I think Kendra looks really hot when she's all done up. Even without makeup and hair done, she still looks hot, but kind of skanky. The calendar set-ups are the same dopey shit that Playboy's been doing for a zillion years. Guys don't care about the background -- they just want to see naked hot chicks and Kendra fits the bill. As long as Kendra's done up, the set up doesn't matter.

The other 2 are such mental cases, I can't get past that. Holly's been locked up in that mansion for 6 years??? And how long has Bridget been acting like a 6 year old? These 2 are serious loons!!

Kendra is someone I'd check out if she did her makeup decently and darkened her hair a shade or two.

I'm talking, though, as if I didn't know Kendra was Kendra and had her personality. I would definitely go partying with her over the two, but I don't know if I'd do anything else with her than that.

Kendra's hair is looking better in the previews for next week and in the interviews she did for this week's show. How awesome was it for them to get custom Burton boards?!

I blame this board, though, for ruining Bridget for me. WTF is up with her stupid snow bunny costume? And all she wanted to do was go to the ice castle? She was my favorite the first season, I don't know how I missed this stuff before.

Not that this is any sort of revelation, but Kendra needs to shake her booty right out the mansion door and shack up with some extreme sports guy who'll race her down Mt. Everest. "Dating" an 81-year-old, aside from being generally creepy, can't be very much fun for an adrenaline junkie. How do you go from snowboarding with Shaun White to wondering if Hef's going to break his hip on the way to his bottle of viagra?

Did anyone notice the looks of tension at the dinner table? Holly said something about knowing that Kendra would want an elk something or other for dinner and Kendra gave her a DEATH look that i've never seen her give before! And then there were like 3 minutes of tension. Izabella's book was very informative even though she really annoyed me with all her talk about Poland ( I completely skipped her little autobiography). I HATE Holly and Bridget now and I definitely notice the little conniving things they do on the show.

OMG, the tension at the dinner table was HYSTERICAL!!!!!! They could barely look at each other, let alone have a convo. That "what goal are you going to reach tomorrow" speech Kendra gave was fake, fake, fake. I used to hate Kendra, but she is actually looking the best out of all of the "ladies." Bridget is looking her age. Yech.

Remember that song, "She Blinded Me With Science"? Shaun White on a snowboard = freaking poetry in motion. What is he, part orangutan?

I don't exactly know why, but I really enjoyed this episode.

Kendra: "After a couple of days being balls-to-the-wall, I was really feeling the balls."

I need that on a T-shirt.

Loved this episode. I kept getting the vibe that Kendra was flirting with the snowboarders. It looked so much more natural seeing her with guys closer to her own age. Bridget was ridiculous in that bunny outfit, what is wrong with her???

I don't know if Kendra is getting a better edit this season or Holly's claws are just showing more but I really find Kendra endearing now. I liked her tenacity in getting that jump right. You can't even compare her to someone like Bridget, who just wanted her tail to stay on.

I had to laugh when they were getting their massages. It can't be comfortable to be laying on those implants the whole time. Did you see how far Kendra's was popping out the side? Ew.

Is this more subterfuge in the mystery that is Holly's upbringing? She talked about Alaska and eating elk balls but isn't it a fact she's from Seattle?

She's from Oregon, but lived in Alaska for ten years when she was a kid.

Bridget was so pathetic really, with the bunny outfit. She seemed so disappointed that none of the guys seemed impressed or even knew why the heck she was wearing it. Bridget's definitely from a different playboy era, no wonder she appeals to to the middleaged and older crowd.

Kendra on the other hand, was right in her element in this episode! ITA with previous poster who thought she should hook up with some extreme sports guy and move on!

Ha, yeah... major dinner tension, followed by Holly anouncing how fabulous it was to have bonding time with just the other girls!

Holly has such a bitchface every time she looks at other women. I watched the other episodes as well last night, and the looks she gave that Playboy model - yikes. Her words were saying "That picture is beautiful!", but her face - she didn't look at all happy, she looks judgemental.

And yeah, the longer this is on, the more Kendra looks like the only sane person. Holly is completely obsessed with being the Mrs., and Bridget is some crazy Baby Jane still dressing and talking like a child. I thought it was funny when they all came back from the trip, and Holly got a "There's my honey!", or something like that from Hef. Well, the other girls got equally sweet welcome home greetings and big kisses, so how the hell can Holly ever feel special?

What was the deal with the elk? I understood Holly was being a bitch to Kendra, but beyond that, wtf? Is elk a delicacy Kendra couldn't understand?

I think Kendra is the only normal one out of the three. I loved how she was so enthusiastic about the snowboarding; it didn't look like facade. I hope she escapes before she becomes a caricature.

I am so jealous that they got snowboarding lessons from Shaun White! He is my snowboarding GOD! Kendra is the only one who appreciated it.

Kendra was definitely flirting with the snowboard guys. (I'd even say all three of them seemed to be flirting a bit.) I thought it was pretty cute how handsy Shaun was when he crashed into her. See Kendra, isn't it fun to hang around with someone your own age who can enjoy the same things you do?

The whole weekend must have made Hef seem pretty pathetic and old when they got home. They can claim how happy they are to be back, but you can't tell me that returning from a weekend of freedom with cute boys (with sexy accents) your own age to a room full of old men in their jammies playing cards isn't a let down.

It certainly was a contrast seeing the girls with in shape, age appropriate guys then cutting to ancient ol Hef playing poker with his equally gross old friends (do the girls have to "service" them too?.)

I loved Kendra in this episode. I loved her tenacity in wanting to learn that jump. Kendra with Shaun White was so cute. I know that she is getting good money to be Hef's "girlfriend" but surely it must be tough to keep hands off cute young guys.

I felt bad for Kendra when she had to kiss Hef goodbye at 4 am. Old man morning breath can't be a pleasant thing. She probably gargled with Patron as soon as she hit the limo.

I saw more of the "Holly gets underfoot as they try to make the Playboy Calander" episode, at least I think it was. I'm surprised they got anything accomplished with all the butting in shen did!

After watching Bridget review her demo tape and tell the dude making it that the static (simulating changing the channel) scared her, I have to wonder if she's mental or something.

I don't know who it was that pointed out that Bridget's "sexy face" looks like Ed Grimley, but WORD! Oh my gosh, who told her that looked sexy? She's either making that weird lip-curled face, or her mouth is open like a blow-up doll. I don't think she's the prettist at all, but she might look better if she sported a normal smile or something. I always think of Anna Nicole Smith when I watch Bridget make that face. Some fool told them both they looked great if they curled their upper lips to make them look fuller or something, but they just looked like they had really painful gum surgery.

I liked how Hef barely glanced at her, and then while giving her a peck and a hug, his eyes immediately went to his left to search out the next girl. He also had the "kid in a candy store" reaction to Bridget and Kendra during their little fashion show, but not so much with Holly.

I felt sympathy for the horrified onlookers in the background when Holly and Bridget were trashily throwing their underwear on a tree.

Even though this was the product placement ep to end all PPE's, it was done with a lot of fun. Isn't Shaun White also from San Diego? Hmm.

When they returned from snowboarding it was like they were coming back to a nursing home. Yeesh! Bridget may be a young chick next to these old fossils but on the trip she looked like she could be mom to the guys they were mingling with (especially Shaun). And all Miss Mental Patient cared about was that her bunny cottontail stay attached. If I were one of the guys there I'd be thinkin' damn -- this old lady is nuts.

I kept looking at Kendra's boobies in this ep. They looked very high and fuller. Wonder if she had them redone again.

Take Holly out of that mansion and Miss Bug-Eyed Serial Killer looks completely bizarre. Who in the world has hair that color outside the Playboy mansion? The woman's a freak!! Maybe she's angry she has to walk around looking like that.

In that 'make a calendar' episode you can totally tell that the photographer LOVES photographing Kendra. He is cheery and tells her she looks great every five seconds. Every direction he gives her she nails immediately. Holly is ok but he is downright hostile and frustrated with Bridgette. He says everything is so difficult, has to repeat every direction he gives her and seems far less enthusiastic.

Where should I begin?

I think the photog was less enthusiastic becasue he realized that his photos of Bridgette would have to be so airbrushed that you won't even be able to tell they are photos and not some painting of an old lady in her underwear. Complete waste of photog's time.

I know I'm behind, but I just saw the Marie Antoinette show. A big fat word to all the discussion about Holly setting up Kendra to look stupid. A snow white outfit? I loved the look on Kendra's face after Holly left. Holly even got great outfits for the girls who live across the street! Holly is falling apart, I think. She's beginning to fail at hiding her real, quite nasty, personality. And I know that Bridget gets bagged on a lot here, but I thought she looked really pretty in the outfit she had for the party. (Actually I think all of them are pretty attractive, just cheesy.)

We call it the "smelly cheese" look. It was also popularized in the early days of the Victoria's Secret catalog(early 90's?). My friends used to laugh and say the girls looked like they just smelled bad cheese. Stephanie Seymor was the worst of them all at it.

Maybe that's where Bridget gets it from..those old catalogs.

Everytime I see Holly, for some reason I immediately think," Why did that elderly woman get so much plastic surgery? Oh wait...it's just Holly." That pale blonde hair is really not doing her any favors; it makes her look much older.

Ugh, watching Holly kiss Hef while he was still lying in bed (in that FOUL, stinky, musty room with shit lying everywhere) was probably the grossest scene yet on GND. YEECH, can you even imagine how nasty his breath must be?

I thought Bridget's obsession with her stupid bunny tail was extremely obnoxious as well. Why do these women still think that being involved w/ Playboy is the most important thing in the WORLD?

Yeah, and putting a pin on your ass when you're going to be falling on it all day ain't so bright.

I'm surprised there is so much Kendra-love. I just can't stand dumb people no matter how fun they are. She seems to not have two brain cells to rub together and incapable of anything but the most basic thoughts. She reminds me very much of Paris Hilton. You could put a microphone in their faces a thousand times and never get a single sentence of substance.

To their credit Holly and Bridget seem articulate and somewhat intelligent. Holly has cleverly maneuvered herself into a possible line in Puffin's will with her doting manner. Her snobbish demeanor is somewhat off-putting. I get the sense she fancies herself to be classy without realizing she is the epitome of trash.

Bridget is my favorite. Yes she is too old for this and somewhat childish but I can't help but like her upbeat disposition. She seems genuinely grateful and enthusiatic about everything she does. I do worry for her because she seems to be the only one without a plan post-Mansion. Kendra will booty-dance her way into the heart of some rapper or sports star. Holly will poke a hole in Puffin's condom in an effort to conceive a child that could net her a healthy child support check asumming she can't convince him to marry her without a pre-nup. What does Bridget have planned?

Does Kendra have one foot out the mansion door already or what??? When she was buying the condo, she said something like, "I asked questions that renters would ask, like how is the school district?" Then she slipped and added, "because I might be having kids one day." I know she was kidding to freak out her mom, but still.

And her darker hair, it's like a slap in old Hef's face. Next week she'll be a brunette, and the week after that, she'll be gone.

As someone mentioned, I, too, don't get the extreme elk-hate. It's not like someone set a bowl of toenails in front of them. I get that they might be cautious eaters, but the looks on Kendra and Bridget's snotty faces really bugged.

Totally. When they ran in to kiss Hef I wondered if anyone had checked to make sure he was still breathing. And then I thought, wait, that's Holly's job. Step 1: Check to see if boyfriend died during night. Step 2: baby oil.

Holly's job sucks.

Let's talk about Hef's obsession with the white blonde hair. I don't get who thinks this is hot. Just looks freaky, trashy and old ladyish. I think it's from Hef's obsession with Marilyn and Jayne Mansfield. But these were babes from 50 years ago. I NEVER see women with hair that color. Do they only exist in LA or just in the Playboy mansion? Or is Holly the only one now who has hair that color? Maybe 'cause she's so desperate to please Hef and be sure she gets some bucks from the will.

Any guesses what costumes Mental Case Bridget is going to dress up in next? She already did the bunny costume for Easter (yawn).

Seriously, it is gross!!!
Holly would look so much younger and prettier if she just toned it down a bit and added some high and lowlights to that white mop((just look what a difference it made for Kendra after she darkened her own mop a tad)).
Sure, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilara can pull the platinum hair off well, but it just doesn't seem to work on Holly, who has an extreme face with harsh features that's only made worse with an equally extreme haircolor like THAT.

And mind you, I'm a fan of platinum blonde hair---I'm Swedish/German and was born with that color of hair and kept that color of hair thanks to good genes and a great hairdresser.
But I also have extremely pale skin, so my coloring is natural, not extreme.
Hair that light is supposed to match one's skin tone, and Holly's brownish orange fake-bake against that white hair just looks awful and trashy.
That's the worst part of the whole platinum blonde look that Playboy seems to favor---what is up with the skank white hair against the oompa-loompa tanned skin?

At least Bridget's hair looks somewhat healthier and natural with her skintone and eye color, unlike the other gals', and Kendra's hair somewhat seems feasible thanks to her beautiful ice-blue eyes.

As for Bridget's postshow plan? She's going to be a bigtime television correspondant, baby!
Did you not SEE that amazing video reel she had made of her best tv hostessing moments?
She's going places, that one.

You're so right about Christina and Gwen Stefani -- they look great with the white blonde hair. But they also aren't locked into it and they try other looks. Maybe veering against nature too much really shows and the hint is Holly's dark, dark, dark jet black roots. She isn't meant to be a white blonde. The fakey carrot orange tan doesn't help her look either.

I'm still wondering about Holly's background -- she tries very, very hard not to discuss family or specifics about her past. Maybe she was born a man?

Why do grown-ass women need to make a "panty tree"? It's not cute, charming or adorable. It's gross and juvenile. Gah!

Bridget, I will let the snow bunny costume go but the panty tree is where I draw the line.

Amen! Why did they have to give that poor tree crabs??

I still need to see the last two eps. I think they re-run tonight.

I don't think that white blond looks good on anyone unless you're born with it. I don't like it on Gwen or Christina. I can just imagine how brittle their hair is and how thin it is from all those years of bleaching. Gwen's hair is almost grey. I think Bridget has the prettiest hair color. Kendra's looks a lot better now and poor Holly is still sporting that harsh hair.

Yes, Bridget has her education to fall back on, but she needs some work experience to back it up. Puffin has a limited shelf life and she will need to move on soon. Does anyone know how much they make off TGND, calendars and other stuff they have done?

nope, white blonde over processed hair is passe in LA as is the combo of tube socks and short-shorts on adult women.

I agree with your last statement. She'll do anything to suck up to Hef. Like that episode where she and Gramps were in bed together and he asked her what she wanted to watch on t.v. and she shrieked "Flash Gordon!" Sorry, but I refuse to believe that Holly even had a clue what Flash Gordon was until she discovered it was Hef's favorite show. She just came off so desperate and fake in her "joy" at watching the show. Same with her horrid white hair - if Hef likes it, she'll act like it's the greatest thing in the world.



Probably because she wants to portray that Puffin is her whole life and that nothing else means anything to her except him. ("Oh Puffin, I didn't even start to live until I met YOU!") I'm serious. I wouldn't put it past her.

The thing about Bridget's future is this - I appreciate that she has an education and all, but she still really sucks as a correspondant, in my opinion. And when she's not a girlfriend anymore, does anyone think she'll be able to find any work? I think the only reason anyone invites her mediocre ass to do anything now is because she's a girlfriend. I just don't think she'll be able to find work in her field once this is all over with.

Either that or she's WAAAAAYYYYYYYYY older than she claims. She looks as though she entered the door to 40 awhile ago. But I guess once you're over 80 like Hef, anyone that looks under 50 is a "young, hot babe."

Interestingly enough, brunettes were his obssession for years. I watched the A&E documentary on him and he talked about his brunette fixation - his high school crush who broke his heart, his first wife, and former girlfriends Barbie Benton and Carrie Leigh were all brunettes. All the "big loves of his life." He didn't even seem to care for his second wife that much, except to try and make Carrie Leigh jealous...she left him; Playboy published a very nasty story on her when he married his second wife. It was basically that Carrie was an evil witch and Kim (I think that's her name) was the fairy princess that rescued him. Very mature of him, eh?

My dad has always had a subscription to Playboy for as far back as I can remember. They used to have really gorgeous Playmates...now they're all heavily airbrushed, generic and plastic. Many of the Playmates from the '60s and '70s went on to interesting careers...I can't imagine a lot of the newer ones doing anything but try to marry a rich guy.

And in the E! special, Hef's brother and a couple others (including Hollly, naturally) claimed that Holly was the fairy princess who in turn rescued Hef from evil wife Kim. Feh.

Hmmm...Hef must believe he's Little Nell or something! LOL!

Check out Carrie Leigh...she's a photographer now! Still absolutely stunning!

I think Holly is around the age she says she is (she might be a FEW years older). It's Bridget who's the old lady of this bunch. OK, she's a pretty old lady and a nutty old lady . . . but still an old lady Playmate! I wonder if Hef offers a retirement plan to 80 year old playmate/girlfriends? Bridget should sign up immediately and then of course Holly.

I agree. It's the hair that ages her. It never even moves. It's like paegent hair. If she had a darker shade of blond and let it have some movement, she'd look so much younger.

I keep noticing how Hef is constantly pulling Kendra to him to give her a kiss on the lips. I NEVER see her initate a kiss first.



LOL. Same here. First I read "Bunny Tales" and now I've read over 50 pages of this forum and wonder what I ever saw in Bridget. I'm gonna have to delete her from my MySpace friends now ;-)

Where does 'Puffin' come from exactly? I feel like she just randomly made it up one day so that she could have a nickname for Hef so that it would seem as though they are super-close.

I agree though that Bridgett has gotten progressively more annoying as the seasons have progressed. Bridget in moderation is good but after a while that voice of hers just becomes unbearable.

I do. I think while her looks stay relatively bunny-ish, she'll be able to do fluff party segments for TVGuide channel, or Entertainment Tonight, or one of those shows on E! like the Daily 10. IMO, those positions really have nothing to do with the person being a good correspondent--they're all about the person's name and "character." I saw Kim Kardashian do a bunch of those types of segments for Extra, or something, and she was awful. Her claim to fame? She parties with Paris Hilton.

Once the looks fall, do I think she'll get work as a correspondent? No. Do I think she might find some other rich geezer to latch onto? Probably. But do I think she's hire-able, if she needs and tries to get an honest job? Sure. She's got (presumably) a bachelors degree, and a masters or two, and wants a doctorate. They're not exactly from Harvard, but they'll suffice. I could see her moving behind the camera and writing/directing fluffy local shows, or something. I don't know much about the broadcast industry, but if there's one thing I know in general, it's that no degree is useless. I think she'll be just fine if she tries.
