In the last Weekly Poll, 40 percent of voters said they prefer Quinn to Taylor but 24 percent said the opposite. Still, another 14 percent want them both gone and 23 percent would like both to stay. The second poll had a three-way tie with 26 percent each saying the Blair and Chuck spoiler has them crying, excited or bored. Twenty-three percent said they were just curious. It was extremely close in the last poll as well, where 36 percent said 90210 doesn’t need more parents and 31 percent disagreed and were looking forward to meeting Teddy and Liam’s dads but 33 percent said they were indifferent.
In Gossip Girl’s three seasons, this is the only Christmas episode we’ve been treated to and, thankfully, I look back on it pretty fondly. At the time I was a Serena-Dan shipper (and still am, for the most part) and they had a really sweet storyline this episode, which culminated in them sharing one incredible X-mas gift: their bodies! The episode also significantly advances the Rufus-Lily storyline that had been slowly building: we have Rufus realize his marriage with Allison can’t be saved and admit Lily’s been what’s missing from his life. Unfortunately, around the same time, Bart proposes to Lily. The third main storyline–Blair’s hope for the perfect Christmas is comically toyed with when her father comes to town along with his lover–I could take or leave.
90210
1. Episode 2.12, Winter Wonderland
Okay, so this technically isn’t a holiday episode but I’m including it anyway. After all, isn’t “winter wonderland” just the PC-way of saying Christmastime? And, besides, this was a pretty amazing episode–and I never even come close to saying that about this show. But this ep had what I love most: unrequited love, love triangles and several drawn-out storylines coming to a climax, rewarding viewers for their patience. We have Teddy pining for Silver, Dixon’s feelings for Silver reawakened, Liam & Naomi reunited by a selfless Ivy, Naomi’s well-warranted apologies to Annie and a jaw-dropping confrontation between Annie and Jasper. No doubt about it: this was my gift this holiday season.
In last week’s inagural Weekly Poll, voters were almost evenly split on the questions “Should Brooke have accepted Rachel’s apology?” and “In light of the threesome, do you hope Dan and Vanessa get together?” But the third question, “Should Dixon be mad at Debbie?” had clear winner with most people thinking Debbie was just trying to protect him.
RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!
What’s the big deal with this “Gossip Girl” threesome? Why is everyone making such a fuss? Can you say who the participating players are? -Michelle
I haven’t yet seen the episode, so I won’t offer my opinion on what goes down, but I will say that a little birdie told me Hilary Duff (aka Dan’s girlfriend Olivia) is definitely involved.
Didn’t you report that there’s still hope for Liam and Naomi on “90210” this season? Doesn’t it seem like the new surfer girl is going after him? -P
The new surf girl is absolutely making a play for Liam, but that doesn’t mean she’ll get what she wants. Actually, I know for a fact that Naomi will be the victor in this battle and be back with Liam before we know it… much to our new friend’s chagrin.
Actually, Naomi will reconcile with Annie as well, right around the same time.
I stopped by the set of “90210” to speak with Annalynne McCord on the subject…
