    I really hope that after this episode, the Jenny scenes are kept to a minimum. The fall of Jenny was great to see and I honestly couldn't wait to see Blair destroy her. Her attitude toward her father and Eric was incredibly annoying. Okay, Jenny bashing aside, this was a good episode.

    Michelle Trachtenberg is doing wonders for this show and I really hope someday she becomes a regular on Gossip Girl, she's the girl you love to hate, and everything she does is wildly entertaining. Eric coming out of the closet was very unexpected, who knew he was the guy making out with Asher?

    It was just a great tie in of events, which led us in to Gossip Girl's best cliffhanger yet. When Serena uttered those words, I couldn't help but giggle at the sudden change of tone and music, but that definitely surprised me. Can't wait for the next episode.moreless

    I really enjoy GG because of its Bit*chyness (I am a girl after all) - but this episode was not all that. I love the on going power struggle between Queen B and Little Jenny - but lately I have found Jenny to be quite annoying. I know she's dying to fit in and be part of that clique - but it seems that we are loosing the Jenny that we knew in the earlier episodes. It was finally nice to see Jenny being brought down a notch or two by Blair. Eric finally comes out - he's GAY and Jenny's new beau is really Eric's new beau.

    As for Serena the big secret that she's hiding is that she killed someone - we don't know how or why. Just the fact that she killed someone. I wonder how they are going to go forward with this one?? Serena obviously doesn't want to tell anyone about what happened - except for Blair and that too only when she felt completely broken. Georgina also has a damning video of the whole event.

    Is it me or does no one think that Georgina is f*****g crazy???

    I love watching the romance of Lily and Rufus - I do think those two are made for each other and I wonder how long they'll deny their feelings???

    I wasn't too fond of the epi - I just thought that it was a filler so that they could finally get Serena's big secret out. I did however, love to watch Queen B and Little Jenny's power games - but now their over. I guess we'll just have to wait and watch what will happen next.moreless

    The fall of Little J was so sweet. Of course, Blair put her back to place. Seeing Asher and Jenny being outed was more than enough for me. Asher, from the start, was really unlikeable, even though he did the "bring the hotdogs to you" thing, there was something fishy about him. And Jenny, she was okay in the beginning but when popularity went to her head, she just irritates me more and more. Anyway, I'm not really keen on Vanessa and Nate. Georgina is a scheming b*tch and she's really evil and that's what makes this episode great. She drove Serena nuts, and thus the confession to Blair. I was, WTH!? when Serena admitted her "secret". Anyway, it's nice to finally see Jenny being nice again. The way she treated Rufus before she went to the party was so, whatever. Rufus didn't deserve that. And as for the girls (Hazel, Penelope...) they were still wannabes, and went with who was "powerful" and they moved from Blair to Jenny to Blair. I mean, come on! And the gay bomb, was absolutely fantastic. From the spoilers, I know that Eric's the one who's gay But I didn't expect that they would reveal it that way. One of my favorite episodes.moreless

    Jenny struggles to keep her status in this episode and pulls off all the stops, but being grounded and having no money just doesn't work on her advantage. She gets booted from her circle of friends and let's face it, after theft, that should have happened a long time ago. On a more revealing note, Asher and Eric were an item, which means... Yup! Jenny was just Asher's beard, but now everyone knows and it's just great. Dan and Georgina get a lot closer and that isn't making Serena too happy. Serena also reveals something very shocking at the end of the episode.moreless

    I didn't see this coming...REALLY!!Not the fact that Serena's brother is gay(because I read somewhere that one of the characters will turn out to be gay in this season and Serena's brother is at the top of my "guess list"), but because of the revelation of Serena's dark secret that immediately wipe out my curiosity but instantly makes me feel uneasy(yeah,and the background music made it go better...not!).It didn't occur to me that she could do something like that.

    Anyways,Georgina Sparks' getting meaner each and everyday.She just love the drama and desperate for old Serena to come back.Having a manipulative friend who holds your darkest secret is just unbearable.If I were Serena,I would have killed her.I mean, she killed someone.So,why this one should be any different?I'm kidding..I'm totally kidding.. But,you know,I am left puzzled when I saw the preview of the coming episode in this very website, I saw Blair,Nate and Chuck asking for Serena to tell them her secret.Didn't she told Blair already that she murdered someone?Are there any more dark secrets or the murder thing is just a joke?Well,we'll just have to watch the coming episode to find out.

    About the relationship between Jenny & Asher,THAT is just twisted.I thought Asher was cheating on Jenny on other girl..but noooo..he did it because he's actually gay and the lover is none other than Serena's brother and Jenny played along for the sake of being in the "IN" group.I actually felt sorry for Jenny as she went too far to establish herself in the popular crowd.That's the struggle of teenagers nowadays as we all know it especially when we are surrounded by posh and popular people.But in the end what's the outcome of it?!Public humiliation and the lost of trust and respect.moreless
