Spoilers - GG S&S #1741: Hey, it's our new favorite OTP! Fandom/at each other's throats

CarterT · 09-20-2010, 03:06 PM

Welcome to the Gossip Girl spoiler and speculation thread, feel free to post about any upcoming story-line
and discuss it with the other people in here. We urge you to not bash the actors nor the users
because it's not allowed by the rules, but anything else with a good argument is welcomed.

Effective immediately, the Spoilers Board Moderators reserve the right to temporarily close any
thread that does not heed four official warnings given on any issue. This means that,
if the Spoilers Board Moderators have to come in with four official warnings about
any issue whatsoever, within 24 hours or so, then that particular thread will be temporarily
closed. The duration of closure is subject to the Spoilers Board Moderators' discretion.
Upon re-opening of the temporarily closed thread, said thread will be closed again if any
warnings are given within 24-48 hours of the reopening. Lastly, if numerous warnings need
to be given over the course of a week, and the moderators suspect an attempt to get
around the "four warnings" rule to avoid closure, we reserve the right to temporarily close the thread.

ATTENTION ALL GOSSIP GIRL FANS: From now on, please do not post any picspams or repeated
spoiler images - regardless of who is in them. It takes up space and offends certain
members/fanbases. When we get new pictures, post a few of them once, then link the
rest. They will be added to our photobucket in the OP and can be accessed there from then on.

GENERAL INFO

Kristin said what?:
- William vdW will return next season.
- According to this interview, the writers have a "plan" for Jenny that they want to save as a surprise.
- DS are not together when the season starts; No love interest in the works for Blair; Clémence Poésy not a regular this season. Read here.
- I can tell you exclusively that Chuck and Blair will have, um, relations, of the bom-chicka-bow-wow kind during the upcoming season. At least, that's what my sources are saying. Whether they will actually get back together, well…that I cannot say, sorry. But still, that's a pretty major reason to keep tuning in, right?
- Penn reports GG will add another marriage into the mix.

I haven't seen anyone come up with any well thought out arguments for why DB's dynamic is interesting in a romantic capacity. I kinda wished some would show up but nothing. I'm not really in the mood for any Chuck vs. Blair discussions. A single character is not going to keep me watching the show. I care about storytelling with this move the writers are simply telling me that they don't give a **** so I'm going to peace out from this thread and watch the episodes on my own for a while and then make up my mind whether or not DB is the final straw for me. That was my dramatic exit. Have fun

WORD. I hate OOC and that is what Blair would have to become in DB. And no, there's no great argument for DB other than," Oh' Chuck hurts her" therefore Dan is the solution???? Yeah, that makes sense... Dan who loves Vanessa and Serena and can't make up his mind should suddenly be with Blair

pretty/reckless · 09-20-2010, 03:14 PM

I can't root for CB and I think Chuck hurts her too much but I still don't think DB is a good idea. But, mostly for SB and DS (even though it's probably a huge DS prop anyway)

You know, at this point, why is Dan and Blair SO awful? I don't really believe in Chuck and Blair anymore. I think instead of brigning the best, they keep bringing the worst of eachother's personality. I'm tired of Chuck trying to destroy Blair's life. I'm tired of Blair treating Chuck like he is the worse human being in the world. I'm honestly tired of that dynamic.

Why would Blair not be Blair with Dan? Because he's a Humphrey? If Dan is what Blair needs to realize she deserves to be treated well and to be loved by someone who's not "evil", then be it.

Well arguing is fun and all but I think I'm going to focus on the fact that CB are endgame and just hope and pray they don't ruin B in the meantime.

Lol really? The guy who called her a sweaty horse, ditched her, couldn't tell her he loved her for a whole season even when she begged him to, prostituted her to his rapist uncle for a hotel, etc. I could go on, but I don't want to make a twenty page list out of it. YEP, YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S HARD TO TOP THAT ONE.

Yeah. I'm aware of that. I could probably write a nice little list of everything he's done for her or everything she's done to him, but that wasn't my actual point to begin with.

Like I said, he's been her love interest for the past 3 years and it would actually take a lot to ignore their history and suddenly have Dan fill that spot. Especially when he has his own romantic history with Serena and Vanessa.

How is DB a DS prop? Just curious... Why would BD make Serena chose Dan when it will only show that Dan is not just in love with Serena and Vanessa but with Blair too?

I mean, remember? A kiss ALWAYS means something... I don't think BD will be an ONS. Not at all.

ITA. This whole thing is a bad idea, but I'm waiting for how it happens. Really we don't know much. I'm not gonna string Dan up especially considering how chuck is behaving.

21:21 · 09-20-2010, 03:18 PM

with everything I won't stop shipping Chuck and Blair,
even if I don't like this version of them and Chuck.
but if we get Dan and Blair kissing pictures I'm going to be sad.

I think it will make Serena realize how much she really does want Dan. She was about to choose him in 404. It's going to force Serena to make a decision. Just my opinion although I could be very wrong.

Eh, on a show like this? Not really.

**ds44** · 09-20-2010, 03:20 PM

wait so now dan is in love with blair and him hooking with her means he doesn't love Serena?

A) I don't think dan is in love with her
B) we don't know the circumstances of the hookup
C) dan has hooked up with others and has been shown to still love Serena

Because it will make S open her eyes. Realize that Dan is the one she REALLY wants.
DB will hurt her and she'll finally realize that the hurt means that she wants him, only him.
