Dorota and Vanya at number 1 is so real!! also btw Jonathan and Eric do reconnect!! Jonathan has a cameo in the last episode of the reboot and he refers to Eric as his husband
literally agreed with every single one except dan & serena. they were definitely so adorable in s1 and kinda s2 but i feel like so much changed with both of their characters they weren’t fit for each other in the end. also everyone literally forgets that they were step siblings for like 3 whole seasons and shared a brother
at the risk of annoying people with my comment, but i think people still ranking chuck and blair high in 2024 is wild. most people bring up him trading her for a hotel but forget about when he manhandled her then almost punched her in the face. like idk how we can like a ship that got literally physically abusive.
I think with how the show downplays his abuse, we all gloss over it. But there are real issues with them... issues that Chuck never redeemed himself for
Because normal people can distinguish reality from fiction and enjoy the show without making too much fuss. If you’re really worried about abused women, volunteer instead of complaining about a couple in a fake show 12 years ago.
@@So-wb8wrI agree that it is wild how people overlook abuse in real life and in fiction. If young girls grow up watching these types of relationships then it’s going to affect the POV of what a healthy relationship is. People learn a lot within fiction- and you can definitely disagree and think Chuck was redeemable, but to suggest that just because it’s fiction doesn’t mean it’s worth talking about. That’s just wrong lol
My depressing rant done. My favorite couple will always be dan and blair. Don’t at me. Yes, all the couples are pretty toxic, but out of those, theirs seemed to be the healthiest. They were able to have an emotional, physical, and intellectual discussion. If they had problems they communicated and worked it out. How they ended this relationship made no sense to me. Italy seemed like something Blair would actually want. She can het inspiration for her clothing lines there. Her just going back to Chuck almost made no sense.
I see what you mean but at that point in the series what was most off-putting about their relationship to me was not even them per se but that every person of the main cast had been in a relationship with every other person of the main cast (or at least romantically involved). Maybe except for Chuck and Serena. 😅 it felt really excessive at the point to then pair Dan and Blair when we basically knew Blair was meant to end up with Chuck anyway. I think it was enough for Serena and Blair to "share" one partner in Nate which was also a point of friction between them for a long time.
@@anjad.3656 that makes sense. I can understand that. I got to admit that it is refreshing to see this take versus they were toxic because dan was gossip girl or chair is better. So thank you. To be honest, i pretend dan isn’t gossip girl.
She has been in love with chuck for 5 seasons, it actually made no sense that she started a relationship with Dan at this point of the story. before marring Louis, she made it clear that Chuck was the only one she really wanted. she was going to break up with the father of her child to be with chuck.. then she suddenly decide to try with Dan, only to go back to the one she really loved at the end. She also has never shown interest in dan even when they try to kiss in season 4, it was so unrealistic. I think the authors just wanted to take time and reunite balir and chuck only at the end of the season. Most of Blair decisions in season 5 had no sense. But I did like blair and dan as friends.
@@strangebutcute ok i get that. I feel it made no sense that she kept going back to him considering everything she went through. Being sold for a hotel. Broke up. Him practically hitting her after she tells him she is through. Him falling for other girls and being done with her games. Oh and him letting his father fall off the roof and getting arrested. I think I am mad at the writers for continuing with the relationship. I also felt their relationship wasn’t well developed. Again, maybe more on the writers. I think they developed the friendship of dan and blair more than chuck and blair’s relationship, but get why people don’t like them as a couple. In the end, I am going to ship what I want to ship.
Omg I am livingggg for your gossip girl videos just subscribed. But pleasee make a video about nates trauma because its obvious he had it the worst from the beginning out of everyone and no one talks about it!
Dan/Blair is a top couple for me, along with Nate/Jennie. Chuck is so toxic, even though Blair and Chuck had passion, they were toxic and SHE deserves to be loved and respected, which she could not get from Chuck.
I love Jenny but she did willingly have sex with chuck and then acts like he forced her to. That’s the part that I think gets mixed up. She went in the room with him knowing and he even asked her if she’s sure. Still like Jenny think she should have done more.
Nate's a sexy cardboard cut out that actual characters use to pad the run time and cause low stakes romantic drama. He only becomes a person when his evil drug addict dad comes around to traumatize him and his wild eyed mother
As I’m going through your list, Ivy and Rufus def needed to be at the bottom. Like for a whole season Rufus believed Ivy to be his niece. It’s weird now that he dates her in the later season. Also any relationship with an older person and younger person is def at the bottom. Nate and Sage, Ben and Serena, Tripp and Serena, etc.!
It was great when Dan and Blair became friends, but when did they become a couple? A real disaster. Contrary to what the fans say they are neither healthy nor pure or similar things. He kept lying to her to make her believe that all of her friends were bad, for example when her bachelorette party went wrong she blamed Chuck, then she ruined the relationship with her future husband, Making him turn into a monster and ruin his own life, and one of them blamed Chuck; then he blackmailed her, telling her they would never see each other again if she didn’t get together with him, She who was convinced that she had no one because she fell into the trap of Dan accepted. Too bad she didn’t love him, so he spent his time with Chuck, but anyway Dan already knew because he was spying on her, then he decided to force her to come with him for his summer job, then Dan not satisfied with his relationship with Blair sleeps with Serena. Then Blair leaves him, and he decides to publish a smear article about her in revenge to ruin her career. I really hope you’re joking when you say that you’d like to have a relationship like this.
My last one. The other two end couples for me are jenny and nate and georgina and her husband. Oh I forgot my other two favorites: dorota and her husband and elanor and her husband. I am so bad with names guys.
i watched gossip girl probably a year ago and am rewatching right now. i do not remember any of these relationships happening other than blair and dan 😭
I have heard that the only reason why jenny and nate was not a thing, is because nate’s actor is uncomfortable kissing jenny who was 14 15? At the time. He was 22 the. Which make sense
I totally agree with you on Lily and Rufus, they are perfect, and its such a shame they dont end up together.... And William like wtf he should not be with Lily. Nate and Ivy i even place that one higher, i loved them. Nate and Jenny start off really good, but than when Nate just sees a sister in Jenny and she wants to get him thats so bad, i dont like that. I knew you are gonna give the win to Dorothea and Vanya!!! They are truly perfect. Also you left out Lilys young love from the Vally episode. Btw i loved the video❤
Oh and i forgot. I loved Dan and Blair as friends, but i think their relationship was just bad. In my opinion they should have stay friends maybe have a one night stand or sth but not a long relationship... After them it was kind of forced that Blair went back to Chuck though i love them as and endgame
The best ships imo were: Rufus and Lily, Nate and Vanessa, Serena and Carter, Blair and Chuck (if he hadn't traded her with the hotel or been physically violent with her), and Dan with Georgina. I know so many people are gonna hate me for shipping Dan and Georgina. Still, if we saw his cunning and manipulative side (like when he wrote those chapters about each of the people in his life) earlier on, it would've made sense for him to be with Georgina, not Blair. Although I admit, I loved them as friends...until he manipulated things and Serena tricked him into sleeping with her and filmed it without his consent.
I’m at the very beginning of the video, and I have come to realize that almost all (or maybe even all) age-inappropriate couples were in s2. Like what was going on with the writers that year?
I adore Nate and Jenny as a couple for so many reasons. I have the same head canon that they reconnected at Dan and Serena’s wedding and are endgame (I legit might write a fanfic about it)
Sooooo I didn’t know lily and Williams ended up together bcuz the last scene is weird bcuz there’s a woman with will and stuff BUT if the actually ended up together, she did deserved him and he deserve her. Someone gets my point?
He might just have been there for Serena's wedding as her Dad, not lily's partner. But they sure made it look like they were back together I think? Which is extremely off-putting , given everything that happened, I would have cut out William either way and not even invited him to the wedding.
So I’ve just started the video and my guess is worst couple will be Trip & Maureen and best Lily & Rufus. Edit: so I was wrong about the worst, let’s see if I get nr. 1 correctly. Edit: ahhh, so close with the nr. 1 couple. I literally gasped when she put them on nr. 2. I was like ”who the hell if left?!?!?”
Ouch on Bart and Jack, the actors would have each been 47 and 31 in season 1. I like these videos but I always feel like a bit of research before filming would help 😅 x
It is interesting seeing how many women are seen as predators in this show because it is not as discussed as male predators. Don’t get me wrong, this is horrible and should not have been romanticized on the show, but am surprised at how many women acted as predators versus the men. This is one reason why men struggle to report what happened to them.
Yep it still is and was even more of a trope in media that it's "cool" for young guys to get laid by an attractive older woman. Very much the misandrist idea that men/older boys always want sex anyway and women couldn't be predators because they are the "weaker sex". I think people have/had an easier time seeing men as potential predators because of physical strength and only in recent years we have become more aware that the problem is vast power imbalances, not only physically but also age, maturity, finances, position in life etc
I feel like Lily ending up happily single in the finale would have been iconic!
Why?
@@zeenkosis finding her happiness with herself, instead of needing a man, would be a happy ending for her! She wasn’t ever really single.
Dorota and Vanya at number 1 is so real!! also btw Jonathan and Eric do reconnect!! Jonathan has a cameo in the last episode of the reboot and he refers to Eric as his husband
Oh shoot! Really?! I didn’t make it very far at all in the reboot so that makes me crazy happy.
the chokehold lily and rufus had on me as a kid was absolutely wild
The chokehold they still have on me is wild
literally agreed with every single one except dan & serena. they were definitely so adorable in s1 and kinda s2 but i feel like so much changed with both of their characters they weren’t fit for each other in the end. also everyone literally forgets that they were step siblings for like 3 whole seasons and shared a brother
Nate had chemistry with everyone, BUT !!! Nate and Jenny not being endgame showed me they feared success
Also a Nate and Jenny stan. We are a misunderstood group 😂
idk why ppl always hate on there relationship
at the risk of annoying people with my comment, but i think people still ranking chuck and blair high in 2024 is wild. most people bring up him trading her for a hotel but forget about when he manhandled her then almost punched her in the face. like idk how we can like a ship that got literally physically abusive.

Like what actors?
