Gabbing Gilmore: A Gilmore Girls Deep Dive

Rory Gilmore is playing dress-up for her boyfriend, and we’ve gotta unpack this! You can’t forget the Donna Reed night. The pearls, the dinner, the apron. But also, why did Rory go to all this trouble? Was it an apology, or a challenge? 
That Damn Donna Reed episode of Gilmore Girls brings up tons of questions: did Dean Forrester always want a tradwife? Did Rory simply parrot Lorelai’s opinions? Was this a healthy argument for two teenagers newly in love, or a surefire sign that were all wrong for each other? 
Today we dig deep into gender roles, 1950s TV shows, teenage love, feminine domesticity, Betty Friedan, Rory’s evolving feminism, and even Love is Blind. Grab your green jello and get ready for some fun!

We’ve long suspected that Jess Mariano is an Enneagram 4 - the individualist, the romantic. But today we’re going deep to see if we’re right! ✨ This is an excerpt from a paid episode - to access the full episode, join our Patreon, where you’ll get extra bonus episodes every month at patreon.com/gabbinggilmore ✨
Jess wears a leather jacket, loves to read, and skips school a lot, but does this actually translate into his personality type? We also know that he hates chit chat, withdraws in times of stress, and has a deep feeling that he’s different from everyone else, or that something’s wrong with him. 
Knowing his personality type definitely would’ve helped Liz, Luke, Rory, (and even Lorelai!) understand him better. In today’s Gilmore Girls deep dive, we analyze Jess through the enneagram, including his stress and security points, and his wing (can we say Bohemian?!). And most importantly, why he’s so dang awesome in Season 6 and A Year in the Life.
