“Chair” Embrace the Dark Side
“Chair” hit an all time low last week when Blair fooled Chuck into kissing a certain NYU alum as a part of her wicked game. Chuck did forgive, but he sure didn’t forget (and we didn’t either!). It’s kind of sweet how Blair wanted to help Chuck with the grand opening of his club, but she shouldn’t have gone behind Chuck’s back when he clearly didn’t want her anywhere near it. Calling Jack Bass for favors, Blair? Really? Not cool. Blair’s behind-the-scenes meddling didn’t do anything to gain Chuck’s trust back, but as he explained, it’s their distrust for each other that keeps their relationship interesting and, in order to be a team, they should instead focus their duplicity on others. And that’s exactly what they did, as they teamed up to turn Chuck’s club opening from a bust into a much talked about headline. It’s cute how they accept each other’s evil ways. Now, “Chair” is back and stronger than ever!
Little J Growing Into a Monster
Little J really let her status as Queen Bee get into her head this week. It’s strange because she didn’t even want to be Queen in the first place. It’s totally messed up what she did to Eric and Jonathan. They were right in trying to put Jenny in her place on the steps at the MET. Instead of turning her back on her former BFFs, Jenny should dump her dim-witted minions and create a new kind of order, with Jonathan and Eric by her side as rulers of the school. Well, at least this whole Jenny and Eric feud lets Eric become more involved with the storylines. Oh yeah, what was up with Jenny’s hair and make-up? I like that she has a kind of punk-rock style, but she was looking a bit too gothic this week. She really needs to tone it down, with both her looks and her b*tchy attitude.
Dan and Olivia Get Down, Vampire Style
Dan and Olivia took their relationship to the next level. But, before they got down with the deed, Dan figured he should at least watch her vampire film series Endless Knights (perhaps for some tips?). Nate planted some doubt in Dan’s mind, informing him of all the rumors surrounding Olivia’s relationship with costar Patrick Roberts (so cute how Nate is a superfan and follows all the blogs). Olivia tried to reassure Dan that it was all for publicity. Though, later we find out that it was real, after all. Olivia tried to explain, “I lied because I cared about you” (hmm…there’s definitely something wrong with that line of reasoning). Without even thinking about it, Dan instantly gave into Olivia’s cute act and forgave her (c’mon Dan, you’re better than this). While it’s interesting to have Hilary Duff as part of the cast, I just don’t feel any chemistry between Olivia and Dan. The two seem to have more of a buddy-buddy vibe. Well, they can’t keep her character around for much longer, since she’s only a guest star.... (or is she?)
While “Chair” got back on the road to recovery, Serena and Blair have seemed to hit quite a hurdle with their friendship. Will the best frenemies be able to patch things up, or will an all-out catfight ensue? Catch Gossip Girl on Mondays @ 9PM on the CW 44Cable12 to find out.
