I don't understand "The Hills"

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Forgive me for not just using google, but when I do I can never get to the site itself- when I click the link it takes me to spam pages

This show came on and I did not change the channel so I started watching. Is this a reality TV show or are these people actors? I am so confused by this!

It's a little bit of both. A lot of it is manipulated, like who they are told to hang out with and whatnot. Also, the cameras don't film them 24-7, so if something happens when the cameras aren't there they are asked to act it out again for the camera. That's why sometimes when they are talking about something serious it looks like they are going to laugh. It's a spin off of Laguna Beach. And The City is a spin off of the Hills.

It's not reality at all IMO. They are told who to be friends with and who to date for the show. Plus they re-shoot scenes to get them just right, their jobs on the show aren't real either. Totally fake. But sometimes amusing and sadly kind of addictive in a watching-a-train-wreck kind of way.

But yes, it is pretending to be a reality show.
