I’ll start with things I love so far this season, in Gossip Girl.

1. Chuck and Blair. Finally, we get Chuck and Blair, after two seasons of dangling it in our faces, we finally get it. And all of it. Too much of it even. Every Chuck and Blair scene feels like a gift from the Gossip Girl gods, almost too good to be true. I say almost because of Blair. Really? Why? What’s wrong with Blair? See the list further down for clarification.
   
   
2. Chuck kisses a boy, onscreen. Come on! How was that not one of the best scenes on television in the past twenty years? Exaggeration? Maybe a little. But I for one watched it over and over and over again. I don’t know why you didn’t do the same. I want to hear more about the other boys Chuck’s kissed! In related news, there’s a promised threesome. This may or may not make it to this list, we’ll see.
   
   
3. Carter, and only because I can never deny Sebastian Stan! Even he seems to have disappeared for now though. Fangirls everywhere pray for his return. What am I doing mentioning praying two blogs in a row? Worst atheist ever. Anyway… on to #4!
   
   
4. Oh wait… there isn’t a fourth. What a shame.
   

As for things I can’t stand this season..

1. Hilary Duff. I’m sorry, but WHAT IS HILARY DUFF DOING ON MY GOSSIP GIRL?! I realize your ratings suck Gossip Girl. I realize Hilary will draw in viewers. But did it have to be Hilary? Really? One day you were thinking hmm… who should join the likes of Blair Waldorf and Georgina Sparks? LIZZIE MCGUIRE! Did that thought process really happen? In all fairness, I will concede that she is SLOWLY growing on me. You can’t make me like the idea though.
   
   
2. Tyra Banks. Wow. This was my biggest wtf moment so far this season. I cringed every time Tyra came on screen. You know when your mom tries to get to know your friends and just wants to be young again? Ya. That should never have happened on Gossip Girl. Especially with Tyra Banks.
   
   
3. Privileged/Reba girl whose name I can’t be bothered to Google or IMDB right now. She played Nate’s love interest, you remember her. So I admit, I did watch every episode of Privileged. I liked it. It was alright. But again, to add her to Gossip Girl? Really? No.
   
   
4. Nate. Where is Nate? Is he slowly being written off the show? Why isn’t he associating with the rest of the group? I feel like he has his own spin-off or something and sometimes crosses over to say hi to Chuck or Serena. I miss Chuck, Blair, Nate, Serena, and occasionally Dan all together. New additions to the cast are ruining that whole dynamic.
   
   
5. SCOTT. Scott! First of all, whoever plays him can barely act. Second, I was over the whole Lily/Rufus lovechild thing before it even started. Let’s just pretend it never happened Gossip Girl.
   
   
6. Blair. Where’s Queen B from previous seasons? I hate to say this because I LOVE Blair, but this season’s Blair is shrill and annoying. She’s bearable when Chuck is there, but even then, its getting a little hard to watch her scenes. I don’t know if it’s Leighton’s acting or the script, but something has to change!
   
   
   I don’t know if all that bad can outweigh the good, but either way, I’m going to be watching, I mean… it’s Gossip Girl.
