‘The Hills’ were one of the biggest reality TV shows of the 00's. Season one saw over two million viewers for each weekly episode, to catch up with the going’s on of Laguna Beach alumni Lauren 'LC' Conrad. The show began in 2006 following the journey of LC beginning her new life in LA with best friend Heidi Montag. ‘The Hills’ went to document the lives of several young girls trying to develop their careers whilst managing a busy social life.
The show ran for six seasons before coming to a dramatic end in 2010. Lauren left in season five after she felt she had run its course.
After her departure fans felt the show became more scripted and false after the return of 'villain' Kristin Cavallari. Kristen was Lauren's nemesis in Laguna Beach after their constant fighting over heartthrob Stephen Colletti.
