Is it a Chuck Bass Version of Narnia?

GG-

D + S are “over!” Who’s surprised? Ooh! Not me! Not me!

B was in trouble then not (hello! no cell phones for Constance girls? what were they thinking?!), Miss Carr was scandalized over someone witnessing her having frequent coffees with Dan Humphrey, then her name was cleared, B was expelled (this couldn’t even last a whole episode?), back in, MC was fired, B was wrongfully cleared, and finally MC was back in but she wouldn’t be aware of this, as she was undressing D at the time of the call. Guess the best-friends-with-S thing wasn’t destined to last long…

Meanwhile, C is obsessed with some mystery nanny he met in his drugged-out dreams and N and V finally make a laid-back appearance as a couple. Excuse me: adorable!

GG needs more plotlines as opposed to, I don’t know, the same tired, recycled one. 

OTH-

We learned a valuable dating tip from Jamie Scott on One Tree Hill last night. When your wingman is focusing in on your prospective woman, shouting “He was in jail!” usually throws said woman off the scent. Of course this was his teacher, let’s call her Tina, and his wingman was his grandpa, the wonderful Dan Scott. Later, Jamie broke down and told him “Go away. You’re mean. That’s why daddy and uncle Lucas don’t like you.” Good point!

Oh, the OTH mini-controversies!

The whole episode was a clever casting session for all the characters on OTH, being cast as their teenage counterparts in Lucas’ movie. Peyton wasn’t allowed to see her fiancee unless she tried out for the role of “Peyton Sawyer” and Brooke was stalked by her actress-self, embodying Brooke and making notes on her every move, mastering her raspy voice, and suggesting sluttier clothes for her character. Brooke was upset by Julian’s casting requirements of her high school self’s part (and that he agreed with the sluttier clothes) but all was resolved in the end.

Whew, OTH! That was about to get controversial!

A Double Shot at Love (season finale)-

There was a plan, not from the beginning… but nearing the last couple weeks, an unspoken plan had definitely been set in motion. Trevor adored Rikki and “had a lot of fun” with Vikki. Rebekah clicked with Vikki and so did her son. Trevor told Rikki he loved her. It was an obvious finale! Rikki and Trevor, Vikki and Rebekah. But no. First, both girls send Rebekah home, saying they’re in love with someone else: Trevor. Bum-bum-bum! Yeah, we figured that out. Trevor comes and hovers between them on their floating platforms, which looks curiously close to walking a plank either way, and says how much he likes Rikki, which we, and she, already know. They tell him its his decision. Trevor is not the best decision-maker in the world. He says something about being honest with himself and walks over the Vikki plank. WHAT?!?! Yes, Rikki, we were surprised as you.

There you go, folks. Don’t leave anything up to an easily-distracted, barely-opinionated surfer.
