    I did an itunes review! :) && I’d love to participate in the roundtable episode of TGAD! Is it okay if I use my macbook internal microphone? Will it work? I have no idea, haha.

    IDK how I felt about the fashion. All of Serena’s outfits were awful. Blair’s weren’t the best but they looked cute on her, Chuck looked dashing, Nate looked how (but what’s new) and Jenny wasn’t as scary as she has been lately! YAY! :)

    Rufus wanting to invest.. oh god. Rufus proposing doesn’t interest me! I don’t care about Lily and Rufus at all. His scene with Jenny was cute though!
    Vanessa/Dan needs to happen! I hope they were hinting towards something with them together this week.
    Nate leasing the apartment was fine, I understood but asking Blair to move in was ridiculous! He only did it because of Chuck.
    Speaking of Nate & Chuck, why did they keep repeating the same thing over and over? ‘You’re my friend, right?’ ‘We can talk about anything, we’re friends.’ It was so ridiculous and unbelievable. Also, why did Chuck even talk to Nate after he left without a word in 2×21?!

    I am so over Serena! She’s so stupid and doesn’t understand any of her actions or what people are doing to her! I couldn’t believe that she didn’t believe Blair & Chuck that Gabriel was sketchy when she knows what they’re both like! They love to have little schemes to ruin or humiliate people and this is exactly what Gabriel is doing! Stick to what you know, Serena; let your light shine.

    CHUCK/BLAIR = PERFECT. I loved every scene they had together, particularly in the limo when they woke up! I don’t even know what to say about them, there’s not enough words!

    I am loving Georgina! Aww her outfit was amazing! How could you not like it? :(

    I rate it 4.2 spying berets out of five!

    Hey Guys (:
    I am really excited about the contest for the book. Is it also possible for me to enter? Cuz the shipping (if i win ; D) won’t be that easy…
    if i could enter…is it also possible to make a video?

    I give the whole Gossip Girl episode 4.5 ‘poufs’ out of 5, cuz I just loved the Blair storyline. She and Chuck were so cute in the limo!

    btw, when are u going to record the round table episode? i would love to join, but i life in a very different time zone…

    We’re not really sure when we are going to record. We’re just trying to get a feel for where everyone is so that we can pick the best recording time.
