Vanessa: Okay, so you're gonna need to get diapers, baby wipes, baby powder..."
Dan (thinking): Oh shit, i have a baby! (looks at Vanessa) Oh shit, it's Vanessa's!!
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote last night?
There’s one that I died laughing on…and I can’t even remember it! Let the show go on:
Doug: We're getting attacked by Christian conservatives.
Chuck: We have those in Manhattan?
Rufus: If he were a vampire, I could slip garlic in her waffles or something. Not that she would eat them anyway.
Vanessa: [to Dan] By the way, I'm not wearing any underwear.
I know everyone hates Vanessa, but classic quote here. Maybe her only best one. She’s never really funny.
2. Which story line did you enjoy more, Jenny's or Chuck's?
Gee. I was sub-par interested in Chuck’s. Jenny’s was the central plot point. So, yeah, I’ll go with Jenny’s.
3. Harder to believe, Blair and Elizabeth reacting indignantly to the DNA test, Damien storming out on Jenny, or Serena wearing a dress with no cleavage?
Hello, the woman’s supposed to be dead. So, Chuck wants to verify before he opens his heart to her. And on the whole Damien thing, yes, it did seem like he was into Jenny but we all know guys think with their head…their little head, that is.
4. Why do you think Lily is hiding the reason why she's seeing her ex?
I’m not sure. I don’t like predicting because I’m half the time uncertain. I don’t know what’s gonna happen, just waiting to see.
5. What do you think is Elizabeth and Jack's ultimate plan?
Elizabeth has Chuck fooled. Maybe that’s how he got the DNA sample back so quickly. Jack’s behind it. Or maybe Jack took the sample. Don’t like the duo, but they have Chuck fooled.
Ohhhh! I totally called this. The end of season 2. Because Chuck and Blair got together, I was like it's Dan and Blair. The affair. They will have an affair. They're both pretty equal in sexual experience so bam! Ha ha I sooo want this to happen!
Gossip Guy. Or Lovely Lively. Or whoever can tell me this:
I went to TV Fanatic and tried to log in but the password wasn't logging me in. So, I went to Forgot Password and typed in my email. It says that the email is not valid. So, do I have to register with TV Fanatic or what?
Okay. Gossip Guy.
All I'm saying is that you guys had this great site that was all [and only] Gossip Girl, all the time. You guys were like independent and now you're on a new site that has all these other shows. You guys, this site. It was different. Unique. No other show had a show that was like this one. And now that you've merged, it's no longer unique. No longer different.
I know you keep saying it's for the better but I just don't see it. I mean, I will still post comments and get involved in the Round Table and attempt Caption Contests, but it just won't feel the same.
S: Is that, no way, they would've stop it from coming in.
B: Wtf are you talking about?
S: The raccoon. Omg don't you see it? [both look]
B: Serena, that's Jenny. You are insulting raccoons!!
Okay. Everyone says they don't care but yet they care enough to post that they don't care. Waste of time. Then you have people who defend her actions. But whatever, right. Look at this.
Taylor Momsen was cast for the role of Jenny Humphrey in Gossip Girl which launched its pilot in 2007. Before that, Taylor was known for the movie, How The Grinch Stole Christmas from 2000. Taylor entered Gossip Girl as the sweet innocent girl, which is the way it was intended. The second season of Gossip Girl showed Jenny progressing into a more rebellious girl and the third season capped it off.
And as Jenny progressed it seemed that Taylor did as well. Taylor got good airtime from a great new show, she took it and ran. Now, innocent Taylor has turned into bad Taylor, and it seems to be taking a downward spiral. It seems that the spiral will continue until she shapes up.
Those are the facts. As for me, the Constitution gives us freedom, correct. And with Taylor Momsen, I just don't know what to think of it. I don't want to openly criticize her for not wanting to be a role model, but you get in this business and it's inevitable. I really can't choose sides in this discussion.
Stop. Just stop and take some time to connect the dots. There are two possible correct sets so pay attention. Set 1): Keith van der Woodsen is S and E's father. He dyed his hair because he began aging or because he was tired of blonde. Set 2): Keith's brother, currently unnamed, or a relative of Keith who is a van der Woodsen is S and E's father. No one has ever said Keith was their father; it was always presumed.
(Rufus has just proposed a sort of sex act to Serena).
Serena: I mean, yeah, I'm totally up for it.
Rufus: Right now? With the cameras and everything?
Serena: Ruf, hon, that's the point.
Dan: And then she just said 'I love you' back but expressionless and unmeaningful and....
Nate (to himself as Dan continues) : Oh my God! I'm with Dan Humphrey. Now I'm gonna be socially exterminated. But then again, if he won Serena with that charm...
Dan: So, thanks, man. I love you.
Nate (expressionless and unmeaningful): I love you, too.
Dan: Damn it!
Blair: So, are we gonna eat this turkey or what?
Chuck: Serena is showing no clevage.
Blair: Honestly? You didn't know?
Chuck: What?
Blair: How do you think we made the turkey so big?
(Chuck begins chowing down on the turkey.)
Blair: Wow.
Chuck (mouth full): What?
Blair: You're in love with her. It's all over you face.
Chuck (whips off face with napkin and stares at said napkin): Huh?
Blair (sighs dramatically): No wonder you're getting no airtime.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
This right here is history in the making. You see in my career of responding I've rarely given only one favorite quote. But that's not the history part. My favorite quote of the episode is the quote by the title character, our very own Gossip Girl.
Gossip Girl: Spotted: The fall of a politician and the rise of a hero. Sorry, Congressman. You've just been vetoed.
2. Whose performance was your favorite last night: Ed Westwick, Leighton Meester, Blake Lively or Chace Crawford?
Chace Crawford. Ed's a good actor, but all of you exaggerate about it being the best performance and all. Chace's performance was so amazingly awesome. Compare. Ed is always a strong actor. Chace's character was stale-ish. The question is best of the night. Chace is the winner clearly.
3. Will Rufus revenge-cheat on Lily?
No. He won't. He'll get all pissed off but he won't cheat on her. He should just smile and go along with it.
4. You're-going-to-hell move of the night: Tripp leaving Serena in the car to save his reputation, or Maureen giving Rufus the letter out of pure spite?
Omg, the girl you tell your wife means the more to you than your career has a car wreck-a car that YOU were driving. And you just bail? If you ask me Tripp isn't even a man anymore. He wins the going-to-hell move of the night. Congrats Tripp. You should really be proud of yourself.
5. Which inevitable couple are you more excited for, Serenate or Van?
Serenate! I was totally a die-hard Derena fan. Through it all. And just recently I'm seeing how perfect S and N are. N knows it. He's still so much in love with her, it's totally adorable. S just needs to see it. And she will. Come on, who's gonna sit there with you like he did. Tripp left. Get real.
6. Biggest shocker: Chuck's mother being alive, or Jenny dealing drugs?
I kinda suspected Jenny doing the dealing thing and it just doesn't come to me as a big deal. I don't do drugs but I've written about them. I saw Chuck exit his limo last night and I'm all like 'oh yeah, they said someone else is at the grave' The second she said 'Charles' I was like that's his mom! Can't wait to see the story and why Bart lied about it.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
I'm really loving Nate right now. And this episode was awesome period so excuse me for bombarding all of you with my quotes.
Chuck: I just came from a meeting with hotel security. Elevator cameras caught someone pulling the emergency stop button to have a makeout session with their boyfriend.
Nate: You just love your job, don't you?
Chuck: It was Serena and Tripp.
Nate: Don't go with Tripp.
Serena: Nate ...
Nate: Look, I know what I did was wrong. But I did it because ... ever since last week, ever since three years ago when you left ... please don't go. Please stay here with me. Please give me a chance.
And Dorota was absolutely awesome when she was talking about Vanya and then when Blair said, "Hello is the word you're looking for," then when Dorota told Vanya she was pregnant. Awesome.
Then when Tripp told S he was stalking her and Gabriela telling Dan he was in love with Vanessa that it was all over his face. And Chuck, let's just get started...
Chuck: A little Thanksgiving proclamation. You two ever play grab-ass in my elevator again, and Serena will be staying at an airport Marriott. Happy holidays.
Then when he talked to N about taking a sledgehammer to stubborn S.
And it was also great when B said the thing about not needing another Aaron Rose, and when Eric told Jenny her potatoes were bland. And lastly, sorry it took so long:
Blair: [to Serena] What are you, exactly, an 18-year-old blonde coincidence? Call me in six months when he meets his next coincidence. That is, if he even leaves his wife, which I highly doubt.
2. Was this the best episode of the season so far?
Just look up at all my quotes and you tell me what I think about the episode.
3. Should Serena have gone with Tripp or stayed with Nate?
Stayed with Nate! Gee, she really went to have an affair with a married man when it's obvious N loves her. And she again is breaking her shaky relationship with Lily, which you can't really blame L for telling her she's not welcome until she disengages herself but L should know what's going on not just little pieces her and there. And why have a short affair with Tripp when she can have Nate.
4. Do you want to see Dan and Vanessa as a couple?
I don't. Really, I don't. They'll probably end up together and all but I really just don't want to see it.
5. Will Eric take down Jenny? How will he try?
It'll probably end badly for both of them. It just will.
BONUS QUESTION: What will Maureen do with the letter?
Use it as blackmail. And it has to be something bad.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
Okay, hate to take the spotlight from Chuck or whoever, whatever but last night was all B in quotes. Sure there was great awesome quotes; I considered putting six up here, but I finally just decided to spotlight my three fave Blair quotes.
1 - Olivia: Vanessa, you're in love with Dan, and everyone here knows it.
Dan: Olivia, that's ... that's crazy. Come on.
Olivia: You know what, I don't have to put up with any of this. I quit.
Vanessa: Oh no you don't. I quit!
Blair: What's going on? Did you bozos have a threesome or something? [pause] Oh God! How stupid can you be? The third person's always supposed to be a stranger!
2 - Blair: [to V and O] First, I'll text TMZ. Then Gossip Girl. Oh! And the Town Crier in Nowheresville, Vermont, so your parents find out! So, what's it gonna be?
3 - Blair: I have an army to build, a school to take over, and girls to blackmail.
I changed my mind:
4 - Blair: When girls live together, sometimes their cycles sync up. No hormones, not yours or theirs, will get in the way of my cabaret!
2. Are you upset that Olivia's gone?
Well, her character wasn't very realistic, but are they ever? Characters I mean. Some are and aren't, but if you're interested you won't notice the flaws.
3. Lady Gaga's performance: Hit or miss?
Miss. I didn't know what the point was for thirty seconds of airtime.
4. Whose decision making is worse, Serena or Jenny?
Well, I kept thinking Jenny's but she hasn't really done anything yet. Serena is going to have an affair with a married man when Nate is her match. The married man is Nate's cousin. How much worse can you kick Nate while he's down.
5. How awesome is Chuck?
I love Chuck, and he's an awesome figure, but his airtime is limited and he has no storyline. Come on writers. Write something brillant. I'll write it for you if you can't.
BONUS QUESTION: Which couple would you prefer to see, Serenate or Stripp?
I love the Stripp name, it's totally funny, but Serenate all the way. They look so good together. If I can't have Serena and Dan, (They share a sibling and are step siblings and they slept together; how much more redneck can you get?) I want Serena and Nate. And Serenate. Such a romantic gesture.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
As limited as his screen time is, I still love my mother Chucker:
Chuck: [on intercom] If you two want to kiss, it won't count as cheating.
And they really need to give C some more screen time. Let him spice it up. I like when he does the right thing and he and B are great together, but I miss the old mess-everything-up Chuck. Before his dad died. And:
Nate: What are Blair and Serena fighting about this time?
Chuck: Basically about how each one loves the other more than the other loves her.
Nate: Can you even fight about that?
Chuck is totally brillant. Even I couldn't sum it up like that.
2. The threesome: Yay or nay?
I knew it would be them. Because Vanessa is totally in love with Dan and Olivia is totally not permanent. I did not like this threesome. Sorry. But I can't wait to see what happens with D and O next week.
3. Team Jenny or Team Eric?
Team Eric. The new Jenny is more spicy than the old Jenny, but the new Jenny is a total bitch.
4. Are you happy Blair and Serena made up?
Yes. Yes! I mean, how can B stay mad at S over such a stupid thing. I mean, really, someone explain that to me.
5. Will Serena and Tripp hook up? Should they?
I wanted them together last week, but I wanted them apart last night. So in this forbidable state, they should totally hook up. Think about the drama. It would kill Nate. It would kill Tripp. It would kill Seren....never mind.
BONUS QUESTION: Is the show feeling a little boring this season?
Actually, it kind of is. It's like the writers and producers focused so much on the first two seasons and high school, they weren't really prepared for college so in comes the makeshift script.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
#1
Chuck: What the hell is wrong with you?
Serena: Right now? Thirst. I need a drink. She called me a prostitute.
Chuck: Why do you think she did that?
Serena: I'm not sleeping with Patrick. You of all people know what a prostitute does.
In Chuck's face!
#2
Dan: Listen ... as much as I enjoy my current girlfriend talking to my ex-girlfriend about her ... fake boyfriend, who is also my current girlfriend's ex, you could probably get us a copy of that Fallon interview, right?
It is so like Dan to overthink it, right?
2. Team Serena or Team Blair?
OMG, Team Serena. Serena apologized like twice. Blair needs to really get over herself. Chuck has work and what happens if he leaves? She will have no one.
3. The political plot: compelling or confusing?
It was okay. The producers have pot holes to fill so they fill them.
4. Should Nate run for public office someday?
Maybe. But I don't think he'd leave behind the Van Der Bilt influence. He needs to go study some more and take moral lessons from Tripp.
5. Hardest to believe: Tripp's wife orchestrating that scheme, Olivia worrying so much about a pretty innocent story, or Jenny not wearing makeup?
Duh, Tripp's wife would be the last person Tripp would think of. And Jenny has been going down on the makeup (When I first wore makeup, it wasn't really dark or light but more to the dark than light. Then I started applying it dark which just didn't look good at all so I stick to the light, now. It looks way better). So my answer, I guess, would be Olivia's worrying. It wasn't a big deal; Dan's not exactly famous.
BONUS QUESTION: Obligatory threesome question: Who do you think takes part?
Gee, i don't know. More than likely we'll see it being Vanessa-Dan-Olivia. But I really want to see more Serena-Tripp action. Tripp seemed flirtious, if that's even a word.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. Rufus: Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift. I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
Dude, obviously the bitchy sellout Jenny. Wholesome Jenny is too sweet and innocent and sugar-y. And totally boring.
3. Did you miss V?
No. Not at all. She's gotten really stale. And now she's a liar.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Sex? Are we talking sex? In that case, I don't know. I've never sleep with Dan seeing as it's impossible because he's a fictitious character. And no matter what, Olivia is not Serena.
5. Biggest plot hole of the night: Serena getting mad at Blair when plan ended up getting her clients good PR, Blair involving Jack in any way, or Chuck's decision to have his own club raided?
Serena getting mad. Her clients got good PR. Why be so mad you know? It could've been a lot worse. Blair could've sleep with Carter, which technically has already happened, i.e. Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Who could make up anything as good as what's gonna happen. Which hopefully something good will happen.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. "Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift." I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
DANdy: Can we see a photo of each option before deciding? I'll go with whichever Jenny wears less make-up.
Gossip Guy: Definitively wholesome Jenny. I've never been a huge fan (don't get me wrong, she's still 10,000 times better than V), but my favorite part about Jenny has always been her friendship with Eric. I can't believe she'd sell the poor kid out.
Mister Meester: It sucks to watch J ditch Eric for those losers, but watching her internal conflict is pretty compelling. At some point, the good Little J will prevail. Meanwhile, at least mean girl Queen J is making things interesting.
3. Did you miss V?
DANdy: Yes. Just a pinch of that stuff made me feel reinvigorated and alive! (There's gotta be at least one True Blood fan here, right?)
Mister Meester: You know, I haven't been as down on Vanessa this season as most. However, I do like how the show will leave people out (be it V or whomever) rather than trying to force them into filler. Last night's Rufus-Lily plot excluded.
Gossip Guy: LOL.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Gossip Guy: From all the experience he's gotten with Serena, I'm guessing Dan will crush Patrick Roberts' record. Of course, I don't know what an impressive levitation time would be, so let's just go with all night long!
DANdy: For however long she claims he did. Seems like Dan will just go along with whatever Olivia says, doesn't it? You weren't dating your co-star? Okay, phew! Oh, you were? Okay, no worries!
Mister Meester: How will he know? Clearly she's good at faking it.
Dan hit it last night. But what does the future hold for Bumphrey?
5. Biggest plot hole of the night: Serena getting mad at Blair when plan ended up getting her clients good PR, Blair involving Jack in any way, or Chuck's decision to have his own club raided?
Gossip Guy: Absolutely Chuck having his own club raided. I still don't think police raiding your club would ever make people want to stay in your hotel. News flash Gossip Girl, people try and avoid the cops.
Mister Meester: Jack being involved. B had to know that would backfire on Chuck. Unless that was her entire agenda, in which case it also wouldn't make sense. After what he went through with Jack, she wouldn't pull that, would she?
DANdy: Nothing about Chuck's club made sense to me. Raiding his own club, in order to beat Jack to that punch, was fine. But he and Blair acted like it was some ideally devious, productive plan that will help the club in the long run. Hard to see how half a year without a liquor license will do that.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Mister Meester: Clearly Nate's grandfather will stop at nothing to help Tripp get elected, but how Serena and Blair fit into the mix remains to be seen. I'm going to guess that Blair schemes to get back at S and pays the price.
DANdy: I've gotta imagine the scandal will involve Serena's low-cut dress; the lip service will involve the drool dripping from the mouths of male viewers and the slinging will be focused on the mud from her wrestling match with Blair.
Gossip Guy: Oh boy, mud-slinging can only mean one thing, more of Nate's lame political story line. But, OMG, did anyone else see Blair getting her face shoved in a cake in the promo? It was a brief second so I could be making this up.

Dan (thinking): Oh shit, i have a baby! (looks at Vanessa) Oh shit, it's Vanessa's!!
Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Sixteen Year Old Virgin"
There’s one that I died laughing on…and I can’t even remember it! Let the show go on:
Doug: We're getting attacked by Christian conservatives.
Chuck: We have those in Manhattan?
Rufus: If he were a vampire, I could slip garlic in her waffles or something. Not that she would eat them anyway.
Vanessa: [to Dan] By the way, I'm not wearing any underwear.
I know everyone hates Vanessa, but classic quote here. Maybe her only best one. She’s never really funny.
2. Which story line did you enjoy more, Jenny's or Chuck's?

This right here is history in the making. You see in my career of responding I've rarely given only one favorite quote. But that's not the history part. My favorite quote of the episode is the quote by the title character, our very own Gossip Girl.

Omg, the girl you tell your wife means the more to you than your career has a car wreck-a car that YOU were driving. And you just bail? If you ask me Tripp isn't even a man anymore. He wins the going-to-hell move of the night. Congrats Tripp. You should really be proud of yourself.
5. Which inevitable couple are you more excited for, Serenate or Van?
Serenate! I was totally a die-hard Derena fan. Through it all. And just recently I'm seeing how perfect S and N are. N knows it. He's still so much in love with her, it's totally adorable. S just needs to see it. And she will. Come on, who's gonna sit there with you like he did. Tripp left. Get real.

Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Treasure of Serena Madre"
I'm really loving Nate right now. And this episode was awesome period so excuse me for bombarding all of you with my quotes.
Chuck: I just came from a meeting with hotel security. Elevator cameras caught someone pulling the emergency stop button to have a makeout session with their boyfriend.
Nate: You just love your job, don't you?
Chuck: It was Serena and Tripp.
Nate: Don't go with Tripp.
Serena: Nate ...
Nate: Look, I know what I did was wrong. But I did it because ... ever since last week, ever since three years ago when you left ... please don't go. Please stay here with me. Please give me a chance.

Chuck: A little Thanksgiving proclamation. You two ever play grab-ass in my elevator again, and Serena will be staying at an airport Marriott. Happy holidays.
Then when he talked to N about taking a sledgehammer to stubborn S.
And it was also great when B said the thing about not needing another Aaron Rose, and when Eric told Jenny her potatoes were bland. And lastly, sorry it took so long:
Blair: [to Serena] What are you, exactly, an 18-year-old blonde coincidence? Call me in six months when he meets his next coincidence. That is, if he even leaves his wife, which I highly doubt.
2. Was this the best episode of the season so far?
Just look up at all my quotes and you tell me what I think about the episode.
3. Should Serena have gone with Tripp or stayed with Nate?
Stayed with Nate! Gee, she really went to have an affair with a married man when it's obvious N loves her. And she again is breaking her shaky relationship with Lily, which you can't really blame L for telling her she's not welcome until she disengages herself but L should know what's going on not just little pieces her and there. And why have a short affair with Tripp when she can have Nate.
4. Do you want to see Dan and Vanessa as a couple?
I don't. Really, I don't. They'll probably end up together and all but I really just don't want to see it.
5. Will Eric take down Jenny? How will he try?
It'll probably end badly for both of them. It just will.
BONUS QUESTION: What will Maureen do with the letter?
Use it as blackmail. And it has to be something bad.
Round Table: "The Last Days of Disco Stick"
Okay, hate to take the spotlight from Chuck or whoever, whatever but last night was all B in quotes. Sure there was great awesome quotes; I considered putting six up here, but I finally just decided to spotlight my three fave Blair quotes.
1 - Olivia: Vanessa, you're in love with Dan, and everyone here knows it.
Dan: Olivia, that's ... that's crazy. Come on.
Olivia: You know what, I don't have to put up with any of this. I quit.
Vanessa: Oh no you don't. I quit!
Blair: What's going on? Did you bozos have a threesome or something? [pause] Oh God! How stupid can you be? The third person's always supposed to be a stranger!
2 - Blair: [to V and O] First, I'll text TMZ. Then Gossip Girl. Oh! And the Town Crier in Nowheresville, Vermont, so your parents find out! So, what's it gonna be?
3 - Blair: I have an army to build, a school to take over, and girls to blackmail.
I changed my mind:
4 - Blair: When girls live together, sometimes their cycles sync up. No hormones, not yours or theirs, will get in the way of my cabaret!
2. Are you upset that Olivia's gone?
Well, her character wasn't very realistic, but are they ever? Characters I mean. Some are and aren't, but if you're interested you won't notice the flaws.
3. Lady Gaga's performance: Hit or miss?
Miss. I didn't know what the point was for thirty seconds of airtime.
4. Whose decision making is worse, Serena or Jenny?
Well, I kept thinking Jenny's but she hasn't really done anything yet. Serena is going to have an affair with a married man when Nate is her match. The married man is Nate's cousin. How much worse can you kick Nate while he's down.
5. How awesome is Chuck?
I love Chuck, and he's an awesome figure, but his airtime is limited and he has no storyline. Come on writers. Write something brillant. I'll write it for you if you can't.
BONUS QUESTION: Which couple would you prefer to see, Serenate or Stripp?
I love the Stripp name, it's totally funny, but Serenate all the way. They look so good together. If I can't have Serena and Dan, (They share a sibling and are step siblings and they slept together; how much more redneck can you get?) I want Serena and Nate. And Serenate. Such a romantic gesture.
Round Table: "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"
As limited as his screen time is, I still love my mother Chucker:
Chuck: [on intercom] If you two want to kiss, it won't count as cheating.
And they really need to give C some more screen time. Let him spice it up. I like when he does the right thing and he and B are great together, but I miss the old mess-everything-up Chuck. Before his dad died. And:
Nate: What are Blair and Serena fighting about this time?
Chuck: Basically about how each one loves the other more than the other loves her.
Nate: Can you even fight about that?
Chuck is totally brillant. Even I couldn't sum it up like that.
2. The threesome: Yay or nay?
I knew it would be them. Because Vanessa is totally in love with Dan and Olivia is totally not permanent. I did not like this threesome. Sorry. But I can't wait to see what happens with D and O next week.
3. Team Jenny or Team Eric?
Team Eric. The new Jenny is more spicy than the old Jenny, but the new Jenny is a total bitch.
4. Are you happy Blair and Serena made up?
Yes. Yes! I mean, how can B stay mad at S over such a stupid thing. I mean, really, someone explain that to me.
5. Will Serena and Tripp hook up? Should they?
I wanted them together last week, but I wanted them apart last night. So in this forbidable state, they should totally hook up. Think about the drama. It would kill Nate. It would kill Tripp. It would kill Seren....never mind.
BONUS QUESTION: Is the show feeling a little boring this season?
Actually, it kind of is. It's like the writers and producers focused so much on the first two seasons and high school, they weren't really prepared for college so in comes the makeshift script.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Grandfather: Part II"
#1
Chuck: What the hell is wrong with you?
Serena: Right now? Thirst. I need a drink. She called me a prostitute.
Chuck: Why do you think she did that?
Serena: I'm not sleeping with Patrick. You of all people know what a prostitute does.
In Chuck's face!
#2
Dan: Listen ... as much as I enjoy my current girlfriend talking to my ex-girlfriend about her ... fake boyfriend, who is also my current girlfriend's ex, you could probably get us a copy of that Fallon interview, right?
It is so like Dan to overthink it, right?
2. Team Serena or Team Blair?
OMG, Team Serena. Serena apologized like twice. Blair needs to really get over herself. Chuck has work and what happens if he leaves? She will have no one.
3. The political plot: compelling or confusing?
It was okay. The producers have pot holes to fill so they fill them.
4. Should Nate run for public office someday?
Maybe. But I don't think he'd leave behind the Van Der Bilt influence. He needs to go study some more and take moral lessons from Tripp.
5. Hardest to believe: Tripp's wife orchestrating that scheme, Olivia worrying so much about a pretty innocent story, or Jenny not wearing makeup?
Duh, Tripp's wife would be the last person Tripp would think of. And Jenny has been going down on the makeup (When I first wore makeup, it wasn't really dark or light but more to the dark than light. Then I started applying it dark which just didn't look good at all so I stick to the light, now. It looks way better). So my answer, I guess, would be Olivia's worrying. It wasn't a big deal; Dan's not exactly famous.
BONUS QUESTION: Obligatory threesome question: Who do you think takes part?
Gee, i don't know. More than likely we'll see it being Vanessa-Dan-Olivia. But I really want to see more Serena-Tripp action. Tripp seemed flirtious, if that's even a word.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "How to Succeed in Bassness"
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. Rufus: Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift. I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
Dude, obviously the bitchy sellout Jenny. Wholesome Jenny is too sweet and innocent and sugar-y. And totally boring.
3. Did you miss V?
No. Not at all. She's gotten really stale. And now she's a liar.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Sex? Are we talking sex? In that case, I don't know. I've never sleep with Dan seeing as it's impossible because he's a fictitious character. And no matter what, Olivia is not Serena.
5. Biggest plot hole of the night: Serena getting mad at Blair when plan ended up getting her clients good PR, Blair involving Jack in any way, or Chuck's decision to have his own club raided?
Serena getting mad. Her clients got good PR. Why be so mad you know? It could've been a lot worse. Blair could've sleep with Carter, which technically has already happened, i.e. Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Who could make up anything as good as what's gonna happen. Which hopefully something good will happen.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "How to Succeed in Bassness"
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. "Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift." I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
DANdy: Can we see a photo of each option before deciding? I'll go with whichever Jenny wears less make-up.
Gossip Guy: Definitively wholesome Jenny. I've never been a huge fan (don't get me wrong, she's still 10,000 times better than V), but my favorite part about Jenny has always been her friendship with Eric. I can't believe she'd sell the poor kid out.
Mister Meester: It sucks to watch J ditch Eric for those losers, but watching her internal conflict is pretty compelling. At some point, the good Little J will prevail. Meanwhile, at least mean girl Queen J is making things interesting.
3. Did you miss V?
DANdy: Yes. Just a pinch of that stuff made me feel reinvigorated and alive! (There's gotta be at least one True Blood fan here, right?)
Mister Meester: You know, I haven't been as down on Vanessa this season as most. However, I do like how the show will leave people out (be it V or whomever) rather than trying to force them into filler. Last night's Rufus-Lily plot excluded.
Gossip Guy: LOL.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Gossip Guy: From all the experience he's gotten with Serena, I'm guessing Dan will crush Patrick Roberts' record. Of course, I don't know what an impressive levitation time would be, so let's just go with all night long!
DANdy: For however long she claims he did. Seems like Dan will just go along with whatever Olivia says, doesn't it? You weren't dating your co-star? Okay, phew! Oh, you were? Okay, no worries!
Mister Meester: How will he know? Clearly she's good at faking it.
Dan hit it last night. But what does the future hold for Bumphrey?
5. Biggest plot hole of the night: Serena getting mad at Blair when plan ended up getting her clients good PR, Blair involving Jack in any way, or Chuck's decision to have his own club raided?
Gossip Guy: Absolutely Chuck having his own club raided. I still don't think police raiding your club would ever make people want to stay in your hotel. News flash Gossip Girl, people try and avoid the cops.
Mister Meester: Jack being involved. B had to know that would backfire on Chuck. Unless that was her entire agenda, in which case it also wouldn't make sense. After what he went through with Jack, she wouldn't pull that, would she?
DANdy: Nothing about Chuck's club made sense to me. Raiding his own club, in order to beat Jack to that punch, was fine. But he and Blair acted like it was some ideally devious, productive plan that will help the club in the long run. Hard to see how half a year without a liquor license will do that.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Mister Meester: Clearly Nate's grandfather will stop at nothing to help Tripp get elected, but how Serena and Blair fit into the mix remains to be seen. I'm going to guess that Blair schemes to get back at S and pays the price.
DANdy: I've gotta imagine the scandal will involve Serena's low-cut dress; the lip service will involve the drool dripping from the mouths of male viewers and the slinging will be focused on the mud from her wrestling match with Blair.
Gossip Guy: Oh boy, mud-slinging can only mean one thing, more of Nate's lame political story line. But, OMG, did anyone else see Blair getting her face shoved in a cake in the promo? It was a brief second so I could be making this up.
