Finally. The most anticipated Gossip Girl episode of the year airs tonight.

Granted, it's only the fifth day of 2009, but still. We've been looking forward to "In the Realm of the Basses" for quite some time - and we don't think we're alone.

What else do you think and hope will happen in tonight's episode?
