Gossip Girl- Yes then zero

"A Heroin Doesn't Get Her Happy Ending Without Overcoming Some Obstacles"


Did you hear that Blair Waldorf??
But what a splendid life it must be. She has Humphrey's, She has the prince of Monaco, and she has Chuck Bass. But before we get into all that can I just say its good to have Gossip Girl back in my life.
From all the shows that went on hiatus this summer I think the characters of GG are the ones that grew up the most. But despite all that, some things never change... Like Nate's love for older rich women.... 

We are introduced to some new scenery this season as the 3 best friends embark on their journey to L.A. 
Serena is working on the set of The Beautiful and the Damned (what a coincidence), Nate is lounging on his yacht and trying to find himself in his champagne glass, and Chuck is a bad-ass, dare devilish, adrenaline junkie full of wise and oddly accurate guidance-- sort of like a wise owl. A guru if you must. Thats not to say that just cause he can deal with everyone else's problems he can deal with his own. Saying YES to everything is a start. Just say yes. And although realistically that could lead to some really horrible things, in GG world saying yes seems to work out for everyone. And what would any GG episode be without the famous "He's Chuck Bass." 

Blair is busy planning a wedding and testing her soon to be husband on his loyalty. Yep nothing has changed on the Upper East Side. And although it does look like Blair has fallen in love with Louie we all know she is meant to be with Chuck. Good try Dorota, but we all know Blairs got a bun in the oven and we all know its going to be a little Bass. 

Why we see Dan coaching little league is beyond me, I guess there isnt much to do in the Hamptons anymore when all your friends have moved on to bigger and better things. His storyline does pick up though when his story about Blair gets sold by the one and only Vanessa. Not only did she sell the story though, she published a whole goddamn book! Poor Chuck hoping someone would write a book about him, only to have Blair swoop in and steal the spotlight. 


And to sum it all up talk about wrong place at the wrong time Serena. Just when everything was going good you run into Charlie. Crazy-not-even-your-cousin-fake-Charlie. I can just smell the scandals piling up.
Other side notes about the episode
     -Dorota is hilarious
     -So is Rufus, especially his "Realhousewife arrest of New York" joke... Classic
     - Also Rufus' skinny jeans. 
     -Since when does Serena not drink... clearly the most unbelievable part of the episode.
     -Did I mention Nate really likes them older women...
     -Even when Vanessa gets kicked off the show, she still causes problems. No one likes you, let it go!
     -Anyone else miss Lil J? 


Did you miss the Upper East Siders just as much as I did? XoXo <3
