The producers of Gossip Girl channeled Britney in last night’s episode, which included three main characters getting down and dirty in the same bed at the same time. That’s right ladies and gentlemen, a threesome. Before the episode began, the annoying press lady for KCWI came on and explained that this episode would contain content for mature audiences and that parents should make the decision now of whether their teens should watch the episode. Now, maybe it’s just me, but after hearing a disclaimer like that, I’m expecting something epic, even though watching three people bumping uglies on national television is not something I’m particularly interested in.

The episode was a let down in two main ways. First, why is Dan the choice male for the threesome? The only character on that show that would have been a worse candidate is Eric…or Rufus. Ew. Chuck or Nate would have been so much hotter, not to mention more believable. Tangent, but Hilary Duff needs to make her exit from Gossip Girl asap. I still see her as Lizzie McGuire and I’m pretty sure Lizzie would have never participated in a threesome with Gordo and Miranda. The choice of Vanessa, Dan, and Olivia was one of the more odd groupings I could have thought of. Second, the disclaimer wasn’t even necessary. We saw beginnings aka some mouth to mouth action (while a slower and softer cover of “Whatever You Like” played in the background) and then the morning after. I’m pretty sure they are allowed to show that content in PG movies. It’s not like I wanted a Gossip Girl reminiscent of a soft-porn movie, but if you’re going to start an episode with a warning like that, at least live up to it.

You let me down a little last night Gossip Girl. I am only hoping that the future will bring less Duff, more Chuck Bass, and no more menage a trois.
