“Sometimes it’s hard to see the lines we’ve drawn until we cross them. That’s when we rely on the ones we love to pull us back and give us something to hold on to. Then there are the clearly marked lines, the ones that if you cross you may never find your way back.” -xoxo Gossip Girl

This election day, no Upper East Sider was far from scandal. Between Olivia’s bathroom boy story on Jimmy Fallon, Tripp Van der Bilt’s election day hoax, and the possible destruction of Serena and Blair, election day was definitely not just about the ballots (but who ever said politics wasn’t dirty anyway?)

Although there may not be ballots involved in Dan and Olivia’s relationship, they might need to start keeping score. After an appearance on Jimmy Fallon, Olivia let the story of their first date slip off the tongue — and it wasn’t the best first date, considering Dan came back from the bathroom with his shirt inside out, not the best impression for any girl. After she told this story on national television, everyone started to call Dan “bathroom boy,” which is definitely a step down from his previous nickname, “lonely boy.” But in true Humphrey, style Dan did not let her scandal affect him, and he let it brush right off his shoulders. Good for you Dan, don’t let the fact that your girlfriend told an incredibly embarrassing story about you on national television get you upset!

National television may not have been kind to Dan, it was kind to Tripp Van der Bilt — at least at first. No one loves a good election day hoax likes the Van der Bilts. In an attempt to bring up his points in the polls, his wife hired someone to fake drown in the Hudson, so Tripp could save him, portraying himself as a hero.

In good gossip girl fashion Vanessa was there to capture the entire thing on film, including filming the part where the fake drowner jumped into the Hudson and swam to a more convenient place to drown. Read the rest of this entry »

“Like all good things, the witching hour must come to an end. True natures are revealed. Tricks turn into treats, and taking off costumes is as much fun as putting them on. Everything returns to the way it was except for little girls who forget Halloween lasts only one night. They wear their costumes for so long, pretty soon they can’t even remember who they were before they put them on.”

If these Upper East Siders know one thing, they know that Blair Waldorf never settles, and this week was no different, even when it comes to the love of her life Chuck Bass. After last week’s sexual boundary-bending episode when Blair tricks Chuck into kissing a man, he is of course a little leery of her. But when Blair finds out Chuck is opening his speakeasy club within 24 hours, she gets down to business. Even after strict instructions to not get in his way, he wants to do this on his own terms. She, of course, does the opposite, because Blair Waldorf takes orders from no one.

After calling her ex-hook up/boyfriend’s uncle and guardian for a little help with a liquor license for Chuck’s new club, it of course backfires. Messing with any Bass is never a smart choice, and Jack Bass is no exception. After guaranteeing he took care of the license, he informed Blair he never got it handled. Basically, a big fuck you to Bass industries and Chuck, and Blair. This made Chuck’s first major endeavor a failure of sorts, considering the police came to close down the club very quickly after their doors had opened.

But Chuck is not Blair’s love for no reason: Read the rest of this entry »
