In another spinoff from The Hills, Lauren's former love interest and all-around good guy friend, Brody Jenner, will have his own show. The show called "Bromance" will debut on MTV Monday December 29th, in the absence of The Hills.

Brody's show will be yet another reality contest in the tradition of the Apprentice or Paris Hilton's Best Friend show as it will feature contestants going through challenges to try to become part of Brody's entourage. These challenges will be everything from skydiving to dealing with paparazzi. Each show will end with a "Hot Tub Elimination Ceremony" where a contestant is sent home in a wet swimsuit with their luggage. According to an MTV senior VP:
