I hope this show starts to head in a different direction. As it stands right now, none of the characters are very relatable, even the "poor kids." I wish we were following an outsider's slow ascension through the popular ranks of some elite school on the Upper Eastside, ala Mean Girls, than just the feud to nowhere that we're currently watching. I think I'd be more invested if there was a character that was more neutral, at least at first. The kid sister, though occasionally wise beyond her years, seems too stupid and superficial most of the time to warrant this role. The Serena and Blair rivalry has to be the most toothless feud ever. Blair would seem to have to upper-hand in every battle because she's still the queen bee no matter what. I'd like to see her taken down a peg or two or then the feud doesn't mean anything. She obviously has her boyfriend due to guilt and he's not going anywhere because Serena has no intention of taking him from Blair. So really there is nothing these two have to fight over other than turf. And considering that neither one can truly pull off a social hit on the other there's essentially no drama. School hasn't been nearly as important as it should be. None of the kids look to be heading into poverty so there are no stakes. No stakes equal no drama. If the truth hadn't have come out so early maybe there'd be hope for the feud, but since everything has been laid out on the table there's been no traction. The second episode was just a little more of the same from the pilot, except instead of the "Kiss on the Lips" party there was a brunch.

I'll watch for another two weeks and then I'm done.
