Someone's gotta be first...

What happens in Whale's Vagina stays in Whale's Vagina.

Anyway I liked this show.

1) There was no rat pack and only one fruit loop.

2) Tessa was a little less boring this show. Of course that's like saying watching grass grow is a little less boring than watching cement dry.

3) Cameron and all his muscles and abs the girls drool over still can't lift that much weight. If I was on the show I'd be doing hernia inducing weight.

This was really the first episode this season that I enjoyed. I can't stand watching the girls be mean to each other. Whatever the distinction was between how Kristen and LC got along, it was never painful to watch.

I thought Nick was annoying because he talked so much.

Wooooooo! More Roz! I like her new hair (which is probably her real hair).

Choppers needs to be up-front w/ Jessica. Not that such an act would stop her from stalking/obsessing, but it'd be the right thing to do.

I used to own a 94 Camry that ran on starlight and dreams. The fuel savings were great but the tail pipe emitted "Dreamweaver" and with time you realize that the money just isn't worth that kind of aggravation.

B-Side--Funniest LB recap yet. I am at work and probably getting funny looks because I am cracking up.

That being said--where's the fresh meat reunion recap? I gotta hear what you think of Cameron's boobs!

PS. the driving at warp speed, and Taco being a health code violation comments were priceless.

B-side, to fill you in on part of the 2 minutes you missed....
The opening scene was Tessa sitting with Rocky at some cafe, discussing their soon-to-come trip to San Diego. Tessa said that she was excited, and she said that there was even a restaurant where the waiters were rude on the customers "like, on purpose" and that it would be fun to go. Apparently people like to get crap from waiters and the place is famous for it.

Im pretty sure the Taco dude was for real. There's a Dick's Last Resort in the touristy area of Dallas and every Halloween they all dress up as Dicks, with balls of course. They always sit down at your table and get all up in your business. it's quaint.

B-side,

I, too noticed that Cameron's dome lights were on. Sidekick Nick (totally made a rhyme) must not have have shut his door.

And I agree Cami and Kyndra are annoying and need to invest in ProActive. Yuck.

Yes, Dick's Last Resort is a horrible place. I went once and was the only one in the group who had no idea that is was a theme restaurant. Not good... I was rude back to the waiter who told me to get my own drink and he threw straws at me. There is one near my office and I routinely see people walking around with big paper condom hats that they make most of the guests wear... just what you always want to see on your lunch break.

A couple of things:
1) Maybe I misinterpreted, but when Nick and Cameron were saying goodbye to Nick's mom, were they at Nick's house? Because they pulled out of a parking lot, which seemed odd if that was the house. I know a lot of the Laguna kids are actually middle(ish) class (Jessica is living in what used to be her beach house until her family lost their real house and that kid Jeff from last year lived in a trailor...there's nothing wrong with that except for the perception MTV gives you that these people are loaded) so who knows what the deal is with this kid.
2)If you notice, Cameron is really smart (okay not really but in this situation). He says "I hooked up with Tessa, I'm not hooking up with Tessa". Technically he never lied and its caught on camera that he said he did hook up with her (even though its midleading).

Did anyone else the "bulk" that Jessica is putting on from all that dining out she does...and really, what else does that girl? Whine, moan, text message and eat out every day?

Seriously, those shots of her walking to and from the Art of Fitness as well as the beach made her look hefty.

Good god, Tessa is boring as f*ck. Why did they ever cast her, and even more perplexing, why did they ever think we would root for her?

I have to admit, though, Rocky is growing on me. And thank god for Roz cameos. I guess I'm a sidekick lover.

I'm not even sure he was a real waiter. He could have just been some poor PA on the production that was forced to pull out some exposition from the kids.

LOL! I totally thought the same thing. Sad attempt to add someTHING to LB...poor gophers.

Dick's in SD is ONLY for the tacky tourist and/or the 13-18 crowd. The food is horrible and overpriced, the place is dirty and the wait staff are all spawned from TACO!

Great recap of one of the best LBs this season. You are right B-Side - the sidekick action was stellar! Maybe next year we can have -- LB-The Sidekick Edition.

So, is Roz now Jessica's sidekick? hard to keep track.

I uttered an audible "oh no" when Messica showed up at the gym.
Random appearance?

That girls needs special stalking background music - something from Sorority Girls From Hell maybe?
"Irma, Irma, Irma....stupid ugly Irma"

Am I the only one to find it weird that all of these kids were down in SD for a night without any parents? Or is that just how it works these days?

Every week I ask the same question: What is so freaking great about Cameron? He's not that cute, he's not that nice, and you can tell from 10 miles away when he's feeding a girl lines. Why do they all fall for it? And Tessa, I'm very disappointed. I expected more from you.

Lisa - I agree.

He reminds me of Brandon Davis - all shiny, all the time.
eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww

Then again, when I think of the guys I got stoked for in high school....makes my mature, wrinkled, saggy skin crawl!

Am I the only one that noticed Jessica's excessive thirst while on the beach towards the end of the show? She had two Pepsi cans and a bottle of water. She looked ridiculous at the gym while "gyming".

Jessica is so blind and clingy she doesn't even realized that Cameron has hooked up with two girls behind her back. Or she realizes it and is just too stupid to care. They say they're not "committed" but it doesn't seem that way to me. I really think that Cameron was one of the awkward semi-geeky boys in middle school or freshman year.Then he started working out and lost his glasses/acne and "Oh My God, he's so hot!". So I think he's just trying to be a player now, because he hasn't had the chance to.

Oh, yeah, in my opinion, "Taco" was definitely hamming it up for the cameras. Just a little too quirky for it to have been natural.

I too missed the beginning of the episode, so sadly I did not see Jessica "gyming."

It's always mysterious red plastic cups, have you noticed?

Could Taco have been any more annoying? I can't believe the kids revealed anything to him--I especially would never tell some random waiter if I had a crush on a guy. But I'm proud that you noticed all of the straws in their drinks, B-Side. And I loved the psychological thriller screencap--dead on!

Cameron is decent looking, and less vapid than the rest of them, but all of the hype is unwarranted. Although part of me is secretly glad he's playing Jessica as well as he is... Maybe, when she finds out, THAT will teach her some sort of lesson.

the sad part is that, it seems Cameron really likes Jessica, but his friends keep making fun of him, and well in high school peer pressure is everything. It also doesn't help, that Jessica is a chronic whiner, she is the kind of girl, that allows her past relationship to ruin all future relationships.

Tessa's too good for Cameron. I'm disappointed in her.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when the people on the show use "hooked up" as euphemism for sex? I understand MTV would probably catch flack for featuring 16 - 18 doin' it, but "Yeah, we hooked up" every episode is annoying.

I see Chops in corporate sales. Or doing to law school and working at a big firm. I can totally picture him in dockers and an oxford.
I also continue to be amazed that parents let their high school kids spend a night out of town w/ no adults. & if my mom, back in the 80s, saw footage of me on a bed w/ a boy, making out---heads would have rolled.
& how many young people stay at the Hilton by themselves? In college, the HOliday Inn was the best we could do. I'm really starting to think that these LB kids must have been complete saints in a past life, and have some great kharma going on now.

That Jeff guy didn't really live in a trailor. I'm embarassed to say that I saw the house tour he gave on overdive. It was just a normal sized house, but definitely not a trailer. He lived in the garage, so maybe that's what you mean, but I think its because he wanted his own, large space.

I think "lucy love" sounds familiar because of "lisa love" from The Hills...

Lucy Love.. hmm I'm guessing Macy's.. I don't know. That Last Resort place looked plain wierd and nasty! Why do you all hate Tessa? At least she is nice.. just kinda bland.

Brandon Davis is a disgrace to all men.

Oh, and I could've sworn I saw Lisa Love's name under Costume Design for "Dawson's Creek" or something. We all gotta start somewhere. Who knew she would someday be THE Lisa LOVE?!

B-Side, if you turn the psycho killer picture of Cameron and Tessa upright, add some primary colorblocking and a few squiggles, you get a cool Picasso face!

Also, Rocky was kind of looking like Drew Barrymore in the straw picture.

"Hooking up" - does this always really mean having sex? Sometimes they throw it around so casually that I wonder if it just means hanging out with a little messing around thrown in? Are the kids really so brazen with their conquests these days? Am I just an old prude?

Please, people..."hooking up" covers pretty much any horizontal activity. Totally ambiguous. That's the beauty of it.

And while Cameron isn't cute at all, we all know that doesn't really matter in high school. Especially in SoCal where the being good boyfriend material is just about: "doing your thing, you know. Doing polo, cruising around, partying!"

2 OLD 4 THIS

That comment was just a hilarious as B-Side's recap. I couldn't put my finger on it at first but he IS all shiny all the time.

And that part about it making your "mature, wrinkled, saggy crawl" was genius!!!

I guess I'm too excited. The quote was "mature, wrinkled, saggy sking crawl". Just loved it!

This episode was so boring! Maybe because it was all centered around Tessa.

I agree with whoever said Nick talks too much.

And I am pretty sure "hooking up" doesn't have to mean sex, it can be anything from kissing to sex

"Can you check under your door, Cameron? I think I parked on a hobo." and "..a car that ran on starlight and dreams" made me laugh out loud. Too funny B-Side.

Jessica's more likely to get a man who drives a car that runs on farts and dreams of earning his GED. She makes me want to gouge my own eyes out with rusty paper clips. Umm...did I say that out loud?

I know I'm going to catch heck from some of you who think he's gay, but I think Chase is a cutie, and he seems much nicer than big, dumb jock Cameron.

Another boring episode...

What's up with Cameron's socks when he has shorts on?

Nobody wears white tube socks anymore, he looks like he's 8 years old.

This might be the most boring group of reality tv people I've ever seen. At least the previous casts all seemed to know each other pretty well, most of this cast has a good friend or two, but just know the rest of them by first name. Thus creating no conversation and no excitement.

I swear Chase is high whenever he's on camera.

Why exactly did the guys go to SD? I missed the beginning. I wouldn't have been allowed to drive hours away to a large city and stay in a hotel with friends while in high school, that's for sure. On earlier seasons when they went to Mexico without parents for Spring Break, I kept thinking "no way."

I'm not sure if they parents would let these kids go to SD or some other city alone, but we gotta remember that they're being followed 24/7 with a 3 person camera crew. They're safe as kittens.

As much as I was glad that Kydra and Cami were nowhere to be seen - I was secretly missing them immensely.

"What had she not done in a year? Go to the San Diego zoo? Lego Land? Sea World? The Museum of Man in Balboa Park???"

B-Side stop making me embarrass myself at work! I laughed so hard, I got the hairy eyeball from the other cubefarmer across the isle.

I'm ashamed (not really) to say that I have visited all of the above - just not in the last year. Maybe I need a road trip to SD as well. Is the place that sells 5 rolled tacos for 3 bucks still there???

That place is way better than Dick's Last Resort

Latest Two-A-Days recap:

http://ilovecamping.blogspot.com/2006/09/starved-for-something-on-two-days.html

Why is it, that the first person to post NEVER says anything of substance? I say second is the new first.

Mark my words, Cami will be over by the end of this season. You can tell everyone hates her. And Kyndra only likes her b/c SOMEONE has to make that shrew look prettier.

Ha! I agree with you, Ms Fred. It's annoying to always read, "I'm First!" Like, WHO CARES??

back to the show. I was watching with a 16-year-old boy who had never seen it before (really!) He said, and I quote, that Jessica was the cutest girl on the show. And then he said that Breanna looked familiar. Both of those girls are less plastic looking than the majority of this season's LB chicas, so maybe that is why.
(He did say WHOA when he caught a glimpse of Cami's undulating boobage. heh)

anyway, that may also be the reason Cameron prefers Jessica. The other girls, including Tessa, are SO into perfection. Jessica is a dork and she's whiny, but she has a sort of puppy-dog appeal that the others lack. Cameron is too immature to go against peer pressure and also to even make a commitment to any girl.

Maybe Tessa was chosen to model because she is into fashion design. She certainly didn't have the attitude that most models have as they strut the stage.

Stefunny--

CASEY's boobs.

I love how, in true sidekick form, Roz adjusts her look to match that of her Master's. This way, all of Jessica's accessories -- her sunglasses, phone, sidekick (human and non) -- match Jessica.


Nick should be taking notes.

"At what point did this hookup turn into a psychological thriller?"

I LMAO when I read that hahaha he does look kind of psychotic. I really don't get what these girls see in Fathead I don't think he's cute at all. Great recap,haven't seen the episode yet but I hope to catch it soon. Keep up the good work :)

jessica at the gym totally reminds me of stupid high school girls who whine about things for attention because they think it is cute. it is not cute. also not cute? roz's new do. or should i say don't. i so bady want to hear them cap on kcav and her failed UPN party show and how desperately she is clinging to her 15 minutes.

someone please tell me how cameron became the guy all the chick want to be with on this show? he looks like freakin john heder....you know. the guy who played napoleon dynamite. his teeth are HUGE!!!

kyndra is a trip. seriously this girl must have the lowest self esteem of the bunch. she looks like the love child of the lead singer for digital underground. everytime she is on screen i think of the lyric "my nose is big...big like a pickle." thank you for not putting her in this episode.

poor tessa. she looks like the not cute little sister of the girl on smallville. it must suck to be the ugly little sister. just ask breanna.

and for the love if there is one more "when i was sick" refernece without an explanation i am going to go batshit crazy!

are trips to catlina included?

"so what's going with you and J-Unit?"

About going away overnight in high school: somehow I managed to talk my parents into letting me go to South Padre all four years of high school unsupervised.

I marvel at that for so many reasons. Mainly because my parents were on the conservative, strict side. And when I look at these kids they seem so young. Even I wonder what these parents are thinking when I see the unsupervised travel but then I remember that I was doing it too. It's a miracle any of us survive adolescence/teenage years.

Heeeey Everyone! First off, I just wanted to say I am a first-timer to this site. And I am sooo happy that I found it cuz I haven't had a good laugh like this in a quite a bit. Just wanted to tell B-Side that this episode review was HILARIOUS!!! I especially luved ur "what happens" commentary. It's one of my new fave quotes! hahaha
And so glad to have other ppl share in my addiction of what we like to call "Laguna Beach" Can't wait till next time! :-)

B-Side... I'm so glad that I wasn't the only person to notice how fast Cam was driving. Definitely warp speed.

And, I officially nominate Jessica as most likely to become a fat housewife.
She's got a bad bob haircut that went out in 1985, she slouches because of her giant boobs, her fashion sense is a little more homely than her fellow LBers and it seems like all the girl wants is to have a boyfriend, get married and pop out kids. Does she go to school? Work? Have any life other than typing away on her sidekick, whining and eating? I think not. A perfect candidate for housefrau.

I saw this episode and I can't believe that Raquel is only 16 years old I mean she seems to be pretty mature for her age and is definitely more mature than the rest of the bunch. Also I think Chase looked kinda jealous when he was asking Tessa about Cameron even though I kinda think he's gay :P That would suck cause I think he's the cutest of the bunch...well him and Kelan cause god I hate Fathead.

Fuuny Re-cap and comments as always!!! Really, they are the ONLY REASON why I watch this show! MTV should be thanking TVgasm!

Anyway, where to begin??

1. Not that I really care, but how did the kids get hotel rooms? Don't you have to be 18 to check in?

2. Mysterious red solo cups...what mysterious booze do you think they hold? I am guessing something "daring" like Hypnotiq or Vodka/Sunny Delight.

3. Jessica at the gym...what a joke. Makes me mad that dumb-asses like THAT can't figure out how dumb-bells work, yet she still looks like she weighs less than I do!! And I am athletic! NOT FAIR :)

4. Doesn't anyone else think it was RANDOM AS HELL that Cameron all of a sudden decided to drive allll the way to S.D. to see Tessa's "modeling gig" when he really hasn't even spoken to her at all this season?

5. Cameron's new sidekick...definatley annoying. Yet something makes me think he and Chase might 'get along'

6. TACO!!!! Where do I even begin. How LAME that he is sooo enthralled with a 16 year old's love life. I mean, to the point that he will SIT DOWN and have a one-to-one conversation with her. Sad thing is Tessa admitted everything to him, like he was her "Fairy Taco-Father" who could grant her a wish...
