Guys, something happened with the original upload of this episode and only half of the show was published. I have republished it in full, so don't sleep on this one.
In this episode of MORE Girls Next Door, Megan recaps “Guess Who’s Coming to Luncheon,” where Sara Jean Underwood is officially crowned 2007 Playmate of the Year, Barbi Benton returns to the Mansion, Holly’s family comes to town—and Playboy quietly says goodbye to one of the most influential women in its history.
But beneath the $100,000 check, celebrity guests and perfectly coordinated presents, there may be a much more complicated changing of the guard taking place. As Marilyn Grabowski prepares to leave Playboy after 43 years, Holly is becoming increasingly confident about climbing the company’s corporate ladder. Was she simply being prepared for an opportunity—or was there more happening behind the scenes?
Megan breaks down:
Why Marilyn Grabowski’s retirement may have been more complicated than the show suggests
The later claim that Marilyn blamed Holly for her departure from Playboy
Whether Hef could have been positioning Holly as Marilyn’s eventual replacement
What Holly’s growing confidence at Playboy reveals about the future she envisioned for herself
The rare glimpse into Holly’s family—and the touching validation she receives in front of her dad
Barbi Benton’s return, her encounter with Holly’s very enthusiastic father and her surprising bond with Kendra
Sara Underwood’s emotional PMOY speech, $100,000 prize and wonderfully over-the-top 2007 luncheon
Plus: a Y2K deep dive into 2007, when Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! and a brand-new reality TV family began changing the rules of celebrity—just as Holly, Bridget and Kendra were still reigning on the very same network.
