Guest post by Norene
I am Gossip Girl’s #1 fan and I think this episode was not bad at all — last week and the week before, but this one was not bad. I liked it! I laughed! Though my sense of humor may be questionable, since I on occasions laugh at knock, knock jokes.
What was off:
1) Lily has been a b*tch with Bart waaaay before she found out about his manila envelopes. I think she is gathering everything she can to excuse herself from her marriage with Bart.
2)Blair saying that Aaron is hot. No, he is not hot. Why in the world would she say he is hot? Is it because he comes from money? Eww! He is your soon-to-be step-brother.
3) Serena or Blake, I think we all understand that you have a killer rack. Cover it up some before you catch pneumonia. You are starting to cross the line from “Marilyn Monroe Sexy” to “Pam Anderson Sexy”. Has anyone seen the stills from her in that ball gown? It is cut short in the front to show off her legs! Too much skin!
4) Chuck and Blair clones were way ugly. Frankly, I look more and act more like Blair than her clone. Chuck’s looked like he was 15 years old. And the bet storyline is old and annoying, but the stakes were the best part. SOMEONE SHOULD HAVE LOST!!
5) Aaron Rose, Brown is calling you! You need to pack-up and leave and then you should permanently move to Europe and never return to NYC. Just like Carter Baizen, and Lord Marcus.
6) Rufus and Lily. Please! You had your chance! Move on people!
7) I like the idea of Nate & Vanessa, but every time they have kissed they have no chemistry.
Aaron’s art of Serena does look like a Gap ad! Maybe it is?
9) I felt like this episode ended abruptly. Needed a better ending.
What went well:
1) Dorota.
2) Chuck in every every shot. Even in sequins.
3) Lexie is mean, but I thought she was funny in a very mean b*tchy way.
4) Nate and Vanessa.
5) Vanessa looked beautiful!
6) Jenny stood up for herself. Way to go J!
7) Thank you Nate for ending things with Jenny. She is waaay tooo young and immature. She needs someone her own age and without family issues like Nate.
Jenny is going back to school?
My thoughts about the characters on upcoming episodes:
1) Chuck is out for blooooood! That is from Lily!
2) Lily’s secret is deeper than a stint at a mental facility.
3) Chuck and Blair will begin to have an actual relationship due to the upcoming events. I think they will finally be close. Sure, Chuck may push Blair away, but she will insist. Blair is very instinctively maternal and she will comfort Chuck in his time of need, just like she did with Serena.
4) Watch out everyone for a super angry Chuck! Everyone will feel his wrath.
5) Money fight between Lil and Chuck.
Thank you Norene for the guest post!

Norene, I agree with you on many of your points. The episode was awesome, but you are right, it ended too abruptly. I remember looking at the clock and thinking “that’s it?” It needed something else related to the “accident” phone call to end it better.
And the Chuck clone? Pleaseeeeee! I could pick out a better clone!
