Question Blair and Jo

What is everyone's favorite Blair and Jo moment? Whether it is them going at each others throat or getting as sentimental as possible while they are around each other, what is your favorite moment? I know there are so many, but just name a few!

------------------
*************************
Hopper: You know I am really a shy kind of guy,but I have been watching you from across the cabin,and I said to myself,"Hopper don't let this one slip away!"

Jo: You know I have been watching you too.You have a lot to be shy about!
*************************
Beverly Ann: Let's see. It's tomorrow in Africa so if I want to talk to Edna today then I should have called her yesterday...
*************************
Natalie: It's a busy day for me. I have to go down to the newspaper office, get a lung transplant...
*************************
Beverly Ann: I wonder what's wrong with Jo.

Blair: Today or in general?
*************************
Blair: Where have you been?

Jo: At the library.

Blair: Oh, reading "Dumbo", how cute.

Jo: I don't have to read "Dumbo." I bunk right next to her.

Then look on the shelf
There might be a clue
Maybe in a book."

I love the Jo/Blair sentimental moments. Not that I remember much. My fave was when Jo hugged Blair in the moving to cali episode. That was the first time I ever saw them hug. Awww!

One of their best moments was when Jo was waiting for Blair at the diner after a visit to New York. They both discovered that they had little in common with their old friends and it was the first time I could see that they were truly becoming friends.

Other favorite moments included when Jo was so supportive after Blair's father got into legal trouble, when Jo moved to CA, and I'm still waiting to see tonight's eps.

Oh, I also forgot when the girls started at Langley and Jo was the popular one and no one liked Blair and Jo came up and invited Blair to her party.

Those are good, but also one of the first ones I watched was when Jo needed Blair's scholarship and at the end they admit they're friends, it was so cute. And thre talk they have when they're studying for finals was great also. And for funny moments, I'll have to go with when they're doing the newscast, that was hilarious. And when Blair comes home all messed up after her Helen of Troi contest. Love that too.

Michele's favorite moment is one of mine too.
I also like the part in 'Double Standard' at the end, it's kinda funny cause Jo is wearing a dress and Blair is wearing Jo's jean jacket. Well, it was the first time they had ever shown that they were truely friends, but they even said, 'Let's not tell anyone okay'. The part in the 'Finals' episode is good . And of course it's fun to see them bitching at each other too.

Ooops! I forgot to post my favorite moments!
I haven't seen all the episodes but these are my favorite moments from the ones I HAVE seen:

In the episode "Where's Poppa" when Blair's dad gets in legal trouble and Jo goes around like it's no big deal but when Blair needs her help then she is there.

I liked the 'hug' at the end of the episode where Jo left for California.

When they were studying for their finals, and they talked with each other about college.


There were SO many funny moments I won't even begin!

Good choices all around! Here's a couple more:

"Magnificent Obsession" when Jo sits watch with Blair overnight to make sure she doesn't call the abusive heel she had been dating.
Blair: "But if I'm not perfect... and that's a *BIG* if, then it wasn't his place to say so."
Jo: "You're right. It's my place to say so."

and then in "All or Nothing" when new Langley Regent Jo gets over zealous and loses sight of her goals it's Blair who sets her back on course.
Blair:"The Jo I know would've gotten them the scholarship money even if it meant looking at some stupid scoreboard."

I love both sides of them, when they are going at each others throats but I also love the moments that really show they care for each other. Even though all my favorite moments have pretty much been named, here I go anyway.

-I liked the scene in New Girl Part I when they are in their dorm room and Jo convinces Blair to go to the Chug-a-lug bar with her.

- The hospital scene between Jo and Blair tonight

- I liked the end of the episode "Double Standard." Like other people have said it is really the first time you see that deep down they like each other.

-When Jo is waiting at the diner in NYc for Blair

-Jo and Blair's hug before Jo moves to CA.

-I liked the scene between Jo and Blair at the end of the scholorship episode.

These are just some of my favorites. Between the wise cracks they throw at each other and the sentimental moments, there are just too many to count.

I forgot to mention this in my previous post. Yes I enjoy all of the moments where you see that Jo and Blair are truly friends. there was one moment that I kind of liked but caught me WAY off guard. It occured in the episode where Jo is in California and Blair is the first to come. When Jo is introducing Blair to the guy that she is seeing, she says something along the lines of, "This is my best friend Blair." Like I said, that comment threw me off guard because I think that was the first time she ever used the phrase "best friend" when it came to their friendship.

Yeah when I first heard her say that I thought I had completely heard wrong. Like you, I also rewound a few times to make sure I heard right. Like I said, i never expected that phrase to be used to describe their friendship. I would have liked to have at least seen some kind of reaction out of Blair as if she couldn't believe that Jo had said she was her best friend. But unless I blinked or something when it occured, it looked like Blair heard those words every day.

U guys I felt the same way. It surprised the hell atta me when I heard Jo say that. Never wouldve expected it but it was about time though. They had to wait till the shows last season to have Jo acknowledge that Blair was her best friend. O well, better late than never right!
