Take a look at the eight newest additions to the Real World family and see if you can guess who's the overachiever, the self-described "sex addict," the former Hooters waitress, the big mouth, the rocker, the long distance lover, the class clown and the (supposedly) reformed wild child.

In what may very well be her last After Show appearance ever (our smile = gone), Lauren Conrad stopped by MTV's Toronto set last night for a live (and juicy!) chat with Jessi and Dan.

In between being assaulted with emotional/cringe-worthy clips from her early days on camera, the hosts drilled LC (in the nicest way possible) about attending Speidi's wedding, as well as being replaced on The Hills by her ex-nemesis, Kristin Cavallari.

Given her heavy history with Kristin during Laguna (not to mention the past few weeks!), it was somewhat of a surprise to hear that Lauren thinks K-Cav's takeover "will be really good for the show."

But what will become of our fave-ever reality TV good girl? Well, Lauren's mostly hoping life away from the cams will cut out a good chunk of daily drama. (Wethinks she should keep dreamin' -- girl's a magnet for that kinda shtuff!)

Check out last night's After Show for loads more of the dishity-dish.

Watching the Real World/Road Rules Challenges is like eating potato chips — once you start, you can’t stop. And since Wednesdays (at 10pm) always seem so far away, we’ll be sifting through the Challenge Dailies every weekday afternoon to give you your daily dose of The Duel 2. You’re welcome.

Get your minds out of the gutter, already! Landon has a girlfriend and Brit's pining away for some dude that soooo doesn't deserve her. But under different circumstances, these two could've been a match made in heaven! It's time for another rousing round of Fantasy Island! And Diem's spicy hot tub Q&A just turned up some very interesting info on the dream team ...

We have to hand it to Spencer Pratt. Although a long-awaited (and well-deserved) apology to Lauren Conrad didn't make his to-do list until last night's episode of The Hills, kid definitely took a cue from Cowboy Bill, stepped up and let a big, manly one rip. Straight to the point, Spence delivered a powerful takesies-backsies (and one that was apparently HIS FIRST EVER?!?).

Below, we've gone ahead and written out Spencer and LC's jaw-dropping phone conversation. Read it over (while softly playing some Radiohead to get the full effect), then tell us whether you think his 'sorry' was sincere, and if Lauren should accept it.

Lauren: Hello?

Spencer: It's your former best friend, Spencer Pratt here. Don't hang up yet. This is my first apology in about 24 years. You know what, Lauren, I'm the most sorry ever in my life for spreading all the rumors about the sex tape and putting all that out there, and obviously I can't take that back and I'm sorry for your family and your friends and anyone else that you know, was hurt by what I did to you.

Despite Heidi's numerous attempts to make up, Lauren's mostly given her former friend the brushoff ever since the "you're-a-sucky-person" incident. And as happens with most big fights, the surrounding Hillzies found themselves in the uncomfortable position of having to take sides.

Natch, Lo immediately came down in support of LC, Steph and Holly jumped into the role of (unsolicited) peacemaker and Audrina -- though initially conflicted -- ultimately joined Team Lauren when Heidi opted to trade in those girls' nights for large blocks of uninterrupted Spencer time. But the minute talk turned to Heidi's wedding, Lauren learned that her entire support system had defected to the other side!

Yep, Holly and Steph are no surprise (they are, after all, related to the bride/groom!), but Lo and Audrina shocked us by cavalierly announcing that they, too -- along with Brody -- would be attending Speidi's nuptials.

+ Think LC's posse should've checked with her before renewing ties with her arch rival? Take the poll and let us know whether Lo and the gang committed an act of generosity -- or the ultimate betrayal -- by RSVPing "Yes" to Heidi's wedding.

Straight outta the Sex and the City playbook, Audrina, LC, Lo and Stephanie met for brunch and Mimosas on the latest Hills episode ... and then reminisced about the days when they all hated each other. As they raised their glasses, Lo exclaimed, "Cheers to how far we've come!" True dat, sis. Cuz it really wasn't so long ago when Steph was out for LC's blood...

When she first arrived on the scene, Stephanie Pratt (then known to the public as She-Pratt), had a super 'tude with a potty mouth to match. Spencer and Heidi were her "family," and she wasn't going to let anyone mess with them, especially not Lauren Conrad.

But these days Steph's a pussycat who jumps at the sound of a People's Revolution phone ring. In honor of her metamorphosis from psycho to sweetheart, we present this Season 3 episode of The Hills, in which Steph labels Lauren and Audrina "the evil side." Check it out after the jump!

We're less than a week away 'til it's time to say goodbye to Lauren Conrad on The Hills, so it's no shock that the latest episode was so LC-centric. Will she or won't she go to Speidi's wedding???

Granted, we've all seen the reports that Lauren did indeed attend the wedding (ditto Stacie the Bartender ... sketchy!) But boy, isn't it fun to play along with all the show's cliffhangers? Team Detox squealed with glee when Spencer called up LC to apologize for the whole "sex tape thing." Not to mention Heidi's surprise drop-in at People's Revolution!

An episode this epic demands an epic recap, so get ready for the debut of my shady, wacky weatherman cousin, Jam Cantiello, as well as some time-traveling Jims from the past and future. (Between Lost, Star Trek and Terminator Salvation, time-traveling is the latest go-to plot point.)

So buckle up (the correct way, Stephanie!!) and enjoy the latest Detox recap of The Hills!

Although Lauren Conrad was never super enthused over Justin Bobby, she's already given Audrina Patridge's rumored new squeeze her official stamp of approval. "[Chris Pine] is a really cute guy, and I'm happy for her," LC told Usmagazine.com when asked about Drina's budding relationship with the Star Trek stud.

And while Audrina has yet to speak out about her intergalactic romance, Lauren's standing behind her former roomie all the way. Asked whether Audrina and Chris make a cute couple, LC brightly answered, "Sure!" Think she's right? Take the poll and tell us your opinion!

Unfortunately -- or fortunately, depending on your point of view -- Diem's attempt to Bring It On devolves into a one-woman tumbling act. Luckily, onlookers Evan, Rachel and Aneesa don't really seem to mind.
