This week's episode starts out differently than most - with Chrissy and Sasha talking about Clay! Wait, no that's exactly how every single episode starts. Have the editors gotten so bored with these kids that they have just resorted to cookie cutter episodes, dropping in footage under prearranged headings? Sheesh, if they're bored, they should have pity on the audience and how we must feel. Anyway, Sasha wonders if Chrissy will miss Clay when she goes away to college and Chrissy wishes they could have started up their romance six months to a year earlier than they did. Yes honey, but there were no cameras at that point in time, so no reason on earth for you two to acknowledge one another's existence. Ah the dreaded double-edged sword of starring in reality television.

"Hm, we'll talk about this some more
at the beginning of next week's episode."

Later Allie, Fatty and some girl named Brianna go shopping and anticipate Europe 2007. Allie still hasn't received total permission from Art and Carolyn so the girls try to help with her campaign. Fatty suggests "catching more flies with vinegar..." no, that's not it. "You catch more honey if the bees..." no, wrong again. Here it is! "You catch more bees with honey than with vinegar." Ugh, Fatty. The saying goes, "You catch more FLIES with honey than with vinegar." Why would you want to catch bees? Okay, so why would you want to catch flies either?

"I SHALL remember my idiom!"

Anyway, I guess Art and Carolyn are the flies, or in Fatty's version the bees, and Allie is supposed to be honey and abandon the vinegar act from last week's showdown. She implores the girls to hold a prayer vigil for the soldiers in the Middle East. Yeah right! The prayer vigil is for her precious little butt to be granted permission to spend her parents' money in Europe. Sorry soldiers, there are more pressing matters at hand today. Hang in there, though!

Now we move to our next cookie cutter scene, which is Mayor G-Thing pestering Clay at the beach about his relationship status. First though, he and Misspelled Jasen make cat calls at some sunbathing girls who become my new heroes by completely ignoring them. Hooray for the Newport Beach hotties who could care less about the camera crew!

Who's not such hot stuff anymore?

So after the Big Blow Off, Mayor G-Thing and Jasen taunt Clay about his hot tub date with Chrissy and want to know if he "sealed the deal" so to speak. Clay for once acts like he has a pair and tells them to worry about their own non-existent relationships. Hear, hear! Just as the boys prepare to resume their geriatric beach sport of horseshoes or whatever they're doing, Misspelled Jasen comes up behind Mayor G-Thing and rips his legs out from under him, sending him face first into the sand. Sweet! I'm really liking watching Mayor G-Thing getting pounded in this scene. He just can't catch a break. What a doofus.

"Dude, I totally planned that."

Elsewhere in The Harbor, Allie comes out onto her balcony to approach Daddy Bee and apologize for being vinegar in that disgraceful scene of last week. Daddy Bee explains that he knows Allie really wants to go to Europe, but that he and Mommy Bee are worried for her safety. Allie rationalizes that she and her friends have to face the world at some point, and besides, she didn't ask for a senior present or anything!

"But I'm being nice this time!"
