Conrad, who was getting through life as a fashion student and intern in Los Angeles.
At least, thats what it was until Spencer Pratt joined the cast in 2007.
Thats where everything fell apart.

Thats when Pratt became reality TVs newest villain.
People are always like, Why dont you get a real job?'
Its like, whats a real job?
A real job is making entertainment.
If that means I gotta just Snapchat for free right now, thats what Im gonna do.
post-Laguna Beach we called up Pratt to talk aboutThe Hillsand life after it.
Heres what we learned.
He was running late because he decided to go get a haircut after his jiu jitsu class.
These arent the fancy $500 haircuts of his past, though.
So hes like my supporting cast member.
Pratt wishes he wasthebiggest reality TV villain, not just one of the biggest reality TV villains.
My only regret is I didnt go far enough, he says.
Simon Cowell, hes the most famous ahole in the world!
How did I not surpass him?
I should have put myself in situations where I could have been like, Youre a liar!
Hell say he doesnt want to talk about the sex tape scandal and then will anyway.
My mom asked me to stop talking about L.C.
So instead of pleading the fifth, Ive gotta plead the mom here.
Then he continues to vow that he didnt start anything.
Being seen as a villain has affected his self-esteem.
Even though hes had haters since at least seventh grade.
This is a TV show with music and gloss.
They never film one scene where the cameras are off tripods.
I just thought the audience was way smarter than obviously they are, so that was frustrating …
But no, Im just some crazy reality star …
So, yeah, I guess it definitely hurt my self-esteem.
Their friendship eventually dissolved, though Pratt says theyre back on track now.
He knows that I got too deep in my character, and I just blew it, he says.
The other night we FaceTimed for seven-and-a-half hours.
Were just teenage girls, no big deal.
He really, truly loves reality TV.
Hes, obviously, the opposite.
Its a really cool medium that I just think people still dont even appreciate, he says.
Hes obsessed withFriday Night Lights.
I was like, freaking out.
The guy cant catch a break.
Like, really obsessed.
Spencer Pratt, hes just like us.
Hed love to do scripted television.
I think Im just too typecast.
Thats why Im growing this beard.
Im trying to look likeRagnarfrom the History Channel.
Im trying to create this whole new persona.
That hasnt worked the way he wants it to at least not yet.
Lately its been like, Is that beard a disguise?
Im like, I guess its not working.
If I could choose one or the other, give me the freakin Batman outfit all day long.
I would much rather go make believe to the next level.
I would love to at least be in an indie film.
Even if were not at Sundance, Ill take the Santa Barbara Film Festival or something.
Hes dabbled in wizardry.
But hes also tried out other unconventional methods like… wizardry.
I spent thousands of dollars having a wizard coach, he says.
Being a wizard, its pretty heavy.
Now I just love to look at them, because Ive moved past them having powers, he says.
If they had powers, I would be Kim Kardashian right now and not Spencer.
Montag wants him to go to church more, but a bodily issue is holding him back.
Heidi says, Jesus is your tool.
Pray to God, he says.
Dont bother recommending diapers; hes already thought of that.
My mom definitely got them for me, he says.
Because she knows how many times I pull over on a road trip.
He loves Montag so much that he wakes up to her Turn Ya Head each morning.
I think the song was designed for a nightclub, not to wake you up.
I love her more every day, he says.
And theyre looking to bring their own little miracle into the world soon.
The clock is over on the waiting, so in 2017, the spawn of Speidi will be created.
Mark your calendars or maybe just lock your doors.
