Gossip Girl- It Girl Interrupted

"Because the one person that was there the whole way through is the one person whose not in my life anymore."

The story lines are a getting a wee bit boring on Gossip Girl. The return of Diana Payne was lame. The scheming between Nate and Lola was even lamer. Serena's attempt at staying the "It" girl was predictable. Seems like the only one that actually grew up was Blair. Out of the whole group she has seized her scheming and stopped caring whether or not she was the most popular or the most talked about. Serena clearly never left high school. As she takes on the role of Gossip Girl she has made it pretty clear that she has the power to destroy anyone that gets in her way and she will exercise that power with the blink of an eyelash.

The biggest conflict in the show keeps revolving around Blair and her many men. Who do we choose for Mrs. (well now divorced so Ms.) Waldorf? Although she is finding temporary happiness with lonely boy, the truth is Chuck Bass is and always will be her prince charming. For once in his life he did something out of the goodness of his heart, he paid off Blair's dowry and set her free. And this time he really needed someone to talk to that would understand. Instead of shutting him out Blair should have been there for him the way he's always been there for her. It seems to me that all she is doing is running from Chuck because out of the fear that things will get complicated. Surprisingly things with Humphrey are easy. He is straightforward with his feelings, infatuated with her and treats her like a princess. But does that mean that the temporary bliss is enough to overtake the love she felt for Bass? I doubt it.

Now that we know Elizabeth is not Chuck's mother the question is who saved his life by donating blood? I place my bets on Blair. I'm not quite sure if its even possible but hell, it seems pretty logical. At this point Elizabeth is either lying, which only Jack knows for a fact or she really does not want anything to do with her son. But it would be a great twist of events if Blair really did help save Chuck Bass. Will the mystery of Chucks mother bring him and Blair closer together? Or will it tear up Chuck inside and turn him into a cold person once again? Besides that the Upper East Side is pretty bland. Blair is enjoying her freedom as she is finally divorced from Louie, Rufus and Lily are going through a rough patch, Lola has been chewed up and spit out by the UPE, and Charlie Rhodes is back on the street. Its like nothing has changed.
