Hey, Upper East Siders, this just in: another feisty season with the gossip queens of Gossip Girl is on its way. Letโs look at the original show versus the new show.
That time they MET
Then
Spotted! Former besties Blair and Serena face off on the MET steps after Serenaโs unexpected return from boarding school. Blair marks her territory as Queen Bee and tells Serena sheโs not invited to an upcoming party. Serena doesnโt back down and suggests they meet later that night at The Palace Hotel. Oh B, donโt you know not to mess with THE Serena van der Woodsen?
Now
Julien aka JC catches a glimpse of her half-sister Zoya on the MET steps and makes sure the young one knows she is the new Queen Bee. She invites Zoya to an exclusive club with ulterior motives in mind, channelling her true Queen Bee vibes and showing just how villainous she can be. Careful JC, your crown can fall off just as easily as it was put on.
Parties that go off with a bang!
ย Then
The kiss-and-tell partyโs the place to be, and Iโm kissing and telling all! Everyoneโs dressed to the nines, and this is where the infamous Chuck Bass meets the innocent Jenny Humphrey. When lonely boy Dan Humphrey comes to his sisterโs rescue, the kiss-and-tell party quickly turns into a kiss-and-punch showdown!ย
Now
Julien has a wild night out to showcase her newly updated bachelorette status and bites off more than she can chew when she takes dangerous drugs. Meanwhile, Max has caught it all on a live video for her fans to see! Poor JC, she always loved the limelight, but it often comes with a high price.
Fashion show sabotageย
Thenย
Sabotage is best worn by villains. Blair gets jealous when her mother asks Serena to model her designer dress at her fashion show. She swops it out with a dress from a different designer, making Serena strut the catwalk in the wrong dress. Sneaky B, your villainous ways never go out of fashion.
Now
The sibling rivalry never ends with Julien and Zoya. Big sis summons her minions to sabotage Zoya at a fashion show by having them send a nude photo of Max from Zoyaโs phone to the entire audience, thus having Zoya kicked out. Poor Zoya; while big sis struts the catwalk in victory, little sis did the walk of shame.ย
The catfights
ย Then
Yale was always Blairโs big dream and when Serena also makes the visit to her dream college, all hell breaks loose. The heated confrontation ends in a catfight โฆ weโre talking hair pulling, scratching, and all. The two then decide itโs best to part ways. Ooh, we love frenemy rivalry.ย
ย Now
Who knew the debutantes came dressed to kill? When Julien finds out that Monet invited her dad to the debutante ball without telling her, they face off in one epic catfight resulting in all the debutantes having a big brawl. Careful ladies, Cinderella lost her glass slipper, but you could lose your reputation.ย
