Mehh I don't really ship anyone but Blair and her being happy. :)

And from the last episodes it dosen't look like Chuck has been making her feel good.

This is what I dont understand. How people can see Chuck as the reason for her being unhappy. I just feel like her insecurities are more about NYU and not fitting in there. From what I´ve seen he has actually been supportive of her and trying to make her feel better. At least that´s what it looked like to me in the end of the last episode.

Care to share your thought on that?

I just feel like it´s more about how the writers are writing them as characters. What bothers me is that they´ve made Chuck really calm and composed, and Blair seems crazy and out of control. And that´s just not how I see them.

Don't worry, the writers are doing that already(and she's withChuck, which isn't helping either.)

Not going to touch that, just going to say I dont agree.

Their storyline being horrible was all it was, IMO, i could've gotten behind it myself if it was done properly, but that's just me.

Not sure if I could have shipped them, but I certainly think I could have understood the point of CV if the storyline was better. As it stands there was no point in CV ever hooking up.

IKR? seriously, blair is being insecure and annoying not because of chuck, but because she is having problem fitting in NYU. and i really dont think they are doing this sl so chuck can rescue her, they would do it even if she wasnt with chuck, they love to picture blair as insecure and use her for comedic relief. and the only time she is being mature, IMO, is when she is with chuck, like when she gave the picturing to him. and i just saw someone saying that she is a lot more mature with dan, and i was like WHAT? using him to go to georgina's party and ruin it is very mature (rolleyes)

Yes! That´s exactly what bugs me! It´s like they are using her as a joke.

I was actually watching a few episodes from s1 yesterday and if you compare how she was then to how she is now. It´s painful :(

I have read the many post regarding Chuck and Blair and how he is being made the 'good boyfriend" while Blair is being written as insecure....I will give my take on this I see many of you referring back to S1 Blair...srsly I still saw a girl who is just the same now as she was then...she was just able to hide her insecurities batter..hear me out.....she became Bulimic..why...she wanted her mothers acceptance and also the fact that her father left her...she knew that Nate was not that into her yet what did she do?..try and tag him along llike a puppy to which he almost happily complied...then when she found out about hims ands Serena she got made with S instead fo dealing with him...yeah really secure...she clearly did not want N to leave her to look foolish so she stayed with him...No wonder she gave it up to Chuck...He was the only one she could be herself with...anyway bac to what I was saying...then again he need to always be in control...why did her 'minions have to do what she said, dress how she told them to dress...clearly Blair has control issues and the need to keep evryone under her foot...but with Chuck this was a NO NO..I saw a sad, lonely girl that needed acception from all those around her and the need for things to go HOW SHE WANTED THEM TO...and when it didn't we all cryed poor Blair....ok..

S2....If S1 was about finding ones self...then clearly S2 was making an A&% of herself...she should have MATURED by now..same ticks different men...so Chuck hurt her...why not wipe those tears and take a break from it all...NOOOOO not B she needed to slick her way through it ...Marcus...WTH...she wanted to upset Chuck but who in the end gets S^%t on her turns out he was sleeping with his step-mother..boo hoo cry a bucket of tears and take a break B...yet NOOOO she had to go into a downward spiral...caused by Chuck no less (Secure..lol..bad ass ..LOL...really were we watching the same Blair)..Carter...She knew that she was tumbling but did she try and pull herself out...NO...she was weak....the pain some of you say...I don't think so she clearly has to have CONTROL or she is nothing and with carter she had control...even if in the end she lost it...and then back to Nate...as if once was not enough....I know the second time around can be better, but come on....he just knows he wants you when he thinks someone else (his best friend) wants you...another case for lack of maturity...on bothh ther parts at least with Chuck he knew when to bow out...doesn't that say something...then to go and sleep with his uncle...(don't understand the writers take on this butsrsly...*shaking head*....a NO NO...We all look at Chuck as the 'bad Guy but look at it he knows all there is to know about B...her likes , her dislikes and when he came to the conclusion that what she wanted he wasn't ready to give he told her "maybe in the future"...for someone to Love you that much and let you go speaks volume...imo...instead of stringing you alng and eventually hurting you worse than before. The CV hook up confirmed what I said he was not ready and I'm glad now that it happened because it showed that even the best intentions can sometimes end badly...he would have hurt her more if they were together and this happened....do any of you ever wonder why it was so easy for Blair to forgive him.....LOVE....(NO again the need to be accepted) ....cause truly I feel that Blair had to come up the victor in this case, she could not have been outshined by V....again ...imo

I know that S3 has alot of ppl in this forum pissed and thus alll the bac and fort about C being the savior and the fact that some of us have even been put off now by the show.....many of us wanted C/B together....this is a RELATIONSHIP.....how many of us fight, plot and go over board for our other half during the getting to know them period and once we get them we let it become mediocre...with the exception of the bedroom...yes I would like a lil more steam in the br....but Blair to me is the one causing herself to have a breakdown...She again feels the need to be in control...thus the mini minion at NYU....she needs to GROW UP if you ask me ...I love Blair and I still Love GG....my opinion may not roll over well with many if not all of you but then againg it is my opinion...I think alot of ppl gave Blair to much credit as well as the writers they were very snaeky in their portrayal of Blair and that is why many of us saw her as Bad a##...and we want that back...yeah the girl that could B*&%h slap you, blow you out in a heart beat yet turn around and purge her stomach out.....I think not I want a Blair that does not need to hide her insecure part....one that deals with her situations head on and defeats them...and as for Chuck being her Savoiur...who do You want it to be...Serena, Dan, Nate, Jenny?....or the sane Eric....I say before we continue beating GG and each other lets take a breather and look at things from another perspective...instead of looking at the glass half empty let look at it half full...Do really want the Chuck that had Blair crying all the time or the Chuck that see her broken and all and still knows that she is a warrior ready to do battle and win.....

Soryy about the long rant and sorry if I offend anyone and their beliefs it is and never has been my intentions to hurt any ones feelings with this post..I only ask that we step outside the box and look at things differently and not one sided.
