Didn't see anything for this, so here goes:

Episode 3.3: The Lost Boy
Written by Robert Hull; directed by Jean DeSegonzac

Chuck and Blair take their feistiness to a new venue - Sotheby's auction house - where each is bidding against the other on an item of personal significance. Serena has her suspicions Carter may have returned to his old habits. Georgina revives her pursuit of Dan, and Vanessa suspects something isn't kosher with Scott.

I had a thread for this, but deleted it because no one is watching that show anymore. Don't bother, they don't give a s*it.

The Serena-dad bit's just annoying the heck outta me, though still not quite as much as that terrible actor who plays Nate. Brownie points however to Dan and Vanessa for being more tolerable then usual this season. The Blair, Georgina stuff was aces but we really need to have a dark, crazy arc, I think this show has the potential to go there and the cast can most certainly handle it (save for Nate actor); not asking for Nip/Tuck crazy, just a risky unexpected plot.

I watch. But, the first two episodes kind of bored me. I haven't seen the third one yet. I agree, this show could really use some crazy plot twist.

Still watching this show, and yes the first two eps were just the same same.

However, just for the two leads alone, I will definitely stick with this one.

90210 is surprisingly better...it's interesting, Josh and Stephanie really can't carry a show beyond one season. At least not a teen show because I hear Chuck is quite good. Season 1 Gossip Girl was amazing, and then...nothing.

I think that Nate's time has come. When he shows up, that's when you remember the guy exists, he's not even with the rest of the characters, even Eric and Jenny are on the background...

Nate is not needed at all.

These episodes have been a little bit boring, nothing compares to the horrible first episode of this season, but a little boring. They need to step it up...

And they're wasting JoAnna Garcia...

I don't even watch this show, but I heard Kevin Zegers (Transamerica) is joining the cast for a few episodes, I will be tuning in for that!

Episode 3.4: Dan de Fleurette
Guest stars: Hilary Duff, Tyra Banks
Written by John Stephens; directed by Mark Piznarski

Jenny the Queen Bee; she thinks it has a nice ring to it as a new school year begins at Constance Billard. But why is Blair major league-jonesing to help out at the place where she graduated from? At NYU, Vanessa gets assigned a roommate she least expects - a Hollywood movie star looking to have a relatively normal college education.

Hilary Duff was actually good and fit in well...I agree about Nate, Jenny and Eric, they should be reduced to guest star status. Although I think Eric already is, Lily's role should be increased though...she's Betty Draper 2009. Chace Crawford is just not good, I can't believe he and Blake Lively are the highest paid.

Really?! Where did you get it from?

The writing actually in the freshmen where blair rallies her troops at the end was actually ok, and the scene could have been dark if leighton meester could actually act.

This show would be worlds better if it was written and acted out as a dark comedy.

instead it's a hybrid of a bad soap and a fashion magazine. Tyra banks and hillary duff are awful actresses.

TV Guide when they printed star salaries, he and Blake make 75K, I believe it was. I think Jon Hamm makes that too.

Episode 3.5: Rufus Getting Married
Written by Leila Gerstein; directed by Ron Fortunato

Lily and Rufus move up their wedding day, unknowing to the fact something - or someone - is on the horizon ready to lay waste to it. Chuck uncovers Carter's secret. Georgina traps Dan and Vanessa into one of her schemes as Blair's intuition suspects there's something afoul with Bree and shares her concerns with Nate.

Episode 3.6: Enough About Eve
Written by Jake Coburn; directed by John Stephens

Vanessa is really desperate to earn her mom's approval. So she tag-teams with Blair to do the honor of delivering the freshman toast at NYU. But every favor with La Waldorf has a price. Dan takes Olivia to meet Rufus and Lily, which may not be one of his better ideas. Meanwhile, Serena and Nate team up to help Carter.

Hillary Duff was her usual awful self. And I'm sorry but the clothes they put her in are unflattering. Eric Daman's styling choices are usually off kilter, but this was not good.

Gina Torres voiced Vixen on Justice League Unlimited.

When does Hillary Duff leave? GG's writers are hilarious to cast her and Tyra Banks as Academy Award vying actresses! LOL!

Chuck kissed a guy! Great!

The acting is pretty terrible on this show, so it's really just a fashion spread. But Kelly Rutherford's actingn was good the previous ep when lily convinced her missing child to stay.

Episode 3.7: How to Succeed In Bassness
Written by Sara Nemeth Goodman; directed by Joe Lazarov

Chuck's branching out into the hotel business and coaxes Serena to help him get the word out. But that won't stop Blair from assisting on the sly. Dan gets nervous after watching one of Olivia's infamous sex scenes with her co-star and (then) boyfriend. Jenny is forced to choose between Eric and her new role as Queen Bee.

Episode 3.8: The Grandfather, Part 2
Written by Lenn Rosenfield; directed by Mark Piznarski

Olivia guest stars on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’, says something she later regrets and then tries to hide it from Dan. With election day on the horizon, Nate suspects his grandfather will do anything, and we do mean *anything* to get Trip into Congress.

I don't know what to think about this show. The first season was brilliant, the second one was a big let-dow and now the third is beyond awful. It's not even a guilty pleasure anymore. I have a feeling it will get a fourth season, but it's going to be their last. On the other hand I have 90210 which is absolutely amazing! This is the show to watch.

Episode 3.9: They Shoot Humphreys, Don’t They?
Written by Amands Lasher; directed by Alison McLean

Jenny’s got big dreams for a 16 year-old; she wants to extend her Queen Bee dominion only to the entire upper east side. What’s the catalyst for this change of plan? She’s got the hottest escort for the annual Cotillion dinner/dance.

And there's the little matter of the number 3 tonight that has the Parents Television Council's nuts in a knot.
