Monday, December 29, 2008 || Bromance | A Taste Of The Good Life
There's friendship, there's romance, and then there's the best of both worlds: a Bromance with Hills heartthrob, Brody Jenner! Nine lucky guys have been chosen from a pool of thousands of applicants all across the country for the chance to meet Brody, become part of his entourage, and even score the keys of ownership to Brody's posh penthouse in LA.
Only hours after the nine potentials have flown from their homes and are sound asleep in their cozy hotel beds, they are rudely awoken by Brody's security guards. The guards show no mercy on the boys; whether in full PJ's or their birthday suits, each guy is dragged from his bed and blindfolded.
Most contestants: Chris P., from Louisville, KY, Gary, from Mattapoisett, MA, Jered, of St. Cloud, FL, Femi, from Jacksonville, FL, and Alex, from Falmouth, ME, cooperate and sleepily let security escort them to an unknown destination. Other contestants, however, aren't so cooperative. Jacob, from La Habra, CA, worries he's being taken to prison. Chris F. swipes a hotel blanket for the trip, Michael from Matawan, NJ, is outraged at losing beauty sleep, and fights every step of the way, and Luke, from Medford, MA, is caught off-guard in his birthday suit, and barely has time to grab a hand towel as he is towed down the hallway by two beefy security guards.
The guards pack the contestants into a van and bring them to their new home: The Bro-Mansion. The contestants are disappointed to discover that this house is no typical, gorgeous reality-show mansion. Instead, it's more closely resembles a frat house after a raging keg party. The guys are led inside, blindfolded, and told to kneel on the floor.
Finally, Brody steps in and instructs the guys to remove their blindfolds. Tensions from the rough morning quickly dwindle when the guys see each other, and Brody, and realize that their quest for Bromance has officially begun.
After laughing over morning hair-dos and sleepwear, Brody lays down the game plan. He presents the guys with their first challenge: finding two girls to bring to the Fredericks of Hollywood lingerie party that night!
The guys take a tour of the house, claim their beds, and quickly head out to the streets of LA in search of their party guests. But the girls of LA are harsh; most won't give the guys enough time to drop Brody Jenner's name before rudely dismissing them. Some guys think they did well, especially Chris F., who brings his party invitations to Hooter's.
Before the party, Brody meets with Frankie and Sleazy-T to go over the night's strategy. He instructs his friends not to let the guys in unless they're accompanied by two girls. If, by 9:00, a guy is still waiting outside without girls, he can be let into the club, but there will be consequences.
The guys arrive at the club a little after 8:00, praying that their girls will be waiting. Gary is thrilled to see his girls already standing by the door, but the rest of the guys aren't so lucky. As Gary waltzes into the club with a girl on each arm, the other guys begin to make frantic phone calls.
Luckily, other girls begin to show up for some of the guys Brody mis-judged, like Michael and Chris F. Jacob panics and wanders to a nearby corner to try and convince random girls to be his guests. Undistracted by all the lingerie, Michael gives Brody a birthday card, announcing himself as Brody's new BFF. Frankie feels threatened by Michael's bold move, and confronts him, telling him the card was a little bit rude.
Meanwhile, Chris P. and Femi are still waiting outside for their girls when the clock runs out. Sleazy T lets them inside, but lets them know they'll be cleaning up the whole club afterwards. After partying it up with Brody for awhile, each contestant gives Brody a toast. Some guys give sentimental speeches, others are witty but touching, but a few, like Jacob, are offensive, and immediately give Brody a bad impression.
At the end of the toasts, Brody chooses a winner for the night. Luke, who brought the hottest girls, gets to hop in a limo with Brody and the girls for a private party. Meanwhile, the losers stay behind to sulk and clean up. Michael is especially disgruntled. Not only did he lose, but he realizes this challenge isn't all the fun and glamour he thought it would be.
The next morning, Brody surprises his hung-over bros by bringing breakfast to the Bro Mansion. While they all laugh at the past nights events and gossip about girls, Michael looks increasingly uncomfortable. Finally, he asks to speak to Brody in private. He confesses that while he appreciates the opportunity, his heart just isn't in the game, and he's ready to leave. Brody respects Michael's courage of being so up-front, and offers to drive him to the airport.
After Michael leaves, Brody invites the rest of the bros over to his penthouse. A welcome change from their dirty Bro Mansion, the guys are stunned when Brody reveals that the penthouse will be given to whoever he chooses as the winner.
The guys are ecstatic at the good news, but the competition inevitably becomes fiercer. Brody announces that another contestant will be sent home that night. He tells the guys to get changed and meet him in the hot tub upstairs for the first elimination ceremony.
The guys nervously enter, trying to ignore the awkwardness of nine guys together in a Jacuzzi. Brody points out a few guys that really impressed him with the first challenge, and dismisses them from elimination.
Now it's down to just Femi, Jacob, and Chris P facing Brody in the Jacuzzi. Brody tells Chris and Femi he was disappointed that they couldn't get any girls to come to the lingerie party. Jacob, although he managed to get girls, tried to break the rules, and also gave a belligerent toast, dropping one too many F-bombs. This double disappointment ultimately sends Jacob packing. The rest of the guys re-join Brody in the hot tub, and celebrate their successful completion of round one.

Soooo boring. Like the male version of Paris hiltons new bff
very stupid. waste of an entire hour. i will only watch the epi w/ Lauren
this show is sooo gay it makes me laugh lmao
They are fucking fags... Gay Gay Gay!!!!
i really liked it.
i didnt really sit down and watch it but i did see that one part where Brody said the winner gets to keep that condo/apt. that's actually pretty cool.
I think the show's funny! It made me laugh. Sure it's stupid, it's even a stupid concept, but Brody has admitted that. He's hot, the shows funny, so I'll keep watching. It's a change from the drama-filled hills. And also it's wayy better than Paris' show!
suxssss
i can't stand brody but i watched just to give the show a shot and boy did it suck. it really annoys me that brody (and frankie) are always making snide remarks about the hills and then this is the best they can come up with? They need get over themselves!
I thought this would be an interesting show given I liked the Paris Hilton version of it but after watching it I feel like I wasted an hour of my life and this show was boring, contrived and stupid. (Totally low-budget too, compared to Paris's show) & I made sure to delete it from my series recorder. Sorry, Brody...I gave it a chance but it didn't work out. Like someone above mentioned, I'll probably just watch the episode with Lauren in it, if I find out when it airs. If I miss it though, no biggie.
Sorry.. Brody is cute, but the show is gay!
Sleazy T is hot!
HORRIBLE! I will never waste my time watching this again. Wow what a loser show.
I watched about 2 minutes but was too bored to go on. I didn't watch that much of it, but I thought the Paris Hilton show was alot better.
