Finally Blair broke up with Nate. And her evening with Chuck was pretty good, she really went all free. They had some very passionate making out but something tells me this will just cause problems. Nate's story with his father is alright, it might now get even better. Was happy to see more of Lily and Rufus. Nothing against Chuck's father but I am rooting for those two.

Heavy on the melodrama, but it really rings true

Warning: Spoilers
Serena and Dan finally come clean about being crazy about each other, despite that they come from opposite worlds. Dan is planning to consummate their romance and give his virginity to Serena. The plans are halted when Vanessa walks in on a make out session unannounced to try to hang out with Dan. Vanessa suggests candles as a way of impressing Serena, in his quest to make love to her. Chuck is considering investing in a strip-club to impress his Father. Jenny discovers some interesting information about her parents. Blair manages to coerce Jenny into telling her a secret about Nate. The secret is that Jenny kissed Nate by accident at the masked ball, after he thought she was Serena. Blair takes it personally and decides to disown her. Blair spills the beans to Nate and things get really awkward at the The Archibalds and Waldorf's dinner party because of it, leading to a break-up between the two. Meanwhile, Nate figures out his Father is doing drugs.
Normally, I dislike too much melodrama. This show is a rarity for me. It manages to engross me with it. That's because of the really strong writing. I've heard this show gets worse as it goes along from a couple of friends. I really hope that isn't the case. I'm addicted to the show! I'm watching until the end, no matter what. This episode delivers plenty of memorable things. I still think Nate is a bit to Vanilla" but he's starting to warm up to me a bit. His situation with his Father was rather powerful and I empathized with Nate. I'm not sure if I'll ever be "Team Nate" , but I may end up liking him after all. Chuck legitimately cracked me up. He can be so devious! I even felt a bit of a sympathy for him. It made me realize the parents are more immature than the kids! Last but not least, my favorite! Dan and Serena. I'm WAY too into them as a couple. Everything they do is gold to me, so I'm biased. There was a lot of realism between them. The pressure to lose virginity is all to common in life. I really felt for Dan in that situation. You get scared and want to slow things down, but then you realize you're in too deep. Serena was a complete sweetheart about the situation and I couldn't stop smiling with what she did at the end. The way Serena tells Dan about how nobody has ever looked at her like that made me melt. (I'm a guy, but I'm a romantic! I can't help it) As much as I love Penn Badgley, I'm envious because he gets Blake's kisses and those kisses look incredible. Rufus and Lily take a backseat here, but I'm digging their storyline. We even get a big hint with Chuck and Blair! I rather liked it. Vanessa doesn't have much to do but be a pain.
It started off a bit slowly, but really picks up steam quickly! I'm really interested to see what happens going forward. I checked this show out for Blake Lively! Now I'm hooked. There are a lot of possibilities going forward and I'm really intrigued. My only complaint was the lack of development for Vanessa.
9.3/10

The One Where Blair And Chuck Sleep Together...
taylorkingston25 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I love this episode. It's one of my all-time favorite episodes from the first season. It is mostly because Chuck and Blair's relationship comes out of nowhere and it's the first episode where the two start to connect.
In this episode, Serena and Dan's relationship starts to skyrocket when they admit they love each other. When they plan to consummate the relationship, the two are interrupted by Vanessa wanting to spend time with Dan. Meanwhile, Chuck decides to open a night club to make his Father proud of him, which doesn't work at all. Blair is devastated when Jenny tells her that Nate kissed her, thinking she was Serena. Because of this, Blair says she is no longer friends with Jenny. What the hell? She told you truth. How rude is that? Nate confronts his Father about drugs that Nate found. And at the end of the episode, while both being very vulnerable, Chuck and Blair sleep together in his limo.
Overall, I give this episode a 10 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Freaking Ridonkulous.
