You Know You Love Me...

This fall’s guiltiest pleasure is a new CW series about the dramatic lives of the UES elite, specifically the younger generation of filthy rich teenagers who are defined by their last names and are struggling to rise (or fall) above (or below) them.

Gossip Girl is brilliant, and you’re already 3 (going on 4) weeks behind!

Most of the pleasure is due to the multiple power struggles going on amongst the privileged youngsters.

Big Man on Campus Dan (Penn Badgley of The Young and the Restless) versus Dark Horse Nate (Chace Crawford of The Covenant).

Charismatic Blonde Heiress Serena (Blake Lively of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) versus Overcompensating Brunette Bitch Blair (Leighton Meester of nothing special).

Dan & Serena obviously belong together, but will never be together in an insanely/intriguingly predictable Romeo & Juliet-like saga. Blair desperately wants Nate to love her, but knows that he will always love Serena more.

You have a washed-up rockstar Dad, a virginal little sister, a suicidal little brother, and (of course) a mother who is played by someone who used to be on Melrose Place. Not to mention the sketchy friend that’s the richest and creepiest of them all.

What’s not to love?!

Here's the math...

My crush (highly doable) = Dan

My dream (would never happen) = Nate


Put them together and...well, I think you get where I'm going with this!



Me (S) = Serena
Shane (B) = Blair

You know you love us.
