Its A Wonderful Lie Review

Every Tuesday, the previous night's Gossip Girl is picked apart by New York Magazine and assigned scores according to its amusing "reality index."bBelow are some highlights (and lowlights) from the magazine's analysis of "It's Wonderful Lie."

•Lexi's Brooklyn walking outfit consists of a hooker cheetah jacket, purple tights, a short pleated skirt, and black booties. Plus 3. We hate her so hard.
•Jenny and Nate's excuses not to date one another are always that the other one isn't into it. That's not a reason. Vanessa would see this and go bonkers. Minus 2.
• Blair: "I have depths that [Chuck] will never plumb." Not true, but great, gross imagery. Plus 2.
•Serena van der Woodsen is holding out on sex? Minus 2. That would have been the first weapon deployed in the Getting Aaron Rose to Commit Arsenal.
• Why is the party in the same place that the Kiss on the Lips party was? Minus 1.

•OMG, if Bart dies, does that make Lily a billionaire? Or better, does it make Chuck a billionaire? Either way, Plus 20.
•Vanessa Abrams kind of looked skinny and great in that outfit. Plus 5, because the only reason the girls at the ball would have made such a spectacle of seeing through it briefly would be because they were all jealous.
•You're not who I thought you were," Nate says to Jenny. What is he talking about? Sometimes we think he thinks he's on that other show where they all live in North Carolina. These are vintage One Tree Hill quotes. Minus 2.
•Plus 20 for the slightly uglier, ten times more hilarious Blair and Chuck knockoffs, and the fact that they are referred to as "Beta Chuck" and "New Blair."
•Dan Humphrey wouldn't want the four of them to go to the dance together. He's too awkward. That kind of setup would make his brow knit together so far his eyeballs would have to burrow into his brain. Minus 2.
