Before I start, a note about the quote that is part of the headline to this post. Doesn't Poppy realize that this is the whole point of senior year? Nothing changes. Poppy must have gone to high school herself...
Gossip Girl last night certainly did not disappoint. Here is the New York Magazine Daily Intel and below are some of my own pluses and minuses.
- At their "family" breakfast, someone mentions how their life is like a reality TV show. Chuck then says he wants to vote off Dan. Plus one because these two really do hate one another.
- Minus 10 for the blizzard in New York during this episode. It is spring, embrace it.
- Minus two because when Lily offers to help Rufus pay for Dan's Yale education, she is very obviously only offering to be nice and hardly seems to mean it.
- When Lily suggests the Humphreys move into her house, did no one stop to think how awkward that would be for Dan and Serena? Minus four because someone would have pointed that out.
- Minus two for Serena and Poppy pressuring Jenny to buy an expensive designer dress. Jenny designs clothes herself, she doesn't need a label.
- Plus five for the face Blair made as Nate kissed her on the forehead.
- While on the phone with Serena, Blair starts talking about Nate. Caught off guard and since she does not yet know their relationship is restarting, Serena jumps to a conclusion: "Have you dumped me for Vanessa?" Plus four because of how adorable their relationship is.
- Minus one for the phonecall Dan accidentally picks up. The realtor would not have just assumed the person who answered the phone was Rufus and would have asked to speak to him.
- Plus two for Jenny's line, "I liked my social grave."
- The expressions of shock on Blair and Nate's faces when Vanessa grabs Chuck and kisses him are priceless. Plus three.
- The witty banter between Serena and Dan as they make the bed is worth a plus one.
- Minus four for Serena throwing Jenny under the bus once Lily and Rufus come home. True, the party did get out of hand because of her, but it was still her birthday and she was only responding to prove a point to Serena.
- Minus two for Blair saying "it was too good to last" with Nate. Um, wasn't it only like a week and a half?
- Blair's "favorite spot" would not be a pond where she feeds ducks. She is much too high end for that. Minus one.
- Minus three for Serena just jumping on a plane and going to Spain. Don't these kids have SCHOOL?
- Minus 100 for Vanessa and Chuck having sex!! She knows better and has too high moral standards to do such a thing. (I know 100 is an exaggeration, but I honestly did not see that one coming. It is very out of character.)
The next new episode isn't for a few weeks. How did you feel about this episode and are you looking forward to the next new one? Leave your own tallies below.
