starsthatshine | Gossip Girl: The Blair Bitch Project

I think this probably has to be my least favourite episode in a while. Probably because I hate Jenny. Hate, hate, hate. Much more than any other TV character I can remember at present. She's just so... childish and stupid and just... I know that there are a lot of people who are like her and all that but... I can't stand them in RL and I can't stand them on TV either. I mean, I understand she was embarrassed and ashamed of herself but trying to make it to Rufus' fault when she explained why she stole the dress? God. She needs to learn to take responsibility for her own mistakes and I can't believe anyone would steep that low to gain anyone's favour - why would they even bother if they treat them like crap? It's a mystery to me.

I warmed up to Nate during the strike and I do admit that this episode wasn't his finest moment but I do get the whole 'got a good aim' comment since he's like... wounded and all that but one would think he would react to her being a total biatch when he a few seconds earlier said that she was not like the other girls. Also, if Nate/Jenny EVER happens, I will so stop watching the show.

Eric, I love thee. And I kinda ship Chuck/Eric, in a not so serious way. They are perfect together and I like that Eric likes Chuck. God knows that the poor soul needs a break from all the people who hate him. They are total BFFs. Also, I like that Eric is like... actually getting a personality and stopped being Serena's accessory (or Jenny's). Yay!

Blair... She continues to be totally hilarious and probably my favourite character on the show, however this wasn't her best episode... probably because she's been like... just dethroned and all that but... She still owns and I'm REALLY excited about the upcoming episode (but more on that later...)

Serena. Still convinced that I'm not the biggest fan, but she does remind me of someone at school so that gives her a few points. Also, I kinda like the idea of Serena being the kindest person but a little bit dumb and naive (I like Serena, I just don't love her) because quite frankly I can't see anything else that explains her behaviour. But then again people, let me emphasise: I mean dumb in a good way. Not so excited about the "G" storyline though.

I hope Chuck moves back in with "the family" and that Eric turns into a nice, mini!Chuck (although someone would probably say those two are polar opposites but I don't agree ;)). Anyway, it's kinda funny how an episode I really didn't like that much (2.5 or 3/5) could make me like a character (Eric) so much more than I did before. Besides, I think the guy who plays Eric has a really nice voice. *is a little bit of an English snob and loves accents - except own accent which I want to kill with a blunt hammer and... well, Svennis' accent needs to die too but then again... he doesn't have an accent since he can't actually speak English - he speaks Svengelska (Swedish + English = Svengelska)*

About Jenny, I just have to say that I totally agree.

I hope Chuck moves back too because he and Eric made me go "awww". I think Chuck didn't reach out to Eric just because his dad told him to bring out his best behavior, I think Chuck actually likes being a "big brother" type to Eric. Eric being mad at Serena for getting Chuck kicked out was totally understandable.

I wrote something similar about Serena in my entry. I get the impression that Serena, even during her party days, was more of a naive, fun loving girl who probably didn't realize the consequences of her actions. At least not until she slept with Nate.

(I really need more icons lol)

I need an anti-Jenny icon. I just feel like that's the only way I'll stop being bothered by her and every time I feel like she's being annoying I can use that icon and then feel a little bit better :P

Did you hear the spoilers btw? I'm thinking about making a post commenting on them because some of them make me so ridiculously excited :D I loved Eric. He's really growing on me. It's weird.

Definitely. I get the same vibe :D

Lalalalala, I can't hear you... *covers ears*

Lol, I'm trying to stay spoilerfree but I've accidentally read some spoilers. I am very excited about the rest of this season too, this show is seriously addictive.

And Eric is adorable. I'm so hoping for more scenes with Eric and Chuck!

No worries, I wasn't hinting at any spoilers (I wouldn't be that mean towards someone who's trying to be spoiler-free) so you're safe :D The show is addictive but I've realized it's probably not a show that you rewatch because then you realize how extreme and sort of ridiculous everything is (in a good way).

Eric is love. And I'm on that more Eric/Chuck scenes train :D

Gossip Girl is really a guilty pleasure... although I'm thinking that in a distant future, I'll get the DVD set and save it for days when I'm sick, at home and in desperate need of addictive, feel good entertainment. Aside from that, I find myself rewatching scenes just to get ideas on what to wear. ;)

Haha. That's true, although for myself, who is a bit poor (my cost is about 100 SEK/month if even that and I'm not exaggerating) it can cause cravings and then lead to some disappointment since the majority of my wardrobe is from middle school :P hehe

However, it does make me interested in wearing original things and stuff, even if I don't own anything ;)

Ironically, the show has made me buy less clothes. But watching it did give me ideas on how to combine clothes I already have differently or adding one thing that makes stands out when I'm wearing a boring outfit. I think I'm a little less scared to try something original rather than just putting on jeans and a shirt like I usually did.

I've also bought a bunch headbands for 5 crowns each and wear them regularly because I've been so Blair-inspired. ;)

Everything bad that happened to Jenny in this episode was her own fault, nobody else's. She couldn't afford the things she feels she needs to have, she's pressuring herself to be with the "in" crowd, she says she lost her friends when they were never her friends to begin with (and will only be associated with her for superficial reasons, ex. when she brought Nate it was because he was a BOY and they were then complaining there were no boys at the place -- which is something I cannot get over, like she STOLE a one-of-a-kind dress and yet that's forgotten because of a BOY?! SAY WHAT?!) and blames all of this on her dad. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY, BITCH. SRSLY!

While Blair has been de-throned I liked her wanting to scheme her way back in, even though it backfired. I wanted to bitchslap Jenny so hard for that. Ugh! Blair will get her back though. I know she will, because she is Blair Waldorf and that's what she does.

Chuck + Eric = OTP. I'm such a shipper.

I like Jenny, but she comes across as immature and nieve most of the time--and calculating and manipulative other times. It's like the writers can't make up their minds.

The next few episodes (I'm such a spoiler addict) sound sooo good!
