<p>I'll occasionally watch it just because I like sitting there and making fun of the shallow characters (Marissa is a joke--whenever she brings out her flask I have to control the urge to laugh) and usually lame storylines. I used to think that the show was a satire on the rich (I mean, how could it not be?), but I guess it's not. Also, I've been in Orange County, and to my recollection the area looks nothing like the way it's portrayed on the show.</p>
<p>Ok first of all RYAN is not hot...I will give him SOME props for the bod, but honestly by HOLLYWOOD standards, homeboy is busted. Not to mention, he's like short as hell. AND I might add that our boy Ben McKenzie (or however you spell it) is a HORRIBLE, DISTUGINGLY BORING actor. He has ONE facial expression, and it's an annoying one at that. Moreover, the show is boring as hell, and nothing like the "lives of the rich" or the lives of ANYONE for that matter. It's a total joke...I liked it at first, and I still watch it, but the storylines are just WAY TOO FAR-FETCHED and they are actually pretty damn funny.</p>
<p>IN OTHER WORDS don't hate on Seth...I must go do homework but I will be back to continue the reasons why he is worth enduring 45 minutes of complete BS every Thursday night. :D</p>
<p>Ben Mckenzie (Ryan) is very short! I meet him a few months back and was shocked to find he is roughly the same height as me. I'm only 5<code>5 (by the way, being a 19 year old guy who is 5</code>5 is not much fun) if that gives you any idea... I've come to grips with the fact I'm short, but considering he plays a bad boy on TV, it's kind of funny to see how small he really is.</p>
<p>mmmmmmmm i love the OC. its like my guilty pleasure. who doesnt love a plot line where ryan is dating his ex girlfriend's stepsister, while his ex girlfriend is having a lesbian affair with ryan's brother's ex girlfriend. oh SO good.</p>
<p>and adam brody is def the hottest one on the show. i love him.</p>
<p>funny, this website said ryan is 5'9"...</p>
<p>I read this survey in some magazine, might be interest y'all:</p>
<p>Why do you watch the O.C?</p>
<p>The girls are hot - 5.3%
The guys are hot - 7.6%
My life is just like it - 25.7%
I have no life - 61.4%</p>
<p>It was done at approx 30 high schools in CT or something... gosh it makes me laugh :D</p>
<p>I wish I had a picture with him that I could post, but I had only had so much time to get pictures with the cast. I ended up only having time to get my picture with Mischa Barton and the girl who plays Summer.</p>
<p>When it first came out I watched it, but then it just got stupider and stupider to the point where it was no longer remotely enjoyable. As for realistic TV shows about highschool, I think Life As We Know It is the best.</p>
<p>OMG LOVESSS IT!! I always have to TiVo it up tho cus they changed it to be on at the same time as the OC!!!! But yeah, it is really really good guys, I suggest watching it! :D</p>
<p>Not to mention, Dino DEFINITELY gives Seth a run for his money in the hottie department. Can we say young Tom Cruise?? HOLLA!!!!!!</p>
<p>Dino, yuck! Ben is such a cutie! And those 3 boys remind me so much of my Boyfriend and his 2 friends, it's almost creepy.</p>
<p>Ben is cute too, I won't try to lie about it. I def think it is way more realistic though, like you said. Not to mention, I am feelin the Kelly Osbourne action even though I don't really like her...but it's nice to see someone who isn't drop dead gorgeous on TV!!!!</p>
<p>Quote: My life is just like it - 25.7%</p>
<p>Yea I think 1% live like that, which include Paris Hilton and the like.</p>
<p>Yeah, all the people on life as we... are pretty average looking with the exception of sue.</p>
<p>adam brody is hott, but i've watched about 10 minutes of the OC with a few of my friends and i can't stand the show. haha it's sad i guess, but i would rather finish my homework than sit through a show that depicts a bunch of really fake, outlandish people in a "perfect" place. </p>
<p>...well, unless it's the real world ;) haha</p>

...why does everyone think Seth Cohen is hot? He is a weird, skinny kid who is nothing compared to Ryan, the epitome of hott....Adam Brody is not hot!
[/quote]
ctgirl:<em>gasp</em> what? no. Adam Brody is extremely hot! (btw, you spelled "hot" wrong...) ok, so he is a little weird, but that's just another reason why he is so great! ADAM BRODY IS MUCH HOTTER THAN BENJAMIN MACKENZIE!</p>
