This is ridiculous

Not sure if I mentioned it here, but I have a love/hate relationship with the show "Gossip Girl".
I read ALL the books in the series and it's nothing like the show.
The books were good, if you like reading Upper East Side teenage drama. Which as a teenager, I loved. And had to finish all the books in the series.
Anyway, I keep watching the show because I'm curious as to what the latest drama will be and how outrageous it'll be. It's like a train wreck I can't stop watching.
The mid-season finale was amazing. It sort of followed the same track as the Princess Di scandal/death from 1997... her being chased in a car by paparazzi until the car crashed. Only in the show, the two people that were in the car were Chuck and Blair. And they lived through the accident. And because of it Blair has turned to God for guidance. Which isn't what bothers me.
What bothers me is that there's a character on the show who plays a priest. A scheming priest. I'm not really big on religion myself, but, I think priests do a lot for their church and wouldn't really scheme against people.
Sure some do end up betraying the church by doing bad things. Most of what we hear is about those stories. But for the most part, they're pretty good men and are passionate about what they do for God. I get that. But that doesn't mean I'll be part of it. That's beside the point though.
I know the writers of this show just thrive on drama. They did write for the show "The OC" back in the day... so they try to throw in as much drama as possible. But this is too much. This crosses the line a bit.
So the latest developments in the show currently have me back to hating it. I'll still watch it though. But just wanted to get that mini rant out.
Not sure if I'd recommend watching the show. The books are much better in my opinion. But the show just happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine.
Wonder what they'll come up with next...
