The Tuesday A.M. Gossip Girl Reality Index

at .

Each Tuesday, the previous night's Gossip Girl is reviewed by New York Magazine and assigned scores according to its unconventional "reality index."

Check out some of the highlights (and some lowlights) from the publication's analysis of "Gone with the Will," and leave a comment with your own!

  • For once Chuck wears the same outfit for an entire episode. Plus 3, because even for Chuck, with all the sleeping in the limo, it was inevitable.
  • Sorry, sometimes these people have to be adults. Lily would be there for the reading of the will, not just her lawyer. Minus 3. Oh, and every other cousin and employee Bart ever glared at would have been there, too. Minus 5.
  • Lily has to read an old Boston Magazine in the waiting room. Somebody must have already circled all the toasters in the tree from Highlights. Plus 1.
  • Why is Jack's office in the Palace? Why is it so small and crappy? Doesn’t Bass Industries have a building? Or secretaries to sexually harass? Minus 4.
Bass, Jack
  • Chuck can't stop dropping the story about his Italian au pair making him a man. Plus 2, because a 17-year-old dude would mention that every chance he got.
  • Minus 5 because the Girls of the Steps are cruel, but they're not that cruel.
  • For once it made sense that Serena would go to Brooklyn to see Vanessa. They're not friends, so she needed an in-person appeal for the scoop on Dan. Plus 3.
  • Lily: "You don't think I've thought about this child every day of his life?" Please. She rarely thinks about the children who live in her house. Minus 1.
  • The adoptive parents don't want to meet Rufus and Lily. Plus 5, because this is the only realistic adult plot turn in the entire episode.
