The Girls Next Door

I personally love this show!!!! Sure, it may be somewhat nasty. And a little bit degrading, but it provides some information on what the mansion is like on the inside. You also get to see that not ALL pretty people are incredibly stupid... all three of them have either got a degree in something or are in school. I think the show is very funny. Especially when the girls act like idiots. There are also some touching moments. Like when Bridget, Holly and Kendra helped give Anastasia a makeover for the Midsummer's party. That was very sweet. I will admit there are some repulsive things in the show. Like when the girls were completely naked in front of the camera while shooting a pictorial. That really isn't something that should be put in TV. But, hey, this is E!, not Nickelodeon. The girls seem cool and are very pretty. Also, they aren't completely stupid. My mom like Holly the best and I like Kendra. But I think Bridget is the sweetest. And as for Bridget being homely... YEAH RIGHT!!! I'd love to be as pretty as any of them!!

You have these not so bright blondes running around, and hef looking like he's just risen from a grave out for some brains.

All joking aside, I don't get why anyone would watch this, "light hearted fun" I believe someone commented. It is literally about nothing, just hef's girlfriends talking about nothing and doing nothing really.

Only reason I'm commenting is because it's 5 in the morning, perfect time to air some show no one watches but the channel has to dump somewhere.

It's a bit more than disturbing for me. I know people like celebrity gossip and watching celebrities living their every day life(not that these girls can be called celebrities by any stretch of the imagination). But who on earth wants to know about hugh hefners sex life, let alone watch a reality show about it?

i know that a bunch of playboy bunnies running around a mansion with someone who is turning 80 next year seems a little...trashy. but honestly, if you actually sit down and watch an episode, you will realize that the girls actually aren't that trashy. two of them have college degrees. one has a masters. the third is a massage therapist. like really? come on. you can't just call them dumb because they are hot and live at this mansion. the only one who doesn't seem smart or poised is Kendra- and if i had to guess her age i'd say 18 or 19. shes just a typical girl, nothing to get upset about. this show is completely harmless, and in the middle of the day when nothings on, its nice to watch gorgeous girls goof around.

I absolutely love this show but i have to admit that the show wouldn't be what it is without Kendra. Kendra is one out of the three playboy playmates featured in this show, she is so hilarious and has the best personality. I honestly don't get why people hate on this show, if you don't like it then don't watch it. Anyways, each episode usually has to do with the girls going on trips or doing a photo-shoot,i definitely think it's one of the most entertaining shows out there right now. I have to admit that when i first heard about this show, i was like "are you serious?, i wouldn't watch this if you paid me", but it became one of my favorite shows. I highly recommend everyone to at least watch one episode of this show but i warn you, you will be hooked.

*Marissa*

I can't believe I saw this show. I truly can't. And yet I have.

I remember shooting bikini videos years back, and thinking to myself how jealous I was making non-crew spectators as I did my job. It put a smile on my face. But now I'm watching a video which is ostensibly in the same "genre" so to speak; the "pretty girl expose" sub-genre, and now that I see the product of such work (which I rarely viewed after a job was done) I'm at a loss for words. What can I say? Oh... my... God... if there was anything more vapid and hair-brained than a video about girls feeling competitive and special about being invited by the world's oldest, commercially successful, "dirty-old-man" to show off their bodies for a "sex" magazine, then I can't think of it.

Myself, I think there're few things that compete with the female form, particularly one that's gifted and graced with beauty. But to create a TV series about girls feeling special about getting naked in front of a camera... I mean... words just can't describe it. And yet here it is, in all of its Betacamn glory.

Jealous? No, just thoroughly astonished.

And yet at the same time I understand that there's a niche market for this sort of thing. The kind of male (or female as the case may be) who is in awe of physical beauty, and thinks there's something special about such people, and hence wants to get to know their inner emotional and social workings. Such a program offers a vicarious experience for those who aren't "part of the scene", so to speak.

I imagine it also offers a kind of testosterone boost for a certain kind of male who also likes this kind of thing, and seeing the rewards doled out to the pretty and intellectually vague.

But that'a a little harsh, because some of these girls, for all their clique-oriented petty competition and feigned sisterhood, demonstrate an internal understanding of who and what they are, and why they're prized as such. This puts them apart from the runaway who gets caught up in the illicit sex industry, and knows no other value to herself.

Even so this show is a waste of digital storage space, and is comically nauseating for those who like their entertainment somewhat more high-brow. Watch at your own risk.
