Gossip Girls the "new" OC?

It feels as if I am the only girl on this planet who hasn't seen the new episodes from the brand new serie "Gossip Girls"? Many of my female and male (!) friends have been watching the episodes for a couple of weeks now and it feels as if I have so much to catch up with.

Besides, I read on a blog I don't remember where but it said that "Gossip Girls" is the new "OC"? Is it true? I find that hard to believe, I loved the OC but haven't seen the new serie yet, but I will tonight!

So I think I should watch it and I will give you my opinion later. Have a great day/evening!
