10 Exact Moments You Raged Quit A TV Show
3. Gossip Girl - Dan And Blair Start Dating
Gossip Girl was a huge success during its run on The CW. Teens and adolescents around the world tuned in to find out what their favourite Upper East-siders were getting up to; or should I say, getting up on.
The show was promiscuous and dramatic and as such the characters in the teen drama were constantly hooking up with each other. You would've needed a spreadsheet to properly keep track of all the different relationships on the show!
There was one relationship that unanimously antagonised everyone in the fandom though; and no, I don't mean when a full grown adult dated a minor! Oh, and it's not the other time that happened either (in case you couldn't tell, the show was pretty trashy!)
The relationship that absolutely infuriated audiences and forced fans into turning off their TV sets, vowing to never watch again, was the infamous relationship between Blair and Dan.
If you're not familiar with the show and are wondering why a simple relationship would force fans to quit the show, here's an explanation. Blair was the snooty, rich girl that antagonised anyone who she deemed beneath her, and Dan... he was the every man. He was poorer than his peers, at the school on a scholarship, smart yet humble and yes, to Blair, he was very much beneath her.
Blair treated Dan poorly whenever she was with him, until she didn't anymore. I know love and hate is a fine line... but COME ON! They had no chemistry and it felt more like Dan was her servant more than her boyfriend. The show even had the audacity to act as if Dan loved Blair more than he ever loved Serena. Way to alienate your fanbase, Gossip Girl!
