Every Thursday I read Ask Ausiello (here) on EW.com. This is his latest on Monday's finale of Gossip Girl.
Ausiello: One of the cliffhangers involves Georgina ... and Dan, and another Blair and Chuck. Actually, the latter is less a cliffhanger and more a itisaboutfreakingtime. (Real word. No lie. Look it up if you don't believe me!)
Does this mean that Chuck and Blair will finally get together? Does Dan hook up with Georgina? Or does Georgina know who the long-lost sibling of Dan and Serena is? Or does Georgina know that Dan is Gossip Girl (hey he is a writer)? I don't know if I can wait three more days (OK that was dramatic). XOXO

Gossip Girl - College Visits
I love Chuck Bass. I love Chuck Bass in a way that all women love something that is bad for them (junk food, wine, an occasional cigarette). Chuck has a way of being a complete asshole but yet he still (for some reason) makes you want to be in his presence. Last night was no exception.
The gang (Chuck, Nate, Dan, Serena and Blair) headed to Yale to begin the interview process for colleges. Serena was headed to Brown until Blair put her in her place and Serena could not let a dare go unchallenged. So off to Yale they went with Blair and Serena competing (again) for a spot in the freshman class, Dan trying to get into the English Department and Nate and Chuck set to experience more of the social scene.
Nate met a girl but lied about his name (using Dan Humphrey as his alias) due to the stellar reputation that his father has on campus. Dan tried to get a recommendation from someone in the English department but was mistaken for Nate (?) and tied to a bell tower. Check was absconded by a secret society and sent them to attack Dan (telling the guys that he was Nate) because Chuck is still smarting from Dan using him for a story. And Serena and Blair in their usual nice but bitchy manner were both trying to get in good with the Dean of Students.
The girl fight between Serena and Blair was hilarious and when they both decided to stay out of the other's way, we all knew that it would not last. They were nicey, nicey the next day but I am hoping this won't last either. The two are fun when they are at each other's throats. As for Chuck and his secret society; of course Chuck Bass used skanky women to get all the boys on camera doing "God knows what", so he has these "pillars of the school" in his back pocket and at his disposal now.
The only surprising thing was that Nate and Dan left campus together; Nate was upset with Chuck for sicking the society boys on Dan and decided that he would rather spend time with Dan than Chuck. Poor Chuck looked sad and friendless. How will this one play out? Till next week. 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

Gossip Girl in The Hamptons
Gossip Girl is back and I would like to say with a vengeance but alas I am unable to. Last night in the Hampton's the season premiere was a bit lackluster (kind of like a beach vacation) but some fun things did happen and left the door open for a new start in the city.
I knew that the writers could not keep Dan and Serena apart for long and they were back together in less than an hour. Who knows what this year will bring now that we all know Serena's big "secret".
This is the part that really got to me; trying to get Chuck Bass to utter the words "I love you" is against all laws of nature and should ever be attempted again. Chuck apparently was miffed that Blaire got over him so quickly (she didn't really) and then he realized that he actually does care about her (OMG shock!). Here is my appeal to the writers; let Chuck Bass be Chuck Bass. Let him lie, cheat, fornicate and act like a pompous ass because this is why we love him. No more of this wussy boy "I love you" crap.
Now Blaire has moved on to a man with a title (a Lord I think). Nate is having an illicit affair with a married woman and little Jenny has made nice with Eric and is just trying to get her designs (?) out there. Was this all enough to hook me for a second season? Yes but (you knew there was a but) don't f*** with the formula that brought me here. Keep the drama coming. Later taters (and XOXO you know you love me; had to do it).
