Blair Waldorf needs a devil redeemed, not a donut. Is there any good Chuck/Blair stuff coming up on Gossip Girl? — Janey
And your reward is such: Of course there are great Chair moments coming up! Producers have certainly heard your cries, and all I’ll say is that you should not count anyone out of the running for Blair’s heart. On that note, can everyone please give Josh Schwartz his Twitter back? Also, CONGRATULATIONS. You are the winner of this week's Best Question award for one of the best characterizations of Dan Humphrey I've ever read.

Can you tell us anything about Blair on Gossip Girl and the many men in her life? She’s got her pauper, her prince and her king — how will she ever choose?! I’m really rooting for Chuck and Blair to get back together eventually. Can you tell us if the last five episodes have some drama for them? — Leslie
I don’t know how she’ll choose, but I do know that easier choices have been made by entire branches of the U.S. government. Kidding. But in all seriousness, there is definitely drama to be had, and I hear there’s more than you can handle in the two-part finale, which takes place over one event-filled night in the Gossip-verse (but airs over two weeks for us).

And what about Chuck? Josh [Safran] explains that the theme of this season, for everyone, is “growing up”. “They are all actually taking the first steps to who they are going to be,” says Josh. “Chuck’s journey, even though it looks like he’s a thrill-seeker [in the premiere], that opens the door to a new avenue for him, a new way of life, which isn’t what you’ve seen yet. But I think people will really like it. I think it’s the only actual step in the evolution of Chuck.”

It is a gross misconception that CBers ship
the couple in their current state- they don’t.
They ship them for the potential they have
to be great once they find their way
back from the dark place they fell into.
As Safran said….
”its always dark before the dawn”.
They want to see CB rise from the ashes and grow from the dark place.

I found where I read it. I was on the main S&S board and it was being discussed that there may be a hiatus after episode 8 or 9 and something about a site called Futon Critic was brought up. I think other shows are going on break too so I'm guessing it was probably just spec now. I don't want it to go on break that early anyway so hopefully there's at least 11 or 12 episodes before that happens.

[FumblingTowardsEcstasy]

you mean like a winter hiatus after episode 8 or 9? or a shorter one?

[eli_bear]

ah okay, thanks Mike

Neera maybe the skip an episode like they just did and then winter break

[Bgirloth1]

Just slipping in for a quick visit.

Are they referring to a break around 8 or 9 because Thanksgiving is around those episodes? Generally, there is a repeat around Thanksgiving in the states.

I think they're talking about that but I don't know

I think I'm misunderstanding lol. There's gonna be a shorter one possibly after 8 or 9 right? And then the winter one after 11 or 12? I read that the other shows are taking a break this month and coming back in January. I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore lol, can someone help me out?

Btw, hello to everyone

FYI. November is sweeps month. Sweeps is the term used for a time period where ratings on shows are used to determine rates for advertisers. November and May are the two biggest periods. February and August are smaller periods. This is why shows generally show new, high drama or special episodes during that time. If a show is pulled during a sweeps period, it is a BAD sign. The week of Thanksgiving is usually filled with repeats because holiday viewing is erradic.

I wish there were better spoilers.

well according to some link Rett posted the other, which I don't have, TVD's last episode this year was Nov 10th, but GG started two weeks later so I don't know if that has something to do with the schedule, if GG is going to finish this year at the end of Nov, I have no idea

well it makes sense to have a hiatus over thanksgiving but I always thought they'd break before thanksgiving and come back after the new year...

unless they plan on airing something in December then...idk

[afeverpitch]

I'm pretty sure there won't be a Thanksgiving break this year. I think they'll either run through 5.10 and break after November 28th, or else maybe have the midseason break after 5.12 on December 19th and then return with the 100th episode.

After all, they do have 24 episodes to burn through this season.
