Well, it was fun while it lasted. The couples are switching partners for the summer and the storylines are getting more and more predictable, but I’ll still watch if only for one reason - I absolutely love these two together:

Since the writers’ strike began (The Office, miss you <3), I started catching up on shows I never watched but wanted to. Okay, just Gossip Girl. At first, I was like, Oh no, not another Laguna Beach-inspired replacement for The OC. Then I started hearing good things about the wardrobe. So far, I’m impressed with the production, love their choice of music, the cast surprisingly un-annoying, and yes, beautiful, and their clothes are flyyy. Anything goes from Payless shoes to Marc by Marc Jacobs dresses. And I love that the styles range from of-the-moment trendy to step-back-in-time iconic.

I’m hooked, needless to say.
