GOSSIP GIRL “The Treasure of Serena Madre” Review (Season 3 Episode 11)

What did you think of last night’s episode of Gossip Girl, ‘The Treasure of Serena Madre’?

I can’t think of a better Thanksgiving recipe for disaster than the guest list for Rufus and Lily’s dinner party. What a perfect storm. I don’t even know where to begin with the dinner to let me come back to that in a minute. This Gossip Girl Thanksgiving I was most thankful for Blair – she is so awesome!

Here are my favorite Blair quotes of the night:

Blair to Serena ‘then what are you exactly, an 18 year old blonde coincidence’?
Dorota to Blair ‘it’s private’. Blair to Dorota: ‘The INS tip-line isn’t’.
Blair to Jenny: ‘Where are you dragging me, haven’t you heard of the `whisper aside’?

Okay, so now let’s talk about some of the events that transpired at dinner. What does everyone think about Trip and Serena? I was so happy when Nate outed them and they split up for a second. FINALLY I thought, Serena does the right thing. I really wanted to see her with Nate or on her way to Paris with Blair at the end. Why does nothing turn out like I want it to? Even though Trip is pretty cute (in a smug, preppy sort of way) he’s married!!! Ug, Serena.

Also, does anyone have any guesses as to what was in the letter from Serena’s dad? I’m at a loss here but I can only guess it juicy. I wonder when Rufus is going to realize how evil Lily is? She always seems to be hiding some big dark secret (ex: having a son with Rufus). I can’t wait to see what Maureen does with this letter.

Out of all the other plots going on, I was most interested in the possibly of Dorota being pregnant. I hope there are good things in store for her. She might be the only good person on the whole show. So, since this was such a great episode tonight, I can’t wait to hear what you thought of it, so drop me a line and let me know your take. Talk to you next week. XoXo!
