I'm starting to lose interest in the The Hills. I think it has something to do with the lack of Lo exposure in recent episodes. I stopped caring about Audrina and Justin Bobby's relationship a long time ago, but for some reason, producers think it's worth an entire episode.
Justin Bobby is never going to change, and Audrina is making herself look about as dumb as Heidi. I've never been a raging feminist, but these two women are horrible role models for young girls.
Audrina's actions send the message that it's OK to be at the beck and call of a guy who refuses to be in a monogamous relationship and just hope that some day he'll change. In the meantime, nice guys like Corey, who treat you with respect, finish last.
Heidi's actions show girls that being in a committed relationship means isolating yourself from your friends and family. She only speaks or acts when she gets Spencer's approval. She gives up her career because he isn't comfortable with her working in Las Vegas. When he issues an ultimatum to choose between him and her sister, Heidi tells her sister to find a new place to live.
My only hope is that young girls watch the show with the same critical eye as I do.
What are your thoughts? Do you think young girls realize that Heidi and Audrina are in bad relationships and seeing that will help them indentify negative relationships in their lives? Or do you think young girls are just in awe of these characters' glamorous lives and strive to mirror them?
