The mayor, the jokester that he is, couldn’t resist opining on some of the plot’s developments (a light moment in what became a rather serious press conference later): “I just don’t see how Blaire could marry Prince Lewis when she’s clearly in love with Chuck,” he said. “I just wish that Nate and Vanessa had been able to work things out…But again I’m just a casual fan.”

It is apparent Bloomberg has never seen this show because absolutely no one has ever rooted for Vanessa.
