Dangerous Liaisons/Cruel Intentions/Gossip Girl

Never underestimate the power of the innocent. We have seen the story before; bad girl dares bad boy to deflower the "virgin" (or in this case the socially enlightened one) and then humiliate her for the hell of it. Bad boy then seems to fall for said virgin and bad girl gets mad and retaliates. When the bad boy is Chuck Bass anything is possible.


Blair decides that Vanessa needs to be taken down a notch or two (Dear Vanessa, never try to blackmail the Queen) and calls in the big guns (or Chuck Bass). Chuck falls in love with the building Vanessa is trying to save (and likes who he is with Vanessa) and Blair gets pissed. Blair then exposes Chuck for the fraud that he is and Vanessa storms out. Somehow Chuck wins the bet (or Blair is just horny) and arrives to collect his "prize". But wait, Chuck walks away from Blair in bed. Does this mean that he no longer wants the Queen B or is he just getting her back for making him wait? Only time will tell.



On the Humphrey front; Dan discovers that Nate is living in his seized house (you would think that if the Captain cared he would come back) in a sleeping bag. Nate moves in with the Humphrey family? As for Serena, well it was a tame week. She makes a scene in front of the reporters at Bart and Lily's party. Oh and little Eric has a boyfriend.

See you next week...and when will we get a glimpse of that body bag? XOXO

Gossip Girl - Fashion Week

Gossip Girl is totally getting back into the groove and this most recent episode about Fashion Week really turned up the bitch meter to an all new level. I cannot decide if I like the new Serena (new attitude not new person) but she certainly makes things interesting. Also, Dan and Chuck as friends not real believable but entertaining and a little sad.

This week began with Blair prepping to get back to the natural order of things by bribing the minions with front row seats to her Mom's fashion show. Serena still stole the spotlight and Blaire was left wondering how to re-gain her throne. In a strange spurt of bitchiness (mixed with hurt feelings) Blair almost ruined her Mother's show and in the process lost Serena as an ally. Serena has decided that she always "held back" for Blair and maybe it is her time to "shine". Maybe so Serena but you must get a better pose for the photogs. Yours looked like old Paris Hilton before she became so desperate.


As for Check and Dan; with Nate out of town Chuck seemed a bit lonely. Enter Dan on a mission to get outside of his "comfort" zone and see the world from another view. After drinking too much and getting "kicked to the curb" (literally) by Chuck; Dan goes back for seconds to find out what makes Chuck tick. He finds out but in the process makes an enemy when Chuck realizes that Dan is using him for a story.

Chuck vows revenge on Dan, little Jenny and Blair are fast becoming friends, Serena is Queen Bee with an attitude and Nate and Vanessa...well they weren't really missed. No new episode for two weeks (what?). But when we return, college visits. XOXO

Gossip Girl in the Dark

Amidst the hype that was last nights episode a couple of interesting things happened.

Chuck Bass admitted (freely) that he cannot get it up for anyone but Blaire at the moment. As Serena compared her best friend to Drano (and told Chuck he could not clean himself out with Blaire) we all knew that it was downhill from there. Chuck attempted to use the blackout to his advantage and even used his "fake" English accent to make Blaire believe he was really the Lord but the lights came on and Chuck was left royally f***ed (not literally).


Dan and Serena ended up in an elevator and had to finally discuss their issues. The issues being that neither one can compromise enough to fit into the others world. So the elevator doors opened and the relationship is now over although they both still love the other (?). As we all know this is far from over but we will watch the parade of useless guest stars that Dan and Serena have to date before realizing that they are in fact perfect for each other.


Finally, Nate has become a gigolo (Dan's word not mine) and after coming clean to Vanessa, Nate sees a light at the end of the tunnel. But no, like every other man (on television anyway) Nate cannot keep his mouth shut in bed and tells the Duchess the one secret that cannot get out; where his father is hiding. The Duchess uses this information to get rid of Vanessa and to keep Nate as her own little boy toy.


Next week the kids (?) are going back to school. You know you love me. XOXO
