Gossip Girl Turned Reality TV Show

Gossip Girl Turned Reality TV Show

Casting call fliers for a “Gossip Girl reality TV series” are currently being handed out in Manhattan neighborhoods. Spies over at TV Guide spotted fliers being handed out on the Upper West Side.

Here’s what the casting flier says:

“Are you the real Gossip Girl? Maybe an adorable Seth Cohen (The O.C.) prepster who hates TV? Either way, we’d love to chat with you. We’re looking for NYC prep-schoolers for a reality show [to air on] a major youth-oriented network.”

MTV? The CW? Nickelodeon?

WHAT DO YOU THINK about a Gossip Girl reality tv series — HIT or FLOP?

# 8

NOOOO I didn’t understand very well,but Gossip Girl is a TV series will be not de same!!!

well, the series isn’t even a hit … so this will definetly flop … and i think it has already been done, i mean; tommy hilfiger’s daughter had a mtv show called rich girls or something … set in NYC…

i have to agree on the flop…
the tv series is so great nothing can beat it…
and there are too many reality shows right now.

oh… and they could never find guys as hot as the ones on the tv series….=)

reality is always a flop for me.

no gossip girl wont be the same

FLOP!!!! that show sucks. we need a jamie lynn spears reality show!!!

I’m sure if they put it on MTV it would do fine. But do we really need another scripted reality show? no.

FLOP!!!

The whole Laguna Beach thing is played out, that was a onetime thing and everyone I know is sick of that type of stuff.

the_boyfriend @ 12/21/2007 at 2:01 pm

Hit!
I can easily get addicted to crap like this..so can u!

lillytwist @ 12/21/2007 at 2:22 pm

I think it will be a hit.

Think of all the kids who loved Laguna Beach.
New York and rich kids will always be a famous combination.

I’m not sure if it would be a hit or flop just that I would not be interested.

NOOOOOOOOO

definately flop

i think its way to soon for that…look at the o.c. and laguna beach , laguna got more popular and the o.c. got cancelled…i hope that doesnt happen to gossip girl…((FAV SHOW)))

this reeks of MTV from a mile away. they did the same with “The OC”. i knew they would try it with “Gossip Girl” sooner or later.

hit, only because people will watch anything. even that space monster tila tasomeshiit on mtv had a hit show.

total flop!

FLOP! FLOP! FLOP!

terrable idea
flop!

Pilot_inspektor @ 12/21/2007 at 4:34 pm

lol most likely to be an MTV show…

gossip girl is tha show!

Wings4Music @ 12/21/2007 at 4:45 pm

well, the scripted Gossip Girl is terrible so the reality version would be worse. Seriously, where are the quality shows!

Wings4Music @ 12/21/2007 at 4:45 pm

well, the scripted Gossip Girl is terrible so the reality version would be worse. Seriously, where are the quality shows!

FLOP !

It can’t be half as good as the series !

This has happened at my school a girl has come up with a website and is pretending to be Gossip Girl and she’s writing about EVERYONE in my grade!!!!

skinny-bitch @ 12/21/2007 at 5:19 pm

aghhhhh! FLOP soo SICK of reality tv!!!

i don’t get it?
how could it be reality.
like the hills or something?
idk sounds kinda lame

I want to say it will be a flop, but if Laguna Beach is any indication, it will be a huge hit. :(

FLOP because you know the really old money don’t actually talk about it.

if they did do this, it woud be best on mtv.
cuz it would be weird on cw.
and nickelodeon? they have no shows like that.
plus if they really make it like gossip girl, like sex and stuff
then its deffff. not for nick!

that sucks “happened”

Hit
but to it be more interesting,you have to put prep-schoolers from all of the world. It’s will be fun .
That’s what I think.
xoxo ;*

hi!
I’m Fabiana.. I’m from Maldonado in Uruguay and I 14 years old..
well… CHACE CRAWFORD is so hot… and so very CUTE!!!
post me in .. http://www.fotolog.com/gossipgirl_nate
kisses!!

bye!

Serena & Nate … ♥ Love Forever ♥

AWESOME!!!!!!

HIT it will be a little different from the other reality show cuz the rest are all filmed in California. plus if MTV plays it then it will be good.

haha, a “seth cohen prepster who hates tv”

i personally LOVE!!! this tv show and think it is a HIT!!!!!. If they ancel this show i may have a serious problem with the network.

ugh there are way too many shows like this.
a definite FLOP! don’t do it.
ugh seriously, it’ll ruin gossip girl.

This is stupid! stupid stupid stupid! Sadly, it was bound to happen. How different can it be from Laguna Beach excpet the setting? It’ll be a hit, which says alot about America.

must they ruin every show with an idiotic reality counterpart. at least their turning away from my neighborhhood, those of us that actually live in the REAL orange county are getting tired of it. my condolences to all those non attention whores in NYC, cuz you are next. and trust me it sux!!!

Ashley Roberts @ 12/22/2007 at 12:01 am

unfortunately it would be a hit.
gossip girl is too good, don’t ruin it with real stuff.

it might be phenomenally lame & get old fast, but i never underestimate how stupid people are so i’m saying hit, unfortunately.

well if it turns out to be like laguna season 3.then it’ll definitely be a FLOP! too much bitching and drama is -.-

nooo! i dont liek reality tv shows anywyas

THAT IS A TOTAL FLOP! is going to suck because everybody loves the TV serie and that thing is going to mess up the gossip girl franchise is going to be CRAZYYY!!! nobody would understand :(

FLOP. The only people who would actually participate would be the non-Waldorf/van der Woodsen/Archibald types, because the actual old money families wouldn’t want their kids exposing their secrets. So we’ll get stuck with a bunch of posers who just happen to go to NYC private schools and are, let’s face it, either nouveau riche or no riche, and thus less scandalous and fun to watch.

FLOP!!
I guess it should just stick to the TV Series.

xoxo

no i think they should just stick with the tv series

flop for sure. I think the tv series is succesful and all, but teaching
kids who are going to watch this about a reality gossip girl, BIG MISTAKE. This will be taken too far and teach kids the wrong way
of how to socialize or make friends. At least with the series it is
fictional, but coming through with this, will change some of the viewers
minds or maybe even actions. Unfortunatley, i think people are willing
to watch anything these days, but it is a horrible idea.

HITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

hey, i’m not sure..i love the show but i don’t really like reality shows. but people were willing to watch “I love inflammatory diseases”..oh I mean “I love New York”, so you never know what the world is ready for!

hasthefat @ 12/23/2007 at 2:11 am

gossip girl is the best

I live on the UES and the idea of these people being nurtured or publicized more than they already are, makes me want to go to givenchy and puke on everyone.

Just sounds like the prep school version of Laguana Beach…..It’s gonna suck.

nopeeee, i lovee gossip girl the way it is, turn it into a reality show no one’s gonna watch itt

the viral facebook casting solicitations say that the producers themselves went to the very schools that Constance Billard is supposed to mimic. def. a HIT.

flop!i don`t like that idea….i looooove that show and i don`t want it to get cancelled like the o.c. ……toootal flop!!!!

MTV…they turn everything into trash…aka reality tv.

Huge flop! I love the normal TV series. If they put a reality TV series of Gossip Girl, I WILL kill the creators! :)

THAT IS SOOOOO STUPID! It will a) ruin the books b) ruin the tv show.

NYCchiq38 @ 12/31/2007 at 4:01 pm

wouldnt it be like laguna beach except here in NY with traffic skyscrapers and hotels…i mean i’d love to see drama within the New York socialites (without actually seeing them in bikinis with surfboards) but then again thats wat justjared is for….we have enough Paris Hiltons running around …maybe youger teenage high schools might be fun…i mean i dont think it wud be a flop at all…but tryna hit it head on with the actual show..i mean the show isnt as close with the book now adding actual teenage socialites….hmm maybe

it just might be a success
as long as u dont try and pair it up with
Gossip Girl on Wednesday Nights =]
maybe on Monday (im sort of tired of GIrlfriends)
but yea…now that i do thnk bout it its a creative idea
i mean we see them all the time…now just put them in
front of the camera =]

HITTTT!!!! everyone i no got addicted to this show, i mean i dont think it will last for long, but for now its deff a hit for now….

I go to a school for which Gossip Girl was based on. There is most likely not going to be a reality series because the inter-city schools (the private schools in manhattan) won’t allow it. A bunch of schools were asked a few months ago if a reality series could be filmed and we turned them down. If this does happen it will be a flop because filming inside the schools where most of the”action” happens will not be allowed.
