Newport Harbor is BACK, Baby!

OK, so I know you were waiting for it. Newport Harbor is back with 4 episodes entitled "Back for the Holidays" As I have said before, I am a HUGE pop culture fan and MTV helps quench my thirst. I loved the first season of Laguna Beach:The Real Orange County and I was extremely disappointed with season 2 and season 3 NEVER happened, kind of like Godfather Part 3. I also love The Hills, but Newport Harbor:The Real Orange County is totally fantastic. Better than Laguna Beach 2 and probably better than LB:1. So, with last night's debut of Season 2 or Season 1-continuation. I thought I'd give my thoughts......

(The Bride-to-be and I were trying to figure out just WHICH holiday they were back for. She said maybe Labor Day and that would make sense since she told her dad she had JUST had her first sorostitute party.)

But anyways, in the opening, Chrissy said that as a senior Grant was ruling the school. Ummmm YEAH! Well duh. Who is his competition? The wordsmith that is Clay?

So Chrissy is in Sigma Lamda Upsilon Tau apparently at UCSB. She is hooking up with Billy who is trailing Clay in the looks department, but if he can string together a paragraph's worth of thought, he has clay beat hands down. Chrissy meanwhile can't wait to see Sasha and have her party.

Meanwhile apparently Allie and the fat chick are back from the state of Italy, and they are in school "just far enough away from home that you know [they] are away, but close enough to be near home." Huh? They both discuss how much they miss home, and the fat chick says she misses her favorite restaurants apparently. Though they both love college. The fat chick loves the dinning hall the most.

Meanwhile back to Clay and Chrissy, Clay "heard that she is coming home." So I guess the long distance thing isn't really working....why, because maybe you need to TALK to each other in order for it to work.

So they have dinner together and it is obvie that neither wants to stay in the relationship and Chrissy is too much of a puss to tell Clay she is hooking up with some one not NEARLY as good looking, but he does possess the ability to speak.

Then Chrissy has a party and he sorwhore sisters show up and they have a surprise, Billy doing his best Justin Bobby impression. (What is with the thin hood that makes you look like you are homeless? I didn't realize the dere-lict campaign was REALLY happening in LA?) Billy, you KNOW you are going to meet the father of the chick you are banging, maybe you try and NOT look homeless? Maybe?

Well Grant is there and he is awesome, clearly making fun of this Billy character right in front of him, clearly solidifying his status as Nicky Fisk-level cool in my book. (Nicky Fisk of Beautiful People fame)
Well we see Chrissy is clearly over Clay and next week it looks like the Grant-and-Clay-Roadshow will head up to Santa Barbara for a pop-in. Clay is going to see Chrissy, Grant is clearly going to bang women. NICE.

So my overall impression..................
Chrissy is a typical Sor-Whore, but with a soft spot for homeless guys that can finish their thoughts.
Clay is still a brain-dead good looking guy, but his head, just a fancy hatrack.
Allie-still hanging out with the fat chick to boost her self-esteem, so Daddy issues there.
Chase-hooking up with Chrissy's siss-ah and still trying to nail that now-junior chick. that makes him 18 or 19 and her 16 or 17? yeouch. Pedophile party of Chase.
Grant....still awesome. he has reached Nicky Fisk status.
