I agree I thought Blair was kind of a ***** for doing that.

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?

What does this mean?

Justwondering · 01-01-2007, 07:40 PM

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.
