Stephanie Pratt on Her 'Real Love,' Speidi's Separation and Life After The Hills

It's almost a cliche at this point for reality stars to complain about how they are edited on the show. But do you share that sentiment or do you feel like The Hills version of Stephanie is pretty true to yourself?

I definitely complain. The first episode [this season] I got blamed for starting those rumors about Kristin['s drug use]. Obviously, a tabloid had been reporting that but we couldn't say that on the show. So producers came to me and asked me to approach her. It sucked that after three years on the show, I had to be blamed for that. But it's my job. I can't say no. The producers need to tell the story. We are on the show to entertain people. I started looking at it like any other job, but that episode just sucked when I got blamed for that.

It seems like you, Lo and Audrina have really become the voices of reason this season. Is that something you are conscious of while filming?

Lo has always always been like that. She is my best friend off the show. I always go to her for advice. She's a really old soul, she has a great sense of character and I feel like she has just been like that always. But I just think that just came from hanging out with her and Audrina. I don't drink and they don't party that much so we just look at everything from a different angle.

You and Brody are both dating new characters this season on the show. How does that work out with production? Do they have to be screened first?

Well, the producers know everything about us. So if we are dating someone, they just find out stuff on their own. They'll say, "Oh, I saw you were having dinner with your new boyfriend."

How do they find out? Do you think MTV has someone following cast members and tapping your phone lines?

[Laughs] No, we will just be on set telling each other about the night before -- if we had a date or whatever. They just know. We are so close with the crew. We are like a big family -- there are no secrets from each other.

That's not annoying?

It's actually nice because the crew is like our ages and they hang out with us. We all just went to Costa Rica and they totally hang out with us. The same crew has been working with Audrina since the start of the show, and for me, I've known these people for three years. They are just like really close friends. We have all their numbers.

How would you like the series to end? Do you have any idea of what MTV is planning for the finale?

I think what they are going to do is show everyone leaving the show and showing a part of what they are moving into. You know -- like if they are in a relationship, or if someone is moving out of their house... what everyone is going on to after the show.
