I’m happy to present our March FOTM interview (sorry it’s so delayed) with Courtney, an amazing member of the CB spot and a great friend of mine! She’s a true CB ファン and definitely deserves this honor. Now let’s get on to the interview!
Congratulations Courtney! あなた totally deserve this! How does it feel to be Chair FOTM?
Thanks, J! It feels amazing. My 愛 for Chair has skyrocketed in the last few months, and it’s such an honor to be considered worthy of this タイトル によって people who are definitely bigger ファン than I.
1. Tell us something new about yourself.
Hmm. I live in Alaska, in case anyone didn’t know that. God, I am so boring, I honestly have nothing left to put here. Haha.
2. When did あなた start watching Gossip Girl, and why?
I started watching with the Pilot, because I had been a ファン of the 本 for about a 年 before the 表示する came out. And when I saw the promos for it, I was intrigued.
3. When did あなた start shipping Chair?
I didn’t start shipping them till 2x08. Season 1 I was completely indifferent to them, and in 2x01 I started to really like them, then によって 2x08 I was a verified shipper!
4. Where does Chair fall on your 一覧 of お気に入り GG couples? On your 一覧 of お気に入り couples in general?
Currently, they are my お気に入り GG couple. The 表示する has pretty much screwed every other couple up for me, so they’re kinda the only couple I ship on the 表示する still. And they’re third on my お気に入り ships of all time, after Jack&Kate and Ron&Hermione.
5. Why do あなた ship Chair? What makes them different (and better) from other couples?
I could seriously write an essay about this, but I’ll try making it short and sweet. There are a lot of reasons I ship Chair. They do angst better than anyone, but they're also hilarious. They bring something to the 表示する that no other couple has even come close to having. Most importantly, they never bore me. No matter what they are doing, they are always entertaining. Plus, they are meant to be! Why would I waste my time shipping any other couple endgame besides them?
6. What’s your お気に入り thing about Chuck?
What isn’t my お気に入り thing about Chuck?! Besides his gorgeousness, I 愛 that he’s always trying to be a better person. He has these glorious daddy/mommy issues that make for the best storylines, and I 愛 seeing him trying to go above the faults of his parents.
7. What’s your お気に入り thing about Blair?
Her loyalty to the people closest to her. She’s always there for the people she cares about when they really need her.
8. What do あなた think has もっと見る to do with Chair’s perfection- Ed and Leighton, または the writers/producers?
As much as I’d like to put it all on LeightEd because of how pissed I am at the writers right now, I have to go with the writers on this one. LeightEd definitely help with their amazing acting, but their epic, angsty storylines would be nonexistent without those writers.
9. Your favorite:
Season: Season 2, hands down.
Angst: “Maybe in the future.” 2x08
Fluff: “Are あなた okay?” “I am now.” 3x02
Hot scene: ピアノ sex!
Funny scene: “This ends here.” “How about over there?” 4x08
Eyesex: 2x07, when Blair tells Chuck she’ll have sex with him if he destroys Vanessa.
Dance: Snowflake Ball dance, 2x12.
10. This または that:
Chuck または Blair? CHUCK BASS!
Ed または Leighton? Ed.
Seventeen Candles または Pret-a-Poor J? Pret-a-Poor J.
“Maybe in the future” scene または Train Station Scene? “Maybe in the Future”
“The 次 time あなた forget you’re Blair Waldorf…” または “I 愛 あなた so much it consumes me?” I 愛 あなた so much it consumes me.
Blair’s first ILY または Chuck’s ILY? Chuck’s ILY.
Limo sex または ピアノ sex? ピアノ sex!
Nair または Dair? I hate you. Uhhhhhh, I guess Nair. :/
11. お気に入り per season:
Season 1:
Best cute scene: “Chuck ベース is a romantic, who knew?” 1x18
Best hot scene: Limo sex.
Best quote: Chuck’s best man speech in 1x18.
Best angst: The bar scene in 1x13
Best episode: Seventeen Candles.
Scene/moment/anything that pissed あなた off: Blair getting it on with Nate after running away from Chuck. Chuck’s face when he sees them is enough for me to jump through the TV screen and tackle Blair.
Season 2:
Best cute scene: Chuck’s ILY!
Best hot scene: Ending scene in 2x07.
Best quote: “I 愛 あなた so much, it consumes me…” 2x25
Best angst: This season was so full of great angst, but I’ll go with the “Maybe in the future.” scene again.
Best episode: 2x08. Still my お気に入り Chair/GG episode of all time.
Scene/moment/anything that pissed あなた off: Hmm. The stupid Chuck/Blair/Nate 愛 三角形 reactivated. Kill me now.
Season 3:
Best cute scene: Cuddling in bed, 3x02.
Best hot scene: “It’s been three hours, I missed you.” 3x01
Best quote: “The 次 time あなた forget you’re Blair Waldorf, remember I’m Chuck ベース and I 愛 you.” <3
Best angst: I’m a sucker for the ending Chair scene in 3x17. It’s so painful, but so good.
Best episode: Hmm, I’ll go with 3x12.
Scene/moment/anything that pissed あなた off: Uh, everything in 3x18. That episode was ridiculously bad, and the Chair stuff made me want to scream. It’s the only time ever I can say that I didn’t like them.
Season 4:
Best cute scene: The ending scene in 4x08.
Best hot scene: ピアノ sex!!!
Best quote: “The only thing that’s ever been real is me and you.” 4x20
Best angst: The goodbye scene in 4x22
Best episode: 4x09, for sure.
Scene/moment/anything that pissed あなた off: Putting aside the whole Ban thing, I’ll go with Blair telling Chuck that she needed to be ‘independent’ and ‘by herself’, and now is wanting to be a princess. She keeps bitching about Chuck needing to grow up, um, look in the mirror Blair.
12. Is there anything about Chair’s story that あなた would change?
Um, I would have made this season their rebuilding season. So that season 5 they could have been together and planning their wedding. The 秒 half of season 4 has been awful, and if they would have had Chair stuff in it, it wouldn’t have sucked so bad. Just sayin’.
13. What’s the craziest thing you’ve heard a Chair hater say? How would あなた like to respond to them?
Hardest 質問 ever. They say some crazy stuff. I guess I’ll go with the time people were freaking out that the ピアノ Sex was rape. Maybe they would know that wasn’t rape if they stopped spending all their time bullying people online about a fictional couple and got laid.
14. Chuck’s actions in 4x20 have garnered a lot of heat. What are your thoughts on it?
Ohh, I have lots of thoughts on it. First and foremost, that was NOT domestic abuse. I don’t know how many times I and the writers have to say it, before people get their heads out of their ass’s and understand this. I will say that it was a lot もっと見る intense than what I was expecting it to be, but I think people are blowing it WAY out of proportion. Obviously, what Chuck did was wrong. There is absolutely no denying that. But people are 芝居 like he actually planned on hitting her/raping her. Are あなた serious? After he got her on the couch, and she told him to stop, what did he do? He stopped. And I don’t know if these haters have ever been around the male species, but a lot of them have some rage problems. And considering all the shit Chuck has had happen to him, him being angry/in rage is completely understandable. Which is exactly what Josh 2.0 発言しました when he explained why Chuck punched the glass, he was in rage. And it wasn’t with Blair, it was with himself. Also, people really need to understand that if Josh 発言しました that Chuck wouldn’t hurt Blair, then he wouldn’t hurt Blair. Chuck isn’t living a magical life that we aren’t seeing. Chuck is just Ed Westwick 読書 lines off a piece of paper that some writers wrote him to say. So he has no other feelings/intentions that the writers don’t know about. Which is why I’m pretty certain they know もっと見る about Chuck then some teenagers online.
Ugh, this fandom frustrates me so much.
15. あなた can "borrow" one scene from each one of the Gossip Girl couples. Which one do あなた choose?
Serena and Nate: コート closet sex, 3x13.
Dan and Serena: The morning after on the beach, 2x02.
Nate and Jenny: Fashion 表示する kiss.
Blair and Nate: Sex scene in 1x10.
Nate and Vanessa: Going to the opera together, how cute would that be?
Carter and Serena: Gosh, I don’t even know. I can’t remember any of their scenes.
Chuck and Serena: When Serena’s pretending to be her mom and Chuck is getting turned on によって it, 4x12. lol
Chuck and Jenny: I can’t give anything of theirs away. Sorry.
Chuck and Vanessa: On the stairs at Jenny’s party, talking about their amazing sexual chemistry, 2x20.
Dan and Blair (yes, あなた must choose!): UGHHH. I guess I’ll give them the 1x04 scene, because it would be nice for Blair to talk to Chuck about her Mommy issues.
16. Is the CB spot your お気に入り spot on Fanpop?
Indeed.
17. What did あなた think of the finale? What are your hopes for Chair in s5?
I liked the finale. They were so happy dancing and of course I loved the sexytime. The goodbye scene was one of the few times I've cried during GG. I seriously wanted to jump through the TV screen and cuddle Chuck. I am disappointed that Blair went off with the Prince, I thought that since Chuck was growing up and letting her go, that she would let go of the Princess crap. Guess not.
I really think that after the finale, it will give a really nice fresh start for CB in season 5. They can rebuild from here and hopefully whatever happens with the pregnancy storyline will bring them closer than ever before. I want them engaged によって the end of the season as well. But I'm not holding my breath または anything.
18. Ban endgame または GG being cancelled without a resolution to Chair’s story and everyone hating Chuck? あなた have to choose, otherwise Ban get endgame によって default.
The latter. I don’t care if everyone is hating Chuck, because I will still 愛 him and that’s all that matters. And I’d rather no resolution for Chair’s story, because then I can just pretend that they get together later.
19. What’s your お気に入り quote about Chair (something someone 発言しました on the show, something Ed または Leighton said, etc)?
There are so many flawless 名言・格言 about them out there, but I’m just gonna go with this one. “"I'm Chuck Bass. The 愛 of her life. Anyone else is just a waste of time." It’s so blunt and to the point. And I think after he 発言しました it everyone just kinda went ‘duh’.
20. How sure are あなた about Chair’s endgame status?
Like 99.999% sure. I mean, c’mon.
21. We’ve come to the end of this interview- anything else あなた want to say?
Thank あなた so much for doing this, J. I know you’ve been so busy with school, but あなた still made an amazing interview. And to everyone else, stay strong, CHAIR IS ENDGAME BITCHES.
Congratulations Courtney! I'm so glad I got to interview you, and sorry for putting it up so late!
