A Hollywood Ending...

and that is exactly what it was...

In the final scene,

star Kristin Cavallari is shown on the street saying goodbye

to her former love Brody Jenner.

Cavallari has decided to go to Europe to "find herself." The two bid farewell, and the audience is treated to a montage of scenes from the entire series set to a remix of the show's theme song,
"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield.  (which I LOVED by the way)

Then, Cavallari gets into the back of a black car that is presumably headed for the airport. Jenner watches mournfully as the car drives off into the distance.

But then the camera pans out to reveal a fake, Hollywood backdrop (as an MTV.com article describes it). As the background slips away, it appears as though at least some of the final scene has taken place not on a Los Angeles street corner, but on a studio set.

As camera operators and other production staff begin breaking down the set, Cavallari gets out of the sedan and into the arms of a waiting Jenner.

She was never going to the airport.

The entire scene was fake, and the status of the couple's relationship, if it ever even existed,

 is now up in the air, along with the rest of the show's plotlines.

Like many contemporary TV finales, this one is open to interpretation.

"The Hills,"

which since 2006 has revolved around the minute and often banal details of the friendships and love lives of privileged twentysomethings, has been called fake since it began.

Audiences were already aware that the show's producers played a role in setting up confrontations.

It could be that the ending was a joke, just the show's producers winking at the audience. After all, as the credits roll, the camera continues to pan out until it's revealed that it's in a helicopter, and the final image looks down upon the 'Hollywood' sign as if to say, "Hey, it's Hollywood: Nothing in this town is totally real."

I, personally, loved the ending!

It fit the show perfectly,

because everyone was always gossiping if it was truly real or scripted!

Scripted or Real... I didn't really care...

(I mean what "reality show" out there is really a reality anyways)

I mainly watched for the fashion...

I loved tuning in every Tuesday night to see what outfits and shoes the girls were wearing!

And also for the music, they always had great music!

I mean HELLO they did have Miss Lady GaGa on the show before she made it BIG! :)
