Monday's episode of The Hills started with LC and pals at beach BBQ thrown by Brody Jenner in Malibu. Once again, it's a tad annoying that we went in knowing he broke his finger during a football game on the beach. But it was, for the most part, entertaining.
The bash, of course, happened on the same weekend that Brody's quote-unquote publicist, Spencer Pratt, was asked by Heidi Montag to go meet her parents in Colorado.
Brody was upset to hear this, and ripped Spencer for going, calling him "married guy" and saying that a true pal "wouldn't flake out on his homies." True dat, yo.
By and large, Spencer did a nice job with Heidi's folks, although we take serious issue with Heidi saying she always wanted a guy like her dad - and that she got that in Pratt. We found Heidi's dad to be a nice, normal guy, thus making this statement really confusing.
Later, Heidi tried at length to justify her love for Pratt, and Spencer himself was awkwardly thrust into the "heart-to-heart" talk with Mr. Montag. Somehow, the evil one utilized his Revenge of the Sith mind-control techniques to seem like a normal human.
Back at the party, Audrina Patridge was having a great time with boyfriend Justin-Bobby. For some reason, she was all about this guy. That is, until he started flirting with other girls, then ditched the event without telling anyone.
He even left Audrina's bike helmet at Brody's. Classy move.
Lauren Conrad then consoled Audrina Patridge after she miraculously realized what the rest of America already knew - that Justin-Bobby is an absolute waste of space.
In the immortal words of LC: "Homeboy wore combat boots ... to the beach!"
Amen. By far the cutest part of the season so far came when a teary-eyed LC and Audrina Patridge began talking about love and boys in front of the fire - having had a few too many drinks at the party - while trading the requisite hugs and supportive comments.
Awwwww. For one scene, The Hills felt like actual reality again. Cute girls drinking too much, talking about feelings and saying how much they love each other after one of them is spurned by a guy! Who hasn't seen this 50 times at parties!?

I think Spencer is an abusive boyfriend on the low or in the making. He is very controling in a sneaky way. Once/If they get married Heidi will see what kind of person he is, I have seen this type of relationship one too many times. A hint to an abusive guy is he tries to isolate you from your closest friends and family so that you have no one else to turn to once the abuse starts. I really hope Heidi wakes up out of the daze Spencer has her in and sees what everyone else sees. She needs to take the advice of her mother and work things out with Lauren. Lauren is true friend and seems to read people very well. Everyone who says Lauren needs to stay out of her friends personal lives are not being real. When you live with someone their troubles become your troubles. And do you people realise that her friends come to her and vent so its only natural that she is going to defensive because she cares about them. Me and my friends are the same way because we are real friends and love each other. As for Audrina she will learn when the time is right what Mr. Justin Bobby is all about. Just rememeber that without heartbreak you will never know what real love is. I wish the best of luck and happiness to the whole cast of Hills.

"By and large, Spencer did a nice job with Heidi's folks..."
Are you kidding me? He did a terrible job and he convinced no one. I got the vibe that her parents hated him. He came off as trying too hard and fake, fake, fake.

I highly doubt that heidi's parents enjoyed their time with heidi and "fiance" spencer. Her mother kept bringing up the fake that heidi has no friends because of spencer (true, she was not fooled), and her father knew that heidi has everything invested in spencer because again she has no friends because of spencer.
young and naive. They need to both do some growing up before they become the next divorced and feuding couple.

I can't believe I'm so wrapped up in this show but damn it, it is so entertaining. heidi is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Spencer is so obviously manipulating her. He tries to say Lauren wants heidi all to herself, but really he's the one that wants that. I just feel really bad for her at this point. (maybe not that bad)She's in so deep now and eventually everyone will just be saying "I told you so"

I totally agree with Sunshine and had the exact same feeling. He is an abuser! He controls who her friends are, who she can speak with, and even the apartment. And truly believe her parents feel the same way Here are the signs.
1. Did you see his face when he walked in and she was painting the wall? His smile was very forced, and that would not have been the outcome if the cameras weren't rolling.
3. When the rumor came out his statements practically verified he did it. But he did it to ensure Heidi and Lauren were no longer friends.
2. He consistently gets caught in lies and gets defensive when confronted about them.
3. He controls who her friends are and who she can and cannot speak with to the point where the only friends she now has are the friends of his. She did point this out to her mother.
4. Now he is trying to tell Brody who he can and cannot be friends with. I hope Brody doesn't cave like Heidi did.
5. He didn't even ask her Dad for her hand in marriage. This is a classic sign.
Why won't Heidi answer her parents questions? Why does she want the subject dropped? Why didn't she go out of her way to prove she and Spencer did not say anything about a sex tape?
Once a person like this starts to lose control it is very scary, and people do get hurt. Heidi should run, not walk away from this relationship as soon as possibe. If she is lucky, Lauren will be there to help her pick up the pieces.

That was Heidi's step-father, not her biological father.
