If Sarah Palin has spawned a new drinking game for all the times she's used the word "maverick," then one also needs to be implemented for the girls of The Hills, surrounding the (major over) use of the words "best friend." It was only said four times last night (yes, I went back and counted as I am a loyal TV Watcher), but could you imagine how drunk you would be if you played the Hills BFF Drinking Game (yes, that's the name I'm going to use to market it) while watching an entire season on DVD? Maybe I should try it out next week and then write this recap. I bet my editors would just love correcting all of my inevitable spelling errors and random rants about facial hair!
Those loathsome BF initials (mostly for "best friend," but in Audrina's case, for "boyfriend") were the focus of last night's episode. Before we get to Audrina's BF issues, though, let's focus on Lauren's because, even though I'd rather skip over anything having to do with her ever rekindling her friendship with Heidi, I know it's a necessary evil that comes with the territory.
So Lauren expressed to Lo, who apparently now goes by the nickname Lo-ey (does that mean I should be referring to Audrina as Audriny?), that she was excited to hang out with Holly later on that night but was worried that "she wants to play matchmaker with me and her sister." Uh, matchmaker? I can't decide if the use of that term there is creepy or innovative. But anyway, it turns out that Lauren was (go figure) right, Holly was channeling some sort of twisted version of Cupid.
Over lunch with said Cupid that same day, Heidi gave her typical woe-is-me speech about losing her — all together now — best friend, only this time, she almost cracked a little bit and started crying. Either that, or my janky 12 inch TV screen made it look like her eyes got red and watery (mental note: Invest in an HDTV, stat). "I think Lauren thinks she was the only one hurt in this," Heidi confessed, "You know, I've been the one on my own, and to lose my best friend, and to lose all of my friends, you know, it's just been so hard." Holly's solution? Oh, that Heidi should write Lauren an old-fashioned letter. Don't get me wrong, I do appreciate Holly's benevolent and straightforward nature, but this is 2008, not 1908. We have a thing called e-mail and, for that matter, Facebook. Also, what made either of them think that a handwritten note was going to be the missing key to unlock this long-lost friendship treasure?
