How is it possible that before the hiatus, Blair seemed so happy and over Chuck because of her time spent with Dan and all of a sudden she realizes she wants him back, despite everything? So rushed, so unconvincing. And the fact that she does not care for Dan? I DON'T BUY IT.
Writers, you put so much time into the DAIR storyline, don't destroy it please!

I love how Chuck went an extra mile to get that Princess Diana's dress for Blair to wear. It shows how much he wants her to feel like a princess, something she has wanted to be ever since...I'm pretty sure Chair is endgame because of the obstacles they have to go through but I wish the writers stop doing this to them. As a fan I want to see their relationship grow together rather than just reuniting them towards the end of the show. I'm so sad when I saw Chuck taking that pic alone!!!

Can I just say that the only reason I started watching Gossip Girl again was because of Dair?
I know that seems kind of silly and I know that Chair is probably endgame, but seriously all this "I love you but we're not ready" and "I need to go through all this other stuff before we can be together" drama is seriously tiring to watch.
At the beginning of this season, I wanted Chair back together (I was a hardcore straight from season one ChuckandBlair shipper), but now it just feels like all they do is hurt each other. I mean if this were real life (which I mean it isn't because stupid silly things happen in GG life), Blair should have moved on by now.
Anyways aside from the rant on Chair...
I hate that the writers built up Dair only to have it crushed under Blair's heels. I mean, if they were going to make it all "Oh I love you Chuck!" then really Dair shouldn't have kissed. They should have just stayed friends.
I didn't like this episode, and I am really fed up with Chuck

OMG was that what the whole Dan/Blair build up was all about?? They writers suck! I am fine with her choosing Dan or Chuck but lets be honest, her choosing chuck would feel forced, he decided only one episode ago that he def. wants to be with her.. but the dan thing should have had a better ending if they wanted to end it.. god the writers suck... I'm seriously thinking about not watching anymore...
and another thing raina & nate... how is that even remotely interesting??

I was very disappointed but since the trailer looked excited I kinda felt it would be good but wrong. I think the story surrounding all characters were flat and undeveloped. I liked Dair thing kinda different for same old things but they killed it. I was tired of Chair game, one time blair wants him and chuck does not and then switch. it was getting so boring and predictable. write new and exciting stuff please..:)

new cousin will single white female on dan. but that's next season. you could keep this thing with dan and Blair going for a long time as friends with a side order of loving. they are very funny together how ever you pair them up.

I seem to be in the minority but I liked it. Of course Blair and Chuck can't get together yet, it's too soon and they had to set up the story for Blouis and all the drama that entails. I feel like all the build-up for Dair ended exactly how it should, they are friends and really, I hope, a catalyst for Derena. I can't wait for next week and I can't wait to watch Blair get swept off her feet by Louis. Finally it will be all about her.

I just noticed that if ruffus and william are ok, and lilly, carol and their mom are ok, and vanessa is hated by everybody and jenny is not there and serena has no romantic interest there is little place for any thing not blair-chuck-louis-dan exept maybe chairlies crazy amd rainas mom thing.

CB girl, are you the one that made a kick ass analysis in the Zap2it article?
PS. I was suprised Chuck didn't tell Serena about Dan & Blair himself just to cause trouble for them .. maybe this is a sign of him trying to "mature" *crosses fingers & hopes it could be*
Blair/Dan - i dont think the Dair story is over. Dan def has some feelings for Blair. You could tell when he was talking to Eric it was so cute when he said something along the lines of "she does smell nice tho" hahaha. Also he looked sad when he realized that when Blair said "life changing" she didn't mean that she wanted to be with him. The little part where Dan told Blair her prince was still out there was nice, I hope if they aren't going to date they stay good friends! Also, I wasn't sure how to take that glance he gave Serena when Blair told him his princess was there when he was ready. Does he want Blair or Serena as his princess ? hmmmm!
Blair/Chuck- I think it was too soon for Blair to decide she wanted to be back with Chuck. But she did the right thing by telling him he needed to mature. I LOVED that he had wanted Blair to be in the photo with him and got her Princess Diana's dress. I miss the old Chair before he tried to sell her. Blah.

as for chuck... i feel sorry for him. as much as i enjoyed d dan/blair dynamic... let's face it... dan is not d time to fight for her. remember he's not a part of that world, to scheme & do whatever it takes to get the one he wants. i mean... he doesn't even have connections. the prince on the other hand will serve as real competition. a guy who's bigger & better than chuck bass... who can impress blair & do & give her much more than he can... well that's gotta hurt. chuck's definitely gotta change & use an alternative way of trying to win her back... maybe even giving her what she wants... a real fairytale... and even louis can give her that too. for d love of blair i don't mind her ending up with either of them. but for d love of chuck... i think he deserves to be happy. and no one knows him better or can make him happy like blair can. guess we'll just have to wait and see. good episode.

is there any point to charlie??? i mean really?? i'm only interested in finding out what's wrong with her & am disappointed ma ma charlie didn't spill to her little sis abt it. i mean it would be awkward if charlie was lik crazy or something & tries to take over serena's world, or a potential love interest for dan. boringgggggg... either way, she & vanessa are 2 characters i see no point to havin around. vanessa is jus creepy. i mean at first i thought she was d one normal person in d show. there has to be one realistic character... but now V is d most shady character... spying & listening in & creating drama. lame. kinna pathetic. she has no plot. and what's she's doing can be done more classily by someone else. anyone else.

This episode felt like a big foreplay for the coming episodes. I both liked and disliked it bad. Chuck's behavior was just a little off. I was expecting begging from his side and all I got was some halfhearted scheming. Blair wanting to get back together with him felt a little too soon. The "You are sacred to me"-thing hurt her very much and I feel like Blair wouldn't be able to put those feelings aside that fast. The Bass family photo was heart breaking and so was Dan's disapointment..

it was much better than I expected after all the spoilers I read online....but what I loved most about the episode, apart from the whole Dair thing (which was so cute and exactly how a classic romantic comedy should be) was the fact that GG writers showed Blair hiding in her bed for a week after supposedly realizing that her future is with Chuck...if an epiphany like that is not enough to scare a sane girl then I dont know what is...if I were her I would be hiding out too! :P

After watching this episode I have to say I felt for both Chuck and Blair. I still think that it was a SUCH a weak excuse for CB to have another "break" but d*** if Leighton didn't sell it so I couldn't rage at Blair anyway. I went in there believing I was going to hate the scene and want to rage at Blair but Leighton proved me wrong. Bravo Girl.
I felt so much for Chuck- Ed killed it. You could tell how badly Chuck wanted it to work out with Blair. I also love the sense of loneliness they portrayed with Chuck, it broke my heart but I got the Beast vibe. Same with Leighton. Even though again I think it is the most ridiculous hurdle to throw at CB and so obviously to prop Blouis (Blair/Louis), Leighton made me feel for Blair because you could tell she wanted Chuck to prove her wrong, get it right this time and prove he was "mature". Plus I can objectively see that Chuck really needed to hear that from Blair. He now knows what he needs to do to get her back. I hope what she told him s

This episode just killed Dair, I no longer feel the buzz that I had... well, just before I watched it. Dair just seems like a game that the directors are playing with just to make it different every now and again.
Also agree it did kinda kill Chair. What Blair did was right bcuz if she still feel into Chucks arms as usual it would just end badly, AGAIN. But even i'm beginning to think will Chuck ever grow up.
I found this episode quite boring as a Dair and Chair fan. But found Charlie intriguing and without that and the whole Lilly story I think it would have been terrible.
At first I thought the introduction of Prince Louis would make it incredibly exciting, now I think its gonna b just complicated, what with Chuck having to actually grow up before he can even try to fight for Blair.
