'Gossip Girl' Identity Finally Revealed in Series Finale: Did They Wait Too Long to Let Us Know?

For six years, fans have been watching every twist and turn of the antics of the socialites from the Upper East Side of Manhattan. But Monday night, “Gossip Girl” ended its run with the biggest surprise of all. Spoiler alert: “Gossip Girl” is, in fact, a boy!

That’s right after seasons of speculation, the producers revealed in the last few minutes of the finale that Lonely Boy himself, Dan Humphrey, had started the blog in an attempt to infiltrate Serena van der Woodsen’s world.



So now "Gossip Girl" devotees can pack up their theories that Dorota done-it and cut Jenny Humphrey some slack. Neither of the two were spreading the rumors after all -- although Dan did admit that his little sister was aware of his scheme for a long time.

The primetime soap’s send-off also included lots of shockers. There was a Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass wedding. And a look into the future revealed Nate Archibald’s potential run for Mayor of New York, Dan and Serena’s trip down the aisle and Lily’s rekindled romance with her ex-husband William. Oh, and Rufus apparently finds love with Lisa Loeb.

But nothing was more of a shocker than finding out that Dan was behind the online trash talking. And with that, the series came to an end with a resounding “XOXO.” But did the show wait too long to let its audience know who "Gossip Girl" really was?

    For me, I wasn't really thinking about who Gossip Girl was until they like brought it up but I was more focused on how "she" knew everything like things with Chuck and Blair's accident other personal stuff. I think it was a good season finale and the show really wouldn't be as exciting it they exposed Gossip Girl that episode when they graduated and was on a mission to find out who she was or any other episode for that matter. The identity would be revealed and there will be no more gossip. It was a good end its so sad that it ended. I still remember when they 1st advertised it playing the song Glamorous in the background and Blair telling Serena that she found that Serena had sex with Nate.I'm going to mess it though and i can't believe Dan is GG although it did make sense.

    I never saw this show. But the posts make me curious. Probably be around in re-runs but I doubt if I will get around to it. Old movies on TCM are worth watching.

    I'm not sure, I loveed gossip girl season 1 and 2, season 3 was a bit of drag for me and I watched the end half of season 4 and about 2 episodes of season 5. I was losing interest of the show but I did watch the last gossip girl episode just to find out who gossip girl was. I was happy overall with the episode although I didn't go for some of the relationships that ended up being 'endgame'. It was a nice ending for the show. I was so happy they brought in Kristen bell :)

    Well it would've been pointless to have continued the series if everyone knew who Gossip Girl was. I kinda figured it was Dan after the third season. There were so many instances where I was wondering why he got the better half of the gossip spread about him. At first I thought it was Dorota (like Blair and everyone else it seems) but she was kind of too faithful to Blair and I didn't think she'd say half the things Gossip Girl said about her.

    I only watched the first three seasons and maybe two last season and I only watched the season premier but it sucked so I just waited for the finale. It was fun while it lasted but I won't miss it.

    I thought it was Dorotha!!!
    They obviously knew I was on to them and made it seem as if Dan was it, but really DOROTHA was meant to be Gossip Girl!!!!

    I was a huge fan but after the whole Chuck getting shot and ending up in France thing I kinda stopped watching and missed everything, so this is a huge surprise. They could have kept it a secret and just never revealed the true identity.

    My sister started telling me the interesting bit halfway through the 3rd season. She told me the end before she even watched it. Chuck Bass season 1 was the best thing in the show after that- or season 2- it got boring and tedious...
