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!

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?
