DUH NUH NUH NUH, DUH NUH NUH NUH [CLAP CLAP]: Check your calendar -- today is 9.02.10.
Your trivia question, should you choose to accept it: in what order did the characters lose their virginity, and to whom? (90210 Original Recipe. I stopped watching the remake after about 2-3 episodes.)
I believe Steve, Kelly and Dylan (and, of course, Nat, Mr. Walsh and Mrs. Walsh) already had some experience in that area by the time the show aired its premiere episode. And, if I recall correctly, Steve later revealed that Kelly was his first. As for the rest, this is my best recollection:
ReplyDelete1. Brandon - Girlfriend who was visiting from Minnesota.
2. Brenda - Dylan
3. David - someone who wasn't Donna.
4. Andrea - Jesse
(significant gap)
5. Donna - David
I'll cop to watching pretty much the whole first season of 2.0, but gave it up shortly into this season. It's just so SERIOUS and not nearly enough snark present in the dialogue, and I say that as someone who might or might not have a "record all episodes" pass for Gossip Girl.
ReplyDelete<span>Brandan: Cheryl - girlfriend in Minnealpolis
ReplyDeleteBrenda: Dylan - night of the spring dance!
Dylan: don't know, we assume he's a bit of a garbage dick pre-Brenda
Kelly: Hot senior who boned her in the woods and then never spoke to her again - can't remember his name
Steve: Kelly (?)
Donna: Depends on which season you're talking about. In the first season, we learn that Donna has had sex, but we don't know whom with (she and Kelly are counceling Brenda on her upcoming first time). somewhere after the second season she becomes revirginized and later does it for the first time with David (d'uh)
David: Ariel (hussy)
Andrea: Mark, the hunky RA
Scott: poor kid never had a chance</span>
Oops. I forgot about Andrea's tryst with her RA before she settled down with Jesse, whom she later divorced.
ReplyDeleteThe people above have the pairings better than I do, but I think the order goes something like this:
ReplyDelete1. Dylan - no idea who or when, but we assume he was having sex way before anyone else
2. Kelly - as asrayx says, as a freshman with the senior who basically date raped her in the woods
3. Steve - with Kelly, sometime when they were dating, before the show started
4. Brandon - with the girlfriend from Minnesota who came to visit
5. Brenda - with Dylan, night of the junior prom
I stopped watching after they graduated high school, so I have no idea about Donna (what's this about her supposedly having sex before season 1 and then calling herself a virgin?!), David, Andrea (although I know she later had a baby, so I guess that happened...) and the rest.
Asrayx should have shared that she did that without googling.
ReplyDeleteI think the RA's name was Dan Rubin...
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have, via the Internets. <span>Entires are listed by episode, character and their first.
ReplyDelete1.04 - Brandon Walsh with Sheryl
1.13 - Kelly Taylor with Ross Weber (before series starts - mentioned again in 8.26)
1.21 - Brenda Walsh with Dylan McKay
4.06 - Andrea Zuckerman with Dan Rubin
4.31 - David Silver with Ariel Hunter
7.02 - Steve Sanders with Kelly Taylor (mentioned - before series starts)
7.14 - Valerie Malone with Tom Miller (mentioned - before she appeared on show)
7.31 - Donna Martin with David Silver</span>
First was Josh, with Amy. (Amy had lost her virginity earlier, during college, when she was having "quite a lot of sex" with Josh's roomates.)
ReplyDeleteThen was Sam, with Mallory. Even though she promised "no sex" after the Chinese opera, they totally did it. Oddly, Mallory never lost her virginity, because she's a teacher.
After Sam and Mallory, Toby had that whole torrid affair with his self-righteousness, which is arguably masturbation, I realize, but that self-righteousness really had an identity all its own.
Then came the re-election, at which point Jed and Abbey finally consummated their relationship. (The girls are all adopted, of course.)
It's pretty clear that the Matt and Helen Santos lost their virginity well before they came on the scene, and in fact had intercourse just about every moment they were off screen.
Finally, Donna lost her virginity to Josh right toward the end of the show's run.
You forgot Charlie and Zoey, which happened somewhere around Season 2, Sam "accidentialy" sleeping with Dr. Lisa Cuddy, call girl, and, of course, CJ hooking up with Danny Concannon (we're going to ignore the late retcon of her having a brief, torrid, affair with Hoynes).
ReplyDeleteAlso, Ryan Seacrest on 90210!
ReplyDeleteLove the bit re: Scott.
ReplyDeleteDan Rubin - of couse! my bad.
ReplyDeleteOr with Gibbs
ReplyDeleteAnyone know if the cast/writers of 90210 have been interviewed today? I mean, did they ever think that 20 years after the show premiered the Internet would be going crazy about 9.02.10 day? (I would google but am out of town and on the slowest internet connection known to man...)
ReplyDeleteMatt, your suggestion that Charlie was *ever* a virgin is really distressing. He's way too much a man -- he seduced the nurse who took care of him in the delivery room.
ReplyDelete????
ReplyDelete????
ReplyDelete????
ReplyDeletethat wasn't supposed to happen
ReplyDeleteMy first memory of my little sis having a pop culture life separate from mine is that when 90210 premiered, she made me tape every episode on the VCR while she was away at summer camp so she could watch it when she came home. I didn't watch until later, when we watched at college - ironically, of course.
ReplyDeletebella wifer, there's a couple of great interviews with 90210 producers (and random cast members - Jim, Cindy and Emily Valentine!) here:

The one with Larry Mollin is fascinating, even though he was there during seasons 4 - 7 (college years) after I stopped watching. Lots of good trash talk about "the old man" (aka Aaron Spelling). Charles Rosin's interview is good, too.
Which reminds me of my own little six-degrees-of-90210 trivia: one of my best friends from high school is Charles Rosin's cousin. When we were in high school (and HUGE 90210 fans), she, her brother, and friend Sharon went out to L.A. and got to go to the set and be extras in a Peach Pit scene. It happened to be the one where Color Me Badd was on, and you can see them in the background.
Color Me Badd! Ha! So awesome, I am completely laughing outloud right now.
