I didn't find Blair's seduction that "seductive". Maybe because she was talking about food, which personally I don't find that sexy. Oh well.
I also don't get why she was mad at Chuck. She wanted him to kiss her... he did. Was he not supposed because you're engaged? Frankly, not his problem. Don't go asking for kisses when you don't want them. It's obvious she still cares for him, but this plan was just moronic.
And I realize Chuck kissed her to set her free. But even if he didn't (just kissed her instead) I wouldn't see any wrong in his actions.
And how does Diana seem to be EVERYWHERE at this party? A lot of work for one ditzy manwhore. I love how she manipulated the two most stupid characters on the show. Haha.
How desperate is Serena lately? Ooh guy on street! He looks okay! I am going to ask him out. Do I know him? No. Do I know anyone that knows him? No (Well Chivy, but she doesn't count because he knew Ivy not Charlie). Seriousy for a girl with money you'd think she'

That was the worst episode of GG in a long time. Everyone was out of character and there was way too much focus on Chivy and the Cougar.
The best episodes were the first few with the Dair moments. It's gone downhill from there.

Hello peeeps,
man i've missed you all, finally finished my exams and essays!
I actually really liked this episode, it brought a lot to the table but yes i do agree that while it did have some things that could have gone better, like dan's scenes and that Ivy didn't realise what Nate was wearing compared to her ex-bf.. the dorota and chuck scene, the fact that blair tried to manipulate chuck and S telling her to let things B and the bombshell at the end of the ep about diana really wanted me to see next weeks ep. plus there's going to be more dan and duck and the end of blouis possible (although i liked blouis - they were cute and different, i think it is time now for soemthing to actually shake up their relationship from the perfect couple). And I want the secret of her the father of blair's baby out!! i think the OMG moments have been taking too long in this season but I am really psyched, this season has gotten fairly good even if it's not like it used to be. as for dair i'm not s

I have loved gossip girl since the very beggining. And when I say I love I mean beyond obsession. After 5 seasons the writing isnt as amazing but every show gets that way( The OC, Beverly Hills 90210, The Sorpanos and many others) There are flaws in every episode but theres also postives about each episode as well. The writers cant please all the watchers. And instead of focusing on the negativity they should find things to appriciate such as: the gorgeous clothes, beautiful cast and NYC backdrop, the fact that Vanessa and Jenny are no longer on and try to enjoy whats left of gossip girl.
P.S. If the show bothers you so much then write a letter to the writers.

This has been my beyond favorite show for a while now and I am so disappointed with this season, to be nice, it sucks it is so boring. :( I have so much hope but I think instead of watching Mondays and wasting my time, I will just relive the glory episodes and watch all the other seasons :( I just would be beyond happy if It could go back to the feeling last season and the previous ones where when the promo for the next week was on I was so excited and screaming in anticipation. However this season...... No such luck :( it actually doesn't surprise me that viewership is tanking, because i, myself, am another viewer the show has lost.

I wrote a long post about this and it was sent to "moderation" and never came through. Oh well:
1. When Nate told Chuck "I have faith in you". Natie, you are a ditzy mess, but you have my heart.
2. I liked some moments, like Chuck and Blair in the pond with Monkey, Dorota and Serena trying to reason with Blair, Charlie trying to reason with Nate, Rufus pep talk with Dan (the most excited he has sound about a topic in years), and a little of Diana's plot.
3. I disliked Blair's behaviour, the leading up to the kiss (it was too rushed and I didn't got part of the seduction), Grandfather's creepy involvement in all this.
4. He's a work in progress, but I don't see him regressing back to what he was, and I don't think he's doing this to win Blair back, he has been pretty set so far in keeping her fairytale alive.
5. All of the above, because Diana had way too much luck, their schemes worked in part because things like Max appearance felt of the sky in her lap. Like many have said

So bored by the whole Chivy storyline. I don't even understand why they had to bring her in. And my ears are getting so tired of hearing her grating voice.
I love Chuck and Blair but their whole storyline this episode was forced and boring. Blair's little scheme was stupid. Why do they keep regressing her? Plus, that kiss was disappointing.
Still holding out for a redeeming episode soon. But so far, most have just seemed like fillers.
Writers, please focus on developing your main characters rather than continuously adding extraneous characters!

1. Anything between Blair and Dorota. Also, all the Macbeth connections.
2. The look on Chuck's face when Blair was goading him. He was trying so hard to restrain himself and then he kind of just attacked her face. Definitely a bittersweet moment.
3. Blair's scheme. It lacked the devious nature we've come to expect from her. You could always make the argument though that her plan was so lame because she is obviously not over Chuck and was using it as an excuse to be around him again.
4. Yes and no. I think his only lapse in bad behavior will be his attempt to stop the wedding. Hopefully. The good behavior is here to stay, but he's doing everything for Blair, whether consciously or subconsciously.
5. Ivy kissing Max. She needs to do something useful or go away.
6. I agree that the Grandfather is doing all of this to gain leverage over Nate. All good politicians have skeletons in their closets. Diana is definitely getting played, I'm just not sure how.

1. They had me at "'Phantom of the Opera' sex game". I'm still trying to wrap my head around that one.
2. I'm not sure there was anything to like in this episode. The Round Table members seem to be reaching for things to like.
3. The "masked ball" was the most disappointing thing. That was the least glamourous, least fun party GG has thrown! I'm sure it's a much better experience in person, but it didn't translate well onto the tv screen.
4. I agree with Courtney. Yes he has changed because he realizes it's in his best interest to change, but I also think he knows deep down it might help him win Blair back. So it's not entirely selfless.
5. Diana was manipulating Ivy & Max too. I guess I find it hardest to belive Iyy & Max mistaking each other for Nate & Serena. HELLO - There's obvious height differences! People don't magically shrink or grow a foot in the dark.
6. I'm not really sure what Grandpa V's plan is, because I don't really see Nate's image bei

I really enjoyed this episode love Ivy/Charlie and Nate chemistry. Dorota and Blair are always entertaining together. I am also very glad that Chuck is letting Blair go or at least trying. Totally done with the back and fourth between the two and hope the have both learned that they are completely toxic for each other. Felt bad for Dan he seems so lost :{ hope he snaps out of it soon but by the looks of next weeks preview he aint happening..

it wasnt needed - why did blair have to prove anything. she should have jus accepted it,it's not like it matters whether or not if it was real or not. she is nearly marrying louis, its silly that shes having second guesses at this time. and by her saying "this jus proves i made the right choice" it means shes basing her relationship on bass's actions instead of her own. but total chair fan - jus eeds another more romantic dramatic way to get the back together.
maybe it could have been like, she has an intimate conversation with chuck outside the empire at night, tells him that she is marrying louis officially, loves him etc. of course bass is sad what not, as she leaves in a taxi, some accident occurs at the intersection. bass runs to save her - this could also eliminate the baby of hers as i really doubt they would carry the child into next season. it could also allow a chance for chair to get close again and postpone wedding - but its just my opinion, it may be too over dramatic fo

1. anything that comes out of dorotas mouth!
2. that chuck and dorota were in cahoots and that william and diana are in cahoots! oh! and who could forget that serena hit on her first guest star this season! YAY
3. that chivy kissed nate EW. but i really am mad that this show is now the chivy and diana show, 2 characters who i could care less for and who are mega boring. i loved when the show was about the main 4, serena, nate, blair and chuck. i could tolerate it when it was the blair and chuck show but now?!?! NO WAY i almost wish jenny and vanessa were back.
4. i think so but then again he did change for good in the beginning of season 4 and look how that turned out... i do hope that he gets to a point where he is good enough for blair!
5. All of the above. i know nate and serena are dumb but really? and blair WHAT was she doing?!?! she almost turned phsyco, i don't like the new blair at all. and how could you ever mistake anyone for nate/Chace Crawford?!?!?!
6. i def. think he
I liked this episode and I'm happy that you guys are not as hard in your comments as some fans on this website. Of course there are a lot of negative things that could be said about this episode, but there were a lot of good things too. I really enjoyed watching it.
People always criticise newcomers (Ivy, Diana, etc...), but if it was only about Serena, Nate, Chuck and Blair, it would lost its charm as well. I like Ivy for example, more than I thought I would last season. And ok yesterday was a bit too much about Diana... Let's say writers just need to find a good balance. The best character yesterday: Dorota! I love how she interacted with Blair and then Chuck, saying thank you to him at the end. It's like she can see what Blair cannot because she's in full denial mode about her feelings. But it's obvious: Queen B's heart will always belong to Bass. I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Watching Blair trying to seduce Chuck was painful. I love Chair and want them to be together but Steve, that commercial could have cut her off much sooner. Like when she said "Oh, look, they even have redhots!"

This has got to be the worst episode so far in this season.
I began with having high hopes for the episode because like other Chair Fans I thought we would finally get to see a rekindling between Chuck and Blair...that was clearly not the case.
From the beginning, Charlie and Nate…no one cares! These two are boring, pointless and boring! Why was this episode centered around them more than any other characters on the show? I am really sick of Diana now because she seems to be everywhere and control everyone which I seriously doubt she can accomplish that on her own. I watch Gossip Girl for drama and scandal, not to be put to sleep. This is exactly what will happen if the Nate gets more screen time and the whole Archibald clan comes back. Enough. Charlie/Ivy leave! Diana, get the hell out! Nate, go to therapy because you seriously need some. Some of the dialogue was ridicules. Nothing was funny about them. I was just rolling my eyes every time one of them came onto the screen. I wa
