I loved the opening scene where Nate was trying to teach Blair how to get on the subway: “Please don’t ask this of me.” I love our little drama queen!
Love the coat, not so hot on the bag.

I was a little annoyed by a continuity issue though: they have totally shown Blair and Serena downtown before – and in fact, they’ve even shown them in Soho (which is where Nate and Blair were, although I think they were trying to portray the neighborhood as the East Village/NYU?). UGHH,
ANYWAY, why all the hating on Murray Hill? Nate TOTALLY looks like one of those collar up “bro” dudes in Murray/Curry Hill who walks around in their college letters. Though if he really wants to live equidistant between NYU/Columbia, that would be more like Koreatown, my friend.
Dude, dude, dude. Bro. Yeah bro, let’s grab some brews after the Zog game. Let’s go to Ginger Man, dude! Dude!!! Bro! Braaaaa?

I’ve really had enough of this do-gooder tobacco baron! EWWW. He’s the only person who mumbles more than Serena. “Serena didn’t steal me. She swept me away.” Because she’s so exquisite? Ugh, God. Also, this guy’s hotel room looks like the lounge of a MePa ladies’ room. I hate this storyline, and I REALLY didn’t have the patience to hear about all that crap about Butter…which, BY THE WAY, is right near NYU.
Whatever, it’s time for a picture of Blair:
GORGEOUS, are you kidding me?! I love this girl.

BTW, Dorota’s a Mets fan?! Awesome!!!
Also, did anyone else catch the Dove “Real NYC Stories Revealed”? This week they had Chrissie Miller aka Jenny Humphrey +20 years.
This episode annoyed me on many levels – I thought the Blair-Nate-Chuck thing was so tired. PLUS, I don’t want any further Georgina nonsense. She was HILARIOUS as a brain washed Salvation Army camp counselor. On Serena: “I have so much love in my heart for that girl.” Awesome! Scientology is working out for you! Just leave her in the damn woods, Chuck!
Just leave her to Popsicle sticks and pipe cleaner crafts, Chuck. Just because you are dressed like P. Diddy’s manservant doesn’t mean you can’t travel alone!

Now let’s turn to the middle class honkies on this show:
First of all, thank god they added a little more volume to Jenny’s hair!
Second, YES to Rufus selling the Lincoln Hawk catalog!!! “Every time you walk away or run away, You take a piece of me with you there….” Hallmark singing card! Bam! Right there! Or maybe a a cell phone commercial? Nike walking/running shoes? I don’t know, the possibilities are endless.
License that shit, make tons of money like Moby, and then your kids won’t have to “chip in” to buy an ugly ass engagement ring for their dad’s girlfriend. Because WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT RING?! It looked like some SkyMall catalog recreation of a LOTR ring – hideo! Lily does not wear things that look like they are from the craft fair at Union Square – even if it is “vintage”!!!
And finally, someone on this show has a BEER!!! Leave it to Vanessa to have manlier tastes than any of the “men” on this show. However, I have to say that it looked a little wack how she was tamely sipping on one bottle with the rest of the six pack neatly displayed on the table. Set dressers: if you are seriously upset, you don’t even bother to take it out of the bag…right?! People, am I right?!
Unforch, I think that GG has been a little derailed. First of all, it seems like Blair likes NEITHER Nate nor Chuck, so can we just move on and focus on getting her some other love interests? Do we really want to go down this plot line about a bunch of high schoolers getting involved in some Ponzi scheme? Not really looking forward to next week’s episode.
And I’m ESPECIALLY not looking forward to next season, where I’m sure we’ll see these kids living “on their own” in massive, decked out apartments in trendy neighborhoods. Also, I like the taboo-ness of watching HIGH SCHOOLERS sleep around with each other. Watching college students in post-coital conversation is like watching pigs eat slop – who cares?!
