Welcome to the Gossip Girl Insider Round Table!
With our Gossip Girl forum abuzz with fan reactions, the Insider staff is here to discuss burning questions, funny quotes and hot moments from last night.
Gossip Girl topics from "How to Succeed in Bassness" include the two sides of J, a missing V, various plot holes and the major backstabbing yet to com ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
DANdy: Any time Dorota offers chess advice, while vacuuming Blair's dorm room, she'll earn this honor.
Gossip Guy: I loved all the Endless Knights lines throughout the whole episode but if I had to give an exact quote, it'd be the dialogue between KC and Serena at the end of all people. Serena claiming dating Roberts wouldn't be work and KC saying to call her after the second date. That tugged at my funny strings. Whatever those are.
Mister Meester: Blair's offer for Serena to help publicize a "members-only club SO exclusive it makes the SoHo house look like one of those dirty public schools with numbers for a name." So rough, in a hilariously condescending tone.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
DANdy: Can we see a photo of each option before deciding? I'll go with whichever Jenny wears less make-up.
Gossip Guy: Definitively wholesome Jenny. I've never been a huge fan (don't get me wrong, she's still 10,000 times better than V), but my favorite part about Jenny has always been her friendship with Eric. I can't believe she'd sell the poor kid out.
Mister Meester: It sucks to watch J ditch Eric for those losers, but watching her internal conflict is pretty compelling. At some point, the good Little J will prevail. Meanwhile, at least mean girl Queen J is making things interesting.
DANdy: Yes. Just a pinch of that stuff made me feel reinvigorated and alive! (There's gotta be at least one True Blood fan here, right?)
Mister Meester: You know, I haven't been as down on Vanessa this season as most. However, I do like how the show will leave people out (be it V or whomever) rather than trying to force them into filler. Last night's Rufus-Lily plot excluded.
Gossip Guy: LOL.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Gossip Guy: From all the experience he's gotten with Serena, I'm guessing Dan will crush Patrick Roberts' record. Of course, I don't know what an impressive levitation time would be, so let's just go with all night long!
DANdy: For however long she claims he did. Seems like Dan will just go along with whatever Olivia says, doesn't it? You weren't dating your co-star? Okay, phew! Oh, you were? Okay, no worries!
Mister Meester: How will he know? Clearly she's good at faking it.
Dan hit it last night. But what does the future hold for Bumphrey?
5. Biggest plot hole of the night: Serena getting mad at Blair when plan ended up getting her clients good PR, Blair involving Jack in any way, or Chuck's decision to have his own club raided?
Gossip Guy: Absolutely Chuck having his own club raided. I still don't think police raiding your club would ever make people want to stay in your hotel. News flash Gossip Girl, people try and avoid the cops.
Mister Meester: Jack being involved. B had to know that would backfire on Chuck. Unless that was her entire agenda, in which case it also wouldn't make sense. After what he went through with Jack, she wouldn't pull that, would she?
DANdy: Nothing about Chuck's club made sense to me. Raiding his own club, in order to beat Jack to that punch, was fine. But he and Blair acted like it was some ideally devious, productive plan that will help the club in the long run. Hard to see how half a year without a liquor license will do that.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Mister Meester: Clearly Nate's grandfather will stop at nothing to help Tripp get elected, but how Serena and Blair fit into the mix remains to be seen. I'm going to guess that Blair schemes to get back at S and pays the price.
DANdy: I've gotta imagine the scandal will involve Serena's low-cut dress; the lip service will involve the drool dripping from the mouths of male viewers and the slinging will be focused on the mud from her wrestling match with Blair.
Gossip Guy: Oh boy, mud-slinging can only mean one thing, more of Nate's lame political story line. But, OMG, did anyone else see Blair getting her face shoved in a cake in the promo? It was a brief second so I could be making this up.

1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
Dorota informing 'Mister Chuck' of how bad life is for her when he and Blair fight. Espical the line about her havng to endure 'foot bothering' lmao.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
Ok the Jenny story line is really dumb right now. First off she is queen, she makes the rules. Blair never let the other girls detirmin who she hung around with. Secondly I don't belive for a second that Eric is not as popular as Jenny,he is rich, he is Chuck Bass's step brother, he is Serean's brother and for goodness sake he is Jenny's step brother and best friend. Bring back Jenny from season one.
oh and can someone please give her a sandwitch, I was really bothered by the fact that we didn't see her at lot for the first couple of episodes. But turns out she was there, she was just turned to the side so we couldn't see her. She is way to thin!
3. Did you miss V?
Didn't even notice she wasn't there till Dan said something.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
As much as I like this couple, i'm trying not to get attached, because how loong can a relationship last with a guest star.
5. Biggest plot hole of the night: Serena getting mad at Blair when plan ended up getting her clients good PR, Blair involving Jack in any way, or Chuck's choice to have his own club raided?
Blair calling Jack, that was stupid and she of all people knows what he is like. Actually now that I think about it anything to do with Chuck and Blair in this episode was stuiped. It was like the writters sat down and said 'ok we need for them to have some drama, but not too much cause the fans will riot if we break them up.' It was drama for, the sake of drama.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Interesting....lets hope so, because it seems to revolve around Nate. He is really only fun to look at once he opens his mouth it's boring again. Oh and the Blair being pushed into the cake, I went back and watch the preview in slow motiton and it appears as if Serena and Chuck are pushing her.

im so disappointed bout the chair fight i was really lookin forward to a full on couple of episodes break up then really cute back together moment but the drama just never started! first they were still a couple at the start and chuck was being all annoying and was annoyed at blair but wouldnt tell her? wat was that about? i love wen blair and chuck fight because they are both so gud at comeback that its really enjoyable nd funny to hear them at each other, but it was a no go from start to finish and then they just neatly fix their issues with that stupid raiding the club thing? It was too easy and boring if there is going to be a chair fight at least make it gud! there is so amo with those two that it wouldnt be that hard! But i guess now im just hopin that the blair serena fight will make up for the disappointing chair one, nd if nate gets caught in the crossfire so much the better! he looks like a god but that boy really irrattes me!

Dan wanted levitation. Of course, he would be ok with whatever Olivia said!
October 27th, 2009 2:44 PM
Well, what I understood from the episode, was thar the whole Blair-and-Chuck fight from this episode was a scheme from both of them.
They had planned to do all this - including Blair asking Jack for help, becouse they knew he wouldn't give them a real license for Chuck's club and than their plan for an unforgettable night would've happen! And what about Serena's and Blair's fight: She was mad at Blair becouse she was played by both of them! Becouse they only needed her for the publicity part.
Just didn't understood the flowers!
Who were they from?
October 27th, 2009 3:23 PM
Yes, who sent those flowers? Was it Jack?

Off topic: The Round Table banner should be the head of the layout. You know, any image, even the same one, without Vanessa is gold.

I think it would be pretty awesome if Blair and Serena got into a cake slinging, food fight.
