The O.C. (TV Series) The Man of the Year (2006) User Reviews

[aura772 · 8/10 · 2 April 2008]

Ryan and Volchok make a deal after a fallout at prom. Sandy is chosen as Man of the Year, but this sparks the DA to dig deeper into his involvement with the hospital problems. Marissa goes and sees Kaitlin at her boarding school and Seth visits the Newport Group HQ and lights up the joint.

Seth confronts his father and stands up for his mother. Kirsten needs help and luckily her son is there. But in which parallel universe is Sandy? It's really cool to have Kaitlin in this episode, she's totally fun, and it was an episode with a chance for Marissa to get out of the O.C. That's what she needed, a family moment, with all her Volchok drama. Unfortunately, Ryan always feels like he must take care or her business, and that includes what's happening in this episode.

And it seems, it's Seth's turn to leave a Newport Party with the handcuffs on.

The Man of the Year (#3.24)

[ComedyFan2010 · 6/10 · 27 September 2014]

There is investigation against Sandy. Summer tries to get the letter back but it doesn't work and Sandy reads it. He confronts Seth on his lies but he is all mad and says that Kirsten relapsed. Seth also causes a fire with his roach and gets arrested at the end. Marissa helps her sister while Ryan is forced to help Volchek.

I really have trouble to understand what Sandy did wrong. He sure is the most decent from the whole family. And no need to make him responsible for Kirsten not being to control her drinking. One thing an alcoholic knows is that she is responsible herself. So hell, Sandy totally deserves to be Man of the Year. And it is weird how nobody made a big deal about things that Seth did.
