I love Blair, she was my favorite character in the show, but Serena was right. Blair was very insecure and she used those insecurities to not only guilt those close to her into doing what she wanted, but she used them as excuses in her petty and vengeful vendettas. Take this episode for example: she's willing to risk her mother's reputation and her multi million dollar business just because she didn't get what she wanted. It's a true testament to Leighton Meester's performance that, despite all of Blair's flaws, she was always the best part of the show.
Just adding on to what everyone is saying but even if Blair is insecure, she is that way because of the way her life has been. Her first love (Nate) slept with her best friend who left town without letting her know. On top of all of that, she had to suffer through her parent's divorce alone whereas her Dad moved to be with his boyfriend (Roman) in Paris. And on top of all of this she has that eating disorder because her mom gave such negative feedback to her daughter.
I'm sorry but Serena could have that same excuse. Her father disappeared from her life at a very young. Her mother treated her husbands as more of a priority than she did her own children. Serenas mother clearly didn't care that she was being sexually exploited at a young age. The fact that she just let go of Chcuks attempt of raping her says that this isn't unusual behavior for her to put up with. She had to deal with her brother, her only real family, trying to take his own life. She has had it far harder than the spoiled, beloved by both her parents, Blair Waldorf. The same Blair who cried that no one cared that she was Blair Waldorf. Like Blair there are people dealing with actual problems. So the fact that she is insecure is all on her. Lot's of people are insecure. You have to deal with it instead of bringing everyone else down. She's insecure and an awful person.
Mini toast wow geez bit harsh on Blair, yea serena had problems but it’s not fair to say Blair didn’t have to deal with “actual problems”. In the first season and especially the first few episodes we see elenor not being the best mother either, always making her feel so insecure, linking to her becoming bulmic ,not that I’m saying it’s her fault, serena did just take the limelight a lot e.g with Nate and her cheating and him pining over her over and over , her mother choosing serena at times over Blair, Yale only focusing on serena and the list goes on. Not that I am saying it is all serenas fault, it’s not, Blair did treat her badly at times. But the way serena acted in this scene was quite harsh. And I think they both have their owns problems, not fair just to say serena did ,even some would say hers were worse, as Blair did have her problems aswel
A lot of people relate to Blair and I do as well, but I can also relate to having a friend that just hates seeing you shine and let’s their insecurities dominate. I fully agree with Serena here, regardless of their past.
Blair/Leighton Meester's character is what made me watch the show. Blair was intelligent- not an airhead. She had eating struggles and an overbearing mother that I think a lot of women can relate to. She also had the best friend who could win a race she didn't even enter and the frustrations associated with that can be felt by most which is why I preferred Blair over Serena - I still loved Serena and Blake Lively's performance but not how shallow Serena was and selfish
It’s not serena’s Fault Blair struggles with that and Serena shouldn’t have to hold back because Blair struggles. If anything Blair is selfish for getting angry when Serena gets something she doesn’t.
Yeah no I'm sorry. Serena's life has been objectively harder than Blair's. Her absentee father, her neglectful mother, her suicidal brother. The fact that she was sexually exploited from a young age. Serena just doesn't wear her damage like warrior wounds the way Blair does. Blair doesn't deal with her problems in a healthy way. She just needs to bring down everyone else to feel good. And thats no one faults but hers.
Well said what Serena said to Blair. she should not have to hold herself for her or anyone, if Blair truly is her friend she would support her to be who she is and not who Blair wants her to.
I love this! It's very very true Serena HAS ALWAYS been giving in to Blaire desires in almost everything. Lol. Even Serena private life, blaire also interrupt and mess it up a lot. It's not Serena fault to have natural beauty! It's also not her fault that Nate loves her! Real true friends should always support each other. U can feel insecure but you don't let that ruined the friendship instead you gotta face it and deal with it!
And I’m guessing you used to or still act like Blair here who thinks she’s 6 years old throwing tantrums because she is not getting what she wants. Pathetic
i truly do understand where Blair’s anger is coming from, i actually do have that one friend who was always first, and it is annoying, but where Blair goes wrong is trying to sabotage Serena’s success. she was willing to ruin her moms show as long as Serena didn’t go on stage, team Blair or not that’s down right cruel. Serena ALWAYS had to hold herself back for Blair, and Blair has always done things to put herself out there but Serena can’t because she is gonna outshine Blair and that’s the truth. Blair also didn’t know how to control her insecurities so she ended up thinking Serena could control them and then it became a huge mess. As a friend, no matter what, you should always be happy for your friends success, and i’m not saying some of the stuff Serena did was okay, but i’m just saying Blair was a good friend but shouldn’t have made Serena hold herself back, and if the only way they could be happy with each other was if they’re were all these rules, then this friendship really shouldn’t be happening.
Sure it can be annoying when someone just gets everything handed to them but some people can't help it and life is unfair and you should just accept that. I would never want a friend like Blair. Such a insecure, unsupportive, mean, bitchy, selfish person, no thanks. I like her ambition though. Serena wasn't perfect either but she was a much better person than Blair.
@@Christine-ws8kq Blair isn’t ambitious tho. Her goal in life was to be a powerful woman. That is not a job description. What does she want to be powerful in, sports,music,fashion,academics or business? She’s living in dreamland and trying to force everyone else to make her dreamland their reality
Oh and and top of all of that, Blair is an only-sibling. If she didn't have Serena, she really didn't have anyone. Popularity is her way of 'letting out' all her feelings. Some people vent through art, music, song, etc. but Queen B best suits Blair.
I’d say it depends on the season tbh, the first seasons Blair looks better cause she looks more grown. Serena still looks like a teenager, but after it just depended on their hair/makeup/outfit.. both are gorgeous for sure
Um...it IS kind of her fault. I mean, you don't ditch friend's traditions and you don't do things you know will piss them off. Serena KNEW it would piss her off. I mean if my best friend ditched one of our traditions for someone else...I'd be mad too.
@AliceCullensAwesome It doesn't seem that serena starts it all the time it seems that serena gets something blair wants and blair ends up crossing the line trying to get her way. Remember that blair is the one that plays games and she plays them dirty. It's not really serena's fault that everyone loves her. Serena is prettier, sexier and nicer than blair but not as glamorous, smart or as driven as blair. I think the main factor why blair isn't as popular is because she isn't as approachable.
I watched this show for Blair/Leighton Meester. Serena/Blake Lively seemed to alternate between being wooden and being a mess. I think her hair got her attention, but she’s so milquetoast.
@@CR7_THEGOAT777 Oh, no worries on that as I watch Blake get by as a nepo baby who is promoting as movie about DV as a romcom, and Leighton is still doing acting jobs while actively volunteering to feed the homeless. It’s glorious to watch the downfall of someone who made a choice to get married on a plantation.
@@annebirdsong6181 please just be realistic ok. Whether Blake is a nepo baby or whatever the fact remains that she is an A list celebrity while Leighton is about C-D. Get over it
thanks for the answer but I think shove it is the last song in the previous episode where serena acts like queen of constance and blair is upset. could you please tell me the song in this episode?
@CrosbytheFirst That's true! It's not fear if serena can't be a little mean for once... But everybody knows Blair as a bitch and Serena as a nice girl so it's choking to see the contrary....I think. Hope I was understandable ^^
I'm ashamed to say this cause I'm a total Blair fan but I think Serena looks prettier than Blair in this scene. But every other time, Blair just nails the beauty.
@@weirdnoise11 I agree that blair is a horrible person, the whole show itself revolves around these characters being nasty and heinous to one another. But blair resonates with audiences better than serena because she doesnt rely solely on looks, beauty, and money to get what she wants. She kind of embodies the determined career driven youthful woman of that generation who is driven by ambition and long term success as opposed to serena who doesnt have a care or plan in the world for her life and just does whatever whenever and never cares about anything. Both of them, yes, are shitty people who make dumb choices and are too deep in their own egos and wealth to become better people, but blair at least goes the extra mile to prove her worth by being more head strong and intelligent, both in and out of academia, in their chaotic world. Though I might be wrong, just an observation
@@jessicalyons6577 garbage. Blair isn’t ambitious nor does she work hard. She plots and schemes and idiots claim she works hard? She wants to be a “powerful woman” which is not a job description. What does she want to be powerful in: sports,music,fashion,academics or business. Smh. She lives in a dream that she is trying to force everyone to make as their reality. Pathetic
That's just Blair. Blair pulls off being bitch whereas Serena... She's better off nice. Otherwise, I don't like her. Serena did that knowing it'd piss Blair off. She started it.

Same
Doesn’t really matter. Objectively Serena is prettier
But Serena was just being serena, don't get me wrong I love Blair and all her bitchyness, but this is none of Serena's fault.
Anyone else notice in Dan's story instead of Chuck Bass he names his character Charlie Trout? pahahaha
