The Hills vs. Gossip Girl: Which Finale Was Better?

Taking a cue from The Hills’ dramatic season finale, last night’s Gossip Girl turned some hardcore tricks. In under 20 minutes, just about everyone broke up with their signifs and rounded up inappropriate summer flings.

Let’s run the numbers:
Breakups: 3-ish
Serena/Dan, Vanessa/Nate, Chuck/Blair (does it count if the relationship started and ended within the same episode?)

Hot Action: 3
Rufus/Lily (home base), Chuck/Blair (dance floor make-out session), Dan/Georgina (everything but…?)

Humiliations: 6 (at least)
Georgina sent to boot camp, Bart finding out Lily banged Rufus right before the wedding, Dan realizing he was totally played by “Sarah,” Nate’s dad getting knocked out, Serena wearing way too many ruffles.

Awkward Pauses In the Midst of Humiliations/General Discomfort:
Not nearly enough. Watch how the pros do it.

i would say gossip girl.
the second to last episode of the hills kinda gave it all away. i pretty much knew exactly what was going to happen. no surprise.
but gossip girl... now that was intense.

Gossip Girl by FAR. I'm in love, I'm in love. The Hills is alright, good soundtrack, but its sometimes too predictable.

I WAS HOPING MORE FROM GG, IT WAS LIKE TOO HAPPY. I WANT SOME BLOOD OR MORE DRAMA BUT IT WAS SO HAPPY.
ON THE HILLS I DIDN'T SUPPORT HEIDI'S DESITION OF LEAVE A GOOD JOB FOR THAT SPENCER DUDE CAUSE HE IS NOT MAKING MONEY AND HEIDI DOES, AND EVEN BETTER IF SHE CAN DO MORE.

the hills is real peoples lives
gossip girl is fiction
the producers of gossip girl can make up what they like
they're obviously gonna have a better cliffhanger

what r u girls on the hills by far was better reality is always better + everyone on gossip girl is so majorly FAKE!!!
shelley says:

I don't think you can compare these shows because they are totally different. gossip girl is a serie and the hills is a reallife soap.
although it has the same sort of storyline
I do think that gossip girl had more drama.

gossip girl, it's much better than the hills, also heidi and lauren are not friends anymore and the show becomes boring.
Anastasia II says:

I like the hills (TEAM Audrina + Whitney!) but Gossip Girl is just WAY BETTER!!
More Interesting and and just so much more fun to watch. Besides come on, the drama in Gossip Girl is way hotter.

GOSSIP GIRL WAS SO MUCH BETTER BY FAR!
honestly the hills is becoming lame with all the same "she's my friend" "no she was my friend first" "dont be friends with her" crap. we all kno lauren cant stand heidi and wont ever be friends with her, heidi will always choose spencer, audrina will always be caught in the middle of something, whitney will have nothing interesting to say and lo hogging lauren.
Gossip girl is by far better than the hills!

hey so not gossip girls.....its all about the hills...gossip girl is a script show.the hills is actual real life...
melanie says:

9:16 on 05/21

I would definitely say the hills because its not scripted so the drama is more realistic and it actually happened
Simone says:

10:04 on 05/21

Gossip Girl was the better finale- but its new..The Hills is more like family now, and still VERY good. I only wish The Hills was on a bit earlier, but im still glad I can watch it online...

but will always remain Team Lauren :)

GOSSIP GIRL was way better than the hills. How could we compare a scripted reality show with a real scripted " drama " show ??? I LOVE BOTH SHOWS .. but I believe the hills is time to get out of the spot and give chances to another stories for a hot spot on monday for MTV.

XOXO
