Line 140:
* [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]: Happened to Nate in season 3. Fans grew tired of his constant bed-hopping and sheer aimlessness in season 2, so the writers gave him an abundance of family-oriented stories and returned him to his roots by having him be desperately in love with Serena and suddenly interested in his best friend's welfare.
* [[Ruined FOREVER]]: Many fans' reaction to the ''Indecent Proposal'' storyline. And Chuck and Jenny having sex.
* [[The Scrappy]]: Vanessa Abrams, especially true among fans of the books [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|when they watch the series]]. She got better (a little) in season 2, only to get a lot worse in season 3. In fact, [https://web.archive.org/web/20130420051417/http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20423146,00.html the very same author of the books talks about it]. [[Creator's Pet|But the producers insist on giving her more stories, in spite of general dissaproval]]. Just visit any [[Gossip Girl]] webforums and you'll see rabid comments about Vanessa.
*** As of Season 4, Vanessa has no friends left, among the characters or the viewers. Frustrated with how the NJBC seem to [[Karma Houdini|always escape the consequences of their actions]], she gave up the integrity that used to separate her from them in an ill-advised and ill-fated attempt to beat them at their own game. [[An Aesop|Now she's just the dog sitting next to a river, watching her steak float away]], and even her fans want her to Just. Go. Away.
**** And they got their wish in Season 5.
