   To Gwenivere:
   
   Husband? Future? Are you friggin' serious?! They are teenagers in HIGH SCHOOL for Pete's sake, not 30 year olds! Goodness, girl, this isn't One Tree Hill or The Notebook, or something! It's freaking Gossip Girl!!!!!! And if Chuck Bass settles down, then he won't be the bad boy we have to grown to love!

   Ok most people on this forum are sooo stupid! If B and C becomes a couple, then what's next? Also, you have to remember that Chuck said that it would be weird for him to be in a relationship ("Come on- Chuck and Blair at the movies?"). After all, he's Chuck Bass- the bad, perverted guy! If they became a regular everyday couple, then the show would get boring, then cancelled. Also, you have to remember- this is Gossip Girl, not The Notebook. On the Upper East Side, there is no lovey-dovey, "happily ever after" crap. This is a drama, not a romance. Plus, the characters are rich, spoiled teenagers. They're looking for sex, not romance. You "fans" who are looking for all that romantic mushy stuff need to go watch some other tv show (like One Tree Hill), not GG. I personally like how everyone is pairing up with each other and guest stars, because it keeps the show fresh, interesting and dramatic, and it makes it feel so UES. Who likes a boring tv show with boring tv couples? Oh yeah, not me! So those who hate GG the way it is are not true fans and need to stop watching the freaking show!

   I agree with one of the previous posters on this threat - the scene in which Nate and Blair were talking about the past made me a little teary. Sure, people can argue that they're just old friends going through some good times but it's obvious that the conversation made Blair forget about the bad times she went through with Nate and brought back a lot of good memories. She wants to relive those memories, back when she was in control and everything was 'perfect'.
   
   I do not hate Vanessa, but I have to say that she is by no means a good match for Nate. If she grows up to marry Nate, it would be like putting mixing oil and water. Vanessa comes from a carefree and relaxed background while Nate strives to be appreciated by his Grandfather and values family tradition. Like Gwenivere, I agree with the fact that Blair would be more of a suitable partner for Nate, as she seems to value the same things. Together, they would do and enjoy the things rich people enjoy doing such as upper class social gatherings and functions; plus Chuck would be too busy running his company and fighting off temptations.
   
   I knew Blair wouldn't forget Nate, they were together for a long time, from a very young age. It's very hard to forget your first love. But unfortunately, I doubt they're going to last. It's obvious that the Chuck/Blair couple is winning a majority of fandom and raking in the cash; so it's likely they'd wind up living a happily ever after ...unless the writers be cruel and make do the classical, "I love you both! I can't pick! Let's all just be friends". Let's just hope that doesn't happen...

   kimmie, i know you can write.. so it only follows that you can read. scroll through this thread. it's obv there are LOTS of people who luv Blair with NATE.
   But it's ok, you can go on living in denial. I mean, it's enough that you have to see Nate&Blair making out every episode until the end of this season :)

   What the hell? It’s like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong in this one episode. Some of the best parts were only the funny ones like when Serena slapped Dan, when Lily read the napkin and said something like “get two for one Friday special” and when chuck said in the beginning something about licking Blair. Plus I found it entertaining when Chuck and Serena showed up at Blair’s house to find her but Dorota won’t say anything about her.
   
   Other than that I found it to be a real disappointment. Too much Nate and his family. They are soooooo boring. I can’t believe Blair slept with Carter. I am just glad he is gone but something of course tells me he will be back.
   
   Nate and Blair? Just hearing them together is bringing back all the horrible memories I have of them in season one and it also reminds me of how much I hate Nate because he broke up Chuck and Blair in season one.
   
   In this episode, there were like so many times I wanted to yell at Chuck to run after Blair. I thought the scene of them in the library making out was very HOT!!! But then Chuck back away because he said this isn’t the Blair he wants. I thought him doing that shows how much he loves Blair, but then again Blair ending up with Nate in her bedroom.
   
   I just hope to God, Nate and Blair were just sleeping in he bedroom and nothing more because I know will be devastated, all the other Chair-Fans will be devastated, and Chuck will be crushed. I can’t believe Nate and Blair are getting back together.
   
   No one wants Nate and Blair to get back together because Blair and Chuck are meant to be together and Nate…Well I don’t care for him at all. I rather have Nate with Vanessa because as long as they stay away from Chuck and Blair I will find within myself to somehow put up with them.
   
   Seeing nest weeks promo is getting me to look forward to it because apparently Chuck and Vanessa are hooking up. I am just waiting for all of this madness to end for my favorite couple ever to be together; Chuck and Blair.

   Can I just say that this was the best episode I have seen in a looong time?! This was definitely back on track to the old GG eps that made me fall in love with the show in the first place.
   
   Nate and Blair have much better chemistry than they did in season 1. Maybe Chace Crawford has matured as an actor, but something has changed for the better. All I can say, is that I loved the interaction between them.
   
   I'm glad they set this up so we get to see the old Chuck again. I miss him. The Chuck that was an asshole and would tear down anyone who stood in his way. It's just too bad it has to be Nate in his warpath...
   
   There are a lot of different shippers on this site. With that said I have to address two main parties. N/B vs C/B. I don't know why there are so many bad words said between the two camps. Nate and Chuck both have their faults and we could rant for hours on who is better suited for Blair. But that right there is the common factor. Blair. No matter who you are shipping for, you are ultimately a Blair fan. So it really comes down to, who can give Blair the future she desires while also fulfilling her emotional needs. Blair is sensitive. She might be tough on the outside, but she has a very soft heart. Chuck might give her great sex(he's had enough practice), but that doesn't mean he would make a great husband. Nate is more sensitive like Blair. Sure he has fucked up, but Nate is never evil. Plus, now his family wants him to be a successful politician, which would suit Blair's future plans. Chuck will be running a worldwide company, which doesn't leave him much time. Not anywhere close to the attention that Blair needs. (Remember Bart?? He was never available) I don't care who Blair ends up with as long as she ends up happy. But the way this series is going, it looks like she might end up like Catherine from Wuthering Heights.
   
   I also have to address the problem of Nate cheated on Blair and then didn't really want to be with her anymore. Nate was with Blair for five years and they never had sex. Sometimes people who have been together for a while want to know what they are missing. We still don't know exactly what lead up to Serena doing it with Nate. (Which reminds me, will we ever find out what the hell Serena was like before she left??? They constantly reference it, but they never elaborate.)We can't draw accusations about what we don't know about.
   
   Lastly, Dan was awesome in this ep. Seriously had the best one-liners. Very pleased about that. I was starting to dislike him.

    Oh my, I've seen it and it was a sad one. But clearly, when Chuck is going to have to say it..he is forced everytime. 'You know what to say', 'You have a good heart, give it to somebody who cares'. Like he has to be reminded over and over and that part makes me rethink it every time.
    
    I loved Blair and Nate in this episode. Though, I do think Nate belongs with Vanessa. They are lovely. Sadly, he treats her this way, just to look good for his family. If family don't stick by you in good or bad times, I would've chosen someone who did.
    
    The whole 'Do you remember the first time you saw the real me'thing was very good. What Chuck said made me melt! Honest, sweet and showing he loves her so much!
    
    I'm actually glad Nate brought Blair to her normal self. I loved their talk and yeah, I don't mind seeing them for a while. After all..it won't last a lifetime.
