The second season of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County is when things really start to heat up. The innocent, soft narration of L.C. (Lauren Conrad) is replaced by the sharp, tough story telling of Kristin Cavallari. Kristin is now in charge, and she is visibly excited at being the one in charge after waiting in the shadows of the previous senior year. I must say, after the only partially eventful first season, things really heat up in the second season, and Kristin is one of the main reasons for that. Lauren Conrad is pretty, sensitive and polite, a very pleasant narrator and main character, but she doesn't have that evil eye that makes Kristin oh so entertaining.
Another exciting event of the second season is the addition of Jason Wahler, boyfriend of Jessica, but serial cheat and bad boy of Laguna Beach. No wonder he's a ladies man. No longer is Kristin's love life the main focus; it shares a lot of the screen time with Jason's misadventures and Jessica's worrisome ways.
LC comes back from San Francisco because she doesn't like school there, and she is glad to see Stephen when he comes back for the holidays, and equally upset when he leaves. She feels somewhat left out and slightly despondent at dropping out. It's really not nice to see that she has been left behind, but not too entertaining either. I mean, that type of event is too much like real life, and we don't like that, right?
No, we prefer the exciting love triangles between Taylor, Talan and Kristin, or the neverending cheating of Jason and the sheer number of girls who swoon in his mere presence. A new girl, Casey, who looks distinctly like Barbie and whom nobody really trusts. I think she is a nice enough girl but generally there is not much going on in her head; I don't think there is any malice about her as the girls in Laguna Beach seem to think. And when Alex M beats Jessica to asking her own boyfriend (Jason) to the winter formal, the seething jealousy reaches a new high.
There are a lot more episodes in season 2 of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. It's really difficult to summarize everything that happens, especially since the plots are more complex than in season 1 - and this is certainly a very good thing. I like the 'ping-pong' nature of the drama in season 2 - it's almost neverending, fast paced and high energy. But also, the season is not afraid to slow it down where appropriate, and these 'sad' moments such as when Stephen tries to ask Kristin to rekindle their romance over fireworks, and he gets hit with the 'just friends' card, you can't help but feel for him. Contrast this with the sheer power and magic Jason has over all the girls he seems to come across, and you have a really engaging programme.
Season 2 is truly the peak of Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, and that's why it gets a fine nine out of ten from me. This series was the moment when MTV realised the potential of similar reality television programmes, and programmes like Newport Harbor and far more notably, The Hills, were born. And at six long seasons, The Hills turned out to be a modern classic.
