Dan Is Stupid For Choosing Blair Over Rome On 'Gossip Girl'

Poor Lonely Boy! This summer he’s going to be stuck with without a girlfriend — and without a future!
If Dan (Penn Badgley) had his head screwed on straight, he wouldn’t have said “no” to a once-in-a-lifetime chance to write in Rome for the summer. I don’t think Rufus (Matthew Settle) is going to be happy when he hears about this one.

Freeing Blair from her royal ties was too big of a task for Georgina Sparks to handle — she had to bring Chuck into the picture.

'Gossip Girl' Recap: Dan & Blair Finally Get Alone Time

Dan and Blair have sex for the first time, Serena gives a try at being Gossip Girl and a secret from Chuck’s near-death experience is revealed on the April 2 episode of ‘Gossip Girl.’
All I have to say is either Dan (Penn Badgley) and Blair (Leighton Meester) are big fat drama queens or the sex was truly just indescribably awful. If the latter was the case, why they’d even go back to each other is beyond me.

'Gossip Girl' Stars Ed Westick & Penn Badgley Reveal Who Loves Blair More

There’s no doubt Chuck & Blair’s love story is the greatest of all time, but Ed & Penn tell HollywoodLife.com that Chuck’s love for B may not be what it’s all cracked up to be. Plus, Penn reveals the truth about the recent photos of that scary DAIR kiss.
Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair’s (Leighton Meester) relationship on Gossip Girl is intense, tortuous and far from normal — but maybe that’s why we are all so infatuated by it. No matter what roadblocks they may come across, they still find their way back to each other which is why they are totally meant to end up together.
