After seeing how Spencer and Heidi are in other TV shows and interviews over the years, it's pretty safe to say they're not faking all of their terrible behaviour.

I think the later episodes with Kristin were more fake.  It was more innocent at the beginning.

I wonder if they are kicking themselves for telling the truth now that they are back on air

Teenage girl me always thought it was real😆

I don't even care if it was fake and scripted, it made for good tv and I still watch all those episodes even though I've seen 'em all like ten times. I always considered it just another show, like all of my favorite shows.

Don't care if it's scripted! Bring it back

I can't believe what a gullible preteen I was! I go back and watch the show now and just cringe at how totally fake and forced the scenes feel, like they are trying hard to pretend there are no cameras there and they are just "living life". LOL.

This needs to be turned into like a full on 3-part ET special. I have so many more questions!

Is it just me or do Audrina's eyes make her look like she is always looking up??

I don't think it was ALL fake.

“the rest is still unwritten”

Ummm actually it was all written... in a script.

It's funny how everyone has so much to say Yet Lauren has never said anything. It shows how she's the only one that has class.

The fakeness of it all finally hit me in the last scene of the last show where Brody and Kristen are saying goodbye to each other and all of a sudden the big backdrop screen of the beautiful beach and sunset were rolled away....actually "rolled away"....ON WHEELS! to reveal the set, or stage where it all took place.....even all (or most) of the scenery was even fake! They sure fooled me.

It really wasn't that fake until Lauren left

0:41 Audrina is always smiling when she's supposed to be crying LOL  every damn time LMAO

It wasn't all fake. The cast is partly trying to defend themselves for being idiotic on the show but Heidi and Spencer's love was real and are still married after so many years later and It really did conflict w Lauren greatly. Audrina and Justing Bobby did have a relationship that bad and they were dating a season before they started filming before justin trusted the crew. So although it is highly manipulated, some stuff is true but mostly fake :P

The reason LAUREN isn't here is bc the show wasn't as fake when she was still on it...Some parts were, but it became so fake later on :(

we can see that the classiest people don't talk about the hills - aka lauren , lo , whitney , brody etc

Okay but what about Lauren. The one whose validity matters.

The Hills was one of my favourite shows as a young teen, like I was OBSESSED... fast forward to now and UnREAL is one of my favourite shows and in a weird way, made me respect The Hills as one of MTV's best produced shows
