Reality Check

Ok, so I'll admit it, I have a guilty pleasure, just like so many other millions of people. I love The Hills!
The drama, the clothes, the ridiculous conversations, the seemingly never ending cash-flow of the cast, the bitchiness...it's completely addictive!
I find myself waiting with bated breath for every juicy episode.
Once again, I don't know what it is with these millennial kids, but there is something very intriguing about their lives. They have things that most people only dream of, they are clearly treated differently than most (whether this actually has something to do with their parents bringing them up in privilege or creative writing on behalf of the show, is certainly up for debate) and they actually think that the "issues" they are going through now really matter. LC, Lo, Audrina, "Speidi", Brody...this cast of new reality stars have no clue what it's like to live in the real world and the beauty is, they really don't care! There are many critics of the show, espousing their views on the cast, coming down hard on them for being so clueless and focusing on nonsense. Come on, it's not like any of us are tuning into the show to see where their political affiliations lie, if they are pro choice or if they even know that there is a war going on in the Middle East. This is pure escapism and I can dig it!
