I'm happy to present our February FOTM with the amazing Julia, very loyal CB 팬 since the very beginning spreading the 사랑 for them everywhere she gets and greatly contributing to this spot. So well deserved! Without further ado, here's her interview. :)

1. Congrats on winning Julia! How does it feel to be a Chair FOTM?
It feels amazing! I've been a huge Chair 팬 for years, but it's only recently that I started getting involved in the spot, and it's awesome to be recognized for it! I'm so happy that a bunch of us contributed to making the CB spot active again!

2. Standard question: Tell us something about yourself that we don't know yet.
Well, I live in New Jersey in the United States and I was born on May 21, 1995, making me a sophomore in high school and probably one of the youngest people here on the CB spot! Haha. That's pretty much it, lol.

3. What got 당신 hooked on Gossip Girl?
In December 2007, my sister told me about this amazing new show that I had to start watching, Gossip Girl. I watched the pilot and I was hooked. It was winter break, so I was able to stay up late and watch all the episodes. I was completely hooked. Then I was able to watch live when School Lies aired!

4. How did 당신 become a Chair fan? Which scene made 당신 a hardcore shipper?
I remember watching 1x03 and thinking that CB could be a really good couple when they were scheming together in Blair's bedroom. I think I became a shipper during 1x08, but I know I was a hardcore 팬 의해 the time 1x18 came around. I know I was rooting for CB during that episode.

5. Where do CB rank at on your list of 가장 좋아하는 TV couples?
#1. They are my OTP, and no other couple comes close.

6. What's your 가장 좋아하는 thing about them as individual characters?
For Chuck, I think that he has a really big 심장 once 당신 peel away all his layers. I also 사랑 that he does not judge the people he cares about at all- for example, he was the person Eric first felt able to come out to. And he'll never judge Blair for her scheming nature, because he's the same way! As for Blair, her loyalty is her best trait 의해 far. No matter what's going on, she will always be there for those she cares about. I 사랑 that about her.

7. What's the thing that makes Chair different from other couples?
They are totally different from a typical teen couple. Usually 당신 have the bad guy and the good girl, 또는 the good guy and the bad girl. Chuck and Blair are the bad boy and the bad girl. Yet as the show progresses and their relationship progresses, 당신 see that these labels are just labels and there is 더 많이 to their characters. Also, the chemistry between Ed and Leighton makes them totally different (and better!) from other couples.

8. Would 당신 rather have different actors playing Chuck and Blair 또는 Ed and Leighton being a part of a different show not written 의해 JS&SS?
Ed and Leighton being a part of a different show not written 의해 JS&SS. First of all, JS/SS have basically destroyed everything I loved about this show, so I would be happy to watch a show not written 의해 them. Also, I think CB would be a shell of itself if different, lesser actors played Chuck and Blair. EL have to pull off the most ridiculous lines sometimes, and I don't think other actors could do it. And their chemistry is unbeatable.

9. Which is your 가장 좋아하는 quote said 의해 Ed 또는 Leighton about CB?
Leighton: "I can really relate to it- not necessarily because it's this dramatic, tumultuous relationship, but because the way they 사랑 each other is very real, and not for the sake of being dramatic. It's actual love. There's nobody for each other but them "
Enough said.

Best episode: 3x12

Best quote: “It wouldn’t be my world without 당신 in it.” 4x02

Best episode: 4x09
Scene/moment/anything that pissed 당신 off: Do I even have to say it? EVERY SINGLE MOMENT IN THE 초 HALF OF THIS SEASON. (not that I actually watched any of it… but I’ve read enough recaps).

15. Would 당신 still be watching Gossip Girl if they never happened?
Probably not. Honestly, sometime during the 초 half of season 2 I realized that I was only watching for Chair. I really couldn’t care less about what happened to the other characters. So if Chair hadn’t happened, the show would not have held my interest for very long.


16. How do 당신 feel about Chair/Chuck haters? What do 당신 have to say to them?
I’m going to have to quote Mean Girls here. “I’m sorry that people are so jealous of me, but I can’t help it that I’m popular!” Face it, DBers/CB haters/Chuck haters. OUR COUPLE IS BETTER THAN YOURS. WE ARE 더 많이 POPULAR, NO MATTER HOW MANY FAKE ACCOUNTS 당신 MAKE.WE ARE GETTING ENDGAME, NOT YOU.
Deal with it. And stop trolling our spot.

17. 당신 can "borrow" one scene from each one of the Gossip Girl couples. Which one do 당신 choose?
Serena and Nate: 침상, 소파 sex/assgrab (from 3x13)
Dan and Serena: The “I 사랑 당신 because” scene. Just change it around to make it fit CB.
Nate and Jenny: Fashion show 키스 (2x09)
Blair and Nate: Wow, they really have nothing worth stealing… I’ll go with the 2x19 talk (“I don’t know who I am anymore”)
Nate and Vanessa: 2x12 kiss
Carter and Serena: The forest scene in 3x01

18. BlanD endgame 또는 Chuck 베이스 dying a painful death? 당신 must choose 또는 you'll be obliged to watch the Ban 키싱 scene EXTENDED VERSION (which includes DB raunchy sex at the end) for a week 24/7. MWAHAHAHAHAH.
NAT!!! How can 당신 make me choose?!?!?!?!?!? Okay, I’m so sorry Chuck… but you’re going to have to die a painful death. Here’s my logic: if BlanD get endgame, Chuck would kill himself because he’d be so distraught. So I’ll just choose Chuck dying a painful death because that would also happen with the DB option. Might as well spare myself the pain of knowing BlanD are endgame.

19. 당신 have a chance to talk JS&SS into changing something in CB's story, would you; and what would 당신 change?
I think everyone knows what I’m going to say- GET RID OF BAN!!!! This storyline killed any enthusiasm I had for the show. I’m contemplating not watching live ever again because Dan and Blair, while they won’t turn romantic, will continue to be “best friends” for the rest of the show. I have no interest in watching those scenes. Also, I would probably get rid of the IP, just so people wouldn’t be able to say CB are emotionally abusive.

20. What's the most laughable thing haters have said?
The 피아노 sex was rape. LOLOLOLOL. I mean… what? I think they might want to watch that scene again. Blair’s face was not the face of a woman getting raped.

21. Have 당신 ever cried on a Chair scene, if so on which one?
Yes, many times. I was basically crying during every CB scene during 2x13, lol. I cried during the rooftop scene in 2x14. The “It’s just a game” scene in 2x23. And then I was crying happy tears during the ILY scene. No joke. I teared up during the hospital scene and during the train station scene.

22. What's your 가장 좋아하는 thing about this spot?
I 사랑 that we try to keep this spot alive 의해 making fun and interesting picks and through things like the ICAW club. I also 사랑 our loyalty- we’ll stand 의해 our ship to the end!
23. What would be the perfect ending for them?
I want a CB wedding in the series finale. The foreshadowing has been insane.

24. We're close to GG being back from hiatus; how would 당신 덮개, 랩 up season 4?
End DB, and make CB 프렌즈 again. Then they could slowly build up to a relationship.

25. Biggest slap in the face to any CB hater (as in some cast/crew quote saying how much CB pwn; biggest endgame hint; etc)?
Leighton Meester: "I can really relate to it- not necessarily because it's this dramatic, tumultuous relationship, but because the way they 사랑 each other is very real, and not for the sake of being dramatic. It's actual love. There's nobody for each other but them "
THERE’S NOBODY FOR EACH OTHER BUT THEM.

Suck it.

26. To finish this off, any last words?
Thank 당신 so much for voting for me! I really appreciate it! I 사랑 this spot so much and I hope we’re able to keep it active during the dark days that lie ahead! CB FTW!

Congrats again, Julia! I'm so glad I got to interview you. Disclaimer: I take no credit for any of the arts.
