I'm sorry that this time we don't have the same point of view: i actually didn't think it was weird for BLAIR to fall for a guy she just met! (sometimes it happens like that with love at first sight) I think the fact that BEN put her in her place is what made BLAIR fall for him.
Even JO says "Blair likes him too!"

And to me BEN could have easily passed for a college guy (he didn't look 30 come on!).
If you consider all the guys BLAIR's been dating: to me CLIFF and TED looked more like 30, and at the time she was only a high school kid and a college freshman lol!:eek

But i'm surely glad MRS G wasn't around: it would have been just like an episode like the 'Girls school' (except they were a little older and had boys) having her running like crazy and making facial expressions ha ha ha! and yelling "GIRLS AND BOYS!"
I think the only good thing about that episode is that it made me like Natalie more.

Well they didn't do FL justice. For the love of God they had spontaneous hurricanes popping out of the sky!

And then the next morning there's zero damage because at the last minute the spontaneous storm decided not to hit where the girls are partying.

Yet the 65 year old handyman that Blair had the hots for is boarding up windows all over the place.

It sucked a lot more than just QUICHE!!

OMG you lied! I went to IMDB in shock and looked it up--

Blair is wealthier than ever, after building a hotel empire with her husband, Tad. But she suspects he is having an affair

Still sad if she has a cheating husband though. And I don't like that dorky name Tad. You'd think she'd have hooked her up with Mr. Geritol from Gone With the Wind, but he probably died of old age by then.

OMG they're saying in the IMDB reviews on that reunion movie that Natalie looked 50 years old lol. Did she really look that bad?! More than one review is saying this. I have to look for it on you tube now to see for myself.

cfr!!

I'm sorry, I thought you meant on the series! I personally don't count that reunion movie since it's not part of the series (unlike the Paris and Aussie movies, which aired "with" the show)

But yeah, she had married some dude by then. As for Natalie, well, not looking 50 really (though there's NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT cfr!!!), but maybe she didn't look her best?

'80sSitcoms doesn't consider the movie canonical. (I, however, do. It had an actual cafeteria scene and they mentioned Sue Ann).
