The next morning, Stephen articulately described his interaction with Kristin. "I was like zhzzz and then like zhzzz," he said. His friends then asked if he was also like "brrrppp" or more like "vrreeee," to which he replied "rrrrrrrnnh." Stephen's internal conflict was later complemented by a lovely little trip to some island where he surfed the waves in tranquility. Oh, the torment of Stephen. Will he ever find serenity?
Probably not. At dinner, he sat next to LC who doted on him like a caring mother. Feeling the need to drive up her maternal skills, Kristin decided that she too could feed a boy, so she turned to the dorky guy next to her and nearly forced a spoon of molé down his throat. "Who me?" he managed to say as she stuffed his face with Mexican fare. With the gauntlet thrown down, Stephen and LC simply left the table to go off and--- well, I don't know what they did. My satellite went out. I'll just assume that something mildly scandalous happened and all the girls were a twitter about it.
This show has me asking just one question. Where is Seth Cohen? Okay, not him literally, but can we at least get some sort of culture clash here? All these kids are the popular "Welcome to the OC, bitch!" types, but surely not everyone at Laguna Beach High is pretty and cool and invited to posh events like the "Black and White Ball." I mean, what's a teen movie without the dorks and underdogs?
Oh well. I'm going to go listen to Hilary Duff and Avril Levigne now.

Interesting article in the NYTimes several weeks ago about the show... Apparently several of the cast are actually from the area, but other than that, locals say it bears very little resemblance to O.C., particularly Laguna Beach.
The whole black and white party apparently was a particular source of irritation for locals.

Is it just me or does every girl in the O.C.(at least on this show) look exactly like?
Example: Just look at that party they had....

As a former resident of the O.C. for more than half of my life, I have a big problem with the subtitle to this show "the Real O.C." because there is nothing "real" about this show - at least not from my perspective.
Where are the minorities? O.C. is not as lily-white as this show portrays.

by the way, its "what happens in cabo stays in cabo!" not, "what goes on in cabo, stays in cabo" accuracy...

Kristin, something you need to understand is some shows are on the air specifically for people to watch and make snarky comments about, i.e. "Trading Spouses", "Maury", and yes, even your beloved "The Real OC". I have seen the show a couple of times and it wasn't until I read this posting, that I realized it was a "reality" show. I thought it was some lame attempt to copy the magic that is "Curb Your Enthusiasm".
So Kristin to sum it up, and tell you I think you're dumb, if you don't like what you're reading, don't read it.

I'm sadly addicted to this ridiculous series. It's very unrealistic, its dramatic, it's pointless. But i still love it.
