GOSSIP GIRLS: RANT 2

Ok, I know I've already ranted abut Gossip Girls but over the long shutdown from work, I've actually had to watch the Christmas episode. There were so many plot lines I couldn't keep track of everything but basically every one knows that Blair is a conniving, scheming(sp) bitch, so why does everyone want to know her? I don't get it. And then I saw the ecommercials for the new episode and its like where do these people get their writers from? It sounds like someone was reading a few too many Mario Puzo books. "Everyone keeps their mouth shut and no one gets hurt". Give me a break! How can people watch this crap??
