Does anybody else get the feeling that the relationships in the show are about to go boom?
I mean, Chuck is REALLY into Blaire and with him being a 베이스 and all, I don't think he's going to want to wait for her forever. Especially since in the previws for the December 5th episode Nate and Blaire are getting back together, 또는 they atleast hook up, and Chuck sees them. (BTW, what is up with him seeing Nate hook up with everyone??) Chuck is SOOO jealous...I wonder what he'll do? One thing I can guess - Blaire and Nate's realtionship is gonna be SO different after the 다음 couple weeks.
And does anyone else think that the story should go 더 많이 into a relationship between Jenny and Eric??? 'CAUZ I DO!!!!!
P.S. Did I spell B's name right??
