The Lost Boy

From the Script
(simultaneously)
Serena: "Please tell me it was Blair and not Georgina."
Vanessa: "Please tell me it was Georgina and not Blair."
 
Chuck: "She stole my shoes?"
 
Girl at registrar: "My last boyfriend told me his dad invented the battery."
 
Georgina: "Judging by the size of the sock on the door, I didn't want to knock."
 
Blair: "You might want to take a DNA sample down to the 24th precinct tomorrow."
 
Serena: "If you want to date Georgina, more power to you. I'd just check to see if there's an ice pick under her bed."
 
Serena (to Dan): "Did I just catch you on a walk of shame?"
 
Blair: "I already have my bidding paddle."
Chuck: "I'm sure we can find some other use for it."
 
Blair: "You're really making a huge mistake. Bye!"

Realism
Vanessa's reaction to Scott's confession? "Oh my god..." -3
 
Of course Blair didn't know what the sock on the door meant. +2
 
Dan describes his relationship with Georgina as "we're just... hangin out." +1
 
Georgina hasn't changed at all, because no one ever does. +1
 
Chuck and Blair were arguing to the point that they forgot to continue bidding and let someone else win. -1
 
Carter definately went way too far in Santorini two years ago... AND Europe this summer. -2
 
Why were there paparazzi at an auction? -1
 
Carter just walks away from paying his hotel bill, after his card was denied and the hotel man was supposed to inform the authorities. -2
 
Everyone believed Scott when he said his brother was Rufus and Lily's son. THAT's why he went through all that trouble. You've got to be kidding. -2
 
Chuck couldn't even have a quickie with Blair, when it's been five whole days?? No Chuck Bass would do that, even if he had an important business meeting in several hours. -3
 
Georgina's background on her laptop is of her and Dan on the first night they hooked up. +2 (cause she's a creep)
 
Sum Total: -8 Dang GG.. gettin a little out of control.

Best WTF Moments
Neither Chuck or Blair got the photo. Serena did !
 
Instead of telling everyone the truth, Scott tells them that he is the brother of Rufus' son.
 
Serena realizes that Georgina made up the whole photo thing to mess with Chuck and Blair.
 
Bree has been looking for Carter. WTF did he do to the Buckleys?

What the Bluck ?



The Freshman

From the Script

Blair: "Dan's a writer?"

Blair: "Georgina, please. Nobody wants greasy pizza and Vanessa's home movies when there's a sushi and sake party next door! Did I mention wasabi facials?"

Georgina: "Jesus and I have redefined our relationship."
Blair: "You mean he dumped you because he found out you were satan!"

Dan: "Noo headbands in college."

Blair (to Chuck): "You were right about the dorms. The lighting is awful."

Realism
(Inspired by New York Magazine)

Nate and Bree have an in bed chat. Throughout this conversation, they flip each other over way too many times to believe. -2

When learning about each other, Bree goes into Nate's pants to see what's in them (his pockets people), finds his wallet, but doesn't go in it. That's the first thing you look at stupid. -1

The fact that from high school to college, Dan successfully went from "Lonely Boy" to "Popular Hunk". Seriously, there's like a switch that goes off in guys that make them mature overnight. +2

Anyone who couldn't figure out that Scott is a creep (if you haven't already at this point) by the time you see him wearing that hideous pink sleeved shirt. -1

How come Serena and Blair both fail to discuss the fact that they have both had steamy Carter Baizen sex? -1

Here's where the writers went wrong... college students could not get away with cocktail parties in the common room, as well as huge rooftop underage keggers. -3 And how would they have gotten away with bringing the kegs un the building? Um no. -1

Just for the fact that they played "Good Girls Go Bad" while Blair went to (most likely her first) keg party. -1

Carter always happens to be roaming the sidewalks of New York. Does he inhabitat some type of residence or have anything better to do? -1
 
Blair put on her first headband of college in such a proud way. That's queen B for you. +1
Chuck is scolded to only give out advice on what he knows. Which is never again drinking absinthe with Daniel Baldwin. Because Chuck always gets into crazy situations. +2

Blair wasn't informed about her roomate assignment prior to move in day ? Please. -2

Sum Total : -8 Wow. This episode was not very possible.
For the Love of Eric Damon
Fantastic Sense of Style

Best WTF Moments

1. Scott gave Vanessa a bad reccommendation for a professor. But no one really knew what was going on...

2. Chuck has been starting to get serious about the business. It was a classic Serena moment when she blew up his spot to the investor guy. AND Chuck even called her a train wreck!

3. Blair's text "We're here". Ummm who exactly would that be? Oh of course just Jesus's Crew to sabotage Georgina.

Reversals of Fortune

From the Script

Chuck: "Sleeping with the enemy is hot. Why do you think I had the whole Ivanka thing?"

Dan (leaving Blair a voicemail): "I know I'm not someone you want to hear from late at night... or any hour... but I need your help..."

Blair: "I know what you did this summer. And who. Cristiano Rinaldo? I hope you got your shots before you traveled. Should I be worried?"

Vanessa: "Chuck and Blair will be there, if the whole murder-suicide thing I predicted hasn't happened yet."

Blair: "It's not a milestone, it's a gravestone. Settling down means less sex, more silence."

Chuck: "I'm not Chuck Bass without you."


Basstyle (AKA Bad Ass Style)



Realism
Scott creepily looking at his birth certificate while on the phone lying to his adoptive mother. First time he did this was in the series finale of season 2, but he was looking at articles about Rufus and Lily. Not once did he mess up his lies, while basically looking them in the face. -2

Okay, stealing one horse maybe, but two? No one even came looking for Serena and Carter when they were boning in the woods like 50 feet away from the stolen horses. -2

Ahh the art of hooking up with boys in a relationship and then lying about knowing this when your busted, we've all heard this before. +3

Crashing a society polo match? The end. -1

Blair's vision of settling down, less sex more silence. +1

Yeah, Serena van der Woodsen really got all faithful on us and took a vow of silence. Please. -1

Nate doesn't think he will find Bree at Columbia. It's only one of the biggest, most prestigious schools in NYC. +1

Nate also leaves Bree standing alone with his grandfather, her arch rival. This one is for every awkward moment we find ourselves in. +1

Vanessa and Nate hung out all summer and couldn't manage to keep their hands off, at least once, and when they were drunk... and in Prague. +2

Vanessa falls for the secret Humphrey. She can't resist them. She couldn't be with Dan because of Serena, Rufus because he was like her dad, and she doesn't know that she's keeping it in the family. +1

Dan found out "the hard way" how tough it is to break a hundred dollar bill. +1

Vanessa is thrilled not to be a barista anymore, but still goes to the same coffee shop three times in one day. +2

Rufus' frantic attempts to keep his new family together while Lily isn't around. +2

Nate and Bree hooked up. How often do you find love on an airplane, let alone your seatmate? -2

Why is Serena all over those magazines? She's rich, but not THAT famous, except for the Gossip Girl blasts. -2

Has anyone EVER seen pictures of Prince Harry doing shots? -3

Sum Total: 1 [Not totally realistic, but the writers had to spice up the season premiere somehow!]

For the Love of Eric Damon


(I guess he didn't have much love for the season premiere...)

Best WTF Moments

1. Chuck and Blair's little charade. Blair walks in on Chuck about to hook up with some blonde. SUPRISE it was a set up. Blair needed someone to humiliate and Chuck is... Chuck Bass.

2. After they swallowed each other's faces, Nate and Bree argue over politicians. OH S***! Vanderbuilts and Buckleys hate each other. Hmmm... what's in a name?

What the Bluck
