I enjoyed the episode - especially evil louis -- but really how stupid was blair, she seriously thought louis would forgive her after EVERYTHING she's done to him. Serves her right. I love that this will shake things up - in the mean time can't wait for more of G's schemes.. couldn't care less about Lola/real charlie -- how does nate even know her? don't remember seeing the explanation of how they met.. would have liked to hear dan's vows to blair after all the hype... and i LOVED B asking to see Cyrus.. and Elanor asking chuck to stop the wedding. I can't wait for the dair scenes at dairport and I'd love a dair wedding but considering all the chair history I just can't see it happening, or at least happening the way it should, if that makes sense.
With Blair, I just want to see her happy and if it's with Chuck or Dan, fine. If it's with someone else entirely, I'd be fine with that too. Because she's our darling and we love her so much. I just really don't want Derena to get back together.

I have to admit I love this little four-square relationship Blair has going on with Louis, Chuck and Dan. Bring Nate back into the mix and it'd be even better. LOL. I don't want to see Nate wind up with Serena.

There is no way Georgina is the original GG. I think she's trying to take over now that GG has taken a break. Georgina never lasts for too long so I assume that she'll try to be the new GG which will in turn bring the original GG out of hiding and get rid of Georgina.

I really liked the comments bringing us back to first season. I like Nate commenting that he's on the way to the wedding of a girl he spent half of his life assuming he'd marry.
While I want Chair to be end game, (I absolutely love watching him chase after Blair again like he did in the first season), I definitely want to see Dair happen for a while. I love them being BFF's but I definitely want a little relationship to happen as well. I can't say I hate Louis surprisingly. I can see the attraction to him and I LOVED the scene at the end when he told her it's all business now. I can't blame him, he was just humiliated at his own wedding! Can you blame the guy? He's still in love with her but he's just royally pissed right now. No pun intended.

Blair should have made up her mind and not messed with people. Or Better yet spend time in independence while deciding what she wanted!
I believe Chair is endgame, Dair bffs, Derena ( they didn't grow up as bro and sis and they share no genetics so I personally don't think its gross) and Charlie nate's version of Serena lol.
I definitely thought there's something more to the whole G being GG, I think there is a secret mastermind!

I used to like Blair, but the way her character has been written lately, I think she deserves everything she gets. Am I the only one who gets Louis? I definetly don't want him sticking around, but I understand his character. A woman that he was in love with, who he was willing to fight with his family for, told another man on their wedding day that she loves them! Not to mention the whole 'I could learn to love Louis!' Nobody liked to be someones back up, and nobody deserves to be made to think the object of their affection cares when they just could 'maybe care someday'. Wouldn't you get angry and want to hurt that person as much as they had hurt you? Blair played Louis from the beginning, now he feels that he should dictate the end!

Wow, I actually agree with almost all of the round table comments this week. I thought Chuck and Blair's first scene together was beautiful (although the fact that Blair still isn't making any sense took away from it a little), loved Chuck/Eleanor, Serena being awesome, and actually I loved the Blair/Louis scene at the end (Louis is like 100 times more interesting when he's bad).
I think my favorite quote was Chuck's: "I already have. She's standing right in front of me."
I do agree that they have to actually do something with these two though, I'm getting annoyed watching them just swim in tortured circles episode after episode. I'd love it if Eric's prediction were right on the mark, and they had a hot, steamy affair. Let's be honest, GG has been seriously lacking in sexiness recently.

I think Blair is too scared to divorce Louis or have the marriage annulled. Louis is in an ultimate power position and could easily threaten her with hurting Chuck or Serena or anybody she cares about really. He is in a position to take everything away from her!

Just wanted to throw this out there. Blair was married in NY, the marriage license was likely obtained in NY. Therefore, Blair can easily seek an annulment (the marriage wasn't consummated), because NY allows for one spouse to seek annulment of the marriage. She doesn't need Louis' permission (therefore, it isn't over when he "says it ends.") to end the marriage legally in NY (for the Catholic Church, that's another thing :-p)

This episode wasn't all that surprising...
We all know GG is a heightened reality show, but Louis is part of a royal family. Back in the days, they'd probably have killed or exiled Blair so she couldn't be a part of the royal family. So, the Louis striking back was actually WAAAAY long overdue. Blair can't expect her cheating on Louis and never properly apologizing for it to not come back and bite her in the face.
Oh well, as long as there's more Georgina, this show might still be worth the watch.

I love Eric's comments about Dair and Chair. That's exactly how I see it: Dair are platonic besties and a Chair affair is coming to our screens shortly. Here's hoping we're right!
For me it's all about chair. I hate that they are being kept apart. Someone needs to knock some sense in Blair and get her to go back with Chair. I'm not into Dair. I hate the idea of Dair. I like them as best friends but nothing more. Please bring Chair back together. Their chemistry is off the charts and they are perfect for eachother. Dair = Friends. Chair = Soulmates.

I am not thrilled with the writers dragging Blair back and forth between Chuck and Louis. It's made her as annoying as Serena was in previous seasons when she could never make a bloody decision. Blair is my fave but I could slap her silly this season. I really would like to see Dair happen and last but not at the moment. The storyline isn't in the right place. I think also the argument that she wouldnt do it to Serena is flawed. I think if Serena saw a real love between the two she would accept it. You do that for your friends. However if the writers plan to make Chair 'endgame' then they should leave Dair as they are. Don't ruin their friendship. Can't see Chuck though being happy with Blair having Dan as her 'go to guy'.
Savvy
February 1st, 2012 10:35 AM
Stuff this chuck needs to keep fighting for Blair crap he has done time after time I say let her go be with Dan.
Chuck is losing his spark moping after Blair who certainly doesn't put his happiness first.
How can Dair fans be happy with their plot, he's not her true love, she picked Louis over him before she realised how stupid she had been, if he gets into a relationship with her now he really has no respect for himself but then he is the biggest loser on the show.
What will happen is she'll get with him, he'll always be worried she doesn't love him the same, he'll get jealous and resort to underhand tactics to get chuck out of the life. She'll sleep with chuck behind his back as she has done with everyone else and bam it'll end without even their friendship which is worth watching!
And if she does that to Serena well what sort of friend is she. I'm hoping we've turned a corner with these mediocre storylines revolving around Blair triangles and fairytales xoxo

I actually felt at times that I shouldn't especially after the hotel incident, Jenny and Raina because I would never want any woman to go back to a relationship that exposed her to that much pain. But I just loved them together. However I am now seriously bored of it. It should have been the end at the end of S4 when Chuck let her go. The writers should have ended it cleanly. Dair has piqued my interest because I love their dynamic. It's fun, snarky and sweet. Makes me smile when theyre on screen together. Chair doesn't do that for me anymore.

I love all this flashbacks, incluind the songs, but the best flashback was when Blair is in tje car look to do window, the was just the way the Serena in the first season, and also when Serena is in the ladder and Dan look at her but is not the same way the he look before... and I like that. Finaly Dan get over Serena... And I hope that now be forever.

...The whole "I can't be with Chuck because I have a deal with God" story is just laughable. I quote Blair:
“Signs are for the religious the superstitious and the lower class”
And the priest of Monaco it could not be more obscure. Seriously get new writers or end the series as this is just getting worse. So sad as I once really liked it.
PS. A hint to the writers: if you just had two huge royal weddings in television (and one of them was in Monaco) use what you see!

This episode was terrible. First of all: Never ever would a prince get married in another country other than his kingdom. Blair's hair looked just wrong for a royal wedding. Her hair has not been looking good for at least 3 episodes. The whole episode reminded me rather of an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful - it was just tacky. Everyone knows that you can annul a marriage so shortly after therefore it was just stupid of Louis to tell her an hour later (plus: Blair's father is an attorney!!!)Bad, bad storyline and no accuracy. Serena just seems plain stupid like she took Valium and her brain works slow. She is pretty but shallow and boring without the drinking and sleeping around...
