This week Holly and Bridget get real about why the three Girls Next Door cast members didn't always get along. Competition and conflict brewed under the surface leading to scene stealing tactics and stifling resentment. The girls speculate on which personality traits were incompatible with the multi-girlfriend situation, why Bridget got blocked from the tennis tournament and what Holly feels bad about in this episode. Reminisce with the girls about learning to drive stick shift on a million dollar car, undressing in front of the cameras, and the type of humor their executive producer loved. Find out about the most secret room at the mansion, what "Pig Night" was and what happened to Queen Elizabeth's corgis in this episode of Girls Next Level.

Ep. 43: Why We Hated Each Other: "Clue-less," Part 1!

Come back to Chicago with Holly and Bridget as they discuss the word "bimbo" and how the meaning of the word has changed over the years, as well as how bimbo culture was at once fostered and rewarded at the mansion but also made fun of on the show. The girls get into the "backdoor pilot" that's hidden in the episode, who was thrown under the bus, performative sexuality, the football player who did NOT want to be on their show, an Al Capone Mandela effect, which of the mansion's dogs was the most difficult, and why Hef reminds Holly of Kylie Jenner. The girls recount visiting the original Playboy mansion in Chicago, why makeup artists weren't allowed in their rooms and if the show believed women could be smart and funny at the same time.
