and just on next week, really interested to see what diana uncovers on blair should be fun!
but i think the whole louis finding the envelope and the fact that we know louis is gonna make chucks life hell means he either found out the baby is chucks or he knows they had sex. either way SUPER EXCITED for next week!!!

OMG! I'd swear on anyone, I was thinking bout their hair today too!!
Blair's hair looks terrible! And so does her make-up. what's with the excessive powder and red lips in all scenes?? The only time Leighton looked incredible in Season 5 is in the Jenny Packham show scenes.. (so glad she had scenes with Penn then) but my point is it's not L's real-life bangs that's the problem. It's whoever they've hired for the make-up and hair needs to wake up!!
As for Penn, i know he's doing the Jeff Buckley movie.. so i guess that's ok. I don't like him in short hair either.. for me, he looked soo handsome in the 4x17 scenes! It's weird those shots are the ones TVF has used in the recent posts!! :D

GET LOUIS OFF THE BLOODY SHOWWWW!!! just looking at the looser reaks desperation he's so annoying. i understand that he comes from monaco so he's a foreign acter but come on!! he's terrible!
and dan... REALLYYYY?! you've been inlove with blair for months now and thats how you portray the sex scene! I WANT BLOODY PASSION! if there gonna set up dair it has to be better than that if its gonna match chair!
and i really didnt like the way he portrayed serena, like i saw it coming but she's so write he's the only one who knew her for who she wanted to be and he just killed it. and then he goes "oh sorry i need to go find blair." SHUTUP MUPPET HAIR AND HAVE A SERIOUS CONVERSION!!! so glad he's alone right now.
and my poor chuck :( that was sad :(
and to even portray his own father like that. arghh humphrey you've got a LOT of redeeming to do buddy

Nevertheless, I personally think the only thing Dan and Blair share is bad hair. I mean SERIOUSLY! The whole freaking gg team must be turning over because their hair is ruining perfectly good scenes! Blair looks greasy overall and the only time Dans hair looked alright was during the Inside party.

Don't worry Dair fans, even if TVF is a bit lopsided on the Chair side doesn't mean the gg writers have forgotten about you. Gossip Girl herself even made a "dair" pun when they kissed ;)

*sigh*
Like someone already mentioned in one of the comments, it is SO sad that none of the panel are DAIR shippers! Don't get me wrong, I LOVED LOVED Chuck and Blair and Chair,,, BUT we have already seen them scheming, falling in love, and out of it.. making sweet love, hating each other, having meaningless sex, then coming to terms with being friends.. WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SEE????
I don't care of the writers make Chuck n Blair endgame.. or whtever.. to please the Chairios. But before that happens, we absolutely NEED DAIR!! We need to see the dynamic when Dan n Blair get together. I want to see how they fight, how they make up, how they come to terms with the social gap in between them, how "they" affect Serena and others! OMG,, Dair is soo much unexplored potential!
And PS: Dan is the nicest and sweetest guy in Gossip Girl world! Blair needs to get with him ALREADY!!

I hate what they did with Dan's storyline in this episode. I think Blair was SO insensitive to yell at Dan like that saying that she doesnt like him as anything other than a friend, if that. THAT WAS SO MEAN!!! After Dan has been there for her through everything...he could have been straight up with her and been like "hey its your fault for sleeping with chuck own up to your mistakes and tell the truth" BUT HE DIDNT BECAUSE HE IS NICE AND ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HER. She should have AT LEAST been there for Dan and then later explained nicely that she only likes him as a friend. It's ridiculous. PLUS i NEVER hear Blair asking Dan about his problems....it's always about her her her. Well soon everything is going to blow up in her face and then who is she going to run to.....
and couldnt the writers have just made the book confess dan's love for blair? i mean i know they love OMG moments (like making everyone wonder if they really did have sex) but that was just idiotic.
Serena deserved

on the whole rufus thing:
dan knows very well that rufus and lily truly love each other, everybody on this show and everybody watching it knows that and considering their history and all he can't possibly really think what he wrote. that description of rufus was purely for the book because dylan hunter is so judging and dick-ish. from what i gathered, any other portrayal of rufus would've been out of dylan's character.
it's true though, that wasn't a nice thing to write and it must be hurtful to read but i do feel that rufus eventually should understand artistic license, as dan said. i still felt bad for him, poor guy :(
and we all should keep in mind that dan never intended for anyone to see his work. writing something just for yourself and writing something well-knowing that anybody will have access to it someday are two entirely different processes.
ps i LOVE dan's hair :D
Chair
October 18th, 2011 10:35 PM
im upset at dan because he had a chance to not publish his book. but istead he released it. he did it for the fame and the money. obviously what he said about everyone he thought was true, you can obviously tell. he made a mistake, he cant take it back. he should be ignored, because what he did was harsh, it may say fiction, but it actualy was kinda non fiction. dont try to tell me its not at all because the scene between dan and serena just proved that his opinions of them all are true. dans a jerk.

Latest news/spoilers from Kristen from @eonline is that Louis is DEFINITELY the father of Blair's baby (although this latter got contradicted from J.Saffron, but best not to believe him as he tends to lie).
P.S I better not hear any losing baby crap even though it is a fictitious show because it is a awful thing to say.
What was your favorite quote from the episode?
It's been a while since Gossip Girl uttered something make sense, so I'm giving it to her this time, "Let's hope they've actually read the book and not judged it by its cover". At least, she's trying hard.
What surprised you most about Dan's book?
The portrayal of Serena as Sabrina. I'm as offended as Serena by how Dan wrote about her. Seriously, that's the way you write about your first crush? Shallow, party girl? Dan's a horrible guy.
Who did Dan sell out hardest?
Serena and Rufus. The way he wrote about Serena is horrible but Rufus? Washed up artist who married for money? WOW. Dan. Just WOW!
Most difficult to believe: Dan being #4 on Amazon, no one besides Chuck bothering to read the book, or Serena's reputation being hurt at work over a fictional character?
Dan being #4 on Amazon. Surely that kind of book will only attract young adults, so there's no way it could end up being #4 on Amazon.
Everyone hates him now, but wh

This was a hell of an episode! Seriously amazing!
Penn Badgley brought his A game, it was off the charts.
I think everyone was a big hypocrite about the book, what with them not even reading it, and everyone completely overlooking the FICTIONAL part of it all...
Anyway, hot, albeit fictional, Dair kiss was super hot, and I doubt they are done with it. If anything, it's only just starting and I can't wait to see more!

Four episodes of Single!Chuck and Duck have made me enjoy his character more than four seasons of "The Chuck & Blair Show: Haven't Our Fans Told (Verbally Attacked) You? We're Inevitable". Even though I'm quite confident that they'll be endgame, it's refreshing to see them have such little interaction. Almost makes you forget that they'll be redeeming Chuck and sending him back to Blair in no time, no matter what characters they'll have to make OOC in the process. I'm sure Louis, who is quite nice, will end up the villain. Or maybe Dan, who actually loves Blair, will do something so terrible it will have her running into Chuck's open arms. Ugh.

Am I the only one who noticed the look on Blair's face when she was reading the sex scene from "inside"? That look didn't say disgusted or angry that was a look that says "Oh thats nice..." why has nobody mentioned that look yet?

what why is everyone hating on louis! i like that he's french... i like his accent! p.s chuck would be SO much hotter if he kept his brittish accent.. just saying, i think he's pretty talented to act as an american..
anyway i do agree that as much as i liked louis i think it is time for the bombshell to drop.

Everyone above still thinks that Chuck and Blair are destined to be together.... You have got to be kidding! I used to be a major Chair fan and after staying a loyal viewer and recently rewatching Season 4 -- I keep wondering if the still-existing Chair fans are watching the same show. With all the respect that I can give opinions... I honestly LOVE, LOVE Dan and Blair and really, really do think that they are soulmates. DAIR is the next step in Blair and Dan's lives. I still believe that romance is in the cards.

Everyone is hating on Dan, but I kind of feel bad for him. What he did to Rufus was an absolute low, and I didn't like it, but hey the other characters have gotten away for so much and this is kind of karma, I guess. I'm not a Dan fan, in fact he annoys me most of the time, but one thing is he's brutally honest and that makes him a dick at times. But he hold other responsible and doesn't take their BS. Serena is Serena and she always gets her way. Dan finally calling her out is right, she doesn't care what others say. No matter how much she thinks she is a saint, she's far from it. If he put all the characters on a pedestal, that just makes them even more worse. As if they all don't believe they are saints already. Besides Chuck, in my opinion, most of them don't recognize their flaws and they try to be better but old habits creep up. Maybe this novel will cause them to face their flaws and grow up, like Chuck. Honestly, we don't know enough details of the novel to judge. I'm pretty ne

OMFG WOULD EVERYONE PLEASE LAY OFF DAN'S/PENN'S HAIR!!!
Dan is my fav character - so it's nice he actually got an episode dedicated to him sort of.. as for everyone's DRAMATIC reactions to his novel - i think they were OVERREACTIONS. seriously - if they really cared about dan they would never have left him alone.. p.s he is lonely boy now considering, vanessa, jenny AND eric have left the show. looks like the upper east side is full of snobs really. no one gives a shit about anyone. if the writers have their way they're going to screw dair over AGAIN. the movie idea is completely stupid, because it's just like a copy of one tree hill and a ploy to make Derena a couple again. SO over them. A little birdy also said to me that blair runs away from her wedding back into chuck's arms.. of course, why would this not be the case. another chair reunion as the writers say. this is like watching joey and dawson again and again - thankfully we all new she belonged with pacey.
i do think it's crazy that blair has louis,
