Gossip Girl - Season 1 - Episode 16 - "All About My Brother"

"Run, S, Run. But don't leave the bloddy murder weapon behind." -CW

Georgina (guest star Trachtenberg) informs Serena (Blake Lively) that she is prepared to reveal damaging information from Serena's past, but no one is prepared for what Georgina does next. Blair (Leighton Meester) and Jenny (Taylor Momsen) escalate their "popularity war" by spreading scandalous rumors about each other through Gossip Girl. Dan (Penn Badgley) witnesses Jenny's new boyfriend, Asher (guest star Jesse Swenson), cheating on her, but Jenny refuses to listen to her brother's warning. Rufus (Matthew Settle) goes to Lily (Kelly Rutherford) for advice on how to handle Jenny's recent out-of-character behavior. Jessica Szohr also stars. (CWTV.com)

"Marmot and Manatee Blast"

Spotted S crying to B about MURDER?! It can't be true! Our favorite blond-haired heroine is a killer... caught on tape. How can it be? Who can she turn to? What's a girl to do? I certainly think Chuck would have been a better choice than back stabbing Blair, she'll just use it against you - get you thrown in jail. Now Chuck... Chuck is someone who will bail you out. He'd know what to do (I'm sure he's killed a person or two or ten). Too bad he's always in Monaco during the school week. But who will run his brothel?


Could do without: Georgina (and maybe Vanessa, just because). I can't wait to see her go. Let's hatch a plot to destroy Georgina before she can destroy Serena. Serena has turned into a lunatic since Georgie arrived back in Manhattan. Scaring away Dan, turning to Chuck, partying like a rock star. Didn't Serena learn anything this season? Just tell the truth, it will set you free. Plus money can buy you anything - even a ticket out of jail. On a side note, I really think Michelle Trachtenberg is a horrible actress. She is the same in every role, and just as annoying her as she was in EuroTrip. So let's kill her off, that's the only option. Once you've killed once, what's stopping you Serena.

Say it isn't so! Little bro Eric is gay. Hmmm... it all comes together now, the depression, the suicide, the weird creepy medical center for rich kids. I'm not surprised, but I must say I dreamed that Jenny and Eric would someday have kids together and then the incestuous cycle would continue. Because, let's be honest, Lily and Rufus belong together and so do Dan and Serena. But from the looks of it, that will be squashed next week. Here's rooting for RuLi!

Seen hugging her Dad like a normal 15 year old: Jenny. Finally (or is it finally...) Jenny is a normal kid again. She had turned into the wicked teenager of the Upper East Side (err, Brooklyn) - Don't forget your roots Jenny! Throw in the popularity towel, and those yellow tights and play Scrabble with boring Rufus and Dan.

Till next Monday!

XOXO,

Manatee
