OH MY GOD! NO! So many people, including Penn Badgley, apparently think that Dan was “straight up” gay in all the books of Gossip Girl. It’s been explained so many times, he’s NOT. I’ve read up to book 8 (I’m reading book 9 now), so far he’s been very straight and very much in love with Vanessa. From what I’ve gathered, however, there was this one time in a later book that he goes to this poetry thing and ends up kissing a guy. For a brief period, he sort of doubts his sexuality but soon enough he realizes how in love he is with Vanessa still and he’s NOT gay. That’s it with his whole gay storyline. If there’s someone who’s REALLY gay in the books, it’s Chuck, which was why the whole Blair/Chuck storyline in the show was kind of awkward for me at first (though I must admit it was really hot). Fine, for the first few books he was this sleazy playboy rapist but later on I guess he was too much of a player that he turned gay? There was even a time I seriously believed he was Gossip Girl when I read the end of one of the books (at the next book, I wasn’t sure again). He was even hitting on Dan and stuff, when he was starting to get popular. I’m glad he’s been straight in the show though, I don’t mind a hot and straight guy on the show. I hope he gets a monkey though, like Chuck in the books. I don’t know, I can just imagine Ed Westwick with a little monkey and it would be so cute.
So why am I bringing up the gay business? According to spoilers of the Gossip Girl TV show… one of the main characters will turn out to be gay. Any ideas?

I love the clothes in Gossip Girl. It’s cool how they’re all differentiated for each character. I can’t say I like one character’s style more than the others though. Serena’s, as they said, “rolled out of bed” look is more my style but I can’t say I can carry it as well as her. I do go for the “sabog/wasted” look from time to time, especially when I do feel like crap. The thing with Serena’s character is that she is so gorgeous that she would good in ANYTHING. Blair’s style is more classic, clean lines, “Audrey Hepburn.” I’ve learned to love it as well. She can wear something that looks too mature for her age but make it more youthful with her headbands. I’m crazy for headbands right now. I just bought two more in Greenhills last Friday. My sister wore the black one with the bow in the Ateneo Prom. I also got a thin yellow one, similar to Blair’s from the pilot. Got them for P35 each.

I’ve said before that I like alternate pairings and Dan/Blair is definitely one of my favorites right now. Believe it or not, I thought of it while I was reading the books even before the show. The last one I read was Nothing Can Keep Us Together and out of eight books I’ve read, they’ve only actually talked ONCE. It wasn’t even an actual conversation, it was just Blair telling Dan “I’m not in love with you. I don’t even know you,” when Serena and Vanessa were sort of teasing Dan and Serena said “Everybody’s in love with Dan!” The line was so funny though, and I think that’s what made me think they’d be cute together. At least in the show they have more scenes together. And their exchanges are quite funny…
“There’s a garage door in the middle of this room! Aww… Is that Cedric?”
“See you later, Waldorf.”
Blair just has to keep referring to Cedric, the cabbage patch, whenever Dan is brought up. It’s cute how they have that thing between them. And you gotta love a good love-hate relationship… I’m not saying they should hook up right now. It’s still too complicated with Serena, Nate, and Chuck. I’m just wishing they’d have more scenes together, friendship scenes at least. Like their scene in Bad News Blair, when Dan opened up to her.
I know everyone’s into Chuck/Blair right now. I also liked the idea when the Victor, Victrola episode first came out. But there’s so much people into it now that I’ve lost interest already. I do think Dan and Serena are cute together. I can’t hate them, even when they can be boring. So I’m not bashing any other pairings. It’s just fun to have all these options… Hehe!

Goodness, I just finished watching this episode. SOOOO intense!! Definitely one of the best episodes and a great way to end the season, not too much of a cliffhanger but would definitely have you looking forward to what’s coming next. I love all the twists, the gossip, scandals, and all of the characters. I like Chuck being cruel – it’s so him. The Serena-Blair friendship, especially at the end, had me in tears. Jenny has apparently gotten to the top, which is sort of weird for me. I’m so used to her book character trying so hard but everyone knows it just wouldn’t happen for her, she’s a total joke really. It’s just, she would never be like Serena who just so effortlessly captivates everyone, or Blair who’s just so regal. I guess in the series it can happen for her… Oh! Elyse is here!! But in the show she’s… Jenny’s slave. Basically, Jenny sees her old self in E. I still have a feeling they will end up as best friends.
Chuck/Blair – Everyone loves this. I kind of like them, in fact, I love their drama but I just don’t see them actually becoming a real couple. It’s so cute how Chuck can be in love with Blair, be confused about having those kinds of feelings, and still be a complete ass. Great thing they’ve done with his character. I don’t want him to be in love forever, though, and decide to settle down for B and be less sleazy, which is what makes his character interesting on the show. This is why I don’t want them to end up being a couple. Maybe they’re better off as an ongoing fling that does sweet things for one another once in a while.
Lastly, those two girls that asked Rufus out both really reminded me of Blair. Their names are Bex and Bryn(?) and they were both brunette (I think almost the same hair color as Blair). They’re both very pretty as well. Bex resembles Blair a bit more, even the way she talks (or is it just me?) So coincidence?? Probably… This is so random! I’m gonna go. Bye!

I saw this episode last week and loved it. I heard many didn’t?
Is it me or are the characters becoming more and more like the books? Serena the party girl? Chuck being super duper sleazy (though I hope he doesn’t turn gay)? Vanessa and her videos? Anyway, I love how they suddenly still incorporate some stuff in the books even though the show has really deviated from the books’ story. I hope Serena gets back to her wild side a bit more, it’s just a lot more fun, seriously. I’m starting to like Vanessa because of this episode. I hope she starts going to school in Constance like in the books so that it will be easier to make her character important.
Episode 13, The Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate, airs Tuesday night (Wednesday morning here in Philippines) in Canada and Wednesday night (Thursday morning here in Phils) in the US. I think this will be the final episode for the season because of the writers’ strike (please let it end, it’s killing all my shows). Blair thinks she’s pregnant and Serena goes to get the pregnancy test for her. Of course people then think Serena’s the one who’s pregnant, including Dan. Exciting, eh?
Here are the promos…
