'The O.C.': Get the trustafarian off our screens

First, I wonder if pet stores across the nation are experiencing inflated sales of overweight bunnies? This would make hard-hitting news. Must add this to "possible exposés" Stickies.
Oh, Che (Chris Pratt, pictured). I've never liked him, despite what I consider to be an attractive amount of scruff. And now he's gone and gotten Summer kicked out of Brown by Dean Mullet. This was only acceptable for two reasons. 1) When Summer plunked down on her bed while packing up her dorm room, the requisite Cool Song of the Scene's lyrics were along the lines of "Summer, sitting down." Only The O.C. can do this with impunity. Sort of. 2) Summer's now back in Newport, where it's so not cool to go to college. She should fit right in at the sorority house that used to be her own.
Leading the sisters? Kaitlin Cooper. Kaitlin is REAL BAD, and don't you forget it. That twitty little Harbor it-girl, apparently in the running to become the Next Real Housewife of Orange County, didn't stand a chance. I'm still in shock that we finally came face-to-face with Actual Water Polo on this show. Is nothing sacred? Anyway, Kaitlin had a blowout, and in keeping with the times, the bikinis and jean skirts of the stock O.C.-teens-behaving-badly footage were replaced by... LEGGINGS. Agh! They won't go away! I dug how nonchalantly Katilin informed Housewife's boyfriend, "Sweatheart, you're so gay," and then he stepped out of the closet and immediately hooked up with a guy. Ryan found the pair in Summer's bed (ew!) and told them to "carry on." We knew he didn't mean "keep up the good work in your fashion design" because Ryan didn't sing the phrase in three different notes.
Then it was back into the closet for... Taylor's chance to use Ryan's body "like a jungle gym"! Hey, this is actually working. They can mess around now and put off the soul-searching Marissa crap for later, or never. Taylor's Tawny Kitaen-esque turn in Ryan's decidedly pedestrian fantasies were funny but should have lasted longer, and I would have loved to see Ryan go all extra-cheesy '80s in them himself. There's always next week... which may not be the case for the rest of the season. Speaking of which, how do you think next week's It's A Wonderful Life Chrismukkah episode looks? Please tell me the gaunt figure with dramatically face-shrouding wavy hair extensions won't be Mischa....
