Season Six Synopsis; The CW Picks up Gossip Girl for a Still Undetermined Number of Episodes

By Daisy Miller | Filed in Ratings and Network News

I know we’re a little late with the news, but here we are with it anyway. Gossip Girl got a Season Six pick up. Yay! Or is it yay?

We know that it’s a half season, but what remains to be determined, even to this day, is whether it is a ten, eleven, or thirteen episode wrap.  From the sound of things The CW wanted to be respectful of the fans that have followed the show through the good and mindfuck times. Some of us are surprised about the pity pick-up, some of us are glad they’ll have time to get the storylines back to a still-respectable ridiculousness, and some of us are just happy this will all be over soon, and we will be able to get on with our lives.

Anyway, here’s the S6 synopsis:

Six years after the first Gossip Girl blast rocked the Upper East Side and viewers at home, GOSSIP GIRLreturns for an unforgettable final season. Season 6 opens with the Upper East Siders working together to find one of their own. Serena has gone off the grid, beyond even the reach of Gossip Girl. Her friends fear for the worst and hope for the best, but even they can’t imagine where they will ultimately find her.  Meanwhile, Blair has offered Chuck her heart, but is her love enough to help him win back his empire? Lonely Boy Dan has written a new book that promises to make even more trouble than the first, and this time he has no desire to remain anonymous. Nate is determined to finally reveal the true identity of Gossip Girl, thereby making a name for The Spectator, and himself. Lily and Rufus turn on one another when Rufus makes a surprising new ally who threatens Lily and her family. Anywhere else it would be too much drama to handle, but this is the Upper East Side. And when Bart Bass, Jack Bass, and Georgina Sparks show up to raise hell, it’s a fight to the spectacular series finale. Who comes out on top? That’s one secret I’ll never tell… xoxo, Gossip Girl.

 

So what do you think about their S6 plans? Did you as a fan think they needed a full season to make up the waste that was S5?

Gossip Girl 5.23 Podcast – Amber Throws Scissors Through Dan’s Hairy Wall

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Podcasts, Ramblings

5.23 serena

It's not right, but it's okay. Serena's gonna make it, anyway...

 

Amber and Tati talk to the vacant space of haters who did not love this episode – namely Chelsea and Daniela – while Katie is the smartest. At some point, we all debate Vampire Diaries. Full disclosure? We’re Stelena fans, sorry – except Daniela, who loves Delena and thus gets a little ganged up on. Katie, again, is smart not to have an opinion. But, deep in her heart, she knows Stefan is flawless, tbh.

Amber’s vocal stylings blow both Glee and Smash out of the water. Eat your heart out, Josh Safran. And Ryan Murphy. Even if you combined forces to create the most confusing, least consistent musical show of all time, Amber would still defeat you.

We do talk about Gossip Girl, though, promise. We are especially interested in WTF is happening in the promos for next week. Finale time, here we come!!!!!!

Gossip Girl 5.22 Podcast – Jake is my Sunshine, my Only Sunshine

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Podcasts, Ramblings

5.22 cb

"I love you, you love me, let's tie season 5's plot contrivances to a tree..."

 

We came, we saw, we conquered. We gushed over how amazing this episode was, plus Chelsea had to take us through the feels of the previous 7 episodes she missed. We oohed and aahed over Nate/Serena and Chuck/Blair, we sang songs in praise of Jake Coburn, and we … did other stuff. Can’t remember it’s all a blur.

Now go forth and listen! Fill your hearts with light!

Gossip Girl 5.22 Master Post – When the Going gets Good, Jane Posts Things

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Spoilers

In honor of the fact that “Raiders of the Lost Art“ was written by my beloved Jake Coburn, I thought I would reinstate the updating of this lovely webpage on GG-related things by sticking all the stuff we know about tomorrow’s episode in one place. Yay! May Bart Bass live long and prosper.

ELIZABETH HURLEY AND DESMOND HARRINGTON GUEST STAR — Chuck (Ed Westwick), Nate (Chace Crawford), Blair (Leighton Meester), Serena (Blake Lively) and Lola (guest star Ella Rae Peck) team up to uncover what they think is an explosive secret between Diana (Elizabeth Hurley) and Jack (guest star Desmond Harrington). Meanwhile, Dan (Penn Badgley) is offered a prestigious fellowship in Rome for the summer. Matthew Settle also stars. Bart Wenrich directed the episode written by Jake Coburn.

(source)

So, first things first, getting to see Jack Bass again is a real treat. We should all be thrilled about that alone. You can never have too much Jack! Secondly? THE NJBC IS BACK. And then there’s Lola. Regardless, it’ll be interesting to see how Blair interacts with the rest of the gang and whether people will even comment on the fact that she’s basically not one of them anymore. Also, the great Drome ship sets sail and we must all decide whether or not we wish to be aboard. Lily and Ivy, sadly, do not appear to be in the episode.

 

 

Blair dresses like Diana and talks to Chuck without yelling! Jack Bass exists! Nate and Lola reunion! Does this episode need any more of a ringing endorsement? It’s basically screaming “WATCH ME.”

 

 

Chuck and Nate continue to be the most epic bromance on the Upper East Side, and Blair is inadvertently likened to a serial killer. So, basically, all is right in the world.

 

 

Jake Coburn takes the wheel and does beautiful things with it. The gang gets back together! Blair insults Nate’s intelligence even though he is the smartest person on the show this season! The biggest surprise of the year is happening at the end of the episode! I’m not saying it has to be Bart, but come one. The only other option is that Chuck is literally a test tube baby.

5.22 chuck

"Bass. Chuck Bass.

5.22 nair

"If I'm Diana Payne, and Diana is Bart Bass... Then has Chuck slept with his father?"

522 nola

The cutest guest star relationship since ... the last time Nate had a guest star relationship.

5.22 chair

"Who's more excited that we're sharing a scene? Us or the audience?"

 

Are you catching my drift yet? Watch this episode!

Gossip Girl 5.21 Podcast – Chuck and Nate Have a Baby Named Monkey (on Sims)

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Podcasts, Ramblings

5.21

"We're not the episode title, but we're the best part of it, so deal with it."

 

LONGEST PODCAST EVERRRRRRR.

We talk over each other A LOT this episode – guess we were really excited – and argue with our good friend Vik over DB versus CB. We discuss spoilers and show runner changes, as well as crying over Serena and worshipping the ground that Chuck and Nate’s eternal love walks on.

And, yes, Nate and Chuck are officially married on Amber’s Sims and now have a beautiful baby girl named Monkey.

Gossip Girl 5.20 Podcast – Salon of the Sexy British Actors

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Podcasts, Ramblings

5.20 salon of the dead

"I banged your best friend to be closer to you, son."

 

A podcast where we all discuss what we think of Chuck and Nate’s friendship, DB’s relationship, and Rufus and Lily’s fight and how we are always 105% Team Lily. Go Lily!

Also, thank you writer of 5.20, for giving Serena actual motivation despite constantly Blessing her with Suck.

Finally, there is a lot of laughter for reasons I can barely remember. And pseudo-spoilers for the Canadian promo of Vampire Diaries. Enjoy!

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Podcasts, Ramblings

5.19 nola

These are the two smartest kids on this show. Sad.

 

Guess who’s back? Chelsea and Jac are back! It’s a big group of us here, getting way off-topic and trying to cobble together some feelings about this latest episode. We also talk a lot about Chace’s lip and Ed’s onesie.

Note to everyone: ship Chate. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

Annnnnd here’s the podcast!

Gossip Girl 5.18 Podcast Version 1.0 – What Are Titles? What Do They Mean?

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Podcasts, Ramblings

serena is beautiful

What do you mean this isn't a still from the episode?

 

This is a podcast without Chelsea, but guest-starring Amber’s dog, Chloe. We are very sorry if it’s not as exciting as it usually is, but neither is Gossip Girl. We tried to include a few songs for you, though! And there’s definitely some yays. also, the title of the episode has an exclamation point, so what more do you want?

So … Have at it!

Jane Rochester Says, “We Were On A Break!”

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Ramblings

serena and blair

 

Hello, lovely Gossip Girl fans whom I love dearly. I just wanted to make a public announcement – because once it’s on the internet, you can’t take it back – that I am going to be taking a break from this site for a short while. Hopefully it’s a break from all sorts of GG fandom, as well, but I don’t know exactly how strong I am yet.

Clearly, the show that is now being produced is no longer the show I thought it was, which is fine. Art, commercial or independent, changes or grows with the artist and it isn’t made to fit a specific consumer’s needs. Obviously where I want GG to go and where its creators want it to go have parted ways, and that’s okay. But that doesn’t mean I have to stick around to watch it kill everything I love.

Now, I’m about to delineate the parameters of this “break,” and you’re going to be like, “What? How is that a break?!” But, trust me, it is for me. :P

Of course, I still have to watch the episodes, because I have made a commitment to the podcasts, so those won’t stop. NEVER FEAR! My opinion will just no longer be colored by interviews or sneak peek or spoilers, because I plan to be done with those for the time being. I have to deal with real life (which always sucks, doesn’t it?) and, frankly, the show is disappointing enough right now without adding more salt to my wounds. Plus, Game of Thrones is starting up again on Sunday, and I’m NOT missing out on that fandom.

So if you don’t see me updating this site or posting in forums, don’t cry for me, Argentina! The truth is I never left you, etc. I’ll be back before the end of the season, I’m sure. (Unless the show kills Chuck, and then I’ll be free, as will about 80% of you)

In the meantime, I know Daisy and Felicity are busy as all get-out, so if you would like to be the person who replaces me in posting stuff for the next month or so, please email me at jane@gossipgirlsss.com. Or PM me on the forum. Or DM me @GGirlsss on Twitter.

Thanks for being a great bunch of boys and girls, and I’ll see you again soon!

Much love,
Tatiana

ETA: Nevermind, it sounds like I’m being told that if I’m not posting, no one is. So … Don’t worry about replacing me! Just enjoy the forum and talk amongst yourselves.

Gossip Girl 5.20 Episode Synopsis – Nothing Breaks My Rufly!

By Jane Rochester | Filed in Promos

Rufly

"Our love is better than any love I know. It's like thunder, lightning..."

YAY! Thanks to @AwkwardGG, I can now provide you little monsters with a very weird description for episode 5.20, “Salon of the Dead”:

To celebrate their official coming out as a couple, Blair (Leighton Meester) and Dan (Penn Badgley) host a glamorous British-themed Salon, including guests Julian Tepper and Jenna Gribbon (founders of The Oracle Club). Lola (guest star Ella Rae Peck) lands the audition of a lifetime, but Gossip Girl may have other plans for the Upper East Side’s latest It Girl. Meanwhile, Lily (Kelly Rutherford) and Rufus (Matthew Settle) disagree over the best way to handle the Ivy (Kaylee DeFer) situation, and Serena (Blake Lively) and Diana (Hurley) face-off over secrets they both would prefer remain secrets. Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick also guest star.

A) Okay, skipping over the part where we assume Ed and Chace haven’t just been demoted to guest star status, why do Blair and Dan even need to come out as a couple? I mean, obviously what they were doing before her divorce was immoral and adulterous, but it’s not like the world didn’t already know about it.

B) Lola is an It-Girl now! Serena is successful at something! YAY! But will it affect her dreams of stardom? :( Sads.

C) Don’t fight, my beloved Rufly! YOU LOVE EACH OTHER! Don’t let Ivy tear you apart.

D) Diana and Serena both have secrets? Are they both Chuck’s mom?
