Or is it Bimbos? Whatever.
It’s not been a secret that I liked watching The Girls Next Door. When the show initially started, just based on the commercials, I think I might have rolled my eyes so hard they rolled to the back of my head. I mean, sure it might have been easy to lump them all into the dumb blonde bimbo category but Holly, Bridget, and Kendra won me over in 2 episodes.
Holly is a smart cookie. She knew what she wanted, she knew how to play Hef to get what she wanted, and she did it without being manipulative and mean. I also think part of me loved her because she was a great party planner and I love party planning as well.
Bridget is my favorite. She wasn’t stick thin, she had a Bachelor’s degree and was studying for her Master’s, and she had a goal beyond being a Girlfriend and possible Wife (although, that could be because she was already married, but that’s a whole other tabloid headline).
Kendra, well. Let’s not be mean, but she wasn’t the brightest star in the sky, but then again, she was only 18 so she didn’t have the life experience that Holly or Bridget had. But she was balanced out by the other 2 girls, so it all worked.
So, imagine how shocked and saddened I was when I heard/saw that the 3 ladies were moving out and on with their lives. I got why Bridget was going. She had her degree, she got a great gig with the Travel Channel and with one of those radio companies (XM? Sirrius?), and it was time to move on. But Holly and Kendra? What?! I thought for sure Holly was going to hang on until Hef died. But I guess she wanted a baby and a husband and he wasn’t going to give her either so she split. Of course, she split for Chris Angel so I have no idea what the hell that was about. And I figured Kendra would stay on the gravy train as long as possible, but I guess she wanted a guy who could keep up with her.
Now, E! knows a cash cow when it moos and The Girls Next Door brings all the boys to the yard, as it were, so they just replaced 3 blondes with another 3 blondes. Oh, but E! You did me wrong. Granted, I was predisposed to dislike these new Girlfriends but oh my god, how I LOATHE these girls!!!!! LOATHE! THEM! Well, I’m sort of okay with Krystal (I think the spelling of her name is pretentious but I blame her parents, not her, for that) but those twins? They make Kendra look like a freaking MENSA candidate!!! I’ve watched 4 episodes and I just can’t watch anymore. I would chalk up their stupidty to their age because they’re young but they’re clueless about stuff that’s going on right now that people their age should know (and I’m talking pop culture stuff, not books or anything that might require them to strain a brain cell).
And I think E! realized that maybe the new Girlfriends aren’t cutting it because they keep bringing back Holly, Bridget, and Kendra, which just further serves to show how vapid and dimwitted the new Girlfriends are.
Yeah, that’s coming off the pre-set DVR list.
