Like OMG! I Totally Forgot To Announce A Winner! - TVgasm

by B-side

Remember back in January when I announced a Laguna Beach giveaway? No? Well, I did. I wanted readers to submit proof that they were the ultimate Laguna Beach fans, and in return, they'd win a free copy of Laguna Beach: Life Inside the Bubble from Simon & Schuster. Several months have passed without any news of a winner since then, and that's pretty much my fault. I know -- that's like totally standard. I guess when you're no longer paying attention to the daily struggles in The 'Guna, life can seem empty and directionless. Simple things like contest results no longer have the same urgency. Well, fear not! At long last, I have finally buckled down and decided upon our winners. The wait is finally dunzo.

Winners after the jump...

Winner #1

The first winner is TVgasm reader Courtney, who devised a drinking game based on Laguna Beach. Granted, the rules tend to focus more on season one, but I'm sure she'd have no trouble adapting and updating the game for season two. The game could probably use a few J-Wahl and Jessica rules thrown in for good measure. And Casey too. And Alex M. And Roz. Okay, so there's a lot of room for growth. But I liked the effort Courtney put into actually creating a game that we could all enjoy.

Courtney displays the rules...

The Rules:

1. Each player chooses a different character.  When that character's name is said, the player must drink.

Drink when:

2. Kristen and LC say they hate each other.

3. Kristen complains about something.

4. Stephen and Kristen argue.

5. LC makes "googly eyes" at Stephen.

6. Lo talks in a high-pitched voice.

7. Kristen says "Stee-phaaaan!"

8. Someone is shown surfing.

9. Someone is shown shopping.

10. A corny word or phrase is used: aka "dunzo", "stoked", etc.

Winner #2

Okay, this is some pretty impressive dedication. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Matt and his sidekick Gaby. I'm calling Gaby the sidekick because Matt was the one who actually submitted these photos. The truth is that these two clearly have a passion for both Laguna Beach AND TVgasm, as evidenced by their intense love of Roz (a.k.a. Alex H. for you newbies. I could explain the derivation of "Roz," but it's just too complicated. Check out the Laguna archives). Not only did these guys create a Roz collage, but they actually met the champion sidekick and took pictures with her. Plus, they also took some fun potshots at our favorite Mormon chipmunk, Morgan. How can we deny that? Well done, guys.

B-S,

You know the part in your post when you say you are announcing the winners in no particular order, and then you put them in a numerical order as winner #1 and winner #2? Yeah, that was cool.

Oh, Madeyoulaugh, so snarky. By the way have you broken out in any strange rashes from your encounter with Paris(ite)?

Like I keep telling my mom, TVgasm readers are actually really good looking.

Well, I meant more like Winner #1 wasn't necessarily better than Winner #2. But I can see how my language could have been confusing for some. I'll simplify it. Thanks!

I found this on IMDB. It's about our dear Cedric.

December 23rd, New York Daily News The Buzz, shorts

As previously reported, the kids of MTV's "Laguna Beach" have quickly propelled there respective careers from non-existant to on fire. One cast member, however, seems to want some focus on himself- and, determined to one- up the similarly attention craving Talan Torriero, whose romance to Kim Stewart was called off as fast as you can say 'PR stunt'- has decided to announce to the world that he doesn't fit the Orange County white hetero alpha male mold of his counterparts. " Yes, I am gay, and I have a very supportive partner who repects me in all of my choices. My friends are aware of my orientation and are cool with it. Its not a big deal for them." Channels tells NYDaily about the gossip swirling that he had been spotted getting close to another young man, Lucaz Sealer, in New York City on a recent trip to hot spot Marquee. Channels goes on to say " I don't associate myself with stereotypes of any kind. Thats all I can say."

So I guess B-side and everyone else was right. Cedric is gay.

So what ever happened to season 3??

And what happened to LC's show? (Can't remember the name...)

Thanks Mizta!
I've often wondered what became of Cedric. Now the trips to the salon with alex make more sense.

B-side, I am really disappointed you didn't pick my home videos of Kristen going in and out of her apartment, and getting into her car and driving to the store and, of course, her bedroom window light going on and off.

I'm really disappointed in myself for never sending in a photo, but for Halloween 8 friends dressed as characters from Laguna. We printed every photo of characters from TVgasm recaps (including but not limited to Casey + quesadilla, plethora of ugly Kristen photos...). took said photos and put them on the back of white tshirts. The front said the characters name & description, ie: "Alex H. (Kristens Friend)", "Kristen","Lauren (L.C.)", etc etc. We loaded up on bronzer, got some huge gaudy sunglasses, and were on our way.

The piece de' resistance is the fully loaded CD's in my back pocket. It was a nice day outside so most to all of the people at the party we went to were outside. I went inside, found the stereo that was pumping music to the backyard, front porch and side of house. I slip in my CD without anyone really noticing and go outside to congregate with my Laguna bitches. Hilary Duff: Come Clean successfully plays 8 times over before anyone got annoyed enough to find the source. Each time, we sang the song at the top of our lungs impersonating each character. Needless to say we weren't welcome there much longer and headed to the bar, where I successfully convinced the DJ to put in my homemade CD with Hilary Duff on. And for some odd reason, the Laguna characters weren't the only ones going bonkers, everyone loved it. It was a spectacular night.

Phew, sorry, long ass post.
