION???
Hmmmmmmmm……………………………………..
Yes, base the show on poor, unattractive hipsters and the bankrupt website on which they congregate daily. Clearly you have a nose for good television.
You could play quarters on Katherine Kennedy's rear end. She has an attitude and the body to back it up.
to the post above me. of the four girls casted, a couple are in the green book so you may want to get your facts straight before you dive into something you have no knowledge of.
here is the REAL 411 of the show, four girls- the georgetown scene, including the main hotspots- Smith Point, The Rookery, Gryphon Room yadda yadda. Dont even think about trying to get into these bars once filming starts, LIST only. These girls are always on the top of the lists and get invited to everything via latenightshots.com, the networking site that holds the top scenesters, and wannabes of DC. a.k.a LNS is the true gossip girl website, with forums photos and gossip galore
All four of the girls live in their own houses in georgetown.
quick bio of the cast.
the first of the cast is Katherine Kennedy, voila-blonde, beautiful owns her own website and is considered to be the socialite of dc. she graces the covers of many local magazines and owns a blog too which she writes all about her charity work.
Johnson sisters, Krista and Alexa. Krista owns her own boutique in georgetown with a couple friends. alexa (younger sister) tends to be the life of the party. These two are pretty close to kennedy, and are also close to the fourth castmate, which is where things get interesting.
Sophie Pyle, the striking brunette, is younger and all over the georgetown scene. like the other girls, she is invited to the best gatherings, but also new and still a rookie to the attention she recieves. kennedy and pyle are never seen together which is where the drama is destined to begin.
it is predicted that kennedy will be the lc, with feuding battles between pyle- leaving the johnson sisters stuck in the middle.
with a hills inspired show stuck in the true heart of america, this show-as all other shows-will be a hit or miss. hopefully the fresh faces and a new setting on tv, away from the celebrity glitz and glamour of california, will give all viewers a sense of relation to the life of real city girls.

At least it'll have the potential to be intellectual… somewhat… hopefully?
….Nah.
Sophie Pyle is the hottest out of all of them. Don't sell her short in terms of being able to host a game of quarters in the vicinity of her balloon knot.
The prize of the show, who did not sign on, was Andrea Rodgers, a 35-year old divorced bon vivant who has had a couple high profile relationships with minor league baseball players and other Georgetown heavy hitters. It could be hard for the show to get off the ground without her.
THIS IS SUCH A GREAT IDEA. SOMETHING FRESH AND AWAY FROM HOLLYWOOD.
me and my friends were just talking about it… we think it is fabulous
Sophie!? OMG that is so cool I went to her sweet 16 party at her great grandfather's house in Gtown — does he still live there? that would be a great house for the show to film in
wow okay no 35 year old would have even made 1st cut. these girls are all in their early 20s… sophie is barely 20, and the show will definently make it without a 35 year old hag
A Laguna Beach 'East' was attempted by the producer of 24 for Fox Network about 3 years ago based in Atlantic City, NJ. Of course it was not picked up because they didn't really have much of a story. They were trying to spin it around people who actually work to live near the beach.
It will not be remotely the same or as popular. The Hills works because of Lauren. People are interested in her, and she has a quality that for some reason has struck a chord with the audience. Doubtful you could throw together 4 random east coast girls and have it be remotely interesting. Plus, it would be nearly impossible to find an annoying tard as stupid as Heidi.
between GW and Gtown…. there are plenty to spoiled rich kids to entertain the audiences.
seriously which privileged child will they be following now?
Fabulous! DC is more real than the hills, but fake all the same
Bad idea…The hills was great because its a bunh of shallow, stylish party girls…Thats entertaining…A show based in washington would be too serious and that will take away from the appeal of the Hills…Plus the hills without Lauren?!
woah this is amazing, GO SOPHIE
None of them have worked on the hill? I know for a fact that Sophie Pyle interned for a congressman one summer.
eww. no no no.
The only reason that The Hills worked out is that we got to see Lauren after her stint on Laguna.
You can't just go out and give us new people.
Umm Laguna Beach season 3?!
or
what was that other, Newport Harbor?
i've never seen the california "hills" and after reading all this, i'm sure i will certainly never give it another moment's thought… but i am def looking forward to a little DC drama every week. when will it start airing????????????????????
ew that gross arent like ppl outside of dc really really like fat and like all white and friggin eats oily food
y would they even bother tehy're boring anyways they dont even got a nice beach
gay
it should by nyc
