“Gossip Girl” Always Tries to Make the Movie in It’s Head Resemble Reality

Now, I know we all got at least a little bit confused with the Gossip Girl flashback to Lily van der Woodsen as a teenager, just admit it.

There have been a couple “WTF?” moments and episodes… and yes, characters on the TV show; there as well (DUH) have been amazing moments and episodes… and yes, CHARACTERS on the TV show! =].

This blog post (here is the link)…:

…is extremely entertaining and brilliant! It was written by Chris Rovzar and Jessica Pressler. They made a huge list of scenes in the show and put a “Minus” or “Plus” next to each with a number beside the “minus” and “plus”: Ex: Minus 3 or Plus 5. They are tallied up at the end.

Here’s one of the bullets in the list:

• AND: Blair would obviously pick up on the prom-queen ruse from the very beginning. No change of social plans like that would be made without the Queen B’s knowledge, Plus, look at the other names on the list: Nelly Yuki, Terri Murphy, Nate Archibald, Mitchell Shepherd, and Daniel Colman. Nelly Yuki ‘s name on the list would have tipped her off from the very beginning, as would the absence of Serena. Plus, the girls couldn’t keep a straight face (part of why they were always second to Blair in the first place). No matter how distracted Blair was by her fantasy, she didn’t suddenly become dim-witted. Minus 5.

Even though the writers of this have mixed feeling about the show, ADMIT IT, it is an amzing blog post!
