PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

LAST EDITED ON 05-16-06 AT 07:08 PM (EST)"Spout new-agey psycho babble and fake a nice personality while manipulating everyone around you to get what you want." Unfortunately - that's the stereotype I think the show perpetuates... just another inaccuracy to add to the dishonesty of the show. ETA - I know most on the show are not from California, but the life coaches and Andy Paige re-located there and I think they're interpreting California a certain way, like they've hit the jackpot or something, and we the viewers are having to suffer with their ridiculous behavior. I wasn't posting this thread so that Californians could be bashed. I'm glad to hear from people who are from there that the behavior I think reads as ridiculous IS ridiculous.

My mom lives in orange county and I visit her often... I think there are a lot of plastic people there but they seem to be transplants from other places (llok at all the SO people who have moved there!) so I dont think you can blame it on the state. When I go to the mall I see a zillion Lindsay Lohan/ Paris Hilton look a likes. Too much tv. I think its very similar to So Beach..Then again, if you want to be a plastic Rhonda you can do it just about anywhere,, its not the place, its how important that type of lifestyle is to the person who lives there..

You're right about Andy. Her husband is the manager of a very well known (and really good!) Italian restaurant in NYC and she still lives there.

Well, I think its funny. My mom lives in Leisure world and I see the young chicks and the old ladies side by side at the mall...Its such a contrast!! Once I saw an old lady at Victoria secret holding up a thong, I laughed so hard, she could barely see it!! I think they made the women look foolish by focusing on their plastic surgery and spending habits..They seemed like nice fun people. It bothered me that they give their kids so much and have a "you cant take it with you" attitude but thats no different than my friends in other cities. I am living in another country and women are pretty much the same here too..I do have to say, having lived in 8 states and who knows how many cities, women in California take better care of themselves than in other places... JMO!!

I just want to add that the Los Angeles area does not represent the entire state of California. Southern California is vastly different than Northern California and the Central Valley. Many Californians think of No Cal and So Cal as almost two entirely different states.

Let us not forget Debhoooorah was also from Long Beach. Which is actually a nice place with a cross-spectrum of people, not that the representatives have come close to reflecting that.

Well, I AM from California, and none of the people on the show are (except maybe Dr. Stan), so I will not take responsibility for these idiots.
But now they're all moving here (Great - just what we need - a bunch of self-absorbed train wrecks clogging up my world and stretching the resources of my beautiful city to the breaking point) to make it big in showbusiness. All of them put together doesn't equal a thimble of talent (except maybe Jill; I still have a soft spot for her). I wish the rest of them would just disappear. I'm glad the show is almost over. It really sucks lately.

Interesting comments everyone. I've only visited San Francisco and San Jose, and drove on the highway along the ocean... anyway it's absolutely beautiful and I'm hoping to return.

There is something about the foliage - how big the trees can get in California. A lucky picture of a coastal lighthouse I took - we were passing by when the light was just right - lives on my wall. California dreaming...

Yeah - I have to agree... the traffic looks horrific... and the fact that you have to drive too. I'd have to win the lottery to live there... away from traffic, away from mudslides, the fires and the hot earthquake zones... but ya know I'd probably give it a try if I could.

Yeah it's funny. In CA we worry about the hurricanes and blizzards and tornadoes that happen in other states. It's all what you're used to.

I think what we see on TV doesn't represent the typical Californian (granted, this is coming from a North-Easter, Connecticut to be exact).When I think of California, I think of waitresses and waiters who are wanna be actors. I think of celebritie(or wanna be's) and their Scientology or Cabbalah, hot stone therapy and face creams that are made of the forskin of babies at a few $1000. bucks a bottle. They probably can't afford it but do it anyway to keep up with the "neighbors" I know there are ritch people aside from celebrities but I wonder how many of the non-celebrity ritch people are quite this shallow. Then there's the people who aren't celebrities and are not ritch. I think (and hope) this is a false representation of the typical Californian and this is just what we see about celebrities and the show "The OC". And as others have mentioned, most of the house guests are not from Cali, my guess is that they're already like that or as the saying goes, "When in Rome...Do as the Roman's do".
