Episode Guide
A quiet weekend at the Playboy mansion? It doesn’t happen often with Holly, Bridget, Kendra, Hef, and 70 staff members in the house, not to mention the nine pet dogs between the three models alone. But on Sunday’s episode Bridget and Kendra took off for the weekend, leaving Holly to entertain her Puffin for two whole days without the other girlfriends.
Kendra was out of town fixing up her new condo with the help of her grandparents, mom and brother, all of whom worked diligently while Kendra checked herself out in the mirror, talked about how excited she was for her new condo, and didn’t put down her purse or take off her sunglasses once the entire day. Her biggest contribution was helping her brother paint a wall by writing “K-Dub” in paint and then laughing at it and walking away. It says something about your intelligence when even your brother looks at you like you’re the dumbest person in the world.
The weirdest part of the day was when the family discovered a pot stuck in a kitchen cabinet. It took them an hour to dislodge it and then Kendra told her grandmother she could keep it. What wasn’t really covered in the episode was how Kendra could possibly afford a condo (maybe it’s what you get for sleeping with Hef for a year), why Kendra even needs a condo (is she planning to move out of the mansion?), and how Kendra’s family puts up with her (they at least seem to have normal intelligence levels).
Bridget, meanwhile, was in Chicago with her mom to start preparing for her favorite holiday: Halloween. The Windy City hosts the largest Halloween expo of the year and sells everything from caskets with cameras inside (Bridget got inside and pretended to be dead but then laughed and waved at the camera), games like “Operation” but with cadavers and instead of pulling out organs you pull out mice, and robot zombies that vomit real liquid. After the expo Bridget and her mom played the tourist, which mostly consisted of trying Chicago style foods like Chicago Hot Dogs and Deep Dish Pizza. They also took some time to visit the Playboy Headquarters where Bridget introduced her mom around and the viewers endured trite comments about how Bridget’s mom could be her sister and looked too young to possibly be her mother.
The one exciting part about the visit to the Playboy office was that we got to see the layout of the Girls Next Door calendar, which of course features Holly Madison nude and inexplicably is for 16 months instead of 12. Kendra must have had some input as to how many months are in a year.
Back at the mansion, Holly decides to show Hef her photo editing skills in the hopes of landing a job for the magazine and has a large Mac computer delivered to the house for her to work on recent images taken of playmates (read: she airbrushes, enlarges boobs, smoothes wrinkles, deletes moles and trims fatty parts – no one in magazines really looks like that – go watch the Dove commercial on it). Holly works hard for a few hours and then Hef comes into check out the photos. This is the real conversation:
Holly clicks a picture
Hef: No
Holly clicks a picture
Hef: No
Holly clicks a picture
Hef: No
Holly clicks a picture
Hef: No
Holly clicks a picture
Hef: No
Holly clicks a picture
Holly: No right?
Hef: Go back. Actually that one is ok.
Holly then comments about how it’s nice having just the two of them around, apparently forgetting that Hef just came from a different room where he was flirting with four tan, voluptuous playmates, all of whom were wearing low-cut, half shirts.
The episode ends with Holly and Hef lying in bed together to watch their Sunday night movie of the week: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. As they’re cuddled up, Kendra and Bridget walk into the room one at a time in the most scripted scene of all three seasons. The credits roll as the four cuddle up in bed, along with the fake, bloody body parts that Bridget brought back from Chicago, which is packed in the Styrofoam and plastic packaging that raw chicken from the grocery store comes in.
It’s tres romantic.
