Turns out G-Girl blasted everyone with more info. She's pissed that Serena tried to find out about her. So she decides to share ALL the gossip that's left including the New Year's bit about Blair sleeping with Jack (who's related to Chuck, I guess? I didn't see that ep).
Blair manages to insult everyone in under a minute, but she mostly picks on Dan for no particular reason. Don't worry, kids. She's just projecting her anger. You'll learn about this in Psychology 101.
Blair goes after Chuck who's just sulking in a corner.
B: Hey, you slept with Vanessa. I slept with Jack. We're both sluts. We're perfect for each other!
C: Leave me alone!
B: I know you love me. Just say it, Coward.
C: Me no coward!
B: I love you. I love you and that mullet you're starting to grow. Tell me all the horrible things we've done to each other means we're in love.
C: Sorry. No can do.
Lily and Rufus are livin' it up, going through a box of memories and reminiscing on the past. What I can't figure out is how Lily still has her hair in a bun even after she gets stoned!!!! Is that thing permanently glued to her head?????
They both talk nonsense and then Rufus rolls up a piece of paper and proposes. Oh, weed and beer. Always bringing out the best in people.
Serena blabs to Nate about how mean Gossip Girl has been. So she tricks her and sends this message:
What I love about this is the fact that The Oak Room is the name of the bar in my hometown. I can't help but picture toothless fishermen and other local townspeople flirting with Serena. Why does she think G-girl will call her bluff? Who knows.
Blair runs into Jenny in the bathroom and I keep hoping she's drunk because she launches into this whole history lesson about Anne Boleyn and how Jenny should marry her country instead of a real boy and Chuck sucks cuz he didn't say "I love you." Yes, that was one long sentence.
Meanwhile, back at the bar that serves teenagers, Serena and Nate eagerly await Gossip Girl's arrival. One by one everyone in high school shows up because they all got a text from Serena to meet them there. Turns out Gossip Girl tricked them! Damn, that girl's got a lot of time on her hands. G-girl sends a heartwarming text about how thankful she is for all their gossip and for some reason everyone is happy again.
Oh, and Gossip Girl slips in that she WILL be following them in college so we don't have to worry about what's gonna happen next season. Blair and Serena catch up on the Chuck drama while the teens all drink in public.
They both talk about how they wish Chuck was there at The Oak Room, and lo and behold, who's standing outside of the bar staring into the window like a crazy homeless person? Chuck!
I watched this episode at my parent's house and the best part was when my dad came in and watched the last 10 minutes.
Dad: What are these people doing?
Me: They just graduated high school?
Dad: Why are they at a hotel?
Me: It's not a hotel. That's their house.
S and B blah blah blah about high school. Gossip Girl has been reporting that Chuck Bass is in Europe. Actually, it sounds like everyone is going to Europe after graduation. Rich bastards.
Speaking of Europe, Vanessa and Dan chat in a coffee shop while Nate re-invites himself on the Europe trip. She tries to pretend she's taking some other guy, but the random stranger messes up her name and the jig is up.
They have a good laugh and Nate does convince her to take him along. I think he even said something like it doesn't have to be romantic unless they get drunk in Italy one night. She forgets that he ever broke her heart and accepts.

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?
