Arianna

Arianna say

The opening notes of “Unwritten” automatically bring me all the emotions.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

YES I feel alive and well already. This song is definitely not as much of a jam as “Unwritten.”

M

Michael

Michael say

This is LC’s attempt at Beyoncé's “Life Is But a Dream” tbh.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Less emotional tho, I cried my eyes out at the Beyoncé doc.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

There are BOXES of unused tape.

M

Michael

Michael say

There’s an X-Files for “The Hills.”

A

Arianna

Arianna say

MGAH have we ever SEEN LC’s casting tape submission??

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Her middle part is SO early aughts.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Okay, so according to LC’s dad, the “Teen Vogue” internship was real.

M

Michael

Michael say

And according to LC, all her friendships were not orchestrated.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Yeah. I'm happy it all seems pretty legit from the beginning. I would've been upset if the internship was faked.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Lauren says she never really loved being on camera. Yet here she is doing a Bey-like documentary.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

And did two different reality TV shows about her life.

M

Michael

Michael say

I always thought it was interesting that the “The Hills” NEVER referenced it was a reality show, or that they were famous in any respect, but the Kardashians are the total opposite.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

YES! In the interview we did with the producers, I thought it was crazy how much effort they put into making sure it didn't make them seem famous, even when they were the biggest stars.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Probably because they feel like it’s “scripted” more than reality.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

#promo for Lauren’s line.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

I feel like that's probably part of the reason it went from "reality" to "scripted" so fast?

V

Victoria

Victoria say

THAT DOESN’T EVEN LOOK LIKE GAGA!

A

Arianna

Arianna say

OMGAH the Lady Gaga dressing episode.

M

Michael

Michael say

LC SAVED GAGA.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

So basically, thus far, this is like sprinkles of flashbacks to “The Hills” mixed with promo for Lauren Conrad’s life.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

I WANT MORE HILLS TEA!

M

Michael

Michael say

I feel like this WHOLE thing is just a “SEE?! She DOES do stuff, she IS successful!”

V

Victoria

Victoria say

I always give it to LC though: she REALLY made a career from this stuff.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

OMG Jason.
The original Heartbreaker.

M

Michael

Michael say

TFW you’re the girl who didn’t go to Paris and then didn’t have a BF.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

He was the OG Cali fuckboy.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

When she drops the golf clubs off to Jason.

M

Michael

Michael say

I don’t think we knew he wasn’t sober...

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Wow, it's sad to see that I feel.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

I wonder if it was the whole time?

V

Victoria

Victoria say

They kept it under the rug that he was struggling.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

SHE SKIPPED PARIS FOR HIM.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

They edited that CRAZY.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Okay so... The biggest lesson learned here is: Editing is CRAZY. Would’ve never known Jason wasn’t sober. Just thought he was a d-bag.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Yeah, I remember thinking it was out of left field when they said he went to rehab and stuff, but like...We low-key saw it all.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Jason is married?!

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Let’s take bets. Will we see anyone else from the cast, but Lauren tonight?

V

Victoria

Victoria say

No, 100%.

M

Michael

Michael say

We’ve gotta see Whitney!

A

Arianna

Arianna say

I know Heidi called MTV.
And was like “Hello, what day is filming?”

M

Michael

Michael say

LMAO. Whitney probably emailed because, you know, "The Shitty," sorry, “The CITY” isn’t going to get this type of doc.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

#RIPTheCity

M

Michael

Michael say

KIM!!!

V

Victoria

Victoria say

KIMMY

A

Arianna

Arianna say

KIM KARDASHIAN! PRE WEST.

M

Michael

Michael say

Do you think Kim was inspired to have a reality show by “The Hills”?

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Wow, back then Kim was so un-famous that her cameo was edited out.

V

Victoria

Victoria say
A

Arianna

Arianna say

Hard to remember a reality TV world pre-Kimmy.

M

Michael

Michael say
A

Arianna

Arianna say

Wow, I missed Heidi/Lauren fights.

M

Michael

Michael say

Lauren Conrad is SUCH a good fighter and crier.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Yes, I love that Lauren would just walk away.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

“Don’t bring cameras into my room I’m changing.” Real moments, here.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Lo will ALWAYS be the best. From any of their shows lol.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Lo for President. Vice President, actually. She’s a great supporting character.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

She has my vote.

M

Michael

Michael say

#ImWithLo

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Lauren is making me feel like she was SO real on the entire thing.
Which makes her even more savâge.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

The mascara tear.
IT’S COMING.

M

Michael

Michael say

The mascara tear is my Sistine Chapel.
Did LC ever invest in waterproof?
I NEED TO KNOW.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Wow, the producers predicted how their nights would go. And were probably super accurate every time.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

That's crazy that they knew their shots like that before, but the people were just living it IRL.

M

Michael

Michael say

This is heartbreaking.
Like, no one helped her during this.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Oh wow, that's so sad, she wasn't happy with MTV there.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

So, before this special, I definitely thought way more of it was fake. But it seems like there were definitely some real moments.

M

Michael

Michael say

Agreed, agreed. It’s almost like they edited to look faker than it was.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Like, I assumed it was literally basically a sitcom.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

Totally agree, my faith in “The Hills” is back.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Remember when the world called Lauren Conrad “basic”? Watching this I’m like, nah. Not basic.

M

Michael

Michael say

She’s never been basic. #JusticeForLC

V

Victoria

Victoria say

She's just adapted the basic brand because it WORKS.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Rewatching this I now realize why I connected with it so much. It’s literally all of our lives.
Friendships ending. The one f*ckboy you can’t let go of. Temper tantrums for no reason.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

If someone filmed your 19-year-old self? It wouldn't go down well.

A

Arianna

Arianna say

I can’t even look at my Instagrams from 2 years ago.

M

Michael

Michael say

Last week is still a struggle TBH.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

HAHAHA hilarious that her husband felt awkward watching “The Hills.”

M

Michael

Michael say

If I were friends with LC (please let this come true) I’m not sure I could stop myself from quoting “The Hills.”

A

Arianna

Arianna say

Did they even mention Spencer once?! Or Stephanie?

M

Michael

Michael say

They basically owned up to like, two things.
But left everything else unanswered.

V

Victoria

Victoria say

I wish they had just run through the cast and been like: real or fake? Still friends or still hate?

A

Arianna

Arianna say

THE REST IS STILL UNWRITTEN.
