ocean8-1-06f.jpgTired of B-side and all his Hills silliness? No? Yeah, me either. So for those people that can't get enough of contrived, pseudo-Real World-y, romantically-angled reality shows, we have One Ocean View, a reality show starring twentysomethings that all have somewhat impressive jobs, yet still manage to act stupider than Coral and the Miz combined. Sure, it's full of contrived situations and has all the reality of Wrestlemania, but these are the dog days of August. Summer and bad reality TV are as American as apple pie and porn. So sit back and let the soothing sounds of summer take you to a place called Fire Island. A place where if this show is any indication, no gay people ever set foot. A place where up and coming New Yorkers take weekend breaks in a fantastic beach house, stop being polite, and start getting real. Or something like that.

The show starts by introducing us to our erstwhile hosts, the sassy twins with the organic pizza bar in NYC, Miki and Radha. Miki is our stilted narrator. Here's just a taste: "My name's Miki, and no, you're not seeing double. That's my twin sister Radha". That is an exact quote, which pretty much also makes Miki the most awkward narrator EVER. Hell's Kitchen guy can just pack it in.

Miki continues her uncomfortable introductions. Miki has come up with a great idea for the summer. A beach house to share on the weekends away from the city. The whole "and bring a giant film crew from ABC with us to tape our exaggerated reactions to every situation" was more implied. And what better spot to get away for the weekends than Fire Island, a neighborhood that will soon grow to hate these people with a passion just as we start to fall in love with them!

First up Miki tells us about Mary, who designs handbags. Miki thinks she's a "Cool chick, but she's had her heart broken recently." What better way to put your life back together than on ABC Mondays at 10? Then there's K.J.. Miki says he's "intense. But one of the sweetest guys you'll ever meet." I've always wondered what sweetness would be like if it was highly intensified. Now I'll find out! John is funny and a "total catch." And then there's Usman. He's like, totally into himself and stuff. But Miki thinks there's something else deep down beneath the mousse and cologne. Miki describes Lisa as the shy one "but He-lloo! Look at that body!" Yeah well according to the ABC website she's a stripper, oh wait, I mean "exotic dancer" so how shy exactly can she be? All it takes is a few crumpled up dollar bills. The couple to watch however is Zack and Lauren. They were together, but now they say they are just friends. "Yeah right" Miki says. Wow, narrator burn!

ocean8-1-06a.jpgMiki and Rhada are the first to arrive at the new swinging singles pad on Fire Island. Then we cut to the waterfront where KJ and Mary have just gotten off the boat and are introducing themselves. When TJ asks where she lives Mary informs her that she's "bicoastal". She like totally lives in New York and LA. This being a reality show it doesn't take long before the awkward questions about each other's love lives comes up. Both KJ and Mary are coming out of long term relationships. As they talk, they both laugh that awkward laugh that means "I want to see you naked." At least that's how I interpret the laugh. The CT state Supreme Court judge told me differently. But what does he know about love, dammit!?
