Gossip Girl: The Blair Bitch Project

[starsthatshine]

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)*

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.
