Gossip Girl: A Thousand Kisses Deep
Best Blair impression: Vanessa. The outsider took a turn for the worse in this episode. Seems Blair's antics have rubbed off on the Brooklynite. She wanted to give that toast and she played dirty to the very end, alienating Dan, her mother and her roommate.
Best surprise guest: Vanessa's mom. Turns out Vanessa wasn't raised by in the wild by a pack of wolves. She actually has parents. And here we thought she was making them up all this time. Mom is a trip and a half, though.
Worst reason to get all "Mean Girls" on everybody: The toast at the parent's dinner. Really? This is what all the fuss is about? Pick a better trophy next time girls. Maybe something that comes with a cash prize.
Biggest hypocrites: Rufus and Lily. They're appalled by Olivia's celebrity behavior and act uncomfortable when she name checks John Travolta during breakfast. Serena's face graces just as many gossip rags as the young starlet and didn't Mayor Bloomberg attend their wedding? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Best thanks, but no thanks: Serena went to a lot of trouble to get Carter out of his mess, but the boy just doesn't know how to shut up and show his gratitude. He really wants to work on an oil rig in Texas? We'll see how long he lasts.
Best hair: Chuck. He always looks good, but someone get us the name of his barber.
Best game: $25,000 just to buy into the poker game? That is some serious cash. Think of all you could do with $25,000. You might not be able to end world hunger, but you could buy yourself a cuter, smarter and more attentive boyfriend than Carter.
Best use of Nate: Finally, Nate gets a storyline that allows him to do more than romp around a bedroom with a girl. He still sports that ridiculous hairstyle, but at least he has a purpose: revenge. He's so angry at Bree that he's willing to dupe Serena and get into bed (figuratively, of course) with his grandfather.
Best candy shout-out: Serena might have used them to play poker when she was a child, but we loved Necco Wafers. Mostly we loved the orange and green ones, with purple coming in at a close second.
What did you think? Chuck was probably at his cutest when playing the coy recipient of another's flirtatious moves. He's usually on the opposite side of the game; it was fun to see him switch sides in more ways than one. Did Vanessa's behavior drive you mad? Has the Olivia storyline worn out its welcome, or are you rooting for those two crazy kids to make it?
Comments
I just really have to wonder what the writters motive for V is, because if it is just to get on my nerves week after week, they have achived there goal!
I also want to know how much longer Blair is going to live in the dorms, she did tell Chuck it was just to establish herself. Now she has new 'mean girls'can't we see her somewhere other then the completely oversized dorm room (I lived i the NYU dorms freshman year, and they where nothing like that).
On another note, I think it s time that fans start demanding more Eric. I hate seeing him as Jenny's little lacky! He needs a story line, or better yet a spin off!
BTW will someone please give Taylor Momson a sandwitch! You can pretty much see through her! Considering the amount of food the Humphry's eat for breakfast, there is no way Jenny should be that thin.
