Amidst the fourth season, the romance between Dan and Blair became a polarizing topic among viewers which also drew significant media interest. Jarett Wieselman of the "New York Post" applauded the development, feeling that Blair had "more chemistry" with Dan than with Chuck. "New York" magazine's Chris Rovzar called Blair and Dan's story line "believable", citing their common ground in education and taste. Rovzar further stated, "Since they live in a world where both only seem to have half a dozen real friends (if that), is it so crazy they'd end up together?" An article from "The Huffington Post" declared that "Dan and Blair together are like Harry Burns and Sally Albright reincarnated — the couple was obviously inspired by "When Harry Met Sally..."." It further commented that the couple paralleled Pacey and Joey's relationship from "Dawson's Creek" and concluded that Dan and Blair were "the most inspired storyline and couple of the show". "Entertainment Weekly" stated that Dan and Blair were like stars in an "updated version of "You've Got Mail"". Tierney Bricker of E! ranked all 25 "Gossip Girl" couples placing 'Dair' as the third best couple after Blair and Serena (#1) and 'Chair' (#2). Bricker stated that "and Blair, out of all the main characters, were the most well-suited for each other. In real life, they would've been 'endgame'."
