Back in Newport Mommy and Daddy are so excited to see their little princess and her bags full of laundry. They want to know how college is and Chrissy is just so happy she joined a sorority. She even had a sorority date party and this is where the parents get to learn about Billy, prompting Mommy to ask what's going on with Clay. Only dinner at the beach house can answer that question, Mommy.
And speaking of the beach house, Clay is slicing tomatoes and lighting candles. Chrissy has de-frumped for dinner and sits down to tell Clay all about college. See, there is this huge group of people who all hang out together and they get to do lots of activities with frats. How do you like that, Clay? "Uh..." Chrissy tells him he needs to follow through and come up to visit her. Yes, Clay. You would love some of the frat activities Chrissy has been involved with. Clay wants to know where they stand and Chrissy's all, "Well, I still really like you and we obviously have fun together, BUT..." and Clay's all, "Yeah it would be stupid to throw away what we have..." and Chrissy's like, "That's what I'm saying too, it's just so hard to be far away..." and Clay's all, "Yeah there's a lot of trust involved. What about seeing other people, 'cause I'm not. Do you like any guys?" And Chrissy's all, "I don't like any one guy, I've just been meeting SO many people..." Poor Clay, this doesn't sound good.
"So... uh... what now? Huh?"
The next day over in Santa Monica, Original Allie and Fatty find a picnic table of their own to assess their college situation so far. Here is Allie's summation: "I really like it here. I'm having fun like, living up in Santa Monica like, and I like the fact that like, we're so close to home but like, yet we're like, far enough that I feel like I'm actually like, getting college experience." Well said, Allie. Also, Allie has done the opposite of Mayor G-Thing, in that she has stepped up her looks a notch. She looks really cute with some darker tones woven into her hair and her crazy bangs pulled into a bobby pin. Fatty, however, is still platinum.
Very impressive, Allie!
These two are really glad to be away from the "small town" drama (it's called high school, girls. Newport Beach isn't exactly small), but they're also excited to see everyone again at Chrissy's party.
Clay is apparently not leaving all that early for Arizona because he has time to interrupt Mayor G-Thing's front-yard-golf-swing-practice to rehash the beach house dinner. Mayor G-Thing chants, "Tiger, Tiger, Tiger Woods, y'all!" which pretty much says it all. Clay says that while he's not ready to give up all together on Chrissy, she didn't really make anything clear last night. Surprise, surprise, Mayor G-Thing doesn't think Clay should be stressing over chicks during this, their senior year. Especially when he himself has no chicks to stress over. There's still hope, though, when the Mayor learns that Chrissy will be bringing some "sorority ass" from Santa Barbara to her party tonight. Keep dreaming, Mayor G-Thing.
And the "sorority ass" is just now arriving at Chrissy's house! I guess skinny jeans are the trend in Santa Barbara. The girls are all weirded out because it's like they're together all the time, but now here they are hanging out in this random place! (Chrissy's house.) OMG! Of course the beach house dinner comes up and Chrissy shares with the girls that she and Clay didn't really determine anything. That dinner accomplished nothing. They want to know if she can hook up with other guys - like Billy - but Chrissy has no idea. Look who's here! It's Sasha! Sasha, meet the girls, girls, meet Sasha. Time to shop! As the girls ride across on the Balboa Island ferry, Kylie becomes the female Mayor G-Thing, telling Chrissy that she really needs to keep her options open and not be tied down to a high school boy. She and Allie keep telling Chrissy that there may be a surprise in store and that it's definitely good she's going shopping so she can look good tonight. Oh gee, I wonder if there's any way on earth that the surprise could possibly be... Billy? Very stealth, ladies.

Jesus! Daddy was the door greeter at Chrissy's party? As a recent high school graduate and current college freshman.. What ze hell? Who has a house party (with alcohol I assume) and full on makes out with a guy with her dad in the same house?
Chrissy and her dad are creepy!

What was with all the obvious voice-over! Goodness.

besides everything else that is obviously annoying about this show, the one this that bothers me the most is taylor's hair! it makes her look like she has a shrunken head and the way she always runs her hands through it is soooo annoying. she is gonna be one of those people we see on oprah in a few years having a fabulous makeover because their hair is down to their calves and they look crazy!
& wtf is up with chrissy's voice/manner of speaking. she talks ridiculously fast and uses the word "like" way more than anyone else on the show does. its incredibly bothersome and she really needs to stop it.

there were so many things about this episode that didn't make sense...

To clarify: a dime piece is a 10! Like dayumm.. that girl a 10!
Therefore a five piece is a 5... not so hot.
Thanks for the recap Honey Gangsta, this show needs the help!

I guess Daddy just keeps a fleet of Lexus SUVs in his garage at Chrissy's disposal because I swear she drove a black one home from school, but then when she went shopping with her girls, she was driving a white (silver?) one.
I can't believe how dumb she was to make out at her house with that little hobbit while everyone from high school that knew Clay was there. I love that G-thing left him a message with the good news and was like "we'll sort this out when you get back into town." Speaking of g-thing, it definitely looked like he had some sort of wasting disease that first scene on the boat with Clay.
I'm sorry, I may be 10 years older than Clay but he is much much hotter than Billy or any other guy on that show for taht matter. Chrissy is a moron.

DP Hooker - my thoughts exactly...I felt a little creepy thinking that, being that I'm probably about 10 years older than Clay myself, but he is definitely way hotter than Billy.

Hello!
So happy to see you guys commenting! I didn't want to have to sort out "Home for the Holidays" all on my own.
Steez: YES! I went to urbandictionary.com after I posted this (since I am so old and out of touch) and edumacated myself about the "dime piece" reference. Good to be on the same, young page. :)
DP Hooker: SO GLAD to see you! I always look forward to your hilarious comments. You are definitely one of my favorites around here.
Thanks for keeping me laughing, guys!
Much love!
-HG

Honey Gangsta - aw thanks! my first thought when i saw "home for the holidays" was that i hoped you would be recapping it.
My other final thought on what a dipshit Chrissy is was this: What kind of girl sets up a friend (I'm assuming she likes this Kylie) with a guy like Chase??? She was like "you guys are really cute together," as if that made up for his on-again, off-again situation with Taylor and just being a d-bag player in general. I thought that was so weird that she'd do that to a friend.
Looking forward to more crazy antics from the newp!!

I am so glad this semi-boring yet awesome show is back. Two things about teh show I loved-- the fact that Allie changed her hair... it looks SO much better! Also, I also thought of the free advertising UCSB was getting with Chrissy. Seriously. Just because you are at school there doesn't mean you have to wear the clothes.
I thought I would see some sorority letters, to figure out what sorority she belonged to-- hopefully that will come up in the future, because I am reading PLEDGED right now, and would love to find out that she lost her virginity to some frat guy as part of hazing. That would be sad, but hilarious, since she was so proud of her "V" status before.

i don't understand why chrissy is the protagonist. she's my least favorite character, f'real. as embarrassed as i am that i get enough into this to have a "least favorite character."

DP Hooker I kinda did what Chrissy did to a friend of mine who I really consider my friend, I hooked her up with a guy I've known since we were kids cause I thought they'd be compatible even though I know he's a player. I meant no harm I just thought they could have a good time, it has nothing to do with whether she likes the girl or not, maybe she just thought she'd have fun with a guy she's known for a long time...kinda redundant heh. Anyways, glad to see you're recapping this show HG, loves it! :)

frillover-
I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that Chrissy is a Pi Beta Phi. It seems to have sucked the brain cells out of her. She and her friends from Santa Barbara seemed so vapid.

I too have the hots for Clay and I've got almost 20 years on him. Woe is me:(

um, i'm pretty sure chase and chrissy's friend were not so much set up my chrissy as newport's producers as a way to keep everyone tied to each other. came in handy second episode, no?
16 of 18 | Posted by jesshloly | Posted on December 21, 2007 1:48 PM
lmao ok then assuming it's not scripted. my bad. I'm just saying that it's not entirely uncommon for girls to do that.

good call t00haute about Taylor's weird annoying long hair look. this has been bothering me about her also. "her shrunken head look". HA HA HA! i AM CONVINCED that she is hiding something awful about her looks behind that over-processed mop. maybe weird spock ears? horrible zits? mutton chop sideburns? she wears way too much makeup btw... something terrible is going on behind all that hair. when she is in the hot tub it still stays plastered to the sides of her face and she peaks through it like a curtain. very mysterious, weird and bothersome.
agreed, this billy guy is a chump punk. clay could easily beat his ass, and should just out of principle. i hope chrissy finds clay humping allie #1 and runs home whimpering to daddy. damn, she is good looking but so dumb.
