The Hills Season 6: Lowest Ratings, Like, Ever!
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!
