Welcome to the 76th week of the Gossip Girl Insider Caption Contest!

It was a difficult decision, but this week's winner is gossip fan.

Congratulations! The winning entry now appears below the picture! Honorable mentions go out to pretential_energy, uknouloveme and JKay.

Thanks to everyone for playing and best of luck again next week ...

No, no! Please, don't kick me off of Gossip Girl. Look! I can film the episodes from now on!

OMG. The Parents Television Council is going to love this.

According to E! Online, it's looking like the Gossip Girl threesome is even racier and more central to the show than was originally reported:

• First, the threesome is featured in not one, but two episodes.
• The big scene takes place Monday night (November 9), but will be recounted with flashbacks the following week, November 16, where we will learn - and watch - even more about what happened during it. 

We think we know who's involved, but the flashback element is something we hadn't considered until now. What do you suppose happens between the participants and what will the fallout be the following week? Share!

Thanks to all the readers who alerted us to this awesome music video promoting next week's episode of Gossip Girl. The Plastiscines perform their song "Bitch" (fitting) set to new clips from "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

Pretty catchy song, and some of the clips (particularly Eric talking about taking Jenny down) may surprise you. Check it out and tell us what you think ...

Yesterday, we posted the two sneak peeks from "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" Now two more have been leaked, shedding more light on the episode.

In the first, Eric catches Jenny working on dance steps for Cotillion, and the two appear to patch things up after a heart-to-heart. At least for the moment.

More on E and J in a little bit. Here's the clip in question ...

The sneak peek after the jump shows Dan and Vanessa conspiring about how to keep Olivia in college with them. Hmm. Are you thinking what we're thinking ...

We posted some sneak previews for you earlier today. Now, below is a photo gallery from next week's Gossip Girl, "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

Not surprisingly, there are no threesome clues (or evidence that it even exists) in these pics. Both to build up the suspense and due to the criticism the show has received from some parents, it's probably for the best.

There are some interesting pictures, however. Like this one ...

What do you suppose brings Nate and Jenny together again?

The much-anticipated Gossip Girl threesome scene in next week's episode of the hit show is coming under criticism from the Parents Television Council (PTC).

The group has released an open letter to The CW that they are objecting to the idea of such scene, which they are claiming is "reckless and irresponsible."

"Gossip Girl routinely depicts teenagers engaging in promiscuous, consequence-free sexual behavior, and that's bad enough," PTC president Tim Winter wrote.

"But will you now be complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers engage in behavior heretofore associated primarily with adult films?"

Should the PTC launch a formal complaint with the government and regulators agree with the PTC about the episode content, the CW could face a large fine.

Rumored threesome participants Dan and Vanessa.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules stipulate that the government may pull "unsatisfactory or unsuitable or contrary to public interest" program.

It is not outside the realm of possibility that the episode could be nixed by the FCC, but we don't see it happening ... unless the scene is way racier than thought.

The episode, "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" airs next week, and while the threesome scene has not been leaked, a couple of promos have hyped it up.

Speculation about it has also been running rampant for weeks.

In concluding its letter of protest, the PTC pleaded to the CW to "ask yourself, how does airing this program serve your obligation to serve the public interest?"

The CW has not publicly responded to the letter but has released two sneak previews from the episode instead. The clips contain no hints of the threesome.

Georgina Sparks has once again left the crazy Gossip Girl kids to recover from her devious ways, but that doesn't mean they are free of her antics for good.

The actress who plays the Evil G, Michelle Trachtenberg, said there are a still many scenarios that could bring her character back to Gossip Girl. She says:

"Georgina, she's taken a little trip away. She's gone off with a Russian prince, or so she thinks. So, there are so many more great things Georgina can do."

"She pretty much just comes in, destroys their lives for a few episodes, and then is like, 'OK, I'm good now. I think I'll go get a massage in the Caribbean.'"

Georgina had been attending NYU with Blair Waldorf, and Trachtenberg said once the two ladies meet up again, there will certainly be another catfight.

"I'm sure. Georgina never lets go of a grudge," she said. "So she'll be getting back at Blair. Which is really funny, because Leighton and I are so close."

Michelle Trachtenberg and Leighton Meester are very close friends in real life, even if their Gossip Girl counterparts, Georgina and Blair, are heated rivals.

Although there are very few people who'd actually sing the praises of Georgina, Trachtenberg is proud to love the bad girl, who she calls "absolutely amazing."

"She is the best character I have ever played. She is so much," she gushed. "Georgina is so incredibly evil, manipulative and pretty much just takes no prisoners, and she doesn't care about the consequences. She is fantastic."

On Trachtenberg's other TV show, Mercy, she plays über-sweet newbie nurse Chloe, but she admits that playing mean girl Georgina is much more fun.

"Villains are definitely more fun than good girls," she said. "They are the ones that wreak havoc, and basically, they kind of run the show."

Below are a couple of sneak peeks from "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?"

While they're not threesome-related or as steamy as that second promo, they do give us a little more insight into what takes place Monday on Gossip Girl.

At least at the beginning. In the first clip, Chuck encourages Blair to mend fences with Serena and be a mentor for Cotillion. It's a pretty cute scene ...

Follow the jump for a second clip of Blair showing up as he suggested, but once again feuding with Serena, with poor Jenny caught in the middle ...

At the end of last night's episode, we all saw the first promo for next week's Gossip Girl, "They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" And, OM3, we know what's in store.

Well, the CW has released a second, longer promo hyping the much-anticipated Gossip Girl threesome. Needless to say, this looks like a seriously hot episode.

Take a look below and share your theories and comments:

While our Gossip Girl forum buzzes with fan reactions, the Insider staff is here to discuss burning questions, funny quotes and hot moments from last night.

Welcome to this week's Gossip Girl Insider Round Table!

Gossip Girl topics from "The Grandfather: Part II" include classic lines, political drama, choosing sides, dubious events, and next week's "OM3" moment ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. What was your favorite Gossip Girl quote from the episode?

DANdy: Vanessa's stinging critique of Nate and his lost "moral compass" forced me to look in the mirror and re-examine my life. Is it best spent cracking wise about a drama on The CW? Thank you, V.

Gossip Guy: I'm not sure if it was the quote or the whole scene, but when Blair called Serena out for being a prostitute and S responded by shoving her face into the cake? So Gossip Girl, so awesome.

Mister Meester: Dan, in response to his sick sister coughing, saying that he needs a SARS mask. Only Dan would bust out a 2003 news story reference in the midst of the current, more severe H1N1 flu pandemic.

2. Team Serena or Team Blair?

DANdy: Team Serena. I was on Team Blair until The CW previewed Leighton Meester's "Somebody to Love" music video. Yikes! The only thing she should be doing in the back of limos is straddling Chuck.

Gossip Guy: Sorry Blair, I'm gonna have to go with the boobs on this one. Plus Serena really didn't do anything that wrong in my opinion and did apologize to Blair. Did I mention she has a great rack?

Mister Meester: Team Blair. Yeah, she's being a little too hard on S, and considering this is a frenemy fight that will be resolved eventually, she wins by virtue of having the best zingers. Plus, look at my username. I'm biased.
