I've been following Gossip Girl on and off since the season premier. Being from California it was hard to swallow that they tried to move "The O.C." to Manhattan. Okay you can deny that and say Gossip Girl is totally different, that the east coast and the west coast are totally different, and the wardrobe is so much chicer. Whatever. The cast resembled the cast from Newport Beach from the very beginning but yes, I was sucked in by the over the top outfits and over the top drama.
Not only is Gossip Girl the epitomy of every little girl's dream but it's a bit of a laugh for the rest of us. Of course, who knew that the most prestigious Prep schools are the training grounds for pre-Cirque du Soleil wannabes. I have a hard time comprehending how Prep schools do allow their students to dress like the the Mardi Gras parades, how they spend most of their academic time on the steps outside the schools practicing their "English", or how Buckingham Palace grew legs and swam to Upper West Side and tossed its Royal residents out and incorporated itself with New York's whores and bores.
But speaking of royal families, I must say other than the manners [insert jokes here], the marijuana [insert some more jokes here] and other numerous daily customs [or so UPN says] they have much in common. Oddly everybody in Manhattan is from the same family! They all married their cousins, their children are falling in love as their parents are falling in love, YES, all with each other. Uh, I don't know if news travels slow on the Atlantic but just so you know, even the Windsors are looking at commoners. And just in case you are scratching your head, a commoner means "one who wears clothing from Old Navy, whose schools do not include the word 'academy', and whose annual salary is equivalent to one of your huge shopping binges."
Can a human being really have that much drama? It seems like Serena has a whole bunch of people coming back to remind her of her old life. Wow, last time I heard of a person with so much popularity was when the FBI were trying to find America's Most Wanted. They manage to get into the deepest shit and when the writers get stuck, something totally illogical happens, making the perky blonde and the bitchy brunette seem like Yale engineering students [sorry Yale, didn't mean the insult].
It is important that their target audience realize that they are being lied to. Schools do not allow over the top neon dresses, not all mothers own Valentino dresses for others to steal, and most of all, being a bitch and thinking something illogical will happen, will not solve your problems.
BUT the huge question for me was that why was the finale so boring? The Georgina problem was solved, Lily loves another guy, Lily gets married, Serena and Dan break up, and Chuck leaves Blair with an intern interior designer as Blair waits with a hot guy on the verge of an European trip for the summer.
I take summer school and there's much more entertainment than that. Freaking out at physics word problems is more entertaining than that [well, after you figure out the answer and hit yourself for being so stupid or gullible]. Wow, how great it is to know that I have better summers & I can write better than the weekly Monday gossip shit.
UPN it's time to hire a real Shakespeare or steal stuff from TMZ.
