The Hills 4x17 is here and it's all about trust! It's all about how you can't have friends if there is no trust. Do you agree? Well, Audrina and Lauren decide to hash out their fight. In Speidi land? They are hanging out with Nana Pratt. Yup, another family member because they have no friends. 

In 2021, Speidi is still causing issues with their co-stars! Speidi recently went on on a rant about Jason and Ashley Wahler, which I recap. Get prepared because they are still messy as ever.

This week on The Hills, we are reminded about when Audrina spread a nasty little rumor about Lauren! That's right, this is the Lauren and Justin rumor episode! What did I take from this episode? I would never want to be on Lauren's bad side. Is Audrina trying to become the main character? I go into detail about what I think about this little rumor.

This week we go over The Hills season 4 episode 15, where we are realizing Lauren is very much a side character on her own show. This episode is jam packed with drama though! We find out that Holly is living with the Laurens, Speidi also find out. Audrina is falling head over heels for Justin Bobby while her sister Casey is like, wait a minute. Oh and there's no Brody in this episode! Maybe he is busy looking for his hug.

The Hills 4x12 is basically an Audrina take over! There is barely any Lauren, a bit of Stephanie, a bit of Brody, and even a snippet of Brandy. Yeah, that's right, the legendary singer Brandy makes an appearance! The episode mostly revolved around Audrina's love life, the triangle she has found herself in with Corey and Justin Bobby is about to break. So who does she choose? Well, I will tell you what, it's not the right choice in the end.

Also this week, Brigette Myer (@buildwithbrigette on Tiktok & Instagram) joins to talk about some of our favorite nostalgic shows. We talk Seth and Summer, One Tree Hill, M*rk Schw*nn, body positivity and more!
