What a fun episode! We loved seeing the gang head out of town for the big game/cheerleading competition. Brooke really wants to lead her squad to victory, and Peyton wants to get back into Brooke's good graces, so when a cheerleader has to drop out, she gets Haley to step in!

Meanwhile, Haley and Lucas clash about her spending time with Nathan, Mouth has us doubled over in laughter with his dance routine, and Whitey remains eminently quotable. Plus, Tim's strip club goof leads us to find out why Sarah was once kicked out of one. If you haven't seen this episode in awhile, dust off your DVDs and rewatch -- it's one of our favorites so far, and a nice break from all the angst of the past few weeks.

Hilarie Burton celebrates her 26th birthday today! With her big day so close to the Independence Day holiday, it’s no wonder that the 4th is her all-around favorite day. She's said: “My birthday is July 1st and my best friend's birthday is July 5th, so it's always been a favorite holiday. It's all about having a cooler full of sodas, hot dogs, and just hanging out and shooting off firecrackers, being low-key, watching the fireworks. There's something about a holiday that isn't all about how much money you spend." We hope Hilarie turns the first week of July into a week full of celebrations!

Hilarie was born in Sterling Park, Virginia. She has three younger brothers, Billy, Johnny and Conrad (she nicknamed them “Billy Awesome,” “Johnny Kickass” and “C-Rock”). She decided early that she wanted to be an actress, so she packed her bags and headed to NYC where she quickly landed an unbelievable gig as an MTV VJ. Interestingly, Hil’s folks wouldn’t allow her to watch the racy channel when she was growing up. Talk about the ultimate rebellion!

It wasn’t long before the folks at Dawson’s Creek spotted her for a guest-starring role on the popular TV show and that role parlayed into her Peyton Sawyer role in One Tree Hill. Let's take a trip down memory lane to remember some of our favorite Peyton moments...

It's Monday, and you know what means -- we're back in the ring for another round of Fighting Words (check out last week's Fighting Words for the scoop on our latest feature)! This week, we take on Lucas and Peyton's relationship on One Tree Hill. Here's the fight:

And we're off! Post your comments and let us know your take on Leyton! Remember to keep it civil and respect everyone's opinions.

Jackie: Now that we’re going back and watching season one, I can see how the writers originally set up Lucas and Peyton as the be-all, end-all couple of this show. Brooke seems to have been introduced as an afterthought – Peyton’s sassy sidekick, the good-time gal who’s all about fun, while Lucas and Peyton have this amazing CONNECTION that we’re constantly reminded of. But all that changes in later seasons when Lucas and Brooke’s chemistry takes their relationship to a new level and Peyton finds romance with Jake. We see that Lucas and Peyton can, in my opinion, be even better with other people than they were together.

Lucas refusing to do what's best for his health... again? Sheryl Crow reducing Haley to a blubbering fangirl? Keith making his dumbest move yet? An eyeliner addict seducing Lucas on a carousel? Aforementioned eyeliner addict turning out to be Jake's ex?

They seem like events we dreamt up, but all of these things happened in "The First Cut Is The Deepest," a rage-inspiring episode for some of us (Sarah), and a controversial one for everyone. We think Brooke has every right to be angry right now (and she's got the best look of contempt we've ever seen), wish Nathan and Haley had way more screen time, and don't like where this Nikki plot is going... not one bit.

One Tree Hill's season finale left us wondering who Lucas called, and some of us at CW Source Central were convinced it was Lindsey (he still seemed to be in love with her; she broke his heart, etc.). But TVGuide's latest casting scoop makes it look like Lucas and Lindsey don't have much of a future together -- that's because Michaela McManus, who played Lindsey on Season Five, is heading to Law and Order: Special Victims Unit as the assistant district attorney! We're happy for Michaela, but we wonder where this leaves OTH. Will we see Lindsey again in Tree Hill? Will Lucas be even more brokenhearted than he was for most of Season Five? And are you happy about this development, or will you miss Lindsey?

Eonline reports that Gossip Girl received a whopping 14 Teen Choice nominations, including Best Drama, Best Breakout Show, and Choice TV Actor/Actress.

It's true that GG is everywhere on the list of nominations. All three female leads (Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, and Taylor Momsen) are up for Best Breakout Female Star, and we were especially excited to see Ed Westwick's Chuck Bass nominated for Choice TV Villain along with Smallville's Michael Rosenbaum. But One Tree Hill also earned its fair share of nominations, including Choice TV Drama, Hilarie Burton and Sophia Bush for Choice TV Actress and Chad Michael Murray for Choice TV Actor. Our complaint: where are James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Galeotti? They deserve some noms, too!

Other shows represented include America's Next Top Model (Cycle 10 winner Whitney is up for Choice TV Female Reality Star, Tyra is up for Choice TV Personality, and the show itself is in the running for Choice TV: Reality Beauty and Makeover), Pussycat Dolls Present: Girlicious (for Reality Music Competition), and Smallville (Choice TV Show Action/Adventure, Choice TV Actor/Actress Action/Adventure for Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk). Even Beauty and The Geek made the list with a nomination for Choice TV: Reality Beauty & Makeover.

Notably absent from the list: Supernatural and Reaper. And what about Everybody Hates Chris, Aliens in America, Girlfriends, and The Game? We think these shows were seriously overlooked -- do you agree?

Wow. Just... wow. Lucas is out of the hospital recovering from his recent car accident, and now that he's conscious again, he has to deal with the two women in his life. Brooke's doing her best to be a good girlfriend, but little does she know that Lucas and Peyton are still hooking up behind her back. And when the truth does come out, it's in the worst possible way... leading all of us to rant about how horribly this situation was handled.

Meanwhile, Nathan's being pulled in two directions by Dan and Deb, whose impending divorce is getting ugly. Good thing he has his relationship with Haley to distract him -- and speaking of Hales, we get to hear her sing! Oh, and Karen and Keith reconcile, but they're in a different place than they were before her trip to Italy.

We can't argue with this: James Lafferty and Bethany Joy Galeotti are on EW.com's list of Castmates with Chemistry for their portrayal of Nathan and Haley. Fan Sarah had this to say: "They just have this simple grace, comfort, and pureness to the way they portray this couple. They never cease to amaze, and really bring it each week." We couldn't have said it better!

Kudos to James and Bethany -- their chemistry got us hooked on Naley, and their acting keeps us glued to the TV. They've definitely earned this!

Time for another Season One OTH podcast! This week, the Brooke/Peyton/Lucas triangle takes a backseat to some life-threatening drama when Lucas is hospitalized and unconscious after the car crash.

Haley beats herself up over her fight with Lucas and avoids Nathan, Brooke puts her foot in her mouth when she tries to bond with Karen, and Keith is exiled from the hospital room. Plus, Dan actually gets a hug... and then gets served!

As we all know, Antwon Tanner is the bomb. We caught up with him at the Entertainment Weekly party a few weeks ago and he was cracking us up again talking about the Skills/Deb hookup:

We're sure all you fans will have a lot to say about Mark Schwahn's interview with Jason C. at the Entertainment Weekly party and we can't wait to hear it! Turns out we all really lucked out because most of the other shows only had 5 shows to air after the writer's strike but Mark and Co. gave us 6 to feast on until next season. Of course, we all want to know what he's thinking about the Lucas/Peyton/Brooke/Lindsay storyline, and he gives us some insight here:

Michaela McManus chats it up with Jason C. and talks about how surprised she was that Lindsay didn't get as much hate as she thought she would. What's in store for Lucas and Lindsay? We're not really sure...

Ok, I couldn't wait to put this podcast up. While this was a great episode, Sarah and I found ourselves being incredibly frustrated with Lucas and Peyton in Hanging by a Moment. The two of them are sneaking around behind Brooke's back instead of being reasonable. Deb and Dan are still on the rocks and when a naughty slutty neighbor tries to get in Dan's pants Deb walks in before he can get the woman outta there. Meanwhile, Keith can't wait for Karen to get back and on his way to the airport ends up getting in a car wreck with Lucas in the car. The drama never ends! Discuss.

Well, Sarah and I will surely piss off plenty of people with this season 1 podcast of One Tree Hill. Many of you warned us about Crash Course in Polite Conversation and you were correct. Brooke tells Lucas to go help Peyton find out if her dad's body was the one washed up to shore after a hurricane - which of course means lots of Leyton alone time. Oh wait, the bridge is closed until morning? Leyton needs to get a motel room? I wonder what could happen.

Pretty please, tell us that Dan Scott isn't dead! We need more Paul Johansson - he cracks us up every time we speak to him. Here, Jason C. caught Paul at the Entertainment Weekly party during upfronts week.

We're back with another season 1 podcast for OTH's The Living Years. What a great episode! Sarah and I have a lot to talk about with this one. Brucas is officially a couple but Brooke is feeling a bit of a disconnect since they don't have the same interests. On top of this, Lucas seems to be hanging out with Peyton a bit more than usual. Speaking of Peyton, her dad has returned. Thanks to Lucas (of course) Mr. Sawyer is able to decrypt those really abstract drawings Peyton has been doing all these years (insert sarcasm here). Haley has turned into a rebel without a cause. She's ditching school, getting wasted with Nathan and gets an F on a pop quiz! At least she got to throw up on Dan - that was kind of worth it all.

We'll have more season 1 podcasts for you next week!

Sarah and I are missing Jackie (but not as much as some of you miss her sense of reason) as we podcast our way through season 1 of One Tree Hill. Poor Jackie missed this episode, You Gotta Go There to Come Back, we knew she was excited to see Lucas and Brooke get busted with condoms and whipped cream by Deb.

Still, this one wasn't our favorite. Thank goodness for Jake and little baby Jenny making an appearance - we're happy he decided to take her to the open mic night. What did you think of this episode? Let us know in the comments. Also, don't forget you can add us as a friend on Facebook now!
