Talk about hilarious! Even through the melodrama of Olivia's movie dilemma, Blair's fallout with Serena and Jenny's midlife crisis, I really couldn't help myself.
I would give Gossip Girl one thing, they surely made Jenny into a B**** and if they could shoot Humphreys I'm sure she would be the first target.
Whew, there was a lot of battling going on and a bit of madness everywhere. The main event this time was the Debutante Ball and it was Jenny's goal to score a data before the night was up o she would have surely turned into the Brooklyn zucca she dreaded.
Each character from season one has their imitator; Jenny is supposedly playing the old Blair Waldorf, the new clingy girl is the old Jenny and Graham Collins - the old Nate Archibald. While these moments bring back fond memories, I would have preferred if things remained the way they were and for Jenny to be in something più original. While Jenny keeps prancing around in shorts, all blacks and goes backstabbing her step-brother, I can't understand how Rufus could stand back and be proud of his grown daughter without any resentment towards the person she is becoming. Maybe he could be busy with post-nuptial arrangements, but I remembered the time he freaked when Jenny once went nuts and stubborn. Now Jenny is willing to kill her principles and chill with no-brainers all for what? Popularity? If she thought having Nate as an escort did the trick to score some points, I ask myself, what is a guy like Nate Archibald still hanging around a group of high schoolers, doesn't he have his college frat boys to hang wit'.
That also goes for Blair, Chuck and all the other people that seemed completely out of place here. I understand why Lily would want to host the Ball another time around, her credibility stands, but I really cannot appreciate the moments she has with Rufus anymore. They've settled down and the writers have done nothing to rekindle that flame I once admired.
The Threesome theme was reflected in every promotion and it also placed an odd thought as to what three was it going to be. What a huge let down it was to see Olivia-Dan and Vanessa flaunt it all over town then head back to Dan's place to get-it-on. Didn't Vanessa feel like the third wheel at any point, enough for her to decide it was too hot for her to bathe in the doccia with her Best friend and his girlfriend. Vanessa seemed to be the one drinking the most and they were pretty hammered, but even before the partying and the heading back to Dan's place, didn't Vanessa see where that articolo was going to lead?
Uninteresting plots:
I just knew they were going to pull the Tripp and Serena card.
Jenny was just disappointing, I really wanted to slap her and not in the Amore to hate her kind of way.
The Debutante Ball
Oh oh it looks as though Eric has it out for Jenny...
I'm glad they made up, but Blair and Serena's feud got really old.
Lily found the letter!
Chuck and Blair couldn't save this one.
The End
I expect a little level of credibility from Gossip Girl, that's all. So Yeah, I want Nate to get a life (I would have preferred if he kicked Jenny to the curb and teach her a lesson, what happened to her not being the same person). Rufus needs to see some change in his little girl and Dan, well I don't know, it really seems like Olivia has done him più harm than good. Doesn't Olivia have her own goodie-time place, like a loft o a mansion of some sort, why is she always da Dan's?
Unfortunately, there weren't much Highlights this round worth pointing out. I found myself humored da the attempt to recreate something that was once good, but that can't be done so the writers need to focus on what is already there. Sadly this episode turned out to be the exact quality I expected.

The politically minded Tripp will announce that he’s running for office (possibly the senate) and Nate will get involved with his campaign. Holley Fain, who portrayed Tripp’s fiancée, will also be returning for multiple episodes.
Tripp was mentioned in the season premiere da Nate's grandfather, who, in a bit of foreshadowing, called him about a way to potentially stick it to the Buckleys.
Tveit will juggle his Gossip Girl arc with his Broadway calesse, concerto in successivo to Normal.
I absolutely loved this scene where Blair posed before the camera's after Serena gained publicity from being arrested :)
Like the title, it is time to say Goodbye to our most loved series. Okay I'm kidding, most of our series are meeting their finale stage and don't seem to be coming back. Gossip Girl is not falling into this category as it was picked up for another season.
Confirmed da Gossip Girl Insider
In fact Gossip Girl did say Goodbye ...to high school.
'The Goodbye Gossip Girl' marked the end of high school and the beginning of college, for Gossip Girl as well. Which could also mean that Gossip Girl is a part of the Serena, Blair, Dan...etc anno group.
