Take equal parts Laguna Beach, The Real World, and Melrose Place and you get MTV's reality series 8th & Ocean. Set in the oh-so-glamorous world of modeling (Miami style), the show focuses on the lives (and loves) of 10 hotties trying to become the next Gisele Bundchen and Jason Lewis (Sex and the City). The cast is young, brash, and entertaining, although at times not very realistic about their chosen careers. One of the girls is averse to modeling risqué clothes for photo shoots. She seems to forget that she's a model. In Miami. And that most of the civilians walking around on the beach are flaunting less clothing than she is. As for Vinci, the resident heartthrob, he seems intent on sabotaging his own burgeoning career by being forever late (if he shows up at all).

8th & Ocean has plenty of eye candy to offer in the 10 episodes here. Between the fast editing, hormonally charged vignettes, and emo background music meant to make viewers pine along with the cast, it's easy to get carried away with the kids' dramas. Which two will sleep together? Will Sabrina's skin problem ever clear up? Will any of them become household names? No, they're not life or death dilemmas. But for the majority of folks who will never be mistaken for a model, it's nice to see that even the beautiful people are plagued by insecurities. And zits. --Jae-Ha Kim

Product Description

From the team behind MTV’s genre-bending series Laguna Beach comes the next addiction in television. 8th & Ocean tells the story of 10 aspiring models living together in a beachfront apartment complex while enduring the cut-throat world of fashion. Capturing the real lives of the cast with the look and feel of a drama, 8th & Ocean is shot in the style of a narrative film, but with an "indie edge." There are no interviews or confessionals – the stories are told purely through probing camerawork, eclectic music and unscripted dialogue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a dip in the "Ocean", September 16, 2006

Elle-P (Chicago IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 8th & Ocean - The Complete First Season (DVD)

I'm not a 15 year old girl, and i absolutely LOATHE Laguna Beach and its fakeness, but i really enjoyed the first season of 8th & Ocean. I think the reason i enjoy 8 is because the people on 8 have to make a living and make their own way in the world, while on laguna the kids are spoiled whiny ill behaved brats. SUMMARY, Good girl Britt joins the Irene Marie Modeling Agency in Miami and tries to advance her modeling career while hanging on to her morals. Britt moves in to an apartment shared with other models such as Tracie who at 24 is no longer the fresh face she used to be and whose opportunities are drying up. Also living in the models apartment are feuding twins Kelly and Sabrina, (whose parents must have been CHARLIES ANGELS fans), who have to deal with sibling jealousy and ups and downs of their cereers while being at each others throats, i mean if you can't trust your sister who can you trust. Irene also has to deal with super hot, super FLAKY male model Vinci who is super unreliable. So will Britt be able to keep her morals or fall prey to the sharks that are attracted to fresh meat? Tune in to see. EP

5.0 out of 5 stars Great DVD, November 7, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: 8th & Ocean - The Complete First Season (DVD)

I got it on sale which made it even more awesome. I don't like the fact that all the ethnic people (Sorry Vinci you know how you're marketed sometimes even though your a hot puerto rican) are on the back and the white people are on the front. I'm white but I even noticed it before my friend did. You can barely tell it's 8th and ocean anyway cause the name is small or just blended to well.

What's gonna suck when you buy it is on the first disc you have the previews to freakin' laguna beach and the hills and you can't skip over it so it's like walk away for three minutes and come back. (hate you guys for that crap. first time great but IT SUCKS TO WATCH IT.)

The shows are great. I wish they'd had an extended show or a never before aired show. The dvd goes through really fast. Man this is such a great show.

Deleted scenes are QUICK. great but 2 QUICK!!!! The TRL appearance is on it, which I'm offended by b/c none of the people i watched the show for are on it. (No offense Brit, Twins, and Vinci)

The MTV overdrive is on it which is GREATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

The bios could have been better. I would have liked to see a resume or some pictures or somethin!!!

There's an audition section which is great!!!! Loved Talesha's the best. The twins started arguing again. Come on girls!!!

I always see TRacie on tv now and I love her I'm pissed she left the show. But I see her on everything. I saw Vinci in an underwear ad. are they doing a season 2?????

Great t.v show. On the trailer it showed a lot of clips missing that weren't aired, where are they? how come the whole cast isn't on the cover? Vinci is awesome, just misunderstood i love his interviews, love brianna and tracie. adrien did he ever get that role?
