Gossip Girl - 1x05 - "Dare Devil"
Oct. 17th, 2007 06:08 pmAs 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 09:25 pm (UTC)Matthew Settle is sex-ay. I watched the movie "The In Crowd" simply for his hottness (okay, Susan Ward might have had something to do with it!). But Rufus's hair was KILLING me. Now that it's tamed I can enjoy Matt's good looks again :D
And I totally haven't missed Nate. It's too bad he has to come back :(
One of us has to write a Sleepover Story from last year when Serena was there!
lol, someone should turn over the hour glass :D
Really, she's gifting herself.
LOL, so true. But that's our Blair :)
I think Blair stock went up by 100 points with that delivery.
Yeah, I totally love Blair, but that scene was just like "now I love Blair infinity PLUS ONE!"

And I totally haven't missed Nate. It's too bad he has to come back :(
We're gonna rue the day Chuck let him escape from whatever male bonding adventure they were on.
Also, Chace is the actor I spend the most time really trying to decide if I find him attractive or kind of moppet-y. I may be in the minority here but I think he's way cuter with the hair slicked back. He looks less like Ian Somerhalder's squinty-eyed younger brother. Seriously, there are some BROWS on this show with him and Ed on the scene.
LOL, so true. But that's our Blair :)
She knows how to give AND receive.
Yeah, I totally love Blair, but that scene was just like "now I love Blair infinity PLUS ONE!"
didn't know that was even remotely possible but leighton defies all expectation.
