Gossip Girl Podcast: "Southern Gentlemen Prefer Blondes"
Gossip Girl gets back in its groove this week with this tale of double-crosses, jealousy, cons and bad decisions. No, it's not perfect, but there's enough to keep Mia and I happy. (Poor Jackie was rendered speechless by the fact that Rufus bought a ring for another woman. How could he!)
But wait! There just happens to be a room full of Manhattan's money'd elite inteh next room, and they LOVE investing in unknown ventures! And guess what -- that's just hte point. This was all a con that Gabriel and Poppy were pulling on Serena and her ilk They even managed to sucker Rufus out of Dan's college tuition. to convince Serena she's wrong, Chuck and Blair travel out to the religious commune where Georgina Sparks is now hanging out. They need her to prove that Gabriel has his facts wrong.She declines -- she's got too much love in her heart for all her fellow creatures! -- until Chuck invokes Blair. That convinces Georgina that maybe a trip to the city wouldn't be a bad thing.
Meanwhile, Nate and Blair are trying to figure out how to navigate going to colleges at opposite ends of the city, and Nate decides the best option is to get an apartment situated squarely between the two -- and to forbid Chuck from ever seeing Blair again. Plus, Rufus gets some bad news, Vanessa spills some awful info, and Rufus goes ring shopping.
There's more, of course: Check out my grand conspiracy theory, and hear Mia's objections. Find out Mia's impossible dream, get our reaction to Blair's fear of subways, weigh in on whether Lily is addicted to marriage, and discover what Dan did to merit our praise.

IMO, the last two episodes have been the best of the season! I LOVE all the converstaions and that all the main characters are interacting with each other. Also, I have to admit,the spin off looks like it might be really good! Love Brittney Snow.

I doubt it but it could happen because he looked reluctante to take Rufus' money.
So Mia tell us what you really think of Serena. lol I loved the words you used.
Jackie is gonna hate me for this but Rufus is such an idiot. For the past few episodes he's been going on about money at yet he's thrown what's left of his money (I think) into Gabriel's scheme, man that's smart. lol
Blair and the subway was just awesome for me. I loved her line" please don't make me do this"
And yay Georgina is looks like things are about to pick up on the upper east side.
great podcast as always

I don't think that Gabriel is R&L's child because if you remember Dan knew their child somehow because he wrote something for Dan to be able to get in to Yale.
Just what I thought... but I could be wrong.

Did they say that they had given him the money already?
I thought they were just putting speculation numbers into the computer and Rufus was the only one that gave him cash.
And I thought Lily wanted nothing from Bart? Now she's investing Chuck's money? Biotch.
