In February 2011, Cavallari told "Access Hollywood" that the cast followed a "schedule" of events to be filmed on a given day, adding, "We only filmed "The Hills" three days a week, and we did three different scenes each day and a change of clothes to film a specific scene [...] They were pushing it as far as they could go without an actual script... They give you a schedule like, 'You have lunch with Heidi at 3 to talk about the party coming up' or whatever the situation may be". She had earlier commented that she felt viewers "need to understand it's all entertainment" and she "would never put [her close friends or a real relationship on a show".
