I love Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes of shows. There is always a crisis and somehow it gets resolved in that hour. And in that time you might just laugh and cry many times. I just hate that in Canada we have to wait for another month and a half before we get to see the Thanksgiving episodes from the States. But we still appreciate it.
Episode eleven of the season is called, Treasure of Serena Madre, and it goes like this: It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving on the Upper East Side if there wasn’t a serving or two of some major drama for the holiday. Blair (Leighton Meester) suspects her mom (guest star Margaret Colin) has been keeping a big secret from her, but it turns out to be something else entirely. Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) is supposed to spend Thanksgiving with her parents, but has a fight with her mom (guest star Gina Torres) and shows up on Dan’s (Penn Badgley) doorstep. Rufus (Matthew Settle) learns that Lily (Kelly Rutherford) has been lying to him about her mother, Cece (guest star Caroline Lagerfelt). Chuck (Ed Westwick) tells Nate (Chace Crawford) that he has some potentially damaging information about one of their friends. Jenny (Taylor Momsen) learns that Eric (Connor Paolo) was behind her very public embarrassment at Cotillion and can’t pass up a chance to get even. Serena (Blake Lively) is put in a very awkward position when her mother invites Trip (guest star Aaron Tveit) and Maureen (guest star Holley Fain) to join them for Thanksgiving dinner..
Vampire Diaries is taking over every where! I talk to a lot of people about the show on Twitter and I’ve found that there are people out there that love the show just as much as I do. Who am I kidding? I just love talking about Ian Somerhalder. I am Team Damon through and through.
The tenth episode of the season is called, Turning Point, and it goes like this: After reading the journal left by one of the Gilbert ancestors, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is inspired to return to his hobby of sketching fantasy creatures, a talent he had abandoned when his parents died. Much to the surprise of their friends, Matt (Zach Roerig) and Caroline (Candice Accola) continue to hang out together. When Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) tells Damon (Ian Somerhalder) there has been another attack, he offers to track down the killer and learns a startling piece of information about the town’s founding families. Alaric (guest star Matt Davis) steps in to help during an awkward scene with Jeremy, Tyler (Michael Trevino) and Mayor Lockwood (guest star Rob Pralgo). Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Elena (Nina Dobrev) come to a new understanding, but everything changes when Elena accidentally makes a devastating discovery.
I thought there was no way that Vampire Diaries could get any better. It already is one of my favorite shows right now. And now I find out that Sean Faris will be joining the cast too. (He is one of the hot guys in the movie, Never Back Down.)
Sean will play Ben a ex-football star who is now a bartender at the Mystic Grill. There is a rumored romance between him and one of the girl’s on the show. I think that would be perfect. I want him to stick around so that there will be three hot guys to always be staring at. Once again, the CW has done an amazing casting job!
I have to say that Gossip Girl has really brought the guest stars this year, Hilary Duff, Jimmy Fallon, Lady Gaga and one of my personal favorites, Kevin Zegers. I was going to write about Kevin before…he starred in the Air Bud movies and he grew up in Canada…right near where I lived in Ontario. We all know he has to be cool then!
The tenth episode of the season is called, The Last Days of Disco Suck, and it goes like this…Hoping to impress the elitist theater kids at NYU, Blair (Leighton Meester) sets her sights on landing a private concert with the hottest musical performer of the year, Lady Gaga. Dan (Penn Badgley) and Olivia (guest star Hilary Duff) sign up to write and star in a school play, based on an idea by Blair and directed by Vanessa (Jessica Szohr). With Blair out of the picture, Serena (Blake Lively) turns to Nate (Chace Crawford) to help her get through a difficult situation. As a favor to Chuck (Ed Westwick), Jenny (Taylor Momsen) agrees to hang out with Damien (guest star Kevin Zegers), the son of an ambassador who is staying at Chuck’s hotel, but the experience proves to be a lot more intriguing than she expected.
I am obsessed with Vampire Diaries lately. I constantly talk about being Team Damon and how Ian Somerhalder is so good in the show. I saw this webclip for the next episode and I had to write about it. It shows how creepy and amazing Damon really is. I hope he doesn’t become the good guy. The bad guy looks good on him.
Ian Somerhalder, who everyone knows by now since it’s all I talk about, plays Damon on Vampire Diaries. I can never say enough about him! He was at the the launch party for the Verizon Wireless Droid in NYC on Friday night and he also appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Ian reveals that Boone is coming back to Lost. How exciting is that? I can’t wait to see him back.
