GOSSIP GIRL (The Grandfather)

• Funny to see snow in what’s supposed to be New York when you know, in reality, there isn’t actually snow there now./
• Ah, we finally meet the cousin!
• Who refers to their grandfather as just…grandfather??
• Does Serena really not know where Blair’s been all week?
• Q1: “The only thing she wanted more than me.”–Chuck about Blair and Yale
• Q2: “You need to give her time to lick her wounds.”  “Maybe I could lick them for her.”–Serena and Chuck
• Barely remember this art dealer lady.
• Guess they’re supposed to be watching March Madness?  At least they got the timing of that right.
• One Tree Hill did this list thing with Naley in season 4.  But it’s still good to see Lily and Rufus again.
• So Nate still has a limo?
• Which side of the family is this?  Mom or dad’s?
• Q3: “You said it was a mansion, not a country club!”–Dan (Why is he even there??)
• Glad to see it’s not one of those old-old grandpas.
• Always weird to hear Nate called Nathaniel.
• Why are they clapping about Nate and his grandfather? What is there to clap about?
• Oooh, Blair’s just in lingerie!  Guess she and Chuck talked and that’s why he’s there?
• Eek!  Carter!
• Q4: “Dishonest? Bad news?  He can’t be any worse than you.”–Blair about Carter to Chuck
• I like seeing Chuck get stressed
• 90210 promo with just Tori Spelling talking to the camera
• Wonder if this Vanderbilt family is supposed to be related to the Long Island Vanderbilts…
• Q5: “Do you know how exhausting it’s been being Blair Waldorf for the last 18 years?”–Blair
• Unfortunately, Blair isn’t handling her wake-up call in the right way.
• Hard to believe Blair never stole anything before.
• Bet a lot of the younger viewers don’t know who Trent Reznor or Slash are.
• Q6: “It’s going to take you 20 minutes to get through the 90s alone.”–Serena to Lily
• No coats yet there’s snow on the ground?  Hmm…
• Surprised they’re willing to get so dirty in their fancy sweaters and slacks.
• Q7: “I feel like a Republican at the Kennedy compound.”–Vanessa (Yet another reference those teens and tweens won’t get.)
• Q8: “The only thing Nate’s ever voted for is American Idol.”–Vanessa (Guess that one’s for them!)
• Q9: “…goes down almost as easy as you did.”–Carter about Chuck (Double meaning??)
• Q10: “What’s this?  Good cop, Bass cop?”–Carter
• Wonder what Serena knows about Carter.  Forgot they were “involved.”
• Q11: “I’m just a symptom of the disease.  Not the cause.”–Carter
• LOL Rufus fits everything on to an index card.  And Lily only gives him one of her pages.
• Is Lindsey a boy or a girl??
• Jenny alert!  She’s been so MIA recently.
• Q12: “It’s turned out to be less Gatsby and more Fight Club.”–Dan
• Wonder if Dan and Vanessa will get together?
• Q13: “I’m not going to play Where’s Waldorf all night.”–Chuck
• LOL Dorota’s speaking polish!
• Q14: “It’s old Miss Blair and new Miss Blair like it was old Miss Serena and new Miss Serena.”–Dorota
• Q15: “Summer perogie tour 09.  I can’t wait.”–Nate
• Q16: “Look like Polanski’s in town.”  (Yet another out-there reference.)
• Woah!  Did not expect Blair to be pleading for admission to college!
• Q17: “Gee, you’re right.  Why didn’t I update my Facebook page?!”–Blair
• Like when Serena and Chuck team up.
• There’s that weird Sims promo for OTH.
• Love Serena’s super-straight hair!
• Wow, there’s a security check at a family party!
• Figures Rufus would find the other part of the list.
• Really, Nate and Vanessa are just too different.
• Vanessa believes in him, too.  Why didn’t she say that?
• LOL Drunk Blair!
• Q18: “I know you better than I know myself.”–Chuck to Blair
• There’s the first Blair-Chuck kiss in how long??
• Q19: “No, this is not the Blair I want.”  “That’s right.  And I never will be again.  Goodbye Chuck.”–Chuck and Blair
• 90210 promo–there will be 8 new episodes in a row!
• Wow, Blair and Nate started dating at 12 or 13?!
• I like seeing Blair raw like this.
• Like seeing Blair and Nate reconnect.  Wish we knew them pre-Serena involvement.
• Yes!  Serena slapped Dan!  That was great!
• Q20: “Why are you smiling?”  “I don’t know.  I’m mad but that was invigorating.”  “Glad you like hitting people. (Sees people take cell phone picture) Oh, well that’s wonderful.  I’ll be sure to check BitchSlappedAgain.com later.”–Dan and Serena
• Q21: “I believe in you, too.  Just a different you.”–Vanessa to Nate (At least she said it.)
• Really not cool of Nate to accept the position like that without telling Vanessa first.
• Maybe Blair is seeing that she can rise again through Nate?  Or genuinely misses him and what they had?
• Does Nate really want the internship or just family approval?
• Q22: “Look’s like Nate’s traded in his summer of love for a one way ticket to his legacy.”–Gossip Girl
• Q23: “I’m losing her.”  “Then fight for her.  She did for you.”–Chuck and Serena (Really touching!)
• I will never stop hating Chuck’s bow-ties.
• Why does Jenny think Nate and Vanessa belong together?  Afterall, she used to like him herself!
• Couldn’t Chuck just walk up the stairs if he wanted to?
• What does he see?  Ack!  Nate’s jacket!
• Promo: Looks like more Chuck-Blair-Nate-Vanessa drama but also a lot more Jenny.

One Tree Hill reaction will be up later this week!  In the meantime, read more speculation about CMM’s OTH status.
