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,

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?
