Best and Worst Couple of Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl were a guy instead of a TV show,tumblr_nmhwnfQZ9p1qzsxa3o1_500 he’d be the really sexy guy you completely fall for immediately, slowly realize he’s the worst and constantly disappointing you, yet keep hooking up with him sporadically for the next five years.
