The season finale brings us tears, laughter, drama, break-ups, get-togethers, drunk girls, stoned parents, unkempt hair, juicy secrets, slutty attire, cell phones, and of course, headbands. They grow up so quickly, don't they?
Is it just me or does Serena's mumbling get on anyone else's nerves? Is she chewing the inside of her face when she talks? It's like she doesn't have the energy to open up her mouth and enunciate. I don't know. Maybe I'm in a mood. Every line she says sounds so apathetic. Which also how I'm starting to feel about this show.
Anyway, Serena mumbles her way through a conversation with Blair about graduation and wanting to leave the Gossip Girl tabloids forever (because supposedly Gossip Girl doesn't report on college students). Then Blair tries to dissect Chuck's feelings for her. Why does he tell you he loves me? Why not tell me? An appropriate question, I suppose.
It's graduation time! Nate and Vanessa talk for the first time since they awkwardly ran into each other at Jenny's Sweet 16 party.
Nate: Vanessa, I haven't seen you in so many episodes!
Vanessa: Yeah, I've been too busy hosting this lame show about NYC girls who are like the characters on Gossip Girl, but much more normal looking. And I've been using a lot of Dove soap lately.
Nate: Oh. Me and Blair broke up. Sorry I was mean to you.
Vanessa: Hey, ain't no thang! These things happen. Thanks for all you've done. Now I'm going to NYU. Yippee!
Nate: Come to my party tonight. Hey, don't look now, but here comes Dan. Why does he always act like an old guy? Like he's some wise sage? Drives me nuts.
Dan: Hey, crazy kids. What party? I'm going. Take your vitamins.
Okay, why does Jenny always look so prostitute-y lately? A classy prostitute, yes, but a prostitute none the less. It looks like she's wearing lingerie made from upholstery. Her big plan is to end the high school monarchy.
Blair's followers say they don't follow Blair's orders anymore. Those three chicks whose names I can never remember threaten to crown some new girl as queen for next year. Only way to win is to attend Nate's party and bring them the juiciest untold gossip.
Serena, your hair! Seriously! Run a brush through it once in a while! Dan chats with S about how his name was left off of the program, while Blair nervously chats with Chuck.
Blair tries to tell Chuck that her and Nate broke up, but she chickens out. Chuck just gazes at her with his normal sultry stare and glossy lips.
Rufus forgets that he and Lily have to sit together because they bought their tickets together, which is funny because they're sitting in pews AND it's a high school graduation, so I highly doubt there are assigned seats. Blair's mom and elderly step dad sit behind them and give their "you should get married cuz we're all old" speech, which is just awkward for everyone.
The graduates sit down and some teacher is giving some speech when all of a sudden everyone's cell phones go off. It's a Gossip Girl blast. Okay, here's what I don't understand. No one thought to turn there cell phone off during the ceremony? Or at least set it to vibrate? And is EVERYONE in the graduating class actually signed up to receive e-blasts from Gossip Girl? There's always some kid who doesn't care about that stuff.
Anyway, this is where it really gets good because she decides to label a bunch of people from the senior class. I would like to present to you...
The Gossip Girl Hall of Fame
Nate Archibald - Class Whore
Dan Humphrey - The Ultimate Insider
Chuck Bass - Coward
Blair Waldorf - Weakling
Serena Van der Woodsen - Officially Irrelevant

Oooo-make Chuck a Vampire! That would add something to the show.
Then he could bite Serena and throw her into a tanning bed a *poof* no more mumbling!
Your Father may be onto something there.
*Now a word from the Sponsor*
'Hi I play Vanessa on Gossip Girl'
I would like you to meet Jen, she is an 'uptown girl with downtown tastes and a addiction to making coffee.
Gee, that sounds like someone we all know.
Jen has everywhere to go and no explaintions of why she is anywhere.'
.....
Also, lamest graduation ceremony ever. They might as well of had them at a party saying 'I loved the ceremony!'
Talk about not using a budget..

When Nate was telling his grandfather that his cougar had been paying for his services, I couldn't help but remember Nate & his ma were destitute and squatting in their own mansion, and it was.... that guy who didn't lift a finger to help them. Grandpa Dearest. I guess he's forgiven.
Why was Gossip Girl so mad at Serena? The whole A-Team schemed to find out who she was.
I'm with you -- it was meh. Great recap though! Thanks!

Hahah, I love this recap. I sort of thought it was better than "eh" but that might be because I like Chuck and Blair together, so the ending was good for me.
How can Georgina just request Blair as a roommate and get her (because you know they will be roommates next year)? Both people have to request each other where I go...but I don't live in the Upper East Side, so...
And I kind of dig Scott, so he can hang out next season and I'd be okay with that.

recap is ok and funny, but i nearly lost it when you suggested that jack and chuck MAY be related...it was like so many episodes, which were basically about jack being chucks uncle?!
well. you're right with the lipstick, its disgusting.

I used to love Gossip Girl but now its just getting a bit over the top.
Recent episodes just keep getting more and more ridiculous. Don't get me wrong - I'm going to always be tuning in to GG, but just wanted to throw it out there that this season has been a liiiiittle much.
Anyway, in my never-ending pursuit for new shows to tune into, I found
this online reality show about students in NYU. I watched the trailer
on YouTube and thought it seemed interesting, especially b/c it's
filmed by actual NYU students (main site: underthearch.tv)
For all of you who want to check it out their YouTube page, here ya go:

I think the show has some good potential! Had anyone heard buzz
about it yet?
