    "Good"

    A very good episode of Gossip Girl, it's definitely one of my favorite episodes. Watching the fall of Blair Waldorf was definitely an entertaining watch. I've said from the beginning that Blair needed to be knocked down a few pegs.

    I still think Jenny is incredibly annoying but we got a great tie in with her subtly destroying Blair's life. I don't think she understood the damage she was doing, I really don't like the idea of her being the next "Blair" though. I can only imagine more annoying scenes from here on out.

    Okay, so the "I love you" thing was as generic and cliche as can get so I can't give Gossip Girl that many points on that one, but I will give it points on story development, this episode started out with everyone thinking Serena was pregnant, and it ended with Blair being shunned. Really good episode, keep it up, Gossip Girl.moreless

    This was an above average episode of Gossip Girl. Revolving around a Blair storyline was a smart move as Leighton Meester's acting is stronger than the rest of the cast, and she's just a generally likeable character. Even Chuck was somewhat acceptable in this installment. Still, Rufus, Nate and Eric continue to be extremely irritating and ruin the show. I find it highly unlikely that a plethora of women will just throw themselves at Rufus, so I don't know why the writers put that in. The popular girl entourage is not very good either as they're all fairly ugly and annoying.

    This episode seemed very OC-ish, which is not a shock as it is from the same people. The show needs a little more comedy and a little less relationship trouble if they want to last more than four seasons and get good ratings.moreless

    I love the fact that Chuck can text at sixty miles an hour, news gets around that school faster that CNN, at my school we're still using messenger boys and town criers. Poor Dan it takes him days to tell Serena I love you while she tells random strangers on the street but in the end it all worked out. I must admit those rich kids have it nice, one problem at school=three months in France. I have had experience watching the O.C so I know how to over look all the old people parts. One last thing these people have some F&%*ed up surnames. You can see that drama is no stranger here but that's what makes it so sweet. Love the ending X.O.X.O.moreless

    It was great and really sad at the same time. Blair is dethroned because Chuck sent the tip to Gossip Girl. The start of the episode was good, Serena was spotted buying pregnancy tests. Of course no TV drama would be complete without the "pregnancy scare". I loved Serena and Blair in this episode. They fought for so many times but in the end, they stuck together. Serena's such a good friend to Blair, even taking the "public bullet" for her. The scene where B already took the test was hilarious. "I wouldn't know what to wear on a paternity hearing." "Clean slate?" "Ahh, clean slate." That was priceless. And I loved how Dan was all, I love you even if you're not pregnant blah blah. He was really great. Chuck was an a**, Nate was an a** but I loved their "fight" scene. it made us realize that the two of them really care for Blair. But her "dethronement" was so sad. I'm sure it wouldn't last long. B's gonna take everybody down. Especially Little Jenny Humphrey.moreless

    The truth about Blair finally came out. And when it came out she lost everything. Nate found out that his beloved virgin had lost her virginity to his best friend, the person that treats women like objects, Chuck.

    Her friends didn't want anything to do with her, cos they saw her like someone who thinks is perfect but is worse then the rest.

    She tried to get Serena away from her, but Serena is a good friend, and she did everything she can so she can convince her not to go to Paris, and finally she succeeded.

    Meanwhile Dan struggled to tell Serena that he loves her, but ultimately he succeeded and told her how much she means to him and why she loves her.

    Jenny started to look more and more like Blair. She took Blair's spot in the elite group, and started acting more like her.moreless

Dan: I do. Whether she's pregnant, whether she's not pregnant. I love her. Rufus: First thing's first, you need to talk to her. Maybe it's not even true. Dan: Did you hear what I just said?
