Oh, poor, poor Nate on Gossip Girl. He's gotten himself caught between a rock and a hard bitch -- and we're not so sure it's going to be so easy for him to get out with his pretty, pretty face unscathed this time.

On last night's Gossip Girl episode, NYC suffered a citywide blackout, annoying Jenny got fired from her internship because for being exceptionally annoying, Serena and Dan got stuck in a confined space and were forced to confront their relationship issues, and it would seem that Blair's boyfriend Lord Marcus (or, "Lohhhd Mahcus") is maybe gay. That's pretty much what we gleaned from the episode, though you can check out a much more detailed recap and analysis over at our super-perceptive brother site Jaunted.

Back to Nate: he's gonna get screwwwed by someone at The Mercer Hotel.

Marcus and Blair in the Hudson Hotel library.

He's sleeping with her, she's his ex's boyfriend's mother; then she walks in on them rolling around on the floor and exclaims "oh my effing God" and the ruthless exploitation of someone's desire to keep her dignity and marriage intact begins.

Ah, just another day in the lives of Manhattan's elite, as depicted flawlessly on the Best. Show. Ever. If you missed last night's Gossip Girl episode, jump on over to our brother site Jaunted, where they've done a bang-up job of breaking down the series of plot twists and mind-blowing web of toxic sexual entanglements for those of you who don't understand why any "well-preserved" 38-year-old duchess would end up in the arms of a high-schooler (nobody had to answer that question for us; he's Chace Crawford. Um, hello?)

This week, the gang was all over the Hudson Hotel: on the rooftop, in the library...our thoughts after the jump.

Step Aside Fiji Water and Voss: Tasmanian Rain is Taking Over

We promise this picture is relevant to the story. Just keep reading.

The hotel amenity business is a cutthroat business these days. Hotels are constantly trying to outdo one another with the best products and services (like Fresh toiletries in the bathroom, Frette linens on the bed and Proposal Butlers.) We imagine hotel rivalries must go something like this:

"Oh you have white green tea scent in your lobbies? Well, we personalize the scents in our lobbies to coordinate with the hotel's interior design scheme and its feng shui. So top that!"

Additionally, what goes into the mini-bar is just as important. Long ago, it used to be M&Ms, Pringles and Coke. Today its Dean & Deluca candies and sex kits.

And bottled water is no exception. While luxury hotels tend to offer either Voss bottles or Fiji Water, the newest brand on the block seems to be Tasmanian Rain.
