Gossip Girl - 1x05 - "Dare Devil"

[fembuck]

As 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.

This ep was so full of win, even without all the Waldsen.

When she was listing off those pills I nearly died.

Gotta love Blair. My fave was "Diazapam. Lorazapam. All the Pams, really. You know, I don't discriminate!"

Pretty much every scene was golden in this ep. I love that Blair breaking Eric out made Lily realize how much she was actually hurting him by keeping him there.

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!"

They had to figure out a way to give us just a bit of Waldsen. And I will take what I can get!!!

I will admit, D/S was semi adorable, but the kiss was too much. Seriously, it reminded me of the Harry/Cho kiss in the last HP movie, where after about the 3rd angle, everyone in the the theatre was groaning.

The CW did not give me any previews :( I want to see Waldsen all snuggled up in bed together!

...and now I'm off to finish my post-ep fic.

good lord I hope Blaire simply destroys Jenny for trhat shit
I mean really.. how can she compare with the oh so unbelievable Blaire?
she can't, that's how
*enjoys answering own rhetorical questions*

my god.. "Oh, and I"m keeping the jacket"
I would have had 13 high priced lawyers from hell on the phoen the moment that left her mouth...

but the bits where Serena defended Blair was nice
is it blair, or blaire?
eh, whatever
the defending was kick ass

still - I want jenny destroyed for the toes she is stepping on
like GG said - you just don't beat a waldorf at her own game

Okay I posted some things I really liked about this and it proved once again where Waldsen is concerned that great minds think alike.

You, however, managed to make my list look paltry and for that I adore you because you said everything I wanted to gush about!

And before I go on: Rufus is the most handsome man on the show and NO Nate! I love this show.

And WTF! I didn't see the snuggling either.

But wait! You know what this means, right? One of us has to write a Sleepover Story from last year when Serena was there!

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!"

I think you can surmise how I felt about THAT!

Having a rack of fabulous clothes dedication to Serena

Because you know that smirk was like, 50% how great that dress would look on S and 50% getting to see that dress on S. Really, she's gifting herself.

The lipstick smeared all over her face just made it that much more hilarious.

Classic. The lipstick was oddly adorable and I think Blair stock went up by 100 points with that delivery.


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).

I hear that loud and clear, dude. Weird. I just keep picturing her as a Who.

And finally, YAY for drunken, boozy adventure but is it too much to ask to get some Waldsen boozy, adventure?

I have not words for how much I liked Blair/Leighton on this episode really, she was beyond awesome. But you guys are forgetting another little Waldsen moment...when Blair is looking at Serena and she tell her "Remember S? the most important night of the year?" (or something like that) God! that look was so, SO sexy.

And I like Dan but agree, the kiss was too much for my loyal Waldsen heart LoL...nah, the date was ok and actually he was charming and cute.

But the best was Serena defending Blair. So adorable. And wth with the waiting list? LoL that was hilarious. Oh Blair-bear, you're the cuteness walking.
