Is The Hills Losing Its Steam?

Should we blame the Olympics for The Hills‘ dip in ratings?

When season 3 of the MTV show premiered it was up 40% from season 2’s premiere.

But, according to the Hollywood Reporter, there was no such growth for the season 4 premiere on Monday night.

In fact, it was down 9% in its key 12-to-34 demo (2.1 million) and down 5% among total viewers (3.5 million) when compared to its one-hour debut last year.

Do you think the coming weeks without the Olympics will provide a better test?

Or, are you guys sick of L.C. and crew?????
