Clay bounces back.
Wow guys, sorry this one's so late. Holidays, you know. And unlike the Newport Harbor kids, I was not home for the latest holiday. I was out of town for a few days, but now I'm back and ready to party! Let's see what the kids have cooked up for us this week!
So we start out by joining Chrissy and a bunch of her sorority sisters sitting around the sorority house discussing how like, totally weird it's going to be to like, not be together on Thanksgiving. It's going to be so weird that they'll all be calling each other every single night to check on what everyone is doing and make sure they can all breathe while in different cities. Allie 2 asks if Chrissy has talked to Clay since they broke up, which she hasn't, and Kylie says it's all good because Chrissy still has Billy. And then we learn that Billy has become good friends with Chase and the boys want to plan double dates and stuff to take the girls on, which Kylie is just so like, above. Anyway the underling girls of the sorority want to know about the Big Breakup, so Chrissy tells them it was depressing and now she doesn't even want to go out when she's home for Thanksgiving for fear of bumping into Clay.
What's the story, morning glory?
What's the word, humming bird?
Did you know that Newport Beach gets decked out like Candyland for Christmas? Well, it does. Mayor G-Thing must have allocated some tax money for all of the giant candy canes.
Re-elect Mayor G-Thing!
And speaking of the Mayor, he is arriving at Clay's house right now to pump him for information. Clay has been thinking about the whole Santa Barbara experience and wants to know what Mayor G-Thing thinks of Billy. Surprise, surprise, Mayor G-Thing thinks Billy is a douche. He says that all of the kids up in Santa Barbara are just a different breed. That's an interesting theory there, Mayor G-Thing. Not everyone is so fortunate as to be born and raised in Newport Beach along with your breed. Maybe Billy just can't help being a douche. After all, who knows where he's from? Clay says that he just hopes Billy treats Chrissy the way she deserves to be treated and I almost puke. How's that? Like the manipulative spoiled brat she is? Mayor G-Thing wants Clay to move on and get over it, so to that end he has planned a barbecue/Jacuzzi session complete with "chicks" to help in Clay's cause.
Let's join up with two of our Newport Harbor hotties in the middle of their major pastime - grooming. Taylor and Alex have stopped in at a beauty supply store to get makeovers and gossip. As the makeup ladies dab brushes at the girls' faces - clearly their makeup was finished long ago in an earlier take - Taylor reveals that Mayor G-Thing called her earlier and told her all the break up news.
"Just pretend. Don't smear my lip gloss."
Also, they seem to be the designated "chicks" for tonight's barbecue, so they're going in order to drool over Clay, who they are certain will have girls fighting over him now. Poor Mayor G-Thing. He's had a crush on Taylor for a long, long time and now she's going to attend his barbecue just so she can admire his buddy. HA!
Up in Santa Barbara Billy and Chase have put their lame-o double-date plan into action and are escorting Chrissy and Kylie to dinner. Chrissy makes appropriate dinner conversation, launching yet again into her breakup story - in front of the new guy she's dating. Chase says it would never have worked because Clay lives two and a half hours away, which is precisely why he's moving to Santa Barbara so that Kylie can have a fair shot with him. Chrissy says that college and high school are two different worlds - plus the kids in Santa Barbara are a totally different breed, you know.
Ah, the barbecue. G-Thing is pleased with himself for inviting "younger reinforcements" and announces that they will be hanging out with booty like tonight's for the rest of the year. Yes, good luck with that, G-Thing. Do you think he realizes that the only reason these girls come around is to stare at Clay? Taylor arrives wearing a shirt from the future and as the girls get themselves a hamburger they whisper to each other about how cute Clay looks.
Taylor's shirt deflects nuclear radiation.

I just have to comment on Chrissy's purse when she hit up Shawnsie's party. She was wearing an evening black dress and a daytime brown purse. What the hell Chris? It so didn't match!! Then this week in the new episode she was totally rockin that bag again with another black dress! Time for daddy to buy you a new purse.

Chrissy makes me sick now. Seriously nauseous. I hate the fact Clay is such a sweetheart. The least he could've been doing was hugging on Taylor some more.

I feel bad for Clay because he is obviously too sweet of a guy for her (or at least he seems), and by the time she's done with him he'll probably turn into a playa! lol or something. Also, I noticed that at dinner when Chrissy was saying the O-V-E thing she was looking straight at the camera, or was it just me? Oh and in answer to your last screencap, no I don't think anyone likes her lmao. She sucks. Great recap :)

Great recap HG! I, too, thought the "Thanksgiving Dinner" was a fake...theres no way after going off to college for the first time that these families would let their kids not be at thanksgiving! It was so weird! Chrissy is on my last nerve...I don't think she could get more annoying and whoever commented last week that she put on some lb's is right...def gained the freshman 10-15. Clay seems genuinely sweet and I'm seriously wondering why after the first season of NH aired why he didn't get more play! Seems like Chase may finally get his with Kylie.

Is it just me, or does Billy remind anyone else of Oliver from The OC?

Yep, Chrissy let the show get to her head, I guess she became the big star at UC-B, so she thought she was too cool, the whole innocent act from season 1 went out the window, and I hate the way she treated clay. clay seems like a really nice guy, and if you see the next episode, you will know how good he really is. It takes one girl to ruin a good guy, and once clay realizes his full potential, ala how cute he is and how many really cute girls like him, he is going to become a playa.
I am so tired of Chrissy's voice, so annoying and grating, the over enunciating just irks me. And her new friend Kylie, who thinks she is some hot stuff, sheesh get over your self.
Only normal people on the show is Sasha and Clay. Also Allie's new house, wow, really nice, wonder what are parent's do.
okay done, carry on

I am also getting really sick of Chrissy. I liked her last season, but she is such a whiny brat now. She is really living in the moment, as in whichever boy is closer in proximity, she is more interested in..which is probably typical for an 18 year old college freshman. But it's not good enough for Clay!!
I thought it was so weird that all these kids were spending "Thanksgiving" away from their families too when they were just getting back from college (or In Chase's case, the apartment by the beach that Mom rented). I couldn't tell if they were staging Thanksgiving, or if Chrissy's mom had just ordered all the food in so that's why they kept beating it into our heads that she had slaved all day. It was a lame joke and i hope to never hear of it again.
I'm sure also that the old people (stand-ins for grandma?) they assembled for Chrissy's family's Thanksgiving were really on the edge of their seats as to Chase and Kylie's "tweener" status, or what was going on with that last R of Clay and Chrissy being OVER. I hope for their sake that their hearing aids were turned way DOWN.
Kylie is a two-bit whore. She has no redeeming qualities that I have seen yet, and I hope she was ready for that.
Great recap again, as always.

Oh, Honey Gangsta, your "Bye Bye Birdie" refernce cracked me up. Do they even still perform that play in high schools?
Great recap! And for anyone who cares, I don't know if you could tell from the low-key look of her house, but where Kylie lives (Coronado) is a super snobby island off of downtown San Diego that has a lot of old-style Craftsmen houses right near the bay or ocean.
