Is M.Night Shyamalan Behind The Fakery That Was "The Hills" Series Finale?

Yea I know this picture is old--look at Heidi, she's still flesh and not yet all plasticly. These were the good 'ol days when we believed that "The Hills" was at least 75% real...no 57% tops real (and yes Heidi's top too!). But on the series finale, MTV shows us just how real the show really is...as Kristin Cavallari and Brody Jenner say their goodbyes, we see a fake Hollywood backdrop emerge. It was like some awful twist in a M.Night Shyamalan movie. I guess MTV didn't care, because they got their check in the mail. However, the stars of the show still claim the show isn't staged. I guess this is one way to keep people talking about the show now that it is gone...
