Debutants wear WHITE


Gossip Girl, you surprise me once again--So yeah, Jenny is a b.tch, but I really actually felt bad for her... Although she was an idiot to needlessly be so rude to Blair, so she deserved having her escort stolen. As much as she deserved it, it was hard to feel any sense of justice. Who doesn't wanted to be accepted? And then, as I suspected would happen, Nate saved the day. One of the best moments ever on the show. And then Eric gets broken up with... Icing on the cake? And how is he planning to take her down in the future?? The tension between Serena and Trip is killing me...



Let's start with the good:

The nerds are back
+1 for consistency

Serena in an asymmetrical dress again
+1 for consistency

The announcer for the cotillion is the same as season 1
+5 for consistency

FINALLY the Dan Humphfrey-Vanessa hookup we've been waiting for
+100

The terrible:

Why is Jenny having her debut as a Junior at Constance??? Yeah, I know that Serena and Blair debuted as Juniors but really, most people don't have their debuts until freshman year of college
(neutral for consistency with previous seasons)

OMFG! Debutants do not wear anything but white

The order of announcements would never change at the last second

The "I'm a Bitch" song at the Deb ball (great song and perfect for Blair and Jenny, but absolutely would not happen)
-10

Why wasn't Dan at his sister's Deb ball???
-1

Was that another keg in NYU dorms?? A great fantasy, sorry but no! Never gonna happen. (at least it wasn't a rooftop party)

How many Vanderbilt/Whitney's can the writers fit on this show? Nate and his family, Jonathan (who has never interacted with Nate).... Isn't there another well known rich family they can make people fictionally part of?
