Blair and Serena could totally kick Marissa and Summer's butts
Robert Taylor said
Okay, so Marissa only put someone in a coma, but Serena killed someone. Marissa is a total alchie, but Serena is in control of her alcohol intake now except when she is drugged. Plus, Serena has better fashion sense and an actual body.
And Blair could totally lay the smackdown on Summer anyday. Summer actually insulted herself by falling so hard for Seth that she allowed herself to be part of a love triangle with that Anna, and we all know Blair would just bust a cap in Seth's **** if he said he wasn't sure he wanted her. And do I even need to mention the whole takedown of Jenny Humphrey?
Polaski said
Yes, Serena did kill someone...however, it was completely by accident and caused her to wither like a child in front of her mother and friends AND leave New York for a whole year? Psh, Marissa's been through so much more than that.
Let's see, she grit her teeth through not one, but TWO creepy boys (Oliver and Johnny) who wanted her smokin' bod (which is arguably just as hot, if not more so, as Serena's), shouldered the weight of the mental breakdown and death of those same two creepy boys, respectively, and weathered an unfortunate divorce of her parents. Ultimately, she may have came out a stronger girl but unfortunately, no one will ever know because - right, she died in the line of her own special duty of kicking **** and looking great while doing it. Marissa and Serena are pretty much equal in their prowess in **** off their mothers (you know...cocaine, late night partying, mini orgies, and...lesbianism).
Blair and Summer are even more dissimilar. Yes, both are vapid and shallow, but they don't pretend to be deep. Even Summer, who by the grace of God and plot twists found herself being admitted to Brown. I'll discuss this more in my next argument. It's a good one.
Robert Taylor said
Marissa might have gritted her teeth through two psychos, but let's not forget that lucky number three killed her in a manner most lame: she couldn't even survive a jeep roll-over that barely even bruised Ryan. Weak!
And though my first argument was written before the whole cocaine-snorting-death reveal, I can still back that up, since Serena obviously has taken it as well. Alcohol blurs the senses and makes people stumble, whereas cocaine causes the user to be more alert, focused and energized before losing their appetite. So, even while under the influence of their respective drugs of choice, Serena could take down Marissa in a hot second...all while losing weight and looking great!
Despite whatever higher education Summer might have had, Blair has all the street smarts (not to mention regular smarts) to succeed in a Summer takedown if necessary, since she was obviously busy reading Lord of the Flies while Summer was watching Briefcase or No Briefcase. Without missing a beat or even causing suspicion from Kieko Agena, she managed to ruin the poor girl's chances at college, GPA and make her need to buy new double-A batteries!
She wouldn't even see Blair coming.
Polaski said
Serena calls herself a Party Girl? Please. Marissa has weathered some partying horrors, whether it was dabbling in cocaine or blacking out in TJ. Home girl's been beat hard.
Before I was interrupted by that "maximum character" nonsense, I was discussing Summer. I mean...come on, the girl saved Chrismukkah! She proved extremely crafty, more so than anyone would at first give her credit. Whereas Blair uses her powers for evil, Summer uses hers for good. She acts as a place-holder for Marissa as the Social Chair and endures months of a rough love triangle between Zach and Seth in order to keep their business together and remain friends with both. If you'd rather she be devious...she can play that, too. She skillfully manipulated Seth out of Anna's clutches and puts up a fantastic cold shoulder for her lying boyfriend Seth in season three with that whole "I Didn't Get Into Brown But I'm Telling You I Did" debacle. Girl is fierce.
While Blair relies on her Queen Bee status, Summer has proven that she can survive without being popular.
Just ask Princess Sparkle...that pony has seen Summer fall to...ahem...Valleys, as well come out of them to be a girl who always gets what she wants.

Ha! Best throwdown ever! Granted, it wasn't so much Serena as that line of coke that killed that kid, but whatever. Manhattan > Newport Beach. City grit totally trumps beach bum laziness. Everything on Gossip Girl is much more hardcore, not just S and B.
loglady 05/19/08
hmmm....perhaps i wait for the summer argument to make up my mind...if it's as good as promised!

Blair is a million times scarier than Summer- you think if Chuck pulled half the crap Seth pulled with Summer that Blair would just lie there and take it? No. Way.
Plus Serena does have way better clothes and a way better figure than Marissa. And she annoys me WAY less.
All hail Blair and Serena!
Rose Tyler 05/20/08
Oh the UES prepsters trump the Newport Beach crowd any day! Not too mention we've only glimpsed Serena's old hard partying days and they make Marissa's look like a backyard garden party. Summer is no match for Blair. Why? Summer had something of a moral compass and Blair does not. Not even a little. Plus who do Summer and Marissa have to back them up? Ryan and Seth. Nate has punched just as many people as fromtheworngsideofthetracks Ryan and Chuck is well he's Chuck Bass. There is no question here. Summer and Marissa would be lying in a ball crying and begging for mercy while Blair would nary have a scratch on her and Serena's hair would still be perfect.
loglady 05/21/08
well....now of course ryan came out of that jeep crash w/o a scar, he is invincible after all....i gotta say i'm leaning towards the new kids on this one, now if you had made it taylor and summer.....taylor is just crazy enough to be scary....
Rose Tyler 05/21/08
I loved Taylor! In fact can they start the whole show over and forget Marissa? Taylor and Summer were a much better team. Ryan was much funnier and less broody when he was with Taylor.
loglady 05/21/08
well, i can't say that i loved taylor, but i really do think that she could throw down and take anyone of those preppies (except maybe georgina....girl is crazy scary...though she'll always be little dawnie to me)...i prefer to remember season 1 marissa (pre-oliver) and leave it at that!
cynthia 05/22/08
Marissa Cooper would take down Serena in a second. The real winner here is Miss Blair who is in my opinion is untouchable. She would eat our lovely Summer Roberts as fast as Pancakes eats his carrots!!
loglady 05/24/08
yeah, it's summer that's holding marisa back IMHO...
Greys_is_my_life 05/24/08
Blair and Serena could kick anyone's **** I mean butt! Don't you remember from the season finale? Blair the crazy the **** in the city, she could pull off any scheme
Polaski 05/26/08
I am really not doing too well here, hahaha.
Robert Taylor 06/09/08
Um yeah, when will it be official that I won?
