Is The Hills scripted or real?
Show producers have said that they've tried to keep The Hills as authentic as possible.
Without the use of typical reality television "confessionals," producers have tried their best to relay cast emotions as scenes unfold.
Creator Adam DiVello , “if we wrote the show, we would have had much bigger story lines than what we were dealing with. I think we would have had gigantic, soap-opera-type story lines. We were kind of shackled to the reality of what these people’s situations were.”
DiVello also said that he accepted that there were times when they would miss certain things that happen off-camera, and in those instances, they would need to be re-created by the cast.
After they had all the footage they needed, production would rework it in editing.
Over the years, some of the cast have claimed that they were forced to create tension in the series because that’s what the show-runners wanted.
Cast member Audrina Patridge told :
“As it went on, it was very manipulated and guided and you’re kinda put in these scenarios where you would show up and you didn’t know what you were in for until you were there, and you wanted to run out but they locked the door on you.
