Welcome to the
Gossip Girl Big Bad Bracket, where we pit characters, concepts, plot devices and inanimate objects against each other to determine who (or what) was the biggest bad-ass of the season.
Much like the famed NCAA basketball bracket, we pair competitors up in a single-elimination contest. You vote on who you think would win each pairing. The winner advances to the next round, while the loser retires to lick his/hers/its literal and metaphysical wounds.
You'll notice a few notable omissions from the line-up. We didn't include the main characters, for a couple of reasons. First of all, what's the point of pitting anyone up against Blair Waldorf or Chuck Bass? It's no contest! Second, we didn't include the leading ladies of Gossip Girl in the Big Bad Bracket because, quite frankly, we didn't want to start World War III. We're wimpy that way.
With that out of the way, check out the first Gossip Girl Big Bad Bracket. Vote for your favorites, and see who or what advances to the next round! This week, we're starting with the first eight competitors in the New York Fashion Week Division. The polls close in one week , and we move on to the Blueblood Division, so get voting!
J's mullet:
Who could compete with the coif seen round the world? Jenny Humphrey's punk-meets-hillbilly do was more memorable than her clothing line this season.
Serena's assets:
With legs for days and Victoria's Secret-like décolletage, Serena has a body with a maturity level beyond her years. And the costume crew at Gossip Girl knew how exploit the hell out of it. |

80's fashion montage:
What's Gossip Girl without fashion and 80's footage without a montage? When we visited Lily's teenage years it was a marriage made in heaven with spandex, headbands, and shoulder-pads made in hell.
Fauxcialites:
Everyone wanted to be the lovely young socialites in Gossip Girl, especially when they went strutting down the runway at Eleanor Waldorf's fashion show. But only Poppy Lipton would swindle Upper East-siders to climb the social ladder. Naughty fauxcialite. |

Chuck's fashion choices:
Argyle, bow-ties, candy-colored threads -- we must be talking about Chuck Bass. Good thing Chuck had that colossally confident swagger, otherwise he would've never pulled off those velvet smoking jackets. Thankfully enough, he did.
Blair clones:
Imitation is the highest form of flattery, or in this case, servitude. Blair's minions not only mimicked her every move and sneer, but the headbands, preppy neckties and capes were sported around Constance Billard as well. |

O.C. recycle Agnes:
Apparently, Willa Holland didn't cause enough drama on the O.C. As runway model Agnes, she ripped a giant hole in Little J's professional and social life when her fashionista lifestyle got out of hand.
One-upping Eleanor Waldorf:
The only thing big about Little J this season was her ego. After creating clothes under the guise of Eleanor's label that the department stores loved, J stormed out of Eleanor's atelier with her creations when she didn't get the recognition she wanted. |
