okay, now don't judge but....

I'm a reality show freak. seriously! I honestly can't think of 1 "scripted" TV show that I'm regularly following. when lunchtime chatter turns to, "hey, did you see the season opening of 'Grey's Anatomy'?" I feel myself fading to the background wondering if I should bring up what they thought of last night's episode of "Newport Harbor."

yeah, yeah, yeah....so I'm north of 30 and I found myself sucked into this season's MTV's "Newport Harbor" -- the replacement show for "Laguna Beach." when the season of "Newport Harbor" started several weeks ago, I was a bit skeptical. I had freakishly grown attached to the pretty people on "Laguna Beach"...even to the evil vixens. (did I mention that I saw cami at south coast plaza over the summer. she's much prettier and more petite in person than on tv, just fyi). anyways, I bring up "Newport Harbor" only because last night was the season finale and I'm lamenting....

first and foremost, are they going to have a season 2? and if they do, who are they going to focus on? boring, doormat taylor and her boyfriend/ex-boyfriend/then bf again, chase? aargh! hope not! so as not to get too salty about the thought of that, I quickly shift my thoughts over to the blossoming, young love of chrissy and clay (chrissy & clay 4ever!)

hmmm....will chrissy and clay be able to maintain a long-distance relationship? is she going to give it up to clay? OMG, did she finally? I mean seriously! if you're gonna give it up for the first time, why not do it with a deliciously handsome lad, like clay! come on! the guy carved their initials on the dock...with a heart around it. too sweet! back when I was in high school, they didn't make yummy high school boys that looked like clay! (I know, I know....call me "Mrs. Robinson"). then I wonder, clay or no clay, now that chrissy's away from home (read: away from her dad) for the first time and with no curfew, is she gonna go butt wild in college in some sort of rebellion-slash-late-bloomer kind of way? oh, but what about clay? yummy clay boy. unless...she rebels and goes wild WITH clay. now you're talking!

and I don't know about you, but did you get the sense that sasha was way more emotional about saying 'bye' to chrissy than chrissy was? just putting it out there.

oh, and what about at the very end, when chrissy got a call on her cell, glanced at the caller id and chose not to pick up. OMG, I had to rewind tivo to get a closer look to see who she was screening out. relief! it was her dad calling (I was afraid she was screening out clay boy!) smart girl!

all in all, that was it...the most climactic point of "Newport Harbor" for me. kinda sad, huh? not in a boo-boo-kitty kind of way. but sad that there wasn't any kind of cliff-hanger. maybe there won't be a season 2.

oh, well! good thing "The Hills" is still on and continues to get very, very juicy. down with heidi and spencer! go team LC!
