Gossip Girl - Does Blair Belong with Chuck or Nate?
Whatever terms you use (Bluck, Chair, Nair or Blate), every Gossip Girl has an opinion on Blair’s one true pairing, so in the tradition of our previous Lost, House and Smallville no love debates, we’re determining once and for all who belongs with whom.
How does this work? Well, we’re giving the floor over to the fans, with two partisan arguments submitted by each side. Take a look at the statements for Chuck-Blair and Nate-Blair, and then it’s your turn to make the call in our Gossip Girl Love Debate poll.
Resolved, That Blair Waldorf Belongs with Chuck Bass…
Alice, for Team Bluck:
There is something Old Hollywood about Chuck and Blair. They have the raw passion of Burton and Taylor, the sly recognition of Bogart and Bacall, the comradeship of Tracy and Hepburn. There is a touch of classic literature to their coupling—Cathy and Heathcliff, Beatrice and Benedict, Scarlett and Rhett. Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester are magnificent apart, but they are magic together. There is a sense of the intuitive to their acting partnership. They are completely in sync with one another; completely entranced by the others’ presence when they embody those characters. That kind of chemistry is a rare bird indeed. It cannot be taught, and it cannot be contrived.
Something alchemic happened when Chuck and Blair fell in love. Two people so determined to control and exert authority would never submit to any other, but the prospect of relinquishing that control is always a delicious impossibility.
They can never pretend again with each other and that is what they love and hate the most. There is no one else who does that for them in either of their lives; no one else who refuses to look at them until they take off their respective masks. For me, that is real love. Their being together or not together is not even the point. They belong to each other, and that will be true regardless of the years or the distance or the people between them.
