MTV Mix – Volume 53

Features, Shows

Birthday parties, new relationships, saying goodbye, love triangles, angry people, and even more rapping occurred this past week. It’s still the usual mix, but we do lose one show this week. That means a change is going to come. But for now, lets mix things up a bit…

SHOW REVIEWS

MONDAY

The Hills

Brody is having his big birthday party in Las Vegas. For some reason, Lauren wants to surprise him by coming. Lo, Audrina, and Justin come along as well. Let the fun and awkwardness begin. Once they all arrive and meet up with Brody and his crew, Justin continues to play “outsider” to the group.

Meanwhile, Spencer and his stupid goat beard continue to fight with Heidi about the wedding details. Seriously, what the hell is on his chin? That is peach fuzz to the max! Anyways apparently their one year anniversary is coming up. She also has a job assignment due on the same night. Could be trouble.

Elodie is still pissed that Heidi got the job over her. She is now going to quit. Now she is just being a whiny, little girl. Girls sure do know how to hold a grudge. Remember that job assignment Heidi had. Well she tries to throw it onto Elodie. Elodie agrees. Huh? I thought she was quitting. Girls can be so “fake” sometimes. That conversation was ridiculous.

Time to party and Brody and Lauren get a little too close for me. Brody is 24, by the way. Brody says he doesn’t want drama. So since Spencer “thrives on drama”, he is going to separate himself from him. Justin continues to not talk to Lauren or Lo for some reason. Brody’s friend, Frankie, thinks Brody and Lauren should be a couple again since Spencer, Heidi, and Jason are all out of the picture. Lo and Audrina think that’s a good idea as well.

More scandalous behavior as Brody’s birthday party continues. Lo makes out with some guy. I think it might have been Frankie. Brody wants his birthday kiss and Lauren gives him one. Brody is doing that “stupid drunk smirking white boy pointing at girls” dance that I like to do myself. Hey, it works!

A little more drama before we leave this episode. Lo and Lauren tell Audrina that Justin won’t talk to them. She pulls the “Heidi card” and says she won’t talk to Justin, since that will make them happy. Audrina says she is done and Lauren leaves. And we didn’t really need that. Brody tries to “mediate things” and resolve the Audrina/Lauren conflict. I’m actually on Brody’s side here. They are NOT arguing, they are discussing. There is a difference Lauren! Enough with the kissing already, though!

Oh wait, the whole Elodie conversation made sense. It seems that she completely no-shows the event and burns Heidi. Heidi has to cut her dinner short and Spencer is not too happy. That was funny actually.

Life of Ryan

Ryan’s mom tells him and his brother that she is dating someone. His name is Bruce. She wants to introduce him to them. Ryan is still having a hard time with his dad having a new girlfriend. Now hearing that his mom has a new boyfriend. He doesn’t really like the idea of that, but he knows his mom has to move on as well.

Ryan then goes over and talks to Tony. He tries to straighten out the whole thing with him talking to Julia’s friend and him basically ruining any relationship Ryan and Julia might have had. Tony still doesn’t know what he is talking about.

Ryan meets his mom’s date and he seems pretty nice. But she returns home late from her date. Ryan yells at her for missing curfew. Now here comes the drama with Julia. Ryan likes to whine a lot. Julia says Ryan is mean and hangs up on him. That pisses Ryan off and he runs to his mom and wants to talk to her. When she can’t talk to him right then, he gets made at her. He finally does and basically he says he is done with Julia. Taylor, Ryan’s friend, thinks she is the type of girl that just wants attention. By the way, Ryan has A TON of Red Bull in his garage. Must be a sponser.

Ryan finally goes and talks to Julia about everything. Julia seems like nothing has happened. Ryan finally tells Julia that he doesn’t think it will work out. Julia seems fine by that. No hard feelings. Another one bites the dust! But it’s “bros before hoes”, right? Ryan goes and patches things with Tony. He says that Tony was right about everything. All is good now. Oh, and his mom gets flowers from Bruce the next day. Ryan likes that as well.

WEDNESDAY

The Real World: Sydney

Trisha is dumb. At least she is naive. She’s 19, but yet believes that she will be with her boyfriend back home, Jarod, for the rest of her life. Yet she still wants to “flirt” a.k.a. “be just friends” with other cute guys. Alex, an Aussie guy finds himself in a “triangle”. Trisha likes to hang out with him. Parisa also wants to hang out with him. Alex even writes Parisa a letter and Trisha a poem. He’s a “playa from down under”. Parisa believes she has the edge, since Trisha has a boyfriend.

Meanwhile, Cohutta and Kelly Anne continue their strange relationship. Two Aussie guys fight over Kelly Anne in a club. Cohutta comes to her aid. He drags her away and “saves her”. He says she needs a man, not a boy. He is also her knight in shiny armor and there will be a happy ending. Kelly gets a call from her friend from home and apparently her “on and off again” boyfriend was seen with another girl. That is a dumb move by her boyfriend! Maybe Kelly Anne will learn her lesson. That’s doubtful, though. Cohutta tries to talk sense into her.

Trisha gets even more juvenile. She invites more of her “Aussie friends” to try and make Alex jealous. That gives Parisa the chance to make out with Alex. Trisha continues to speak nothing but trash. She says girls are like dogs basically. When a dog pees on something that is their territory. When I girl hangs out with a guy first, that is her guy for as long as she wants him. Right, but Trisha is “hanging out” with every single guy she meets. She can’t have them all! Oh good lord, Shauvon agrees with Trisha. Must be the bleach in their hair.

Issac is always the voice of reason inside this house. He basically calls out Trisha. She has a boyfriend! HAHA! The two Aussie guys, Ky and Alex, say Shauvon and Trisha are like a 6 or 7 on the scale of 1-10! The girls are so drunk! Shauvon is pissed now. “Um, 6 is barely above average! How dare you!” That is basically want Shauvon said. Parisa laughs at Shauvon for why she got mad last night. IT DOESN’T MATTER! It seems Shauvon can’t understand that. By the way, though. On looks she could be a 9 or 10, but attitude like that marks her down a little bit. So that “ranking” might be accurate.

Issac says that Alex goes after any drunk girl. He says that he might even go after Cohutta if he got drunk enough! HA! Let the fighting begin! Alex makes out with Parisa AND Trisha! Shauvon pokes the fire and tells Parisa about Trisha and Alex. Parisa doesn’t seem to care that much since she makes out with Alex again. So they will save the real drama until next week. Someone may be going home! Yay!

Newport Beach: The Real Orange County

It’s time to say goodbye to this season of Newport Harbor a.k.a. Laguna Beach 4. Everyone prepares to leave Newport and go to college or at least move away from their parents. Clay tells Grant that he wants to try and make things work out, even though Chrissy is moving soon.

Allie tells Samantha that she will always consider Chase as the “guy that got away”. Apparently all girls have that one guy that could have worked out, but didn’t for various reasons. Very interesting. Chase has his own apartment now. He is staying in Newport. He says he won’t go back to any high school dances with Taylor, but then Taylor brings up the idea that she might have to go with some other guys then. The look on his face is priceless.

Chrissy first says her goodbyes to Sasha. They will stay best friends forever. Now it’s time for Clay. Clay gets all romantic and stuff. He tells Chrissy he carved their initials into the tree over at the bonfire. It will be there forever! Chase and Allie talk and Allie finally gives him their prom pictures. They hug goodbye and then they give each other “the look”. You know, the look of whether they should kiss or just look into each other’s eyes. They just look at each other. I know that look quite well actually.

More tears from Clay and Chrissy as they finish their final boat ride around the harbor. They kiss and wave goodbye. Allie says bye to her parents. She’s only going to Europe! But mom cries because she will come back and then have to leave again for college. Moms are never ready for their babies to leave. Now it’s Chrissy’s time to leave her parents and her dog. Basically just repeat what you just heard with Allie’s parents.

Clay is bummed, but Grant comes by in a boat with two girls and Taylor for some reason. That might cheer him up. Allie and Samantha leave us with some more “thoughts”. But it’s only fitting that we leave this season with Chrissy in the car thinking back to all that has happened. I like to call this the “Lauren montage”. Find out more about what happens to these kids after this episode on MTV.com, of course! Overall, this was a decent enough season. Still not as good as the first season of Laguna Beach, but it was better than the third season of Laguna Beach.

THURSDAY

Celebrity Rap Superstar

This week the “celebs” have to perform nothing but “fast rap” songs. Twista is a guest judge. He is the fastest rapper alive, by the way. So this will be tough. Here is a quick rundown of what happened on this episode:

– Shar Jackson raps “Overnight Celebrity”. She is definitely the favorite to win this whole thing. She dod quite well.

– Kendra Wilkinson raps “What’s Your Fantasy” by Ludacris. She goes the “sexy” route again. It’s a sex song and she is a school girl outfit. She runs out of breath, but shakes her ass around.

– Sebastian Back rap “B.O.B.” by Outkast. Not too bad actually.

– Perez Hilton rap “Still Not a Playa” by Big Pun. It was just okay. That’s probably why is going home this week! He also didn’t rap as fast as the other three. That hurt him as well.

– The final three is Shar, Sebastian, and Kendra. My money is still on Shar.

And that ends the 53th volume of the “MTV Mix”! If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or feedback of any kind..send them my way!!

I’ll see you next time when we mix things up a bit!

Sir Linksalot: Reality Television

I'm not embarrassed to say that my favorite television show of all-time is The O.C. I live by the motto "you can't fight fate!" More importantly, I watch WAY too much television, but I do so for the benefit of everyone reading this now. So to my mom and my wife, I say thanks for reading! To everyone else that might stumble across this, remember TiVo should be your best friend!
