Thanks to Kristin, I started watching Gossip Girl on Netflix this summer. Oh, the drama! I have been totally and completely sucked in, and I just can't get enough. I'm bordering on obsessed. In fact, the other night, I'm pretty sure these characters invaded my dreams.
While falling asleep one evening, I was actually trying to think about all of the different dating combinations of these characters. It's pretty complicated. I considered making a chart. I realized that this would be 1) almost impossible 2) a sign that I have some kind of problem.
I'm currently on season three, and there are a total of six seasons. When all of my other shows kick back in this fall, I don't know how I'll manage it all.....lol
Little did I know what it entailed. And just in case you don't, here's how it works. A bunch of people (16 this season) are selected to live in isolation in the Big Brother house. Each week, they compete to become the Head of Household (or HOH). The HOH nominates two other house guests to be evicted. The nominated house guests, the HOH, and three other house guests get a chance to compete for the Power of Veto (POV). Anyone who wins the veto can take someone off "the block" (aka remove a nominee) or keep the nominations the same. Once the final nominations are set, the house guests vote someone out. The last two house guests left at the end receive votes from a jury of evicted house guests. One will win the grand prize of $500,000, and the other wins $50,000.
They are doing the HOH a little differently this season. They compete for two HOH spots. Each HOH nominates two house guests, and their nominees compete in the Battle of the Block competition. Whichever team wins, dethrones the HOH who nominated them, and they are no longer nominees. Things then proceed to the veto as described above.
I don't know why I love it so much, but I do. It's especially fun because it gives me some sort of TV to look forward to three nights a week.
What are you watching this summer??

Season 6 of GG is a lot shorter than the others, so that made me sad. However, as you move through the seasons, you'll see that you won't need a chart: they all end up with each other anyway. (sorry, spoiler alert, but I won't tell you how!)
Ok I need to just start watching Gossip Girl! I hear so much all about it!
A couple summers ago I found Gossip Girl too. Oh man, I flew through it! lol I've been catching up on Parenthood this summer and pining away for when The Vampire Diaries starts back up.
I've just finished S5 of Gossip Girl. I think a brief version of the dating chart would go like this: everyone dates everyone else!
