You Know You Love Me: Gossip Girl Weekly Review

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Maine chapter.


It’s a new week, little Gossip Girlers. And that can only mean on thing, Her Campus’s Gossip Guy is here with your weekly update of the one show I know you never simply record. This season is already starting off with a bang and things certainly didn’t slow down this week.
 
They say it’s a good thing to be pregnant with your best friend. While Dorota isn’t necessarily best friends with Blair, they do spend enough time together. She accompanies loyal housekeeper to the doctors for a pregnancy check up, but seems FAR too interested. Blair finally admits that she’s expecting as well. Sounds like a certain penthouse is about to get a lot cozier.
 
Oh Nate. How long until you realize that cougar chasing isn’t the best way to spend your free time? Nonetheless, our young Archibald is at it again, searching for his fair, elderly maiden. Something tells me it won’t be difficult to catch this cat. Lonely Boy seems..ever so lonely. The city is a big place to roam by your lonesome Dan, especially when you need help from Serena. But it seems even she can’t fix your novel problems. Next time, let’s keep those unpublished works on a password-protected file, shall we?
 


Charlie, no I mean Ivy. Well, whoever she is, she’s in hot water now. Cousin Serena wants the Rhodes girls to shack up together on the West Coast, fully expecting her dear relative to be able to afford the luxuries she has, after all she does have access to her trust fund. Just watch out Serena, it may turn out to be you who has been duped this whole time.
 
Family, ever so critical of one another. It’s nothing different for the future Princess Blair when she meets her fair Prince’s sister, Beatrice. The two spend the afternoon out in the city, shopping, eating & doing things expected to be done with your future sister-in-law. Although, it seems like Blair isn’t fooling her fellow royal. Rushing off to the bathroom & acting uninterested in food will only arouse suspicions B. Behavior like that is bound to make anyone raise their eyebrow in question. Let’s hope, for your sake, she doesn’t assume wrong.
 
Chuck Bass. What has gotten into you? The bruises, the fighting – this is so very unlike our hotel heir. It seems as though all our Chuck wants to do is to feel something, and he’s willing to pay for it. Paying thugs to pound you on the pavement and drowning your sorrows in any pill possible won’t solve what you’re feeling. The affects of a broken heart have been known to last years, and just like the rest of us, you too are human. Hopefully he can heal himself before it’s too late.
 
When you neglect to tell the truth, it leaves the mind to wander for explanations. Which is exactly what Beatrice has done. Convinced Blair is either addicted to drugs or bulimic, she confronts her Princely brother about the matter. B, honesty really is the best policy. You should have learned that by now. Look who’s come all the way from L.A., Nate’s lady friend. All this way just to visit an Archibald, unfortunately it’s not Nate. She instead needs to interview Nate’s mom for an upcoming magazine article. Watch out Nate, you never know what kind of questions might come up if those two get together.
 
Who can say no to Serena van der Woodsen? Charlie/Ivy definitely can’t, that’s for sure. She convinces her boyfriend to leave L.A. and move so they can start over, once again. But it’s amazing how quickly things can change. Once Cousin Charlie/Ivy finds out Serena is no longer staying on the West Coast, but instead headed back to the Upper East Side, she is all too happy to move back and be roommates with her. Just one thing, Cous, how are you going to keep this charade up?
 
A feast fit for a King. That’s what Blair finds herself at, being coaxed by Beatrice to try every morsel on the table, much to her displeasure. When she can barely take it anymore, our very own Dan Humphrey comes to her rescue. After more bathroom sickness, Blair decides to come clean to Lonely Boy. Only, he isn’t the only one who’s listening. Sister-in-laws are good at quite a few things, spying being one of them. Will you be able to worm your way out of this one, B?
 
Nate’s cougar isn’t just about a good time. She asks Nate to work for her, and he easily obliges. This sounds like one office romance I wouldn’t want to miss. Tread carefully young Archibald, this cougar may also have snake like tendencies. Sisters, they’re supposed to be honest to their brothers. That’s why it comes as a shock to everyone when Beatrice covers for Blair. It seems she secretly wants the throne for herself and a royal baby would just enhance to Louie’s succession to power. She divulges a little too much to the family priest, acting far more religious than she should be. Talk about a royal scandal in the making.
 
Until next time, you know you love me.
 
XOXO,
Jossip Gurl
 
P.S. Next Week – With Serena back in town, we can be sure things will begin to change on the Upper East Side. And knowing this bunch, it’s not always in a good way.
