4.0 out of 5 stars The End of an Era!, June 26, 2009

By	Amanda (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews

Hugh Hefner invites everyone back into the exclusive world of Playboy through the eyes of his three Playboy models turned girlfriends: Holly, Kendra, and Bridget. Experience the luxurious life of the legendary Hugh and his ladies as they attend lavish parties, go on exotic trips and coordinate gorgeous (and steamy) photo shoots while living in the famous Playboy mansion.

The fifth season focuses on several different plotlines. Included amongst them are: Holly's special nationwide search of the perfect 55th Anniversary Playmate, Bridget's plans for a crazy Las Vegas wedding and her departure from the mansion to film a new series for the Travel Channel, and Kendra's participation in the world's sexiest softball game while also preparing for her own departure from the Playboy universe. This season, like previous ones, also features several celebrity appearances, including Anna Faris, Pamela Anderson, Stacy Burke, and Karissa and Kristina Shannon, two of Hugh's next girlfriends.

The most dramatic and emotional season so far, the fifth season of The Girls Next Door marks the final season to feature Hugh's original Girls Next Door girlfriends. At the end of the season, we get to see the actual departure of Bridget and Kendra, while number one girlfriend Holly didn't get a televised breakup -but she does allude to her impending breakup with Hugh.

The special features on this DVD set include a collection of features called "The Big Easy Does It," "Scubba, Scubba, Do!" and "Third Time's the Charming," which further document the lives and crazy happenings around the girls. There is also some absolutely hilarious commentary for each episode provided by Holly, Bridget, and Kendra. There are even deleted and bonus scenes that are just as amazing and ridiculous as the series itself.

I'm not really sure what it is about these girls that we love so much. Could it be because we envy them? Do the lives of these women appeal to some fantasy that we have? Do we enjoy seeing behind-the-scenes of Playboy? Or do we just like laughing at how utterly ridiculous these girls are?

While at times emotional and heartfelt, The Girls Next Door - Season Five marks the end of an era for the series and for Playboy. While this show is completely mindless entertainment, it is hilarious and Holly, Bridget, and Kendra will be missed. The series will still continue for at least another season, and the change in leading ladies could bring a fresh face to it -- or destroy it completely. Only time will tell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Show until the End, June 30, 2009

By	K. Kern (AZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Season 5 of the Girls Next Door doesn't disappoint and of course the commentary of the girls for each episode is the icing on the cake (as Bridget likes to say). We have followed these 3 Girls during part of their exciting life at the Playboy Mansion and it helped to give some insight on what it's like to be one of Hef's girlfriends. With Kendra now being married, Bridget having her own Travel show and Holly just starting her stint on "Peepshow" in Vegas I can only hope that the next season with the new girlfriends will make us smile as these three did!

5.0 out of 5 stars it's over,sniff sniff :(, July 13, 2009

By	Ms. Addams (maryland) - See all my reviews

So it's the last (REAL) season and time to say goodbye to Holly,Bridget and Kendra.The 3 quirky blondes,that after 5 fun seasons and commentaries you almost feel like you know personally.
Season 5 is just as fun filled as the other seasons and wont disappoint.Even more nudity and high jinx too.
The only complaint is that the last two "goodbye" episodes are left out and I hope that isn't because the people who make the dvds think if they put them on season 6 with those stupid twins that more people will buy season 6.
I will not waste my money on the new girls next door!
You absolutely cannot replace Holly,Bridget and Kendra.Maybe some watched the show for Hef,but it's my opinion that the Girls were the real stars!!!
I'am only sad to see it end but wish them good luck with whatever they do in life.
