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!

Gossip Girl Episode 1.13 – A Thin Line Between Nate and Chuck

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!



Gossip Girl Episode 12 – School Lies

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?
