Ryan/Taylor...none of their scenes were forced or anything, everything they did was soooo them

I like Taylor more and more with each episode. Everything she says or does cracks me up! I loved her scene with Kaitlin (it was actually the few time I did NOT find Kaitlin annoying)...when she squeeled when Kaitlin told he she has a great butt... Taylor never experienced any real crushes or "boy problems" before, and to see her so clueless is halarious!

SO any thought's on the epsiode yet??

[dancer150]

I saw 30 seconds. Ironically they were the last 1 second of the heartbreak scene and the "Easy Girl" scene with the Cohens, Hilarious!

I loved this episode....and i really am routing for Taylor and Ryan they both deserve something good...and I think they will be good for each other....

and Ryan is soooo a butt man...lol

can't wait to see this ep, when it shows in Australia tuesday

[tifa_look_alike]

omg I love this episode.

I wanna married this episode and have peaches addictive children with it...

I loved the Taylor/Kaitlin bonding moment. I thought it was hilarious that Taylor was getting dating advice from a 15 year old but it definitely works. And the Ryan/Taylor stuff?

I HATE Che. I didn't really care about him either way before, he just kind of bounced back and forth between being annoying and amusing but what he did to Summer? HATE him. WTF? He just implicated her in ALL of the things that HE did and most likely got her kicked out of Brown and showed absolutely no remorse for it. You big freak. Most of your activist causes are pointless and inane and you just sacrificed the future of your friend for the "movement"? Summer should seriously never speak to this guy again.

Why do I have the feeling that NewMatch getting funding from this Bullit dude is going to backfire majorly on Kirsten and Julie? The guy did time for tax evasion and all Sandy can say is "Well, he's out now"? He seriously wants this guy in on his wife's business?

i'm totally loving taylor/ryan ...i hope they don't mess it up...

i'm a forever fan of seth/summer but i wish they can have better storyline...

sad to say but the oc is loosing me a little...i'm still gonna watch though...hopefully the chrismukkah epi is good

I love Seth and Summer. Their phone call at the end and the fact that they talked for over 2 hours, made up for the lack of S/S. Summer was clearly on Seth's mind most of the episode. Then the ILY's! I them!

[Emma718]

the chrismukkah eppy's are the best..Seth makes them rock

[Hot Like Fire]

Ryan and Taylor are the reason I watch the show these days

Neko--I'm with you on the love of that Kaitlin/Taylor scene. It was funny and just adorable.

The Ryan/Taylor storyline is just funny, and really entertaining. Taylor had this great combination of shyness and assertiveness that was just way too much fun to watch.

I can't tell what is going on with The Bullitt, but I'll go with it for right now. Julie needs something to do, really.

The SS phone call at the end was really sweet, and I like that they are trying to give each other space and still want to talk to each other.

I can't tell how I really feel about Che now. I mean, it was dumb to sell Summer out to the Deans, and I can't tell why he really did it, except to save his butt.

[MuS!C JuNk!E]

what a great episode!
-Ryan/Taylor were simply amazing and the kiss 'woah'.
-SS were also adorable. I was so shocked with Che, wtf?? how could he do that??
-I didn't like Seth being anti-RT in the beginning, I think that was the first time I didn't LOVE him!
he seemed somewhat jealous of Taylor but he made up for that in the end so I still love him
-Julie and Kaitlin are so adorable, they make such a great team.
