[@estah97]

Tbh I have a theory that Dan and Blair were supposed to end up together but because people shipped Chuck & Blair so much it ruined it. Like in season 1 when Eleanor replaced Blair with Serena for the photo shoot and Dan was the one to comfort her, I knew it was gonna happen. They kept emphasising that they hate each other and never be together. Y’all don’t forget Chuck wasn’t supposed to make it passed season 1.

Wait chuck was supposed to die??

[@Dash120z]

​@@Veronika-vy5ouno he was simply a side character but got too popular so the writers decided to pair him up with Blair

[@emptyheaded7182]

I think so too, there was a cut scene they didn't use where Dan came to Blair's writing contest or something like that but not even her mom did I can't remember.. back when they "hated" each other. They addressed it in a throwaway line in season 5. The problem is the fact that they focused too much on the sleazy thing with her and Chuck for the first seasons because sex sells, instead of putting a bit more hints of Dan and Blair in the beginning. Then they again sold out to impressionable, loud teenagers in s6 and turned the whole story around just throwing away all build up and growth in previous seasons. And made Dan of all people Gossip Girl because... uh... he's a writer? He has to look worse than Chuck? Not for any logical reason at least. And I don't really get why because they knew this was the last season and didn't have to do well, but they just got lazy and threw together some s1 fanfiction.

[@myvu889]

@@Dash120z Well, funny thing is people caught on Chuck and Blair's chemistry and got on their wagon. The same thing didn't happen with Dan and Blair even though their comforting scene happened even before the limousine one. Go figure, in all honesty, Dan and Blair belong to two different worlds. Dan could never stop judging Serena and her world, why should he have fitted in that same world with a girl like Blair?

[@bellaloves2815]

I liked Dan and Blair together a lot, and I wish it had changed that Chuck and Blair went on to just be great friends and STOP GETTING TOGETHER, but the reveal of Dan as Gossip Girl was insane. It literally makes Dan a psycho, manipulating everything and all the girls he dated into dating him as a result of him being there to “comfort” and “support” them when it suited him and angry and “hurt” by them at other times. Him being gg made the entirety of him and Blair seem even more cruel of him. He ruined her life on the regular and then dated her? I wish anyone else had been gg, cause him and Blair were genuinely so cute and challenged each other while bringing out the best till you find out the truth about Dan.

[@Dash120z]

[@trarmaine49]

maybe the writer want us to see some ppl do "ruined her life on the regular and then dated her", some men like that, they love powerful strong women but they cant help but trying to change them to be not too powerful not too strong to meet their ego.

[@shivanijoshi9252]

In defence of Dair, 😆 Serena lied to Dan that blair had already picked chuck and then got him super drunk before he slept with her so I really blame this on her - especially since her actions had malicious intent (Blair needs to DROP Serena, she's so fucking toxic I can't) but he still shouldn't have slept with her 🥲 also serena f*cked dan in the same place where she slept with nate just to hurt blair which is honestly insane. I just ignore season 6 and dan being gossip girl coz it literally makes zero sense and honestly drives me insane lol Also I didn't like that nate pretended to still be into Blaire in season 1 because his dad wanted them to get married so he could strike a deal with Elanor, both nate and chuck treated blair as a comodity to be traded for money but nate was decent enough to feel guilty about it and come clean

[@aminaismyname4318]

YES. TO ALL OF THIS.

[@Lv-sg4zp]

The only reason why i can forgive Nate for what he did to Blair on season 1 is the fact that he was being forced by his parents to do that. Imagine, as a teenager, being told (by your parents) that you need to date someone to “save the family”. And when he tried to tell his parents that he didn’t want to do that, they would label him as rebelious and literally blame their problems on him. I honestly felt bad for him. His family was terrible.

[@shivanijoshi9252]

@@Lv-sg4zp That's true. the actors look much older so sometimes I forget that they're only supposed to be 16-17 at this point 😭 It is implied though that Nate liked serena for a long time before they hooked up (thanksgiving flashback episode in season 1 I think) so I just cant forgive him for that but I honestly love Nate and Blair as friends ❤

The marriage between Loui and Blair wasn’t even real _real_ . Loui, himself, told Blair that they’re only married on paper and for appearance sake. And the way the contract was written literally made Blair a prisoner.

[@adinakruijssen3056]

He was fine till wedding, he became vindictive after since it was such a an ego-bruising event. It was definitely humiliating, but he took it as an excuse to act like a total asshole. I do think if he'd have somehow been able to swallow his pride and distrust in Blair and just been the "perfect prince" during their honeymoon period and beyond (basically focusing on what they did/do have), they would've been fine and ended up together (like, outside of gg, ofc the show had Blair/Chuck as endgame)

[@tinycindy2977]

Explains why I love the first two more 😂

[@nicollettes4665]

Yes I also noticed that after season 2 the show got more comedic and the story lines were more ridiculously dramatic.

[@longlostgf]

it’s kinda like The Office (and probably a bunch of other shows i can’t think of rn) where a show is a semi-realistic satire of the real thing in s1 but around s2 starts to drop the critical aspects because it needs you to like and sympathize with the characters, so by the end they’ve made this really fucked up setting seem all warm and fuzzy. way easier to get 6+ seasons on network tv with satisfying character arcs than realism and a critical perspective

[@LydiaIsSweet]

That makes sense. I always felt the show declined especially in ensemble writing after s2. They cast aside characters such as Vanessa, Nate, Serena, Georgina and even Jenny to a certain degree and had most if not all become a running joke or humiliated for being "poorer"... recycled stories and partner switching got ridiculous because they wouldn't do plots that actually impacted the characters. Serena and Nate were basically just hoeing around and they had this weird obsession with Chuck and Blair but all their problems were just more of the same. The only longer plot I could find was Dan and Blair in later seasons which stood out to me because everything else was very transactional, repetitive or short lived. And it was obvious they'd completely forgotten the class commentary and instead decided to switch up with Dan, Vanessa etc. attempt to climb the social ladder.... ? And it was just so disingenuous and out of character.

Ok a few details were off but overall great video 1. Chuck didn’t tell Blair about the deal he made with Jack until after he thought they slept together 2. He payed her dowry without her knowledge and didn’t want her to know 3. Blair wasn’t at NYU when she was interning at W she was at Columbia 4. That women is actually chucks mother she just told him she wasn’t so he’d get over her 5. Chuck wasn’t in a coma he had just lost a lot of blood Also Nate was so wrong for acting like him cheating on Blair is equal to Blair sleeping with Chuck after they broke up and also in season 6 when he was dating a 17 year old 😭

I feel like The Boys is different though. The Boys is a satire that comments on modern America. Often actual assaulters get away with it with just a slap on the wrist. That’s what happened with The Deep. It’s upsetting but realistic. They still portray his character as the pathetic idiot loser he is. Gossip Girl however, tries to keep Chuck as a protagonist. It’s so weird. I don’t like how Gossip Girl did it. The Boys however did it pretty okay imo. This is just my interpretation though! I could be wrong!

[@moustik31]

@@pauli7051 I disagree. To me it feels like they included the scene for shock value and then refused to follow up with the consequences in the rest of the season, they didnt want to give it the care, attention and meaning it deserves and just dropped it/pretended it didnt happen. Which is why The Deep's episode feels like it's on a totally different season than the pilot, imo. And yes, I think it's partly due to sexism as other characters' trauma and/or abusive behaviours are handled better.

What I hate about chuck and Blair aren’t just for the obvious reasons: toxicity, ultimatums, conditional love, abuse, terrible communication, etc. I hated the fact that in the later seasons when chuck got therapy and started becoming somewhat of a better person, that they were so stubborn to get back together. “We can’t be together bc I need to protect you. I’ll always love you, but it’s for the best” PROTECT WHAT? The amount of times chuck let Blair go and then out of nowhere ruining her relationships is just so stupid and a waste of time.

i love Blair and Dan together personally. setting aside the good Chuck/bad Chuck question and their OTP relationship, i feel like Dan and Blair really challenge each other in ways that are narratively satisfying for their characters. Blair fulfills Dan’s UES fantasy in a way that Serena never could because dating Blair means he’s really in it, and Dan is the only person Blair loves who doesn’t share her social class and status and challenges her notions of, like, rigid hereditary bourgeois social hierarchy. very narratively satisfying in the world of the show

It’s frustrating how Dan receives the least respect and a lot of hate even though others have done far worse than him. Sure, he ran the Gossip Girl site, but he never posted false information or shared his own opinions. He just posted the tips that were sent in, and let’s not forget Blair submitted most of those tips. That says a lot about how similar and compatible Dair were. Meanwhile, Chuck literally sold Blair to his uncle and then “bought” her back from Louis. Blair was a spoiled brat who bullied others, and Serena? She’s a mess, always jumping to conclusions that benefit her, like when she blindly trusted her dad and almost ruined Lily and Rufus’s relationship. Not to mention, she was Gossip Girl herself for a brief time! Nate spent his time either dating older women or minors. Yes, Dan has his flaws, but the others are just as bad, if not worse.

i haven’t watched GG for a couple of years and have been a chuck and blair apologist for a while but watching this i was like the brittany broski meme bc yeah no he was so terrible to her throughout the seasons up until the last season basically 😭😭. the BIGGEST thing to consider though is that while he spent a majority of the show being super toxic for her, Blair would never be able to settle down with anyone else due to her carnal (?idk if that’s the right word lol) nature and how much it aligns with his. I think that Dan had a chance if not for the reveal that he is GG (bullshit/lazy storytelling) and was inadvertently the reason for her miscarriage (it was needed bc imagine the horror of her having a baby with that dude, but like it was still a super traumatic thing) because he’s the only other person that challenges her in the way she needs. overall though yeah I agree with this take and I wish they had given her ONE MAN who was good for her in every aspect and didn’t abuse her verbally and emotionally 😭😭😭😭

(Additionally, I'm convinced the writers just went bipolar on him and Chuck is two different characters packed into one because some of his actions made zero sense).

[@zenieq101]

Also with Chuck the best things he did for Blair’s were often an apology for the worst. The only reason they had to pay the dowry was because he sent the pic that broke the contract. Plus something that is almost never discussed but is even more serious than selling her for the hotel is the fact that he tried to punch her in the face close fisted. It happened quick and she dodged but this man really tried it

[@faycoleman9023]

You're correct. He tried to R word Jenny and Serena in the first episode.

[@jijgigijiwapo]

I feel like if we're just looking at the tally, if we're letting the statistics stat, Chuck has to be more evil than Louis. He's been doing it longer

[@sunakoddeonu6580]

It rlly hits when you're re watching gg as an adult how messed up these characters are, never like chuck tbh he always irks me

[@leoniechaine3191]

Blair and Louis' wedding was lowkey giving Princess Diana ???

[@Aprilb3667]

I’m a Dair shipper as well idk their chemistry is great and he’s one of the less terrible men in the series.

[@racervoorhees]

forever a Dan and Blair shipper

[@diyasanjay-h9w]

i've been listening to this gold like a podcast

[@adragonsheart6680]

Unpopular opinion Can we talk about how blair and dan had more chemistry than dan snd serena i just wish they explored it more

[@ladywhistledownton]

Dan would have more chemistry with a fence post than with Serena.

[@Sthuthukile]

I'm sorry but I hated Dan and Blair together. Their friendship was so refreshing and honest, they challenged each other and realized they were more alike than they thought. They were both studious and ambitious, they loved the arts and would do anything to secure their future. I loved the buildup to their romance, but the relationship itself was handled poorly. It was like they had to constantly be in agreement with each other for things to work, which fizzled out their chemistry. The whole reason they worked so well is that fire they had, easily matching and outsmarting each other.. Dan seeing through her icy exterior and Blair being able to let down her guard around him.

[@afnanamo2284]

The audacity of chuck to say hes gon ruin blairs life after she ruined his relationship w eva as if he didnt ruin her life twice.

[@gabbyvelasquez3767]

im still totally a dair shipper tbh. if dan hadn't cheated with serena tho. but he was honestly the best out of all her options. im a sucker for enemies to lovers, not to mention their intellectual connection was so so good.

[@MF-vc3vt]

this entire video is so incredible!!

[@applepiegurl123]

NO THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT VANESSA I HAVE THOUGHT THAT FOR YEARS!!!

[@DayZe13]

38:20 technically the marriage thing only works for things *spouses* tell each other. So if it was said/done during marriage you can’t force anyone to testify but if you’re not then you can be forced to testify. So this marriage would be useless.

[@amarira]

my favorite show and new favorite youtuber im too tuned in

[@dblizz12]

nate is probably the most unproblematic person from the main cast and i feel like the writers did him so dirty in the last seasons bc why did he never have an actual relationship i feel like he should have ended up with blair or serena just anyone that he had an normal relationship with (not rlly sith blair bc he cheated on her) but why did they alwyas let him go for younger/older people ( Jenny, Diana, Marcus’s Mom) 😭😭 Also dan and blair is probably my favourite relationship from blair if only the writers didnt make him gossip girl 😭😭😭 but him cheating on blair was also more Serenas doing bc she had lied to him saying Chuck and Blair were together

[@jheelpari1]

all of Nate's girlfriends had more storyline and significance than Nate himself, in the entire series

[@amyanipitts1195]

i’d switch chuck and louis he “sold/traded” her for his hotel but other than that yes

[@labohemienne5560]

blair and chuck will never ever be happy. they can not calm down untill they manipulate everyone around them like chess figures, but then something happens and...if they had found another partner, he or her would become very depressive, but by having each other, they can go on planning things for other people that (lets be honest) wont work, but it scares me that they have a child😳

[@marci841]

You are STUNNING chica!!! Keep these girlie diva vids coming 💕

[@freyadonald3078]

maturing is realising chuck bass is toxic, not Blair's starcrossed-lovers soulmate that we were taught to believe.

[@dandelion_witch]

i have never ever hated Blair Waldorf. I was an I'm still crazy over her. She's an icon.

[@NoName-ir1iz]

Because Chuck wasn’t actually supposed to be a main character.

[@currently_carly]

love this video so much but I would def switch Dan and Marcus. Like the only evil thing Marcus really did was cheat on her (which is evil but the bar is on the ground in this show) where as Dan did actual sabotage, evil, ruin her life things like playing the video, especially when you take into account EVERYTHING that GG did to Blair throughout the show

[@Soymilkcakes]

Blair's least toxic boyfriend is someone who cheated on her with her best friend...our IT girl was seriously cooked in that show😥

[@mochiberryx]

personally i think that chuck was the absolute worst bf ever. he stood her up in s1 finale and then in s3 made her lure girls just so he could feel the validation that women still wanted him 🙄 and of course let’s not forget when he tried to r word jenny and serena (plus calling serena a slut.) nothing could make him redeemable in my eyes. the emotional damage he cause Blair is off the charts. together they just brought the worst in each other.

[@AlexDom09]

Love love LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These GG videos are amazing!! Thank you for making them and I hope you make more 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@lauracastro8847]

"chuck puts on a fake british accent" GIRL HE IS BRITISH

[@ineshamiti9157]

The actor not the character

[@LoveiswhatIlack]

what's the likelihood of you recapping the new version of Gossip Girl? I love your tv show breakdowns/analysis!

[@joselocalau123]

I LIVE in the ao3 tag for dan/blair. i love them together, they had so much potential and the show fumbled the bag!!!!

[@law11school11girly]

Love the commentary & you are so GORG ❤

[@luciagil97]

Im so happy I found ur channel. Bout to binge

[@mishya11]

From Princes to Billionares and.....Dan Humphrey 😭😭

[@Dash120z]

Dan and Blair always ❤

[@nattyayy]

OHMYGOD I love you for this

[@anjimiro1126]

I loved the breakdown!! Also ur so pretty and elegant

[@naweludoucene2825]

Dair was the intellectual ship 😌

[@DonsHerr]

Okay okay so I'm loving this vid but I HAVE TO COMMENT to say shay you are beautiful beyond REASON omgggg

[@nicollettes4665]

If I had to reorder this list from most evil, it would be Chuck, Louis, Dan, Marcus, Nate.

[@brucasroxx]

She tends to go for extremely powerful, wealthy men, from princes to lords to billionaires... and Dan Humphrey 🙄 🤣🤣🤣

[@soup9914]

dair is literally one of the best teen drama ships

[@sofiaantunez2733]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Keep up the good work🎉

[@MA-yc7pz]

Tbh her best match was Dan but aint ready for it ...

[@bluebird7990]

Hey this isn't relevant to the video topic but when u said that Vanessa was the only black girl, I wanted to remind you of Raina Thorpe! She was around in season 4 (?) I believe. Obviously tho Vanessa was the only recurring poc in the show

[@thepigeon9230]

she still wasn't in the main cast as much as Vanessa tho

[@yemidotcom]

I was trying to guess if you were African and then you whipped out the “I’m chuck bass” in an accent that can only be described as every aunty I’ve ever had in the same voice they say “fine mama looking sexy” and I knew. I could still be wrong but I will be subscribing solely on that 🤣🤣🤣
