Gossip Girl: In the Realm of the Basses  

Posted by: ~ames~ in , ,

With Chuck MIA since his father's funeral, Uncle Jack arrives on the Upper East Side to help Chuck pick up the messy pieces, but first he has to find him. Trying her best to forget her last painful exchange with Chuck, Blair focuses her attention on being accepted into the most prestigious ladies club in the city, Colony Club. Jenny returns to Constance Billard and immediately takes on Penelope and her posse of mean girls, but no one is going down without a valiant Gossip Girl-worthy fight.

So I missed the show right before this one, and Bart Bass DIES. And it also came out that Lily had Rufus's love child and gave it up for adoption? What a pivotal episode to miss. CRAP!!
OOhhh, and Blair slept with Chuck's uncle?? WHAT?

Yeah, a lot went on in this latest episode.  The most dramatic being Chuck almost killing himself by falling off the roof of his reacquired burlesque club and Blair telling him she's there for him. Always.

The other interesting thing to happen was Jenny going back to school and coming up against Blair's cronies, namely Penelope.

The most ho-hum thing to happen yet again is Serena and Dan getting back together. Been there, done that. But now with the possibility of a sibling in existence, their new found love may be torn apart again.

Gossip Girl: There Might Be Blood

You can read an episode recap HERE.

First of all, let me start by saying that Jenny is still annoying the crap out of me! She doesn't care who she steps on as long as she gets her way, and those are the same antics she was up to in Season 1. I'm glad she ran away. I hope she never comes back.

Onto the other characters - Serena remembers Aaron from camp - and everytime she runs into him or calls him, a different girl is around. So when she confronts him at the end of the episode he basically tells her to deal with it. LMAO!! Crap, if a guy I was interested in pulled that shizz with me, no matter how much chemistry was between us, I'd kick his ass to the curb. And Serena should totally do that, because she told Aaron in last week's episode that she wasn't dating right now.

And Blair, poor Blair. Almost outsmarted by a teener bopper out to deflower herself. Awww. I don't like Blair when she's insecure. She was all worried about getting into Yale.

Speaking of which, Dan's stories got rejected at Yale, so he decided to write Chuck's story. Next week looks very interesting.

The Genuis of Gossip Girl

Have my fellow Gossip Girl lovers seen this article from New York Magazine? If you're a fan of the show you have to check it out!

It's a lengthy (7 pages), but intelligently written article capturing exactly why we love, or love to hate, Gossip Girl! If you don't want to read the entire article I've picked a few of my favorites quotes:

"...there should be no shame in a love of Gossip Girl. After all, it is (and we have come to this conclusion honestly) the most awesomely awesome show ever."
"But the best, and most addictive, aspect of Gossip Girl is that the delectable tangle of jealousy, loyalty, confusion, and general teen angst coils and recoils at such a frenetic pace."

"Gossip Girl gets the world of privileged New York City kids pretty right. The characters may be caricatures, but they recall real types enough to make you cringe: The mothers who want to shape and clothe (and then humiliate) their daughters. The gay father, the hipster Brooklyn father, the dad with the coke problem. And the kids who fall in love, have sex, smoke pot, and try to fight out their places in the social hierarchy. It’s accurate enough to have real-life parents in a tizzy and private-school principals lecturing students about why they shouldn’t watch."

"The show mocks our superficial fantasies while satisfying them, allowing us to partake in the over-the-top pleasures of the irresponsible superrich without anxiety or guilt or moralizing. It’s class warfare as blood sport. And, as Blair Waldorf might say, that’s entertainment."

Gossip Girl: All About My Brother

Episode Recap: Georgina informs Serena that she is prepared to reveal damaging information from Serena's past, but no one is prepared for what Georgina does next.

Blair and Jenny escalate their "popularity war" by spreading scandalous rumors about each other through Gossip Girl. Dan witnesses Jenny's new boyfriend, Asher, cheating on her, but Jenny refuses to listen to her brother's warning.

Rufus goes to Lily for advice on how to handle Jenny's recent out-of-character behavior.


Ok, Serena is totally pissing me off. It's like GROW A PAIR already. LOL Georgina is back to cause trouble and Serena is letting her get away with it. Why didn't she just come clean to Dan when he introduces "Sarah"?? Stupid stupid girl!

Can't wait for next week's show!

Gossip Girl- 1/11/08

The Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate

In yesterday's episode, Serena was spotted pregnancy test shopping and poor Dan, his Dad saw the GG website and jumped to the obvious conclusion. Poor guy! Imagine finding out your girlfriend is pregnant through a website! LOL That's just as bad as getting a divorce text message. hehe But we quickly find out that the test is for Blair, who is pretending there is no possible pregnancy. So Jennie overhears some talk and tells Nate that Chuck could also be Blair's father. What a little turncoat! Blair then gets mad at Serena because she thinks Dan told his sister and Nate's bad at Chuck and Chuck - what a bastard!

When everyone turns their back on Blair (seriously, how can a girl who has sex still get ostracized. It's not like her slutty little friends aren't spreading their legs for all those rich boys), she turns to Chuck. But he quickly sets her straight. She's used goods, and he only goes where no man has gone before.

Tsk tsk.

So then Blair tries to run off to France, but Serena calls her back from the edge helicopter landing pad and is her friend again. Woot.

Ames' Thoughts: Through out all this, Dan realizes he loves Serena. Aww! He's so bloody sweet. And cute. The look on his face when he says he loves Serena out loud? Priceless. Meh, could care less about his Dad's dating trubs-but ew Chuck calling Serena his sister! LOL

Ever since the show started, I always had a soft spot for Blair. Why? Because her mom is such a bitch and she has such a prickly outer shell as a defense mechanism. So I know she's a good girl, and I feel for her. So I felt bad when all her "friends" turned their backs on her. And Jennie? I hope Blair gets her good! Which will put Serena in a tough spot as she's Dan's girlfriend, and Dan's Jennie's brother. But can't wait for Blair to bring everyone down. No one messes with Blair! And she needs some nice, sweet, rich college boy to come and get her mind off Nate. And Bastard Chuck. UGH.

Dun dun duhhhhhhhhhh.....it's Wena's turn.

I know, I know, I waited super long for this and I'm so sorry Ames but work was a bitch today but what's important is I'm here now and I've got plenty to say about this week's Gossip Girl.

The show starts off with Serena buying a pregnancy test. I'm not going to give you guys another recap, Ames took care of that (thanks sweets) so I'm just going to jump into my thoughts on the show.

So Serena bought a pregnancy test..whoopty frickin' doo! I guess, in high school that would be a big deal because of Serena's past but bleh, didn't care about that. What I cared about was why she was in that store, buying that pregnancy test. I knew before we found out that the test wasn't Serena's (duh, it was on the previews, haha) and I loved that Serena cared enough about Blair to take the heat of the rumors.

And I also loved the fact that even after everything went down and everyone was hating Blair, including her...I was really glad that she stood by her best friend and convinced her to stick it out and face her demons because you could tell that Serena really loves Blair.

They're really BFF's.

Awww.

What I didn't like was the way Blair treats everyone, but even though I don't like the way Blair treats everyone and I was kinda happy that Blair was put in her place. I don't hate Blair, atleast I don't think I do and I realized that I really don't like Jenny. I don't like Jenny because she's just a weak spined, social climber and she had the chance to change the way of things and she ...didn't. Did she think that little wave she gave home girl that took her library books back to the library was supposed to make everything better. Was it supposed to make her not look so bad because she didn't humiliate the girl the way that Blair did?

Please.

And because I don't care for Jenny anyway, like Ames, I cannot wait to see the way Blair takes her down.

The party is just begining guys, Blair Waldorf is going to tear this mutha up! And man, it's going to be so much fun watching the pieces fall where they may.

*rubbing hands together in glee*

Oh man I can hardly wait.

Like Ames again, I heart Dan. I really do and I love how sweet he is with Serena and I love just how frickin' smart he is and how different he is from everyone and I love that he loves Serena because when he realized that he loved Serena for real and not because she thought she was pregnant, it was just the cutest thing, EVER.

I love the way that Dan is with his Dad, I love the way that he is with Serena and I love the way that he is with Jenny, even though I can't stand her trampy ass and even though I love Dan, I can't help but want Serena and Nate to find a way to be with each other. To see what they could become, to see how things would play out for them because ultimately, I want Rufus to end up with Lily and that would be too weird if Dan and Serena were still together.

I have this thing about the one that got away storyline and Lily is the one that got away from Rufus, their story isn't over and it needs to a shot, just like Peyton and Lucas need a shot and just like Nate and Serena need a shot. They need a shot because, until they're given a shot, they won't have a chance in hell of moving on with their lives because there'll be too many what if's and coulda shoulda woulda's going on...and because I won't be completely satisfied until we see that storyline through.

I could give a rats ass about Jenny, I could give a rats ass about Chuck and him calling Serena sister (alright, that was a little pukey but still not giving a shit) and all that because this show, for me, is about the front runners and I absolutely love them.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Blair has planned for those kids that snubbed the snot out of her. Nobody can snub better than Blair Waldorf and I know that all of them are going to pay.

SQUEEEEAAAALLL!

So until next time....see ya!

Gossip Girl!

Ugh, did any of you guys watch last night's Gossip Girl?

If so, what did you think about it? Were you rolling your eyes down the street at how easy Serena got off after the whole party fiasco? I totally knew how Dan felt when he was shaking his head over how easy Serena got off...COMMUNITY SERVICE? That's it? After all the bull crap that the Head Mistress said about suspending or excuse me, expelling each of them if someone didn't come clean.

Pshhhtt.

Serena got on my nerves last night, I wanted to strangle her, even though I was mad at her for making her Mom give her first love up, I kinda understood why she did it because right now, she's in love with Dan and that would still be kind of weird if after they break up, Lily and Rufus get together and then get married and Dan and Serena become...BROTHER AND SISTER, that seriously reeks of the ICK factor but I can't bring myself to give a damn. LOL. I want Lily and Rufus together and they came so close to it last night but once again, their timing is off but atleast I understood why Lily begged off.

But just because I understood why Serena felt the need to tell her Mom what she did, ruining yet another shot at happiness with Rufus, I was still mad that she actually did it. I mean, she knows how things went down (right? I can't seem to remember right now) and yet she still didnt want her Mom to be happy. She even knows that her Mom isn't her happiest when she's with Bart Bass (what a frickin' name, haha) and yet her happiness comes before all.

Stupid selfish bitch.

Ugh.

But aside from all that, I enjoyed the episode. I wanted to punch Vanessa for recording everything but then at the end of the show, I was back to being indifferent where she's concerned. I mean, the whole recording personal conversations I thought was invasive and stupid but *shrugs*, why would Dan be okay with her doing that...exploiting the rich so that she could get money...*rolls eyes*

But then the way that Chuck and Blair went about getting the video cracked me up, frickin rich people...it made me want to go do the same thing so that I can get $10, 000 shut up money. HA!

Nate, Nate, Nate...do you really want to be with Blair or do you want to be with her because you don't have a chance with Serena?

And goodness, why is Chuck not cute to me? Is it the lasciviousness that he displays where his almost sister is concerned that totally creeps me out about him? Whatever it is, I just can't like him...I thought I could like him for Blair but meh, I don't like him for anyone. He makes my skin crawl.

Did anyone miss Jenny? No, yeah...me neither. LOL!

And now, Blair is having a pregnancy scare, huh? Well, I can't wait to see what's in store for us Gossip Girl fanatics next week...

...until next week.
