Poor Chuck

Season 3 Episode 6, “Enough About Eve,” is a particularly irritating and sad episode because Blair, again let’s childish games come between her and Chuck. Even worse, she actually hurt Chuck! Emotionally, of course. The episode starts out with Blair dreaming. Blair always dreams in classic movies. This dream was in reference to All About Eve, and she played Bette Davis. It was declared that Vanessa was the chosen one, whatever that means, and Blair wakes up violently. Blair wakes up next to Chuck *heart eyes* and he assures her that she will one day get her reign back and not to worry about people that are beneath her. Blair’s head is riddled with the thought of giving the Freshmen speech at NYU.

Meanwhile, in Brooklyn, Vanessa is seeking the approval of her activist mother and is determined to impress her with her Freshmen speech at NYU. Hmm, two people can’t give the same speech… Unless you’re Melania Trump. *cough cough* Anyways, when Blair finds out that someone else is giving the Freshmen speech she goes crazy and obviously seeks to destroy whoever this person may be. Poor B, just wait until she finds out it’s Vanessa, she’s going to flip.

Blair has a particular kind of crazy in her eye when she finds out Vanessa Abrams is giving the Freshmen speech instead of her. But, Vanessa is tired of Blair’s shenanigans and in other words tells her to “F Off.” I think Vanessa deserves to give the speech because she is doing it for a more noble cause than Blair. Vanessa wants to win the love of her mother. Blair just wants to win.

Blair continues to squirm her way up to the top and is determined to bribe and blackmail whoever she needs to to get what she wants. Including Chuck. This does not sit well with me because obviously Chuck is my favorite between the two, and unlike Blair, he will admit when he is wrong. He’s so much better than her. Blair really hurts Chuck this time. She used him to get what she wanted and when he finds out what she did he confronts her. He explains to her that he can’t believe she manipulated him like that. He feels betrayed and degraded because the people Blair usually manipulates, she has no respect for. Poor Chuck. I was really mad at Blair when I saw this. I just want to give Chuck a hug!
