      So slightly infuriating when Whit doesn't remember her whole life when I can recall every little detail... then I remember she lived it and doesn't need to remember it, and it's kind of endearing to know she doesn't watch her own show 50,000 times and then I'm not infuriated anymore 😂 😂 😂

    Whitney, in a previous reaction video you stated that you wish you could of been assertive and direct like Lauren, however I feel during the City, particularly when you stood up for yourself with Jay and did not take him back, you were to be admired! You also spoke with grace and not agression. You should feel proud of yourself and how thoughtful and introspevtive you were at such a young age.

  • @ChefPugaBear

    I like Spike he has good energy. I also like that he was the one to encourage Tim to ask her father for her hand in marriage. May he rest in peace. On another note its so trippy to hear Whit speak about her private love life and how that could work as a story line. It still confuses me. But the romantic in me loves that Tim was there with her all along but neither of them knew yet that they would be each others one.

  • @MikeCa33
    @MikeCa33 4 года назад +8

    Tim and Whit! I remember when The City first aired, there was a scene (at the end) with Olivia and Erin-it was some big reveal in a conference room where Joe was going to decide whose idea was better. This moment stands out for me BECAUSE the show used the Eurythmics “Sweet Dreams” over it, when Joe went with Erin. There was some GREAT music in the original airings, but this BY FAR was one of the most epic overlays of music in the whole series. I think it might have been the only time they went old school (music wise) I can only imagine what that cost production. Do you guys remember this? Any thoughts?
    Love the videos,
    Mike C.

    Out of all the women in the hills universe, Whitney snagged the best husband. I mean can you imagine any of the other Hills couples having so much entertaining RUclips content? Really fab partnership, you can tell Whit is comfortable, giving us a side of herself that we did not see on reality tv.

Would’ve loved to hear how she was cast since she had no ties with anyone else on the show (i.e. Jay, Adam, Allie, Nevan) and she wasn’t anyone from Whitney’s past (like Erin Lucas).

    The producer is positive and focus on what’s next what had to end what had potential and on and on. That kind of accessibility is way small. IrpirTions need to have all this jobs posted with certain expectations will never help young dreamers start on something good and have that opportunity is great best luck Timmy you can actually produce a show or independent movie.
