awesome recap as always. i'm starting to think b-side is a woman. (confirm of deny). i thought the link to the PEOPLE article was classic. also randomly, im getting more and more distracted and annoyed at how much LC plays with her hair.

I'm not actually a woman, but I think the generally emmasculating effects of watching this show in the first place may be taking a toll.

ok. When Heidi and Spencer were having lunch, I was entranced by all the teeth at that table. The teeth, man, so many teeth. So large and gnashing and....Whoever said Lauren has to stop with the hair is dead on. Is it a nervous habit? What is it? Besides annoying?

Spencer is a total tool. Yeah, I said it.

Maybe Lisa Love could swing by the apartment, stare at her with disdain, yawn, and then observe, "This relationship of yours -- it just simply is not the Teen Vogue way of doing things." She would then add, "Nevertheless, I still prefer you over Lauren. She'll always be the girl that didn't go to Paris."

I've been saying over and over that Broday and Spencer are jerks, here's the proof:

Great recap, but why the hate for Dido??

B-Side, why aren't you recapping the Amazing Race? Awesomeness can only dream of being as awesome as you...

Great recap, I laughed the whole way through. I feel bad for Lauren having been in that position myself, but sometimes you just have to say what you need to say and leave it at that. Heidi needs to learn for herself just like Lauren did. Everyone warned her about Jason and she still took him back so, she is kind of being a hypocrite.

I think the fact that Spencer claims he would come simply by having his neck licked explains AN AWFUL LOT

Lauren needs to let Heidi go. Maybe Heidi will wake up and realize how stupid she's being, but honestly, NOTHING Lauren says will change her opinion. And Lauren has to deal with consequences of being a good friend . . .she has to expect to be cut off because things will be awkward as long as Heidi is with the asshole.

If some of the Lisa Love disdain has rubbed off on Lauren I find that to be a good thing.
I'm starting to turn around on Spencer...this show needs a dirtbag to be interesting. If he was acting all saintly it would be boring. Bravo Spency, you know how to work those cameras.

Here's the original article about Brody and Spencer. They are both tools and major fame whores. Highlights include Spencer talking about wanting to videotape him and Heidi having sex and then posting it on the internet. What a charmer.

http://men.style.com/details/features/full?id=content_5346

This re-affirms why I think most boys suck.

oh my gosh. i'm so glad that someone posted the actual article from details. i had read the bit about spencer wanting to videotape himself and heidi and couldn't wait to see what b-side had to say about it. what a loser-how can heidi possibly read (and of course by read i mean have someone read to her) things like this and still be with this guy? but i guess if you think it's ok for your boyfriend to pimp you out for a magazine cover in your bikini, then taping you having sex isn't that much of a stretch. she might be too stupid for me to feel sorry for her...

B-Side, I love you.

From the moment I saw the first screen cap I knew this recap was going to be pure gold. I could not take my eyes off of the teeth on Spencer! Funny enough, that Details article supplied this little gem:

Pratt, also 23, and the son of a “celebrity dentist,”

You couldn't even make that kind of shit up!! Love it!

Spencer is such a f*cking little gnome. "Lick my neck and I'll come." Yeah that is what prepubescent girls in America who watch MTV need to see....Spence Dog's O face. Brody is the biggest himbo on television. He jocks girls for publicity....kinda like a whore. Lauren is doing her best to keep these creeps out of her life and her bff's vajayjay and all Heidi can do is stick her head up her own fat ass and be fooled by roses and slumber parties. But then again maybe Heidi is playing the Spence to get some free bridge work from Papa Spencer. I doubt Bolthouse has premium a dental package.

PS- Does Heidi's walk annoy anyone else? She walks like she has a potato chip up her ass and she is trying not to break it.

Does Heidi realize that Spencer makes her look retarded??? Not like that is a hard thing to do, but seriously, can she be that f'ing stupid?? Anyone with a gpa of 1.0 and higher can see this dude is scum. And to top it all off what does he have?? Good looks? Um that would be NO!! Talent?? No. Intelligence? Nay. Good personality? Ha!! Oh he has money...that explains it. Apparently his rich daddy is a "celebrity dentist" which would explain the ginormity of his goofy smile. Remind me NEVER to go to a "celebrity dentist" or I'll end up looking like the Cheshire Cat on acid.

Heidi you look REALLY REALLY....well......moronic.....dim-witted.....asinine.....and weak minded!!

And kudos to Lauren for finally gaining a back bone!!

At the end of the show when they were showing Lauren in school (looking thoroughly bored by the way), was her teacher one of the contestants from Project Runway? I think Season 2?

Another fabu recap! My whole day was thrown off yesterday without it.

Did anyone notice in the previews for next week Lauren says that Jen can't get on Brody because she used to date him? Funny that Lauren's little sister and mother believe that once a relationship is over, the boy is fair game.

Thank you, B-Side. You magician, you. Four points:

(1) When Spencer made that "lick my neck and I'll ****" comment, it was pretty obvious that he had said "come," but had to rewind several times anyway because our brains REFUSED to compute that an actual person would drop that line.

(2) Has anyone else noted the vein/tendon/artery/other that is literally straining out of Spencer's neck in every scene? Don't know what to make of it, but he may want to switch to decaf with his muscle breakfasts.

(3) MTV cameras, bring us into Spencer's apartment. Must see it!

(4) Yes, Heidi's walk has become ridiculous. You're not on a runway, m'dear.

ok - I think that when Lauren was comparing Jason to Spencer, Heidi was wrong. She said that it's different with Spencer - implying that Spencer is a better guy than Jason. However, I think - and I may be totally wrong about this - that Jason actually did care about Lauren. Maybe he cared in a strangely-obsessive, jealous, coked up way, but I still think their relationship was legit. I don't think he just wanted to be on camera. Maybe I'm wrong, but he seemed to be, for the most part, genuine. Spencer, on the other hand, does not seem to care at all about Heidi. He CLEARLY just wants to be on MTV. He's a fame-whore & I doubt he truly cares about her. She thinks he cares more about her than Jason did about Lauren, but I think it's the opposite. - Anyway, that's just my opinion.

Also, I want to know what happened to Bella??? - And where did that cat come from???

One more thing, - I cannot WAIT for next week. If Brody and tantastic Jen hook up, I think I might vomit. She's gross & if she does hook up with him, she's a total hypocrite - I just don't like that girl - WHERE'S LO WHEN YOU NEED HER???

B-side,
Is it tiring to rule so hard? You are abnormally hilarious. Gotta love the random Sabrina/Kelly and "I love to dooonce!" Nicole Kidman commercials. Too funny. Heidi is an idiot but Lauren needs to chillax. Friends are stupid and will date stupid guys. Nothing you can do about it but voice your opinion in a non-psycho way. These people need to read a book and stay home sometimes. But I guess if you had a camera crew following you around, you would feel obligated to be dramatic. You couldn't just go home and eat Ramen noodles and watch TV all night. You'd have to go to Area and cry about your emotions. Spencer is the embodiment of "tool." Oh wait, I forgot, according to him it is forbidden to call someone a tool "in this town."

I think the fact that Spencer claims he would come simply by having his neck licked explains AN AWFUL LOT

Thank you to the person who posted the details interview - Spencer is such a douche. Wanting to sell a sex tape? What kind of girl dates a guy like that?


I can see where Lauren is coming from - she knew it put her in a bad spot to tell her friend the truth, but at least she put herself out there for it.


I swear I saw the dog in the first episode. Heidi walked in the door to their apt. and there was something bouncing on the floor - she made a happy face and then started talking to Lauren. I remember thinking, "Well, at least she didn't get rid of the dog." Anyone else catch that? I could be crazy...

You're right, Mrs. Meow - I do remember Heidi saying that & I even think she said "Hi Bella" - I guess we'll never know what happened to that dog!....................

Spencer is a classic manipulator.

-Goes behind his girl's back to hit on other girls, but never does anything physical so it can't technically be called cheating
-Uses flowers, dinners, and "slumber parties" to show his affection instead of just not being a general asshole
-Enlisting his comrades to distract his girl's friends while he seduces
-Separates his girl from her friends who might be warning her, by playing them off each other
-Acting as if anyone who tells his girl differently is a liar, crazy, or jealous of their love

anybody else notice:
laurens hair looks horrible.a greasy mess.
heide walks with a runway strut at all times now.
spencer looks like mr potato-head

Was it just me or when they were at the club when Lauren and Spencer had that fight....were they all wearing the same thing as the night that Heidi surprised Spencer becuase she missed her plane??? I swear, i bet that was the same night!!!

Thank you to the person who posted the details interview - Spencer is such a douche. Wanting to sell a sex tape? What kind of girl dates a guy like that?

Oh, thank God - I thought I was losing my mind when that cat showed up and I "couldn't remember" where it had come from. Obviously it wasn't just me.

I have to hand it to Lauren - she's obviously seen the light in terms of what Jason put her through and the kind of guy he was all along, and she wasn't afraid to look like the bad guy and tell Heidi what an idiot she was for taking Spencer back. *That's* a good friend.

As for Heidi, where did that WALK of hers come from??? I've only noticed it the last two episodes. Did Spencer tell her to "walk 'sexy'"? She looks ridiculous.

To borrow a quip from Bad Girl Aimee: These two make a perfect couple because they are both retarded.

my thai,

that comment is absolutely perfect.

Spencer doesn't have a forehead. THAT's A FIVE-HEAD!

He'd show up at one of those Dateline "To Catch a Preditor" kiddie sex stings if it would get him more air time.

Heidi gave her dog, Bella, away to a friend because she wasn't home enough to take care of her and she thought it wasn't fair to the dog. Mystery solved!!

Thanks for clearing that up Mrs. Condrad! I was wondering what happened to Bella.

Hi Mrs. Conrad! =D
Do you think Spencer is better or worse than Jason?

Lauren is a crazed dramatic loser. Sure Spencer is a jerk. She lives in LA! She needs to acting like someone shot both her parents!

Moodylupin: spencer is WAY worse than jason. there was something amusing about jason perpetually being as a kite and having that devil-may-care attitude toward LC. Its pretty excrutiating to watch spencer try to be all kissy-face with heidi

k-conrad: sounds like a plausible story, but just curious - how do you know?

donantonio: did the lovebirds ever attend said restaurant for valentines day? still dying to know! wonder if he bleeped in his pants when he put the first nacho into his big toothy maw

Yep, lovedoctor, i think so to.
All about Spencer is fabricated, forced and with hidden intentions flying all over.

I was wondering what were K Conrad thoughts on Jason's and Spencer's SUCKINESS.

Ha, lovedoctor! Hard to say what went down with them on Valentine's Day. Those cameras seem to be annoyingly selective about where/when they follow (hey, MTV - follow Spencer to work one Monday morning)! Actually, I'm sure that nothing happened on V-Day, since that "relationship" seems so staged. And I mean all of it. To use a B-sideism, I'm calling shenanigans.

Speaking of which, just read that men.style link above, and there's more than a bit to chew on there. Not sure I digested it correctly, but some random 24 year old guy is financing Brody and (some of) Spencer's lifestyles? Umh, WHAT?

Good for Lauren for standing up to that squid Spencer. Next time he gives you some mouth, punch him him right in his teeth LC. He would crumble up in the fetal position like the little girl that he is.

For those who don't read the Laguna Beach recaps...

K Conrad = the real Mrs. Conrad :)

When Audrina was with that guy Clint, did anyone else, for a second, think that the t.v. screen said CUNT? Just the way the L and the I were together, it looked like it. Made me laugh, anyway.

I was on TEAM LAUREN all the way this episode!

I totally squealed, "Nick!" when he came on the screen. It's definitely the best reality TV crossover ever. And, the most distracting cameo since the Sabrina/Kelly commercial.

Oh, how I miss 8th & Ocean....

You owe me a new monitor, mine was ruined when I sprayed Diet Coke all over it (I'm not even kidding!)after reading this delightful little sentence:

"While Whit and Lauren babbled away, we found Heidi and Spencer walking the sunny streets of Los Angeles, letting the wind blissfully whistle through their ears."

Best one, ever. bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

BTW, why is Lauren's hair so greasy?

Heidi walked like she had a corn cob shoved up her ass in this episode.

Actually, the cat made it's first appearance in the same episode with Bella (before she went to go live on a "farm"). Lauren's cat looks a lot like mine, albeit fancier, so I took notice.

Great re-cap B-Side!

Lauren- The night when Heidi surprised Spencer at the club after "missing her plane" was not the same night as last episode's night where Spencer and Lauren fought, Lauren's hair was crimped in tight almost perfect little waves the night of the surprise, in the last episode Lauren wore her hair in softer waves. Yes I remembered these insignificant details! lol

After reading the Details article, I have to say it disappoints me to know Brody is such a jerk too.. I was hoping maybe he wasn't so bad, it was wishful thinking because he's cute and *seemed* sweet (yet cheesy). But uggh Spencer is such a pig! Well they both are.

QueenV - thanks for posting the Details article.
Well, dang they really put their intentions out there, and people are still trying to hook up with these people...so sad. I don't get it.

I couldn't believe how Brody was actually trying to guilt Lauren into thinking she was a bad guy. There's another warning flag for you Lauren about Brody. If he's defending a slime ball (for lack of a more witty word) like that you gotta wonder what his double standards are.
And another reason, amongst all other obvious ones, of why I don't like Spencer is that he's a manipulator and a slick-talking bully. What's with the, "We are so making peace, right now!" Like he's trying to tell her what to do. I was glad Lauren stood up to him, but wish she could've been more harsh and just embarrassed his ass.

Yes! I finally get to comment on B-Side's recaps! They're the best btw ;) As I'm England, we get all MTV shows centuries after they aired in America so I come on here to catch up with my faves.
This episode was just so intense and after watching it(downloaded of course bah), it made me like Lauren 100x more. Who said that chick didnt have a backbone? I love that she stood up to spencer and didn't try to mince her words when she was talking to him and that she also let Heidi know what she truly thought of her dumb relationship with the dentist's son. Spencer is making Heidi look dumb beyond belief.

B-Side your re caps are the best. Yes I too miss 8th and Ocean soo....

I think Lauren did the right thing about telling Heidi that Spencer is such a jerk. However, she should have left it at that. Spencer is trying to twist her words and make it look like Lauren is the bad guy now. He's a total creep and eventually Heidi will realize that.

Can't wait for more next week!

I can barely stand to watch when Spencer is on the screen; he has helmet-hair and a frying-pan face. He makes me want to rinse my eyeballs in acid.

I thought most famewhores were just dumb, but Spencer seems to be dumb AND devious. Is that possible?

And finally, hooray for the return of Lauren's backbone and the return of K Conrad to the comments section!

I agree completely with the poster noting that Jason actually cared about Lauren and the difference between him and Spencer. Spencer is truly vile. VILE. I also don't get it. Why does a very pretty girl like Heidi put up with this? I could see if it was Brody, he's at least handsome. Spencer, on the other hand, is ugly, bordering on funny looking. And that voice! Good god, it's grating. He's also so repulsively slimey, I don't know how Heidi keeps a straight face.

Brody, too, is slimey/cheesy. At least Lauren called him on it. They both ooze out these ridiculously insincere compliments,'Hi beautiful'..ugh.

After reading the Details article I'm sick to my stomach.

Spencer & Brody = Slime

Maybe Spencer isn't playing Heidi at all. Maybe she is in on the whole thing, sex tape and all. Perhaps they are 2 conniving, shady LA tool soulmates! After all, there's someone for everyone. She wants to extend her fame and he will help her, so maybe she's not as innocent/naieve (sp?) as everyone thinks.

Didn't we learn from Laguna that the cast doesn't get to watch the show until a few days before it airs?

Can you imagine being Heidi, sitting with Spencer watching this episode?
In the same night club & he's on the other side of the room telling someone else how she can make him "oh you know"?
**not sure of the average age of TVgasm posters**

He has sold her a bill of goods; he's going to make her famous & she bought it.
She's going to put up all his nonesense because she is laboring under the delusion that he's some kind of Hollywood player.

And Lauren had to learn the hard way that it doesn't pay to get between a girl and her man. At least she has a clear conscience. Given all the proof that Heidi had already been presented with and ignored, LC was just wasting her breath and sadly it probably cost her a good friend.
