Buzz Battle: Kristin Cavallari as the New Face of The Hills

BuzzSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:30:29 -0700

The editors here at BuzzSugar stand united in our undying love for all things pop culture, but we don't always see eye-to-eye on every topic. After checking out the premiere of The Hills, this morning's water cooler discussion quickly evolved into a debate about whether or not the show can survive with Kristin in Lauren's place.

In corner number one we've got editor B, who is ready to cancel her season pass to the show after last night's episode. In corner number two, we've got editor S, who couldn't be more thrilled to welcome Kristin to the show. We've both compiled our strongest arguments, so check out both sides of the story and weigh in for yourself when you read more.

Editor B: Let me start by saying that I am not a Cavallari hater. I thought she was adorable and entertaining on Laguna Beach. The problem is that her sassy, bad-girl attitude doesn't make her unique anymore. Now she just seems like one of those girls that peaked in high school and never got over it. LC may not have been the most dramatic character on the show, but I appreciated that she kept it real instead of blatantly starting fights five minutes after walking into a party.
Editor S Rebuttal: By replacing LC with Kristin, The Hills just flipped the script. Within ten minutes of this week's premiere, there's a screaming match (Audrina had to be held back!). The show hasn't seen action like this since Lauren hollered that Heidi knew what she did outside of a nightclub ladies room in season three. Last night, no one stared at each other with emotive eyes and pregnant pauses. They talked, they flirted, they yelled. Thanks to Kristin, The Hills is fun again!
Editor B: Her valley girl voice is annoying me more than ever.
Editor S Rebuttal: Have you ever heard Spencer's voice? Hasn't stopped me from watching yet.
Editor B: It's hard to root for a protagonist that you repeatedly want to kick in the shins. I used to think Stephanie and Audrina were whiny, but now I can't blame them for leaving the show.
Editor S Rebuttal: After four seasons of feeling sympathy for LC (someone's being mean to Lauren, someone's lying about Lauren, someone's hooking up with Lauren's maybe boyfriend), it's refreshing to root for a live wire. Kristin's not sympathetic and she doesn't need your sympathy. There's only so many female friendship dilemmas you can go through, and The Hills has gone through them - really, is it a big deal if Lauren hangs out with Lo more than Audrina?! I'm sick of smeared mascara and tearful conversations; I'm ready for stilettos and scheming.
Editor B's closing argument: I'll give her a few more episodes, but I have a feeling that this show is a sinking ship and KCav is the captain. With LC gone, it's like back-to-back obnoxious scenes featuring Kristin and Spencer. There's only so much a person can take!
Editor S's closing argument: Did you see the previews for the coming season? Kristin will get put in her place by Jayde and the catfights are only starting. If the rest of the season is as juicy and action-packed as this week's episode, then I have my new Tuesday night destination for guilty, mean girl pleasure.

So whose side are you on?

The Hills and The City Are Back Tonight - Which Are You More Excited About?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:45:20 -0700

Forsaking the old Monday night time slot, The Hills and The City have both moved to Tuesday nights, beginning with tonight's premieres. A new night is not the only thing that's different about MTV's cornerstone reality shows: over on The Hills, Lauren Conrad is gone, replaced by her old Laguna Beach nemesis/all-around bad girl Kristin Cavallari.

The City has also had a few cast shakeups; buddy Erin and feuding couple Allie and Adam are all out, and new roommate Roxy and Elle PR villainess Erin are in. We already got to see some of the changes on camera in last week's sneak peek clips, and I have to say, I'm a little more excited about The City than The Hills. It looks to be more intriguing than last season, where the story revolved around Whitney's relationship with Jay.

But back in L.A., with Lauren gone, I worry there won't be a stabilizing force - leaving nothing but all-out antics from Heidi, Spencer, Audrina, Justin Bobby, and Kristin. Or maybe it'll just be a super big time extra guilty pleasure. So which one are you looking forward to tonight?

Sneak Peek Clips From The Hills and The City Premieres!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:15:15 -0700

I don't know what I'm going to do when the double-header of The Hills and The City premieres next Tuesday. The shows are airing in the standard 10/10:30 p.m. slots, which means that I'll probably be watching them right after 90210 and Melrose Place - if my brain doesn't explode from all that salaciousness first.

We already saw one preview clip from The Hills, so we know that the show is going through a major overhaul - Lauren's out, Kristin's in - that's sure to create more cat-clawing drama than ever. But now we have three new MTV clips, and judging by the video from The City that's below, it looks like the frosty Olivia may have finally met her match, too. Will you be watching?

Let me know in the comments or join one of the BuzzSugar Community fan groups, like The Hills, to share your thoughts and meet other fans. But first, check out these snippets when you read more.

P.S. What's with Spencer's cowboy hat (and boots)? Doesn't it remind you of Heidi's dad?!

Meet the New Hills - Same as the Old Hills?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:30:12 -0700

Watching Sunday's season finale of The Hills, it's pretty clear the show saw the episode as a changing of the guard. Departing star Lauren Conrad and incoming star Kristin Cavallari even showed up to Heidi and Spencer's wedding wearing the same shade of blue, and Kristin triumphantly caught Heidi's bouquet while Lauren was sneaking out a side door.

We've heard that Kristin is already stirring up trouble, and after the show last night, we got our first look at some footage from the new episodes, which will begin airing sometime in the Fall. It's pretty clear that Kristin's dominating the scene already, picking fights and even flirting with Justin Bobby (. . . really, people are fighting over Justin Bobby?) to make Audrina mad. It looks like her arrival will take the drama to a whole new level - but will you want to follow? To check out the clip, just read more.

Do You Care About Tonight's Finale of The Hills?

BuzzSugar — Sun, 31 May 2009 07:30:17 -0700

It's the end of an era tonight as Lauren Conrad says goodbye to The Hills with Heidi and Spencer's big wedding. MTV's successful reality show will be back without Ms. Conrad, but tonight still marks the end of The Hills, as we've known it.

Will you tune in? Or are you over it?

No Lauren, No Problem: The Hills Will Be Back, Says MTV

BuzzSugar — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 11:30:49 -0700

Lauren Conrad may be on her way out, but The Hills is rolling on. That's the word from MTV's Upfront presentation to advertisers today, where the network officially announced that The Hills will return for at least one more season.

The new episodes will premiere this Fall. LC won't be in them, but Audrina Patridge, who signed her own production deal earlier this year, apparently will. As for the rest of the cast - including newlyweds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, Spencer's sister Stephanie, LC's Laguna Beach classmate Lo Bosworth, and more - we'll have to wait and see.

Most of you said if Lauren left The Hills, you'd be gone, too. Now that a new season is confirmed, do you still feel the same? Could any of the existing cast members break out and become the star? And hey, what's Kristin Cavallari doing these days?

Are You More Likely to Watch The Hills For LC's Last Season?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 05:30:49 -0700

Tonight, Lauren Conrad begins her swan song on The Hills, and I'm sure there will be plenty of drama to squeeze into the next several weeks. MTV is still trying to decide if the show can go on without Lauren (a ton of you said it shouldn't), but I'm wondering if you're more likely to tune in knowing it's Lauren's final round. Check out the promo below and then tell me: Does Lauren's departure make you more interested in tuning in?
