Gossip Girl B/Witches Of Bushwick


Since Gossip Girl has been on air (bless that day) it has had many OMFG moments. First they advertised their bad reviews like so..



which I think was pretty clever


There have been plenty of shocking storylines, many drugs from marijuana to cocaine (remember Serenas big secret in season One where the guy overdosed and died?) pregnancies, ridiculous promiscuous behavior, deaths, divorces, threesomes etc. Nothing has shocked me yet or made me say Dude, that was Not cool.


But this weeks episode made me say the Exact thing. I am sorry but Juliet took it a little far with the whole drugging and apparently kidnapping Serena. First of all I think its ridiculous that Vanessa and Jenny are this whole team Brooklyn and want to show the other how it feels to be an outsider. I really do not get the whole concept.  The Four (S,B,C,N) grew up together and have a similar background. So what? They didn't ask for it did they? Why must they be attacked for being born and raised a certain way. Everyone has a background. Instead of being comfortable in it why must some people attack others. By doing so, Vanessa and Jenny making themselves apparent outsiders. Anyway I am getting a little ahead so I am going to rewind to the start.


The episode starts off with Eric and Elliot drawing stuff and Serena comes along and she instantly know its a Venn Diagram. I was nicely surprised to know that Serena knows what a Venn Diagram IS. The writers have stretched the whole Dan-Serena-Nate thing for way too long its getting very annoying. She hasn't been able to PICK one since the ending of last season.
Anyway, the Vanessa-Jenny-Juliet triangle has gone into complete bitch/psycho/need therapy mode. Juliet may possibly have a little crush on Jenny,she was falling all over her and her evil plans. She even proposed being a slave for her ( okay WORKING for her). When Jenny goes to Lily, telling her about Juliet, I saw a little hope for Jenny but alas the writers had tricked me and little J is still a bitch. Sigh.


I consider myself to be pretty 'tech savvy' but maybe not since I do not understand WHICH phone company allows for the existence of two SIM cards with the same number. One SIM card doesn't receive anything, just the outgoing works and the duplicate can receive and send. Wow. Need to suggest that to the Vodafone Puppy.


One realistic thing that happened in the episode and I can relate to was Lily being all Momma Bear on the dean. I know many mothers ( Hi! Mom!!) who will defend their child with all their instinct from any outsider but will give them hell for the same when the two of them are alone. And that is exactly what happened between super mom Lily and Serena.


 Also the dig Juliet made at Lily " Van der woodsen, Bass, Humpfrey, WHAT is her last name" was SO not cool. If I were Serena ( I WISH) Juilet would have a black eye right there and then!! 




Our beloved Chuck and Blair have a little problem. They both have people in their lives telling them to make changes (i.e stop seeing eachother) so they don`t ruin their image, you know for work and stuff. They still manage to help eachother out while indulging in their favourite pastime. And while talking about Balenciaga and Public condemnation Chuck utters those three lovely words.They both ignore it assuming that he did not mean it.
But the ever wise Dorota knocks some sense into Blair who quickly strips down to her nightie and goes to Chucks 'Sinners and Saints' Masquerade.


Meanwhile the awful three ( Juliet Jenny and Vanessa ) are playing around with Dan and Nate. (God those two are dumb) Gossip Girl has to play her part (the show IS named after her) and lets it slip ( yeah right ) that Serena is wearing a Carolina Herrera dress to the Masquerade. Now the writers are REALLY running out of ideas. Do you remember the last masquerade party where Jenny posed as Serena once again and Nate told her he loves her. Come On!



 Juliet puts the money she just received from her recent black mail from Lily to good use and buys two identical dresses, one for herself and Jenny. Both of whom are going to pose as Serena and screw with Dan and Nates head a little more. I dont know how that is possible since neither Juliet nor Jenny have the boobs or the messy bed hair of Serena. Also Juliet isn`t as BLONDE!


Desperately awaiting for the end of these three b...um witches


To sum it all up the two blonde idiots succeed and ruin Serenas relationship with Dan Nate and Blair. Blair and Chuck decide they WILL be together after all but Blair soon decides she needs to be her own person before she can be Chucks ( good for her! )
The best part is ofcourse that the ego between them has gone and they do in fact love each other.






The fashion of the episode was meh. Nothing significant AT ALL thus this very long recap. I didnt think any of the outfits were worth mentioning.


But tell me who do you prefer Serena with. Nate Dan or the latest tight dress she has on? 


Favourite Quotes


Serena: A Venn diagram? Really? You seriously expect me to make this monumental decision with colored pencils and graph paper?
Eric: Don’t mock. Eliot got an 800 on his math SATs.
Eliot: Probability. Set theory. It’s basically what they do when you sign up for an online dating service.
Serena: Okay, E’s harmony.



Juliet: I should have known taking down Serena involved wearing the perfect dress.
Jenny: Well, any time I can combine styling with revenge. Plus this isn’t exactly my first masquerade party.



Blair: As long as I’m with you, I’m Hilary in the White House. And I want to be Hilary, Secretary of State. But with better hair


Blair Waldorf: my black Balenciaga will be perfect to publicly condemn you. 
Chuck Bass: i love poplin. 
Blair Waldorf: i love condemnation. 
Chuck Bass: i love you. 
……………… 
Blair Waldorf: of course no one does black like
Dior.
