The City "Stage Fight": Whitney has finally completed her transformation into the New Lauren, now that she has taken to acting like an entitled bitch to Roxy. In her later Hills seasons, Lauren often adopted a similarly patronizing tone with Audrina and Stephanie (such impatience usually indicates the star's boredom with the entire exercise, due to a flourishing personal life kept decidedly off-camera). After spending the last three episodes literally taking notes for Whitney at business meetings, at least Roxy got something to do.
The Hills "Welcome to the Jungle": With only two episodes left (I've already started getting nostalgic), it's nice to see the cast actually enjoying spending time together. Gone are the days of Kristin and Stephanie fake-yelling* over glasses of water in trendy restaurants. Instead, we get a dash of relationship drama, some making-out, and plenty of alcohol (otherwise known as Kristin's Recipe for Success in Life). While the lack of screeching makes for a milder viewing experience, I can never complain about an episode that features Kristin dancing on a Costa Rican beach in the rain to "Alejandro."**
*About that fake-yelling, Stephanie recently told OK! magazine: "You know, that really wasn’t Kristin. She was told to say it. To tell a story on the show, for someone to take the blame, that’s kind of what we signed up for. We’d be filming a scene and she’d be like, 'I’m sorry.' And I’d say, 'Whatever, let’s just do this scene and go get coffee.' I was never mad at Kristin. I knew all along what was happening."
**Is it bad that I secretly want a pair of these?
