‘The Hills’ Recap: Can Kristin And Brody Work As Friends With Benefits?

Plus, a sober Stephanie Pratt reenters the dating world. By Amy Wilkinson Looking good in a crop top, sometimes just isn’t enough to save a faltering friends-with-benefits relationship. Brody Jenner learned that lesson the hard way on Tuesday night’s episode of “The Hills,” as his budding romance with a new girl got in the way of his relationship with ex Kristin Cavallari. When Brody and Kristin decided to hook up last week, they were both clear that they loved the single life and that their relationship would just be casual — a fact Brody reiterated by announcing that he was going on a date with another girl. “I’m not looking for a relationship,” Brody reminded a plainly peeved Kristin. “I’m enjoying being single.” Meanwhile, the very un-single Audrina was trying to convince boyfriend Ryan Cabrera to go out with her and her dramatic friends — a crowd Ryan has gone to great lengths to avoid. “I’ll be waiting at home in my candy thong reading ‘Catcher in the Rye,’ ” he said, though he did end up being a good sport and going. After facing the stress of her DUI and distancing herself from brother Spencer, Stephanie told Lo that she felt like she was in a good place to start dating someone. And wouldn’t you know it, Lo had just the guy for her: her boyfriend Scott’s friend Max. Getting slightly ahead of herself, Stephanie wondered aloud how her potential date would react to her being 23 and sober. Lo told her not to worry. But Lo wasn’t the only girl dishing out relationship advice. Audrina met up for a chill evening at Kristin’s house, where they problem talked about Brody and Kristin’s little arrangement. “We’re having a good time,” Kristin explained. She then tried to dial up Brody on his cell, but the call went directly to voicemail, because Brody was on a date with new girl McKaela. “I have a no-phone-at-the-table rule,” McKaela informed him, prompting Brody to ignore the call. Brody rubbed his new flirtation in Kristin’s face even more by bringing McKaela out to meet the gang. “Kristin is going to flip out when she comes,” Audrina told Brody. Though Kristin didn’t necessarily “flip out,” she was visibly hurt by the slight — and the large amount of PDA going on between Brody and his date. After complaining to Kristin about how she was being unkind to his date, Brody and McKaela finally left the gathering for a little alone time. And then it was Stephanie’s turn to pursue new romantic possibilities. Stephanie went on a seemingly successful double date with new guy Max, with Lo and Scott in tow. At the end of the night, Max offered his jacket, and Stephanie offered her number. Kristin finally decided she needed to speak with Brody about what had happened a few nights before and went over to his condo for a chat, which quickly escalated into a heated argument. “You were being really rude being all over McKaela in front of me like that,” Kristin started. Brody replied that it was Kristin who had been rude by not paying attention to McKaela. By the time Brody finally admitted he liked both girls and was just having fun, Kristin had had enough. “I’m not going to wait around while you figure out what you want to do. It’s not fair,” she said. And with that, she stormed out of Brody’s condo. Do you think Brody and Kristin should get back together for real, or continue their casual relationship?

I’ve learned to let go. It’s been enlightening.” She knew that she had a good chance of winning after she scored a perfect score on Tuesday night. “After the tango, Derek and I started crying backstage,” she said. “It felt so good, and we knew we were going to be OK.” Scherzinger says she has Prince to thank for convincing her to go on the show that finally taught her not to be so type A all the time. “It’s not good being a perfectionist,” she said, summing up what she learned during her time on the competition.
