The Top Five Moments of 'Laguna Beach' Season 3

151916__laguna_l After plenty of hook ups, breakups, catfights and cliques, it's time to say goodbye to another season of our favorite (or is it just my favorite?) guilty pleasure, Laguna Beach. So in honor of Wednesday's season finale, here's a look back at top five moments of Season 3:

1. Cabo, Cabo, Cabo! Or should we say: Slut! Slut! Slut!
It wouldn't be a proper season of Laguna if we didn't get a chance to witness someone be called the s-word in Cabo. Only this time, it was hard to keep track of how many times the word was actually thrown around. First Kyndra's ex-boyfriend (emphasis on ex), Tyler (who shouldn't have been on spring break with high school kids in the first place), shouts at her, 'You're a f---ing slut!'' when he sees her all over Cameron. Kyndra, of course, gets mad, so she gets back at Tyler by, well, getting back together with him! Fast forward to night two in Mexico: Tyler is making out on the dance floor with a random girl, and then -- shocker! -- Kyndra does the name calling. People, people, when are we going to learn to progress past the eighth grade?

2. The bonfire turns cold
I'm still kind of shocked by the way the boys treated the girls in the beachside-bonfire episode. First, we saw Derek almost entirely ignore Tessa, which she of course agonized over (yet still pined for him in future episodes). Then, we watched as Alex turned into a an even bigger jerk than Derek. He publicly broke up with Rocky, then turned around, walked back over to the bonfire, went straight up to Lexie and Tara and asked them both for their numbers! I think Alex was taking the saying, "Strike while the iron is hot" a little too literally; he could've at least waited till after Rocky was gone to hit on other girls.

3. Jessica comes back for more
Oh, Jessica, were two seasons on Laguna not enough for you? Or did you not get enough action from immature boys while you were still in high school? Like most of you, I wasn't that surprised to see Jessica back for Season 3, mostly because she obviously loves the drama. It was a little pathetic, though, for her to believe that Cameron (who's a junior!) would actually be a loyal, committed boyfriend. My favorite Jessica moment: the conversation about said boyfriend between her and her mom over lunch when her mom asks, ''Didn't you learn anything from Kristin?'' So true, Mama Jessica, so true!

4. A discussion about foie gras
Remember when Kelan and Chase took Lexie and her friend Tara out for a "pimper dinner"? I certainly do, and it's only because of this exchange:

Tara: Your dad told me to get the far-guar.

Lexie: My dad?

Tara: And then he told me what it was, and I was like...

Lexie (correcting her, incorrectly): Fuar-gar.

Tara: Far-guar is duck liver.

Lexie: I used to love it.

Tara: Do you still like it?

Lexie: No.

Tara: It's duck liver!

5. Chase and Kelan's band, Open Air Stereo, sign with Epic Records
Did anyone else's mouth drop when they heard this news, too? It seems a little ridiculous that a local high school band would get signed with one of the top record labels in the country instead of an indie one. Did MTV have something to do with the connection? I'm going to go with: yes. Is there even a contract or was the scene where Chase gets the phone call staged? (I still think the whole thing where The Hills' Lauren Conrad gets offered an internship for Vogue in Paris is entirely bogus!). Lest we forget, Chase was a junior when he shot this season of Laguna, so should we assume he just drops out of school to pursue his rock star dreams? So many questions, so little answers! In any case, Open Air Stereo, we're hoping to hear the truth soon.

Ceballos Wed, Nov 15, 2006 at 05:35 PM EST

Are you seriously questioning whether MTV had a little something to do with Open Air Stereo getting signed to Epic??!! Also, are you suggesting the phone call where Chase finds out was staged??

Two words: Ya Think????!!!!

Bring back Kristin. She was the best!

I can't help it I completely enjoyed this season. Totally agree with all the choices. My most memorable moment being Alex's break-up w/ Rocky. So brutal. The dinner date w/ Lexie and Kelan. He had a huge crush on her, has a chance to impress her and fails miserably. Maybe now that he's a rock star he'll get some girls. Other memorable moments -- anything w/ Tessa mooning over a boy and wanting to "talk" with them. Stop being a doormat Tessa and go after Chase already before groupies get their hands on him! Then there's all the mean girl action, which was primo. Kendra and Cami going on about "their boys" -- kendra you are home-schooled for god's sake and Cami well, what can you about her except she wins a mean girl prize. Maybe it's the way the show is put together but she was such a b****! You gotta love her zingers though. this is one girl I wish I could see in 10 years to see what happens to her. BTW wouldn't it be great if MTV filmed the 10 year reunions of all these yahoos?
