Like OMG! Did you even SEE Laguna Beach last night? Alex was like “Slut!” and Jessica was like “Fine!” and Kristin was like “Oh my god” and Talan was like “Whoa” and Roz was like “Wait, what?” and Emily was like “Stop!” and Taylor was like “Alex!” and Jason was like “Huh?” OMG. So great.
Actually, what’s really sad is that that description pretty much sums up the entire episode. You know, we don’t look for much depth when it comes to Laguna Beach. In fact, we don’t look for much of anything beyond honey-dipped cinematography and mumbling conversations. So imagine my delight (and I imagine three million teenage girls’ too) when LB crossed over into Real World territory and provided us with an honest-to-god catfight. In Mexico! Viva La Guna!The episode started on an encouraging note. In the “Previously on Laguna Beach,” Kristin announced, “We were all SOO over Jessica’s issues.” Hallelujah! Now we’re talkin! The once-annoying now-cool narrator then went on to say that everyone was heading down to Cabo San Lucas for Spring Break, and all Kristin wanted to do was stay away from Jessica and hang out with Talan. Oh, and did we mention Alex M. would be along for the ride too? Yup, tonight would be drama central, and I couldn’t be happier.
We then moved into Kristin’s house where she packed up while Roz dependably sat on the bed, looking bored. “Okay, so you know how last year was ‘Whatever happens in Cabo, stays in Cabo?’” Roz asked, continuing, “That doesn’t ever really like work.” Yeah, especially when MTV’s documenting your every move for the entire nation to enjoy. Kristin had a different response:
“Especially when your whole f*cking school goes to the same place for Spring Break.” Or… like I just said, IT’S ON TV. Funny, when I was in high school, the biggest place to go for Spring Break was, um, the local diner. But anyway, Roz had more to say: “I want to hang out with Alex and Taylor.” She LOVES the peace!
Kristin then asked the question on everyone’s minds: “Who do you think you’re gonna hook up with?” Um, hello?? This is Roz we’re talking about. I believe her heart belongs to one man and one man only: Dr. Frasier Crane, of course! Duh. Will Kristin ever learn?
After the opening credits, we then ventured to Jason’s house which was surprisingly modest. It even had a white, picket fence. Shut up, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Anyway, inside this model for domestic bliss we found Jason packing up his belongings. But wait! He wasn’t going to Cabo. He was headed to Costa Rica with his family. Wait! So you mean a parent actually denied a teenager the right to bask in unmonitored hedonism and bacchanalia in another country? This makes no sense! Parents aren’t supposed to exercise any sort of parental control over their kids in The ‘Guna! Boo Jason’s parents!
Perhaps the only person sadder than Jason was Cedric who would be down in Mexico sans Master. Luckily, he did have these few precious moments with his Jason as he watched him pack up in his bedroom. Apparently this is a mandatory event in Laguna. Sidekicks MUST watch their masters pack. Luckily, the scene was relatively short, but we did learn that Jason and Alex are “gonna chill.” We could practically feel the joy quietly pulsating through Cedric. No one comes between Jasedric. No one. (Or is it Cedrison?)
And finishing off the luggage montage were Alex M. and Taylor, who packed together — their joint sidekick Morgan S. was shockingly nowhere to be found. Must have been caught in Laguna traffic. The two bitched about Jessica, who, you might remember, hooked up with Jason last week. “It’s like a code,” said Taylor. “You just don’t hook up with your friend’s…” “Boyfriend!” finished Alex M. To be fair, the full, unabridged code is “You don’t hook up with the boyfriend of your friend who stole that boyfriend away from you when he was in fact still your boyfriend.”
Anyway, the gals all headed off to Cabo, and first to arrive were the royal couple, Kristin and Roz who quickly marveled at the Cabo resort. “Will you look at this paradise that we’re in right now?” asked Roz. Actually, all we could see was a big pile of luggage. Hey, maybe that’s paradise to Roz. Her heart probably goes pitter-patter every time she spots a Samsonite catalog.
Next to show up in Cabo were Jessica and her quasi-sidekick Emily — a plain girl who just wanted to enjoy her trip to Mexico. “This is a Jason-free trip!” chirped Jessica. Okay, well, then STOP MENTIONING HIM.
Meanwhile, over on the beach, the kiddos were having all sorts of fun. Roz and Kristin enjoyed some tasty tropical beverages while Cedric and Jeff — a.k.a. Darth Carrot Top — checked out the waves. Also in tow was Sam, who was described as “Kristin’s crush.” And if you were excited to see this romance develop, well, then you’ll have to wait because that was the last we saw of Sam this episode. As for Jessica, well, she had changed into a booby-licious bikini and was chillin’ poolside instead. Heh. Poolside is for loosers. Clearly it’s all about the beach.
Well, the party really started once Alex M. showed up with her posse of Taylor and Morgan S. The embittered girl walked out to the pool and said hi to everyone but Jessica and her boobs. WELL. This was no good! Feeling the need to complain some more, Jessica pulled Emily away from the pool and to the local nail salon where they could gab some more. I have to admit, I felt really, really badly for Emily. No, not because she was stuck with the whiney, nutso Jessica. But because this girl finally was getting some decent time on camera, and, well, she had some bad acne going on. You know that she spent last night hiding under a pillow. Memo to Emily: it’s okay. We like you. We understand the plight of bad skin. You’re welcome here at TVgasm.
Of course, this show wasn’t about Emily and her dermatological woes. It was about Jessica‘s instead. “Look at my neck. I look like I have a birthmark,” she said as she examined her hickey. Meanwhile, poor Emily was probably trying to put a ski-mask over her facial blemishes, and Jessica’s complaining about this shit? I mean, c’mon. What’s especially sad is that despite Jessica’s complaining, she undoubtedly loved her hickey, which, by the way, was HUGE. This stupid bitch. How could she lie to Kristin last week and say she didn’t hook up with Jason and then walk around Cabo with a welt the size of a football on her neck? Furthermore, how can I actually care so much about this? I’m very sad for myself. Very sad indeed.
Nevertheless, Jessica then tried to play down the Jason hookup. “It’s not like it meant anything,” she remarked, adding, “Just because I’ve been talking about it nonstop for the past week and it’s all I think about and it’s all I ever want from life and if Jason doesn’t speak to me in the next five minutes, I might throw myself into the ocean and martyr myself in the name of love, that doesn’t mean it meant anything. You’re so stupid, Emily. That is your name, right?”
Later, we were treated to that most wonderful of things: the Cabo montage! Yay! Girls playing in the pool! Girls going down slides! Girls not hanging out with Jessica! And yes, in case you couldn’t tell, the pool was the new beach. Beach was sooo five minutes ago. Anyway, that night, we witnessed the odd sight of all the Laguna girls waltzing down the beach — and, is that… an ethnic girl? Right there in the background! Why yes, it is! It’s Cammie! Wow. I hope you all saw her because she was gone in about half a second. And rightfully so! Laguna Beach is for white people only! Geeez…
Well, the reason why everyone was walking along the beach all dressed up was because everyone was enjoying a big group dinner. At a random, perfectly sized table. On the beach. No, this wasn’t arranged by the producers at all! Anyway, the kids all gabbed and laughed and got drunk, especially Talan who was all over Kristin. Luckily, wee Morgan S. was there to ruin the moment as she yelled, “Talan!!! Doesn’t Kristin look hot? Because she’s wearing all my clothes! Ha ha ha!” Shut up, you stupid bitch. Keep your inane comments to yourself.
Later, at the club with a bottle full of bub, Talan tried to make his move on Kristin, but it was hard to tell what was going on. Either way, I thought it was remarkably sad that Lindsay Lohan might actually be sloppy seconds to Kristin. (Yeah, Talan and Lindsay dated.)
The next morning, it was Nature Day as Roz and Kristin sat on the beach and observed the waves with great astonishment. Kind of made me think. How awesome would it be if Roz and Kristin hosted a nature show on Discovery? They could go into the wild and have mindless patter. Of course, Roz would ask all the questions (“So, what do you think about that monkey?”) and Kristin would provide all the answers (“Oh my god. I’m like so over it. I don’t know. You know? It’s cute, but like, I mean, whatever. You know?”).
Elsewhere on the beach was Jessica walking alone with her cell phone. And you know what that means. You guessed it: she called Jason. Yeah, this is just pathetic. She not only called him when on the ski slopes, but now she’d dialed his number from MEXICO. But seriously, this was a Jason-free vacation.
Of course, Jason didn’t answer the call, so Jessica was left with nothing to do but leave one of those faux-casual, quietly needy voicemails: “Jason, it’s Jess. I was just calling to see what you’re up to. Just wanted to see how you’re doing; so give me a call back.” She then added, “PLEASE! PLEASE!!! CALL ME!!! I’LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!!!”
Poor Jessica. This really was turning out to be a bummer of a vacation for her. She clearly wasn’t having as good a time as Alex and Taylor who had just gone down the slide for the umpteenth time. Yay gravity! Later, after the thrill of the nine-foot water slide had run its course, Taylor asked Alex if she had been thinking of Jason. The answer, unsurprisingly, was no. “It’s easy not to think of guys when you’re down here having fun,” Alex replied, thus reminding us that she has what I like to call “a healthy, normal outlook on life.”
Well, Jessica wasn’t having fun in Cabo, and thus by Alex-logic, her thoughts were plagued with Jason drama. Here’s the big question: Was she thinking of Jason because she wasn’t having fun? Or was she not having fun because she was thinking of Jason? Or, actually, option C: is she just a total idiot? I choose all-of-the-above, with a heavy emphasis on option C. Yes, sourpuss Jessica couldn’t wait to go home, and as she sat with Cedric and Emily, she complained and complained. You know, because vacation is about Jessica, not anyone else. It didn’t seem to affect Cedric’s time though. “I love this place,” he said, adding, “If only I could share it with Jason. We could walk along the beach at sunset. Cradle each other in our arms. Feel the gentle caress of flesh on flesh. Oh, I’m sorry, did I say that out loud?”
Actually, Ced didn’t say that, but that’s because he hardly could get a word in edgewise. You see, Jessica was now complaining about Alex and how much she wanted to beat her up. Alex beating Jessica up, that is. Not the other way around. As Jess continued to victimize herself, she went on a little tirade, saying, “So it’s like okay, hit me. Then what’s that going to solve? I’ll have a black eye, and then I’ll just be really cute. It can match my hickey. It’ll be really hot.” To which Cedric simply turned to Emily and asked, “What the hell is she talking about?” You know, this Cedric fella ain’t so bad.
That night, everyone went to the club again where Roz got down and dirty with her bad self. Ah, but this scene wasn’t about Roz doing the Peri Gilpin dance. No, shit was about to go down. That’s right. Alex and Jessica were in the same club. Fight! Fight! Fight! Okay, here’s the deal. Everything happened so quickly that I couldn’t even attempt to give you a detailed transcript. Basically, Alex wanted to take Jessica down, but peacemaker Emily pleaded, pleaded for Alex not to do anything because it would ruin her vacation. Poor Emily. Why do I feel so badly for her? Well, Alex tried to heed Emily’s words, but c’mon, since when does a non-opening credits person ever hold sway over anything? Soon, we found Alex and Jessica outside of the club, full on yelling at each other, Real World style. And man, it was great. Alex was going nuts. Jessica was going nuts. Emily was practically crying. Finally, Alex asked, “Are you a slut? Yeah, I think you are.” Oh no she di’int! But wait, it got better. When Jessica asked what she could do to make Alex feel better, Alex said she wanted her to admit she was a slut. And so Jessica said “I’m a slut,” which caused Alex to stare for a few seconds and then break into a sly and condescending smile. “How low are you, dude? You are one low chick,” she said coolly. Ouch. First she makes Jessica say that she’s a slut, and then she busts her for having no backbone. It was evil. And by “evil,” I mean “awesome.”


Well, the next day, it was time to recap the previous night at the breakfast table. Wearing straw hats and oversized sunglasses, the gabby group of Alex M., Taylor, Kristin and Roz (yay inter-clique peace!) relived the whole fight, and I was especially amused by Alex’s impersonation of Jessica. It was so good, she even had to take off her sunglasses to execute it. And as we know, once those sunglasses are on, they NEVER come off.
Meanwhile, holed up in the hotel room was Jessica and her beleaguered Emily as they too babbled about the previous night. Jessica, of course, explained the whole thing in vivid detail, and Emily looked blankly at her, as if to say, “Yeah, I know. I was there, dumbass.” Finally, Jessica wrapped up her diatribe by ironically noting, “No Jason, right?” To which Emily retorted, “There’s never going to be no Jason in your book.” “Why do you say that? …There can be no Jason. Shut up. God. There will be no Jason,” replied Jessica. Yeah, no Jason. Except his name was just mentioned four times in the last five seconds. But seriously, no Jason.
Well, all good things must come to an end, and that even includes Cabo. The girls all returned home to that most ghetto of small towns, Laguna Beach, and of course, the drama continued. Alex drove around with some girl named Courtney whose defining feature was having the voice of a 42-year-old chain smoker. The two talked about the whole Jason thing, and that’s when Courtney just happened to mention that the hirsute boy was at the park shooting hoops with his boys. Well, let’s go visit him, shall we?
Sure enough, Jason and Cedric and some other were playing a fierce game of “Horse” when the girls showed up. Alex asked to speak to her man real quickly, but surely she didn’t realize that this was Game Seven of the West Coast Horse Championships. That’s why Jason insisted on taking just a few more shots before having the big “talk.” Luckily, Alex is not like Jessica, and could read through the lines. Still, she later told Jason “I still have feelings for you.” To which he said. Uh… nothing. Yes, in classic Jason style, he just stared blankly, muttered a few errant syllables and smiled. Unlike Jessica, Alex didn’t whine or complain. She simply said, “You know, you can always call me sometime,” which actually prompted a response from Jason who said, “I’ll call you.”
Jason’s most expressive moment EVER.
And so ended this most eventful of ‘Guna episodes. Looks like Alex and Jessica both lost out. But we all know who the big winner was: Cedric. And the viewers. Good times on Spring Break. Whatever goes on in Cabo… is awesome.
What did you think?

In a way I feel bad for Jessica. It was over between her and Jason, but that’s because of Alex. I think Jason just wanted to get some from Alex and decided he likes Cedric better!
Maybe Alex and Jessica will both move on, but then waht would we discuss about the Laguna Beach drama?
what i don’t understand is why Alex was flipping over the same guy she stole from the same girl who stole him back?? what did she think was gonna happen?? Why not flip out on ‘your man’ instead?? Plus, wasn’t she embarrassed whn back in LB, he was too busy shooting hoops 2 even give her 2 minutes?? Didja catch her say ‘this is so embarrassing’? (YEA, no shit, dingback, this clearly eloquent fool is what you almost broke a nail over!!) As for Jessica, i think we should sent her to a 3rd World country so she can finally stop talking abt some1 but herself.
Why is Alex so mad? She went out to dinner with Jason however many times, even invited him over to her house, like they didn’t do anything, remember Alex is kinky!!, went to winter formal with him and I am sure things we never saw.
She’s just mad because Jessica did to her what she did to Jessica.
Paybacks a bitch.
Not that I like Jessica, but still.
Jessica’s boobs looked great but she could lose a few pounds around the midsection.
Does anyone else agree?
MTV’s editing here is way messed up – not to be overly analytical, but I am guessing winter formal is in December or January. As we all know, Alex asked Jason to the dance BEFORE he and Jessica started dating. It is an unwritten high-school law that you do not ask a boy to a dance more than a month before said dance. As we all saw, Jessica and Jason were pretty much dunzo after the dance. Considering that Jassica lasted for two months all together, and they were dating for Valentine’s day, I am putting the end of their relationship as happening in February. Spring break for the Guna kids is most probably in April or May. This means that Jasalex lasted for at least two months – which seems to be as long as Jason can keep a beard to cover his longing for Cedric – certainly not a beard in general as he has more facial hair than I personally have ever seen before. So, in short, although Alex is terrifying and crazy, I am guessing her relationship with Jason rivaled in lenght our horribly annoying friend Jessicas.
redheads name is jake
great episode, fantastic recap
I was sadly disappointed that no fists were thrown. I was sure that Alex was going to throw a punch, but making Jessica (a.k.a. Jamie Lynn Spears) be so pathetic was really amusing. All these fights over Jason. The all important question is WHY? He NOT hot, funny, charming or intelligent, just a warm body. I can’t belive these girls are throwing themselves at such a loser and a lost cause. Obviously his heart belongs to Cedric. And how lame was Crater faced Emily? If I were her, I would have ditched annoying Jessica the minute she said “Jason” which was like 2 minutes into the trip. She ruined her own spring break, not Alex. I cannot wait until next week when Casey and Alex duke it out! Hopefully Alex will rip out her nappy extensions.
Jessica is super pathetic! I feel sorry for the girl. I want to take her under my wing and show her to act.
But I don’t think i like Alex either. I mean she basically did the same thing to Jessica so what the hell is her problem! I remember her telling Jessica she would never kiss Jason in front of her and then she totally made out with him in front of her at the bonfire!
All of that fighting for nothing. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about either of them.
THey’re both pathetic.
ANd yes the Cammie cameo was great! I was watching one of the earlier episodes of this season the other day and noticed her. SHe’s at Morgan’s house the night Jason and Cedric come over to scare them! She got more face time then! But the producers probably realized then that showing too much ethnicity wasn’t good for the Guna’s reputation. Thus no longer gracing their show with Cammie’s likeness.
dumbasses
Jason=Unfrozen Caveman Teenager
PK – I checked LBHS’s website … this year Winter Formal is on Feb. 4, and spring break is in mid-April. I’m assuming the dates for said occasions were around the same time last year.
I need a life.
I thought this was a great ep, and the recap was hilarious. I loved the “Huh” by Jason at the beginning of the recap! He is hilarious the way he dogs out these girls, but what is a 17 year old boy suppose to do? He wants to get laid and hang out with his buddies, duh. Jessica was terrified of Alex M, which was too bad because I would have loved to see Jessica stand up to that man-stealing whore. Oh well….
B-Side you are awesome! I love your reviews!! You always have me laughing till my side hurts! Keep up the good work!!
I feel bad for jessica because she just seems really insecure about herself and it doesnt help that evryone was against her in this episode. But she does bring it upon herself because all she ever does is whine about it. But i think Alex is a total bitch because she stole jason away from jessica in the first place. what a hypocrite! I just wish that jessica would have stood up for herself. Even though kristin was annoyed with jessica, she could have at least stood up for her friend. I mean what was up with that she acted like they werent even friends anymore. That was pretty harsh. i kind of liked it better when the cliques were not at peace, it was way more interesting.
Did any of you all notice the coughing going on while Jessica and Cedric were hangin out on the balcony? Maybe smokin some of that mexi bud? great recap B. some of your finer work. Maybe you could put together a montage of “oh my gosh, like, whatever, etc…” of this season’s guna. later taters!
B-side…why do you like Alex so much? I mean i totally think Jessica is annoying, but I did feel bad for her. And Alex is the biggest friggin hypocrite on earth – which Kristin finally (albeit meekly) pointed out to Alex.
She was just as pathetic as Jessica – because she looked like a cracked out psycho going off on her. And I mean how come she went off on Jessica, but then came back with that lame schmoopy face with that idiot Jason.
Ugh i really hated Alex after this episode.
I actually thought Jessica’s friend Emily was cool. She was the only person who stood up to that man-whore Alex.
PS: i still looovee your recaps!
I thought the same thing about all the coughing on the balcony. They were definitely smoking some bud.
Once again, the best episode of the season turns out to be the one where they go to Cabo for spring break. God, I love Cabo. It should be crowned the capital city of awesomeness.
Also, yes, Alex is mad at at Jessica for doing exactly what she herself did, this we all know. But come on, it doesn’t matter because Jessica is the worst person on the planet Earth. I hope her parents are stabbed in the season finale. Wait, no scratch that, that would just give Jessica more ammo to be annoying with during next season, “Oh my god, do you remember last year when my parents were murdered? Wow, that sucked….I wonder what Jason’s doing now? Let’s give him a call. La di da” Goddammit, I hate Jessica. Christ, if Jessica and Talan ever had a baby it would be the end of mankind. I can’t wait for Jessica to get really fat (we all know its coming).
And why must everyone always say stuff like, “Oh, it’s so beautiful here, I love it” when they go to places far from home. Yeah, like Laguna Beach is such a wasteland.
I’m still pulling for that “Very Special Episode” of Laguna Beach where Talan is eaten by a shark.
J-
You don’t have to be so harsh and rude!
I love, love your reviews, B-side. This is the best site ever! Did I hear you right that Talan dated Lindsay Lohan???? I need to hear more. Also, to anyone out there….are there any other sites with photos or info about the Laguna kids?
Ah, I give in. I think I’m on team Kristen now. Poor Roz. LC and Stephen weren’t even in this episode and they make the opening credits over her. I think even Emily has gotten more screen time within the last few episodes. Oh season two…
Anyway, this recap was much funnier than last weeks! Probably due to last weeks episode being a total piece of crap and this week’s episode kicking ass! And also, Alex’s friend Courtney did sound an awful lot like Fran Dresher.
hey B-SIDE
Dude. How can you even say that the idiot Alex has a “healthy normal” outlook on relationship.
Your hate for Jessica is making your recaps SUCK!
You think it was AWESOME for ALex to attack someone she knows will not fight back over some loser guy who does not even like her?
The worm has turned …Alex is now the annoying obsessive idiot…GET WITH IT MAN!
sheesh
Did anyone else think Emily looked like the kid from the Sixth Sense?
B-side…why do you like Alex so much? I mean i totally think Jessica is annoying, but I did feel bad for her. And Alex is the biggest friggin hypocrite on earth – which Kristin finally (albeit meekly) pointed out to Alex.
She was just as pathetic as Jessica – because she looked like a cracked out psycho going off on her. And I mean how come she went off on Jessica, but then came back with that lame schmoopy face with that idiot Jason.
_______________________
AMEN SAM!!
These recaps are bullshit!
ALex was NOT UNlike Jessica at all this episode or last episode!!!
Remember last week?
“why are you doing this”. “Why are you doing that”.
“do you still want to hang out with me”.
WAA WAA WAA
Please, the girl might be even be WORST than Jessica,because she wanted to commit violence over Jason.
Now next week she is all “What did you say to Jason, Casey”. Sheesh!
The word ‘Jason’ has been coming out of Alex’s mouth this entire season, just as much as his own girlfriend Jessica babbles on about him.
From Alex obsessing over trying to get with him to now trying to keep him.
At least Jason made a hella fool out of her at the basketball court..
Biggest brush off I’ve ever seen.
I think it’s an interesting phenomenon that Jason appears to make any girl he’s with whiny. I know Jessica trended towards it naturally, but even Alex – who’s really no shrinking violet, typically (the “slut” exchange with Jessica comes to mind – switches into a very small, meek little voice and asks hesitant, tentative questions when she’s around her (former?) boyfriend.
Okay- I don’t care how long Jasalex lasted or how it was edited. Jess and Jason were together first and Alex is just wrong.
My take on it is this: Alex was feeling Jason even before he and Jess got together which was why she invited him to the dance. Jason wanted to be with Jess however. Jason and Jess got together but Alex wouldn’t give up. Jason heard Alex was kinky and thought he should give it a try, especially since she was offering it to him like all the time. He was even willing to break up with his girlfriend to find out. So he and Alex hooked up and clearly it wasn’t good cause in no time at all he was back to hooking up with Jess. You will notice that he planted a hickey on Jess’ neck, not Alex’s before sending them off to Cabo. Not that I am condoning Jason’s barbaric antics, but why is it weird for him and Jess to hook up? Isn’t that what boyfriends and girlfriends do in high school? Break up to make up- Kristin and Stephen went through it the entire last season, with Stephen and Kristin breaking up, Stephen flirting with LC. The whole time both Roz and Jess stayed loyal, even though LC is popular and well liked and they could have easily jumped bandwagons.
Speaking of Kristin, I am completely annoyed with her and Roz. How can they ostracize their friend for the enemy, Alex M? I guess Queen Bees are never known for their loyalty (Heathers anyone?) Jessica is SO the yellow Heather- she could never be a queen.
I did enjoy Taylor’s (another yellow Heather) reaction to Kristin and Talan’s antics. She was obviously bothered but too much of a chicken shit to say something.
This review downplays the embarrassment that no doubt is still haunting Alex M. from that scene at the hoop court with her and Jason. She was hella molded if you ask me. He was clearly annoyed that she’d shown up and paid her whole speech very little interest.
My favorite part of this episode is Cedric sitting in Jessica’s hotel room. For one I thought he disliked her but then I figured out he was just there to enjoy her misery. Go head Ceddy!
La_LAND
BOWS TO YOU!!
You are so on point!
B-Side please call in sick next week and allow La_Land to fill in, especially if you are going to continue your sickofant Alex M love.
I can not watch Alex M. and not see Kelly Clarkson.
Jessica is the most annoying person ever. I have to watch the show because she is so annoying. I am addicted to ehr annoyingness. Its some sick pleasure.
Kristin and Roz were always too smart for her. I haven’t seen the first season, but have always gotten the feeling they’ve let her tag along to keep the producers happy.
The best moment of the show was Jason stonefaced and wanting to run away during his talk with Alex. She looked like such an unloved bully – like Frankenstein.
Has Taylor b/c a sidekick?
Kristin and Roz were always too smart for her.
———————
Well Kristin is anyway.
lol
Loved your post as well.
Jessica is annoying but she hardly needs to lose a few pounds in the stomach; she’s got some boobs on her but she’s a rather petite girl. I’m glad someone else noted her resemblence to Jamie Lynn Spears– definitely agree. On a related note, I think between the juggling desperate girls and the pathetic facepube chin strap, Jason’s channeling K-Fed. Now he’s just gotta knock-up Jessica a couple times and ditch her for Alex M., who will then poop out her own spawn. It’d make for an interesting season 3.
Always love these write ups. I’m looking forward to your take on next week’s episode most though.
Everybody on this show mumbles like they just downed ten shots of tequila after coming out of dental surgery. I think at one point they had subtitles…SUBTITLES!
This recap is the BEST! What is the deal with Sam….they didnt focus too much on him..seems Kristin is always has guys after her that she doesnt want…I still like Cabo last year…Kristin was a tramp and it was hilarious! As for the Jessica and Alex argument…GOOOO Alex..how stupid is Jessica to repeat what she said..and that comeback..wow dude you are low…I loved it! Although Alex may be have been luring Jason in while he was dating Jessica..the bottom line is..Jason will never be a 1 girl guy..he just doesnt have it in him..although Alex may have been making moves…she didnt actually make a move while Jessica was dating him…
hilarious!
okay this is HIGH SCHOOL.. remember that drama when it wasnt cheating unless you made out or f^ked that other guy… she couldve have 80 dinners with him. it wasnt until Alex and Jason were “officially” dating that this is considered cheating.
^ How can any HUMAN being say “GOOO ALEX” for cornering some weak girl who she KNEW was not going to fight her back then to laugh about her ugly mean behavior and rub it in by saying,
“YOU’RE SO LOW.”
This is the kind of mentality coming from Alex and her weirdo supporters that makes it clear why some kids come to school with guns to confront bullies.
I’d expect a low class asshole bully like Alex to act ike a like a low class asshole bully and pick on someone clearly weaker than they are. That’s what bullies do.
But I do not expect stander-bys who watched the complete and utter humiliation and bullying of another human being think it was “AWESOME” or to say “GOOO ALEX”.
It was not entertianing at all when Jessica was cornered. It was not a easy thing to watch IMO.
I felt horrible for her and I do not even care for or like the girl.
It was like watcing a meak little puppy getting kicked by it’s mean owner . Is that really entertaining?..YEA THAT IS SURE AWESOME!(/rolls eyes)
What’s wrong with people who support Alex’s SOCIOPATHIC LUNATIC behavior!!
There is NOTHING AWESOME or amusing or funny about what Alex did regardless if you like Jessica or not.
period
JMO
B-Side, you’re awesome. Are you single?
Back on topic . . . These girls are nuts (they all look alike, too – same flat face, big space between eyes features – maybe Laguna is like the South). Anyway, I wish they’d give more air-time to Sam, but maybe he’s too normal for the show.
I don’t know if anyone mentioned this but did you all notice how sick all of them were? Jason and Alex had no voices in the beginning and in Cabo Jessica and Cedric were coughing all over eachother. Must have been all that kissing they all do around there.
I could not believe that Cedric was so stoned on the balcony that he couldn’t even comprehend what he was doing. His face was priceless.
But seriously, if he was hanging out with Jessica he would have had to be messed up.
J-
That was hilarious.
Peachesandcream-
Calm down… it’s not that big of a deal. B-Side does an awesome job, too.
La_Land-
By your logic, no one should be able to date more than one person. It’s not about who was “there first.” Plus Jessica kept Caveman on such a short leash that I find it hard to believe that he was hooking up with Alex… and if he did, why wasn’t it as obvious as it has been with Jessica? Word gets around it seems.
you_are_lost-
Agreed.
Pro-Jessica Anti-Recap people-
So they both did the same thing to each other, but the person who has been less annoying about the situation has been Alex. You don’t hear her pining over Jason and she doesn’t have a blind devotion to him like Jessica did/does. During the conversation at the BB court, Alex had the sense to walk away when nothing was going anywhere.
And also, why date Jason when you could date a perfectly attractive wall? Or perhaps that rock over there?
B-Side, your recaps rule! I can’t wait for the BB one.
There is NOTHING AWESOME or amusing or funny about what Alex did regardless if you like Jessica or not.
^^^^
I so agree with that. I can’t stand when girls who have the bigger mouth think they can bitch people around. Her and Jessica haven’t appeared to be friendly thus far, she should be taking this up with her man. i.e. The man that she had been flirting with while Jessica was with him! I can’t stand that. I don’t care for Jessica, but I can’t stand that “I’m going to bitch you out, but go wimper to the guy in the middle”..He’s just as guilty. Alex has totally turned into Jessica…I don’t think Jess would’ve taken him if he wasn’t so easy for the taking…Of course Jessica is going to respond with attitude when that’s what she’s getting…
The same thing happened to me in high school except the girl who punched me in the face was the guys ancient history. Of course, that man was smart and chose my side because the girl acted like an ass. Any decent guy will think a girl that physically fights for him is a peice of trash, and try to tell me otherwise because you won’t win…If Jason were any kind of decent person he would tell Alex to chill the F* out on Jessica. Just because someone f*’s up doesn’t mean they deserve to have physical violence threatened on them..but I guess you learn that fighting isn’t a realistic solution to anything when you grow up.
Winner this week: Jessica, for not stooping to Alex’s level..
Previews-don’t care for Casey, but I’m looking forward to her telling Alex to grow up!
Did Anyone Notice How Cedric Was Slathering His Lips With Lipstick. Either This Kid Plays The Part Well Or They Picked The Right kid & If He doesn’t realize it already he dose look mighty into Jason.
OOOOHHHH! great episode & recap!
Alex looks like a complete asshole when she goes off on Jess…not that I can stand her bitching and moaning!
I wish they would have shown someone filling Jason in on the big cat fight in Mex and his reaction. Come on Mtv!
I did get the feeling that his blowing off Alex had something to do her psychotic antics. That scene was so painful to watch! I felt embarrassed for Alex as Jason sat there and daydreamed of Ced, but I loved every second of it.
Can not wait until next week when Alex goes nuts on Casey. I hope Casey opens a can of whoop-ass on her!
I feel sorry for Jessica too! Alex is a such a man-face; I would be bummed if my boyfriend left me for a he/she like that. The scene of the fight made me sad and scared for her. I wish Jessica would have punched Alex, actually.
This seems to be the first episode where we have clearly seen the kids getting drunk (and probably stoned). Hopefully there will be more of that because it seemed a lot more genuine.
Do you remember when Jason and Talan were discussing if he should hug Alex after her jumping out of a box thing before the Formal? He said he couldnt give her a small kiss or something because of Jess. But he kinda of proudly smirked about hooking up with Jess while with Alex. It’s obvious Jess is the one he cares for more. Because she’s better looking than Alex and more girly. He sees Alex as a buddy, thought it could be more then realized he didn’t have romantic feelings for her. Every girl at one point probably went through the whole high school-head over heals for the guy that treats you like shit, but can’t get over him thing. Jess did drive Jason away b/c she was sooo paranoid about losing Jason she annoying him away to someone who at that time didn’t seem annoying. But what does Jess owe Alex anyway they’re not friends and I’d do the same thing, only I would not have let anyone talk to me like that no matter how low my self esteem was.
Alex M. puts on way too much eyeliner, I can’t stand it sometimes…Multiple layers every episode, what gives?
Lol, I noticed the coughing too and 1st thing that came to mind was them smoking the marry-wanna. I kept yelling at the tv for Alex to hit Jessica . Gah I am super lame lol. Anyways, Jason must be really good in bed if hes got 2 girls sprung on him who barely dated him aaaaah the highschool days when you finally learn what a great peice of ass is. I think Jason keeps hooking up with jessica because she gives great head since thats probably the only way to shut her up. Also I almost peed myself when I saw Jessica stand up and suck in her gut like no one would notice it was great! I wanted to see Kristen slut it out this season in Cabo like last season but no gah no one slutted out. You’d think with as much money as these kids parents make Emily’s parents woulda gotten her some kind of pimple cream to kill that huge moutain on her face. I kept waiting to see the puss ooze out of it but it never happened. I wonder if that pimple will get a spin-off show lol. Anyways so far BEST EPISODE AND RE-CAP EVER!
you_are_lost- SCREW YOU I’M FROM THE SOUTH AND WE LOOK NORMAL! They all look the same cause they have plastic surgeon
Jerz- Jason probably only heard the rumors of Alex going off on Jessica and probably didn’t see it until Monday cause they don’t see the show until we do.
I believe it was said that they get a tape of the shows a few days before it airs. But I could most certainly be wrong.
BoQueefa: When did anyone say Anything about the south??
OOOH yea and they were definitely smokin on the balcony YEAAAHAA
I’m taking Jessica’s side on this…I dont blame her for being of Alex though, I would be scared if some tranny wanted to kick my ass too.
jasons sexy, too bad he is an idiot
Jas- you are correct ,the LB kids watch the show before we do. Very good recap this week. Someone said ALex reminds them of Kelly Clarkson, I Agree, even there manly voices, i like them both though. Alex should have punched Jessica-flat out. regardless of who took who from who, she “hooked-up” with someones b/f,plus Jessica lied to Kristin about hooking up, and said “promise we were never alone” BS! POOR EMILY having to listen to Jessica whine the whole show. GAWD someone should have brought duct tape to shut her freakin mouth. She is such a sad little girl. B-SIDE love the recaps, keep ‘em coming
i heard jason is dating lc now…great recap…
Alex is as dumb as Jessica. Jason can’t even put a full sentence together.
When they were playing basketball, Cedric referred to Jessica as “Chestica.” Of course, this was before the arrival of Alex M. and Courtney.
Ali- #37 said something about the south, that everybody looks alike. Which is just not true, Im from the south. But anyhoo, I think that Jason really likes Jessica, but just wanted to see how “kinky” Alex was. He basically used Alex and then blew her off!
Who does everyone think looks better…face-wise, nevermind the chest:
Alex or Jessica
Steven or Jason
Talan or Cedric
Roz or Emily
I’m voting Jess, Steven, Talan and Emily(cause I remember her in the bowling episode limo scene pre-acne)
I vote:
Alex- I think she has pretty eyes
Steven
Talan
Roz
Although I think that Taylor is pretty and that her and Talan would be the cutest couple.
Remember not too long a go, Alex M, Taylor, and sidekick Morgan S were sitting around outside, scheming to get Casey to arrange a dinner with Alex, Casey, Cedric and Jason? Someone said “Isn’t Jason with Jessica though?”. Alex M.’s reply was “Does it matter?”.
Karma’s a bitch, huh Alex?
Jessica is very annoying, yes, but Alex M is too. I wish Jessica had slapped the shit out of her in Cabo.
I dont think Alex would have hit Jess anyway, MTV was taping arent there rules against that? It is like if someone hit another castmate on real world, they could get thrown off the show. Jess might be annoying but I really feel bad for her. ALex M is undoubtedly a man.
B-Side, luv ( as in Talan l.u.v.’s Taylor) the recaps.
I’m sooo old, my friends can’t stay awake late enough to watch new episodes & thus I have no one locally to share/dish the nxt day. Keep ‘em comin’!
Jason is so verbally gifted, he makes Keanu Reeves sound like a valedictorian.
Did anyone dig the shot of Taylor’s LV luggage while packing with Alex & Morgan? Those poor kids…..so destitute. I guess public high school ain’t what it used to be
ok i think all of u ppl are seriously obsessed with this show. this shit is so stupid. drama, drama, drama. god!
Did anyone catch Taylor saying, “This is our last spring break ever…” Wait, I thought you guys were in high school, I didn’t know you were seniors in college. Alex the man face chain smoking bully should not have confronted Jessica like that, especially when her own friends were begging her not to. She gets off on thinking Jessica is scared of her. Regardless, it made for an excellent episode. It also really annoyed me that Jessica talked about her hickey the entire time…wait actually Jessica is just annoying. I thought it was interesting that Casey and LC were together talking on the previews for next week’s episode. Where was Casey this episode? Maybe she was getting a hickey from Jason in Costa Rica while Imedla made them food? By the way I felt really bad for Emily as well. How the hell did she get stuck rooming with Jessica?
“I think Jason keeps hooking up with jessica because she gives great head since thats probably the only way to shut her up.”
Exactly. You know what’s up, BoQueefa.
Jess is ugly, Alex ain’t all that either, but is prettier that Jess because of her eyes. However, its apparent that Jess gives good head. Its also obvious that Jason heard that Alex does anal (hence “kinky”), and Jess wouldn’t try it. So, he left. However, he finds out Alex won’t do anal right away and gets fed up.
Basically, Jess is a Butter Face. In other words, you like everything about her BUT HER face. Oh, and her mouth.
At least Alex is more confident and realistic about the relationship with Jason. She can take a hint.
I don’t think she’s a bully for going after Jess. If she went after people all the time, I would agree. But, this was one angry incident. I could see Kristin doing the same thing if she had found out Stephen was cheating while he was doing. The only thing that saved LC is that Kristin found out about all the cheating after the fact.
JT- typically when you are in a relationship with someone it is monogamous. I am sure that this is the type of relationship that Jess was trying to have with Jason. The next time MTV runs one of their Laguna Marathons, stick around and confirm Alex M. scheming to snatch Jess’ man up until she succeeded. Of course Alex dumbly expected the same thing from Jason, monogamy. I am older so I know that the typical guy is barely capable of such commitment.
Jess and Alex have a lot to learn. Rather than recognize that Jason is a manipulative jerk, they see him in this angelic light and fight with each other. They will figure it out eventually. Regardless of your feelings about Jess and her whiny self, she was with Jason first, which makes him off limits to Alex if they are in fact friends. This is just GIRLS CODE. If you aren’t a female, then I don’t expect you to get it. The whole line about, “Friends not dating other friends BOYFRIENDS� well that goes without saying and for most females I know, that applies to EX-Boyfriends as well which translates to: HANDS OFF ALEX. How absurd for Alex to expect Jess to honor the code when she was the first one to break it? Just imagine Kristin’s reaction if Jess were to date Stephen, even now.
Okay- and for Alex M. thinking she was hella raw for cornering Jessica at the bar, she needs to get over herself. Let me see her corner someone like Kristin- then I am like oh she has balls. Until then, in my book it doesn’t take much courage to confront someone that everyone is reporting is scared of you. No props will be given to the Wannabee Queen that tries to earn stripes for dissing a Yellow Heather.
Taylor became a sidekick in my book when she allowed Alex to reignite a friendship with the girl that was competing for her man, Talan, just to be mean; it seems very obvious that Kristin isn’t feeling Talan, she is just enjoying pissing of Taylor. Taylor didn’t have the heart to call Kristin a “whore� to her face, yet she will chop her up behind her back. Another Yellow Heather- scared of her own shadow.
Alex didn’t have the sense to walk away from Jason on the court fast enough. When she showed up and he wasn’t feeling her, she should have left. No- she’d rather acknowledge how embarrassed she was by his reaction out loud. Then she practically begs him to want to be with her.
She is worse than Jessica to me because she self creates drama. If she were to remove herself from the equation we’d have nothing to discuss. She gets props for one thing- ensuring that she gets a lot of screen time so you know who she is when she releases her album.
Ali, BoQueefa was referring to an earlier comment where someone said everyone in the south looks alike. And being from the south myself, I can say that is only true for Alababma
DOn’t forget West Virginia.
And Kentucky.
And South Carolina for the most part.
B-Side/others-
I totally agree with the poster who called into question your characterizing of Alex M.’s tirade as “awesome.” Despite Jessica, admittedly, being very annoying with the whole Jason thing, she’s a high school girl! They’re all (mostly) like that. Alex M., on the other hand, is a cruel bitch who used her man face, man shoulders, and general HUGENESS to intimidate/scare/humiliate Jessica during their fight. She showed the maturity of a two year old when she, by threat of physical violence, forced Jessica to call herself a slut and then told her “how low she was”. Very a la Heathers, beating the shit out of the nerd to make him say “I like to suck big dick” and then making fun of him for saying it. Alex M. sucks and looks like a man. Jessica, while annoying and needy, seems pretty normal for her age. Let us not forget that she also has FABULOUS breasts!
all I can say about this episode is Alex is a fucking hypocrite. I seriously was yelling at the plasma “JESSICA PUNCH HER IN THE FACE AND TELL HER SHE’S A HYPOCRITE!” The only difference between Jessica and Alex is that Alex never got caught. GOD….i wanted her to stand up for herself so bad and she just took it…man that made me want to hit jessica.
Alex is so freaking stupid, not as cute as the other girls, not that tough or intimidating at all (what would she really do? Hit you with her Dior bag?).
I can’t wait till the next episode, looks like Casey grew balls and tells Alex off.
La_Land -
If no one answered you yet, Jessica and Jason had been friends for a few years apparently and kinda grew into liking each other. See, all these kids (whether you seen them in season one or not) have been friends for awhile. The first season most of them auditioned to be on the show and from there a few were picked and some of thier friends were picked that wanted to be a part of it. This season the kids who were juniors becoming seniors that were also friends with the same group were picked. Some did not want to be on the show *Sam did not want to be casted or shown and was cut*.
anyways, alex, again, is a fucking bitch. i hope her wannabe music career never takes off and she ends up a drunk whore…oh wait…too late.
I hate Alex she is not pretty at all she looks kind of weird.
Jessica I just want you to know I am a fan.
MAtt and La_Land
Totally agree with both of you.
Alex M got the word to Jessica that she was out to kick her ass while in Cabo. Poor Jessica was stuck in her hotel room. She couldn’t even go hang out with her two-faced friends, Kristin and ALex H. lol
Alex M was a complete bully this episode.
I do not understand why anyone would think what Alex M did was a good thing…unless these are the same kind of people who like watching dog fights and snuff films.
I cannot wait until next week when it looks like Casey of all people tells Alex to shut it!
“sidekicks MUST watch their masters pack” genuis!!! hilarious!!
Jason-ugly, looks like a monkey and can’t string two words together duh….
b-side-props for not ripping on Emily’s acne. i’ll bet she already feels humiliated enough, but i don’t think i’d allow myself to be filmed if i looked like that, oh well
alex-very cute and a bit sadistic…
jess-hate the annoying whine (she’s young, i know. she’ll learn.)
anyone else hate that karate chopping motion she makes with her hands when she’s trying to make a point? very annoying!!!
Alex M. was a bully but… Karma is a biznatch.
Remember the fact the Alex had asked Jason to Winter Formal before he and Jess hooked up and swore on their relationship to ignore each other and bitch constantly?
These two have been trading back and forth on the same vocabularically-impaired dude for at least an estimated 4 months… a high school eternity.
At this point, the “winner” is gong to be the one that steals Talan and/or Roz from Kristin, or Cedric from Jason.
Christ I hope those girls discover the wonder that is The Single Life when they go to college: He Doesn’t Have to Be Your Boyfriend.
They need to follow the most awesome LB grad ever, Kristin’s, example and be freaking single for 10 minutes. You still get to give and receive all kind of head and you get to touch all the boobs you want to touch with no guilt.
I hope college is liberating for them all, I really do.
For the record, they weren’t playing HORSE. They were playing Tip-in.
alright, so I relented to the overwhelming # of comments this idiotic show gets and forced myself to watch an episode.
I don’t know any backstories, nor do I care. Alls I know is that Jason dude is retarded – but I did enjoy watching him. He needs a spinoff show – that, I’d watch. What does he do morning, ‘noon, and night? I find his empty head fascinating for some reason. That, and his Ancient Roman beard.
In other stupid teen news, I watched the “My Sweet Sixteen” that followed this episode because that dude (Bjorn) happens to live very near me, and I happen to be familiar with 960 Main in Hartford where he had his party. After watching the antics of those Avonites I realized that our country is doomed. Teenagers suck from LB, CA to Avon, CT.
This episode was amazing. All the drama… woo! I used to like Jessica and even feel bad for her but now I’m just completely sick of her shit. She’s the most annoying person on the show PERIOD! Taylor is starting to grow on me and so is Alex. I kind of think that Alex and Jason are cute together. Oh, and this episode made me want to go to Cabo soooo bad.
The only reason Alex confronted Jessica was because everyone knows how weak minded and defenseless Jessica is and Alex knew she could say whatever she wanted and Jessica would just sit there and take it. If Jessica was a little more bold like Kristin, Alex would have never had the balls to confront her. I am not defending Jessica in anyway she needs to grow a backbone, but by confronting Jessica the way she did she made herself look like just as much of an idiot as Jessica did just standing there taking that shit from Alex.
Then Alex sits there and practically begs loser boy Jason to say he still likes her.
Woo boy, Alex looked like a huge asshole on this weeks episode.
my question is — how could jessica say she “harldy remembered doing it”
From the episode where she and Jason hooked up it didn’t seem like they were drunk…and getting a hickey like that isnt something you could miss.
they were hella stoned on the balcony..thats probably the only way cedric can stand her since he talks about how much her her jess normally.
jessica and jason will be back “together” soon i bet..
i think its bullshit.. i feel soo bad for jessica i mean come on.. like yea they make her look all crazy and like shes a baby and stuff ..i mean come on poor thing her boyfreind ditched her for a fat girl.. i mean what would you do .. and i think alex needs to get over her self .. she ruined them … soo fuck alex i hate that bitch … and jessicas hurt that is why shes alway talking about it and her freinds suck if they cant understand her .. instead of making freinds with the enemy .. wow .. great freinds she has .. she basically feels alone and lost . but jason likes her deep down inside
Teenagers suck in Arizona, too!
Jessica sucks!
And I think we all know the double entendre there!
And Jason doesn’t like either of those girls deep in his heart. He likes the attention that they give him.
Poor Bjorn. Am I having auditory hallucinations, or did, at one point, he refer to a girlfriend?
I’m all for diversity and whatevski but…
please…
“Divo” over there does not have a girlfriend.
God I love being old. Just you wait, missy (Lauren #82), just you wait.
Thanks Sadie- if they were friends before then Jess’ reluctance to let go and move on is somewhat understandable considering her way of thinking.
I have a question- in the earlier episodes, Kristin tells Jessica, your boyfriend has cheated on you. Do you think that she was implying that he cheated with Alex?
Sarah, Matt and Hereandnow we are definitely on the same page.
I will be boycotting Kelly Clarkson Wannabee’s album when it debuts. She sucks.
I think that Jason’s entire head is covered in brown Velcro and that every morning he clears a patch on his face area so you can see his eyes, nose and lips.
On another note, BoQueefa you may have a point in Jason’s sack ability. Jason might just be an awesome lay which would explain why both girls seem to have lost touch with reality. I was impressed with the hickey on Jessica’s neck. She kept bringing it up which seemed to suggest she was thinking about the orgasm that may have accompanied it.
what’s interesting are some of the answers the cast members have given in their Q&A on MTV’s website for the show. Jessica for instance says her favorite high school memory is the Winter formal. the same winter formal where she ended up sitting and pouting all by herself outside. and jason predictably responds to a question about his idea of a perfect relationship with “relationships are worthless”
I believe Sam, Kristin’s “Crush” is the very same Sam who turned up at spring break last year and she made out with him in the bar, to which we heard Stephen’s now-infamous squeals of “Slut! Slut!” followed by “Where’s LC?”
Why is it tha the kids can’t go to Cabo without someone being called a slut?
why is it that last year i hated kristin and now i think she’s a badass chick? i think some girls stick up for jessica because a lot of us can see a younger version of ourselves in her and know what it feels like. but when she called herself a slut, that was just like one of those moments where you’re watching a sports game and just want to jump in and put yourself in that place. i would have LOVED being Jessica at that moment to show man alex what’s really goin down.
By the way Jessica and no one else mentioned that Alex did the same thing to her, I think MTV edited this shit to manipulate the situation to look different. Does anyone else feel like something in the plot line is missing?? I dont know it just seems reallllly edited. They do that on the Real World to create falsely portrayed drama. Anyone else agree that something is missing from the story?
Alex has a lot of room to talk. While she was sitting there complaining about Jessica’s “attitude” I couldn’t help but remember the fight. And Alex was the one saying “you’re such a h*”…”you’re such a slut.” Come on Alex you need to grow up. And yes I agree Jessica could afford to lose some lb’s in her stomach.
Umm hello, no mention of how the whole time Jessica was with Jason Alex was trying to steal him away. She is so pathetic. Jessica is to but I think by watching this show she can maybe see how annoying she sounds and try to change. There is no hope for Alex, she will always be a spoiled brat.
And nice that Jessica’s friends just ditch her like that. Reminds me of junior high school. The good old days.
My friend and I heard through the grapevine a.k.a the internet, that Jason apparently was caught making out with L.C. at a VMA after party. HMMMMM….does anyone know anything about this?
Okay… i don’t understand why so many people support Jessica. She’s clearly obsessed with Jason. He never should have left a mark on her neck, because now its like a shrine. She acts like its lame, but has to keep it obvious and bring it up at the most random points in conversation. She always has to be the victim. The cat-fight or whatever wasn’t even that bad. I feel bad for Alex, I think she’s too cool to be with Jason.
mandi- You really cannot understand why people feel bad for Jessica this episode?
Come on!
Anyway, Alex M is so not a cool chick.
She was threatening physical violence against someone she knew would not fight back, and all over some loser guy that does not appear to like her.
That’s another thing..Alex keeps asking Jason if he still likes her and if he still wants to hang out with her.
That is not cool at all.
She also went driving past Jason’s house to see if he was at home while he was still with Jessica. Remember that?
She is the stalker and the obsessive one. IMO
At least Jessica had a reason to always be talking about Jason…her was her boyfriend. Alex babbled about him just as much this season but she was not even with him at the time.
She is a loser and Jason’s reaction to her at his basketball game with the boys was priceless.
Alex deserved it though.
I don’t feel bad for either of em. I thought the fight was funny as hell. I was more like Kristen in HS if my 2 “friends” were fighting I woulda been on the side lines laughing my ass off. Kristen warned Jessica and of course her annoying stubborn headed self didn’t listen. One thing that freaks me out about Jessica is when shes made she makes like a stangling someones neck hand gesture makes ya wonder whats gonna happen when someone pushes her buttons to hard lol.
I’ve just become addicted to Laguna Beach. I think Jessica instilled some payback to Alex. Go…..Jessica.
jessica couldn’t throw it back that alex did the same because she doesn’t know. we (audience) do but she doesnt. it was funny how taylor just sits there smilling at the breakfast table the day after when alex is all going off because taylor knows that alex is a hypocrite (alex had said before hes so hot you guys and taylor was like he’s with jessica and alex was like so what). kristin and alex h also can’t be faulted because they don’t know either, they just see an obsessed friend who lied about hooking up with her ex.
oh and bjorn from my super sweet sixteen = annoying with no style. that jacket was hideous although i did love his dior glasses (only because i also own them )
I don’t even want to tell you how old I am…but let’s just say ’40 is the new 20.’)
Jessica is annoying. But we’ve ALL been there. C’mon, admit it. Not to that extreme, but we’ve all shamed ourselves for a looZer boy at one time or another. I wanted to see Jessica give Alex a verbal slapdown. But she didn’t need to. Alex got hers when Jason blew her off on the bb court. Altho I hate that chick, I was just cringing to see Jason cut her lose.
My God that boy is stooopyd. He needs to clean that phlegm out of his mouth and attempt to complete one full sentence a week.
While I love LC, she is getting more pathetic by the week. Get the LB Season 1 DVD and see how nice LC comes off (in the cast interviews) about Kristin and how Kristin is a complete beeyatch about LC. Also has some good insights on both RE: ‘SteeePHANNN.’ Gotta hand it to Kristin tho, she’s a total ‘man.’ I wish all women had a little more of that in ‘em. (so to speak.)
i love these recaps! my roommates and i sit around and do the same thing! gotta love trashy reality tv.
they are all skanks and it’s awesome and jason looks like he’s a 35 year old pedophile
ps. i love you b-side
I think a lot of you take this show way too seriously. Don’t get me wrong, I watch every episode a few times and always read these recaps, but I don’t really develop an emotional attachment to these people. Even though they are real people on the show, the fact is that MTV edits things and sets up the situations to make more interesting television so people should think of this as just another TV show.
That being said, it was wrong of Alex to go after Jason during Jessica and Jason’s dating and to date him “immediately” (it’s hard to give an exact date due to the editing) after Jessica and Jason broke up. It was foolish of Alex to think that Jessica wouldn’t try to hook up with Jason and it was pretty bad that Alex couldn’t be the bigger person and not fight Jessica and then rub things in at the end. However, as a viewer, it was “awesome” to see a scene with Jessica where she isn’t whining about him, although it would have been nice if it were under better circumstances that Jessica wasn’t annoying. Overall, I do feel somewhat sorry for Jessica, but as a character on a TV show, she’s really damn annoying. Oh yeah, no one else seemed to point that Taylor was just standing next to Alex watching the whole fight, instead of trying to stop like Emily who just showed up out of nowhere in this episode. Yes, I can tell that Taylor is a timid person, but we all know that during every fight, there should be a person on each side trying to stop the fight. That’s just the way that TV and movies work.
The scene on the balcony gets funnier every time I watch it, especially Cedric’s blank stare. Although that was the funniest moment in the episode IMO, there were a few other entertaining moments. Kristin calling Sam a hottie tottie made me laugh, but maybe that was just because it made me think of her referring to Sam like a tater tot. Also, the fact that Jason was staring off at his boys, or possibly a shiny object, the whole time that Alex was talking to him was pretty hilarious.
b-side, like many others, this line’s my favorite, Sidekicks MUST watch their masters pack. I vote for Cedrison since it’s easier for me to say.
This episode reminds me of the time I went on vacation with a Jessica and it was absolutely horrible. She whined and moaned about her stupid boyfriend the entire trip and completely ruined it for me. I feel sorry for Emily having to listen to that crap. My only comfort was to get rip-roaring drunk. even that didn’t completely shut out the horrors of the pitiful whining. Emily deserves a metal for putting up with it or at the very least, a good bottle of vodka.
Does anybody know how many epsiodes there are supposed to be this season? Thanks!
Weston, we might take the show to seriously, but who cares besides you? BTW thanks for the novel.
I AM NOT GAY!
Weston, for someone that claims not to be obsessed with the characters, you certainly do have a lot to say. “Everytime I watch the scene wtih Cedric on the balcony…” LOL, only the obsessed watch all those re-runs MTV shows of the same episode.
Thanks for the comments, everyone. Writing long-winded posts about Laguna Beach is just practice for writing the great American novel.
Its not for the obsessed, I watch episodes a couple of times because after i read the recaps here i see that there is stuff i missed on the show that people talk about, so I go back and rewatch and then its even better!
Exactly Emily, I didn’t even notice the Chestica part until someone mentioned it here.
I think Jessica and Alex and going to one day look back on how foolish they both acted when it came to Jason.
I know from being out of high school now for a few years there are still things i look back on and think Gawd what an idiot i was back then. But these girls will have it on DVD for the rest of their lives.
oh i hope they do a 5 year reunion with these people, i would love to hear how they feel about high school and the way they acted.
B-side i think this is a fun little place to go to and get some funny ass reviews.
I’m out!
DAMMIT i missed Cammie!! didnt even see her..
Ok Am I the ONLY one on here that saw the very very beginning of the episode, where Cedric was watching Jason pack?!?!?!? it was only the funniest part of the whole damn SHOW! Cedirc was practicing Fingering on his EYE!! i couldnt stop laughing over that!
Alex has an ugly, pugdy face and is so dumb.
Jessica’s back fat was hanging over the back of her pants… and she is annoying and dumb!
Emily please get some proactiv, your face looked SO nasty on my big screen TV
I need more Laguna info! Anyone with websites or photos, please list them here! B-side, you are AWESOME! I look forward to reading your articles each week!
I just found the myspace page for the acne girl, Emily……
http://www.myspace.com/emskillit
I feel sorry for poor Roz.. has she ever had an actual BOYFRIEND in the entire history of the show?? She should just hook up with Cedric while he hasn’t officially come “out”..
HAHA, yea why the hell was Cedric friggin working his eye over like that at the beginning of the episode???he must’ve had a furball in it or sumthin..but did you notice the eye he wasn’t working over was glued on Jason.. EWWWW what a perv.
ok, i don’t really know if this link will work. if not, go to the link for emily’s my space and read the comments. look for jessica’s…this is the link it took me too….

scroll down and check out the huge pic of jess, emily & friend…
THATS why you never see pictures of Jessica with Kristin and Alex, she’s probably always with Emily. Makes more sense now but anyways…good find on those. You can see on Emily’s page a picture of the infamous Sam from this episode.
I read the recaps every week. they are brilliant!! Does anyone have any infor on Where I can get information on Sam. He is so hot. I wish he was featured more.
thanks
AW
T4P that link!
DAMN that is a hot pic of Jessica…LOVE THE BOOBAGE!
Did anyone think that Jessica, Cedric, and Emily were getting high? They kept coughing and had glazed expressions on their faces…
Kristin is not a total ‘man’. I will never, ever understand why girls who have some self-confidence and who are not shy about saying what they want get labled ‘bitch’ or ‘man’.
Yeah.
It’s personal, so what?
Kristin rocks because she’s not a whining wannabe, she’s not swooning over a guy she went to pre-school with, and she’s a good friend to people who aren’t quite as capable yet as she is.
Confidence is good for girls. Bitchiness is sneaking around and stirring people up on purpose. Confidence is going about your day without worrying about what LC thinks. It really irks me that we have to say Kristin is such a man when what do we really mean? Kristin is as confident as any guy.
Sad, dudes, super f-ing sad that a young girl can’t have her shizzle together without being called a man.
“Whatever I want, Gagh.”
Gina
apparently sam is anti-everything and didn’t want to be on the show so was cut. he was supposed to be a leading member of the cast, i believe he has a my space attached to emily’s. check her friends list.
B-side, I applaud your oh-so-accurate recap of the most recent LB episode. I must admit you have captured the true drama that is teenage-dom in a well written synopsis! When I first heard of this show, I asked myself “Why?” and “Who cares?” Well, apparently a lot of people do… and now I’m hooked too.
In my opinion, Jess needs to GET OVER Jason and realize she’s not a doormat!! Alex should realize that she, too, is a “slut” when she took it upon herself to steal Jason away from Jess in the first place. Jason needs to stop messing with multiple girls at once before it bites him in the ass! LC needs to sit Stephen’s ass down and confess how she really feels about him and ask if there is a snowball’s chance in hell he’d give it a shot with her? Is so, then PLEASE DO IT!! If not, then MOVE ON!!! Stephen needs to stop giving LC false hope and be a man!! He also needs to stop following Kristen around like a lost puppy. The girl is so over him!! She just “hangs out” with him to fuel her already well developed ego. She does know how to have fun though. She seems to be the only one that doesn’t take anything to heart and go with the flow. She does come across a bit skanky at times… but hey she’s young and having fun. Oh to be 18 again… um… maybe not.
check out the article on kristin in the oct 6th rolling stone issue…roz is even part of it!!!
I wonder if Roz knows her nickname is Roz.. i wonder if her double chin knows..
I wonder, is Roz referred to as “Roz” elsewhere on the internet? Or is that just a kooky TVgasm thing.
Because the thing is, she is such a Roz. It just fits.
Sometimes, if I see her on TV, I just shake my head, smile, and say, “Roz…”
bside,
on the “official” pubboard whatever laguna beach site, people who (i think read here as well) have mentioned roz here and there.
Honestly how dum can a female be. I mean regardless of the fact that these girls are 18 you should know better. How can you get angry at Jessica for being with dumb ass Jason, let her live, and learn dude. Alex I feel was the slut weather you did something with Jason or not you knew he had a girl friend and still and though you chose to hang out with a player. you can’t blame Jason for being slow because he has two lame broads fighting over him! I mean Alex fighting for a boy who she hadn’t even been with for a long time c’mon. You should know that when you sit around waiting for a boy to leave a girl once you’ve gotten him some other girl or the same girl will come along, and take him from you. How dumb can these girls be. Jessica your silly to think that he will change for you, and Alex needs to go find her own man, and stop trying to lerk for left overs shes the S**t! Get over this issue beach bums!!!!
Grammar explosion!
B-side..
Yea, when I look at Roz on the big screen I don’t think “Alex” pffeh, Roz just fits.. her mom was probably divided between “Alex” and “Roz” when she named her, she should’ve gone with the latter, 4 sure.. Kelsey Grammer would prob agree too.
I always feel bad when a person is so cowardly that they would rather be degraded than stand up. Jessica is actually a bit of a tragic figure. In all seriousness, she needs to see a therapist. I am guessing there is something serious in her past to make her so willing to be emotionally abused be everyone. On the contrary, I really dislike Alex now…she knew that lame Jessica was afraid of her. And while Jessica was stupid for trying to put the moves on cromagnon Jason after he dumped her arse so summarily for the manly Alex, it seems incredibly hypocritical of Alex to act like SHE was the one who was put out by Jessica’s rebound seduction of Jason. Alex intentionally interfered with Jason & Jessica’s relationship (although, one could seriously argue using the word “relationship” to describe those two’s interaction). That makes Alex a man-stealer and a hypocrite…I like that less than someone who, like Jessica, is a man-stealer/imbecile. My big question is whether any of these teenagers should be involved in a reality show during their high-school years…I mean, it is obvious that these kids probably couldn’t even muster a collective point on their SAT tests…methinks they should attend to some learning rather than whoring around with each other.
On a final note: Jason is probably the most irritating person on the show. This guy is so damn stupid that he cannot formulate monosyllabic words. He’s got the emotional capacity of a treetrunk and the brains of a tit-mouse. The fact that ANYONE would be interested in this guy (except maybe for hiring him as a dumptruck operator) is shocking.
how come Jessica’s myspace has alex m as one of her friends if they were/are feuding with one another?
http://www.myspace.com/alexmmusic
i wonder how she sings, hope not as bad as christina (when she auditioned for a broadway play in season 1)
Emem, because the show was taped 6+ months ago. Feuds end and you wake up and see “wow I was a dumbass back then” and say sorry to one another. You also lose and gain friendships. So theres your answer pretty much in a nut-shell, they probably made up.
O.K not to get off the subject, but I keep checking for the O.C. recap and it is not on yet so, did anyone notice on the Laguna DVD they changed a lot of the songs that they originally used when the episodes aired on MTV. Especially in the first episode. Why would they do that??? And I am still obsessing over Sam. Anyone find any sites for him???
Just in reference to the West Virginia/South/wide space -between the eyes people. . . if this is in reference to incest or inbreeding, try looking up your state sex offenders registry and you will find that this type of genetic problem occurs in every state. And for the record the kissin cousins that I happen to know, are actually from the great state of Ohio, which would be in the Midwest. And they were from Columbus, home of the Buckeyes. Ain’t so great is it now?
HOW COME THIS SEASON HAS NOTHING ABOUT STEPHEN I MEAN COME ON THATS WHY WE USE TO WATCH THE SHOW….AS FOR THE LAST EPISODE I LIVE IN BEVERLY HILLS AND TO TELL U THE TRUTH ITS EXACTLY THE SAME. SADLY JESSICA AND ALEX ARE STUPID…ALEX SHOULDNT B MAD AT JESSICA FOR HOOKIN UP WITH JASON WHY ISNT SHE MAD AT JASON HES THE ONE WITH THE THING IN HIS PANTS…JASONS NOT EVEN CUTE THEY NEEDA ALL GROW UP
Tiffany Kiley, are you inbred or just annoying?
whoa.. did anyone see kristin in rollingstone? i guess her and alex (roz)are bestest friends because throughout the article she is mentioned or quoted.
http://www.celebweb.org/pictures/displayimage.php?album=1927&pos=0
Oh no, not another Jenni!!!
Hi, i’ve mentioned this a few times, all of them are friends but the show has to be interesting, so you see them as being enemies or whatever. Besides that, all these people seem to be fake and really don’t seem to care about each other that much. It’s like they put on this fake oh i like you or i hate you front when its the opposite. anyways, these people have the fakest attitudes towards people around them and im sure if i ever met them they would be like omg hi thanks for watching to my face and omg what a loser behind my back.
they are all friends, hell there are pictures of jess and cedric together at winter formal, theres a pic where he was her date for something, there are a billion pics of alex m and kristen floating around….
Awww, isn’t that cute of Kristen from Launga Beach (wh0re)PG13-TV to half naked at the age of 18-19 to Rolling Stone (wh0re) R. Whats next Playboy or wait maybe Hustler? I had a feeling one of these girls would end up inside some magazine half or fully naked I expected Jessica since she has low-no self esteem.
I think Kristin looks awesome!!! I think all the haters out there are suffering from a nasty case of jealousy.
She might look good, but doin that at 18. She is def headed to Playboy.
Ok like did anyone else notice that Jessica has gotten a little on the chunky side, I mean when she stood up at the pool to put her towel around her you could tell she has def gained weight.
jessica didn’t gain weight, she just has an hourglass figure where her boobs are big, small waist, big hips…it looked weird because she has bigger hips than a stomach.
kristen looked gorgeous and even if she is a whore, let her, it doesn’t affect my life in any way so why should i care…and she already said she had considered playboy and probably will be in it in the future. wouldn’t doubt it at all and she should because she’s hot and it isn’t like shes got anything else going on (in the article shes only taking one class at school, must be a tough life).
I have one word re: kristin in rolling stone… AIRBRUSH
yea jessica has a lil spare tire thing goin on, it’s probably all the ben & jerry’s she’s been downin since Jason dumped her.
Oh..Sarah, don’t go all ‘Alex’ on me for calling Kristin a ‘total man.’ She is one. I think it’s great for a gal to be sassy and say what she wants. But Kristin is like a rampant, hormonally-raging teenage boy. She’ll suck up to any guy (momentarily) for attention. And that’s more sad than powerful. Any moron can flaunt her bod and get a man. I admire her for having a spine, but I think she toys w/men and is a manipulative little tease. And that’s not really a powerful and attractive a trait is it?
Yes, Yes Jessica def does have a gut goin on…thas no hourglass figure…thats fat~
ok that’s WEIRD!! i found this website, supposedly it’s Roz’s, and she said she’s now dating CEDRIC????!!!!! like, gag me with a spoon.. is that 4 real?
www1-03.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=xluvsjuicyx
No, B-Side, you’re not dreaming…
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1510199/20050922/index.jhtml?headlines=true
Ok does anyone else think that it was wrong for Kristin to lead Stephen on like she did in last nights episode. I mean she knew what his intentions were by going up there, so why cause him anymore pain.
I think being able to lead multiple guys on at the same time is what makes Kristin unique and special. Even after all these years, Roz is still in awe.
I feld bad for Talan yesterday and I don’t even know how that feeling is possible given he was able to date Lindsay Lohan b/c of this little show.
did anyone read that article in rolling stone where kristen mentioned pissing off lindsey lohan by sleeping with talan (not sex but sleeping in bed)?
and duh its airbrushed, what picture in ANY magazine isn’t?
being able to lead guys on isn’t a special talent, it’s called being a slut. in the article her dad mentions he doesn’t speak about her at work because he’s embarrassed…kristin is a slut let’s face it. leading guys on and acting like a guy isn’t because she has confidence in herself, it’s because she lacks it and needs validation in any form she can get it.
she really is even sadder than jessica. i guess it’s why i like roz so much, at least she isn’t hobagging and making herself look stupid, she appears more real than anyone else on that show besides taylor whose just bland.
Kristin is like a man trapped in a girls body. She does to guys exactly what guys do to girls..its actually kind of funny. I think that she just wants to be single right now and date around, but should not do it at the expense of hurting others or leading them on.
Stephen’s coming off as a bit of a sad sack and just trying to use Kristen and ‘reconnect’ b/c he’s lonely.
All think the difference between a slut and a tease is all the good stuff that make sluts fun and tease’s a blueball.
you_are_lost, your mommy/aunt & daddy/uncle are from the South — poor thing! One day, if your body every catches up to the size of your empty head, and you get surgery to uncross your eyes, maybe a southern belle will give you the time of day. … NOT, you’d never be on the level — you cross-breeded a$$whipe!
“I’m just saying” what are you talking about?
B-Side, you’re awesome. Are you single?
Back on topic . . . These girls are nuts (they all look alike, too – same flat face, big space between eyes features – maybe Laguna is like the South). Anyway, I wish they’d give more air-time to Sam, but maybe he’s too normal for the show.
Posted by: B-Side and Me Sitting on a Tree
—————————-
excuse me, “you_are_lost,” my rantings were meant for the cross-bread “b-side and monkey sitting on a tree”
Ok I get it…my bad…anyway I dont know why all of them are so on Jason..he is such a jerk. He does not even care about either of these girls, he knows that he can walk all over them and they will still come back to him….pathetic on all of their parts.
To bad they never did say what Alex “bad hygiene” problem was….but that was pretty nasty of Casey to do considering she was supposed to be friends with her.
I don’t get the fascination with Jasdric (Jason/Cedric) either. I think dude is on meth or something. The only things he talks in complete sentences about is baseball. We’d get more complete sentences and enlightening conversation if MTV had followed the goings-on of a Laguna Beach preschool.
I wish Jessica had taken her flip flop off and beat Alex Monkey upside her head. That $hit was really pathetic. Jessica is annoying as hell but I was routing for her in that biotch fight!
That was sooo pathetic cus Alex knows that Jess isn’t goin to say anything back to her. Alex acts like she is a bad ass with Jess but Jess is like a little kid. I bet Alex would not do that to someone who would actually say shit back to her and give her a fight. Jason is so ignorant, I cant believe he has made it this far.
Jessica seems to be totally over Jason in this episode, when she was scamping up to the shore after frolicking in the water she looked like she just stepped off the set of Baywatch or something.
Talan is a friggin idiot if he thinks Kristin has “feelings” for him and Stephen looked like a dope too.. I think Roz was jealous of Kristin’s “mad skillz” at breaking guys hearts. If Roz thinks she’s gonna get some tips off Kristin, she’s a lunatic.. the only guy she could dupe like that would have to be.. well blind, first and foremost.
Let’s face facts, Stephen and Talan and everybody all go gah-gah over Kristin because she’s an easy lay. She’s just a fast little 18 year old. If that weren’t true, she’d be labeled a tease like Taylor and turn into a sidekick after one episode. Stephen should have moved on long ago — I’m sure he can get much better. LC is just too damn bland and insecure to go after what she wants so I don’t even want him to settle for her, but it looks like that may be going down next episode n-e way.
Yeah Kristin is just some easy booty…they all know it.
Easy booty.. yea, Kristin definitely is that, she told Stephen straight out she just wants to hook up randomely with NO commitment.. he knew it wouldn’t be any other way, he just HAD to lay his feelings out there one last time so she could squash ‘em.
was anyone surprised that kristin decided to stay in the hotel by herself and not spend the night with stephen? Stephen needs to get over Kristin, he is in college and needs to start living it up in San Fran.
and I can’t wait until next week when Kristin screws over Jessica and her new guy!!
www1-03.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=xluvsjuicyx
This has got a ton of pics!!!! Look at the last pic of all of them at the VMA’s…… Alex M is holding on to Casey!! And Jessica looks really pretty, I honestly think she is the prettiest one, she just needs some self-esteem!!!!!!
…the dinner at the beach most likely wasn’t as producer arranged as implied, I stayed at the melia during the week before they shot this episode [stephen and dieter were there and kristen and lo showed up... i swear. the guys i was with got into fights with dieter at the clubs and some of the girls hooked up with stephen and dieter] and there is a restaurant that is really popular right on the beach outside the melia thats open to everyone.
not to ruin the fun, just wanted to interject this. i love the write ups.
Does anyone think its odd how jessica, emily and cedric sat on their balcony coughing through a whole scene? Hmm… could they be up to some illegal activities of marajuana???
hey im from german
i lovvveee the tv soap laguna beach…everyone of u know the people there????*lol*
