Tuesday's show was the series' lowest-rated premiere yet, with 2.1 million viewers tuning in. Still solid numbers for cable but a sharp decline from the 3 million viewers from last season¹s premiere in April and the 3.5 million from August 2008's opening episode.

Meanwhile, the second season premiere of The City- the spinoff show starring Hills alum Whitney Port- went up 43%, drawing more than 2 million viewers compared to the 1.6 million viewers who tuned in when the series debuted.
