Weekly Poll

12 05 2010

In the last Weekly Poll, most people–49 percent–think the Grubbs-Miranda storyline on One Tree Hill is a waste of time. Twenty-seven percent said it varies and 24 percent said it’s entertaining. Fifty-two percent didn’t know whether Gossip Girl’s Vanessa should have taken the internship and didn’t care while 39 percent thought it was a huge opportunity for her and 9 percent thought her relationship with Dan should be more important. No one said they didn’t know because they were torn. The 90210 poll had the closest results, where 45.5 percent didn’t agree with Dixon’s choice not to talk to Annie while 27.3 percent each agreed or didn’t know. (This adds up to 100.1 percent. I do not know why.)

Stephanie Savage on The O.C. World Versus The Gossip Girl World

12 05 2010

“I think there is something inherently fascinating about worlds you have to be born into. Even more than The O.C., where you had wealthy people and they lived in a gated community, but it was a world where if you made enough money and you were successful enough, you could be part of that world. But the Upper East Side world, that really is about birthright and family and who came over on the Mayflower. It’s a world that is not open to all of us.”

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Quincy in New York: I’m devastated at the rumor that ***** and ***** will hook up on Gossip Girl! Please say it isn’t so!
It so…is. Sorry. Sources confirm that a certain someone will be doing a certain something for the first time and it will cause some serious heartbreak—for you fans and another girl on the show. And that might not be the only hookup shocker! I’m told that “A Gossip Girl blast goes out about Dan and Serena that will not make Vanessa or Nate happy.” Suffice to say, the finale is going to have lots of romantic upheaval, so buckle up. Oh, and the good news? I’m hearing that at least one core G.G. couple will end up happy at the end of the season. Say your prayers for your fave now!

Katelyn in Oahu: 90210 details are seriously needed.
Liam finally sets sail in his boat, but sadly, it’s almost instantly destroyed in a firey death—with him and Annie on board! And remember that crazy-horrible-mind-blowing thing we’ve teased happens to Naomi? It’s right around the corner and involves an action that’s both physical and devastating.

  • This is the second to last episode before the season/series finale.
  • I can’t decide if the title is poetic or creepy or sad or all three.
  • Starting with Simon and Garfunkel’s Sound of Silence. Old-school.
  • Q1: Someone once said that death is not the greatest loss in life. Death is what dies inside of us when someone else does. I could tell you who said it but who the hell really cares?–Haley
  • Not sure if I got that right. Makes me flashback to Lucas voiceovers. =(

  • They call each other a “dick” and “whore” beneath their breath on stage.
  • Haley is on the phone.
  • She says it seems fake that we’re supposed to believe there is good in the world. There are too many people who suffer, she says. Kind of sounds like Lucas at varying points, particular in the “It’s A Wonderful Life” episode.

  • She says we tell ourselves we’re going to be okay but it’s not okay.

  • Haley is on the phone again. Home already?
  • Or is this a continuation of earlier?
