It’s hard being a teenage girl. And even harder if you’re focused, driven, and a high-achiever like Paris with only one goal in mind - Harvard. Paris believes that her prestigious, elite private school, Chilton Academy will help her get there.

But when college acceptance letters arrive, she’s shocked. What happens later that evening at the Chilton bicentennial is… well, pretty disastrous.

Today, on Gabbing Gilmore, sisters Jackie and Catherine dig into a Gilmore Girls moment that is simultaneously cringey, heartbreaking, and witty. In short, a train wreck that we can’t NOT gape at!

We discuss:

• Why this moment was so difficult for Paris
• Whether it was really tied to her sex life or not (why did she actually use the word sl%t)
• How other characters could have done better - we’re looking at you, Headmaster Charleston and Richard Gilmore!
• How Paris’s bedroom gave us clues about her inevitable breakdown
• Whether her infamous interview could have been avoided….

… and more!

Join us for the Best of Gabbing Gilmore! Emily Gilmore is a complicated, often controlling woman who doesn’t usually show a warm-and-fuzzy side. (Especially with her daughter.)

But throughout the Gilmore Girls series, we get glimpses of her softer vulnerability. Remember when she tried to buy a plane? How about that road trip to Mia's wedding?

Here are 10 times Emily broke us. Get out your tissues, townies! Jackie and Catherine dig up some of the most poignant moments today.

Paris Geller isn’t the only student to get involved with a professor on teen dramas. Today, sisters Jackie and Catherine explore the many (many, many) teen shows of the ‘90s and early 2000s that featured teacher-student relationships.

There are almost too many shows to count. In addition to Gilmore Girls, we chat about Dawson’s Creek, Felicity, My So-Called Life, One Tree Hill, The O.C., Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars - whew!

First of all, why is this such a common theme on teen dramas? How has our notion of consent, and what’s appropriate, changed over the years?

We discuss whether these shows romanticize kids wanting to grow up quickly, teacher harassment, and how scandalous events of the late nineties inspired these ripped-from-the-headlines stories.

And, excuse us, but did the girl from Pretty Little Liars actually marry her teacher??

This is a topic best for adults, so if young ears are listening, we’d recommend popping in some headphones or airpods. Also, if topics like grooming and S.A. are tough for you, treat yourself kindly.

Let’s talk about Jess Mariano, the mysterious boy who arrives in Stars Hollow from the big city.

His arrival is bumpy to say the least! From stealing garden gnomes to a phony murder outside of Doose’s Market, the presence of Jess really shakes up this small, quaint Connecticut town.

Today, sisters, Jackie and Catherine dive into Jess Mariano‘s early days in Stars Hollow, including the reactions of Luke, Lorelai, Rory, Taylor, and the town.

Did Jess ever plan to give it a chance? Did Lorelai say too much too soon? Let’s get into it!

We’re back with Part 2 of 2 in this bonus episode recap of the 90-minute Winter episode of Gilmore Girls, A Year in The Life.

We get into Rory’s career as a 32 year-old: is this the journalist dream she had imagined? Why is she in London so much, and why isn’t Lorelai giving more advice? Plus, does Mitchum know about the “affair”?

Pop culture references abound and, of course, we have to dissect them. From 10,000 steps to the Les Miserables movie and everything in between.

Finally, we get serious, too. There are some tear-jerking moments in Winter so grab your tissues!
