I hate it when kids make fun of eachother.I hate Blair's "Burn-Book".Sometimes I just hate how cruel Blair is and I hate that A-hole at-that-time boyfriend,Dink.I love how Jo offers to have dinner with him.Jo is so great she is now my favorite character.She never laughs about other people in this episode but at that girl they said has whiskers.

Blair was pretty cruel in this episode. However, in the end she did the right thing though.

Yeah, she did. :)

Was Carl the boy with the acne? Or is this a different episode I'm talking about?

When Blair revealed Natalie to be #10, and the boy Natalie likes then tried to let her down gently, I cannot say that Blair actually "intended" any harm or hurt toward Natalie. Yes, it was thoughtless, and Blair should have known better -- that Natalie, ultimately, would be embarassed.

Recall though, it was Natalie who decided to shamelessly use one person to get back at another. Carl "Rocky" Price just happened to be the sharpest thorn Natalie could find to stick in Blair's side. Natalie's intent was to embarass Blair by setting her up for a dinner with an utterly hideous looking guy.

Understand that I am not excusing Blair's reaction to Carl Price. She was mean and no charmer as well. It took Mrs. Garrett's lecture in order to humble her.

What strikes me as ironic here is that Natalie herself is not blessed with beauty, and yet, it is she who is so completely thoughtless concerning the self esteem of Carl Price. How would Carl feel when he discovers that he is merely the insult of a joke played on Blair?

I'd say that Natalie's behavior is worse than Blair's reaction in this episode. Anyone agree?

I'd say that both Natalie and Blair's behavior is pretty bad in this episode. I agree that Natalie is the one who deliberately tried to hurt Blair through using Carl (and hurting him) and I also agree that though Blair was thoughtless in revealing Natalie's crush she didn't do it out of a place of maliciousness. Insensitive but not evil.

But Blair's reaction to Carl (until she learns her lesson at the end) is rather mean. She might not have gone out of her way to intentionally hurt him, but she does sort of act as if he is a lepper throughout the show, so I'm not sure if that is much better. She does a lot of talking behind his back, and about other people too for that matter.

But then again even Tootie is shown to be having a good ole time with the slam book--happily laughing at people.

*gasp* And I thought I had seen all of the FOL episodes... guess I was wrong! This is actually one episode I have not seen. Can anyone upload it for me or tell me how to get it? (other than Kazaa or buying the DVD serts)

This was a really good episode, Blair was very cruel for having that "burn book." Natalie did not help the cause by fooling Carl into thinking Blair wanted to have dinner with him.

I was bothered by the fact that Blair finally decided to have dinner with Carl because she felt sorry for him and did not want him to like Jo more then her. I liked how Carl let Blair know that he isn't a charity case and she should not have dinner with him just because she felt bad for him. I think Blair learned a lesson at the end when she talked to Carl and she realized he shared the same interests as her (Museum of Modern Art). She learned that people should not be judged by how they look but who they are. :)

:clap for Carl!

Blair could be a snob sometimes and she was pretty nasty in this one.

Blair likely would have went out with Carl if it was not for her reputation at stake. Sure Blair was she was a bit cold with Carl. But they where laughing in the end. And Blair is still hot so there...

I remember this episode. I was surprised at Tootie and Natalie especially they were no prizes themselves. LOL. I felt bad for Carl. I though Jo was so cool for stepping in and agreeing to have dinner with him. I remember Blair taking the box from Jo insisting that Blair have dinner with Carl. I know how it is to be an outcast so that made me feel bad for the dude. I'm glad Blair did the right thing in the end and looked in her heart.

Was this the lightest episode of the whole series? This show always seemed to be so heavy.
