Michelle Trachtenberg

Evil Georgina might be returning to the Upper East side!
Last year we met with Serena’s former friend and arch enemy Georgina. When Serena was still a party girl the two used to sleep around and do drugs, but now that Serena has gone goodie two Louboutins Georgina finds sick pleasure in tormentng her.

Hey, anyone tormenting Serena is ok with me and I must say I liked Trachtenberg. As Buffy’s sis (where IS Sarah Michelle Geller anyway? Off having babies? Rehab?) she was a bit too sweet to be true, I like the more curvy, adult version. And her clothes are much, much better.

As with many evil doers, you wonder why they make such a song and dance of being evil, it would be so much easier to just get along.   Or find new friends to go drinking with. But wehey, we need a bit of action in Gossip Girl. Rumors are flying that Georgina is Lily and Rufus’ love child. What do you think?

Of course Georgie could be having a love child of her own, after her fling with Dan?

Ugly Betty

Betty tries to get into an editorial writing program and comes up against Mark. Both have to present concepts for a magazine, and only one of them can get in. Wilhelmina tries to get Connor in the sack, while Daniel has the hots for Connors fiance, Molly, the kindergarten teacher. Justin gets into trouble with his best friend.

I really like Hilda as a mom. For all her trashy talk and low cut dresses, she’s a model mom who always puts her kid first. Betty is an IDIOT for giving up on the stupid writing program just because she may have gotten special treatment. Why the hellll would she give it up just so Mark (!) could get in???? Other than that it is the usual Daniel screws up, Daniel fixes things in the end story line, but it was a feelgood episode.

Blair and Serena

It’s Blair’s eighteenth birthday!
Blair’s mom has a new boyfriend, who is not at all like Queen B. expects (come on B, your dad was gay! Being straight probably makes him a better boyfriend for your mom!) because he’s tiny and, well, looks like something from Deep Space Nine.

Serena and boring artisty Aaron are doing utterly boring stuff with maps, Dan is selling out Chuck to get into Yale and Little J is getting into a cat fight with model Agnes.

I know, I know, I don’t like Serena, but couldn’t she be a lot more unhappy. A venereal disease, a train wreck, something?

Sad moment: Chuck buys his dad a box at the Rangers and all his dad can say is “Nice gesture, but misguided as usual. I don’t have time for hockey games.” Jerk!

Funny quotes:

Blair to Serena: “Who cares about plaque or pretentious artists when your best friend is having a melt down?” (so true!)

Blair to Serena: “A guy starts in his blue period and it’s all great, but then he gets into cubism and it’s some other girl’s eye coming out of her forehead!” (you go girl!)

Gossip Girl: Serena & Nate

Nate and Jenny???? Really?
Why the hell is Blair dressed up like an Alice in Wonderland doll? To get into Yale?!

Anyway, Blair gets stuck with the young daughter of some old crone who might help her get into Yale (yup, Yale. Again) Of course the old hag LOVES Serena and can’t even remember Blair’s name. Yawn, yes, we get it, everybody loves Serena, now can she be hit by a bus? The young sweet child turns out to be a slutty teen out to lose her cherry and runs into none other than Chuck Bass. Though why he would be interested in a yikes 13, 14 year old? Kinda gross! Meanwhile, Jennie is staging a guerilla fashion show, which looked kinda ok. Gosh, why did I waist all those years in high school going to boring classes etc. when I could have started my own fashion line?

Gossip Girl TWBB was an ok episode, not wow, not crap, just average. Little J is getting a LOT more air time than anyone could care about, Blair is acting like an idiot, Serena is mooning over dorky artist guy (that failed tiny moustache drove me insane. And the stupid red scarf. Dan is starting to look better and better!) and Nate, gorgeous, albeit frightfully boring and stiff Nate, is into Jennie? Yikes. Isn’t that illegal? She’s, like, 12?

Anyway: funny quotes
Blair to Serena: The guy gave you a ring pop when you were seven, move on!
(so true!)

Jailbait Girl to Chuck: “By the way, my name is…”
Chuck: “Let’s not spoil the moment with you talking.”

Chuck & Blair

No HIMYM alas last night! Because of the world series? I don’t care about the world series!!!!! I want my weekly fix of Marshall and Barney! Anyway, there was Gossip Girl though, apparently Manhattan’s too chique to be bothered by a little thing like the world series and it was actually pretty good!

Serena and Dan attend Rufus art opening as nauseating friends, but Serena kills the mood by hooking up with budding artist Aaron Rose (those glasses. Yikes. I know, I know, they are the latest in eyewear and chic, still he looks like an idiot) Little J has to deal with Eleanor Waldorf, who is attempting to “borrow” Jenny’s designs. Sighing, saw that one coming a mile away. Also: she’s been working there for what? A week? Already the daggers come out?  Blair attempts to seduce Chuck, why?, who doesn’t want to sleep with her. Reaaaally? A 17 year old boy doesn’t want to sleep with a nubile young girl until she tells him she loves him?

GG hasn’t been my favorite this season, but I liked tonight’s unlikely teaming up of Dan and Blair, trying to seduce Chuck.

What’s with the hair though? ‘Shorter, blonder’? She looks like a druggie.

Best quote of the week? There were a lot of them, but this one really cracked me up:
Sorry J., but in the real world you can’t take a note to the principle when a drunken model eats your homework

Blair

Gossip Girl went all Dangerous Liaisons/Cruel Intentions on us. Nice try, but Blair gave up way too soon, and there was none of the tension. Chuck apparently took one look at wholesome Vanessa and caved completely. Jeez…..  Vanessa must be one of the most boring people on the planet and thick as three planks to fall for Chuck. Doesn’t she watch tv? At all?! And Chuck actually interested in Boring Vanessa? Puhlease! Even though even he must get really tired of Blairs stupid hairbands….

Serena acting like the spoiled brat she is was ok, but they need a new storyline, something interesting, an arc, can’t Blair get pregnant or something? Cause I’m BORED!

Here’s the working (or at least it was Megavideo sidereel link
