Dan & Blair should have stayed friends
I really didn’t like Blair and Dan together. Their romance felt random and out of place, especially after they'd spent so much time building a solid friendship. I enjoyed seeing them build a friendship after spending so much time hating each other. It showed Blair’s character development and that she genuinely has depth and enjoys different things. They had such a unique dynamic when they went from enemies to friends, and I thought that was a really great storyline. But then, for that to suddenly turn romantic, it just ruined it. Not every male and female lead in a show needs to date!!!!!!!! I think their relationship took away from the depth of their friendship. A genuine platonic male and female friendship is what the show NEEDED. Everyone dated everyone on this show and it would’ve been nice for that to not happen for once. A strong platonic relationship between a boy and girl would have been refreshing to watch, especially when theirs was becoming so strong. It was pretty obvious they weren’t going to be the endgame couple, so their romantic involvement felt like a waste of time and energy and completely throwing away the friendship they had. Plus, it was hard to get past the fact that Blair and Serena had already shared Nate, and then Blair was going to end up with Serena's first love? Blair and Serena were bestfriends yet shared TWO guys. That whole dynamic was way too weird and felt forced. It just felt like unnecessary drama that ultimately didn’t add anything to the story. They could’ve had a great, lasting platonic friendship, but the romance was definitely a misstep.
