Great episode! While we didn't actually see any 'hate sex-, we know what was going on. What was even more fun was all the double-entendres and one-liners from Blair and Chuck.
Actually, a lot of the dialogue was pretty damn funny from several of the characters :)
Vanessa--sad thing that she is--hooking up with J&J. This will play out at the masquerade ball as we have seen all three blondes in the same blue gown and mask: Serena, Jenny, and Juliet.
The question is, what are they planning on doing--and to whom? We know they are going to screw with Serena, so I'm thinking that the other two will be saying and doing stuff with Dan and Nate, but pretending to be Serena, so that they both wind up hating her.
The question is: will it work?
I say no :)

I love the NJBC :D : D And it will be cool to see them all together against the outsiders. And seriously the outsiders (with Gothic Barbie as leader) have not any chance, haha :P

This episode was awesome!!
I love the hate sex, Chair needs to continue progressing their relationship!!!!!
I love that the Fantastic 4 united & N,B,C helped Serena. Just like old times!! It felt really good for Vanessa & Juliet to get a nice slap in the face... Until at the end you see those two outsiders planning with the one person that needs to be killed off the show.
BLAIR needs to take these three down already. It is just a matter of time. I love Serena, don't get me wrong, but I hate always seeing Blair having to come to her aid and take down all of S's enemies. She really needs to be with Nate and stop being a slut. Sorry I said it but Serena hasn't completely done a 360 change, yeah she might not party & all but she is still jumping from guy to guy.
DEFINETLY a great episode, can't wait for next week!!!
COME ON BLAIR!!

I am so bored with the Dan-Serena-Nate storyline, Dan and Serena were great in the beginning when Dan was truly a lonely boy and Serena wasn't so scratch-my-eyes-out irritating! But its Season 4 now and any relationship Serena has with these two boys is just tired. Is there seriously no one else on the Upper East Side?
I think Gossip Girl needs to fresh meat, get rid of Vanessa and Jenny (and the boring Juliet) and bring in a new PERMANENT cast member to antagonize/shake up the group, and be a potential love interest to Serena or Blair. Leighton Meester's delightful acting and Blake's hair is the only reason why I watch this show anymore.

All I know is I'm hoping for The Outsiders to win and Serena to get killed off in a brutal way. Maybe by watching Shenea Grimes' acting.

this review is inaccurate at the end - the only reason colin skipped town was because serena told him she didnt want to be with him and that she had realised she has feelings for dan she was running from, therefore she didnt just phone up dan for 'consolation' as the reviewer has put. thinking im rooting for serena and dan cos he brought out the best in her....

I am really, really sick of Serena and her shenanigans. All she does is get into one ridiculous situation after another because she is too selfish to make up her mind and too desperate for affection to turn down any boy who is interested (which is everyone because she is JUST. THAT. HOT.)
I don't think it would bug me as much if she wasn't still trying to play the "I'm reformed" card from season 1. You never changed Serena. We all know it. The jig is up.
That being said, I kind of am still hoping for a Derena resurgence because I kind of miss Dan-with-heart! That was what made a lot of the show so great, I think. In the early seasons, we had the stupid drama and intrigue that makes GG addictive, but there was also the heartfelt moments with Dan and Rufus, or even Dan just being a dork. I miss that. He used to be among my favorite characters....now he is just a constant source of aggravation!
(And also, wow, he certainly got over that baby thing fast).

S is beyong ridiculous at this point. If she's a whore, can't she be one without having B jeopardize her stop at Columbia or everyone coming to her rescue.
This girls really is boring. Fortunately CB saved the episode. Loved that last scene

It's been mentioned heaps of times that Serena hooked up with one of her teachers at boarding school (I think, for example, when Dan was stressing about her experience relative to his?). Ben is probably that teacher?
Maybe Serena lied to him about her age, or gave evidence against him or something? Interesting...

By the way - welcome back, Jenny! Taylor Momsen sucks, but it's all in the name of good entertainment.

The whole Juliet plotline was just sad. Nothing was explained. I was so disappointed. Then again, it's not the first time this season, let alone the whole series. I don't see any improvement from season 3 to season 4.
Instead, I see Josh and Stephanie insisting on the same storylines, especially when it comes to the Serena character. No wonder Blake wants out, she's a smart girl and that show may start to harm her career pretty soon, because there's really no room for any acting improvement there. Ed Westick proves what he's made of since he has been doing such an impressive work as Chuck. Leighton Meester has also improved greatly in the past 3 years, but Blair is much deeper and complex, a better character afterall. Then she was an aspiring actress, she is one now. She's great.
I still feel bad for what they're doing to Dan and Nate. Seems like Dan's principles are always disposable so everything he does feels a little out of character. He used to be the only person in the sh

First off Chair:
This week showed so much growth for one episode. The ending between them was so romantic. The way the dark prince carried our queen b was more than friends, it was a gesture only someone in love could do. When it comes to chair there is always going to be a thin line between hate and love. This week they decided they weren't enemies but unfortunately they're not quite together yet.
I was a little disturbed at the beginning of the episode but whatever I'm not gonna talk about it in detail.
Ah Derenate. Welcome back, I almost missed you. I felt really bad for Dan he just didn't catch a break.

Lol I thought that about Dan too his never at NYU! Yeah the S/C was abruptly halted one minute they can't wait to be with each other but when they are able to it's like bah. In a away that does reflect reality in certain extent the forbidden relationship is much more appealing! Lol
NJBC I think may be a typo could be NSBC

Well Juliet said something about Ben loving being a teacher and being idealistic before he was sentenced to jail. If Serena ruined his life, maybe she had an affair/said she had an affair with Ben and got him in prison (since she would have been underage). Especially since Juliet has been trying to ruin Serena's life in a similar way (affairs with Columbia Professors).
I don't quite understand why Colin and Serena decided to call it quits after all that trouble - seemed a bit odd to me.
Oh and do Dan and Vanessa no longer attend NYU?? Dan 'going to campus' as if they were attending the same school.
Serena: Congratulations, you've officially joined the dark side.
