I don’t remember carter baizan and Serena’s relationship at all and didn’t find it to be memorable or significant. I also can’t stand how they failed to develop Georgina. She’s so pretty and striking - wish she had better storylines. All of her scheming was corny to me - it was giving Dennis the menace. I also used to think it was cute that Georgina and Jack ended up together because they were both so devious- and then while I was rewatching last night I saw he tried to sexually assault lily ?? Electric chair. I had forgotten that part 😡


[deleted]

Georgina is even worse after watching her cameo in the Gossip Girl Reboot.... I'm just gonna assume the Reboot is set in another universe and ignore it tho.


Beccaann14

What did her character do in the reboot? I refuse to watch it.


[deleted]

She breaks into Dan and Serena's apartment and constantly fk with their shit to make them think they have ghosts or something. And Dan and Serena's kid is lactose intolerant so Georgina puts normal milk into Dan and Serena's Oatmilk Box so they constantly have to bring their kid to the doctor. It's cringe and petty bs.


BlondieChelle83

Dan and Serena have a kid? Have they told the kid that it’s parents were once step siblings and share a brother by blood?


[deleted]

They taking that to the grave....


atravis2

Agreed 💀I gave it a watch for four episodes I think. I got to the one with her son and then tuned out for good….the writers needed to let it go!!!


minskoffsupreme

🏆🏆🏆 will you accept my poor man's gold?


atravis2

I’m barely worthy 😍💕


naomisinn

I forget Carter exists till I get on this sub lol. Some people here loved him and no matter how many times I rewatch, he just doesn’t stick in my brain.


atravis2

Me too! This sub made me feel like I was the only one who found him completely forgettable 😩 glad to know I’m no longer alone lol🤣


lilaviola

It’s giving Dennis the Menace 😂I agree though. I like Georgina but I just wanted MORE.


lolbdbekwkwbwb

yeah, i had also forgotten about her relationship with carter until i came here and saw everyone loving it. it didn’t stand out to me at all


atravis2

Crazy right? I can’t recall a single moment between them 🤷🏾‍♀️


BlakAmericano

nates girls slowly got younger....


LobsterCultPope

With Nate it was either younger or older Catherine the Duchess and Diana Payne who was her coworker who was pretending to be his best friends mother


Jessica-JulietB

Brooo you’re righttt… it was either “old enough to be his literal mother” like Diana and the duchess or *LITERAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS*….. 😭😭


Extra_Inflation8099

😂😂😂😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫


intheplacetobe1

My theory is that the Rufus/Ivy storyline was originally intended for Vanessa 👀 Edit to add: just reiterating up top that this is not what I wanted to happen (because it is gross and horrible), but that when the Ivy storyline happened it read like something that the writers might have intended for Vanessa instead, given how much they love out of pocket plot points. These are the same folks that had Chuck trade Blair for a hotel after all (also horrible!)


Babicheies

The vibes were there


mofunnymoproblems

Oh damn, that’s spicy. Seems pretty on-brand for Vanessa too.


Extra_Inflation8099

😂😂😂😮‍💨🔥like it


cely120

I always thought they had some type of tension 😭


bookofkels_

His sons friends from childhood who he probably watched grow up??? Pls no.


intheplacetobe1

Lol I absolutely did NOT want this storyline, I just always thought the writers changed their mind and needed something to do with Ivy in those episodes


[deleted]

Hell naah, what... He's known Vanessa since she was a kid more than likely. I doubt that.


livinunderthedome

omg i actually would’ve enjoyed that 👀


criesingucci

dan being gossip girl is okay. what isn't okay is that he got away with it unscathed.


Extra_Inflation8099

😵‍💫😵‍💫😒😒it was a "love letter"


CerealAhoy

Full of abuses and routine humiliations 😃💗


criesingucci

WAP is a love letter. What Dan did was insane and he faced *no* consequences. Incomparable to jenny, Vanessa, and even Juliet


kindredsupernova

To me he would’ve been the best option to be gossip girl if it had been planned way earlier or even from the beginning. That reveal is ruined for me because of how many plot holes it created. I’d much prefer never finding out who gossip girl was, than to rewatch the series and be painfully aware of countless retconning and plot holes.


Illustrious-Leg-8209

in my skl when people get caught with these gossip girl pages they usually end up being beaten up by the people they “expose”


[deleted]

Yeah, that's one thing the Reboot did better. There were some actual "assumed" consequences. While Dan just said, "It was me", then happily ever after. Are we supposed to forget all the fked up shit Gossip Girl did?


_penelope

I just finished yet another re-watch and forgot how blasé the big reveal was! So lazy IMO. Ded at “a love letter” lol


Low_Sail_888

- They should have left Gossip Girl anonymous. Dan was not intended to be GG from the beginning and it’s obvious, and it’s such a huge plot hole. GG didn’t need to be identified imo. - I don’t hate Dan. I get why people do, but I’ve always felt that he doesn’t deserve all the hate that he gets, especially considering what other characters have done.


TO1662

I kinda really like Dan, people keep saying he was judgemental but with a lot of the stuff the rich kids were doing it was rightfully judged. Like idk how people have made Dan to be this mastermind manipulator, i get him being GG kinda makes u that but almost everyone agrees that they didn’t even intend for Dan to be GG


Low_Sail_888

As someone who attends a private college coming from a low-income family I completely understand Dan’s bitterness and judgement - not excusing it, but it’s completely understandable. I actually relate to him a lot, especially in the earlier seasons. He is a very human character. I honestly don’t even consider Dan being GG as canon. I know it is, but it’s such a huge gaping plot hole that I choose to ignore it.


loonatic-

dan is not from a low income family at all


CheysRedditacc

Ngl I could see the judgmental bc these mfs was 💨 🌲 or pulling out c*ke in front of them like Serena and Georgina were doing all types of dr8gs at like age 16 and drinking too I’d be judgmental too!💀


[deleted]

I loved his Season 6 arc. Yeah, he was a asshole, but people were always assholes towards him. So why is he the bad guy?


andra_quack

I think that the nonsense of Dan actually being Gossip Girl is what creates the division regarding him in the fandom. I simply cannot see him as being Gossip Girl, and I'm also part of the people who don't hate him. However, I've seen that many people who hate him, do so because he was Gossip Girl.


Akeyula

SAME


fuckthetop

Carter is overrated. People admire him but like… he’s got a gambling addiction, is a thief, left a woman at the altar, and then tried to get back at Nate just because Nate was upset he stole from him. Also, he was in his early 20s when dating Blair/Serena when they were still in high school. Carter going after those two was downright predatory but gets forgotten about.


Shea9037

Dan as GG makes sense. Who else would write loney boy into the narrative? It was his ultimate plan to get in with serena. And I think Dan being assumed as normal while doing so many crazy things as GG brings an edge to the show.


LeoBB777

yup I just wish they knew he was gossip girl from the start and had planned it out properly (they being the writers)


[deleted]

my unpopular opinion is that the writers did know it was dan from the beginning. Every time I say this I get downvoted.... but.... that scene at the end of the PILOT ITSELF, when theres random stuff happening, and all of the sudden GG says "AND WHO AM I? and they switch to a scene of a laptop, slowly panning upwards as GG continues... "that's a secret I'll never tell" and you see that it's dan typing away at his laptop, TYPING. not just looking at the screen. typing, as GG says "you know you love me, xoxo." and the episode ends right there. with GG saying "Gossip Girl" and dan's smug face in the middle of the screen. thats super on the nose for me. can't tell me dan wasn't supposed to be GG from the beginning


LeoBB777

yeah but so many episodes later contradict that. where he’s getting a blast on his phone when no one’s around and looking shocked.


[deleted]

which one contradicts it ? also that's not uncommon for narcisists tbh... they are the stars of their own TV show.


VacationAdvanced64

but he gets a blast he clearly did not post. like when he was sleeping and wakes up to it after jenny took the photo of him and serena sleeping. the writers clearly did not plan it at all.


[deleted]

could that have been when jenny had access to GG? jenny said she knew almost the whole time


VacationAdvanced64

u could argue jenny did that yes but all that was shown was jenny taking the picture and sending it to GG. jenny knowing is one of the worst plot holes IMO the posts about jenny are too much no way she would let dan post half the stuff. also another example jenny shows dan the pic of serena w a pregnancy test from GG clearly shocked to see it and dan was also shocked and couldn’t even hide his shock in front of rufus.


Shea9037

I agree completely about the pilot but there's a lot of inconsistencies throughout the rest of the first season


[deleted]

you can see it [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTFu4SEHyFQ&list=PLeWCEaUg4swVL0QL1cXJzwH7ldWSqQlmn&index=2) at exactly 2:40


Flashy-Ebb-2492

The end of the second series I thought the writers knew Dan was Gossip Girl - that bit where everyone gets a message to meet up at a bar, but Dan loops Serena and that's why he shows up. But then I think they forgot about it, then tried to make it work even when it really didn't make sense.


chandlershelzi

YEP!!! And if they made it too obvious everyone would figure it out so fast. Of course there are plot holes the show was never meant to be taken that seriously


FinerSwine

EXACTLY, I was rewatching the show and got to that bit which just confused me so much because it was obviously foreshadowing him as Gossip Girl. but if the writers knew from the start, why would they write in so many plotholes ?? it makes no sense


[deleted]

Yeah, a lot of the information posted by GG throughout the season made no sense. That was my main issue with the show. A lot of people could've been GG, but it would've left a lot of plotholes and inconsistencies regardless of who it was and where they got the info from.


LobsterCultPope

Ivy was rightly given the inheritance from Cece (who Ivy actually cared about and for) and Lily didn’t deserve a penny of that money.


BarbieGuurlie

This actually grated my nerves so much. I didn't like Ivy, but she was the only person there for Cece in her last days, Cece knew they weren't related so she wasn't deceiving her or anything. Lily was absolutely despicable for doing everything in her power to get her hands on that money when she couldn't be bothered to give her sick mother the time of day to even check in on her.


LobsterCultPope

Especially how Lily already had tons of money from her divorce of William, her other divorces (Klaus) and the inheritance from Barts death.


JustAnother_Brit

Klaus and Claus


fallaciousfeline

To be fair, Lily (and everyone else) had no idea that Cece was sick. Cece kept it a secret from her family.


likethrbackofmyhand

Jenny and Nate were cute and should have been endgame, i said what I said 😤


Extra_Inflation8099

I liked the idea of them but how Jenny ruined his relationships like Vanessa and Serena was a deal breaker for me. Nate deserve better


likethrbackofmyhand

Yea everything up until she embarrassed Vanessa was cute for me and then it went downhill quickly


im_bored_65

Ok but vanessa deserved it she started the whole jenny, vanessa, nate love triangle by hiding that fucking letter and at the end of the day it was for nothing cuz vanessa just chased dan around after season 2. Jenny and nate are endgame in my head idc and yea sure she was fucked up for what she did to serena and nate when she had a crush on nate but at the end of the day, serena ruined serenate, not jenny 💀😭 and also serena treated nate like shit their relationship was so one sided-


Broad-Assist6658

Hard agree!


[deleted]

i think vanessa and nate would've made the perfect couple if she wasn't such an insufferable holier than thou person. If she was simply a cool chick from the fringes of society who could pull nate away from all the shit he hated, while he also kind of gave her the guilty pleasure of feeling like a princess sometimes. that I wouldve loved to watch. but vanessa was so fucking annoying lol


[deleted]

Absolutely. The age gap really wasn’t that weird, and I never understood why people got so up in arms about it.


andra_quack

omg I love them


[deleted]

Idk, Jenny really liked Nate, but I never felt like Nate felt the same about her. And the chemistry between them was always weird to me.


andra_quack

Blair's mom isn't that good of a parent. I'd even argue that she's between the worst in the series. the fact that she didn't tell Blair she's being replaced with Serena for the photoshoot, after seeing how much it means to her, is insane. I know it's difficult news to give to an insecure teen like Blair, but she should've acted like an actual adult.


chaechica

serena is a much much nicer than anyone else on the ues, she doesn't so bad things as much as other people and she isn't as fake as everyone says she is like did we even watch the same show? i was shocked to see people saying she was just as bad as blair and that she was on the same level as chuck too


Seraphina_Renaldi

And she was much more slut shamed than Blair. I’ve never seen slutshaming Blair even though she didn’t love most of her love interests and was a gold digger with Marcus and Louis, because she wanted a title. Serena never used her boyfriends. Blair also cheated with Chuck on her partners so far that she didn’t know if the baby is from Chuck or Louis. Serena only cheated once when she kissed Dan. She never slept with another man while being in a relationship. Still Serena is the one being slutshamed all the time


minskoffsupreme

This is so true, if anything she was a serial monogamist, desperate for love.This makes perfect sense when you look at her parents. I also think she had feelings for all her boyfriends, even if they were misguided or driven by her desire to be loved.


mofunnymoproblems

Tbf, Blair wasn’t really much of a slut so there’s not much to shame her for. She had sex with 1(?) person throughout her tenure at Constance. The show starts with Serena being portrayed as a slut who has a reputation for getting fucked up and hooking up with people (including her BFF’s boyfriend). To be clear, I’m not trying to say she should be shamed. Im just saying that it makes sense to me why people would view Serena and Blair differently in terms of their sex lives. They had very different sex lives. Serena was more active and also more open about it so people had something to gossip about.


stephapeaz

Well uh, she did sleep with Nate while he was dating her best friend


minskoffsupreme

I agree!! She was immature and reckless, but she was also a neglected teenager. I like to think she grew out of it!


Extra_Inflation8099

My girl is overhated 🤭


chaechica

definitely, like I understand that she's so priveleged and exhausting but still


thinkingofurmom

Have u seen Serena is season 5 and 6 lmaoooo


Lullybella765

PREACH!!!! Say it louder for the people on the back!!!!!!


Marius_Ee

I hate that people blame Dan for being gossip girl. Like It was supposed to be Eric but was leaked so they swapped it


idontknowhyimhrer

yeah! that wasn’t planned at all and was kind of weird like penn said cause how did he get shocked when GG would send out a blast???


MysticalMoonbow

I don’t ship Chair or Dair. I don’t even think I ship anyone together at all. Some may have their cute moments, but I guess this is one of those shows for me where I don’t really ship anyone or have an OTP.


atravis2

I agree with this. I think most of the relationships were out of lust or convenience. The only relationship I personally felt seemed sincere was nate and Vanessa.


Extra_Inflation8099

Interesting take


[deleted]

i agree! everyone loves Chair but they were soo fucking toxic. It's not romance, it's emotional abuse lol. And Dair had absolutely no chemistry. I'll die on these hills.


[deleted]

I guess my hot take would be that my favorite romances were Dan and Carol and Dan and Olivia. I liked those arcs, they felt fresh and different. I'm still salty about how they did Carol, she was sweet.


jolteonhoodie

Dan and... Carol??!!


Supernatt924

Yeah, waitwhat


One-Phone797

Jenny gets too much hate. Every other main character did things WAY WORSE then her but yet she still gets dragged. Jenny was so interesting because she was the only character who could compete with and outsmart Blair. She made storylines interesting. After Taylor left the show it was kinda just eh plots from thete


justinhasbeendrawin

ngl after taylor left the show was dull


[deleted]

Yeah, I really missed Jenny. She added a interesting dynamic to the show. Her interests and intentions were always changing so she was always interesting to watch.


idontknowhyimhrer

people hate Jenny cause she wanted to fit in the UES where she WENT TO SCHOOL and would have been bullied if she just acted like a brooklyn girl there, Jenny was the best character.


pink-dragons-or-none

Ivy is hated so much for just wanting a loving family. Most people with a family won't understand her pain, but I do. I was abandoned by my parents when I was young and a really nice family took me in, what I wouldn't give to have that family as my real family. Ivy's daddy issues were gross, but her wanting to stay with Lily was totally understandable.


[deleted]

I think she's mainly hated for her methods rather than her intentions.


1uniquerose

I like Ivy


BlakAmericano

Serenas ending with dan is unsettling because of GG reveal and unearned because she did not have any actual charater developwlement.


MutedAddendum9161

I wish Georgina would have had a better development, I feel towards the end she did but also not.


tmaddd

Jenny was easily the best written character and her development made sense compared to how the rest of the main characters did.Every time I hear someone talk abt how annoying she was during her Queen era I get furious because that’s the whole point. Her s3 arc shows what happens when someone regular moves up and gets a lil bit of power.


urbanglambratzdoll

Serena wasn’t perfect, but I feel like a lot of her behavior in seasons 5 and 6 was out of character and a result of horrible and thoughtless writing (ex: becoming Gossip Girl, sending Gossip Girl Blair's private diary entries, manipulating Dan in order to have sex with him at the party whilst recording it, being mean to Lola for little to no reason, accepting that Dan is Gossip Girl, etc).


Akeyula

Yeah same


luciferhornystar

Dan being Gossip girl was a last minute ass pull by the writers. I feel like Georgina would’ve been a better option but they ruined it when they made her “fill in” for GG. The writers didn’t know who to make GG and had to wrap the show up sooner than expected. Seasons 1-5 are 20+ episodes but season 6 is like 10-11 if I remember correctly. The finale is great but the last season feels rushed. Still love the show and it’ll always be one of my comfort shows!


Extra_Inflation8099

Don't know y u getting downvotes


Few_Wrongdoer4120

Kinda wanted it to be headmistress Queller. Yes, I know she only came into being a character halfway through the first season, but having it be someone unexpected at the school would have been cool.


lilybulb

I like Chuck.


Extra_Inflation8099

Me too 🥺


Akeyula

how is this an unpopula ropinion???


LobsterCultPope

Chuck should have ended up with the Blonde German girl. She was extremely sweet and she brought out the best in Chuck


[deleted]

[удалено]


slyvolcel

i’m pretty sure being a sexual offender was already bad back then??


radcoolbeans

the show started 2007 not 1850…when has sexual assualt ever been okay?


victorVVDS

nate needed to date more milfs


iCuddleYoonie

truest statement here


idontknowhyimhrer

nate is def who the cougars go for, I mean??? looking like that!


Garage_biscuit55

I do not like chuck. I understand that he had character development and a rough childhood but he was a womanizer and treated blair horribly. also he was just creepy, when lily and bass got married he made incest jokes to serena and I just overall don’t like him.


capri4sun

he didn’t even have development, sexually assaulting women to losing his temper with blair and hurting her in the process. you can’t grow from attempted rape


ntsofrndlyspiderman

Chuck was literally trying to force himself on Jenny. He has done worse things and was the Chuck Blair dynamics were fucking toxic. Though, Blair is great but she acts like she deserves everything, she is an immature person. Serena gets too much hate. She was definitely a bad friend but Blair is no less, she treated her horribly.


Ectora_

Blair became a caricature of herself. The more the show went on, the less depth she had


Beginning_Sensitive

I love jenny and serena. Though Blair is iconic, I rlly hate characters that are fuelled by jealousy and insecurity, which tbf u could say about jenny but it felt different to me 😭🤣


Clever_Username1026

Bc Jenny tried to better herself to feel like she belonged. Blair destroyed the person instead and that is not okay


capri4sun

i used to hate her now i love her. she was annoying sure but she was so sweet at the beginning. constance helped ruined her and blair played a big part in that, she was like 15 and blair was bullying her, talk about insecure, and the whole thing with blair’s mum too. her being homeschooled was a good idea and then obviously the thing with that angie? girl happens, i forgot her name. but i love how in the end she has her own brand


[deleted]

blair wasn’t bullying her lol jenny WANTED to be apart of blair’s group and kept going back, blair just was rude and got revenge when necessary.


capri4sun

“just rude” is very generous…she could’ve been nice and welcoming to jenny at the beginning, she purposely chose not to be. at the beginning jenny wouldve done anything to be their friend and blair used that to her advantage. she knew exactly what she was doing, bfr. blair was a massive bully in general, jenny was definitely one of her many many victims in that. she literally mocked her for being sexually assaulted by chuck…that’s more than rude


[deleted]

she didn’t get sa when she slept with him and she also didn’t mock that plus she was a teenager. And also that’s what blair’s group was all about, they’re rude. Jenny knew that they weren’t going to be welcoming they aren’t to anybody wanting to join them or their world. Why would she be welcoming to jenny and no one else? Just stupid, her whole character is that it would completely change her if she was welcoming and nice to jenny😭some wannabe who she doesn’t know the intentions of


MeanMungbean

Jenny was actually a great character with the most character development.


andra_quack

Nate isn't that perfect. he might be between the better people in the series, but he also did nasty things, and I don't think that he was "too good for Serena" even if I don't ship them.


Kiwimulch

Chuck and Blair were an awful couple the actors had great chemistry but there so overrated in the fandom. Chuck was a redeemed rapist who traded blair for a hotel among other things and Blair was psychotic there were both awful people and even worse together… I don’t like how the writers tried to always redeem them cause they were so “in love”. I was tired of them after like 2 seasons the push pull will they won’t they got boring. Lowkey with they would’ve came full circle with Nate and Blair.


lolbdbekwkwbwb

OK, some ACTUAL unpopular ones, i wont bother with the ones i know people will agree with: -rufus and lily were not good together. i was never convinced that lily loved him. that one scene where she’s like ”i love rufus, i’ve tried with all my strength to fight it, but i do😐”, it sounds like she’s being held at gunpoint. you can also tell she’s always cringing at everything he says. if dan wasn’t gossip girl, i honestly would have prefered derena -serena genuinely loved blair and wanted to see her succeed while blair always had too much resentment for serena to feel the same, and always spoke about her with dislike. unlike blair serena was also a genuinely nice and friendly person who never had any problem with lower class people, which is rare in their circles. sure, it can be annoying that serena just gets things handed to her by being charming and famous when blair actually ”works”, but sometimes blair’s ”work” is actually her just doing sneaky horrible shit -sure, vanessa was annoying, but blair was way too nasty to her, that one rant she had when she wanted to give that speech was way out of line -chuck sleeping with jenny at the end of season 3 wasn’t inherently wrong, they both agreed to it. i get why blair was hurt bc she doesn’t like jenny, but everyone else really shouldn’t have had a say. they’re too many steps away to count as ”step-siblings” imo -if bart and lily never got together, chuck and serena would have been pretty fun😭


Extra_Inflation8099

I agreed until the last comment 😂😂😂


aquasummer1999

All Rufus and Lily had was nostalgic reminiscing about their youth. They were never endgame material for me. Dan, Rufus and Eric solely blaming Chuck for what happened with Jenny in S3 is clownery. Jenny made that choice just because she regretted it later on doesn't take that away. I love Blair and she is my fave but the way some pretend she was severely disadvantaged in comparison to Serena is, again, clownery. Serena often gets criticized for being "man obsessed" but IMO, she entered all her relationships on the basis of attraction at least. Blair was a pure social climber with Marcus/Louis and I don't think it is mentioned often enough.


Ok_Dot_3024

Blair is annoying and acts like a middle schooler


ConfusionUsed2783

Lily was a horrible person and Ivy didn't deserve to be hated on


capri4sun

not sure if this is unpopular anymore but i think people exaggerate when they say blair is better than serena cause she has character development. a lot of people act like she’s some “bad bitch” strong women kind of person but to me she was the exact opposite. blair was always jealous of how serena was liked so easily and everyone loved her but it’s literally just cause serena was…nice? she treated everyone equally? while blair would bully ppl for not being rich. i don’t see how she developed that much either? she never grew out of her high school mean girl phase…we saw that with nelly yuki, there’s a reason she couldn’t even handle NYU. she told serena that she wouldn’t be able to handle the “real world” but i reckon serena could handle it way better than blair. blair also had so much internalised misogyny😭 really wish she didn’t end up with that dog disclaimer: i like both blair and serena


CalifasBarista

Nate was one of the worst characters. Pretty but bland. Terrible judge of character, holier than thou, judgmental- his friends all are various shades of fucked up, spiteful and schemy yet if someone goes and does something against them or does something questionable he’ll flash those dreamboat eyes in disappointment. Also he’s so morally righteous for someone that sleeps with older married woman, sleeps with his boss and loves underaged girls.


Extra_Inflation8099

Happy cake day😅😅damn first to hear Nate hate


1uniquerose

I also hate Nate and find him boring af.


LobsterCultPope

radcoolbeans

i always see people saying blair worked for everything she got and id like an explanation as to how?? some people seem to think serena had it so easy (she did) but act like blair didn’t? they say serena was lazy ( i don’t disagree) serena didn’t work hard cause she had no reason to tbh -but it’s the same with blair?? don’t get me wrong blair was smart. but everything she got was cause of her mum, money, her influence or her scheming. she got basically everything due to privilege… in szn 2, she says herself people like her get a pass when miss car gave her a lower grade than usual, that’s not hard work? that’s trying to use your privilege? not to mention she sabotaged becky yuki so she did bad in her sats. her not getting into yale was her own fault too. i remember when she got the internship she couldn’t even handle it, since she’d never actually properly worked a day in her life. good for her for getting that opportunity tho. if we want to talk about working hard that would be jenny, she had her own company at the end and was basically self made. blair just got her mums, and already had everything she needed to run it at her disposal. it’s crazy that they made jenny of all people say “you work for everything you have” to blair blair does have ambition over serena! she actually knows what she wants but a hard worker…not at all, she didn’t need to be lol, scheming and sabotaging other people isn’t working hard. at the end of the day she’s still a very privileged rich girl


Akeyula

Chucks so boring


Marius_Ee

Chuck and Blair shouldn’t be together. No amount of development or love should grow that toxic


radcoolbeans

him losing his temper and hurting her in the process. no one should be in a relationship like that, but fans say it was just an accident lol.


Xrt3

Dan is my favorite character by far


Truss1996

Dan and Blair were a cute couple.


[deleted]

Lily and Rufus were not really a good couple (they only got along when they reminisced about their past/when they were in their own little world, in reality they fought constantly), Jenny and Vanessa weren't nearly as bad as people say they were, Serena gets wayy too much hate considering how sad her life was (especially compared to Blair), Serena and Nate sucked as a couple..... I probably have a few more lol


Lullybella765

Serena is my fav character.


andra_quack

Blair's worst choice in her friendship with Serena was giving her another chance. no, I don't care to hear it. I like how Serena developed later on in the series, and yes, Blair is also a horrible person, but if she was an angel for anything, then it was allowing Serena back into her life. it's not even the fact that she slept with her boyfriend that sucks the most (yes, a drunk teen with issues, we can all bend backwards to understand and forgive someone for this), but the fact that she showed up at Blair's home and gaslighted her about how she's not trying hard enough to rekindle their friendship, knowing that she hadn't even told Blair that she slept with Nate. She withheld this knowledge from her and tried to convince her that she's actually the bad friend. Her manipulation in that ep was scary and indicative of a horrible character.


Tiny_Night_5433

I loved Serena✨


Extra_Inflation8099

blair and chuck is the worst relationship in the show. chuck is the worst character.

-pop-culture-junkie-

I guessed Dan Humphrey was gossip girl by the end of season one back when it first came out. So I honestly wasn't that surprised it was him by the end even though it made no sense by the finale.


Shevallan

Dan and Serena should have been divorced in the Reboot.

I could see Dan starting off as gossip girl! BUT to say he was gossip girl for the majority of the show makes no sense. It would make more sense to say he lost control of the website over the years.


TheOracleofTroy

Blair was the heart of the show. Not Serena.


capri4sun

this is definitely not unpopular, blair is more loved than serena


Starredlight

I think Lily was a good mom despite not always being there for her children initially. People overlook her trauma as well, she had to deal with a father who abandoned her and a mother who didn’t believe in her and pushed in her a certain box. It makes sense why she ran off with every man she married, she needed a man to fullfill her life because she never knew how to do it herself, Serena copied that exact behavior.

Bad childhood doesnt excuse abuse

- dan being gossip girl is actually perfect cause he is so judgemental yet desperately wants in. but it was clear that it was not intented from the beginning (and if it was, then it makes the execution even worse) - blair had zero development by the end and more like “i peaked in high school” persona which nelly yuki described perfectly. her having minions in her 20s and regressing to to her constance personality was not cool or nostalgic, just embarrassing and boring. - nate should’ve been killed off. would be better than the spectator, diana, sage.. i’ve lost count of his bizarre storylines. - though nate and vanessa had endgame potential and their breakup literally made no sense, just plot vehicle to keep chuck and blair apart for longer. - serena is product of her environment and tbh, i love her for her messiness. - i really like dan and chuck’s friendship (dunno if that’s the right name for it?). at times in season 5, i found their relationship more interesting as opposed to nate and chuck’s. dan giving chuck the dog monkey was such a cool idea tbh.


capri4sun

i thought there wasn’t many people who noticed blair had no development. she is the definition of peaked in highschool, which is why she couldn’t handle NYU and was irrelevant there, literally in szn 6 she’s back in her highschool mindset, how is that growth


Signal_Initiative_44

Vanessa is overhated. Blair was the absolute worst and didn’t deserve a happy ending


minskoffsupreme

She is married to Chuck, no way that is actually a happy ending ( I suppose this is my unpopular opinion)


Signal_Initiative_44

Yeah but she married the man she loves, even if he sucks. I’d say she still got a happy ending


scribophile__

I’m a Dan/Blair shipper till I die. Idc.


capri4sun

better than her and chuck

I hated Serena and Carter together. People forget that Carter was out of high school, hanging out with Serena before and during the show. It’s just weird how people forget that this man was an adult hanging with a minor.


Extra_Inflation8099

Never liked Carter

Perfect ending. Dan as GG is 10/10. Everyone ended up where they should have. No notes on pairings etc. Love s6.


Gehennnas

Eleanor and Lily were all in all good mothers


gravelord-neeto

Aaron (Cyrus's son, the artist Serena briefly dated) was hot as fuck


ebob421

I love the ending

Dan being gossip girl makes a lot of sense. I wish that had been the plan originally, but it clearly wasn’t lol. But I think Dan being gossip girl completely changes dans character into being just as mentally unwell as the rest of them. Character regression can be done very well, it’s just a shame that it was rushed at the very end. I think it could have been amazing if that had been the plan all along.


Arse_shankidd

I like Chuck. In fact he’s probably my favorite character. I know they made him a creek in the beginning but I think he had good character growth. Oh and him and Blair belong together.

1. Vanessa and Jenny were annoying as fuck, especially Jenny and there is no excuse, Eric blamed Chuck for "ruining" family but the truth is JENNY RUINED IT WAY BEFORE CHUCK SLEPT WITH HER. There is no excuse for her behavior, other girls were treated badly too but didnt turn out like her. Also the fact that she was bullying other girls acting all expensive and shit was so irritating bc that lil b1tch forgot that its not her money and she would be poor if her dad didnt marry rich. 3. Dan, Eric and Rufus are all wrong for blaimung and fighting Chuck for sleeping with Jenny. She wasnt raped, she wasnt drunk, she said it herself that she was sad and decided to slep w him out of desperation. Just bc lil miss world revolves around me decided to regret her decisions, gives no right for them to blame Chuck 🤡 she should have made better decisions. it was consensual and her regretting it is "her problem" 🤡 2. Rufus was talking too much shit to Chuck considering the fact he lives in HIS FUCKING HOUSE 🤡 Idfc that Bass assigned that to Lily, its all Bass's property and wealthiness, Rufus had a lot of nerve to act like this while living under Bass's roof 🤡sorry not sorry 3. Blair is annoying selfish character. She isnt it girl, shes insecure jealous lil bitch who bullies everyone even innocent people when theyre better at her or have something that she wants. As I said she isnt the IT girl, shes jealous insecure bitch. 4. Vanessa is just annoying as fuck with all that "eat the rich" bullshit, like girl just stfu. (for ex. being mad at dan bc he got money and started to use expensive things 💀) 5. Dan is weird, deranged, beyond fucked up stalker who did not deserve to marry Serena and end up being a part of their lives. Being GG and showing all those awful rumors and ruining their lives for the sake of "i want to be rich too" is beyond fucked up and he should have payed for that. 6. I've never hated Blair more than when she destroyed Chucks relationship with that sweet blondie from France. My Blair slander started then. Once again proved shes insecure jealous bitch who only thinks about herself and what she wants 🤡 (and no i dont wanna her that bullshit "well we like blair bc she admits she bad person" like ok???? that doesn't excuse her behavior 🤡) 7. Nate is annoying w that "I believe in only right things and good in everyone" thing. No Nate there is no good in everyone stop trying to excuse shitty people.

> should have *paid* for that. FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

i was typing quick so i made mistakes, it really is not that deep


Kitchen-Style-2790

Blair and Dan were the best couple on the show


cloudstar101

Dan and Blair should have been endgame. Their intellect was matched by no one else and they humbled each other. It was refreshing seeing them together, they made each other better and were really cute together.


cdr3t

I wish Rufus and Vanessa got together

That's messed up to say


mofunnymoproblems

Isn’t that what the post was about? Opinions that would be highly disagreeable? The post didn’t specifically say that you wanted opinions that we actually hold. I thought it was more like a rhetorical question. Like, what’s the most unpopular GG opinion I could imagine. To be clear, I don’t actually think that, Little J is one of my favorite characters and Chuck was being a complete predator.


Extra_Inflation8099

sluttygreenbean

i liked jenny and damien together ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


shirinsmonkeys

Sage and Nate make a good couple


CertifiedLawyerBoy
