Lovable Props From The O.C.: The Model Home Mix

Oh yes the famous and short lived model home mix Marissa Cooper made for Ryan in the second episode of season one, "The Model  Home". She burned this for Ryan behind Luke's water polo playing back and then well i'm assuming it got burned in the fire that Luke started since we never see it again and due to the fact that Ryan leaves the model home with just the clothes on his back..The CD mix was suppose to educate and expand Ryan's non existent love for music. On their way to the model home Marissa asks Ryan what kind of music he likes, Ryan answers with "I listen to everything" then mentions " I don't listen to music that much". Seth immediately says "Dude that's weird.". Notable tracks included on the mix were Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah. Later on in the show we figure out that Ryan really has a thing for the band Journey, I would have never guessed that but it somehow fits. Stay tuned for the list of notable things burned in the model home fire!

Here we have a funny little rare glimpse that can only be seen clearly if you obsessively hit the pause button over and over, yeah I kind of did that...Anyways, in the pilot episode after the fashion show we head over to Holly's beach house. The camera then shows a bunch of quick clips displaying crazy teenage behavior, drugs, sex and oh yeah this condom shot.

The O.C. Easter Egg: Summer Lovers Jab Reference

Where to find: Season 2 episode 10 "The Accomplice"

Scene: Seth, Ryan and Zach are hanging out talking on the pier about what Seth should do in his Alex/Jodi love triangle situation.

Lines:

Seth: "So what do I do?"
Zach: "What do you wanna do?"
Seth: "What I want to do is drive over to her apartment right now and just ask her, flat out - Alex are we in a relationship or are we not?"
Zach: "Good man, you should do it!"
Ryan: "He's not doing it!"
Seth: "Ryan its been almost a week okay and I still don't know where Alex stands. Is she back together with her lesbian ex - and if so are they open to some sort of menage three-ways in the film Summer Lovers?"

Easter Egg: Summer Lovers was a movie that came out in 1982, 21 years before The O.C..The movie stars your very own Sandy Cohen - Peter Gallagher playing the character Michael Pappas. I haven't seen the movie yet but from the photos (some pretty x-rated and can't be unseen), I gather its about a guy and a girl and then another girl, involving a love triangle/three some of sorts on an island resort type setting. This is why I love The O.C., the great detail and awesomeness the writers go into, leaving you bread crumbs to follow. Look at the above photo, Guess the Cohen blood runs strong, looking like a young Seth Cohen - a little comic book reading on the beach followed by a three-some..Look out Ryan Atwood Sandy's looking pretty ripped. Now the big question is, is this movie even worth watching?
