Although I do hope Gossip Girl garners better ratings than The Hills this week…

Nate getting with Vanessa make Blair unhappy this week.

…I understand if it doesn’t.

Last week, The Hills‘ attracted 3.75 million idiots with syphilis compared to Gossip Girl’s 2.5 discriminating, adorable, probably read a lot of Jane Austen viewers.

But Tallulah has a theory on why this is happening.

You see, the life and goals of the marginally retarded cast of The Hills to a majority of the
f**kwits who watch it seems attainable.

To a lot of people, MTV could come to their town or they could go to some countdown taping
and they could be selected out of the crowd to be anointed as worthy of a camera following them while they live their life.

it seems within reach and possible to have Heidi Montag’s dumb-ass life of creating product (album, clothes) that should be marketed as toxic waste instead of something anyone would purchase with real money.

And Gossip Girl?
No matter what viewers do …

whether they live in Aliceville, Kansas or Cameron Park, Montana or Beaver County, Pennsylvania or Staten Island, New York…

they are not going to be rolling financially like the fictional characters Blair, Serena, Nate and Chuck (I will say that Dan and his thieving little sister are the closest to the reality of most viewers)

simply because a MTV producer is burnt out and over the job anyway.

It’s okay though…the wannabes can have The Hills.  Me and the Gossip are doing fine without them.
