Gossip Girl here, for your one stop look into the lives of Upper East Siders.
Except now, most of them are living on the Lower East Side and participating in a whole new kind of annoying. See, there are a few super annoying types in NYC.
1. Upper Manhattan socialites who have been fed everything with a silver spoon and never venture below midtown.
2. NYU Hipsters whose snobbish behavior toward Type 1 UWSers is hilarious considering that most of these kids also come from money but just smell worse.
3. Financial district douches who go out taking shots well into their 30's.
And those are just a few from Manhattan. Don't even get me started on artistic Brooklynites.
Anywho, Dan, Blair, Vanessa, Dan's midget brother and Georgina are all attending NYU. Serena is skipping out on Brown in favor of gallavanting with former? player Carter, Nate is running around with a rival family's prodigal daughter in some sort of a vanilla Romeo and Juliet, and Chuck is doing his best to open a high end strip club. The storylines and character overlapping is actually really refreshing following a bit of a Sophomore slump that saw Chuck and Blair as the only beacon of hope on the show.
Georgina is determined to take Blair down and she seems to be good at it. She's literally sleeping with enemy as she's seduced dumbass Dan with her transluscent skin and fish lips. She's also Vanessa's new bestie and the combo are not letting Blair get a word in edgewise. Speaking of, in a ridiculous plot twist, Ms. Waldorff has chosen to live in the dorms for her Freshman year. And surprise, surprise, Georgina's her roommate! That Blair is a power-hungry bitch whose insensitivity towards the feelings of others is more than a little off-putting is a given. But watching Blair fall on her face as her transition from Queen Bee-dom proves increasingly difficult is heartbreaking. Blair is mean but Georgina is mean and fake. It's just plain wrong.
Vanessa has taken up with Lily and Rufus' son, except that Lily and Rufus don't know that he's their son. The truth was about to come out, but then he lied to Rufus, saying that he was the boy's brother. Vanessa is bound to be pissed, what with her truth seeking moral compass, and it's kind of a shame. I mean, I think that he really does like her, even if his initial motivations were to sneak his way into the Humphrey family. He is, however, a certified midget and looks hilarious standing next to Vanessa.
Chuck and Blair continue to be adorable as they attempt to continue being ChuckandBlair. There's going to be a wrench thrown in this love story pretty soon, I'm sure, but for the time being it's nice to see both of them happy and healthy.

I know how much you love Blair...but she got herself into this. I agree, Georgina is SLIGHTLY worse than Blair, but they are both terrible people. Please stop defending Blair...she has it in her own power to stop polarizing her relationships with people. Why not try to be nice? It's got to be harder to be that mean to people....or would that not be the BLAIR thing to do?
