GG: "You don't get to judge me ever again"

As always, here is the link to the New York Magazine Daily Intel reality index about last night's Gossip Girl episode. I plan to add some of my own thoughts later tonight, but for now I will leave you with the quote of the night.

Blair: "Doing the right thing takes courage and strength... At least that's what I've heard."

UPDATE: Here are some reality additions of my own.

- Dan, who is one of the smarter guys on the show, turns to Nate, who is the dumbest guy on the show, when he needs someone to tell him he's not in love with Vanessa. Plus two only because it makes sense for Dan to need reassurance from a less superior male.
- Plus 100 for the return of Serena's pout. But was she really that oblivious to Nate's feelings for her? And, while I'm giving points, let me just point out that if Serena and Nate were to get together they would be the pout-happy couple.
- While trying to distract her mother, Blair points out that she would like to watch the parade. I,in no way, believe she would watch the parade. Minus one because the Waldorfs would have a front row seat right in the action, not be forced to watch it on TV.
- When Serena returns from her conversation with her mom, she walks up to Tripp and Maureen, who are standing in the middle of the room and very close to Nate and Chuck, and she proclaims her affair over. Minus five because even Serena would have the decency to pull them aside and have that conversation in a more private setting.
- Serena and Blair continue their ping pong relationship this week. Minus 10 because it has become rather difficult to remember if the two are speaking and for which reason they are/are not.
- When Lily continued her lie to Rufus, Cece would never have played along. Minus two because Cece is the first person to out her daughter and I find it weird that they seem to be in cahoots here.

So, what did you think of the episode? Feel free to leave your own tallies in the comments.
