* UnpleasableFanbase: Most fans wanted Lily to be with Rufus, rather than Bart. When [[McLeaned Robert John Burke left the show]] the fans got their wish. Now, a season later, they are complaining about how dull Lily and Rufus are together, and how Bart was so much better for and with her, and should never have been killed off.
** When Chuck and Blair took a season to get together, the fans complained the build-up was too long and they should be a couple. When they became a couple, the fans complained that they were being toned down and needed to go back to their season 2 dynamic. When they broke up in order to return to that exact dynamic, the fans complained that the writers had ruined everything and should have kept them together forever. And when they inevitably reunite, you can bet the fans will complain that Blair shouldn't have taken him back so soon. AAAHHHHHHH! Poor Josh Schwartz.
*** Although to be fair, that last part might be because of the extremely stupid way the writers went about breaking them up.
*** I don't think C+ B is an example of an unpleasable fanbase, but rather an ignored fanbase. The fans wanted them together long before they did get together, and the fans have always been specific about what they mainly want to see with them together - sexiness and the two scheming their way to the top together. When they got together we got none of that, which is what the fans complained about. It was never about the fans wanting them back to will they/won't they territory.

*** [[YourMileageMayVary Highly debatable]]. It seemed to this troper that she was acting out of concern for Chuck, not wanting him to be conned again like he was by his mother. Eva was hardly the saint Chuck made her out to be - he told her all her darkest secrets and she didn't tell him she was a hooker. Blair was right to be suspicious, and besides, Chuck was the one who ''chose'' to believe Blair over Eva.

* WhatAnIdiot: Serena spends months doing everything she can to get her father's attention. Most of it consists of getting paparazzi to take pictures of her partying like crazy, appearing topless and sleeping around. Then when her father does appear she doesn't want him to know about her wild past, and pretends like the craziest thing she's ever done is take part in a coco drinking contest. Only to Serena (and possibly Nate) could that make any logical sense.
* WhyWouldAnyoneTakeHimBack: Even the most die hard [[{{Fan Nickname}} Chair]] fans admit that what Chuck did to Blair in "Inglorious Bassterds" is pretty unforgivable.
** So from a narrative standpoint, the only way to ever credibly revive that relationship was to make Blair do something comparably loathesome to Chuck. Which she did, less than half a season later, in "Touch of Eva."
*** Although [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]]. A lot of fans don't see Blair's actions in this episode as being all that bad. She does seem to feel bad when she finds out [[spoiler:Eva left]] and her lack of trust regarding her makes perfect sense. The last time Chuck blindly put that much faith in someone he ended up losing everything, and [[spoiler:Eva ''had'' been lying to him all along about her past.]]
* WithFriendsLikeThese: Nate Archibald is definitely a strong candidate for Worst Friend Ever. He calls Chuck his best friend, but these are just some examples of how Nate treats him:
** Chuck sold Victrola in order to loan Nate's mother the money she needed to keep their house. Nate reacted like Chuck had committed a henious crime.
** After Bart's funeral Chuck disappeared for a month and returns suicidal. Instead of checking up on his so called best friend Nate decides to go hang with Vanessa.
** Nate starts dating Blair, knowing full well she's the only girl Chuck has ever loved. Then he goes to Chuck in full woe is me mode, whining about how Blair hasn't changed and how he doesn't like her personality. Then he freaks out whenever Chuck is anywhere near Blair, even though Blair's best friend is Chuck's stepsister so they're bound to run into one another.
** Although he's gotten better in season 3, he still takes every opportunity possible to mention what a horrible person Chuck is and how he "deserves to be alone."

Removed the bit about Dan and Blair having much more in common than Chuck and Blair. The show has spent three seasons showing us how much Chuck and Blair have in common so I think it\'s safe to say she has a lot in common with both boys.

*** Also kudos to the writers for actually developing the relationship organically over an arc compared to their usual method of just throwing people together. The start of as allies to find Juliet, spend time together because there is literally no one else, begin to bond, actually become good friends (not that they would admit it) and you can actually see how they could start dating. Similarly the two are shown to have similar interests that they get along over, like a shared taste in classic movies as opposed to a pairing like Dan and Serena who seem to have nothing in common.

Now, a season later, they are complaining about how dull Lily and Rufus are together, and how Bart was so much better for and with her, and should never have been killed off.
** When Chuck and Blair took a season to get together, the fans complained the build-up was too long and they should be a couple. When they became a couple, the fans complained that they were being toned down and needed to go back to their season 2 dynamic. When they broke up in order to return to that exact dynamic, the fans complained that the writers had ruined everything and should have kept them together forever. And when they inevitably reunite, you can bet the fans will complain that Blair shouldn't have taken him back so soon. AAAHHHHHHH! Poor Josh Schwartz.

The fans wanted them together long before they did get together, and the fans have always been specific about what they mainly want to see with them together - sexiness and the two scheming their way to the top together. When they got together we got none of that, which is what the fans complained about. It was never about the fans wanting them back to will they/won't they territory.

* TheWesley: Vanessa, according to some. The vast majority of the fans loathe her and any episode she doesn't appear in is immediately hailed as being so much better for her not being in it. Yet she keeps getting storylines, is the only girl who has been romantically linked to all male leads and is constantly talked about as being a great person with high morals even though she behaves just as badly as Blair, Jenny and Serena. On the other hand, she is the only main character who is missing from several episodes each season and while she gets storylines most of them directly involve one or more other main characters rather than Vanessa and guest stars.

*** [[YourMileageMayVary Highly debatable]]. It seemed to this troper that she was acting out of concern for Chuck, not wanting him to be conned again like he was by his mother. Eva was hardly the saint Chuck made her out to be - he told her all her darkest secrets and she didn't tell him she was a hooker. Blair was right to be suspicious, and besides, Chuck was the one who ''chose'' to believe Blair over Eva.
