The girlies head to a clog store where Holly pretends (I assume) to buy clogs. As they're walking around this "Danish" town it's pretty funny how out of place these blondies look. I also noticed how punk rocker Holly has really become. Remember how girly she was pre-Criss Angel? Ugh, it's so sick when girls morph to match the guy they're with.
As darkness draws near the bus pulls up to the party location of the night -- the Madonna Inn, which is a very, very pink hotel. Pink and themed. What could be better?
There are over 300 themed rooms, including a cave room, and old mill room, a pink room, and an Austrian room. They are still in California, right?
Bridget and Anastasia are sleeping in a jungle cave room, which reminds Holly of the grotto and reminds me of somewhere I would NEVER sleep. Holly gets the old mill room, which has green sparkle walls and little people in a giant cuckoo clock thing. Holly acts excited, but you know on the inside she's dreaming of the Regent Beverly Wilshire.
Kendra and Sarah stay in the Madonna suite, which is alllll pink with a big rock fireplace. Kendra is most impressed that the toilet paper is right across from the toilet.You don't have to contort your body at all to get at the toilet paper. I'm glad you find happiness in the little things, Ken.
Back in Bridg and Anastasia's room there is a knock on the door and B tells Ana to open it. It's their parents, here to surprise their daughter on her 21st! Ana is very excited and yells at Bridg for not telling her earlier. If I was her, I'd be yelling at her for inviting my PARENTS to my 21st birthday party. Parents really shouldn't be around to watch their daughters black out and make out with random dudes. It's just not right.
Next everyone heads down to the hotel steakhouse, another tacky, pink room. Ana is really excited that she actually gets to choose a drink of the drink menu. (Has she never had a fake ID?) Ana wants to order every drink off the menu, but everyone starts with the "pink cloud" house specialty drink.
After dinner everyone hits the dance floor and a bunch of cute little kids join them. Then they all pull up to the bar. Ana starts off with a tequila shot and keeps on going. And yes, and parents are still there.
A: I'm here to get wasted! That's what I'm here for! Let's go!
B: You name it, she did it.
H: I don't know how she did it. She ordered every shot known to man kind. She's mixing all different types of alcohol.
K: She just had one after another after another and I was like omigod! I started getting tired just watching her.
Kendra actually went to bed before Anastasia. It's sad when you go to sleep before the 21-year-old passes out. Being with an old dude has turned your 22-year-old ass old!
Anastasia finishes off the night by running through the parking lot screaming. And a confession: "I just threw up in my mouth a bit." Now that's a 21st birthday.
On the bus ride home the next day everyone is sleeping except Holly, who is studying French. That explains why she's always testing out her Francais on Laurent the hair stylist. Voulez-vous couchez avec le old man of the mountain, Hollz?
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, random whores are trying to move in on Hef. (A tactic that I will never understand.) The girls talking to him around the breakfast table have suuuper annoying voices. One suggests that she'll be Mr. Hefner's new brunette girlfriend. Silly slut, he only does blondes.
On the bus Anastasia opens her gifts and is really cute. She reads a card that says, "Now most of the things you do are legal."
"Most!" Bridget chimes in. Kendra horse giggles. Don't worry Kenny -- geriatric sex is still (regretfully) legal.
When the girls finally get back to the mansion Bridg and Kenny kiss Hef tentatively on the lips, but Holly totally goes for the cheek!! Somewhere Criss Angel is waxing his balls and waiting for Holly to return to him.
Alright, so what was with this patchwork quilt of an episode? Have they run out of slutty mansion activities and are moving on to exploring the boonies of Cali? What do you think was going on behind the scenes with Holly at this point?

i keep hoping that there will be an episode on that will require more than a three page recap. if only you had been able to recap the older episodes those were way more fun and had the girls saying and doing so many inane things. they haven't really shown the girls dressing up all the time like they love to do because they are living fantasy land. but i think you do a great job with the material that you are given.
kendra constantly saying pea soup and the oh my god this town is cuute was about as good as it got. i just think the girls aren't giving it their all anymore, they are totally phoning it in. probably because when this was filmed was when k-dog and hollz had already moved on. i think that for the most part kendra and hollz didn't want to do too much filming in the mansion since they were ready to move out and that is why most of the shows have the girls any place, but the mansion.

I get a laugh out of watching this show...even a bigger laugh from reading the recap. Keep up the good work.
BTW..the gum wall is in San Luis Obispo...a great little college down...Sovang is about 90 miles south and is a major tourist trap done to resembl a Danish town...the only time I stopped there was when the fog was so bad that driving was dangerous and we decided to wait it out...unfortunately it was Solvang...anyone with one ounce of brain...would avoid Anderson's Pea Soup...I just wonder if these locations pay to be featured...and if so this shows you they are really getting to the bottom of the barrel....
And the Girls missed the one of the better know spots at the Madonna inn...the men's restroom....it's just a gaudy place that one avoids...again...I think these places are paying for the visit...and clearly the show is at it's bottom...
Keep up the great recap..

I wonder if these places pay to be feature..if so the show is at the bottom of the barrel. Sovang is a major tourist trap. Anderson's is to be avoided whenever possible. The Madonna Inn is so gaudy no one admits to visiting it. Apparently they missed their famous men's bathroom. Lucky for us.
BTW..the gum alley is in San Luis Obispo, a quait college town on the Central Coast of CA..
Keep up the good recap...it's the best part of watching the show.

Reckless -- Good call that Hollz and Kennster probably don't want to film in the mansion because they're already gone! That must also be why everyone has gathered in Bridget's room for the last few eps.
Ivken -- So funny that you actually know about all these ridic places! Will you flatten a penny on those train tracks for me?
And did you guys hear that Bridg officially moved out this weekend?? So sad that they are ALL gone. Will you watch her travel show?

what bridget is going to have own travel show. I will watch it just to see where she goes and for the trainwreck value. would you recap it? I would for sure watch if that was the case. I wouldn't watch another GND without the OG girls. seems kind of pointless and I am still trying to figure out why I am watching this to begin with.

Yeah, she's going to be hosting a show called "Bridget's Sexiest Beaches" for the Travel Channel.
Not sure if it's plausible to recap a travel show. Guess it depends on how much fodder for comedy it has. Love the loyalty though, Reckless!
