Spencer Pratt's Five-Part Guide to Being the Worst Boyfriend on Televison
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 7:30 AM on August 20, 2008
While The Hills returned to MTV last night with all the girl-on-girl drama and awkward pauses we've come to know and love, it was the Heidi-and-Spencer subplot that gained most of our attention. Sure, the storyline seemed simple on its face — Heidi's sister comes to stay with the pair, a development that forces Spencer to grit his teeth — but beneath the surface, Spencer's passive aggression was at full blast. With the help of Molly McAleer, we've assembled five moments from last night's episode that best illustrate Spencer's unique approach to controlling the woman in your life. When Heidi's cry for help comes, will we hear it — or it will be buried under ProTools? [MTV]

Spencer Pratt is a sociopath! Everyone can see it but no one knows what to call it! There is no way that he`ll admit to being that way and he`ll probably just get worse the longer he get`s what he wants. Everyone will probably think that Heidi is one too but she`s not. She is the classic victim of a sociopath and will either get worse and die (her free will not her life) under his control, OR ( and this is what I`m sure most people are secretly hoping for) She`ll come to her sense, get rid of the crazy manipulative loser and call Lauren to get help.
Understanding the Pratt Desease will be easy once everyone is on the same side!

@Old No.7: The italics made me think you dropped your voice down to a sinister Clint Eastwood level. And it's well deserved. These people are scum and undeserving of basic human needs, such as love, or clean water.

I didn't like these type of people when I was in Junior High, at the mall, when they are waiting on my table, cutting my hair, or cleaning out the porta potty at the local fair... or like anywhere. Can't even stand sharing an intersection with them. So why would I invite them into my living room, on my TV? And why is anyone else?
Oh, and the dumb blond chick needs to ditch the dumb blond dude.

He never fails to look like he lives in a cardboard box resting atop a dirty mattress in a rundown alley in drunktown.
What I'm trying to say is, he needs to shave whatever that is on his face off.

Spencer is like a cross between a facial-hair-impaired shark and a psychopath (sociopath?).
One of these days, he's going to fully lose his mind and go nuts. . . . . it would make the show more interesting, though.

@Diziet_Sma: I'm pretty sure last time Gawker commenters attempted to do that, someone wound up getting their own show on Bravo. I'm just saying... It sounds like a nice theory, but I wouldn't count on it.

My wife pointed out the "amusing irony" that he's freaked about Heidi's sister potentially crashing for a little while as she tries to find her own place, when last season he just dropped in on his sister, took up residence on her couch for god-knows-how-long, and wouldn't even pay attention when his sister was clearly trying to kick his useless ass out, because he wasn't even attempting to find his own place.

I love it how they keep re-introducing douchy Spencer as Heidi's boyfriend. I mean doesn't most of the Western world know that his face should be included among those of Stalin, Hitler and the 43rd president of the United States as evil personified?

I find it hard to believe that no one in the Hollywood club scene, the Hollywood gym scene, the Hollywood car wash scene or the Hollywood gas station scene hasn't rained blows down on this power DB's fleshy Van Dyke. Yeah, I know violence solves nothing, but really, there isn't much to figure out here, other than a reality check. This is LA, somewhere there's a 'roided out dimwit who has a short fuse and nothing to lose... Where are you?

@Oxycontinmoron: With all due respect; that comparison undermines three-day-old-hard-to digest-oysters. I truly believe they have more integrity than Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

I am amazed that this is even considered a real show and that they get "celebrity" out of it. What a waste of flesh they all are.
I love all the comments under the video though!

i know that with our nation's current obsession with reality television, we're left for the most part without any quality programming to immerse ourselves in, but whether we're watching this crap out of love or hate, aren't we partly responsible for the sad, pathetic outlook of our people by supporting this bile in watching a group of superficial, overprivileged children whine about their silver platter existences while the rest of us average schmucks trudge through real life? maybe i'm biased because nothing has ever been handed to me, but what ever happened to giving our respect and attention to those who earn it?
if i'm alone then i'll shut the fuck up.

PS...if this is real, I demand a vicious murder-suicide season finale. Barring that, something that resembles the plot of Havoc.

I can't take this fake BS. Please put the Facts of Life 2008 on TV or Silver Spoons II. Anything but THIS!
This sets a bad example to the other idiots of the world that you can sit around and hang out looking great and spending money while doing nothing and talking about nothing.

That just struck me as very badly scripted. The only think I hate more than people who act that way are people who think it's okay to pretend that they act that way. How sick is it that they are willing to look like trash so they can be famous?

I am proud to say I have never watched "The Hills." The #1 way to ensure that Spencer finds the obscurity he deserves: Everyone stops watching the show.
