Who is your favorite boyfriend of Blair's?

Mine is Cliff.

Wawwie · 09-17-2021, 08:30 PM

I liked her brief pairing with Roy, the delivery boy in the episode "Legacy."
I liked when Jo said to her: "You got a date with a nerd now. You happy"?

Blair was trying to punish herself because of her bigot grandfather.

RetroGuy2000 · 09-18-2021, 02:43 AM

I voted for Cliff. Never understood why they broke up.

I liked Steve the Delivery Boy until the Van Incident.

Roger is Nancy's guy, despite the Baryshnikov tickets.

Jason was a brief fling, no more important than Harrison or some others.

I voted Cliff, he's my favorite. Casey was good but Blair's relationship with Cliff was better

valentina warner · 09-19-2021, 07:43 PM

I cannot believe any of you guys: what about BEN???? (he is actually the only guy who had chemistry with BLAIR lol!)

CLIFF and TED were goody two shoes, and
CASEY was kind of mean and careless the way he broke up with BLAIR during JO's wedding!

BEN on the other hand knew exactly how to handle BLAIR, and besides: the fact that she was a rich snob and he was a poor handyman made them a perfect couple! (it's the old classic rich girl meets poor boy and they both fall madly in love!)

Comments?

Valentina, I don't remember Ben. Who is he?

It's time for a rewatch

BEN was the handyman BLAIR fell for: the episode is called 'Gone with the wind' from season 6.

I just watched Gone with the Wind. Ben was okay, but he didn't have anything in common with Blair, including where he lived: he was in Florida, she lived in Peekskill.

Plus Ben went to Alaska for 2 years to do a job and Blair was just supposed to sit at home and wait. I liked Ben but Blair isn’t the type that can go without a date for very long let alone 2 years.

Are you guys kidding or what??? BEN may have lived in Alaska, but he is the only one who had the greatest chemistry/dynamic with BLAIR: if you watched 'Gone with the wind', the way they hit it off and their dialogues, you'll notice that it was 100 % opposites attracts lol!

It looks like i am definitely on the minority here, but like i said before: CLIFF and TED were two goody shoes, and too boring to entertain someone like BLAIR lol!

We all know that BLAIR likes money and rich men, but she also enjoys a challenge, otherwise she wouldn't have been friends for so long with JO: she may have been vain and snob, but she knew the people that were truly valuable, and the episode 'Gone with the wind' shows us, that the rid blond snobby guy who was after her bored her to death and she was trying to escape from him!

BEN on the other knew how to handle a rich spoiled girl like BLAIR (just as JO did) and the attraction was quite evident!

But i guess each to its own or different strokes for different folks...

So true! Yeah, Blair doesn't even go one weekend without a date. The idea that she'd have feelings for Ben after a two-year wait isn't very realistic.

(BTW, happy almost 3,000th post, JoPol!)

But how long is that going to last? She wants caviar, he wants pizza. She likes the East Coast, he moves to Alaska. That relationship was doomed.

I still prefer BEN to all the other guys + he was so handsome too!

CASEY was hot as well, but in my opinion CLIFF looks too much All American lol! (no offence to any of you guys)

PS: in my Fanfiction world, BLAIR ends up with BEN; JO with the rich blond guy from season 5 episode 'Just my bill' (whatever his name was) and not with that weirdo RICK!
NAT with SNAKE is good, and TOOTIE with JEFF....

No offense taken by this American guy!

The "Just My Bill" guy was Bill.

Bill would have been better than Random Husband Rick.
