I know that you watch Gossip Girl. We'd all like to pretend that we have a more exciting social agenda for our Monday night, but the guilty pleasure is just too hard to resist especially at the 8 p.m. slot.

Most girls love the show for it's somewhat realistic portrayal of the lives of New York socialites. But who's to judge the truth vs. TV trash? New York Magazine is as good of a critic as Gossip girl herself.

Every Tuesday morning at New York Magazine's Daily Intel you can check the reality index of the prior night's Gossip. NY Mag describes the feature as a "weekly reality index of the most important show that you pretend you aren't watching".

I agree with NY Mag's review that last night's hyped up Snowflake Ball just didn't capture that "party" atmosphere that I expected. The charity gala honoring Lily and Bart a few week's ago seemed like more of a bash then the lame winter soiree.

But enough of my opinion. Here are a few of the notable reality high's and low's from last night's episode, according to NY Mag:

• Aaron's ex-girlfriend is Ally Hilfiger?? Plus 5.

• Lexi's Brooklyn walking outfit consists of a hooker cheetah jacket, purple tights, a short pleated skirt, and black bootees. Plus 3. We hate her so hard.

• Vanessa kind of looked skinny and great in that outfit. Plus 5, because the only reason the girls at the ball would have made such a spectacle of seeing through it briefly would be because they were all jealous. Seriously, one of Serena's boobs displaces more air than Vanessa's entire body.

• Speaking of which, how hilarious was it when Serena's boobs asked Dan to dance? Plus 1.

• Plus 20 for the slightly uglier, ten times more hilarious Blair and Chuck knockoffs, and the fact that they are referred to as "Beta Chuck" and "New Blair."

• Jenny knows she's done a bad thing, so she's wearing her best Cruella De Vil outfit, which appears to be made entirely of black Labrador retriever. Plus 2.

• Okay, even we must say "enough" at some point. The Snowflake Ball is "THE holiday event for high-school seniors" according to Blair. As opposed to the ten non-holiday events for seniors? Or the ten holiday events for non-seniors? There are too many effing parties on this show that are THE event. What happened to the one Gold and Silver party (the Red, White and Blue ball for you younger folks) every year and then interschool dances? Didn't those used to be enough? Minus 3. And why is Lily and/or Blair always in charge? Minus 2. And why is it in Brooklyn? Minus 2.

• Rufus and Lily go to the PTA meetings? Minus 2. Do private schools even have PTAs? (Seriously, we don't know.)

• Wait, did Jenny make Penelope's dress in three minutes? Minus 5. And since when does Jenny design like Jessica McClintock? Minus 1.
