Here's my take on what is going down. I didn't like juliet at the beginning but we need her character to spice things up with nate. His character is really fading. I love the writers u wanna know y coz they want u to hate chuck so much that u start to like this dair thing. When in fact they don't need to do that coz those characters are what keeps us all glued to the screen. F### the ratings u know what whoever stopped watching is really stupid what do u think they'll change the script just for u well guess again. Listen I was a chair fan but season 3 made me think again. Remember even in season1 dan & blair had chemistry. That's only if u watch it like I do. I thought they would have put them together S.1 but it didn't happen. Chuck and raina have no chemistry at all. You know what made me angry last time the watch he gave eva. And now the room he made for raina he never did anything like that for blair I'm so pissed off at that. Serena needs to leave ben she's no longer the IT GI

Can chuck pleeeeease fight for blair now, or get hurt from seeing blair with someone else?? Blair is always the one getting hurt!!!! And I agree, the foundation of their love was the fact Blair was the only thing he ever loved, now with Eva and Raina it's not as special!!!!

I really can't stand the Chuck/Raina thing. They have no chemistry as all. I just can't take them seriously. What is Rufus's point in the show other than to stand around in designer sweaters and be a trophy husband?
I used to love Chuck and Blair, but now I really like the chemistry between Blair and Dan. They are so cute together!
Serena and Dan never had good chemistry IMO, but Dair should definitely happen!

-Did the episode change my mind about Dair?-
Heck yeah, I love them even MORE than before!!!
The rest of the episode was good as well. The Business Storyline is finally getting interesting with those hidden agendas and personal issues.
And I'm totally on board with a storyline that features Eric a little more. Dude had very little to do lately...
Too bad that neither Chuck/Raina nor Serena/Ben have any chemistry whatsoever, but I'm willing to overlook that fact as long as the plot is okay...

I think the fact that DAIR now has the most chemistry and CHAIR used to shows that Leighton Meester is the best actress/actor on the show.

I really thought this episode was going to disappoint me because I absolutely hate Chuck and Raina, but since they broke up, aka ending on a good note for me, I actually really liked it overall.
First off Chuck is getting on my nerves!!!! How dare he confess to Raina all those nice things when Blair should be the only one he is capable of saying it to? This is Eva all over again. He said something like “When I care for someone I’m not afraid to show it”, and that made me so mad. Because if we recall back in season 2, it was Blair who went through all the crap he has put her through to get him to show an ounce of affection. Now he’s showing it to people he has zero chemistry with, what a waste. That nice of hotel is an example of a waste, because he decorated it for the wrong person. Second, what he did to Lily was absolutely horrible. Clearly he still has family issues, so I think that is something that could be dealt with in the future. He needs to fix what he did to Lily.

I liked this episode even if it's not the best of GG. I love Dair and I think as someone said that Dan can bring a lot for Blair. She wants to be seen as Queen B, a kind of modern wonderwoman, ambitious, unvulnerable and successful. That's how Chuck sees her and loves her but deep down she's also the girl who can be jealous of her best friend, who suffered the lack of attention of her mother and have been raised by Dorota. She's cultivated, loves arts, etc. Chuck doesn't see this hidden part of her and that's why he hurt her so much in the past. She can really be herself with Dan and he'll respect her. I think B's tireless despise of Dan was a (blairian) sign of interest. They secretly share the same passion for art and cinema and they hang out while everybody thinks they dislike each other, that's sooo cute and sooo romantic!
I'm sad Nate is getting more and more invisible, he has no storyline and he's as useless as Rufus, except that he carries his dad's bag when Rufus carries Lily'

I absolutely love the Dair build up. They are wonderful. they make sense, and they make each other happy in a healthy way! I love how these two can heal each other and push the other in the right direction.

Preuve, how can you suggest a causal relationship there? Fans are only now starting to see the relationship develop between Dan and Blair. After last night, it seems like more people are warming to the idea of their pairing. That won't be reflected in the ratings right away. In addition, if disgruntled Chair fans are abandoning the show, why would it be because of a Dan/Blair romance that hasn't even blossomed yet? It would have been after the season 3 finale, eh?

nini, you are SO right. Chuck used to be the guy that casually hooked up with lots of girls, but no one girl could ever "catch" him. Blair was the only one he loved. That's why we all believed in Chuck and Blair and their love, because we knew that even if he was bad and couldn't express his feelings for her, they were real and exclusive. Now it seems like he's flopping around from one chick to the next, throwing his heart at anyone who crosses his path.
Before, a lot of Chuck's power came from the fact that he was observing everyone from the sidelines, gathering information, and pulling strings behind the scenes. Now he seems grasping and obvious, and keeps saying things that sound so pathetically earnest. There's nothing cynical or sardonic about him anymore, but that's the Chuck we loved! That's the cool, superior Chuck who won Blair's heart.
About the only thing they can do to save him, at this point, is to have kind of a PTSD breakdown! He was shot and almost died; he was a

I loved Chair but after everything that has happened, I don't know how the writers would be able to actually write a decent and realistic (at least as realistic a TV show can get) reconciliation for them. And so after that disaster of a breakup, I think Dair would be good, provided that they (those who own and decide the fate of Gossip Girl) don't screw it up. I mean, I'd rather have a Chair on/off relationship than a Dair on/off relationship because that would be too much.

I'm shocked and elated that fans are actually digging Dair. From the first season I could see that their "hateful" banter chemistry had major potential, but I still loved Chair too. I think you can love an appreciate both.

I never thought I'd say this, but Dair is growing on me.
Like a fungus.
They're EASILY the best couple on air right now, at least.
I love the yes/no of it all :)
They're not endgame (CHAIR!) but they're still surprisingly good.
The handholding made me melt (been there).
And when Dan says he'll watch Rosemary's Baby with Blair, I couldn't stop grinning :)

dair is cute but i think they might be better off as friends?
i like the idea of chuck breaking down and blair picking up the pieces.
no idea what vanessas up to - probably out to break up dair.
damien - could play a big part
do you not just love how throughout this series we've learnt from blair all the cute, funny stuff blair and chuck did together last year that we never saw. like about valentines day and that whole singing thing earlier this season?
reminds me of how they used to be!

I think that Dan and Blair are cute but I think that Chuck is going to loose his company and fall apart like he did a little in the second season and bring him and Blair back to how they used to be. Thats my theory

I love Dair. I also like how they are building the relationship slowly. Oh and of course Chuck and Nate will take down Russell. Chuck Belongs to be on top of Bass Industries. I want bad boy Chuck back, alcohol, whores and all.

I absolutely adore Dair. I loved Chair in S1/2, but since then they haven't felt like they used to be, they feel repetitive which makes them boring. IMO, Chair should stay in the past- though I'm convinced it won't ever be the end for them and they will be end game unfortunatley. However, Dair are fresh and I love the chemistry between them. They are definately one of my new favourite couples; I want them to kiss already! :)

Damn, how I love DAIR. As much of a CHAIR fan as I've always been, I was always open to the idea of DAIR as a diversion while Chuck pulled his head out of his ass, but I'm starting to think it's permanently stuck though. Plus DAIR is just so much more fun, while Chuck's feelings for Blair seem to cheapen every time he falls in love with the next five minute girl. Though I don't dislike Raina. I just don't care about her and Chuck.
Serena/Blake needs to eat something. Seriously. Every time her hair is pulled back or up it accentuates just how much weight she's lost. She's still beautiful, of course, but gaunt.
Don't care about Serena and Ben anymore than I do about Chuck and Raina, except as symptom of Serena's ever faster downward spiral. Try a week without a boyfriend, Serena; I swear it won't kill you.
Eric and Damian could be interesting as long as this doesn't turn into Eric as victim redux. He's better than that. And I'd lke to find out more about Damian; what

And Dair is hapenning is such a perfect dosis , that we are likening.
Chania has to end and berena no chemestry there, even ruflus and serena has more than this couples .... If we have dair maybe one day we'll get rufnessa,
and as irony the only one playing clean is lily.... Chuck , chuck u lost the only family u had and very well deserve.
