'Gossip Girl' Couple: Blair & Dan Have No Passion, Expert Says

Tue, April 17, 2012 3:43pm EDT by Nicole Karlis 94 Comments

Blair and Dan may have an intellectual connection, but one important ingredient for a successful relationship is definitely missing! One expert weighs in on what’s really going on behind Dair’s door.

Every Monday I keep hoping that something will go wrong with Blair (Leighton Meester) and Dan (Penn Badgley), but the complete opposite always happens.

Their relationship is getting stronger and stronger each episode. Grr! But there is one thing missing that Blair definitely had with ex-boyfriend Chuck (Ed Westwick) — la pasion! And according to body language expert Linda Talley, the lack of passion is extremely evident even in their most romantic moments — like their kiss on the steps of the Met.

“With Dan, they are kissing, eyes closed but not very passionate. She’s touching his lapels but is not connecting with his body. Besides her lips and hands, no other body parts are touching,” Linda Talley tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “If someone were in love, I would expect to see more connection. Dan has his hands in his pockets so he is not reaching out for Blair. This may be just a hello/goodbye kiss with no passion associated.”

Hmm! Blair and Chuck had a relationship FULL of passion! Hopefully, maybe, Blair will soon realize what she’s missing from her life — passion — and she’ll accept Chuck’s love.

What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Will Chuck and Blair get together at the end of season 5? Vote and weigh in below.

I can’t wait to laugh when Blair chucks Dan for Chuck.

We’ll see! You said the same thing before, Dair will never happen and you know what? Dair is on, dair is a official couple, Blair chooses Dan over Chuck. Blair is happy with Dan! Deal with it!

I didn’t say squat before.

Just prepare some tissues for when Blair rips Dan’s heart out. It’s gonna be delicious. :)<3

you chair are ridiculous!!! aaahahha fat laugh!! even if b would hurted d at the end of the season, d would be the winner…you’ll see!!!!!!

Last time I checked, we weren’t the ones crying. We’re just disagreeing with the view that Dan and Blair don’t have chemistry. I’m just thankful to be on the side that doesn’t suffer from butt-hurt.

Share this comment at

Really because I’m pretty sure some crazy Dair fans threatened physical violence on the author of this article, not to mention insulted her repeatedly.

Freaking hypocrites. You guys make me laugh so hard.

Loony toons.

Body language expert?

YOU DO REALIZE THEY’RE ACTING, RIGHT? TAKING DIRECTION… FROM A DIRECTOR… TELLING THEM WHAT TO DO

ALSO, IDK IF YOU MISSED THAT PART WHEN BLAIR PULLED DOWN THE ZIPPER ON DAN’S PANTS AND THEN KISSED HIS HEART?
BECAUSE
UM
YEAH

Share this comment at

She pulled his zipper down? Holly mother of jesus, who would’ve thought Blair would be so daring and kinky. Zipping down a guys pants to have sex, oh my Gosh, not even on HBO!! And with your comment you’re proving that they are directed to look passion-less. LMAO

I’m sorry you haven’t gotten any limo action since season 1, but there’s really no need to take out your sexual frustrations on Dair shippers.

Share this comment at

Unlike you fruit loops, we are all aware that Chuck and Blair are FICTIONAL, therefore I have never gotten action in the back of the limo (LOL idiot) and please, don’t concern yourself with my sexual frustrations or lack thereof. I’m good.

I always find it rather hilarious when a supposed “expert” is just some bitter Chair fan who cannot handle the fact that Dan and Blair are together and happily so. This person is a biased moron! There are many fans out there who enjoy this couple and believe they have amazing chemistry. They are also the only reason some people are even watching the show. Everyone just needs to grow up and get over it. Dair are amazing and have amazing chemistry and I for one hope they don’t go back to boring, repetative, predictable Chuck and Blair!

so damn accurate!

If Nicole was a Dair fan or even a Nair fan, you chairs you’ll insult her like you do on twitter with the writers and doing it worse then dairs

Share this comment at

No if that was the case we would be insulting Kristen and Ausiello. We don’t and yet Dair fans actually did here, you guys are really sick

Share this comment at

Don’t take it personally, Nicole.

Dair fans know their time is limited. Dair pretty much sank the show. The ratings are abysmal, the viewers hate Dair, as seen repeatedly on Facebook and Twitter, hell even the writer of the books, the creator of the characters, hates Dair.

They are just scared and sad. Poor things.

Share this comment at

Not the viewers hate dairs just chairios, I already talk abour ratings, arguments invalid plus Norbuk & writers said they don’t care about ratings, TT and blackmail like boycotting the show
the author of GG is not a writers, don’t care abour her opinion, she doesn’t write the show and the show is not at all like the book or you want Chuck being gay?

Go back to school and learn how to spell and punctuate, and then maybe I will listen to your psychotic rant.

But probably not. Crazy Ban fans.

Share this comment at

don’t care, I’m not in school or doing/writting something important! If you don’t like that, don’t read my post bye

Share this comment at

Don’t care about Cecily’s opinion yet Ban fans were being rude to her. And twitter search and you’ll see that the casual viewers don’t like Ban.

Share this comment at

Some Dair fans like 10% when 95% of chairios insult writers/producers, call Blair bad names, boycott the show so hum not the same at all and on twitter I saw on twitter chairios hate and dair love and some people who now watch the show because they like Dan & Blair together… so it’s just what you want to see

Share this comment at

Lol!!! That’s because Dair fans are only like 10% of the audience. While if you have not noticed the mayority of the people watching at chair fans! Argue what you wish but dair is not very popular..not just here but many other sites.

Share this comment at

uh?? the opinion of the actual creator of gossip does matter?? she created every single on of these characters!!! if she feels Blair and Dan have no chemistry, and im sure she knows them the best.

Share this comment at

haha chairios you are worst with you vandetta against writers & Norbuck… and your Chair Factory so stop, you already the craziest & pathetic one! Yes, it’s fictional so why hiring an “expert” because she analyzes Penn & Leighton acting skills and not a real couple…

Share this comment at

Oh my gosh, you guys are nuts.

Everyone knows that Dair fans started the stupid Chair factory. So pathetic and lame.

Share this comment at

Oh please chair want to think it’s from Dair but we are not pathetic for doing that! don’t be ashamed of your crappy chairios friends! And please stop using the word “everyone” (there & viewers) gosh!

I love how everyone hates Dan and Blair together. They are hated so much on Facebook and all over Twitter. Now the media is joining in.

They go back and forth between boring me to tears and grossing me out. Thank goodness they will be over soon. Like Dan is any contender for Chuck. Bwahahaha!

Share this comment at

Poor little fictionals being offended totally equals offending real people. Seriously, why don’t you go to the UN and ask for them to open a Fictional Characters Rights office?

Share this comment at

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Nicole I love this and agree. D and B have no chemistry.

Share this comment at

ourlittlenugget, your comments is funny when Chair fans insult all the writers & producers because Dair is on and boycott the show, insult Penn & Leighton’s acting skills, call bad names on Blair… hypocrisy much?!

And oh stop with the ratings arguments, it’s invalid! The ratings were down since season 3

Share this comment at

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Get a grip.

Share this comment at

Exactly, and Dair fans seem to have a problem that their couple is so terrible it killed the show

Share this comment at

APPLAUSE PLEASE

Share this comment at

Ratings went down ever since Safran wanted to make Dan front and centre, stealing screentime from the characters that the viewers wanted to watch. If you don’t believe me, check how the ratings FALL for every Dan-centric episode.

As for feedback for the writers, that’s what their twitter account is for! Just as they are willing to take in all the positive feedback, they also need to acknowledge there is negative feedback – and ALOT of it.

Go back to your Banner love and enjoy it while it lasts, it’s coming to an end in a few eps, so why waste your time here?

You know what’s funny? That all of the haters below, wanting to insult Nicole and call her delusional, pathetic, etc..

Hey, pot. Meet kettle, you freaking lunatics.

Here’s an idea for you. GET A LIFE.

IT’S NOT REAL, WACK JOBS.

Nicole, I love you girl! Keep on keepin’ on with your bad self.

What’s even funnier is that all of the crazy, delusional, scary replies below are probably by the same two or three people. So pathetic.

Hi Nicole, how cute of you to try and have a bit of fun with the current situation. Ignore the extremists, everyone knows that the show is not what it used to be, ratings are dismal at best & Blair has generally disconnected with the general audience.

I am sure you have a great life and I KNOW you do not deserve threats of violence against you.

Nicole, you need help.

You’re effin ridiculous, get a life Nicole.

you’re the worst, so-called ‘journalist’ i have ever seen.
even a child would write a better article. or a less judgmental.

Share this comment at

whenever someone says they would choose chuck over dan i wanna laugh in their faces.

but in your case, nicole, a punch would be way better.
your daily ‘will chuck and blair get back together’ poll is annoying.

Share this comment at

OMG, You are threatening violence against a real person. After you Dair fans scream abuse about a fictional couple you do this? You guys are gross.

Go ,Nicole!

Share this comment at

Does it surprise you though? They defend a fictional person’s well being with their lives but have no problem bullying people all over the wed.

Share this comment at

dear god. i can not even. you’re such a frikken joke. your little ‘expert’ was probably paid and isnt even a doctor or sth.
if she is, you should consider taking some therapy sessions because woman you need help

also, a fcking chuck and blair poll each week? thanks, BUT NO THANKS. ITS ENOUGH. stop it, you’re making such a fool out of yourself. you should be a grown woman for fckssake, and you act like a spoiled little 12 year old brat.

Nicole definitely is sick

Thanks for the laugh.

Maybe the expert could advise you a therapist Nicole Karlis, you need it!

These are Tv characters! But just like everything else things change and that whats Chuck has done, Changed, he doesnt hang on to the past he is moving forward , he has proven he can survive with out Blair and TBH Im happy about it, Chuck deserves much better. Its funny that everyone accuses Chuck ( a fictional character) of hanging on to the past but those said people are doing the same thing.

On another note Fan wars are getting stupid people these are fictional characters, the actors have real lives. Kristen thank you for the article!

Totally Chair for the win, but still…all you’re analysing is the way Leighton kisses Penn for the camera. They probably don’t look comfortable because they’re not used to it and haven’t been kissing each other very long. Ed and Leighton have been doing it for seasons, which is why they look more comfortable together in their scenes.

Share this comment at

It’s called acting for a reason though. Do you think you get a job and you automatically get along with the person who’s playing your love interest? Penn and Leighton have known each other for years, they actually were pretty close during S2, they did photoshoots for the show. So I don’t think it’s because they aren’t used to each other. It’s just because they have no chemistry. Plain and Simple.

Share this comment at

I’m not a Dair shipper but I do think they have chemistry. They just don’t have ANY sexual chemistry which makes the intimate scenes really awkward and almost forced.

Share this comment at

It’s not just the sexual scenes though. It’s all scenes since they’ve became a couple. They had comedic chemistry but I think forcing them into a romantic relationship has destroyed that.

Next time bring a Psychiatrist and have him judge Chuck. He would tell you that Chuck is so afraid to face his future that he always hangs on to his past to avoid it. Or maybe call a domestic abuse expert who will tell you that Chuck has all the signs of a chronic drunkard abuser. Or call a voice analyst maybe who will tell you the reason why Chuck speaks in whispers and constantly moving his head is because he is a psychopath who is afraid of himself.

Hey guess what. This show is FAKE. FICTIONAL. NOT REAL.

And, b-t-dubs, Chuck has more than paid for his past indiscretions. Dan, however, just cruises on by in life without every have any consequences for his actions.

Chuck >>>>> Dan all day.

i bet this isnt even a real psychatrist, she has no dr. degree and nothing. screw this website. SO BAD

A Dair fan just commented on Nicole deserving a punch. Your fanbase is gross as hell

Chuck, this fictional character is already seeing a fictional psychologist and is actually making progress, thank you very much.

You know that these are real people right? They’re just characters in a TV show and Leighton Meester isn’t dating either Penn Badgley or Ed Westwick in real life. I like Gossip Girl. It’s a fun show, but wow, are people getting ridiculous over who Blair dates. TV show characters. These people have real lives when they leave work.
