One Tree Hill: Prom (this time with 95% less psychotic fake 1/2 brother)

So I was watching One Tree Hill on the internet (it's a habit I enjoy privately on account of it making the Chef bleed from her eye sockets) and I realized that this episode must have been some sort of viewer contest. The gang shows up in a small Texas town (Honey Grove) and with recurring rocker Chris Keller inexplicably in tow, they crash the prom in the nicest Thrift Store duds ever. Seriously, right before Peyton and Lucas finally consumated their painfully long and drawn out relationship, I expected one of them to suggest a shower to wash off the smell of mothballs and cigar smoke that one associates with unwashed thrift goods.

Now you could tell it was for a contest because the extras were uniformly real-looking teens rather than super hot twenty-somethings. One exception to the awkward line delivery parade was the young woman on the left, who I immediately recognized as not only a hot twenty-something, but also a bonafide actress.



I went to college with Shauna Maclean. That's right, someone I know got to appear in a scene with freaking Chris Keller (as in "Chris Keller can't swim" and "Chris Keller gets lonely too sometimes"). I heard through the grapevine that she has also appeared on Prison Break and since she's Texas-based, I'm hoping she'll next pop up on Friday Night Lights.
