I actually didn't get past the first 5 minutes. But you made it seem so entertaining, B-Side, that I'll try to catch it on one of the oh so many repeats that MTV has planned. That's what's great about all you tvgasmers, tv seems so much better when you recap it. The networks should be paying you the big bucks 'cause you all are probably the only reason some of these shows get seen.

It sucked. I hope it gets better.

That show is slow to get through, no actually Cheyenne was worse, I turned it off after 5 minutes. Anyway, it's kind of boring and really predictable.

Heidi bothers me, and I honestly don't remember her in Laguna Beach. You did make it entertaining even though it was really bland.

Like in Real World Key West, that was a "soft" opening episode, I hope it gets better. *crosses fingers*

this show is way too set up---kinda like the 2nd season of the Anna Nicole Smith show (lol). My friend has interned with Vogue and let me tell you, it is way more hellish than that. And the styling--that would never happen.

By the way. If you watch the aftershow on MTV Overdrive, notice how they complain about their small apartment. I would gladly exchange my tiny NYC apt for theirs.

I thought the show was pretty lame, hopefully Kristin will roll into town and like, totally steal LC's (excuse me, Lauren's) thunder.

On another note- anybody else think Lisa Love resembles the loveable Peisha McPhee?

I'd like to extend a thank you to Heidi for the bald spots I now have from RIPPING OUT MY HAIR and throwing it at the screen during her FIDM admissions interview!!! What a vapid whore! Me hating her this much already = a fantastic season ahead of me.

This show is far too over-produced. LC is on the cover of Teen Vogue right now, I think that was the "fit" they were looking for. Wow, a weekly 30 minute Teen Vogue commercial that will be looped ad nausium on MTV for the bargain price of paying miniumum wage for an incompetent 19 year old intern/celebrity.

LC is nothing without Kristen as a rival. They need to bump up the Jasedric appearance if this show is going to have legs.

We are all breathlessly awaiting your Cheyenne recap...aren't we? er...

I also thought that the show was a tad slow. Hopefully the wrath of Lisa Love will entertain us next week.
LC is so spineless. I can't believe she never told her friends to move. This is how Stephen ran over her for so long. She can't stand up to anyone.

I always thought LC was kinda boring and bland on Laguna, and nothing seems to have changed here. Where is the SCREAMING I would have done at my friend had she showed up at a party uninvited, and caused drama in front of my new boss Lisa Love-to-hate-her? At least Heidi is so dumb, but entertaining. I wanted to scream as well at her interview. What an idiot!

Is this the same duplex apartment from the Ashlee Simpson show? When she started out "on her own"? It looks the same.

Is this the same duplex apartment from the Ashlee Simpson show? When she started out "on her own"? It looks the same.

Does anybody know what the rent is on a duplex like that? So not fair. Also, please tell me that was not a ring that Jason gave her. I am hoping that veil she tried on had to do with Vogue, not her being engaged to Jason.

Is it just me or does the whole show seem set up??? I'm having a hard time believing that LC let her friends in AND let them sit in that section...I have a funny feeling they were probably invited as up-and-coming celebrities. Notice how LC was so comfortable sitting down?? I just can't believe that with the success of Laguna, LC wouldn't be invited to a Teen Vogue party... Not buying it.. Also,I wonder if they're trying to establish characters.. and the FIDM interview with Heidi was set up. There's no way ANYONE would answer questions like that, and be let into the school. She basically mocked them to their face.. JMO...

I agree with the two previous posters that LC is far too weak and boring of a character to carry her own show. They really need to step up the Jason drama, and I hope her "girls" turn out to be more than vapid idiots (I know, unlikely). I did think that her Vogue co-intern had some potential.

I kept thinking that the one girl's bf was Poelster from LB. They really need to transplant 1 or 2 characters from LB...LC can't carry it on her own.

And the 4 girls/SATC idea is atrocious...these girls combined don't even equal Charlotte on a bad day. They really need to throw some guys in the mix ASAP.

It's no Laguna, but I'm hoping once Jason shows up, things will get more interasante. Woo, drama!

With Top Chef done & nothing else to watch I was sucked in, kind of like when you drive by an accident scene & have to look. I too was thoroughly annoyed by the incredible stupidity of the girls on this show (and the few idiot guys that tagged along) until I reminded myself a lot of this stuff is set up. I may watch it again just so I can complain about how dumb these women are, but I have to admit one guilty pleasure-I actually want to see how the whole Jason drama turns out, especially since she says they are serious now. Like, totally.

Don't forget that Heidi is the brilliant mind who came up with "When in doubt, shoe it out." I couldn't believe what a moron she was at her admissions interview! What is so unfortunate and annoying is that she won't understand that you have to work hard for anything because I heard that she actually gets a great job working PR for some big company in LA becuase of the show of course.

wh-wh-wh-Whitney- great Bring It On reference, I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

as for madame lisa's "french" last name, i have some suggestions:

ennuyeuse, maladroit,chaque- a -khan, l.a. bouche

I finally figured out who Heidi reminds me of. Drew Barrymore at her ditzy best....

I'm way late for work, and yet somehow I must post.

While Irene Marie shows the horror of too much plastic surgery, I think Lisa Love's exhibits the tragedy of the 'smoke yourself thin' lifelong diet.

Therefore, I suggest her new last name be 'Tabacceau'

She might also want to go completely waspy, more along the lines of 'Smyth-Smythington'

Off to save the world now.

Lucy Bonaparte.

Napoleon Bonaparte's second cousin once removed.

Apparently I changed her first name too. She can keep Lisa but still needs to love the Love.

Lisa Bonaparte.

Do i remember correctly that Alex H., Kristins trusty sidekick, wasn't in the openening credits of Laguna Beach. I feel that leaves definite potential for more fun people just to be left unmentioned in the beginning.

I thought the show was OK, hope it gets a bit better. I think we'll have a whole bunch of idiotic Heidi-isms before this show is done.
Who the F is Cheyenne and why did they give her a show (which I also turned off after 5 minutes)?
Enjoyed the recap B-Side, thank you.

LC is such a wuss for allowing her stupid roommate and her associated stupid friends to come to the party. Any non-reality-TV-quasi-star intern that pulled that kind of crap would be canned in a hurry. Who knew Teen Vogue would be willing to whore themselves out for MTV publicity?

http://ilovecamping.blogspot.com/2006/06/head-for-hills-lauren-is-made-of.html

I love LC. The show was a little slow, but it should get better next week. Thanks for recaping!

B Side your recap was sooo awesome. You made the show that much better. I'm sure we will have a great summer enjoying the stupidity of Heidi.

Thanks!

Just when you think NO ONE could be more stupid than Jessica...in waltzes Heidi!
How did that Admissions Lady hold her composure...give that woman an Emmy!!! I would have been on the floor laughing at that stupid vapid bitch!!!

The only good thing about this show was the recap. It was so forced and scripted. I hate to say it, but I even miss Stephen's clickings.

Soooo bad it's good.

B-Side, will you marry me? We can stalk Lauren together!

I must admit, I kinda like that she's not trying to be an actress or anything like that. And while I loved Kristin's dramatics, I do not miss her donkey voice. Nor do I miss psycho Jessica.

I live in hope, however, that Roz will cameo! Perhaps to give Heidi sidekick lessons?

Speaking of the ditsy whore (Heidi, not lovely Roz), I dug her fashion school interview, and the "what an idiot" looks by the interviewer-woman. Good stuff.

As for Cheyenne, she reminded me of a younger, female Ashley Parker Angel. At least she didn't freeze the scene and "jump out" to comment.
I too found that show unwatchable (though she is pretty talented).

Ahhh, this show is destined to be my new guilty pleasure. Thank god for Laguna spinoffs.

Oh, and I suggest "Lisa Aufrance" as an alternate moniker for LC's bonetastic new boss.

According to this week's US Magazine - LC is now living with Jason. Ugh.

"chaque-a-khan"

This is awesome.

Lisa "Ne Vous Reposez Pas Sur Les Divans" ... also good.

Heidi = brainless. I was not aware that someone so stupid could actually exist. In fact, I think no one in this known world has ever had a worse interview. Therefore I'm hoping the producers told her to play the stupid one and she's just doing an incredibly thorough job.

By the way, when did LC get so moronic? I never thought she was a rocket scientist, but I assumed she could follow a simple task. "Do not sit. Do not LET anyone sit." Soon after... "Hey guys! Come sit here! I'll sit too!" MORON! Did Jason accidentally stomp on her brain when he stomped on her heart by kissing Jessica at the fashion show last season of LB?

I also caught Lisa Love's "Do you write? Good?" Even my 6th graders know that it's WELL. "Yes Lisa, I write as GOOD as you speak."

That being said... I love the show, am addicted already, and will watch it religiously every week!

I couldn't sit through it. I was bored. Gimme a Kristin show.

But! Cheyenne is really interesting!

tvtvtv - merci..i love me some crazy whitney!

i've always been team LC and well, though the show was lacking, i'll still be a religious viewer. loved the recap! doesn't your suggestion forlisa's name mean something along the lines of good time? so she'd be good time lisa, hahaha, still a porn star. but gawd is she scary, no wonder she's behind the scenes at the mag. yeah, i'm still wondering how the hell LC got the job (mtv) and shocked that she's as wimpy as she is. but i guess i shouldn't be. and O.M.G.!! heidi? drop her as a friend immediately. she's gonna be constant trouble, which makes for great tv!

When I was 19 and studying fashion, I would have KILLED for a chance to intern at a magazine like Teen Vogue. I can't believe LC is screwing up such a cool opportunity. I also would have killed for the chance to go to FIDM, a way better school than the one I went to (I don't work in fashion, now, to give you an idea of how useless it was). If they let Heidi in to FIDM just because she's part of the show, I will pretty much die.
In France, instead of "Beware of Dog" signs, they have "Chien Mechant" or literally, "Dog Mean." So my Lisa Love name is "Lisa Mechant." Or "Beware of Lisa," that works, too.

I finally got to watch the episode last night after work and oh Lord... Lisa Love totally looks like she has been on the '4 cigarette packs a day' diet for years. Her face is just so pleated and wrinkly. I support brilliantmistake's idea (#21) of "Lisa Tabacceau"! Maybe they'll show Lisa coughing like she's got emphysema and we can call her Lisa LaToux or Lisa Poumon.

Now on to the show! LC, WTF. She is such a pushover. "Heidi, I don't want to get in trouble for sneaking you in the party!" 2 minutes later, Heidi asks again and LC sneaks her in. I don't even know what to say about Heidi and that interview. And that Susan person from FIDM, she looked optimistic that Heidi would answer at least ONE of her questions right. WRONG!!

Good recap B-Side! I'm gonna keep watching for sure. Hehe.

"Lisa Tabacceau" -brilliant. cefisher82 #37-"Hey guys! Come sit here! I'll sit too!" made me think of Vinci!

I also vote for briliantmistake's (#21)

LISA TABACCEAU

haven't watched it yet, but if the interview clipgasm is any indication, then this show is sure to kill plenty of brain cells---can't wait

Ok- re-watching this ep on MTV right now. These girls are hand addressing the envelopes to the big hollywood party and using a rolodex for the addresses. What year is this? 1980?

Where's the Outlook database, mail merge and mailing labels?

And licking the envelopes? There's a cheapy little licker thing you can buy for under $1.

Dude, MTV dropped the ball. LC is far too boring/too much of a pushover to have her own show. I'm sure I'll still watch, but watching this chick get trampled over by her "best" friend and then cheated on by her boyfriend week after week is just going to make me miss Kristin even more.

As for Lisa Love's name, how about Lisa Haine, Lisa Hate in French?

I'd have to push for a nom d'ecran with a literalist bent... "Lisa L'Amour" (not to mention it's porn-esque flavor)

Besides the endless potential for vapidity that will no doubt be unleashed in this series, I am also looking forward to seeing the prim, haughty LC unmasked for the spineless masochist that she really is! Stephen was entirely too harmless (and distracted by the lure of Kristen, a girl with an actual backbone) to really ever fulfill her craving for punishing love, but Jason will certainly come closer to fulfilling her fantasies this season! If she had any sense of self at all, she would never have spoken to him again after the way he grabbed her by the wrists after kissing another girl in front of her on the last season of LB. Clearly she has a deep down craving for a little paris hilton/nick carter, paula/keith kind of bruising love, and I can't wait to see it unfold! (Go team Kristen!)

Heidi is annoying and dumb.

Lisa Love's french name should be Blair Brown; and she should do to Lauren what Blair Brown did to her daughter in The Bad Seed - except successfully.

I am going to start slugging back shots every time someone on this show utters the words "like" and "you know?". I'll let everyone know how Betty Ford went when I get back.

I have the most incredible urge to get into a sissyfight with Heidi. That girl is dumber than shit. Each word she speaks makes me cringe.

LC is a godamn pushover. She continues to let people walk all over her, and she proved that when she let Miss I Have the IQ of Lint into the party.

I remember seeing Heidi in Laguna Beach...the last time I saw her was in the Fashion Show walking with Kristen. (She was the one that kissed her.)

Anywho, I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. I'm nowhere near angry enough about life, and watching spoiled little brats have everything given to them will add to my anger quite nicely.

B-Side, that was totally strong. Keep it up. I laughed my ass off. Like anyone could get into the Tropicana Bar uninvited while Amanda was in charge. And having just got back from the Big P, I have my mini-English-French dictionary: and I suggest; Lisa Celibataire (aka "Spinster"). There's some accents in there, but I'm a dunce' and cannot reproduce them.

Apparently I'm the only one, but I really liked this show. I found it just as interesting as Laguna Beach, and I'm sure it'll get better from here. The show isn't so much about LC as it is about vapid, spoiled, bitchy L.A. girls. I, for one, am addicted already.

As far as French names for Lisa Love, here are a few suggestions:
Lisa, la Reine de glace,
or
Lisa "menaces vides",
or even
Lisa "Votre âne est le mien".

Great recap, B-Side!

This week's ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY questions the validity of some of the show's "facts." But clearly it's all the producers' doings. No need to question.

It's on page 62, FYI.
