In fact, it did so poorly out of the notable season enders last night that some of speculated as to whether or not it (and 90210 which BARELY beat it) should have been a series ender instead. Sorry, Ed!

Looks like the winners for the night were Dancing with the Stars, the season finale of Castle, and Hawaii Five-O. Two of them ABC shows. (5-0 is CBS) Let us just say that none of that comes as a shock to us, especially Castle, because we've said it before and we'll say it again: Nathan Fillion is rad.

The bottom dwellers of the evening (mostly NBC) included Chuck, Mad Love, 90210, The Event, Gossip Girl, and L&O:LA.

That's a bummer for the bottom shows, but we're willing to bet that they're there for a reason.

Here are some details:

ABC danced its way to another overnight Monday victory care of Dancing with the Stars, which stood well above anything else last night with a 14.8 rating/22 share from 8-10 p.m. Next on ABC was the season-finale of Castle at a dominant 8.6/14 at 10 p.m.

New episodes of canceled The Event (#4: 2.8/ 4) and Law & Order: Los Angeles (#3: 3.3/ 6). And The CW aired the season-finale episodes of 90210 (#5: 1.4/ 2) and Gossip Girl (#5: 1.2/ 2), which should have been series-enders.

Not awesome for the people involved, yeah, but like we said, there's gotta be a reason for such low ratings. Luckily, some of them have the chance to come back and earn their place next year!

Step up the game!

Great job to those who brought in the viewers!

Wow, we have to say, this is pretty disgusting - AND IRRESPONSIBLE - even for the world created in this show!

If you've been following Gossip Girl for the past four seasons, then you're aware of the tumultuous, extremely unhealthy relationship that has developed between the characters of Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf - you know, the constant scheming and manipulation in the name of 'undying love,' the fact that he pimped her out to his uncle - but on Monday night's episode, things went way too far.

Check out a clip of Chuck forcing himself on her, claiming her as his, and then punching his hand through window, which causes the shattered glass to cut her face (above)!

Now, we've all seen his character do pretty HOriffic, deplorable shiz before - assaulting Little J in the first episode, anyone? - and, to be fair, Blair is NOT innocent (although you can clearly see that she's genuine about making steps to mature), but what's most disturbing about all of this is that for some reason, the show's WRITERS seem to not only be rationalizing his behavior as "passion," but they support the two staying together!

In a post-episode follow-up interview, executive producer Josh Safran said:

"They have a volatile relationship, they always have, but I do not believe—or I should say we do not believe—that it is abuse when it's the two of them. Chuck does not try to hurt Blair. He punches the glass because he has rage, but he has never, and will never, hurt Blair. He knows it and she knows it, and I feel it's very important to know that she is not scared—if anything, she is scared for Chuck—and what he might do to himself, but she is never afraid of what he might do to her. Leighton and I were very clear about that."

Volatile relationship?

Is that right? Because we're pretty sure in that episode we saw Chuck not only assault and objectify her, but also use physical intimidation to frighten her, and prior to that scene, humiliate and publicly degrade her in front of a woman she was trying to impress by discussing their sexual history!

In our book, and according to most definitions, that's an abuser!

Let's take a look, shall we?

According to signs of an abusive relationship:

"Does your partner see you as property or a sex object, rather than as a person?"

Last season, he not only traded HER BODY to his uncle for a hotel, but then blamed her by saying it was her choice to go. Check.

"Does your partner act excessively jealous and possessive?"

"You'll never marry anyone else. You're mine! You're mine, Blair!" Enough said. Check.

"Your abuser may use a variety of intimidation tactics designed to scare you into submission. Such tactics include making threatening looks or gestures, smashing things in front of you, destroying property…"

The video above. Check.

And this is a character we're supposed to want to get the girl at the end?! Is this what the writers and crew want to showcase to their audience?

That it's okay to treat the supposed love of your life like this because you're going through 'issues?'

We understand that this is a fictional drama in an extremely heightened and unrealistic reality, and we're not against Chuck being a flawed character, but to promote his behavior as acceptable, or worse, put him back together with Blair is just WRONG. And as we said, it's irresponsible.

Even from a writing standpoint! If Blair is truly maturing and aware of how unhealthy her relationship with Chuck is, then her character would know better than to get back with him! Which we sincerely hope is the case.

We've seen enough of this controlling, all-consuming, unhealthy and borderline abusive bull shiz in Twilight and between Sammi and Ronnie on Jersey Shore, and we expected more from you, Gossip Girl!

Girls need to know that there is NOTHING romantic or reasonable about being treated like this by a man. It's wrong, plain and simple, and should not be tolerated.

What do U think?? Did Gossip Girl go too far??

Oh, shiz! We really hope that this is true!

We've missed her so!

Gossip Girl left us seriously hanging in its last episode before hiatus, wondering what would become of Dan and Blair now that the unexpectedly charming and relatable twosome recognized that their newfound friendship may be more than just that, but unfortunately, it seems as though there are going to be quite a few romantic hiccups for these two when the series returns in a few weeks!

We've gotten wind that none other than Hilary Duff is set to reprise her role from last season as Dan's ex-girlfriend and movie star extraordinaire, Olivia Burke, in the season finale!

Amazing! We actually REALLY enjoyed her on the show, and were pretty bummed when her storyline wrapped!

Here's hoping that they get her stick around for a while next year!

We've also heard rumors that none other than Fleur Delacour AND Katie Cassidy are also apparently popping back in for the last episode of season four - as the French hooker who saved Chuck's life and the nefarious Juliet Sharp respectively - which we'd obviously be thrilled by, but what about our MOST beloved Georgina Sparks?!

We know. We should be grateful if ANY of these fine ladies show up again, but c'mon! GEORGINA!

Just saying! LOLz!

What do U think?? Who are U most excited to see back in the Upper East Side??

Mwah!

Ed Westwick was the meat in an Aussie sandwich at the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on Friday.

The handsome Gossip Girl star caught the attention of two very lucky young ladies who didn't take their meet and greet with Ed lightly. The girls made sure to leave a lasting impression by planting a big one on each cheek.

We can't help but laugh at the smug look on Ed's face! LOLz! What a charmer.

That cute Brit Ed Westwick has been brushing up on his important literature!

He was SIGHted carrying a copy of Keith Richard's bio Life, when walking onto the set of Gossip Girl in NYC!

What else have you been reading, bb??

Thoughts on Ed's book choice??

Are we gonna get to see him do some guy smooching too? LOLs.

Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick has just signed on to Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar as Agent Smith, a "clean cut operative with writing skill" who is conscripted by Hoover to write his biography.

Obviously, the process does not go 100% smoothly.

As we mentioned last month, Leonardo DiCaprio

Ed Westwick was seen out at the Old Homestead Steakhouse last night, where he enjoyed a filet mignon, salad, and a side of Jessica Szohr.

The Gossip Girl couple were all over each other at the steakhouse with absolutely no regard for other patrons' appetites.

We're glad the two of you are happy together, Ed and Jessica, but it sounds like you were showing entirely too much PDA for a crowded restaurant!

Save it for a private venue, bbs!

Dream big, bb!

Ed Westwick recently revealed that he hopes to be the next actor to take on the iconic role of Batman!

He explains:

"It would be a dream come true to play Batman in a big blockbuster movie. He was my childhood superhero. He's a damn good fighter and has access to amazing gadgets, such as the utility belt and, of course, the Batmobile - I'd give my left arm just to sit in it."

Maybe that dream isn't too farfetched, especially in light of the recentThe Hulk and Spider-man reboots!

But we have a hard time thinking of anyone other than Christian Bale as the caped crusader these days!

What do U think?? Does Chuck Bass have what it takes to be Batman?
