Laguna Beach is an American reality TV show on MTV documenting the lives of several wealthy teenagers living in Laguna Beach, a wealthy community located in Orange County, California. With Season 1 seniors gone, Season 2 focused on Kristin and her "power clique." This clique included supporting cast members Alex H. and Jessica Smith, both of whom shared the camera last season (Jessica as Dieters girlfriend and Alex as Kristins best friend). This season followed the expected "Battle of the Cliques" and various love triangles experienced by the "power clique" members. Another Season 2 storyline followed the love life of Season 1's LC. Having left college in Northern California, she returned to Laguna Beach and found a new love interest toward the end of the season in the form of Jason, playboy extraordinaire. Stephen made an appearance surprising LC with chocolate and flowers around Valentine's Day. The love triangle from season 1 (LC, Stephen and Kristen) continued into the new season, however the triangle became a web when Talan entered into a relationship with Kristen. A new love triangle for season 2 also began involving Jason, Jessica and Alex M. However as relationships ended and girlfriends changed Jason remained at the centre of the new Laguna Love Web. Season 2 marked the advent in the change of filming style that MTV used for this show. The show took on a narrative tone and was filmed with multiple cameras. Critics remarked that with the aforementioned changes and other notable departures from the traditional documentary genre, they were skeptical of the veracity of this MTV reality show. However, MTV still maintains that this show is about real people and real situations.
