hey everyone...does anyone else seem to think that blair's character was made to be more naive and air-headed as the years went on? this sort of bugs me, i don't know why. but if you watch the first season eps compared to the later seasons, she seems to be more clueless and dim-witted. ya know?

Mr. Bradley: I keep forgetting that you are a burgeoning young woman.

Natalie: I thought we were all burgeons.

the same thing happened with Denise on Cosby Show (who originally was supposed to be the "smart" daughter) and Chrissy on Three's Company (watch her during the 1979-1980 season with Don Knotts and look how stupid she was compared to how sophisticated she was during the first 2 or 3 seasons).

I honestly preferred Blair as an airhead (her in the "Into The Frying Pan" episode when she was trying to hammer a nail was HYSTERICAL) to the "b*tch" from seasons 1 and 2.

I don't know if clueless but she was always somewhat naive even in season 2 but she more b***** then. I personally like her that way. She's hysterical when she's being goofy.

Good call! She really was like a total know-it-all type in the early years. I can't think of a good way to decribe how she was later. I guess she was a little like... flighty maybe. Whatever it was, she was just like funnier and in my opinion had a better personality. Like, if I knew her in real life I wouldn't have been able to stand her in like the first season and even into the other Eastland years. But I definitely could've dealt with her in the later years. I never really thought of it like that. I mean, I always knew Blair was more of a b***h in the early years, but she definitely changed for the better, although it is fun to watch her the other way.
