Btw...in that last teaser poster ^^, that isn't Blair/Leighton Meester. Apparently it's this cougar-type character played by Madchen Amick, idk who that is.

"Amick, 37, will appear in the first few eps of the new season as cougar Catherine Mason and tempt Nate Archibald (Crawford, 22) with a May-December romance. In the first four or five episodes, it will also be revealed that Amick’s character will also have “a surprising connection to another new character on the show.”

& also...CW is switching channels again?! Merger between CW & Fox

Anyways...discuss

[coconutter]

I've only read one of the books. The show seems interesting though, but I'm only one for catching things when they're a month old.

Did you hear about the moms complaining about the racy pictures. I bet those are the miley-hater moms too.

[ofconfidence]

ahah i can be charged as guilty for watching this stupid show.
i don't care how many people thinks its a bad example and it's trashy.

it's so freaking amusing!

[whoahitznikki]

i hope it doesn't get cancelled because this is my guilty pleasure show haha.

[Smarmosaur]

i don't know why, but i absolutely love this show. one of my friends almost peed herself laughing when she found out that i watch it.

[fredatemespleen]

I'm guilty of watching it too.
x]

I can't wait for it to start again.

[Lahlizzdah]

guilty. only a select few friends know that i watch it.

i tried reading the books after i started to watch the show but really can't stand them for some reason.

[pandamonium]

what fox and cw? are you kidding. wow thats so stupid.

i stopped watching, i wanted to but i dont have time to.

[illa]

i'm addicted
i'd watched the whole first series on the net way before the end on tv.

[ofconfidence]

it's hilarious however that all their posters are dealing with sex.

it's as if no one would watch the show if they didn't all sleep around.

[technicolour]

This show is my pathetic guilty pleasure. It's so addicting. Watch one episode and you're dying to find out what's next. I have like, 1/2 of season one on my iPod.


Haha, in the previews, Blair calls Chuck a "Mother-Chucker". I found it amusing.

[treschicgeek]

what fox and cw? are you kidding. wow thats so stupid.

I think it's only in San Diego though.

...it was revealed that their San Diego outlet KSWB will switch affiliations from The CW to Fox.The change will happen on August 1, 2008...

...on the same day KSWB becomes Fox5, XETV will re brand itself as "San Diego's 6, the new home of The CW.

Why would they only merge it in SD? Wtf.

[angelrevelation]

So excited! The Nate situation is really strange though

[pandamonium]

I think it's only in San Diego though.

that is weird. yea after i posted i looked it up and there were no big headlines of it in google.

[mye01]

i super love this show..its really enjoyable to watch serena,blair,nate and dan..i have read the books and i must say the tv adaptation is much better..serena is much nicer..hehehe..and please imagine if dan will be gay in the series???i love gossip girl!!! [color="#FF00FF"][/color]

[NoSex]

A collection of season two teasers:

The show will return for an extra-long twenty-four episode (to compensate for missing episodes last season due to the writer's strike) second season on September first. [1]

[The-March-Hare]

^ Lol at odd Nate clip.

Sigh. Gotta love a guilty pleasure.

[NoSex]

^ Lol at odd Nate clip.

Yeah, I suppose that is a bit unexpected (at the least).

Sigh. Gotta love a guilty pleasure.

See, I don't feel guilty. Although the show is consistently described as a guilty pleasure, which I can understand, I honestly consider it quality television. I think the show has a perfectly satirical angle in its (actually) profound social commentary. The New York Magazine said:

In fact, the show has resurrected the potential for scripted dramas to be effective social satire—to present a world more accurately than a "reality" program can. Gossip Girl presents a wealth-eye view of the city, but because it is a cartoon we can laugh along with the conspicuousness of the consumption. Living among the wealthy in New York is an experience of queasy ambivalence—we find their antics both mesmerizing and icky. But on Gossip Girl, we do not have to judge them, or ourselves. The show mocks our superficial fantasies while satisfying them, allowing us to partake in the over-the-top pleasures of the irresponsible superrich without anxiety or guilt or moralizing. It’s class warfare as blood sport. And, as Blair Waldorf might say, that’s entertainment.

Further, I think the writing, the acting, the set and costume design... all spectacular. Show creator Josh Schwartz has a style of satire and 'upper-class decadence/lower-class sensibility' mixing, first established in his (stupidly popular) teen drama The O.C., that is actually amazingly resonate. Sure, the concept eventually committed suicide somewhere in some overpriced-human-slave-ridden-orange-county-mansion... but, it's really been revived in Manhattan... the streets of New York City. Better writing, a more talented cast, and a much more thoughtful production has granted Schwartz the sort of power he needs in order to effectively weave his tales of class confusion, adolescent pain, and sorted romance. And I, for one, find it to be utterly brilliant. So, in perfect honesty, and despite my snobbery, I can say that I am not the least bit guilty that I love Gossip Girl.

xo xo.

[Paisley]

Sweet! I can't wait for season two. Of course, I do need to finish season one first. This show is so addicting... I think it's probably because it IS trashy! LOL. It really does have its sweet moments, though, too. I can't wait to see what happens next.

[lawlietta]

[towntown2]

I loved the series, until I fell behind and stopped buying the books.
The TV show, though, I don't like how the writers took a lot of creative liberty over the story lines.
It's just something I can't get behind.

[emmijane]

GOSSIP GIRL & ONE TREE HILL = LIFE

[hernandez23]

This show is my current addiction.

[treschicgeek]

I hate being on PST. We get all the shows on last

[espressive]

[technicolour]

NJFHUENRHDSFD

I slept through it! Arg. I guess i'll just download it. Was it any good?

[Insurmountable]

I missed it, I've been seeing previews of it but didn't know when it started XD

I'll have to download it, I got a hold of the whole first season and I missed like the last 6-7 episodes, so I'll be watching the rest of them on my place trip this Friday.

I had forgotten how much I enjoy this show...

I had also forgotten how much I wish Jen wasn't 15, but that's another issue.

[Smarmosaur]

OHMYGOD.
i totally freakin forgot it started. :[
so i missed it.
know where i can watch it? =D

[hi-C]

f**k Dan, give me Chuck.


Okay, seriously, that dude who Blair's dating now, that Marcus dude... him being a Lord is so f**king lame. They could've come up with a better line than that. But Chuck's face at getting the info on Lord Marcus was freakin' priceless.

[technicolour]

YESSSSSS! iTunes put it up early! YESSSSS.

Now I need to watch it. Heh.

I've always loved Dan. But Chuck is a bad boy, which makes him INCREDIBLY appealing. :D And Nate's the incredibly pretty boy.


OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOGMG

CHUCK I LOVE YOU.

Sad. But this episode was SO DANG GOOOODDDD!

[The-March-Hare]

f**k Dan, give me Chuck.

Apart from anything else, WORST British accent I have ever heard. Honest to God, I was watching it online, and when hs accent first changed, I genuinely thought it was because the sound had screwed up.

Dreadful.

[hi-C]

^ I was thinking the exact same thing. It's horrible.

Edit: After doing some googling, I found out that the guy who plays Marcus, Patrick Heusinger, is from Florida. I don't get this, okay, so they have Ed Westwick, a genuine Brit, playing an American and they couldn't get a Brit to play a Brit?

[The-March-Hare]

Lol. The world makes little to no sense.

They could also have bothered to cast an actor who didn't appear to be 35.

[hi-C]

Trufax. The only people who look their ages are Jenny and Eric. And Blair/Dan/Serena if you kinda squint.

[*paperplane*]

Jenny doesn't even look her age, she just is her age. I assume I don't need to clarify that.

I don't know how the rest of them are still in high school, though. Seriously.

[hi-C]

Jenny doesn't even look her age, she just is her age. I assume I don't need to clarify that.

Ah yeah, good point.

I don't know how the rest of them are still in high school, though. Seriously.

Either their characters all have pituitary problems, or they got held back a couple of years.

[The-March-Hare]

Well, yeah, but looking old is forgiveable as long as she actually IS her age.

[berrypop90]

I've never watched it. Never wanted to. What's the appeal? Why do you all watch it? I'm not saying it's a bad show, I'm just wondering what the big deal is. It seems kind of generic.
I do love to look at pics of the guys on the show though. They're yummy.

[Insurmountable]

So I couldn't wait for the plane trip so I finished watching the whole first season, and I was so sad that Dan and Serena split up I don't want Dan to be with Vanessa all that much.

But nate is something nice to look at none the less.

Still need to watch the first episode of the new season, I kind of didn't have time and I was downloading all the One Tree Hill last season and the first of this.

[hi-C]

I've never watched it. Never wanted to. What's the appeal? Why do you all watch it? I'm not saying it's a bad show, I'm just wondering what the big deal is. It seems kind of generic.

I watch it because I love the books.

[angelrevelation]

I'm so happy that Jenny is nice again...

I didn't expect Dan and Serena to get back together so quickly though. There could have been at least a little fighting, right? The thing with Dan being a player was kind of odd, since it was just kind of a big jump.

And while I feel really bad for Chuck, I can't completely blame Blair for being so stubborn.

[idkilikepoprocks]

it's total bullshit that Eric let Jenny use him like that without even making her feel miserable for what she did. I never liked her character in the first place. I mean..she's already going to this elite private school and all she can think about is making friends rather than grades. At least Dan has a good head above his shoulders (he can get the girl AND the grades).

I love Blair but for some reason the acting on second season premier seemed totally unnatural. Like, they sped it all up. And the British thing was just lame to the extreme. I loved the dinner part after Blaire got back when Chuck starts throwing information about Blair to her "boyfriend". What was even more priceless was when he found out about the guy's identity. LOL

Yeah, Jenny being a bitch didn't suit her at all. It's also completely antithetical to her character in the books.

I also agree with you on the Dan and Serena issue. There wasn't nearly enough drama with them this episode. You know what? I don't like them together. They're both so... lame, you know? No one (at least on tv dramas) deserves to be that happy with each other. But it looks like they're going to be taking a backseat to this whole Blair/Chuck story, which is infinitely more interesting.

And Blair isn't exactly stubborn (I think you might've used the wrong word), she's no nonsense when it comes to her relationships. She would love to be with Chuck, but Chuck isn't mature/ready/whatever enough. Can't blame him though, with a dad like that.

[angelrevelation]

^ That is true about Chuck being immature, but Blair still knows that he loves her, even though he can't say it yet. I dunno, I've always had a soft spot for him, despite his perverted side

Dan loses his head though, when he becomes a "player" and gets fired by his idol author or whatever.

[hi-C]

Thank God, some ACTUAL drama between Dan and Serena begins.

And that Catherine can go... f**k off. Is anyone one else completely done with Marcus?

[angelrevelation]

I don't think it's drama drama between D and S... It's just more sexual tension IMO

Is Marcus' accent really fake? I can't tell. But I think he's really nice, although a little unbelievable considering he's with Blair. Catherine is pretty annoying too. I wish more would come up with Lily. I want to know how she's finding married life with Bart. We never did get to know why she chose to stay with him, that one time right before her wedding.

Next week's episode is going to be really crazy.

[mmhmichelle]

I don't think it aired here today,
since all of the channels are filled with news.


:C

I was more talking about next week when the drama begins. I'm SO happy they broke up. God, people in love are boring.

And his accent is soooooo fake.

I too want more Lily. Lily and Rufus, FTW! =D

[Relentless]

The tension between Blaire and Chuck is hot. LOL. Blaire is so fricken hot.

Poor Vanessa.

BEST SCENE OF THE NIGHT.

[technicolour]

Freaking A. I had to work tonight so I missed it. DAMN. I'll just download it off iTunes tomorrow.

[misoshiru]

I was more talking about next week when the drama begins. I'm SO happy they broke up. God, people in love are boring.

awww...I loved D&S though.

[technicolour]

Yay iTunes uploads TV episodes so much faster now. This is exciting.

[Beunique]

I love that Gossip Girl!

[technicolour]

OK, WTF is up with D&S?! They broke up against because of the stupidest reason, IMO. Romeo and Juliet, hellllooooo.

OOOH, when I was watching the episode, my iPod battery died RIGHT WHEN Marcus walked in on Blair and Chuck totally making out in her bedroom . I WAS LIKE OMFGWTFBBQ. I had to wait a whole freaking 9 hours after work to finally know what happened. DID MARCUS SERIOUSLY TAKE BLAIR BACK?!

[angelrevelation]

^ I think so... Blair was like "Then show me!" and they start kissing, and Chuck comes up behind them and is glaring again... I like Marcus though. He's a nice change from the other guys.

I thought that the D/S thing was kind of stupid too... They didn't even TRY to talk about it much, although it either might have taken too long, or that it was doomed from the beginning. Apparently S is going to have a new love interest though, from this one report I read.

[hi-C]

^ That's their problem. They don't talk and Dan doesn't trust her (although she hasn't given him reason to). So THANK GOD they broke up. Sick of them.

[babecakes]

JENNY, WHAT :O ?!

[gojira]

wtf? they are dating? GAY

[babecakes]

this show is just full of f*gs and HOT CHICKS

[babecakes]

OMFG. YOU DID NOT JUST CALL CHUCK AND NATE f*gs. OMG NO. THAT'S NOT ALLOWED.

[Joanne]

I love how you two make Liz sound like a schizophrenic.


I'm disappointed with Nate. He sounded so much hotter in the books.

[babecakes]

HEY! f**k YOU !

[Gigi]

No, he really did. Nate (show) has a case of gayface.

Dan (show) >>>>>> Dan (book)

[Joanne]

AGREED!


And I'm also disappointed Vanessa isn't bald. WHAT THE f**k?!
At least she's super hot.

[Insurmountable]

I'm not really sure what to think of the second season. In all honestly I like Serena and Dan. I'm kind of sad to see them end, but I suppose to make a show survive it needs to happen, although I wish there was more to their break up then a bunch of silence.

I wish this "lord" would just go away, I just want Blair and Chuck to be together. I think they were good for each other.

[Gigi]

OMG

We totally had this discussion in the old thread. But yeah. Vanessa. WTF. I wanted a bald artsy chick.

[babecakes]

lol stfu liz

[gojira]

lol youre sucha c**t, lizzypooh. iono what you guys are look at but chace crawford is gorgeous.

haha i thought the lord was castrated or something. what kind of man doesn't want to sleep with his girlfriend.

[Melissa]

No, he really did. Nate (show) has a case of gayface.

Dan (show) >>>>>> Dan (book)

Dan in book = creepy

[hi-C]

http://chaceconline.com/gallery/albums/oth...s/sept13/66.jpg
JENNY, WHAT :O ?!

Well, it's what happens in the books =\

[angelrevelation]

I expected him to have started dating Jenny a long time ago, after they had that long talk that one time (I think the Seventeen Candles episode?).

I never liked Vanessa before, but she's starting to grow on me more.

[technicolour]

^ I'm the same with Vanessa. She has grown on me more this season than last season.


But, wtfzomg, why is Nate with Jenny? Bleh. She is annoying.


Ugh. Does anyone have a link to see what the previews are for next mondays episode?

[angelrevelation]

Next week's episode preview: Actually it's just a sneak peek/clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn8_qjSiiwA

I really really don't like Jenny's/Taylor's new haircut. And Taylor has become way too edgy for her age. It's brave, but... not really fitting?

[Luna5]

Does anyone know the song in the preview for tonight's episode?

[Melissa]

I have a friend who's supposed to be in tonight's episode!

[treschicgeek]

EWWWWWWW.

OMG. DUCHESS & LORD KISSING!

http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/09/22/ca...irl/#more-75961

[technicolour]

ohmyfreakinggoshhhh



I don't care if they're not blood relations or not. That's just WRONG.


but DAYUUMMM. Totally didn't see that one coming. My mouth was like when I saw that go down.

[Eww]

^ INORITEE O:

It was so gross. I was gonna barf.

I was pretty shocked how
Chuck was behind Amanda making Serena and Dan look bad and all.

But then again, not surprising. Chuck will be Chuck.

[technicolour]

Chuck = Blair w/ Penis
Blair = Chuck w/ Boobs and vajayjay

Seriously. When they get together, damn, those two will be LETHAL.

I was surprised too! What exactly did Dan do to Chuck to make him so vicious?

AND AMANDA! Come on, Chuck. You could've picked someone not so freaking annoying. SERIOUSLY. I wanted to slap her. Ewww.

And whoa. Serena be a mean girl.

[babecakes]

I LOVE BITCHY SERENA !

[hi-C]

^ ME TOO! Oh man, this season is going to be awesommmmeeeeeee.

[Eww]

I was surprised too! What exactly did Dan do to Chuck to make him so vicious?

Chuck's using Dan to make Serena bitchy to "dethrone" Blair. I think, at least. I'm pretty sure they said that somewhere in the episode.

And yeah, I wanna slap Amanda too.
She kind of reminds me of Demi Lovato.

[technicolour]

Damn. Chuck is vicious.

AND BITCHY SERENA IS FREAKING AWESOME.

And ewww! Amanda IS like Demi Lovato. Bleh.

[Joss-eh-lime]

mother and son relationships get out of hand in this show!
hahah

i was sooo shocked like how many more twists and turn in these relationships ships till it becomes a soap opera?

[hi-C]

Child, it is a soap opera.

[technicolour]

Child, it is a soap opera.

For reals. It's like Days of Our Lives: High School Edition.


And Rufas + Lilly = hot affair. It'll totally happen!

[Flaunted]

Blair/Chuck pleaseeeeeeeee!

But, I never liked Vanessa in the first place and now I kind of just hate her more. Please bitch, Blair knows what she's doing and don't underestimate her!

I cannot wait for Queen S.

[angelrevelation]

Mean Serena is crazy! What was with that scarf thing she did with B though?

I don't understand the Duchess/Marcus thing. I reallyyy don't. Vanessa shouldn't have jumped to conclusions like that though.

[technicolour]

ROFL @ CHARLIE TROUT.

[Smarmosaur]

oh man, i'm watching it right now, and i just got to the charlie trout part.

[dannyordinary]

I love evil Serena.
Nate acts like the victim.
Blair's evil ways are very annoying, but I love her.
Dan is rather pathetic .
Sad Chuck is actually very hot .
Jenny is so brave, I love her.

[hi-C]

I didn't think that Blair would be that bitchy to almost f**k up her mom's business. She's a crazy whore.

And Dan's a creative type. CHARLIE TROUT, are you kidding me?! That was soooooooooooo lame.

And I'm tired of Jenny.

[babecakes]

bitchy blair > bitchy serena > season one serena.

[*paperplane*]

Huh? Sad Chuck is not hot. Chuck this season is not very hot. He needs to drop the damn intense look, it isn't working for him.

[technicolour]

And Dan's a creative type. CHARLIE TROUT, are you kidding me?! That was soooooooooooo lame.

But it made me laugh hysterically! I thought it was funny. Those singing-fish wall decorations come to mind.

And of course Jenny is going to go homeless while making the worst fashion statement available. She looks like a raccoon with all that eyeliner. Like, seriously. COME ON JENNY.


And Blair, WTF BLAIR. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS. DAMN HOE.

[babecakes]

Here are a few pics of Serena gettin’ up close and very personal with new GG character Aaron Rose (played by John Patrick Amedori):

BUT AARON IS SUPPOSE TO BE HER blair's STEP BROTHER IN THE BOOKS !
but, then again, he's suppose to have dreadlocks too.
