1. One Word: G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
Gossip Girl
As much as we all swooned over Chad Michael Murray in OTH, we all know that the glitz and glam of Gossip Girls were deeply enchanting. The gowns, the couture, the DIAMONDS. You're lying if you think that OTH had even a fraction of the glam factor that GG did. Brooke might have dominated L.A., but we all know the true pinnacle of glamour is in NYC, baby.

4. The Better Villain
Dan Scott was absolutely terrifying and he was clearly a sociopath; but he lacked depth, meaning had no true reason to be so hateful. He was simply a cruel character with a weak backstory. But Georgina Sparks? She was ruthlessand so blatantly desperate, it was almost comedic! She was mentally ill, sure, and she stole some identities, perhaps lied to multiple men about the father of her baby, but at the end of the day: she just wanted to be a part of their world again. In my opinion, the best type of villain is one you kind of feel sorry for, one that entertains and frightens at the same time. Georgina was a well-rounded villain, as opposed to Dan Scott who murdered his brother, despised his firstborn son, and mostly just made everyone's lives miserable, all for little to no reason why.
5. Iconic Couples

Do I even have to elaborate on why Chuck and Blair take the cake for the most iconic couple? I mean, falling in love with your tutor and getting married in high school is cute and all, but Chuck and Blair's rich, risky, and ravenous romance will forever be legendary. Chuck paid her royal dowry, married her in central park, and let's not forget when he voted for her 150 times for Prom Queen. Ugh, don't you just adore them?
6. Nanny versus Nanny
We all remember crazy Nanny Carrie, who not only abducted both Jamie and Dan Scott but then proceeded to drug Dan as well. Yeah, I think we're all in agreement to the fact that Dorota was the best nanny to ever exist.
7. FashFUN
Gossip Girl
We could talk circles around two really great shows, but the costuming for GG will win out every time. From ball gowns and cocktail dresses to shopping on 5th avenue and summering in Europe - they do it all with awe-inspiring style.
