fembuckAs I said in my post last night, this show should totally be called "OMG I LOVE BLAIR" because I totally do. Even though she was being totally evil, and childish and petty this episode, she was so undeniable joyful and entertaining about it that I can't not love her.
Things to love about Blair this episode:
- Having a rack of fabulous clothes dedication to Serena
- The replacement list
- Constantly calling Jenny "Little Jenny"
- Lounging on that table like Queen Bitch as her adoring harem fawns over her.
- Making her invitation to Jenny sound like a come-on.
- Telling Jenny that they play Truth or Dare differently and then the panning shot to Isabelle and Kati kissing while Blair grins madly and triumphantly in the background pressed against Jenny.
- Blair's 'drug addled whore' look and act. When she was listing off those pills I nearly died. The lipstick smeared all over her face just made it that much more hilarious.
- Stealing that guys cell.
- Her 'ugh' when someone said she kissed that guy.
- "I was talking to Eric."
Other Things I Liked:
- I also have to say that I really LOVED Dan this episode. He was completely hilarious. That babbling rant he went on in front of Lily made tears form in my eyes. "When I was little my mother always said I didn't meet a word I didn't like", lol.
- Rufus's hair actually look good!
- Serena manhandling that guy when he went after Blair (aw, so romantic). Not to mention her cute little smile when Blair was all "I was talking to Eric!"
- The picture Eric sent to Jenny. And this exhange:
Eric: It's nice to be out after dark talking to people who aren't you and mom ... even if it is Blair. No offense.
Blair: (smiling happily) None taken.
- Jenny is LOVE. That cover story at the end was great. Not to mention her sassy meeting with Blair. Blair bettah watch out, I see a new queen bee in the making. You also gotta love Leighton for having chemistry with like every female she's on screen with. The way she was smiling at Jenny at the end made my Waldsen loving heart whimper. I'm totally not gonna ship Jenny/Blair though cause Taylor is 14 and that creeps me out (also, we all know that Waldsen is true love).
Things I Didn't Like
- Nothing!
- Lord help me, Dan and Serena's date was actually really cute.
- And Blake's delivery of "Something's vibrating in your pants and I really hope it's your cell phone" was unbelievably cute and sexy.
To conclude:
OH Gossip Girl previews, you giveth and you taketh away. Waldsen better be curled up in bed together at the END of this episode just like at the BEGINNING! I do not want this "Jenny is mistaken for Serena" at the masquerade ball and cause DRAMA thing to carry on past this episode! My girls better still be BFFs at the end. That is all.

Date: 2007-10-18 02:27 am (UTC)I know, I'm openly trying to convert people to watching it now. It's just a pleasure to watch. I loves it so much.
My fave was "Diazapam. Lorazapam. All the Pams, really. You know, I don't discriminate!"
So brilliant. That was great. Leighton rocked that scene. Though you know it probably look a lot of takes for her to get through it without laughing! I'm sorry, but the lipstick, the lipstick just killed me.
I love that Blair breaking Eric out made Lily realize how much she was actually hurting him by keeping him there.
Yeah, I really like the development of Lily, and that Eric will be back with the rest of the Dutch wunderkind.
They had to figure out a way to give us just a bit of Waldsen. And I will take what I can get!!!
As long as they show little bits like this in, when it's not a Waldsen love fest like last week I'll be happy. Basically if they put Blake and Leighton on screen together there's going to be chem-is-try.
D/S was semi adorable, but the kiss was too much.
So true. I was like, damn writers way to just kill something that had been surprisingly enjoyable.
...and now I'm off to finish my post-ep fic.
YAY! Cannot wait to read.

Date: 2007-10-18 03:25 am (UTC)No doubt that Blake was BTS making her laugh!
I'm sorry, but the lipstick, the lipstick just killed me.
YESSSS! You know Leighton was like "OMG I have to have the lipstick perfect! Blake, come make out with me so my smeared lipstick looks perfect!"
I really like the development of Lily
Being the huge Melrose fan that I am, I *squee* every time she's on the screen anyway.
Basically if they put Blake and Leighton on screen together there's going to be chem-is-try.
Of course. Waldsen wouldn't be what it is if not for the Bleighton!
I forgot to mention my love of Blair's "I'm not a stop along the way, I'm a destination!"
Oh! And in relation to Serena's "touch my girl and die" defense of Blair...a friend showed me some pics of Blake sitting on some girl's lap on the GG set and she was like "Uh-oh, someone's about to get a Leighton ass kickin!"

Date: 2007-10-18 11:35 am (UTC)Oh Leighton you come up with the best ideas. I think I'm gonna try to break someone out of somewhere just so I can have Blake come smear my lipstick too!
Waldsen wouldn't be what it is if not for the Bleighton!
So true! And that's how you know that the Waldsen will never die. Because they don't even mean to be so smoking hot no one will be able to take it away. Although, given the books, they should be deliberate gaying them up occassionally as well!
Blair's "I'm not a stop along the way, I'm a destination!"
That line was so perfect. And totally coupley. That's not something you say to your best friend, that's something you say to the significant other who has been ignoring you, and needs a wake up call. Serena, treat that girl right! You know how much trouble she gets into without you around to occupy her with your stunning good looks!
a friend showed me some pics of Blake sitting on some girl's lap on the GG set and she was like "Uh-oh, someone's about to get a Leighton ass kickin!"
What pictures? Can they be linked to? Do we know who this homewrecker is?
*is slightly gleeful at the idea of Leighton releasing her inner Blair to fight for her woman*

Date: 2007-10-18 12:56 pm (UTC)Yes! The gayness is mentioned at least once in every book. Oh producers, you have cast the perfect girls to play out the gay.
That line was so perfect. And totally coupley.
And her voice when she said it! <3 Leighton is amazing.
What pictures?
This be the picture
And just for the hell of it...Blake. 'Nuff said.
