Fans of Laguna Beach will love the first season of The Hills, which follows Laguna's Lauren Conrad as she attends fashion school in Los Angeles and works as an intern at Teen Vogue magazine. OK, so that's the premise for this quasi-reality MTV series. But in reality, the show is an excuse to watch pretty young people make out, break up, get back together, and break up some more. The show has more in common with a daytime drama than a documentary; none of the subjects worries too much about paying rent for their glamorous apartments or designer clothes. But when it comes to dating, the Geneva Convention could learn a thing or two about negotiating from these gals. Lauren fans may be dismayed to learn that Jason, the monosyllabic Lothario who cheated on her in the second season of Laguna Beach is back. And instead of going on dates with the thousands of young men who would love to have a pretty blonde on their arms (and get the opportunity to appear on TV to boot!), Lauren allows Jason to get back into her good graces--even though he hasn't matured since high school. Or figured out how to treat a woman. Or learned how to talk better. It's actually heartbreaking watching her struggle with a relationship that we can all see is doomed. Or is it?
The season finale ends with the kind of dilemma we all wish we could've faced when we were 19 or 20: spend the summer working in Paris or move into a beach house with your boyfriend and frolic on the beach for three months. Paris? Jason? Hmmmm. You'd think that'd be a no-brainer. Also on hand to offer support are Lauren's friends Heidi and Audrina. The cast always looks chic and freshly made up (even after getting out of bed) and the cameras somehow always manage to be in the right place to capture romantic moments (and drama). It's easy to make fun of this show because of the preposterous setup that this sun-kissed life is reality for a group of kids who don't seem to have to work that hard for their privileged lives. But therein lies the guilty pleasure. We know it's a fantasy created by MTV. And while we would kill for the rocking apartments, cars, and clothes, there is no way most of us would endure being publicly humiliated to get 15 minutes of fame. --Jae-Ha Kim
Product Description
It's one thing to be young and beautiful in Laguna Beach. It's another to be young and beautiful in the city that values it most. The Hills follows Lauren ("LC" from Laguna Beach) as she makes the move from her O.C. digs to Los Angeles, where she will chase her dreams of entering the fashion business with her internship at Teen Vogue, while balancing a full course load at college and an even fuller social calendar. Through Lauren we meet her new roommate who aspires to make the LA nightlife her whole life (Heidi), the sorority girl who aspires to work in fashion (Whitney) and a receptionist who wants to be a model/actress (Audrina). These four girls take full advantage of being in the LA "in" crowd, hopping from club, to party, to hot restaurant as they live the Hollywood lifestyle to the full. But will Lauren be able to handle it all when there are so many things pulling her in so many directions?

This is a MUST for Laguna Beach lovers and reality TV junkies alike as Laguna Star LC (Lauren Conrad) is filmed in her college life in LA, she has a dream job, a great apartment and great friends..what could go wrong? This seasons features her hugely entertaining friends wild child Heidi and her boyfriend Jordan, Likeable Audrina and on/off squeeze Brian (Jordan's roomate) and nice girl Whitney who is Lauren's co-worker at Teen Vogue, and also Lauren's Bad boy Boyfriend Jason (also from Laguna Beach). This is a really well made show and will keep you hooked with all the dramas and going ons in LA. Once you have seen the first episode u won't be able to stop watching!!

Following on from Laguna Beach, I was dead chuffed when they announced they were doing a spin off from Laguna and I love Lauren Conrad, yes she gets involved a bit too much with things that dont concern her (more so in later series) a fair bit but she means well and shes nice. Jason is ultimate pain in the neck, not only did he cause mayhem and heartache in laguna but he seems to have developed into some sort of bossy play boy who treats Lauren like something on the bottom of his shoe when surely he needs her more than she needs him!! Wierd. Whitney Port is sweet but kind of annoying as she is just sooo nice and polite where Heidi and Audrina have a bit more about them. I think its a good show (my boyfriend cannot stand it), I think the more the series went on the more unrealistic it became and the first series seems a lot more believable. Buy it, its great for a day with a hangover!!
