1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
Okay, hate to take the spotlight from Chuck or whoever, whatever but last night was all B in quotes. Sure there was great awesome quotes; I considered putting six up here, but I finally just decided to spotlight my three fave Blair quotes.
1 - Olivia: Vanessa, you're in love with Dan, and everyone here knows it.
Dan: Olivia, that's ... that's crazy. Come on.
Olivia: You know what, I don't have to put up with any of this. I quit.
Vanessa: Oh no you don't. I quit!
Blair: What's going on? Did you bozos have a threesome or something? [pause] Oh God! How stupid can you be? The third person's always supposed to be a stranger!
2 - Blair: [to V and O] First, I'll text TMZ. Then Gossip Girl. Oh! And the Town Crier in Nowheresville, Vermont, so your parents find out! So, what's it gonna be?
3 - Blair: I have an army to build, a school to take over, and girls to blackmail.
I changed my mind:
4 - Blair: When girls live together, sometimes their cycles sync up. No hormones, not yours or theirs, will get in the way of my cabaret!
2. Are you upset that Olivia's gone?
Well, her character wasn't very realistic, but are they ever? Characters I mean. Some are and aren't, but if you're interested you won't notice the flaws.
3. Lady Gaga's performance: Hit or miss?
Miss. I didn't know what the point was for thirty seconds of airtime.
4. Whose decision making is worse, Serena or Jenny?
Well, I kept thinking Jenny's but she hasn't really done anything yet. Serena is going to have an affair with a married man when Nate is her match. The married man is Nate's cousin. How much worse can you kick Nate while he's down.
5. How awesome is Chuck?
I love Chuck, and he's an awesome figure, but his airtime is limited and he has no storyline. Come on writers. Write something brillant. I'll write it for you if you can't.
BONUS QUESTION: Which couple would you prefer to see, Serenate or Stripp?
I love the Stripp name, it's totally funny, but Serenate all the way. They look so good together. If I can't have Serena and Dan, (They share a sibling and are step siblings and they slept together; how much more redneck can you get?) I want Serena and Nate. And Serenate. Such a romantic gesture.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
As limited as his screen time is, I still love my mother Chucker:
Chuck: [on intercom] If you two want to kiss, it won't count as cheating.
And they really need to give C some more screen time. Let him spice it up. I like when he does the right thing and he and B are great together, but I miss the old mess-everything-up Chuck. Before his dad died. And:
Nate: What are Blair and Serena fighting about this time?
Chuck: Basically about how each one loves the other more than the other loves her.
Nate: Can you even fight about that?
Chuck is totally brillant. Even I couldn't sum it up like that.
2. The threesome: Yay or nay?
I knew it would be them. Because Vanessa is totally in love with Dan and Olivia is totally not permanent. I did not like this threesome. Sorry. But I can't wait to see what happens with D and O next week.
3. Team Jenny or Team Eric?
Team Eric. The new Jenny is more spicy than the old Jenny, but the new Jenny is a total bitch.
4. Are you happy Blair and Serena made up?
Yes. Yes! I mean, how can B stay mad at S over such a stupid thing. I mean, really, someone explain that to me.
5. Will Serena and Tripp hook up? Should they?
I wanted them together last week, but I wanted them apart last night. So in this forbidable state, they should totally hook up. Think about the drama. It would kill Nate. It would kill Tripp. It would kill Seren....never mind.
BONUS QUESTION: Is the show feeling a little boring this season?
Actually, it kind of is. It's like the writers and producers focused so much on the first two seasons and high school, they weren't really prepared for college so in comes the makeshift script.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
#1
Chuck: What the hell is wrong with you?
Serena: Right now? Thirst. I need a drink. She called me a prostitute.
Chuck: Why do you think she did that?
Serena: I'm not sleeping with Patrick. You of all people know what a prostitute does.
In Chuck's face!
#2
Dan: Listen ... as much as I enjoy my current girlfriend talking to my ex-girlfriend about her ... fake boyfriend, who is also my current girlfriend's ex, you could probably get us a copy of that Fallon interview, right?
It is so like Dan to overthink it, right?
2. Team Serena or Team Blair?
OMG, Team Serena. Serena apologized like twice. Blair needs to really get over herself. Chuck has work and what happens if he leaves? She will have no one.
3. The political plot: compelling or confusing?
It was okay. The producers have pot holes to fill so they fill them.
4. Should Nate run for public office someday?
Maybe. But I don't think he'd leave behind the Van Der Bilt influence. He needs to go study some more and take moral lessons from Tripp.
5. Hardest to believe: Tripp's wife orchestrating that scheme, Olivia worrying so much about a pretty innocent story, or Jenny not wearing makeup?
Duh, Tripp's wife would be the last person Tripp would think of. And Jenny has been going down on the makeup (When I first wore makeup, it wasn't really dark or light but more to the dark than light. Then I started applying it dark which just didn't look good at all so I stick to the light, now. It looks way better). So my answer, I guess, would be Olivia's worrying. It wasn't a big deal; Dan's not exactly famous.
BONUS QUESTION: Obligatory threesome question: Who do you think takes part?
Gee, i don't know. More than likely we'll see it being Vanessa-Dan-Olivia. But I really want to see more Serena-Tripp action. Tripp seemed flirtious, if that's even a word.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. Rufus: Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift. I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
Dude, obviously the bitchy sellout Jenny. Wholesome Jenny is too sweet and innocent and sugar-y. And totally boring.
3. Did you miss V?
No. Not at all. She's gotten really stale. And now she's a liar.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Sex? Are we talking sex? In that case, I don't know. I've never sleep with Dan seeing as it's impossible because he's a fictitious character. And no matter what, Olivia is not Serena.
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?
Serena getting mad. Her clients got good PR. Why be so mad you know? It could've been a lot worse. Blair could've sleep with Carter, which technically has already happened, i.e. Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Who could make up anything as good as what's gonna happen. Which hopefully something good will happen.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. "Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift." I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
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.
3. Did you miss V?
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?
Okay, for the finale, i will give a 3 fav. quote special! The first two are for the honorable Gossip Girl, for without her, there would be no show.
1. Gossip Girl: Not so fast. You're not graduating until I give you my diplomas. Mine are labels, and labels stick. Nate Archibald: Class whore. Dan Humphrey: The ultimate insider. Chuck Bass: Coward. Blair Waldorf: Weakling. And as for Serena van der Woodsen, after today, you are officially irrelevant. Congratulations, everyone. You deserve it.
2. Gossip Girl: You wanted to meet Gossip Girl? Well, look around. I'm nothing without you. And while most high school friendships fade, it's my hope that what happened today will bond you forever. Now that all my secrets are out, you have a clean slate. Until college. Congratulations, I'm coming with you.
3. When Chuck and Blair meet at the end and kiss.
Chuck: [pauses] I love you, too. (they kiss)
Blair: Can you say it twice? (kisses, then laughs) No, I'm serious, say it twice.
Chuck: I love you, I love you, I love you. (kissing)
Okay, I lied. it was also really funny when Serena and Nate where waiting for Gossip Girl to show up and Dan walked in. Then Blair and Jenny. But what Nate said was classic.
But then again the whole episode had a ton of great quotes.
2. What took you by surprise the most last night?
I don't really know that i have a clear-cut answer to this. Probably when B was persistant with C (after the GG blast and B went to mend things; i loved when she said, "Tell me you love me.").
3. Will Chuck and Blair last?
Probably not. They live on the drama of wanting and loving each other but not being together. But then again no one thought D and S would last, but they lasted a whole season, 18 episodes. Haley and Nathan from One Tree Hill have lasted. Six seasons going on a seventh I might add.
4. If you were Gossip Girl, how would you describe the graduating seniors we love?
I don't think i could describe it better than Gossip Girl did herself. She hit it right on the nail and my fav. part was when she said: "And as or Serena van der Woodsen after today you will be officially irrelevant."
5. What is Scott's agenda?
He has come back to kill his two birth parents for giving him up for adoption. Oh, come on, there has to be a sick twist...
BONUS QUESTION: What are your predictions for Season 3?
Serena: will transfer to NYU, not find her father, or sleep with Carter. Blair: will suddenly fall out of love with Chuck or carry on an affair. Chuck: will work too much [leading B to the affair] and lose all his money. Dan: will be B's affair. Nate: will stay with Vanessa. Vanessa: will have an affair with Scott. Jenny: will turn Eric straight....not! it's like no one likes V but i don't really care for little J.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
it seems like every single week i have two fav quotes...of course this week is no different; this episode rocked.
Serena: [to Lily] When I'm a mother, I will be nothing like you. I would rather give my kids up for adoption than be like you. Oh wait, you did that.
Young Lily: I don't even know how to be a prostitute. I mean really, how much small talk is required? And where do you even go? And are BJs a must? Because if that's the case, I'm so not doing that.
2. Did Blair break up with Nate for the right reasons?
Yeah. Nate is hot and all but he hasn't gotten Blair's heart; Chuck does. Power to Chair!!
3. Will Dan and Serena get together ... again?
Hopefully. I just wanted so badly to see a D and S [romantic] scene last night, but it's like they danced together [horrible, i might add, no offense, i love them] and the rest S spent with B. But as for reality, they won't get back together with Scott in the way.
4. What did you like most about the '80s scenes?
I don't know. The clothes, the music maybe.
5. What did you like least about the '80s scenes?
i don't know. The clothes maybe...this is not my era!
BONUS QUESTION: Fill in the blanks based on the CW's season finale synopsis: Blair and Chuck finally ______. Serena is shocked by ______. Georgina decides to ______. Dan, Nate, and Vanessa unknowingly ________.
Blair and Chuck finally get together. Serena is shocked by the GG blast. Georgina decides to strip at Butter's. Dan, Nate, and Vanessa unknowingly meet Scott.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
I have two, which is normal because i always have two:
Blair: You don't sound like yourself.
Georgina: That's because I'm not.
Blair: I don't think Jesus would like that.
Georgina: You can tell Jesus the bitch is back.
Then of course:
Georgina: I gave up my old ways when I let Jesus take the wheel.
Blair: That's a Carrie Underwood song, not a life choice!
2. How are you liking the Gabriel-Poppy financial caper story line?
God, I hate it. I cannot wait to get rid of it!
3. More puzzling decision: Chuck letting go of Blair because he loves her, or Lily having Serena arrested to avoid drawing attention to the scheme?
If you love her, let her go, right? That makes sense. Having your daughter arrested? She told Rufus not to arrest Jenny. What a hypocrite.
4. Biggest stretch: Serena thinking Gabriel would simply return the money, Dan overhearing everything, or the increasingly strange Kelly Rutherford pregnancy-hiding outfits?
I really didn't notice Kelly's stomach at all this episode. Eavesdropping is pretty easy so I'll say Serena think Gabriel would just hand over the money. He might like her but that's hundreds of thousands of dollars.
5. How will Chuck react to seeing Nate and Blair at the prom?
It'll suck for him. Let's cross our fingers that their date sucks and C will come sweep B off her feet.
BONUS QUESTION: Are you excited for the '80s Lily flashbacks?
Not particularly. I'd rather just see a all-new regular Gossip Girl episode.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
So many good quotes this episode. I miss Dorota so I guess that’s why I enjoyed this quote so much:
Blair: Oh Nate, what are you doing here? I thought there was a Mets game. I saw Dorota wearing her hat.
But I’m not done with Blair yet:
Blair: [to Serena] He fell in love with you while you were roofied. How romantic!
2. Best fashion moment of the night - Chuck's basketball attire, Serena's "dress" at the co-op party, or the "OMJC" shirts at Georgina's camp?
Gosh, I don’t know. I guess I’ll give it to Serena. I don’t know how you girls just go crazy over Chuck Bass. Then again those OMJC shirts looked pretty cool, kind of like something my cousin would wear, you know with the lettering.
3. Harder to believe: The distance between NYU and Columbia constituting a long-distance relationship, Lily and friends forking over cash in minutes in this economy, or any scene involving Vanessa?
Why do you guys always diss on Vanessa? Gee. Lily and her friends forking over cash in this economy? They’re freaking rich! So I guess I’d constitute my answer to the distance thing. But then again, traffic in New York is a killer. B and N, get out there and walk like commoners.
4. Should Rufus propose to Lily?
If they want to be happy. As for me, no. I want D and S to get back together. Sure they share a step sibling but R and L getting married would seal the deal.
5. Should Blair move in with Nate?
Blair, move in with Nate? Ha! See, if you noticed Monday, N told B he loved her but she didn’t say it back because she’s obviously still very much in love with Chuck.
BONUS QUESTION: What do you predict will happen next in the Serena-Poppy-Gabriel saga?
You know what? I’m sick and tired of Gabriel. It makes for an okay side plot as long as they don’t keep him around. He’s not really that hot. And Poppy’s hair is making me sick. Oh yeah, the question: they will be taken down.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
Blair: Can you make sure they don't seat me behind Caroline Kennedy? She may be American royalty, but she's a giraffe.
Dan: Serena, we were together for a year and we didn't make it to junior prom. You're with this guy a month and you get married, so yeah, it's a little bit insulting. [Pause] I have to get back to work. You're married to landed gentry, and I'm a cater waiter.
2. In honor of Josh Schwartz and two-thirds of our panel, what was the best Jewish humor-related part of the episode?
I totally agree. Anything Cyrus said, including the humorous parts.
3. Should Nate go to Yale or Columbia?
Let’s just flashback for a minute: The last time Nate went to Yale he almost got the crap beat out of him. Nate, go to Colombia.
4. Strangest plot hole: Jenny having her Monopoly date at the van der Woodsen's and not in Brooklyn, Nate staying at the rehearsal dinner after his kiss-off toast, or Serena actually thinking she's married?
Can we give Serena some credit. She’s not as dumb as you think she is. As much as Nate should’ve just left, I’d give this honor to Jenny. Who plays Monopoly anymore let alone with their date.
5. Gabriel: Intriguing or boring?
God, he is so boring. He’s too stiff, and too tall, and way too deep voiced, in the bad way. There’s this guy I ride to school with and he has a deep voice, but it makes him all the more attractive. (Oh and his eyes and eyebrows remind me so much of Chace Crawford, but he’s attractive anyway).
BONUS QUESTION: Has Blair really changed - and is being with Nate stifling the feisty, confident B we know and love?
You know, I thought Blair being with Nate would be awesome. It sucks. Leighton sells the act, but Blair needs to get back with Chuck. Realizing this, I have just converted from Nair to Chair.
Look at Leighton and Blake's eyes in the pictures that only contain the two of them. Now, is it just me or do Leighton's eyes read [sexual] experience and Blake's read [sexual] surprise?
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
Probably when Nate went off during the play. P.S. Did anyone see Jamie's quote from One Tree Hill last night? He said, "I'd rather watch Gossip Girl-it's bad for me." He's five years old; it was hilarious!
2. Will the revelation that people hate and are out to get her transform the Blair Waldorf we know and love? What will be her next move?
Nope. Blair should already know people hate her. That was only a footnote.
3. Bigger plot hole: Blair being negged from Yale for a relatively minor incident, or anything involving Vanessa?
Why do you got to always be hating on Vanessa? Blair's being kicked off of Yale for a minor incident. MINOR!!
4. Should Carter Baizen stick around for awhile?
Nah. He should literally go back where he came from.
5. Who are you happier to be rid of: Rachel or Elle?
Elle. Hated Rachel, but Elle didn't bring any real life to the mother Chucker we have all come to love.
BONUS QUESTION: In light of all the recent Gossip Girl spoilers and photos circulating online, we have to ask: Chuck and Blair or Nate and Blair?
Can't answer it. I cannot answer this. They are both very strong couples at their height and I can't answer it.
Blair: I can't believe you'd do this to me!
Serena: Blair, please..
Blair: God, Serena, I thought we were friends!
Serena: Please, just listen..
Blair: How can I?
Serena: Calm down. Breathe.
Blair: You're wearing my underwear! I can't breathe or relax. When I get them back, they'll probably have chlamydia or worse, Dan's DNA.
Man, this sucks. I knew they wouldn't get back this season, but I want them to get back together, you know. Maybe when they're stronger and can actually make it through anything.
These are pretty funny. And yeah, they probably were pre-Pilot because it's pretty much describing the four at the beginning. How Nate cheated, Dan was a loner/loser, Serena was a liar, and Blair seemed fake. It's just pretty cool to see them like this. P.S. Chuck's probably not on there because he probably wasn't planned to be a major character.
I was going to post something but I don't think I could beat ana.'s first entry with Rock, Paper, Scissors. That was totally funny! Ryan's was good too.
Finally. I've been wondering when they'd get back together, if they do. Cross your fingers. Nate'll treat her better than Chuck did in the latter part of Chair.
1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?
I have three actually. #1 is Blair's comment: "I made friends with a family of squirrels, and had lots of time to think." #2 is the conversation in the bathroom:
Hazel: Thank God.
Blair: No, thank Blair. (Turns to Dorota) Thanks Dorota.
Oh by the way, Dorota was rocking those sunglasses when she went to the girls' bathroom. She looked like a secret agent spy or something. #3 is Dan's comment to Jenny: "I'm glad you're not wearing that raccoon makeup anymore, because you looked like one of the Incredibles."
2. Nate and Vanessa: Kind of cute, totally useless or both?
Kind of both actually. They're affectionate to each other and want to make the relationship work. But then they don't do anything really this season. Last season, Nate was (supposedly) in love with Serena and Vanessa was (supposedly) in love with Dan. This season they're boring.
3. Who acted more inappropriately: Blair for smearing Dan and Rachel on Gossip Girl, or Rachel for befriending/flirting/acting totally unprofessional with students?
omg, definitly Rachel. You first off don't befriend students. They'll expect you never to give them a bad grade or get mad at them. Flirting? Dan's what 17? And she absolutely acted totally unprofessional. And she slept with him the night she got fired? Don't like her. one. bit.
4. Is this it for Derena or will they give it a fourth (fifth? We've lost count) try?
As much as I want Dan and Serena to be together, this is it. Serena doesn't need to put up with Dan anymore. He wants her, then he doesn't, then he wants her...what is it?
5. What will become of Chuck Bass and his mystery nanny-escort?
This part of the episode (to me) was pointless. Since Chair is apart, Blair and Chuck have to have something to do other than each other. Since Blair was involved with Rachel, where does that leave Chuck? Exactly. I really don't care what becomes of them or her.
Comments by Taylor
Round Table: "The Last Days of Disco Stick"
Okay, hate to take the spotlight from Chuck or whoever, whatever but last night was all B in quotes. Sure there was great awesome quotes; I considered putting six up here, but I finally just decided to spotlight my three fave Blair quotes.
1 - Olivia: Vanessa, you're in love with Dan, and everyone here knows it.
Dan: Olivia, that's ... that's crazy. Come on.
Olivia: You know what, I don't have to put up with any of this. I quit.
Vanessa: Oh no you don't. I quit!
Blair: What's going on? Did you bozos have a threesome or something? [pause] Oh God! How stupid can you be? The third person's always supposed to be a stranger!
2 - Blair: [to V and O] First, I'll text TMZ. Then Gossip Girl. Oh! And the Town Crier in Nowheresville, Vermont, so your parents find out! So, what's it gonna be?
3 - Blair: I have an army to build, a school to take over, and girls to blackmail.
I changed my mind:
4 - Blair: When girls live together, sometimes their cycles sync up. No hormones, not yours or theirs, will get in the way of my cabaret!
2. Are you upset that Olivia's gone?
Well, her character wasn't very realistic, but are they ever? Characters I mean. Some are and aren't, but if you're interested you won't notice the flaws.
3. Lady Gaga's performance: Hit or miss?
Miss. I didn't know what the point was for thirty seconds of airtime.
4. Whose decision making is worse, Serena or Jenny?
Well, I kept thinking Jenny's but she hasn't really done anything yet. Serena is going to have an affair with a married man when Nate is her match. The married man is Nate's cousin. How much worse can you kick Nate while he's down.
5. How awesome is Chuck?
I love Chuck, and he's an awesome figure, but his airtime is limited and he has no storyline. Come on writers. Write something brillant. I'll write it for you if you can't.
BONUS QUESTION: Which couple would you prefer to see, Serenate or Stripp?
I love the Stripp name, it's totally funny, but Serenate all the way. They look so good together. If I can't have Serena and Dan, (They share a sibling and are step siblings and they slept together; how much more redneck can you get?) I want Serena and Nate. And Serenate. Such a romantic gesture.
Round Table: "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"
As limited as his screen time is, I still love my mother Chucker:
Chuck: [on intercom] If you two want to kiss, it won't count as cheating.
And they really need to give C some more screen time. Let him spice it up. I like when he does the right thing and he and B are great together, but I miss the old mess-everything-up Chuck. Before his dad died. And:
Nate: What are Blair and Serena fighting about this time?
Chuck: Basically about how each one loves the other more than the other loves her.
Nate: Can you even fight about that?
Chuck is totally brillant. Even I couldn't sum it up like that.
2. The threesome: Yay or nay?
I knew it would be them. Because Vanessa is totally in love with Dan and Olivia is totally not permanent. I did not like this threesome. Sorry. But I can't wait to see what happens with D and O next week.
3. Team Jenny or Team Eric?
Team Eric. The new Jenny is more spicy than the old Jenny, but the new Jenny is a total bitch.
4. Are you happy Blair and Serena made up?
Yes. Yes! I mean, how can B stay mad at S over such a stupid thing. I mean, really, someone explain that to me.
5. Will Serena and Tripp hook up? Should they?
I wanted them together last week, but I wanted them apart last night. So in this forbidable state, they should totally hook up. Think about the drama. It would kill Nate. It would kill Tripp. It would kill Seren....never mind.
BONUS QUESTION: Is the show feeling a little boring this season?
Actually, it kind of is. It's like the writers and producers focused so much on the first two seasons and high school, they weren't really prepared for college so in comes the makeshift script.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Grandfather: Part II"
#1
Chuck: What the hell is wrong with you?
Serena: Right now? Thirst. I need a drink. She called me a prostitute.
Chuck: Why do you think she did that?
Serena: I'm not sleeping with Patrick. You of all people know what a prostitute does.
In Chuck's face!
#2
Dan: Listen ... as much as I enjoy my current girlfriend talking to my ex-girlfriend about her ... fake boyfriend, who is also my current girlfriend's ex, you could probably get us a copy of that Fallon interview, right?
It is so like Dan to overthink it, right?
2. Team Serena or Team Blair?
OMG, Team Serena. Serena apologized like twice. Blair needs to really get over herself. Chuck has work and what happens if he leaves? She will have no one.
3. The political plot: compelling or confusing?
It was okay. The producers have pot holes to fill so they fill them.
4. Should Nate run for public office someday?
Maybe. But I don't think he'd leave behind the Van Der Bilt influence. He needs to go study some more and take moral lessons from Tripp.
5. Hardest to believe: Tripp's wife orchestrating that scheme, Olivia worrying so much about a pretty innocent story, or Jenny not wearing makeup?
Duh, Tripp's wife would be the last person Tripp would think of. And Jenny has been going down on the makeup (When I first wore makeup, it wasn't really dark or light but more to the dark than light. Then I started applying it dark which just didn't look good at all so I stick to the light, now. It looks way better). So my answer, I guess, would be Olivia's worrying. It wasn't a big deal; Dan's not exactly famous.
BONUS QUESTION: Obligatory threesome question: Who do you think takes part?
Gee, i don't know. More than likely we'll see it being Vanessa-Dan-Olivia. But I really want to see more Serena-Tripp action. Tripp seemed flirtious, if that's even a word.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "How to Succeed in Bassness"
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. Rufus: Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift. I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
2. Do you prefer wholesome Jenny or Jenny the bitchy sellout?
Dude, obviously the bitchy sellout Jenny. Wholesome Jenny is too sweet and innocent and sugar-y. And totally boring.
3. Did you miss V?
No. Not at all. She's gotten really stale. And now she's a liar.
4. How long will Dan make Olivia levitate ... if you know what we mean!
Sex? Are we talking sex? In that case, I don't know. I've never sleep with Dan seeing as it's impossible because he's a fictitious character. And no matter what, Olivia is not Serena.
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?
Serena getting mad. Her clients got good PR. Why be so mad you know? It could've been a lot worse. Blair could've sleep with Carter, which technically has already happened, i.e. Leighton Meester and Sebastian Stan.
BONUS QUESTION: Next week's promo promises scandal, backstabbing, lip service, deceit and mud-slinging. Share your predictions.
Who could make up anything as good as what's gonna happen. Which hopefully something good will happen.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "How to Succeed in Bassness"
The Taylor is back. And with the honorary more-than-one-fav.-quote--ness.
1. "Plus Lady GaGa forgot to change her hair when she came back as Taylor Swift." I about died.
2. Serena: Chuck, you might want to try to stop the police.
Chuck: Why would I stop them? I called them.
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.
3. Did you miss V?
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.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Goodbye Gossip Girl"
Okay, for the finale, i will give a 3 fav. quote special! The first two are for the honorable Gossip Girl, for without her, there would be no show.
1. Gossip Girl: Not so fast. You're not graduating until I give you my diplomas. Mine are labels, and labels stick. Nate Archibald: Class whore. Dan Humphrey: The ultimate insider. Chuck Bass: Coward. Blair Waldorf: Weakling. And as for Serena van der Woodsen, after today, you are officially irrelevant. Congratulations, everyone. You deserve it.
2. Gossip Girl: You wanted to meet Gossip Girl? Well, look around. I'm nothing without you. And while most high school friendships fade, it's my hope that what happened today will bond you forever. Now that all my secrets are out, you have a clean slate. Until college. Congratulations, I'm coming with you.
3. When Chuck and Blair meet at the end and kiss.
Chuck: [pauses] I love you, too. (they kiss)
Blair: Can you say it twice? (kisses, then laughs) No, I'm serious, say it twice.
Chuck: I love you, I love you, I love you. (kissing)
Okay, I lied. it was also really funny when Serena and Nate where waiting for Gossip Girl to show up and Dan walked in. Then Blair and Jenny. But what Nate said was classic.
But then again the whole episode had a ton of great quotes.
2. What took you by surprise the most last night?
I don't really know that i have a clear-cut answer to this. Probably when B was persistant with C (after the GG blast and B went to mend things; i loved when she said, "Tell me you love me.").
3. Will Chuck and Blair last?
Probably not. They live on the drama of wanting and loving each other but not being together. But then again no one thought D and S would last, but they lasted a whole season, 18 episodes. Haley and Nathan from One Tree Hill have lasted. Six seasons going on a seventh I might add.
4. If you were Gossip Girl, how would you describe the graduating seniors we love?
I don't think i could describe it better than Gossip Girl did herself. She hit it right on the nail and my fav. part was when she said: "And as or Serena van der Woodsen after today you will be officially irrelevant."
5. What is Scott's agenda?
He has come back to kill his two birth parents for giving him up for adoption. Oh, come on, there has to be a sick twist...
BONUS QUESTION: What are your predictions for Season 3?
Serena: will transfer to NYU, not find her father, or sleep with Carter. Blair: will suddenly fall out of love with Chuck or carry on an affair. Chuck: will work too much [leading B to the affair] and lose all his money. Dan: will be B's affair. Nate: will stay with Vanessa. Vanessa: will have an affair with Scott. Jenny: will turn Eric straight....not! it's like no one likes V but i don't really care for little J.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "Valley Girls"
it seems like every single week i have two fav quotes...of course this week is no different; this episode rocked.
Serena: [to Lily] When I'm a mother, I will be nothing like you. I would rather give my kids up for adoption than be like you. Oh wait, you did that.
Young Lily: I don't even know how to be a prostitute. I mean really, how much small talk is required? And where do you even go? And are BJs a must? Because if that's the case, I'm so not doing that.
2. Did Blair break up with Nate for the right reasons?
Yeah. Nate is hot and all but he hasn't gotten Blair's heart; Chuck does. Power to Chair!!
3. Will Dan and Serena get together ... again?
Hopefully. I just wanted so badly to see a D and S [romantic] scene last night, but it's like they danced together [horrible, i might add, no offense, i love them] and the rest S spent with B. But as for reality, they won't get back together with Scott in the way.
4. What did you like most about the '80s scenes?
I don't know. The clothes, the music maybe.
5. What did you like least about the '80s scenes?
i don't know. The clothes maybe...this is not my era!
BONUS QUESTION: Fill in the blanks based on the CW's season finale synopsis: Blair and Chuck finally ______. Serena is shocked by ______. Georgina decides to ______. Dan, Nate, and Vanessa unknowingly ________.
Blair and Chuck finally get together. Serena is shocked by the GG blast. Georgina decides to strip at Butter's. Dan, Nate, and Vanessa unknowingly meet Scott.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Wrath of Con"
I have two, which is normal because i always have two:
Blair: You don't sound like yourself.
Georgina: That's because I'm not.
Blair: I don't think Jesus would like that.
Georgina: You can tell Jesus the bitch is back.
Then of course:
Georgina: I gave up my old ways when I let Jesus take the wheel.
Blair: That's a Carrie Underwood song, not a life choice!
2. How are you liking the Gabriel-Poppy financial caper story line?
God, I hate it. I cannot wait to get rid of it!
3. More puzzling decision: Chuck letting go of Blair because he loves her, or Lily having Serena arrested to avoid drawing attention to the scheme?
If you love her, let her go, right? That makes sense. Having your daughter arrested? She told Rufus not to arrest Jenny. What a hypocrite.
4. Biggest stretch: Serena thinking Gabriel would simply return the money, Dan overhearing everything, or the increasingly strange Kelly Rutherford pregnancy-hiding outfits?
I really didn't notice Kelly's stomach at all this episode. Eavesdropping is pretty easy so I'll say Serena think Gabriel would just hand over the money. He might like her but that's hundreds of thousands of dollars.
5. How will Chuck react to seeing Nate and Blair at the prom?
It'll suck for him. Let's cross our fingers that their date sucks and C will come sweep B off her feet.
BONUS QUESTION: Are you excited for the '80s Lily flashbacks?
Not particularly. I'd rather just see a all-new regular Gossip Girl episode.
Round Table: "A Southern Gentleman Prefers Blondes"
So many good quotes this episode. I miss Dorota so I guess that’s why I enjoyed this quote so much:
Blair: Oh Nate, what are you doing here? I thought there was a Mets game. I saw Dorota wearing her hat.
But I’m not done with Blair yet:
Blair: [to Serena] He fell in love with you while you were roofied. How romantic!
2. Best fashion moment of the night - Chuck's basketball attire, Serena's "dress" at the co-op party, or the "OMJC" shirts at Georgina's camp?
Gosh, I don’t know. I guess I’ll give it to Serena. I don’t know how you girls just go crazy over Chuck Bass. Then again those OMJC shirts looked pretty cool, kind of like something my cousin would wear, you know with the lettering.
3. Harder to believe: The distance between NYU and Columbia constituting a long-distance relationship, Lily and friends forking over cash in minutes in this economy, or any scene involving Vanessa?
Why do you guys always diss on Vanessa? Gee. Lily and her friends forking over cash in this economy? They’re freaking rich! So I guess I’d constitute my answer to the distance thing. But then again, traffic in New York is a killer. B and N, get out there and walk like commoners.
4. Should Rufus propose to Lily?
If they want to be happy. As for me, no. I want D and S to get back together. Sure they share a step sibling but R and L getting married would seal the deal.
5. Should Blair move in with Nate?
Blair, move in with Nate? Ha! See, if you noticed Monday, N told B he loved her but she didn’t say it back because she’s obviously still very much in love with Chuck.
BONUS QUESTION: What do you predict will happen next in the Serena-Poppy-Gabriel saga?
You know what? I’m sick and tired of Gabriel. It makes for an okay side plot as long as they don’t keep him around. He’s not really that hot. And Poppy’s hair is making me sick. Oh yeah, the question: they will be taken down.
Gossip Girl Round Table: "Seder Anything"
Blair: Can you make sure they don't seat me behind Caroline Kennedy? She may be American royalty, but she's a giraffe.
Dan: Serena, we were together for a year and we didn't make it to junior prom. You're with this guy a month and you get married, so yeah, it's a little bit insulting. [Pause] I have to get back to work. You're married to landed gentry, and I'm a cater waiter.
2. In honor of Josh Schwartz and two-thirds of our panel, what was the best Jewish humor-related part of the episode?
I totally agree. Anything Cyrus said, including the humorous parts.
3. Should Nate go to Yale or Columbia?
Let’s just flashback for a minute: The last time Nate went to Yale he almost got the crap beat out of him. Nate, go to Colombia.
4. Strangest plot hole: Jenny having her Monopoly date at the van der Woodsen's and not in Brooklyn, Nate staying at the rehearsal dinner after his kiss-off toast, or Serena actually thinking she's married?
Can we give Serena some credit. She’s not as dumb as you think she is. As much as Nate should’ve just left, I’d give this honor to Jenny. Who plays Monopoly anymore let alone with their date.
5. Gabriel: Intriguing or boring?
God, he is so boring. He’s too stiff, and too tall, and way too deep voiced, in the bad way. There’s this guy I ride to school with and he has a deep voice, but it makes him all the more attractive. (Oh and his eyes and eyebrows remind me so much of Chace Crawford, but he’s attractive anyway).
BONUS QUESTION: Has Blair really changed - and is being with Nate stifling the feisty, confident B we know and love?
You know, I thought Blair being with Nate would be awesome. It sucks. Leighton sells the act, but Blair needs to get back with Chuck. Realizing this, I have just converted from Nair to Chair.
Gossip Girl Cast Sizzles in Rolling Stone
Gossip Girl Round Table: "The Age of Dissonance"
Probably when Nate went off during the play. P.S. Did anyone see Jamie's quote from One Tree Hill last night? He said, "I'd rather watch Gossip Girl-it's bad for me." He's five years old; it was hilarious!
2. Will the revelation that people hate and are out to get her transform the Blair Waldorf we know and love? What will be her next move?
Nope. Blair should already know people hate her. That was only a footnote.
3. Bigger plot hole: Blair being negged from Yale for a relatively minor incident, or anything involving Vanessa?
Why do you got to always be hating on Vanessa? Blair's being kicked off of Yale for a minor incident. MINOR!!
4. Should Carter Baizen stick around for awhile?
Nah. He should literally go back where he came from.
5. Who are you happier to be rid of: Rachel or Elle?
Elle. Hated Rachel, but Elle didn't bring any real life to the mother Chucker we have all come to love.
BONUS QUESTION: In light of all the recent Gossip Girl spoilers and photos circulating online, we have to ask: Chuck and Blair or Nate and Blair?
Can't answer it. I cannot answer this. They are both very strong couples at their height and I can't answer it.

Serena: Blair, please..
Blair: God, Serena, I thought we were friends!
Serena: Please, just listen..
Blair: How can I?
Serena: Calm down. Breathe.
Blair: You're wearing my underwear! I can't breathe or relax. When I get them back, they'll probably have chlamydia or worse, Dan's DNA.

Gossip Girl Spoilers: More On "The Kiss"
Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr Kiss at Knicks Game
Gossip Girl Round Table: "Carrnal Knowledge"
I have three actually. #1 is Blair's comment: "I made friends with a family of squirrels, and had lots of time to think." #2 is the conversation in the bathroom:
Hazel: Thank God.
Blair: No, thank Blair. (Turns to Dorota) Thanks Dorota.
Oh by the way, Dorota was rocking those sunglasses when she went to the girls' bathroom. She looked like a secret agent spy or something. #3 is Dan's comment to Jenny: "I'm glad you're not wearing that raccoon makeup anymore, because you looked like one of the Incredibles."
2. Nate and Vanessa: Kind of cute, totally useless or both?
Kind of both actually. They're affectionate to each other and want to make the relationship work. But then they don't do anything really this season. Last season, Nate was (supposedly) in love with Serena and Vanessa was (supposedly) in love with Dan. This season they're boring.
3. Who acted more inappropriately: Blair for smearing Dan and Rachel on Gossip Girl, or Rachel for befriending/flirting/acting totally unprofessional with students?
omg, definitly Rachel. You first off don't befriend students. They'll expect you never to give them a bad grade or get mad at them. Flirting? Dan's what 17? And she absolutely acted totally unprofessional. And she slept with him the night she got fired? Don't like her. one. bit.
4. Is this it for Derena or will they give it a fourth (fifth? We've lost count) try?
As much as I want Dan and Serena to be together, this is it. Serena doesn't need to put up with Dan anymore. He wants her, then he doesn't, then he wants her...what is it?
5. What will become of Chuck Bass and his mystery nanny-escort?
This part of the episode (to me) was pointless. Since Chair is apart, Blair and Chuck have to have something to do other than each other. Since Blair was involved with Rachel, where does that leave Chuck? Exactly. I really don't care what becomes of them or her.
