And it's over to Molly Brown Swimwear - cute name - where Chrissy has apparently come to the conclusion that of the 42 bikinis she owns not one of them will do for her parentless hot tub date with Clay. She and Sasha are on a mission to find a new one. Sasha wants to know if Chrissy has spilled the beans to Clay yet about being a virgin and Chrissy says that the opportunity hasn't really come up yet. Oh, you mean during your first three dates the brave and bold Clay didn't come out and ask if you were up for a roll in the hay? Chrissy wonders whether she should tell him and Sasha thinks yes. She also thinks that Clay will appreciate the fact that Chrissy is pure. Chrissy is not so sure and worries that guys might want a girl with experience. Next I think Sasha uses that word again from a couple of episodes back, "slew," or "sloot," or whatever. She says, "They don't like slewy girls who have been with a lot of guys." Kids today. I just can't keep up. What with their lingo and their crazy virginity - I can't follow.
"Pshh... you're so naïve."
Chase is on his phone once again, determined to get Taylor to pick up. This time she's wandering around loose without Alex to remind her that she's ignoring Chase so she answers. Chase suggests that Taylor come to his house tonight for dinner and talking. Taylor insists that she's still upset about everything, but Chase uses the logic that she can't be mad forever so she might as well come over. This blows Taylor's mind and she agrees. Oh gag. I hope he doesn't do something seductive like tell her she looks nice.
Over at Allie's house, it's Euro Showdown 2007. Her parents innocently ask what she plans to be doing this summer and she announces that she'll be in Europe. When her parents adopt the "not so fast" attitude she tells them it's all paid for as if that is the end of the discussion. When they continue to protest Allie gets all belligerent, saying that she's practically an adult and all her friends are going and their parents are letting them. Oh, well in that case... yeah right! My parents would have busted a gut laughing at me if I had concocted a scheme like this at age 17 - and then gone ahead and used their credit card to pay for it as well. I would have been shuttled between my home and a job the entire summer and spent the rest of the time staring at my bedroom walls. Allie's dad says that Allie thinks she knows what the world is like but she doesn't. True, she thought Rome was a country, for starters. She argues that she has more of a clue about the world than a lot of her friends. Number one - that's not saying a lot; Fatty knows nothing either. Number two - how does she figure? Because she's been to Palm Springs? That's not exactly international travel, sweetie.
"I am smart - I am!"
She yells at her dad that it's so messed up to be hesitating after he's already paid for the whole thing. Oh my gosh! He paid for the whole thing unknowingly! Now she'll never speak to them again if they ruin her senior trip. When her parents weakly attempt to tell her she's being disrespectful she snaps right back that they are the disrespectful ones and storms away. I hope that Art and Carolyn are happy with the monster they've created. This is what happens when you never say no to your children and let them run wild with your credit card. I guess it's not exactly Allie's fault that she's like this. Europe 2007!
A giggling Taylor arrives at Chase's house clearly ready to forgive and forget. Wow, all he had to do was invite her over. Chase has ordered pizza from BJ's (heh heh, subliminal message?) and also presents Taylor with a bunch of pink roses. Done and done!
"I'm so mad at you Chase."
Over dinner Chase says he was an idiot and he's sorry. Taylor says she's over it. They agree that they should leave the past in the past and start fresh for the summer. They even pinky swear on it. Ugh, Taylor honey, the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior so good luck with this one. Luckily you're an Orange County hottie and will have no trouble snatching up another guy once Chase is off to college... or massage school... or the hair academy.

These kids don't seem to be as promiscuous as Laguna kids. I think the innocence is cute. Not so much entertaining but cute.

This episode drove me nuts with the shady editing. Maybe I'm crazy, but I swear the phone Taylor was ignoring in her bedroom was a red razor...and then the phone she answered was not even close to a razor. Am I making things up?
Also, the hot tub editing drove me nuts. Chrissy saying she was a virgin was clearly a voiceover. Didn't she say it loud enough the first time? That annoyed me.
This show is not nearly as interesting as LB was - there just isn't enough drama for my liking. Or maybe it's because I don't like most of the people on this show.

Mrs. Meow -
I thought the same thing. The worst case of the editing was clearly Taylor's phone. Must be an MTV thing lately between this show and the Hills.

Well, the scene with grant and clay at the beach was cleary dubbed over! they weren't even moving their mouths when they were talking about chrissie's virginity! i still like the show though...i think it's as entertaining as LB, just more true to life.

I loved your comment about Clay sitting there with his big grin, chuckling about everything. That was perfect!
Daddy has definitely not been as ferocious with the cell phone of late. I really wonder if the MTV producers told him to knock it off as he was ruining their big storyline.
Art and Carolyn were terrible. Just as i would suspect, just seeing their spawn. I did laugh at Art when Allie told him if he ruined her senior trip, that she would never speak to him again and he was like "Promise??" but i do think he was just hamming it up for the cameras.
Very funny recap and I think you have G-Thing pegged. For as much advice as he gives, the most action he's gotten all season has been from that exercise bike at the after-prom party!

"So now regular courtesy is not to be expected as a given, but rewarded with intercourse?" I laughed so hard at that entire paragraph. So funny!
Great recap!

This show is sooooo boring! MTV should follow my nieces and her friends around. Of course they don't live by the beach and they are not nearly as rich as these kids, but let me tell you...
Just a tidbit: My niece (just graduated hs) has a best friend who, believes she is a pixie, is an aspiring actess, aspiring singer, and has a double personality. Just so happens that her boyfriend also has a double personality who tried to make out with my niece...not the actual boyfriend but his alternate self. My niece was very entertained and was actually surprised that he commited so well.
My niece's best friend also took the opportunity to performe an interpretive dance to an Evanessence song at her own birthday party. She wasn't deterred with the fact that some kids spit their drinks out.
So far this sort of material would make for hilarious TV. I prefer listening to her stories than watching this lame show. LB 1 and 2 can't be matched I guess.

Funny recap!
I can't stand Mayor G-Thing either. He's totally a Spencer in training.
And as far as Chrissy making it through high school a virgin, I grew up in Orange County and I only knew 1 or 2 girls who graduated as virgins. If you had a steady boyfriend for more than a month, it was pretty much assumed you'd be giving it up, and then go on to being a total ho with subsequent hookups and boyfriends since you all ready got your pesky virginity out of the way. Or maybe that was just the sluts I hung with.
Did they ever mention how long the trip to Europe was for? I don't even think my parents credit card would have had enough room on it to charge something like that. Allie's parent's only have themselves to blame so I can't feel sorry for them.

Hey guys!
As always, I LOVE reading your comments.
UglyCutie: Your comment had me rolling! You should write comments each week and give us a mini episode because you are totally right - your niece and her friends sound way more interesting and camera worthy than what we've seen lately.
SnackyCakes420: Thanks for the info about real-life OC kids. I guess I'm just a square. :)
See you all soon!
Much love,
-HG

One more episode and it's over! Does this mean the summer was so boring there was nothing worth airing?
Take away the money and these kids seemed to represent kids from just about anywhere in the US. It was also nice to see some parental involvement.
Anyone hear of a season 2 or another LB?
