'The Hills' sneak peek at Season 4: Stephanie, you've been a bad, bad girl
The countdown is on: "The Hills" is back Aug. 18 at 10 p.m. and MTV.com has put up the official trailer, giving fans the first look at the goods.
Here's the snap judgment:
- Looks like Stephanie is back and up to no good, dating a boy LC's already got her hooks in -- score one for the She-Pratt! -- and getting banished by Team Speidi for the 985th time. MTV should really just let Stephanie narrate the show. Someone should work up that campaign now.
- Speaking of evil sibs, Heidi's kid sister is moving in, causing yet another rift between Heidi and Spencer. Who knows how long their faux-fighting is expected to last? Personally, I'd rather see them doing what they do best.
- Audrina may have grown an honest-to-goodness backbone, going on a date with someone who's not Justin Bobby (but he's back too, not to worry) and telling LC lapdog Lo to back off.
- Brody goes to jail! Sadly, we think the arrest will have little effect on his upcoming MTV reality series "Bromance."
- Whitney's spin-off series is being set up with the first-ever glimpses of her personal life (read: dates) making it into the show. Soon, viewers will know whether she can carry her own series.
- There's also some of the same ol', same ol': LC dating the wrong boys. LC weeping for being backstabbed by Stephanie. LC confronting Audrina.
Does this trailer entice you to watch the new season? Or have you had it with "The Hills"?

The show is lame...always has been and always will be. Anyone who knows the truth about what really goes on behind closed doors knows that it's completely fake. How can people even watch it? There's nothing compelling about watching unsophisticated, un-educated wannabes pretend they live a life that's manufactured specifically for television!

The show is NOT! 'TheHillsIsLame' is lame. This is a phenomena in television right now and blows the doors off of the epically promoted New York projects like "Gossip Girl". The show has fantastic production values and has photography usually reserved for high end film production. In case you were wondering, everyone on television is living lives manufactured for television, BOOB! Now, retreat like a good little poseur...

Yes, it's a guilty pleasure, but I'm not even that guilty about it. As Milquetoast accurately said, The Hills has excellent production values and it's easily the most stylized show on TV. Sure, it's stars are vapid and vacuous and their lives bear little to no resemblance to any reality that I know, but it's the very hyper-reality that the show portrays that I - and presumably most fans - love. Also, as an LA resident, it's very cool to see different neighborhoods in different eps. It help give the show an almost interactive quality.
Oh yeah, if you hate the show, just don't watch it. There are far worse things teens and 20-30-somethings could be watching, namely My Super Sweet 16 and TV evangelists, respectively.
