The most amazing thing about Chuck Bass kissing a guy wasn't the kiss itself, but when he acknowledges that it wasn't the first time he kissed a dude. Wowza! Chuck's power increased tenfold now that he can seduce both sexes.

Aside from Chuck kissing a guy, last night's episode was pretty whack. There was way too much Vanessa. Remember when she was just some weird little girl who worked in a gallery and we would only see her when Dan used to whine about how rich Serena is. Ah, those were the days! Along with all that Vanessa, the other atrocity is that everyone is wearing purple and asymmetrical tops. It's like the lavender version of the swine flu.
