From best show ever to cancel it already, the rise and fall of 'Gossip Girl'.

SPOILERS, obvs.

Remember when 6 years ago 'Gossip Girl' aired and everyone and absolutely everybody loved the show and it was the best thing on TV ever? Well, that didn't last long because after the first season or so (some say after the 2nd), this show turned into a hot mess... and i have to admit i couldn't quit on watching! After the (disastrous/hilarious) show finale and the reveal of who's Gossip Girl, it's time to take a look back and see what were the best and worst things about the show, my guiltiest pleasure, 8 words, 3 letters... whatever, here it is:

How to ruin a show and alienate viewers



So, the first trailer of 'Gossip Girl's show final season is out, with some new footage at the very end of the video... Am i excited? Thank you but no. The last season's finale was so messed up when it comes to Blair, Dan and Chuck that many viewers (and i say many of those very few that are still watching), felt mocked. Because they went back the same old bs they already did thousand times before (Chuck and Blair) instead of going along with a new turn on the show that gave life and something new and cute to it (Dair: Dan and Blair). I'm aware that i sound like a highschool girl or something, but tv shows are my obsession and when i like one a lot, i don't like it to see it ruined.

Anyway, i already expressed my frustration here and since i don't see how this show can end in a good way, one that i like and doesn't suck hard, i'm gonna only say that the show premieres on October 8 and it will only have 11 episodes, there's the vid for you to decide but never forget how funny and cute they were:

RIP Gossip Girl

(It contains spoilers, of course)

So, 'Gossip Girl' started being a really great show with lots of drama, backstabbing, rivalry, gossip, fashion... the first season was absolute perfection. Then, it went downhill with so many Chuck and Blair and their back and forth and Dan and Serena and their boring romance.

So, around season 3 (i think) the show took an interesting spin, with Dan's and Blair's friendship, something that i wouldn't think it would turn into something else but that it did and gave the show life after being the same old repetitive thing. But on the finale... after having a Blair Waldorf who was starting to be her own self, discovering that she didn't need an abusive relationship, who had someone who believed in her no matter what... she goes back to Chuck as her old insecure self! Why would the writers continue with an unhealthy relationship? he traded her for an hotel, nearly raped her and many more things that my Dan Humphrey would never do to her... it's like going back to the same old bullshit over and over again.

The final season will only have 11 episodes and by the looks of it, it won't end as it should. There are interesting things though, like Lily getting back with the immortal Bart Bass and turning into Cece Rhodes, the only legacy that matters. Or that Blair and Serena are back to being mortal enemies like in season 1. If Serena doesn't overdose first, thing that i would cherish. And Dan writing a fierce book from the root of his broken heart with the help of the always fantastic Georgina. But seriously, it's me who has a broken heart, when a show you love and still watch despite losing viewers each week does this über bullshit, it simply hurts to a tv show addict like me. If Dan and Blair weren't end game, why did they made them happen? Their scenes were precious, it looked like the show had a point with this couple and made you want to watch the full show over again to see their beginning, they made me want to have a boyfriend like Dan Humphrey, who i never did care about until now! And never ever i thought before that Blair Waldorf was the dumbest bitch. Until now.

I'm still going to watch the 6th season but this show is pretty much ruined. And my fave character as well.
