Kristin Cavallari may be a b*tch, but that's not enough to get people to tune into MTV's scripted reality show The Hills. The season six premiere pulled in the lowest numbers in the series' premiere history!
Lauren Conrad jumped ship after last season. Is LC's departure the reason why numbers are down, or has too much evidence about all of the show's fakery begun to take its toll? Are we now officially over Speidi and tuning out because Heidi Montag and Spencer are cast members? Or have we lost interest?
Tuesday's show was the series' lowest-rated premiere yet, with 2.1 million viewers tuning in, a sharp decline from the 3 million viewers from last season's premiere in April and the 3.5 million from August 2008's opening episode.
Although viewership is down, The Hills remains the top program on television in its time slot in the 12-34 demo that the network targets. Scary! The Hills still pulls in good advertising revenue for the most coveted demographic. Once The Hills begins to lose its highly targeted viewers, then I think we'll have a chance at this show getting canceled and paving the way for the inevitable Speidi 'Newlyweds' spin-off. Which is a good thing cause it will be the catalyst of their demise!

This is just the beginning. I bet the show will be off air in two years!! I didn't watch because LC wasn't there and because I can't deal with Speidi! You know LC is laughing her ass off right now.

Why won't Heidi and Spencer just disappear already? I am keeping tabs on the ratings for season six but refuse to watch the show without Lauren. Kristin sux and she won't be able to breathe life into the show.

I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE CHANGE THE WHOLE ENTIRE CAST IF THEY WERE GOING TO BRING KRISTIN ON. AT LEAST HER REAL FRIENDS. W/LC YOU KNOW MOST OF THE PEOPLE WERE HER REAL FRIENDS WHICH MADE THE SHOW A LITTLE REAL. NOW ITS LIKE EVERYONE IS JUST JUMPING IN EACH OTHER LIVES AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW.
