What makes CB stand out for you?

They are so different from most tv couples. I like that they aren't sweet and mushy around each other. I watch the episodes hoping for as much interaction between their characters as possible. ~ Caitlin

Victor Victrola was my first episode to watch so I never saw the previous episodes when they shared the small moments. After seeing the limo scene, I knew they were it. They were the couple that I will madly fall in love with. How did they make me completely drawn to them within minutes? Thats what made them stand out to me. It was the astonishing chemistry. ~ Lilly

I have never shipped a couple like them before. I usually go for the "sugar cookie" couple. But these two just hooked me individually and then together. Why wouldn't they be a couple. They are both sooo amazing! ~ Marie

First of all Chemistry. That's what I look for in a couple and they have tons of it. They are what shows would categorize as "bad characters" but they are so much more than just that. They are also so alike that they actually make sense. ~ Laura

..everything about them stand out..they both are soo evil to eachother but they only get eachother ..no one else on the show has that.. ~ Eli

Art.

By Pauline <3

by Jidsy <3

Why do you think they are so well suited?

They're so much alike. They both enjoy scheming, and they know each other so well. ~ Caitlin

Because they can be the schemers of the day and lovers of the night. They may be opposites on the outside but on the inside, they complete eachother. They understand each other more then anybody else around them. ~ Lilly

They understand each other. They can be honest and open and they see through each other. Blair can be more free physically and emotionally. She doesn't have to put on an act because Chuck could see through it. And Chuck Bass usually doesn't like it when girls talk, but he likes and listens when Blair does. I think she is the only girl that he has ever really cared about. ~ Marie

They understand each other like no other person does. They have a lot of history together and from what we've seen, they like to hang out together and push each other's buttons. ~ Laura

..because they both have this mentaly were there kinda the same..and it compliments eachother..soo well ~ Eli

By Sophie (starryeyesxx)

What is your fave CB Episode and why?

It would have to be Victor/Victrola. I already shipped CB before that episode, but it really solidified my love for them. ~ Caitlin

Victor, Victrola. Only because it was the first Gossip Girl episode I ever saw and I was grateful enough to be able to catch probably the hottest TV love scene I ever saw in my entire life. ~ Lilly

Oh god! I don't know! lol It is a tie between V,V and 17 Candles. I guess i will choose V,V because of that limo ride that changed me forever! I love V,V from beginning to end. The friendship in the beginning is beyond words adorable! You can tell he cares for her opinion and she is proud of him! And then the sexy stuff! The dance was just was sooo great! She felt relief and she felt free dancing for Chuck! And then the limo...

The hottest love scene ever on TV. And we didn't even get to see that much! The music, the kisses, the looks, the everything! ~ Marie

I guess I would have to say Victor/Victrola where it all began. The episode established their history and showed that they trust each other. It was a beginning of a great storyline. ~ Laura

my favorite CB episode is a tie between 1.10 & 1.13..both are full of angst and CB own angst lol ~ Eli

by CappieTauLove

What is your fave CB scene and why?

The limo scene at the end of Victor/Victrola. What could be better? Chuck and Blair kissing in a limo with the song "With Me" in the background. It's perfection. ~ Caitlin

To me, I cant answer that question because when I see CB...even one tiny moment of them, they truly light up the whole show because of the energy they give off which always happen. ~ Lilly

The ending of 17 Candles...you can tell that it isn't just a "whatever" with them. Chuck saves her birthday inspite of her treating him like crap. He wants her to be happy and wants what is best for her...and those things do not involve Nate. when he says "he's sorry" he is. He genuinely is! and then he arranges the necklace and the shoulder kiss and she turns into him! ~ Marie

There are so many to choose from but I guess I would go with the limo scene. It might seem like a small thing to some people but having Chuck Bass ask "Are you sure?" was a really big deal. It showed that he respected her. Aside from that, the scene was beautifully filmed with a great song being used. ~ Laura

deffintley the end of 1.13..it gave me soo much hope for the future..the way chuck looked at her as she left..just broke my heart ~ Eli

Images

What do you think Leighton and Ed bring to the couple?

Leighton and Ed bring so many layers to Blair and Chuck. Blair could be the typical bitch if she was played by some average actress. Chuck wouldn't be the same if he wasn't played by Ed. Ed and Leighton have such amazing chemistry, they light up the screen. ~ Caitlin

They bring the physical and emotional qualities between the two characters. They banter in such a sexy way that they are always on equal terms because they both know what they want more then anything. Eachother. The physical...well we all know what the limo scene is. They define the limo scene.
~ Lilly

The chemistry! I think they both have a great understanding of their characters and they put themselves into their roles. And without them Chuck and Blair wouldn't be as wonderful. ~ Marie

Not only chemistry but talent as well. Chuck/Blair wouldn't work so well if Leighton and Ed wouldn't be playing them. They give their characters that extra something that makes them compelling to watch. ~ Laura

they bring all they have..i think 90% of why i lovee CB is because of ed/leighton..there just awesome actors.. ~ Eli

What others say about CB

What we love about Season Two:

*The sexual tension between Chuck and Blair is off the charts. We don't know how the actors do it, but Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester have managed to dial up the chemistry a notch -- and that's saying something after some of Season One's hot Chair scenes.

*Some of our favorite Chuck/Blair scenes this season? Chuck revealing why he skipped out on Tuscany: "I didn't want you to see." "See what?" "See me." Then there was the clothes-on seduction at Blair's party: "Where does he... put his hands?" And finally, the almost-getting-it-on bedroom scene where Blair refused to say those three little words... and then Chuck refused her. For now, at least.

The show's creators called Meester's Blair Waldorf and Westwick's Chuck Bass the king and queen at the center of the Gossip Girl chess game. In the twisted web of the Upper East Side soap opera, Meester and Westwick are so good at being bad that fans can't get enough. And while waiting to see what dirty plan they'll hatch next, you want for Blair and Chuck to get back together just to see their chemistry in action.

Sorry, S and Lonely Boy. Of all the Upper East Side entanglements, it's the unholy union of Chuck and Blair that's really got Gossip Girl on her Twittering toes. "They are true equals," says exec producer Stephanie Savage. "They're both master manipulators and snappy dressers." Savage credits the allure of the dysfunctional duo - a teen Taylor and Burton who barter for sexual favors and bicker over using the L-word - to the off-the-charts chemistry between Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick. "They bring so many layers to their performances that [we] want to go further with the writing to see what they can do." So far, they've done a lot (their limo hookup still has our rearview mirror fogged), but according to Savage, we ain't seen nothing yet. "Chuck and Blair's relationship is about to be tested more than ever...it goes to a pretty dark place." Oh, yeah, you know we love it!

Now our hearts break for... Blair and Chuck? It takes a special kind of show to illicit feelings for what are, ostensibly, two awful human beings. And yet Gossip Girl makes us want to friend them on Facebook.

Quote:

This party, though, was the setting of what I am on record as saying is the most erotic scene in Gossip Girl history. I'm referring to Chuck and Blair's first interaction at her party. The way he brushed her neck. And kissed her cheek. And when he pleaded with her, "Have sex with me." I don't know about you all, but Tim here needed a fan. Or a cold shower. Those two just keep getting better in terms of their chemistry and relationship. You almost don't want them to become a couple because they're so good at sparring.

# "If Beta Bass is anything like the original, I have no doubt that sooner or later he'll disappoint me." How true was Blair when she said those words. Then again, Beta Blair would surely sooner or later back stab Chuck! As it was the case for the Betas, Chuck and Blair need to end up together. Until this happens, I'm willing to be entertained each week by their dancing around one another.

Quote:

I’m not sure who wins in this situation, but Blair and Chuck’s dates are caught making out with one another in a dark corner. Blair can’t believe that their clones can work it out, but they can’t. Chuck says he doesn’t want to change the way things are between them, and they even dance at the end of the night. Those two are so meant to be!

'Gossip Girl' recap: Dan and Serena, work out your issues

Quote:

Chuck and Blair stubbornly refused to ask one another to the Ball, so they decided to find one another the perfect date. They wagered on their skills of knowing what they other wants--Chuck betting his limo and Blair betting my beloved Dorota (who's skills as a housekeeper reach into the realm of Facebook). Unsurprisingly, the two folks they picked out for each other ended up hooking up, and they were left to have a sweet slow dance together. Sparkle tux!

Quote:

Blair couldn’t worry too much about her mother’s impending nuptials when she was so distraught over how Chuck was behaving. This behavior was way harmful. She begged him to let her help. Blair wanted to be a part of Chuck’s life no matter what. But he didn’t understand. Why did Blair care so much? They weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend. And then Blair finally said those three words we’ve been patiently (or impatiently) waiting for: I love you. Blair loves Chuck! Love the sound of that. Too bad, Chuck didn’t care at all. Blair couldn’t stop him from destruction. Massive bummer.

Quote:

At the end of Cyrus and Eleanor’s wedding ceremony, Blair was interrupted. There was a surprise visitor in her bedroom. And who could it be? Why, it was a sobbing Chuck (seriously so devastating to see him like that). Blair comforted him and it was the sweetest thing ever. Looked like it was just what he needed. Unfortunately, when Blair woke up Chuck was gone and had left a note. The note said Blair deserved better than him. She shouldn’t look for him either. WHAT? Right when we thought maybe there’d be a Waldass reunion that happened. Ugh! Talk about disappointing!

More mentions of CB? WHY NOT?!

Quote:

You know who else loves Chuck? Blair! Not that everyone didn't already know that. But it took Bart's death to force Blair to finally, say those "three little words" to her blackhearted soul mate.

And then Chuck left her on the sidewalk! Heartbreaking, not cruel.

TV's Most (and Least) Stylish Characters of '08

Quote:

MOST STYLISH: 1. CHUCK BASS and BLAIR WALDORF, Gossip Girl (The CW)
Their love-hate romance has become nearly epic over the past year — and their fashions are just as grand. The dapper look from Ed Westwick's Chuck — all bow ties, smoking jackets, and pocket hankies — is reminiscent of a bygone era in New York City, when men dressed with class...and panache. And Blair (Leighton Meester), well, she just always looks killer — be it in a lacy and too-too ruffled collar or barely-there cocktail dress — and that suits her catty attitude perfectly.

. Chuck and Blair are entertaining because they're always at the center of the twisted plots on "Gossip Girl" (whether or not it's of they're own making) and they tend to blurt out what everyone else wishes they could say aloud.

6. Blair Waldorf & Chuck Bass (Leighton Meester, Ed Westwick) -- "Gossip Girl"

I could mostly take or leave "Gossip Girl," but there's one thing (actually two) that has really elevated the show and that's Blair and Chuck. Yes, they're conniving, snobby and opportunistic, but they're not just a cardboard mean girl and guy. They've shown they can also be vulnerable, caring and loyal. But when they're bad, they're very good. Leighton Meester and Ed Westick also have some of the best chemistry on the small screen and their tug-of-war relationship gives "Gossip Girl" some real life.

2. Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl

Chuck and Blair are, simply put, perfect for each other. Chuck gets Blair, and Blair gets Chuck. They may fight and scheme and make ridiculous bets involving limos and human beings, but at the end of the day they love each other. They're both so used to protecting themselves first and foremost, but when Chuck's father passed and he needed her, Blair opened up and made herself vulnerable. She told Chuck she loved him. And while Chuck is far to screwed up with grief and alcohol to reciprocate she'll continue to be there for him. And when it's Blair's turn for a crises, you know Chuck will be there for her.

Those episodes of their electric exchanges are priceless.

Now that we're in the holiday TV hiatus time, it’s a perfect time to reflect back on the season so far. Some shows have gone oh so right – the push and pull between Blair and Chuck on “Gossip Girl,”

'Grey's' needs a reboot - Test Pattern - msnbc.com

HOT news?

Quote:

Clearly, everything I write about Gossip Girl every week could easily be about the extreme hotness of Blair (Leighton Meester) and Chuck (Ed Westwick), since they and their twisted relationship are by far the best parts of the show. That scene at Blair's party when Chuck asks her about her (nonexistent) sex life with Lord Marcus? H-O-T!
Intergenerational Coupling on 'Gossip Girl'

They're Equals, Stephanie said so

Quote:

His romance with Blair will be the big draw when the show returns, according to executive producer Stephanie Savage. (A photo of Chuck offering up a dripping piece of cherry pie — and the texty tagline “ready4more” — covered the preview screeners sent to the press this month.) By the end of last season, it was difficult not to root for the caustic relationship between him and Blair, whom he earlier discarded and compared to one of his father's Arabian horses: “Rode hard and put away wet.”

How did this happen? Is this Luke and Laura 2.0? So wrong, yet so right?

“He hasn't victimized Blair. That sort of Stockholm syndrome isn't in operation here,” Savage said. “I think of Chuck and Blair as equals. It's much more Glenn Close and John Malkovich in 'Dangerous Liaisons.'”

Chuck even got analyzed about his love for Blair! did anyone else get that?!

Quote:

Nate and Blair finally ended their relationship giving Chuck a chance to pursue his love. But considering their wild nature, an ordinary relationship just won’t do for both of them. Hence, Blair and Chuck began playing mind games on each other leaving their hearts confused about the real status of their relationship. The fact that both of them like the game made things more complex. They found themselves being in the arms of another as a way of proving who’ll win the game that only the two of them could play. Soon after, a cat-and-mouse chase of being the first to say I-love-you took hold of the two. In between the chase, Chuck found himself paralyzed by his feelings for Blair. He knew it---Blair is the only woman he could ever love and give himself to again. The bad boy fell in love with the only woman he might never have.

CB STEALS THE SHOW!

They steal the show

From the CW Source's best and worst of this season of GG:

Quote:

What we love about Season Two:

*The sexual tension between Chuck and Blair is off the charts. We don't know how the actors do it, but Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester have managed to dial up the chemistry a notch -- and that's saying something after some of Season One's hot Chair scenes.

*Some of our favorite Chuck/Blair scenes this season? Chuck revealing why he skipped out on Tuscany: "I didn't want you to see." "See what?" "See me." Then there was the clothes-on seduction at Blair's party: "Where does he... put his hands?" And finally, the almost-getting-it-on bedroom scene where Blair refused to say those three little words... and then Chuck refused her. For now, at least.

Everyone else is a PAWN while CB is the King and &Queen... YES from the creators lovely mouths

Quote:

In an interview with the New York Post the co-creators likened their soap to “a chess game,” where “Chuck and Blair are the king and queen. Everyone else, except Serena, is a pawn.”

CB needs to keep on being awesome, cause....many dont give a crap about other characters.. ONLY CB!!

Quote:

Chuck and Blair need to keep on being awesome. Gossip Girl, a show that I thought was only okay last year, has quickly become one of my favorite things to watch. I don't give a crap about most of the characters, but the deliciously evil Chuck and Blair keep me coming back every week. Don't ruin this for me.

Ed Westwick - Sure "Gossip Girl" is pure teenage soapiness but Chuck Bass is the most deliciously seductive, evil, engaging character on television right now. Plus, he's a Brit. C'mon HFPA!!! -- He should have been on your radar for sure!

But Blair and Chuck take the cake. The constant games, plotting and teasing each other… only at the end of each episode realizing they can’t ever really be together because the “game” is what they crave.

PART 1 WITH Statistics

CHUCK& BLAIR ARE NO.1 IN POTRAIT MAGAZINE 2009 BEST COUPLE

Quote:

1. Blair & Chuck [Gossip Girl] (3707) 22%

Competition was fierce but in the end, Blair and Chuck conquered all to take out our coveted #1 position, leaping up from their #5 debut last year. And really is it any surprise that these two are #1? Gossip Girl is the latest IT thing so is this duo. They began as confidantes and scheming partners. She was dating his best friend and they ran in the same social circles. Yet somewhere along the sniping and bantering, the feisty pair realised that there was something there between them. He tried to fight his feelings, while she pretended that she didn’t care. But in the end you just can’t fight passion, chemistry, and of course love. They might not be together right now, but everyone know that these guys are endgame and the chase and bickering is all part of the game. Besides they are Chuck and Blair – they can do what they like.

REVIEWS, HIGHLIGHTS
2.14 Reviews

Quote:

"Best Scene: The rooftop, hands down. Ed Westwick continues to impress us with his dark and depressed Chuck, and Blair's appeal to him to come down off the ledge was heartfelt and tragic at the same time. She also managed to school Jack on How To Deal With Ledge Jumpers 101. When Chuck apologized, I won't lie--I teared up a bit."

'Gossip Girl' Aftergasm: Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun...

Quote:

He screams that he's Chuck Bass, and then realizes that nobody cares. Blair, once again, forcefully reminds him that she cares, and reaches her little hand out to him. He climbs down from the ledge and buries his face in her shoulder. He tells her he's sorry, but he means that he loves her.

Quote:

"Of course the big deal in this episode is Chuck and Blair."

"In any case, they badmouthed Chuck, so Blair decided she couldn’t roll with them."

"Blair manages to take a gentler tack, telling him once again that she’ll always be here for him. Chuck finally agrees to come down from the ledge, where he collapses in Blair’s arms and tells her he’s sorry. It’s a sweet scene(...)"

TV Recap: Gossip Girl - In The Realm Of Basses

MORE 2.14 love

Quote:

Blair's concern for Chuck was evident throughout the episode, and as she explained to Serena, she could see in Chuck's eyes how lost he was (as we all could — again, another fine performance by Ed Westwick). Blair kept taking Chuck's bad attitude and verbal abuse, up until the moment he threw her declaration of love back in her face. At that point, she had enough. She started to break down in front of a mirror (Leighton Meester doing some great acting here too), but instead composed herself and resigned to move on, without him.

Quote:

Blair arrived at Victrola in time to talk Chuck off the roof. He was actually on the roof (a place he's fond of being, as only Blair knows), already wasted and still drinking as he walked unsteadily along the ledge, lamenting how his father didn't want him and how, "I'm Chuck Bass!...No one cares." It was his party, and not a sole besides Blair realized he wasn't around. Uncle Jack (who was partying with the high-school kids) didn't really notice until Blair asked him where Chuck was. And as much as Chuck hurt her, Blair once again put her heart on the line and told him that she cared, and she'd always be there for him, no matter what. She asked not to hurt himself, because if he did, he would be hurting her. And it worked. She put her hand out for him, and he took it, and apologized. A powerful scene, making me wish it lasted longer.

15. Blair Says Those 3 Little Words on Gossip Girl

As entertaining as the cat and mouse game between Chuck and Blair is on Gossip Girl, everything that led up to Blair finally uttering those long-awaited 3 words exceeded expectations. The happiness and relief at hearing her utter those words was brief however, and coated with sadness, anger and despair. There’s no other way to do things on Gossip Girl, and we loved it.

Quote:

for single-handedly saving "Gossip Girl" from a season two slump. While the creators seem to think the audience is the most invested in the Humphrey family and their romantic liasions, I am obsessed with anything either of these two characters do.

Whether they're sexily sparring with one another or sharing the screen with assorted others (preferably Dorota), Leighton Meester and Ed Westwick bring unexpected depth and humor to characters that could have easily been one-dimensional brats.

Gossip Girl is no.3 on Grinders Best 10 US tv shows. and guess who's mentioned

Quote:

Some shows succeed because they dare you to look at the worst of human nature and recognise the capacity for evil lurks within each one of us. And then there's Gossip Girl. The CW's teen soap features some of the most unapologetically shallow characters ever to strut their Marc Jacobs-clad stuff across a TV screen and then asks you to cheer for them. The genius of the show is that you do. Gossip Girl really hit its stride in its second season, ramping up the melodrama and catfights to Dynasty levels while keeping the sharp, knowing one-liners flowing. Best of all, in perfectionist Queen Bee Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) and her never-less-than-louche beau Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick) it gave us a Scarlett and Rhett for the text generation.

CB is in the TV's top five first kisses, Chuck and Blair OBVIOUSLY got a SPOT!

Quote:

5 Chuck and Blair -
"Gossip Girl" - Blair breaks up with her boyfriend, Nate, and immediately flees to Chuck's burlesque club (yes, they're 15 years old, get over it). Blair, a bit tipsy, declares to Chuck that "she's got moves." He calls her bluff and she begins one of the sexiest stripteases the Upper East Side has ever seen. The womanizing Chuck then falls head over heels for Blair, his best friend's girl. Back in Chuck's limo, the down-to-her-slip Blair kisses Chuck and promptly sheds her coveted virginity. Now that's what we call an OMG moment.

CB is what everyone wants on their wishlist!

We've made a Christmas wish list for our favorite characters. Here's what we're plotting for a few good (and not so good) girls and boys.

Blair and Chuck get together. Not as a traditional couple (after all, he's Chuck and she's Blair), but as a dynamic duo of another sort. We'd like to see them team up to take on the current economic disaster. They could whip Ben Bernanke into shape and fool around on the floor of the Federal Reserve in the process.

More news about CB making the show addictive! lmao

Quote:

The Riches: Gossip Girl was just an Upper East Side OC until the original leads — ex–party girl Serena, judgmental hipster offspring Dan and pretty-boy Nate — made room for supposed sidekicks Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf. Credit the oozing charisma and fearless fashion of actors Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester, but the pair’s love/hate relationship, möbius strip schemes and insta-icon status have turned what should’ve been a teen-pander disaster (see: 90210 2.0) into 2008’s most consistently satisfying cult series. (But will someone please send Vanessa the bland barista and Aaron the icky artist into exile already.)

Quote:

Someone give that girl an Emmy! She's proved to be a master of the stifled cry, and although her love for Chuck is strong and genuine, it's by no means simple. Blair is just as tortured and dysfunctional as he is, which makes them the perfect TV teen couple of this generation.

Chuck and Blair are again the greatest thing on the show

Quote:

Gossip Girl is the zestiest kind of high-trash delight and it helps that some fraction of the main characters, in particular Blair and Chuck, are not only no better than they should be, but at any given moment, scheming to bring pain and humiliation on someone else.

MORE about how Ed and Leighton are the stars of the show as much as CB!

Quote:

Everyone knows that Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester are the stars of the show as Chuck and Blair. Their amazing chemistry transcends any of the corny lines or awkward story lines and creates something truly electric. I am afraid of the fact that they seem to be heading down the Ross and Rachel path however, with last week's episode portraying another Chuck screw up and a crushed Blair subsequently turning down his make-up bouquet of flowers

CHUCK AND BLAIR TANDEM IS A HUGE HIT, as huge as their chemistry! =KICKASS Couple

Quote:

A recent cursory reading of the comments from Gossip Girl fans made me realize that the Chuck and Blair tandem is a pretty huge hit. It is understandable, the chemistry between these two is hotter as heck. Both are shrewd and cunning and borderline evil. On the other hand, from time to time, we see glimpses of goodness from these two demonized characters. [...] It takes someone as domineering and perhaps overbearing as Chuck to tame Blair. And we all know Blair needs all the taming in the world.

Can the futur be NOW for CB to get together? Couples that SHOULD be together, but arent

Quote:

Chuck and Blair - Gossip Girl

They're Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester). Blair and Chuck. The most devious, screwed up pair of romantics on the Upper East Side. She is the Queen B, a masterful manipulator with the heart of a lonely insecure little girl. He is a decadent womanizer endlessly searching for his cold daddy's approval and never getting it. It was pretty shocking when this pair hooked up for the first time, especially considering she broke up with his best friend Nate only a few hours earlier, but they took over "Gossip Girl" ever since. No one can stop watching this not-really-a-couple try to one up each other as proof of their twisted love, and it sadly has come to an end...for now. Chuck promised that they were inevitable, and that someday in the future maybe they could be the real thing. Can that future be now, please?
