College is just high school with more expensive books

You may be asking yourself, "Is Jessica psychic? Is she clairvoyant?"

Well, let me answer you- no I am not :) I am just a good guesser. I was right that Eva was a hooker AND that the rumour would be about an STD, but I have no predictions about next week, so I guess the streak is over. I do, however, think that next week's episode will be the one with Tim Gunn, and I have been looking forward to that! (Do y'all watch Project Runway?)

Now, on to the recap....

As a whole: I wasn't overly impressed with last night's episode, but at the same time I really enjoyed it. I think that with all the "serious" drama that we have had lately, last night's GG rumour and catty nonsense seemed a tad petty. But, that is part of what I love about GG, so I was also relieved to see it take it down a notch and get back to "Constance Billard"-esque drama. Serena's line, "College is just high school with more expensive books" summed it all up for me. And gave me high hopes that they won't all get too mature for GG anytime soon :)

Poor Little Rich, I mean Poor, Girl: Wow. Who did NOT feel sorry for V last night? I mean, the poor girl loves Dan, even though EVERYONE knows that he is still hung up on Serena. Side note: If a boy says, "I'm not going to cut her out of my life", hit the road. It is so obvious that he still has it bad for his step sister. Then, she confides in Juliet (mistake numero uno), and ends up taking the blame for the rumour AND the email. I am a Vanessa fan, even though she has a tendency to be self righteous and annoying (i.e. trying to convince Juliet to confess to having Serena's phone). But her little sad crying face actually made me sad.

Hamilton House is Exclusive??: To be so selective, they sure do let any Tom, Dick, and Harry walk through the doors. Juliet just got kicked out because of the Key debacle, yet she was at the party. Dan and V go to NYU! To be such an honor to get in, and such a black mark to be left out, it would seem like you would need some sort of credentials to get pass the door.

Chuck, welcome back: I completely loved Chuck and Blair's scenes last night. Their complete and utter disregard for innocent bystanders just amuses me beyond belief. It brings me back to the early days of Gossip Girl (and really makes me want to buy all the seasons and rewatch them!), where it was all revenge and sexual tension.

Juliet... seriously?: I cannot figure this girl out! I still am not 100% sold on that being her brother. There is a part of me that still thinks they are/were lovers. I keep racking my brain to remember all the past indiscretions of SVW, but I cannot remember anything involving a Ben. And it must have happened a while back for him to have already gone through a trial and be serving jail time. I was glad that last night made it clear that it was all about Serena, because I was kind of under the impression that it was about all of Manhattan's Elite. But is she after V and D, too? Or were they just collataral damage to get to Serena? I have about settled on the fact that it is going to be something that we don't know yet. Also, is it just me or does every dress that Juliet wears look exactly alike?

My BFF Regina Philange gave this insight, which I found completely amusing: Ben's main goal was to get Serena expelled from Columbia, but how could that really ruin her life? She spent a whole season on a break so I feel like its not really a priority for her.
