Welcome to New York's Upper East side where the wealthy and connected mingle at benefits and try to deal with their always dramatic love lives, not to mention picking colleges. Blair Waldorf is the so-called toast of adolescence in her world; she and her friends, Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates, go to a prep school and fancy parties with their rich parents. Blair is envied by her adversaries because she is thought to have the perfect life, not just because of her gorgeous boyfriend, Nate Archibald, but because she's also planning on getting into her dream college,Yale. With everyone worried about college(or procrastinating on worrying, which everyone seems to be doing), and senior year dragging along, her seemingly perfect life is interrupted by her ex-best friend, the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen, coming back into town after getting kicked out of boarding school.

Yes, this show is extreme cheese to the max but there's not enough good shows going around at the moment so I'm gonna check this out. The main reason I bothered with this in the first place is Blake Lively. You might remember this blonde glamour from such films as Accepted and Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants. She's absolutely gorgeous. LOL.

So yeah, expect lots of cheesey scenes with heaps of bitchyness if you're gonna check this out. One thing that was beyond cringe-worthiness was the voice-over of "gossip girl", who is played by Kristen Bell. You don't see her at all but thru-out the ep she starts talking to the viewer regarding the actions taking place on screen. But this whole thing is based on the "best selling" novel so maybe that's what happens in the books as well. I would have preferred if they left it out altogether.

First ep came out a few days ago if anyway is gonna take the plunge.

You're a tard, and there's plenty of good shows available. The girl is indeed hot, but pretty much every show aired ever has token hot girls.

I can't exactly remember how it's done in the books. I think Gossip Girl has a bit at the start of every chapter. Therefore, a voice over would be similar to that in she introduces each scene. Personally, while I'll probably keep watching GG the TV-Show it needs a few more watches. That being said, I appreciated the modernising done in the TV-Show.
