Blair Waldorf vs. Serena van der Woodsen: Round 12!

"The Grandfather: Part II" was ...

You knew it was coming.

Best friends forever but frequent enemies ever since we've known them, the lovely Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen are totally feuding again.

Last episode's drama looks like nothing compared to what's to come in "The Grandfather, Part II." Neither girl is without fault ... or ready to back down.

We love them both, but if you're forced to take a side, who do you go with? We're curious to see where Gossip Girl fan opinion lies. Tell us below ...

Whose side are you on (if forced to pick)?

It's always a highlight of our week. Below are excerpts from New York Magazine's reality index of the previous night's Gossip Girl, a column never to be missed.

We've posted our official episode recap of "How to Succeed in Bassness." Now, some highlights from NY Mag and its writers' nonsensical, yet thorough analysis:

• When Serena showed up at Dan's Brooklyn apartment in a red satin halter top and miniskirt, we assumed it was because she was dressed for the opening of Chuck's club. Nope! Just Serena's everyday office look. Plus 1.
• Chuck calls Serena at home. She answers on a land line. Minus 1.
• Nate has totally been reading Endless Nights blogs. Plus 1.
• What is the deal with Eric's visor? Minus 1.

• We have a few questions about Serena's job. First of all, why does she still have it? Why does she have an office? Why is she taking it all so seriously? Why does she expect everyone else to take it so seriously? Minus 5.
• Chuck says the club will have a door policy like "the Gates." Which was a nice touch, because the club scene was in fact filmed at the Gates. Plus 1.
• Lily and Rufus's handing out Halloween candy wouldn't have conflicted with them going to Chuck's party, since kids trick or treat at like 4. Minus 2.
• Oh, and of course Chuck is planning on serving moonshine, which is totally going to be the elderflower cordial of recession-recovering NYC. Plus 2.
• The writers named Endless Nights star Patrick Roberts after Twilight's Robert Pattinson. It would have been more fun if they'd actually gotten Pattinson to guest star, but after the Mark Hamill joke, they never will. But Plus only 1, because there's no way Serena or K.C. know who Mark Hamill is.

So ... do you wish you were at Chuck's big club opening or what? That was hot!

Did tonight's Gossip Girl episode make you LOL? Scratch your head? Wish it were an hour longer? Wish you had never tuned in? A little of all of those?

Gossip Girl outs Olivia Burke on her blog.

"How to Succeed in Bassness" was ...

Below are excerpts from New York Magazine's patented reality index of the previous night's episode Gossip Girl, a weekly dissection that's never to be missed.

We've posted our official episode recap of "Enough About Eve." Now, some highlights from NY Magazine's analysis, at once insightful, arbitrary and hilarious:

• The asymmetrical dress in which Serena is roaming around the city is both hot and totally absurd. Plus 1.
• Why does Gossip Girl still call Dan Lonely Boy? Minus 1. Look at him in that last scene, surrounded by friends and family, like it's the Olive Garden.
• P.J. Buckley is spot-on, from his popped collar to the fratty guys hanging around to the d!ck look he gives the photo of Trip, to the fact that he seems more upset about his sister gaining 30 pounds than being brokenhearted. Plus 2.
• And wait: Why does Vanessa's mom have a cell phone and voice mail? Cell phones are just noise pollution, and they also emit radiation! Minus 7.
• Olivia calls Malibu "the 'Bu." Amazing, even in jest. Plus 1.

• Chuck would have thought twice about the whole boy-flirtation scenario, if not for his own hang-ups, in order to stave off Blair's worries. Minus 3.
• Vanessa's father "had to finish installing the solar panels at the chicken coop at the co-op," and is "organizing the union for local 72, the cheesemakers union." Plus 7 for the amount of ridiculous neo-hippie color in one sentence.
• Why is Nate trying to save Carter? Can he pull this poker thing off? How is Nate even there if Bree's family hates him? Some of these questions were answered when Nate's plot was revealed, but Minus 6, because not enough.
• When she's being herself, Olivia favors shapeless, unflattering prairie dresses over skintight Hervé Léger ensembles. Plus 2, that is so NYU starlet.
• Serena calls 411 to find P.J. Buckley? And it worked?? No. Minus 3.
• Blair: "Napoleon's always good for a few zingers." Plus 1.

Well? After all the hype surrounding "the kiss" and all the other developments in the Gossip Girl universe, did tonight's episode leave you satisfied?

"Enough About Eve" was ...

Every Monday after Gossip Girl, we put up polls to gauge your reactions. It's not exactly scientific, but it sheds some light on which episodes are best received.

So far, through five episodes this season, last week's "Rufus Getting Married" was rated the best, by a whisker over "The Lost Boy" (the third episode this fall).

Both received a combined 84 percent of votes cast in either the "Awesome" or "Pretty Solid" categories, with last week's registering a bit higher in the former.

All five episodes so far in Season 3 have received consistently positive reviews. Below are the surveys' results so far (you can still vote) so you can take a look.

Incidentally, last season's ill-fated spinoff-starter, "Valley Girls," fared the poorest of any episode since we've done this, while the Season 2 finale rated highest.

Below are excerpts from New York Magazine's famed reality index of the previous night's episode Gossip Girl, a weekly postmortem that's not to be missed.

We've posted our official episode recap of "Rufus Getting Married." Now here are some highlights from NY Mag's totally arbitrary, uniquely funny analysis:

• Vanessa's IM name is "Docugrl191" and Olivia Burke's is "Olivia." Plus 2.
• The Bleecker! At last, the name of their fictional coffee shop. Minus 1.
• Georgina served Scott "several glasses of wine slightly enhanced." Plus 2 for the way she just slipped that in there, like it was something only vaguely shameful, like a glass of Chardonnay with ice cubes in it.
• Not only would Dan not have a mini-PC, but he also wouldn't type on it on the street like a blind person. Seriously, is that a Star Trek outtake? Minus 2.
• Serena: "That was by far your best wedding. Who would have guessed nine months later Klaus would have Auf'ed?" Awesome line, but only gets Plus 1: Lily's wedding picture doesn't even include her husband's face.

• Blair hates Bree so much she calls her a future "NASCAR mom." She's watched Nate get with so many girls, why does she care so much now? Minus 1.
  
• Lily always wears chandelier earrings, usually turquoise. Plus only 1, because they are mitigated by Vanessa's matching ridiculous cocktail rings.
• Eric is wearing a TERRIBLE beige-and-black short-sleeved button-down shirt for half the episode. Beige on black is like blood on the dance floor - it's only okay if it's really dark and everyone's drunk. Minus 3.
• Chuck: "Buntautuk. I learned it from a master in Chiang Mai." Plus 1, if not for realism, for reminding us of Chuck's hilarious lost weekend in Thailand.
• If Carter Baizen, whom we are meant to believe is a prominent member of Upper East Side society, was engaged to be married to a Buckley, another prominent family, wouldn't Serena have known? Minus 7.
• Lily's first reaction to Georgina's dramatic reveal of Scott's parentage is to look all annoyed, like "Oh, GREAT. And now he's walked away. Do I have to do EVERYTHING? THANKS, everyone. For NOTHING." Plus 1.

Tonight's episode, the fifth and possibly the best of this season so far, was titled "Rufus Getting Married," and after a ton of twists, turns and hesitation, he did.

There was love, scandal, drama and certainly plenty to look forward to next week. Did you like it? Did it live up to your expectations? Fall short? In between?

Tell us how you feel about the episode, which shed light on some characters and stories that have been building up for a few weeks now, by voting below.

Rufus, Lily and their offspring come face-to-face - and a tearful Scott plays the unlikely role of helping his biological parents tie the knot after all this time.

"Rufus Getting Married" was ...

You knew it was coming.

We'll maybe you did not see the Gossip Girl threesome itself coming. But once you heard about it, you knew a poll would be posted asking for your predictions.

On the November 9 episode, three major characters on Gossip Girl will be ... Getting. It. On. No dream sequence, either. It's real, alright, and we cannot wait.

The only question is who's involved. Of the nine possible combinations thrown out by Entertainment Weekly, we've discarded the two we believe to be obvious jokes (involving Dorota and Serena's yet-to-be-cast father).

That leaves seven options ... and so many possible players.

When you hear "threesome" as it relates to Gossip Girl, Chuck is the first character who comes to mind. But he's changed lately, and is actually the only guy in a really steady relationship at the moment. So is it someone else?

Georgina Sparks (Michelle Trachtenberg) is a sleeper pick. While not a full-time cast member, she regularly finds herself in the middle of sticky situations.

Could shady, sexy Carter Baizen (Sebastian Stan) also play a role? The possibilities are nearly limitless. Vote in the poll below with your predictions!
