Gossip Girl Recap: I’m almost giving up.

The show has spiraled into absolute ridiculousness.

Last nights episode was like hanging out with that annoying friend you have who always has to mention what label he is wearing, what celebrities he saw at what famous restaurants last night, whose yacht he was on this summer… UGH. It was down right exhausting.

First, Tim Gunn. Every sentence for about 20 minutes had the name “Tim Gunn” in it. ALERT TO GOSSIP GIRL PEOPLE: TIM GUNN DOESNT WORK AT PARSONS ANYMORE.

Then they went on to mention The New York Observer Party at the Boom Boom Room 100x. Then we had an Ivanka and Jared Kushner cameo that was completely gratuitous plus an Isaac Mizrahi appearance. All in about 35 seconds.

Does anyone really care that the Kushner’s own the New York Observer and that people go to the Boom Boom Room in NYC? Why does GG’s one attempt at credibility  rely on name dropping “real New York” shit…

Enough on that. Little J returns. She is just as annoying as ever, BUT WORSE: Serena in this episode made me want to gouge my eyes out.

{Serena’s boobs are pretty much reciting her  lines in this episode. She looks like a space invader with cleavage.}

She wakes up in the bed of the man who has been stealing her cabs every morning. The one who picked her up at the St Regis bar, remember? (I was seriously thinking who the hell is that when the image first flashed on screen!) Then she shows up at Columbia in a micro-mini skirt and stripper heels for class. (I went to that GD school and most people wore PAJAMAS!) Chuck is roaming around campus along with every other GG cast member we have ever met…  Then after class Serena tells her new prof that she cant be “one of his conquests” at which point he tells us that she declined to be conquered. YEA RIGHT. Thats more ridiculous than the whole rest of the show. Imagine that: Serena declining sex! Ha!!!

He then convinces her to drop his class so that she could do him all semester. She agrees. And they are going to the NY Observer party tonight of course. Because every acclaimed professor takes A STUDENT- who cares if she is not his student!- never mind a 19 year old bimbo to go receive an award. RIGHT.

There is so much more stupidity- Jenny shows her line to Tim Gunn (who is the worst actor on earth) and it has been desecrated by Blair, the letters WHORE painted in red on the fronts of the dresses. Tim Gunn is of course APPALLED at this, and throws Jenny out, only later to offer her another chance to show them to him with very little convincing. Ugh….

Over in Nate/Juliet land more stupid shit is happening. Nate is the most gullible dope of a boy ever to live in Manhattan and Juliet’s horrible Express clothing and baggy under eyes arent making her lies any easier to swallow. He sees her on the prison line (Surprise Nate’s incarcerated dad is back on the show! Remember when he had a family?) and actually sort of believes her half baked lie that she reads to the inmates…

In the last 10 seconds of the show, we discover that Crypt Keeper Juliet is in cahoots with Creepy Professor not to mention Scary Prison Dude and that they are all plotting the demise of Serena and her little clique.

This episode was so G-D dumb that I would seriously skip next weeks ep…. if only… a Blair & Chuck reunion wasnt promised in the previews!!!! That relationship is the only thing keeping this show going. And without that tension/love this show is unwatchable. As far as I am concerned, they could kill off the entire rest of the cast and I wouldnt mind.

The one good thing I can say about this episode is: At least Vanessa wasnt in it.

  1. at first I thought you were going to agree with me on everything I thought about the episode. Turns out that my biggest peeve was your ultimate moment! I cant stand that every 4-6 episodes Chuck and Blair kiss and make up. Most everything else I agree with you on though… between Dan being a total loser who is too smart/protective for his own good and Nate being the most oblivious person on the planet. I also laughed out loud when you made your pajamas comment at real life Columbia! So regarding Serena’s wardrobe this episode – spot on with space invader comparison. It would be one thing if she wore that and her boobs looked 10% real but they’re just too outrageously planted on her chest by her surgeon that it looks more funny than even stupid. I love the show because it’s about the beautiful city I love to live in and of course because who doesn’t enjoy watching the rich and privileged live out their lives in our city – even if it’s fiction! Sorta the reason why I loved watching that show NYC Prep on Bravo a couple years ago about spoiled 15-17 years old heirs and heiresses living in NYC and going to High School… it wasn’t scripted so it was cool.

    Anyway, the real reason for this note was to share this blog I’ve been reading ever since it started a couple years ago… http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/10/gossip_girl_recap_not_quite_su.html

    They basically have a “reality index” which scores points for each scene. The more unrealistic, the higher the score. It’s hysterical and I thought you could use some of the ideas in it for some of your upcoming recaps. My favorite this week:

    Serena takes the fact that Colin collects Lichtenstein and Warhol as a sign that he has a multi-layered personality and interests beyond making money, when in fact those are the exact artists New York City finance guys with precisely no personality or interests beyond making money are most likely to collect. Plus 3

    keep up the great work!

  2. Although I am still an episode behind, we were trying to catch up with it last night and I just kept turning to my husband and saying “why do we still watch this.” Albeit I love the fashion, but let’s be real who dresses like this daily and going to class no less and I am almost can’t take all of the drama anymore. These girls are such bitches and nothing ever seems to go right, that I just feel so tense all the time. blah, I agree it needs some help!

  3. I couldn’t agree more with your post…GG is getting so dumb. Nothing compares to the 1st season…and maybe the 2nd. I almost can’t bare to watch it anymore…not sure why I even do. Thinking it’ b/c I agree with you as well about Chuck & Blair. They’re the only thing carrying this stupid cluster_ _ _ _ and even they’re getting ridiculous…

  4. I agree with you 100 percent and wanted to add one other comment. BLAIRE BANISHES JENNY FROM MANHATTAN AND EVERYONE GOES ALONG WITH IT LIKE IT’S NORMAL!!! That is by far the most ridiculous thing of all.
