I sincerely hope that you can sense my sarcasm in the headline.

Fans of The Hills were given a huge “shock” during the final moments of the series finale on Tuesday, July 13. They watched as Kristin Cavallari and Brody Jenner had an emotional good-bye, where Kristin allegedly was off to Europe to get in touch with herself.

But as Brody stood on an empty street watching her go, the cameras panned out, and the illusion was forever broken: Brody stood in a Hollywood lot with camera crews surrounding him…and Kristin’s car was parked several feet away. She came out of her car, hugged Brody, and that was the end of the reality show that had engrossed fans for six seasons.

I, for one, am not shocked. At all.

Brody even told fans on the after show that it was up to them to decide what was really real and what was really scripted. After all, it wasn’t all fake. Heidi and Spencer did get legally married. And I’m sure not all of the relationships were scripted.

But I have to bow my head to producers for taking the jump and letting the world know that those lovable, catty folks from The Hills are actors. And I have to chuckle at all of those fans who didn’t realize they were watching drama…not reality.
