Nicole Says: Chuck Bass Go Find Blair Waldorf, YOUR Runaway Bride

Even though Blair is now married to an evil Prince and has run off with a boy from Brooklyn, I think she’s closer than EVER to finally being with her true love, Chuck Bass.
Blair’s royal fairytale turned into her absolute worst nightmare on the Jan. 30 episode of Gossip Girl. She was humiliated in front of the entire world and had to torture herself by not resisting being whisked away by Chuck, only to end up being schemed by her own husband (yes, HUSBAND).

'Gossip Girl' Recap: Blair Waldorf Is Arrested, Plus More 'OMG' Moments

Blair’s bachelorette party took a 180 when she went from dancing on tables to dancing into jail on the Jan. 23rd episode!
Oh Blair, I must say, there’s nobody who could get arrested as elegantly as you did!

Nicole Says: If Blair Decides To Marry Louis, 'Gossip Girl' is OVER

I’m extremely disappointed with how the Jan. 16 episode of ‘Gossip Girl’ panned out. I hate to say it, but if Blair marries Louis the show is totally OVER.
On the Jan. 16 episode of Gossip Girl, we took a trip into the future,  skipping over the hospital-drama and landing right into the upcoming weeks before Blair’s (Leighton Meester) wedding. And much to the dismay of Chair fans — it looks like Queen B has made her final decision to marry Prince Louis (Hugo Becker).

'Gossip Girl' Recap: Chuck & Blair Get In A Car Crash After An Emotional Reunion, Plus More 'OMG' Moments

It looks like Blair survived the car crash — but will her baby and the LOVE of her life Chuck Bass? Sadly, We’re going to have to wait until Jan. 16 to find out…
Tonight — Dec. 5 — marks an iconic chapter in Gossip Girl history. After years of affairs, fighting and just plain royal pains Chuck (Ed Westwick) and Blair (Leighton Meester) finally made the decision to spend the rest of their lives together. But now Chuck may not have the rest of his life to live.

'Gossip Girl' Recap: Chuck Confesses He Still Loves Blair, Plus More 'OMG' Moments

Chuck says he still loves Blair; the two go to couples therapy; Charlie is almost outed for the hundredth time — and much more on the Nov. 28 episode of ‘Gossip Girl’
We all know how difficult it’s been for Chuck to drop the “L” bomb to Blair in the past — it was the root of their first break-up after all. So when Chuck admits to his best friend that he can’t imagine the day when he’s NOT in love with her, it’s a pretty big step in the right Chairection.

'Gossip Girl' Recap: Blair Tells Prince Louis She Needs Space, Plus 4 More 'OMG' Moments

Charlie is almost exposed, Gossip Girl’s sources are leaked, Dan is still in love with Blair and a much needed Chair moment all round out the Nov. 21 episode of ‘Gossip Girl’
We are nearing the much-anticipated Blair and Prince Louis’ wedding scene, where I’m hoping (just as much as the next girl) she leaves the alter and runs into the arms of Chuck Bass (Ed Westwick). And after tonight’s episode, I’m liking how Blair’s fairytale is unraveling into an inescapable Chairytale.

'Gossip Girl' Recap: Chuck Apologizes To Blair For Hurting Her, Plus More 'OMG' Moments!

Chuck reveals he’s not over Blair, Serena loses her job and Nate and Charlie kiss on the Nov. 7 episode of ‘Gossip Girl!’


Even though it looks like Louis (Hugo Becker) really is the father of Blair’s baby (which is a total bummer!), it’s safe to say Chuck (Ed Westwisk) and Blair’s romance can — AND WILL — be saved.
