That wounded, puppy-dog look in his eyes (when he made his way back to the lonely/palatial hotel suite) was so tragic it almost made me forget about the time he TRIED TO RAPE SERENA IN THE KITCHEN.

Then again, there is still hope for a reconciliation. After all, this is a world where hot Asians are Jewish, $3 million BK lofts are hopelessly untrendy and stealing one-of-a-kind vintage Valentinos is totally forgivable...

Meanwhile, is anyone else not at all surprised that a 15 year-old pubescent girl wears the same exact dress size as the Popular Girl We've Never Seen Before's mother?

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> recast the actors except ed, taylor, leighton and yes, even chace (let's not upset the gays too much). get some good writers, don't let josh schwartz within a thousand miles of the set. put lolcait as the showrunner and a bunch of gawker regulars as the staff (collegecallgirl, conbon, etc.)

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> @mattymcd: My personal favorite line was "Miz Blair! Wake up Miz Blair!" But I can't help but cackle when The Help gets involved.

As for the Audrey Hepburn thing, I think the show is doing a particularly bad job of translating that part of the books to screen. In the original Gossip Girl series, Blair, being way crazier and more schizophrenic, believes that she is in fact Audrey. That's why there are so many references to Breakfast at Tiffany's (those who were looking carefully may have noticed a photo of Holly Golightly above Blair's bed in her gay dad's chateau): it's not an homage to the film so much as a reference to how seriously fucking nuts B. is.

(Spotted: A twenty-something gay man living vicariously through fictional fifteen-year-olds.)

Audrina: Oh well, I haven't seen him in a really long time. I'm just trying to get over him.
Heidi: Are you ok, do you want me to make sure he doesn't come into this room or anything?

HAHAHAHA. WTF Heidi. Your brain is as stupid as your face. What if Audrina had said yes? Heidi would patrol her table like a mini-bouncer?

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> lo's "omygah i'm so excited." at the prospect of audrina moving in "if you guys want me to" was so painful. as was something about "i mean it won't be any less fun.." a. was definitely at a disadvantage in the grey matter department with lc, but she clearly doesn't stand a chance against the comparatively razor-witted combo of l and l.

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> I love when Jenny's dad said, "And I know you didn't make that dress because your sewing machine's not here." But if the sewing machine HAD been there, he would have assumed this stupid bitch could handcraft a VALENTINO.

I'm sorry -- I'm on-board with this show. I can't even hate on the 85% of the plot that is ridiculously derivative and dull. It's that 15% that makes the magic.

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> @DorothyMantooth: Oh yeah. It's supposed ot be there. Guarantee Lil' Jenny will become a woman by end of season and Nate will be her first.

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> @magic8ball: Audrina would totally get with Chuck, I feel like Whitney's more of a Dan girl... which leaves Nate for Lo (because I am NOT putting him with Lauren),and that's actually pretty adorable.

Blair could totally out-bitch Heidi.

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> I can't believe no one mentioned the very subtle outing of Serena's younger brother last night! When Serena asked him where he'd been he said, "I was at Therapy."

Not the doctor's office people. The gay bar.

StonedAndDethroned

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> I love how Heidi inserts herself into Lauren's evening with the sole purpose of making it awkward, talks shit about her all oops-I-think-she-heard-me-on-purpose loud, and then complains to Stephanie that Lauren inexplicably can't stand to be around her, and then complains to SPENCER that Lauren was being an icy bitch by not talking to her.

Either she is COMPLETELY SCHIZO or else John McCain was right.

Colonel Mustard

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> Maybe they should merge the 2 shows. Then Jenny and Blair can fight over Justin Bobby and we can watch bad girl Whitney throw herself at Chuck Bass.

magic8ball

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> @mattymcd: Dan can have sexual tension with pretty much anything around -- he is just that fiiiiine.

(Ah, shit. I s'pose the same angle works for Nate, too, eh?)

HyphyForLifey

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> In all honesty, I can't deal with Audrina's vacant stares. And regardless of whether it's exposed or not, I know that scary neck tatt is lurking behind her weave. For that (and many other) reason(s), I can't bother with the Hills.

Now, UES teen drama? I wish everyday was Monday. I'm glad to see that the hyperbolic NYMag Headline and commentary didn't taint your love for the show. In all, it was a solid show - not my favorite but I didn't hate it. I'm with you on the Butter comment. Seriously? Who goes there any more? Did they get their table on opentable.com? As for the 'mo who's about to be revealed, I honestly think Crawford and his already questionable sexuality (Thanks JC!) could be at stake - much to the chagrin of gays everywhere. Think about it, they distance him, give him little to say, and later everyone goes, "Where's Nate?" It then becomes clear he's fighting inner-turmoil over the fact that he's never wanted to put it in Meester's tah, which is why this break-up comes at such a convenient time. He also defies his father earlier in the show by claiming he has no desire to go to Dartmouth but instead is looking west - distancing himself and allowing room to be/find/whatever himself. FURTHER, wouldn't he have gone in for the kill with Jenny? I thought that Eric, our little bobble-head, was her gay confidante? Suddenly Nate's watching out for her? Next stop, he's taking her shopping at BG. (Well, he does love to shop, and the boy CAN dress...)

Just saying....

@BK_KT: I can not BELIEVE she cut her hair, it looks so terrible on her. But I'm sure on you it would be adorable.

why so awkward audrina?

final thought... LC can say more with her eyes than anyone ever... it creeps me out.

And is that supposed to be there?

DorothyMantooth

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> The problem with Gossip Girl is that all the parts that should be campy and insane are played straight, and all the serious parts are played for camp. I will say that last night's episode was not as bad as usual.

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> I, too, have been angry at GG, having spent an entire half a year looking forward to it based on a rec from a friend's little sister who spent an entire summer reading out choice lines from the books when we were on the beach. However, last night's episode was priceless.

I enjoyed the "he made it the same year he made Jackie O's LACE WHITE WEDDING DRESSSSSS" or some line similar to it, as if these girls knew who she was.

That scene from the Hills WAS SOOOOOOO dubbed I am glad someone else noticed it. I figure the alternative convo featured profanity, not often seen on the 12 year old friendly Hills. Or was just boring. Always an option with this show.

How awesome was it when Jennay got BUSTED in the red dress?! Loved it. That little Hazel looks like a troll.

BK_KT

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> the passive-aggressive bitchery of lauren and lo in the final scene of the hills was a nice reflection of penelope/jenny/blair/et al on GG. poor audrina couldn't keep up. and did justin bobby get his teeth capped? that scene between him and audrina was blinding (and almost made up for her dim personality...ZING).

EleanorRigby

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> Never watched it before but you keep on about it. So I did. I get it. It is a delicate little thing that could go wrong so quickly yet tightropes its way along.

The revelation was that I woke this morning and I have to use the following line three times today in correspondence:

"It's not my fault you don't know the price of a Valentino."

That's one.

belltolls

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> That Hills club scene was dubbed like a Bruce Lee movie.

I still watched/loved/laughed, but I'm just sayin. Shit's gone too far.

mattymcd

]]> <![CDATA[American Youth Is Doomed, Endlessly Entertaining]]> The Tiffany scene was their jump the shark moment. This show is over(exposed). It's not as good as the first season of the O.C., first two years of 90210, or the brevity of My-So-Called Life. Blair and Serena (Chuck/Nate/Dan) are done.
