Effective immediately, the Spoilers Board Moderators reserve the right to temporarily close any thread that does not heed four official warnings given on any issue. This means that, if the Spoilers Board Moderators have to come in with four official warnings about any issue whatsoever, within 24 hours or so, then that particular thread will be temporarily closed. The duration of closure is subject to the Spoilers Board Moderators' discretion. Upon re-opening of the temporarily closed thread, said thread will be closed again if any warnings are given within 24-48 hours of the reopening. Lastly, if numerous warnings need to be given over the course of a week, and the moderators suspect an attempt to get around the "four warnings" rule to avoid closure, we reserve the right to temporarily close the thread.

Season two continues with Serena's rising social status, as she becomes a New York City It Girl. Taking Manhattan by storm seems a fun distraction, but when elements of her bad-girl personality begin to emerge, will Serena's newfound status fuel bad habits? Plus, as Serena and Dan struggle to come to terms with their breakup, Dan unwittingly crosses Serena, and he sees what she is really capable of. Dan also acquires a mentor — a literary lion who urges him to explore his grittier side. But will he lose his moral compass?

Blair dates someone out of her league and is dealt a severe betrayal. This won't be the only betrayal Blair will face, as someone close to her threatens her queen bee status. However, Blair will dish up ill will of her own — no one leaves her in Tuscany, certainly not Chuck Bass … Meanwhile, Chuck demonstrates how truly Machiavellian he can be, as he helps facilitate the fall of one queen bee and the rise of another. Chuck and Blair's love-hate relationship rises to new levels; he regrets his decision to leave her, and tries to make everyone — including Blair — pay for his mistake.

Nate shocks everyone with a scandalous new relationship with a sexy older woman, all the while trying to deal with the consequences of his father jumping bail. How will Nate handle these newfound financial woes? What schemes or dreams will he come up with to make money?

Jenny continues her Cinderella story, substituting Blair for her mother, Eleanor, and a job at Eleanor's atelier. Jenny also develops a friendship with a model who gets her in over her head in the dark, adult world of fashion. This girl is the fun, wild friend who pulls Jenny away from family and school and into the night … something Rufus is not happy about.

Vanessa's life gets turned around by the return of her unstable sister, a force whose wrongs Vanessa is always trying to right. Plus, she gets pulled back into Nate's drama, and, though she tries to be a good friend to him, it is hard on her. Vanessa opens the door a bit more to her life and why she is the way she is. She also gets a job that brings her closer to the world of Rufus.

Rufus, meanwhile, has returned from tour with the realization that the dreams he gave up haven't left his mind. He'll have to choose which path he wants to follow. Rufus starts to date again, something that brings him into conflict with Lily. He is also in conflict with Jenny, over her future, and with Dan, and Dan's new attitude to live more and take bigger risks.

Lily returns from a three-month globetrotting honeymoon as Mrs. Bart Bass to find herself thrust into a new level of Manhattan society — and all the privileges and pressures that come with it. The public unveiling of the new apartment — palace or gilded cage? — lends incredible stress and Lily starts to question the choices she's made. She also finds out that her new husband knows more about her than she thought, as he attempts to clean up and contain her past. Lily's attempts to maintain some type of relationship with Rufus and escape from the mundane duties of a society wife force Rufus to draw the line, and, for the first time in their history, Lily finds that she's the one rebuffed.

Through it all, Gossip Girl is there. Keeping track of the shifting friendships, jealousies and turmoil in this wealthy and complex world isn't easy, but it's what Gossip Girl does best (always with an X and an O).

Based upon the book by Cecily von Ziegesar, Gossip Girl, which has already won two Teen Choice Awards for Choice TV Show – Drama and Choice TV Breakout Show and garnered a legion of fashion-forward fans, was developed by Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage and is executive produced by Schwartz, Savage, Leslie Morgenstein and Bob Levy.

Episode 2.17: Carrnal Knowledge
Airdate: February 2, 2009
Description: BLAIR IS IN THE MOOD FOR A LITTLE REVENGE - In retaliation for not playing by the unspoken rules of Constance Billard, Blair (Leighton Meester) hatches a plan to bring down her teacher, Rachel (guest star Laura Breckenridge), and it's going to be good. After Chuck (Ed Westwick) wakes up in a hotel and only has a minor recollection of what happened the previous evening and who he spent the evening with, Nate (Chace Crawford) and Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) try to help him fill in the missing pieces of what is turning out to be an increasingly intriguing mystery. Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Taylor Momsen, Kelly Rutherford and Matthew Settle also star.
Promo & Sneak Peeks:
Writer: Alexandra McNally & Lenn K. Rosenfeld
Director: Liz Allen

Kristin said what?:
- A huge core couple will get back together unexpectedly and it's guaranteed to make you cry.
- The love child will come back late season 2 or early season 3.
- Dan and Serena will continue to go in circle for a few episodes before Dan gets involved with the teacher.
- Nate and Vanessa will be going strong. She will help him a bit with the Chuck situation.
- Georgina will most likely be back in the last third of the season.
- They are working on getting Michelle Trachtenberg back towards the end of the season for another guest appearance.
- Part of Nate's journey in growing up might have something to do with Blair.
- CB are done for now. They will be attending 3 different colleges. It gets a little Eyes Wide Shut.

Ausiello scoops:
- Nate gets a rich, married, Vanderbilt cousin in his 20s.
- Serena and Anne Hathaway will have something in common.
- Lily and Rufus' love child will appear on the show in April or May. Apparently the gender has not yet been decided.
- Laura Breckenridge is playing Rachel Carr, a young teacher who will have a conflict with Blair. Minimum 3 episodes.
- Georgina, Blair, and Serena will work together in a future storyline.
- The show is casting the possibly recurring role of an "unassumingly cute" 16-year-old male. Sounds like Jenny's getting a new suitor!
- Gossip Girl will have 25 episodes this season!

Interviews:
- - SpoilerTV says: Blair will take down Rachel Carr in 2.17, while Chuck wakes up in a hotel with no knowledge of the previous night.
- - According to Stephanie: Dan and Blair will play each other's love interests, and Serena will have a big story line at the end of the season that will include one of Blair's biggest foes.
- - According to Stephanie: They will be doing prom and graduation. Georgina is coming back near the end of the season.
- - According to Stephanie Savage: Vanessa will go to college; Nate and Blair will continue to be friends; Dan and Blair will star in a school play together; Nate will feel a pull towards " the people he started his journey with" and surprising feelings will come to the surface.
- - According to Josh: "Certain times a situation is so dire that it requires the assistance of even your most sworn enemy. It just might come to pass that Serena and Blair find themselves in a situation where they have no recourse other than to recruit Georgina Sparks."

Magazines:
- - According to OK Magazine, Kate French will be appearing as a nanny that "gets involved" with Chuck.
- - According to New York Magazine:
Next season will be college, but some characters won't be attending.
Lily will not be pregnant.

Unknown sources, but reliable, nonetheless:
- Everyone but Chuck is affected by the Hot Teacher
- Blair will have an internal conflict regarding her college decision, Chuck, and her future.
- Someone might be pregnant, but it's not Serena, Lily or Jenny.
- Chuck's secret about his mother will come back. More people will find out and it will be sad.
- The wedding will not be Eleanor and Cyrus. They are deciding between three couples. (PraesseM)
- The writers will not have RL be endgame, because it interferes too much with DS. (PraesseM)
- Blair’s bulimia is back as an upcoming issue, with Chuck finding out and taking about how they would support each other forever. (PraesseM)
- Blair will need Chuck in an upcoming episode, but it might not have to do with her eating disorder.
- There will be some flashbacks coming but they aren't going to be the entire episode. (PraesseM for the above)

EVERYONE, please, respect the opinions of people that you don't agree with when it comes to couples or characters (and this is for ALL of us). We can all agree to disagree and do it respectfully. We've done it before. Character and actor bashing is not acceptable. But stating that you lost your love for a character, or that you hate a character for whatever reason isn't bashing, either. It's an opinion, and we're ALL entitled to having one. So let's have fun and and engage in healthy debates without resorting to petty insults or name-calling.

I am going to repost this:

ICA with you Shu about RL

Not only that Shu, and this is not to bash RL at all. I just think DS are the generation to get it right. We have seen Dan fight for S and in front of Cece and her world. He stuck it out for her and thier love. I just think IF it is RL vs DS, it will be DS for more than 1 reason.

As for why I dont like RL, I did. I really liked them in season 1 but after awhile and with her being with Bart, but not actually "with" Bart I didnt feel like they were a good couple. I think L should have at least tried with B and I know she loved R more, but like Shu said the child comes first and I feel like DS have given up more for RL than RL for DS. And this isnt to be mean to their fans or the actors that portay them, because they do a great job, its the writing. I dont hvae a problem with the RL pairing but thier parenting when together is not good because I feel like they are selfish. Just my opinion though

How does it make no sense? In my opinion the spin off is a way to appease the RL fans with an endgame on the spin off show between the kid versions because the adult versions wont work out. If RL was going to end up together on gossip girl there would be no need to show their love story on a spin off when they could show it on gossip girl.....

lilylovesrufus · 01-26-2009, 04:01 PM

how suited the title

hm, i find the right solution would be for rufly not break up but maybe to wait until dan and serena are on college and move together, rufly should accept this and lily should more there be for her kids... her son,,,
maybe rufus and lily should be at first only friends, i know this will not function but they should make slowly.. then they should talk with dan and serena about this all, and then both can live their love and darena can live their love too,,

i think so,,

Just stoping by to say how amazed I am at some people who were actively bashing a possible CB wedding on the pretense they hated teen marriages now squealing over a DS one
