Everything happens for a reason

HAPPY EASTER!
Could my life get any better? It is spring break and last night was the premier of the final season of the Hills. Two episodes; starting with the episode where Spencer punches someone in the face. Sweet.

The episode begins with LC's birthday. The girls decide to throw her a surprise party on a boat. Cruise around, drink, and gamble. What could go wrong? Heidi. Stephanie, ever the incendiary, talks Heidi into crashing the party. So now they are all trapped on the boat. Heidi is again working hard to have an awkward confrontation with Lauren. It is less distressing then other times that this has happened but Lauren held her ground with the, I miss you, but I hate Spencer.

Meanwhile, Spencer is having guys night with his mustachioed friend. (I believe it was someone hired off the street. Who would choose to be friends with Spencer?) The boys head to a bar and is hitting on the cute bartendress. Cameron, Stephanie's ex, shows up and Spencer is rude to him (surprise, surprise). Cameron texts Stephanie with the news about Spencer's flirting. Stephanie tells Heidi and Heidi calls Spencer. Spencer is incensed. He was not flirting. Can't a guy buy a girl some shots and ask her about what it might take to get her dancing on the bar. (Incidentally, it is "Pour some sugar on me." Predictable. I will add that to my list of songs drunk, white people like to sing along with. Other songs; Benny and the Jets, Journey songs) Spencer wants to talk to Cameron. He gets in Cameron's face and is asking for him to "touch him." He wants an excuse to hit him. Then decides he doesn't need it and sucker punches him in the face. Unfortunately, Cameron does not stand up for himself and people break it up before any fists can connect with Spencer's face.

Heidi, is in hysterics and is "leaving." At this point, I secretly hope that she will jump off the boat. No such luck. Instead she and LC have another weird crying talk. The best times of Heidi's life were with Lauren. She misses her so much. It seems confusing because I thought that she was upset about Spencer. LC takes this opportunity to take a few more digs at Spencer. He is a bad guy and mean. Heidi seems only half listening and conveniently does not hear the Spencer criticism.

LC, Audrina, and Lo have a debrief about the party. It was fun but LC was not a fan of being trapped on the boat with Heidi.

Next Episode:

The next day Heidi goes to the bar to talk to the bartender. She says that if she was in Heidi's position she would be mad.

Spencer is upset that Stephanie would tell Heidi about his alleged flirting. How dare you "show someone a text message without checking with me first?" Stephanie tells Spencer he is so obsessed with loyalty he will end up alone.

Heidi confronts Spencer and then packs her bags to go home to Colorado. Spencer tries his usual make her seem crazy and turn it around on her. He is upset with her for making him always be by her side and not letting him go out more often. Can't she see that it is all her fault? He also does not remember asking the cute bartender about dancing on the bar. Can she prove it. I wish she would run down to the MTV video trailer and demand to see the video.

Spencer calls Brody to get some advice. Brody says that if she went to Colorado all bets are off. Go out with the guys and see what else is out there.

Heidi is in Colorado receiving advice about Spencer from her mother. She runs into her high school boyfriend, Colby. Mom is sure that this is happening for a reason. The reason being Spencer is an awful human being.

Spencer heads back to the bar and flirts with the bartender some more. She calls Heidi crazy and asks Spencer what will happen next. They are planning to go on a date.

LC and Brody are shocked by the strange reality that they have stepped into. Heidi and Spencer now need LC and Brody after they were jerks to them. How strange.

Look forward to a season of crazy. LC getting a job at People's Revolution for Stephanie, (I know Kelly Cutrone is going to love Stephanie) Spencer and Heidi getting married again (maybe it will take this time), and Brody and Audrina hooking up (What happened to Justin Bobby and the gross ring that came out of his mouth and went on Audrina's finger at the end of last season.)

One other MTV item of note. I was having a wonderful visit (catching up on the gossip) with one of my great friends and we left the tv on while "Taking the Stage" was on. This is a show about kids who go to the school for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinatti. The kids were getting ready for a performance. The teacher in charge reminded them that they needed to be ready because a lot of "Cincinatti Dignitaries" would be there. This phrase really stood out to me and I wondered who on earth they could possibly mean.

That's right. You guessed it, my favorite and yours, Nick Lachey. I love him. He was just going to support the kids. He is an alum of this school. What a great guy.


GOSSIP GIRL: Programming note. No new GG until April 20th. Are they on Spring Break too? What is wrong with you CW?
