Gossip Girl: You just got vetoed.

Monday's are semi-bearable, thanks to the promise of post-work Gossip Girl (or XOXO as one of the rooms calls it). While I love our XOXO Monday night ritual (even one of the rooms' BFs regularly gets in on the action) it's sometimes hard to catch everything that goes on underneath the running commentary from the peanut gallery.

It doesn't help that one of the rooms is a law student who loves to point out the improbability of every single tiny little detail of every show. And let's face it - there are a lot of them.

Which brings me to the reason that Tuesday is way better than Monday: Daily Intel's Gossip Girl re-cap, which scores the fake vs. real every episode, indexing the probability that this shit could actually happen.

Favorite excerpts from today's edition:

"The outfits of the Constance mean girls whose names we refuse to remember were puzzling this episode. Each of their school uniforms was accessorized monochromatically: One was wearing all purple, one was in blue, and one was in green. We're too old to understand, but we think this must have something to do with which sex acts they're willing to perform. So Plus 5 for that."

"D: '[Paul Hoffman is] a handsome guy, he's a sophomore, he and Vanessa have a lot in common.'

N: 'He's a douche.' Plus 3."

"Serena walks out of the country house with her baggage and no car in sight, just planning to 'find a cab' in the middle of bumfuck Nassau County. God, she's amazing. Plus 5."

Additional insights from OneC (our apt.):

"Instructing your driver to 'take you to Nassau County' is the equivalent of saying, 'take me to Long Island.' OK, now what??"

"Me and the rooms: 'That girl (Eric's sidekick) totally won her role on GG in a contest.'

Reply from rooms' BF: 'No way, she's totally legit! Didn't you see Spanglish?;" 

"If Willa had been involved in that threesome instead of Hilary Duff, we could have re-named Dan Vanilla."

I can't wait for next week Tuesday...
