Recap: Laguna Beach: Like OMG! Prom-ises Promises! - 
by B-Side
Well, just because he lost his date didn't mean Derek couldn't improvise. At the after-party at his house, Derek soon found himself making eyes at none other than Tessa, possibly admiring her dressmaking handiwork. "Your silhouette is so hot," he said. Okay, no he didn't say that. Instead, the two began making out, and then one thing led to another, and they headed downstairs into what we could only imagine was Derek's den of seduction. Let the consummation of blandness begin!
Meanwhile, outside, Rocky and Alex were having another "talk," and this time, I'm sure they were both feeling somewhat disoriented, what with the lack of a beach anywhere nearby. Raquel said that Alex had a wall up (ahem, it's called marijuana), and as they tried to sort things out (which they did rather peacefully), Nick W. hyped up the tiff in the party, saying, "Raquel and Alex are starting World War III outside!" Wow. I never knew World War III would be so touchy-feely.
Ever nosy (and breasty), Cami decided to head outside with Kyndra in tow so that they could better observe the drama. At one point, Cami even interrupted the two to say whatever, but Cameron called her away, saying, "Cami, this is their drama! Why don't you beat it?" Ouch! DENIED!
But that was okay. Cami pretty much missed the bulk of this pseudo-fight. Somehow or another, the two lovebirds reconciled and wound up kissing, proving that everything was wonderful and lovely once again. Tra-la-la!
What did you think about this episode? Should Rocky have taken Alex back? And who was in the wrong with their "argument"?

OK, register me now as a Stage 5 Laguna offender. I just got out of the shower, relaoded TVgasm, saw that a Laguna recap was posted... and got butterflies in my stomach. You guys are the only ones I could ever admit that to (good thing this is all pretty anonymous).
And now, I will go read the recap. And then go bury my head in shame.

200? This is THE PROM!
EVERYBODY has something to say about the prom.

I don't know about you guys, but way back when I was a junior in high school (9 years ago - yikes), it was called "THE prom" and not just "prom." Were we the only ones who added an article to the prom phenomenon?
Did anyone else notice that when Cameron was making his "Prom?" t-shirt for Tara, he was like, "Should I add a bunch of question marks?" and Chase was like, "Dude, that would be sick." What DOESN'T qualify as "sick" with Chase? Is the addition of more question marks seriously THAT exciting?
B-Side, you make each recap better than the last... how do you do it!?

The Lexie summed things up nicely when she observed, "It kind of sucks when your date likes you because then you feel just kind of awkward." As opposed to the total lack of awkwardness when your date doesn't like you.
Exactly what I was thinking
I didn't quite get the argument between Rocky and Alex either. The stoner angle does have some merit. I was wondering what Rocky was so pissy about, I even considered it was all an act for the cameras/ air time, but that would be the sorriest drama ever.

Is it just me or was Rocky wearing the same dress that she wore to the concert a couple episodes ago?
The part with all the girls at the salon confused me. Whatever Breanna said came out kind of muffled and my closed captioning said "basically he did to me what he did to Tessa".
I actually started to like Cami for about two seconds when she interrupted Rocky and Alex's fight. She seemed like she was actually somewhat concerned about Rocky and not just out there for drama like Kyndra.

JHill -- I'm right there with you. We always said "The Prom" -- but I think it's a regional thing whether or not one employs the use of a definite article.

Rocky=sappy and overreacting
Alex=stoned and dreaming of Cheetos
This was the most interesting Tessa has been thus far! I damn near applauded her drunkenness at the after party.
As a former dancer I have to give Tessa and Rocky props; they were both wearing toeshoes and that shit is not easy!

B-Side, it was worth the dozens of times I checked today to see if your re-cap was up yet. Pure genius.
OK, I was defending Lexie before. Now I think she's being a bitch. The reaction to Derek's "ask," her disgust at the thought of even touching him, and her "smell ya later" right after the dance. Tell me again why the guys like her?
The Derek and Tessa after party hook-up - c'mon. "Let the consummation of blandness begin!" indeed!
Can't wait for Part II!!!

Did I miss something? I thought Tessa went to the prom with a friend of Alex's. Where did he go when she decided to get with Derek? How embarrassing for him. As for Rocky and Alex, I remember going back and forth with more than one of my so-called ex's. Sometimes, it takes some work to get it right. I love them. At least their relationship is based on more than a one-night hookup. Cami, maybe there's hope. Kyndra, just go away, far, far away.

Cami gained like a point from me because oddly enough it did look like she gave a shit.
Yes, Rocky's dress is the same one from the concert.
Did anyone notice that Kelan's date was "Miss Mission Veijio" from the concert?
I also got the same quote from Breanna that Derek had done to her what he did to Tessa.
I think Rocky was shook up because Alex had creeped up on half of the girls who were at the Prom. Lexie even said (whether it was in her imagination or not) Alex was creepin at her party. It was a trust issue and she had assumed that to make up for it he would be glued to her side.
It looked like Tessa had the best time out of everyone, how ironic.

I TOTALLY think that Alex got back with Rocky because he missed the cameras. His plan to hook up with other girls on the show didn't work, so he had to go back to his old standby. Lexie and friends did not look happy to see him at the pre-party. And I may be in the minority on this, but I kind of like Tessa and Derek together. Go figure.

Is it just me or was prom like a big deal I mean the guys looked horrible. Tessa was the only one appropriately dressed for the occassion what happened to tuxedo's for guys? I'm from OC we never dressed so casual for prom I guess different city's different standards. What's so important about a BF GF in LB anyway they all share eachothers GF BF anyways why have one. Kyndra and Cami did look like street walkers pretty sad. I wonder what happened to Tyler he managed to weazle into CABO why not prom? Is he told old to go to prom but old enough to hang out with kids at Cabo for shame!

I don't know what Raquel was whinning about all night. That was dumb.
Lets get Tessa drunk more often. She looks like she might be more fun. Did you see her say "Let's go" to Derek. Too Funny.
B-side I was so excited to see your recap today! Can't wait for the next one.

How drunk was Tessa? But I loved it.. finally she was a little more interesting and actually seemed a little more self-confident. Kyndra's drunk face is sooo obvious, I love it as well.
Did anyone else notice that Alex wore the same see-through linen shirt when he a) asked Rocky to prom, b) went to the prom, c) the date they had after the prom. He must love that shirt. Anyone else feel like he was being extra nice for the cameras again?

lagunatuna, I second you...there is serious hope for Cami and Kyndra should go far, far away. I WANT MORE CAMI!!!!
ktdydnt, I second you also...Alex is just a loser looking for an opportunity to be on MTV. He should be banished, Rocky seems way too wise and mature to put up with his nonsense and his freeloading leechness.

wow prom was SO RANDOM!!! Yep that was definitely the same dress that Rocky wore to the concert. Where I'm from (Florida) we just said Prom, so it's a regional thing. I think my favorite part was at the after party when Cameron held up Derek and Lexie's prom picture and made fun of him for Lexie bailing. Lucky for Derek he got Tessa drunk enough to hook up with him again. BTW Cami you are not allowed to be Dr.Phil!! how dare you disobey your master Kyndra! And regarding Alex's attire, in the aftershow interview he claims that it was "too hot" to wear a tie, so there's his excuse for looking like a slob. I think Alex missed the cameras more than he missed Rocky, even though they are still together. But I understand Rocky's wanting to get back together with him, especially since she said she was in love with him. Oh and I think that Breanna was definitely jealous of Lexie going with Derek, did anyone notice who Breanna went with?

I wish I could feel good about the Rocky-Alex reunion but it’s pretty difficult. As a staunch Rocky supporter, I felt her pain when Alex not only dumped her, but immediately starting offering himself up to every girl within earshot. Thank goodness there were no takers, which meant Alex had to go back under the rock from which he climbed out.
Eventually he got lonely and missed the Laguna scene so he called Rocky, the one girl that gave him the time of day. Although rightfully leery, Rocky took him back. Now Alex can resume the Laguna lifestyle to which he became so accustomed and once again participate in all of the Laguna festivities such as proms, bonfires, Open Air Stereo concerts and of course the all important camera-time.
If I truly felt that Alex’s intentions were honorable, I might cut him some slack. But after both the bonfire fiasco and slut-calling incidents, it’s hard to view him as that once “nice guy” that he seemed to be in the beginning.
Rocky is giving him a second chance so let’s hope he doesn’t blow it! But if he messes up again, I pray that she kicks the dirty rat to the curb!

AS been stated in previous posts...
Rocky is in love with Alex-of course she is gonna go back with him.
I guess I can be the "believer" I still think when Alex called her a slut he was truly hurt she was out with someone else/therefore I think he still must like her(or he wouldn't still be with her now-come on that's a long time...
Derek..one phrase "hit it and quit it" Tessa, Breanna, Lexie, Tessa....
I loooved Tessa's dress, she is very creative!! Making that dress herself!!
Im staring to kinda of like Cami-however I wish someone would tell her it is not cute to have her boobs always hanging out like that. Leave something for the imagination! It just looks trashy!!

Rocky wasn't mad for no reason at all. She was mad because Lexie and her friend made comments to Alex or about Alex in front of Rocky about how he tried to hook up with them and she overheard it. When she said "tell me something" she wanted him to admit creeping on Lexie after they broke up

Since we all know MTV and their wacky editing (seriously...nothing made sense in this episode), I think it's entirely possible that OPEN AIR STEREO's concert was AFTER the prom and Raquel wore the same outfit there. I mean...does anyone know why Raquel was even so upset at that concert. I doubt it's because Alex called her a slut.
Also...did anyone notice Bernice (aka Rachel) cleaning up her nose in the limo. Watch the MTV episode again. Knowing that little Nikki was in the car, you never know.

Are you kidding?? You actually think Cami CARED about Rocky & Alex? I think she was just being her usualy nosy, buttinski self. The others kept calling her Oprah, remember?
I like Cami better on the aftershow interviews than I do on LB. And seriously, her boobage gets more airtime than most of the cast.
Some of the girls' dresses looked more like lingerie, but they all looked nice. Did you see Nikki's ensemble? She kinda looked like a 1950's bridesmaid in a timewarp.
I guess it's no surprise that Alex & Rocky are back together. Once he realized that he wasn't the stud he imagined himself to be, he realized what a jerk-awff he really was and wanted her back.
heheh. Thanks for another great recap, B-side!

November 9, 2006 6:59 PM(#28 of 74)
Once again, B-side, you ROCK! How you keep making them funnier each post is beyond me!
I TOTALLY think Alex is using Rocky for camera time. He practically asked the camera for another chancean and not Rocky.
Clearly he was he blazed when he got there, but I thought his behavior to be oddly suspicious after the "bathroom break" read: he went skiing in the stall LOL...
anyone else think so?
Maybe Rocky is the only normal/sane one in the bunch and she doesn't do coke, hence the nastiness after he returned... I'd be pretty pissed if my bf just went to do lines before my prom! It was the same look that LC gave to J-ball at his birthday party when he kept going to *ahem* powder his nose... any thoughts?
Oh, and Rocky, if you truly do read these: GET RID OF THE SCUM! He is SO replaceable! (I wish I knew how to bold, underline and italix, because all of the above would have been used in that sentence).
cant wait to read the next one!!

oh, and about Rocky's dress. In the aftershow interview she said she didn't have time to go shopping so she wore the same dress because she really liked it and would probably have worn it to prom regardless.
Personally, I think it IS a pretty dress and it's kinda nice to know that not everybody in Laguna shops till they drops.

Oh gawd I just HAD to get it off my chest after this ep of Laguna. I;'m sorry but Alex is still a douche it's totally obvious that he broke up with Rocky becaue he thought he was hot stuff and could hook-up with any girl when in actuality all the other girls think he's creepy, so he just got Rocky back so he'd have someone to make out with. Shame Rocky couldn't see it she was so lame. And Tessa Argh Derek is like the ugliest mofo no wonder the only classy girl Lexie wouldn't hook up with him.....jees.

Man.. that Lexie is hott when she gets all made up... other times she looks like a 13 year old.. and i get creeped out that I could ever find her hott..
Anywayz... Alex is definately a phony.. but at least he is speaking now and acting relatively normal..
What I found annoyiing was the Raquel/Alex/Lexie thing they were tryin to stir up in the pre prom party... the way they kept cutting the film it made it seem like their was some wierd love triangle there... when there clearly wasnt...
On a similar note... what the hell was Rocky flippn about... Alex seemed to be behaving very normal...

JersyGirl:
I was surprised that I also liked Cami for a mili-second when she inturrupted ALex and Rocky. I also found her reaction to her prom date buried under that gift box sincerely cute. I can't belive my fingers just typed that!
I threw a cup at my TV when Alex was talking. I can't believe that Rocky didn't see through that bullshit. He cleary tried DESPERATELY to hook up with the other girls right in front of her and he gave no explaination for it when he talked with her. Ass!!!
I thought the girls looked okay at prom but Breanna always looks the same. Her face is as big as Cameron's but that hair is far worse. It reminds me of those girls with really coarse, cury hair who sit there for hours trying to straighten out with an iron. Then it doesn't even move.
I LOVED Tessa drunk!!! Yay booze! She was flirty and she totally seduced Derek. Little minx;) She looked hot!
I think the ALex and Rocky argument was really unnecessary. I like Rock and I despise ALex but she was overreacting. She could have used a contact high......at the very least!
Nice recap as always, my lord B-Side.

Why did The Lexie go to the prom with Derrick? It seemed like she didn't even want to be around him. Oh well, I guess Prince Harry was busy that weekend!
I thought Raquel was acting kind of difficult, I always think it's a waste of time for people to go out, in any social setting, and fight. Stay home, or wait and work it out in private!
When Raquel was looking for Alex outside, after the dance, was it Tessa she was talking too? I thought it was weird that Tessa basically blew her off - she didn't even stop walking she just blew right by.
Kyndra is such a nasty bitch. Why does any one even listen to her? She doesn't even go to school with these people - who the hell does she think is? Since she's not going to classes, her parents should really enroll her in charm school. I'd be really interested in WHY she's home-schooled.

I get the feeling that Cami dresses the way she does so that her "girls" can be featured on the show. They know about that camera in the car and yet she always manages to learn forward and squeeze together a nice cleavage shot for all the MTV viewers.
I guess a girl has to be proud of something. I just wish she'd find something else to show off.

November 10, 2006 5:05 AM(#42 of 74)
I may be totally off with this...it's just that Alex has changed so dramatically, not only in the fact that he has apparently learned a few words to add to his grunts, but his looks are not what they once were. He was hot at one pt...extremely hot. He's still good looking but now he's bloated. Coke bloat anyone?
Also, MTV never really explained why Rocky was crying at the OAS concert..I know they had the whole "slut" exchange plot, but that just doesn't fly because you can tell Alex isn't saying any of that at that precise moment (and if he is, there's no way Rocky heard him). Is it possible she saw him doing lines at the table he was sitting at with his friend? Just a question.

How about a little effort Jug Head? He hollers for Tara from the driveway. WTF is that? Possibly his knuckles are too sore from draggin' on the ground to use the doorbell.
And Cami needs to buy a Minimizer.

Is it just me or is Alex starting to look like J-Wahl and have his tendancies. Also was it me or Rocky said that Alex went away? Oh well.

I agree Cameron's Prom "ask" was lame (although the dog was cuter than he is), but I always hated Talan's "hiding in the garage" ask for Kristin last year. He looked like a stupid vampire or an undertaker-in-training.

You know, I like Lexie. She's smart enough to keep her distance from every guy on this show.
Dating any of the male cast members is a mistake. They seem to jump from female to female to female. There is nothing wrong with distancing yourself from various teenage boys with too much money and too much arrogance.
Rocky was annoying this episode. I am not saying I like Alex, he's as worthless as the rest of the male cast members, but she willingly took him back. It was childish and petty to act in such a manner on the evening of your prom. You have no one else to blame but yourself when you take back a loser like Alex.
Finally, Rocky needs to buy a new dress. I don't think that dress flatters her figure AT ALL.

I didn't catch that Tessa made her dress, that is awesome. I thought it was a really pretty dress and fit her really well, so, good job! Although I definately did not expect the Derek hook up, uh oh!

The kids in the season seemed boring with all the getting asked to the winter formal or the prom. I remember the last 2 seasons, they were all happy and excited planning the surprises and when they saw the special way they were asked. But season 3 they're just like whatever, like how Cameron asked Tara. She didn't even seem like she cared at all. These kids are too stuck up, anything nice they get they're just like "yawn"
But they way that Alex asked Rocky seemed so cute. He looked really sincere. And I started to like him again. But after reading everyone's comments.......i'm not so sure. Poor Rocky, I hope he treats her right this time.

i really enjoyed this episode for some reason...but some things bugged me. I would not be on tv with the same prom dress that i wore to a concert...and some of the girls dresses! jeez i dunno if it's a cali thing (or laguna) but i'm from Jersey and no one is caught dead at prom in some little party cocktail looking dress...no one even wears a dress that goes above their knees! but i absolutely loved Tessa's dress she looked really good! they should have slipped her some booze the whole way through. and thank you B-Side for pointing out the way these girls get asked to prom...it seems like these guys HAVE TO go out their way and put something big together for them to go and maybe i'm a little bit of a hater or i'm just jealous! i really can't tell much about Alex yet but he did seem really happy to see Rocky when they met up for their "talk" She could have played it a lot cooler on the night of prom...i thought she was stronger than that...oh well!

I'm so surprised about the amount of people bashing Raquel for her behavior. I'm convinced, based on what they showed, that she had reason to be upset. I mean, I know they didn't put it all out there, but with his "bathroom break" and disappearing act at the prom, I'm thinking Jason all over again.
I do agree with the comments on the attire at prom. It just AMAZES me when I watch these shows how poorly these people dress. I mean, I WAS poor growing up and I had a really nice, FORMAL prom dress.
And what's up w/all the "fancy" prom date requests - the girls did the same thing for Winter Formal. Weird! I hope this is just for TV and people aren't now forced to do this every year for every dance. Lame. They put more effort into the asking than they do their attire.
Anyway, great re-cap, though, B-side!!!

I, too, questioned Alex's reasons for getting back with Rocky. And he looked kinda scary with his over emphasised display of happiness when she turned up at the beach... and a little bit too when he was telling her he really liked her at the end of their fight at the after party. But, they're still together now, so obviously all has worked out for them.
Did anyone else notice when Lexie was taking the picture of Alex and Rocky at the pre-party that she pushed Bernice into the photo with them? Why do that? Maybe that's what started Rocky's insecurities on the night.
Also, can someone please explain to me what a Prom Court is?

Anyone notice how excited Alex was to be on camera in the limo? I felt like he kept trying to get face time. And I LOVE Cami. Please let her and her boobs be the narrators next season.

Here's a thought... Since Rocky wore the same dress to both the concert and prom, who thinks that maybe the scene of her crying in the parking lot of the concert was actually taken on Prom night, when she was looking for and fighting with Alex?? THat would explain why no one could figure out why Rocky was so upset at the concert, since it's already been established that she really couldn't have been able to hear Alex's "slut" comment. I don't have Tivo, but somebody should look and see if her hair in that scene looks the same way it did on Prom night.
Kaliana- Prom court is the group of guys and girls that have been nominated for king and queen b/f prom, then they find out at prom who wins from the court.

livemusicjunkie, I hear about creative "Prom Asking" by kids all over the country. I think its a pretty standard tradition, with girls definitely expecting it. However, elaborate gestures are less appreciated than sweet and sincere ones (unless you don't like the guy, LEXIE).

mo_knows, you're a genius! The more I think about it the more that theory makes sense.

joeypotter/#60 - well, I've never heard of it or seen it and I'm not THAT old. Watever, I just think it's a little "over the top". Like I said before, it seems they put more effort into the "asking" than the do for the "preparing".
Oh - and on another note about Rocky and Alex, she has pictures on her site from this past Halloween which include Alex, so I'm wondering if she saw the episode where he called her a slut. I read somewhere where they called him her "on/off boyfriend", but I would think it would OFF once he called her that. (she's my fav of the season and she seems the most level-headed, so I just hate to see her wrapped up in someone like that)

Waitaminute.
Did someone already mention this, but why did Alex had to ask Rocky to HER prom? Maybe it's me, but Alex should've been asking Rocky HIS prom. he's a camera hog. If Rocky had asked him, he wouldn't have gotten his chance to set up his dreamcatcher, or whatever it was he set up on the beach.
Tessa's dress was great, I've like most of her outfits this season.
The Lexie did look great, she wins best make-up.
And Cami's hair actually looked like it had been blow dried AND pressed as it always should be if she's going to wear it straight.

ummm ok so the only seniors are chase and nick s right? so why are all these juniors going to prom? am i missing something? junior/senior prom?
i feel tessa is a bitch in real life, i'd love to know the REAL reason her and kyndra aren't friends(yes i know she was sick and thats when it ended bc kyndra wasn't there for her) but considering laguna is a bunch of LIES from editing i'm curious to know the truth of what tessa may have done....

Good point samxx7 about the asking of Tessa, I bet dude couldn't be bothered. He was another underdressed guy.
However, you can go to MTV's overdrive and watch Cami and Kyndra being asked why Kyndra's not friends with Tessa anymore and as big of a bitch that she can be she says they grew apart, that's it. Cami says the same thing adding that they hadn't been friends for a while and that Tessa's lying for attention. And we know that these are not the girls to hold back.
You do know girls sometimes don't like other girls just for being pretty, so they'll rationalize it, so as not to look at themselves - just a thought.

Alex may be a senior, but he's still just a high school kid, which makes him about 10 in boy years. So of course he's gonna be a jerk from time to time. That's what high school boys ARE!
I can't believe anybody is criticizing Rocky for cooking and baking. What, would you rather see her rolling dubes? And why is it a bad thing that she wears a dress more than once? I applaud that much more than I do spending a ton of money on a dress you only wear once.
Also, she is NOT getting fat! Geez, this is why girls develop eating disorders.
On the other hand, I think the boys sticking up hairdos are really stupid. They look like Gerber babies gone wrong.

OMG, it looks like we have another laguna relic to rescue before Rocky's mom burns it. Lagunaconsultant, your mission, should you choose to take it, is to save the concert/prom dress from the fire. Imagine that, the blueberry suit was alleged to have only been worn twice, and now arrives the twice worn concert/prom dress debacle. Make haste, Lagunaconsultant, before your master, B-side, beats you to the punch.
Didn't dear Cami enlighten us about Rocky's outfit choices at the beginning of the show? It's looking as if we may have to re-examine her veracity. Speaking of Cami, does anyone know where I can purchase the music video? lol.
I was under the mis-guided impression that it was the wedding dress that could only be worn once. Oh, well.

I just watched the second most embarrassing show I love (to hate), Grey's Anatomy. As B-Side noted, the title of this episode of LB was very Grey-ish, while some of Meredith's lines this week were very LB-ish. She uttered this stunner twice (speaking to McSchwarmy, aka Sloan), presumably because it was such witty dialogue (?): "Derick and I, . . . let's just say there's a lot of water under the thing or something."
Meredith! Aren't you supposed to be a doctor?! Get your idiomatic expressions down before you use them! Maybe they've hired the kids from Laguna to youthenize Meredith-speak so she comes off as a little younger.

i just re-watched the prom episode for a third time (im a loser, i know) and i think that tessa blowing off rocky was a clever mtv editing trick. we didnt see either one of their mouths move when we saw those captions, i think that was a post production add in, as mtv is so well known for. and rachel is lookin just as "berniece-y" as she always was with her spray tan, and fried hair, i dunno what b-side or anybody else is talking about.

Which post will reach 100 comments first? This one or the other Laguna recap?
Better yet, which one will reach 200 first?

Another HILARIOUS recap, B-side! U never let me down!
And the "FOIE GRAS!!!!" comments still crack me up! I don't think I will ever get tired of it! Lexie's face was classic! Derek is kindof a jerk to me...but I guess that is what attracts girls to him!!!
