I am waiting for the show to drop below one million too. I think this is due to Safran having it all in his hands, when Stephanie and the other Josh were working with him, things never got this bad. We got lows during S3 as well, but some episodes weren’t as bad (even if I like 2-3 episodes from this season. Amanda Lasher is still the best writer they have, imo)… I think I will keep the hope purely because I want to see where it all goes. Maybe I will watch the episodes days after they air and not live anymore, but I will still post C&B related things in the meanwhile. I guess this is just like last year where CB fans suffered the lack of scenes between them, and a certain OOCiness on both C&B parts. The second half is always a slap in the face. We’ve got some set reports for episode 5.19 few weeks ago, maybe those reports are true and things are going to get better after episode 17? I don’t know, I just feel as if I want to leave the show, but I can’t. I just want to know where the story will end. I will not support the show, but I will support Chuck and Blair. I think it’s important to still show we’re here and we are not enjoying some crap they’re giving us.
