When the debut season of The Hills ended, Lauren had passed up the opportunity to work in Paris for the summer to live in a beach house with her vaguely Neanderthal-ish boyfriend Jason. Flash forward to the second season of MTV's hit reality series--which aired from January through April 2007. Lauren and Jason break up, and you can see the wistfulness in her eyes as her friend Whitney (who got the Paris gig after Lauren turned it down) talks about what an amazing summer she had. Though the conceit of this Laguna Beach spin-off was to have Lauren at its core, her friends are as instrumental to the drama as she is. There's Audrina, whom roomies Lauren and Heidi ostracize for no other reason than they can. As for Heidi, Lauren's supposed best friend, she cares more about fame and men than her friends. As entertaining as this 3-disc, 12-episode set is, this series also reveals the worst caricatures about mean girls and young women. They will gossip about whoever isn't around and will lie to their friends, apparently oblivious to the fact that they will be caught in their lies when the show airs on TV. And sadly, these girls fault each other--rather than their cheating men--for their tumultuous relationships.

If Lauren is the determined and good rich girl, Heidi is the manipulative bad seed. She scares a boyfriend into thinking she's pregnant to test how much he loves her and then maintains her innocence when he gets angry at her deception. She lies to Lauren about what another girl said. There are times you may empathize with her, but those few moments are negated by her stupidity when it comes to her slimy boyfriend Spencer, whose claim to fame is hanging around any place (and any one) where there is a camera crew. He even sets up Lauren with his one-dimensional friend Brody (son of Olympian Bruce Jenner) to ensure that he's assured of even more camera time. Spencer guilts Heidi into doing what he wants, but she is guilty of lacking a spine when it comes to standing up to him. Spencer actually is an honorary mean girl, cattier and more jealous than any of the women on the show. Last season's finale left viewers wondering whether Lauren would work towards her future and go to Paris, or remain in the past and live with Jason. The second year ends with another life-altering decision--this time for Heidi. Will she move in with Spencer, whom she has already told that she is too young to make such a commitment, or will she remain as Lauren's roomie and BFF? There is a champagne toast and pizza celebration for a pair of roommates in the final episode that will make most fans of the show very pleased. --Jae-Ha Kim

5.0 out of 5 stars My guilty pleasure ;->, August 17, 2007

By	Little Miss Cutey (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

I don't know why I love this show so much - but I do. It's strangely addictive and for some reason, I can't stop watching it. Yes, it's trashy, but you kind of want to keep seeing what's going on in their immature lives because you realise that you are actually normal and well adjusted. There are 12 episodes, and I watched them in record time.
Here's the breakdown of each episode:
1 - OUT WITH THE OLD. After a rocky summer with her boyfriend Jason, Lauren decides to break it off and returns to Teen Vogue to face her unhappy boss. Heidi finds herself in trouble with a guy both she and Audrina are dating.
2 - WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. Lauren goes on her first date since breaking up with Jason and is tested at work when she's asked to work a fashion show. Heidi has a life changing secret she must tell her boyfriend.
3 - THE BEST NIGHT EVER. When an uninvited Audrina shows up at Heidi's birthday, she learns Heidi's not ready to forgive and forget. Lauren, determined to focus on work, falls for the charms of the new guy in her life, Brody Jenner.
4 - WHO DO YOU TRUST? Audrina tells Heidi about Spencer's cheating ways, but Heidi is doubtfull until she sees it for herself. Lauren continues to wonder whether she is ready for a relationship.
5 - ONE BIG INTERUPTION. Heidi takes a break from Spencer but finds herself missing him more than she'd like. Lauren has to plan a Teen Vogue dinner but takes a backseat to super-intern Emily from New York.
6 - YOU HAVE CHOSEN. When Lauren tells Heidi what she really thinks about Spencer, Heidi must choose between her best friend and her boyfriend.
7 - WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE. Lauren realizes she can't trust her best friends after Heidi hooks Jen up with Brody.
8 - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Audrina takes Lauren out on a blind double date, while Lauren and Heidi grow farther apart. And a photo shoot with a Vogue stylist makes Whitney impatient for more responsibility.
9 - NEW YEAR, NEW FRIENDS. Spencer asks Heidi to move in with him, but Heidi doesn't know what to do or how to tell her roomate, Lauren.
10 - APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED. Lauren's 21st birthday is full of surprises when Heidi and Audrina throw her a party and Jen reaches out to make peace with her.
11 - EVERYBODY FALLS. With a new job on the line, Whitney stumbles in her biggest opportunity with Teen Vogue. Spencer goes too far when he pressures Heidi to leave Lauren and move in with him.
12 - GOODBYE FOR NOW. In this season finale, tension comes to a head as Heidi makes her final decision about moving in with Spencer. Lauren looks to Audrina to fill the void left by her best friend, and Whitney flies to New York City to interview for a full-time job with Teen Vogue.
All of this takes up 2 discs, and on the third disc are some extras. There are some deleted scenes and cast interviews among other things and it's entertaining to watch too (especially the remixes). The nicest and prettiest girl is Audrina. The most immature and idiotic is Heidi.
I don't know why the lives of rich spoilt girls who probably have mommy and daddy paying their rent should be so appealing, but it is somehow. I love the shots of Los Angeles throughout the show and love seeing some of the places they go to - like nightclubs, restaurants and cafes.
If you are looking for a day's worth of trashy entertainment, then look no further. This is great to watch and I'm already hanging out for season 3.
