I REACT TO GIRLS NEXT DOOR SEASON 1 EPISODE 11 / "GRAPE EXPECTATIONS"

[@HowCaseySeesIt]

The show being about nothing was actually what I loved about it. It makes it calming to watch

[@msi8311]

Agreed

[@roflitsdani]

Exactly! It helped my anxiety haha

[@tns2253]

I agree so lighthearted :) not like the overdramatized reality shows now.

[@greatestever9086]

Totally agree!

[@CaseyWatchin]

I think the show was less about nothing and more about a very abnormal and unhealthy relationship. Even at age 12 I was aware that there was something off about the situation. Sadly, society was more than happy to stare at it.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

You’ve mentioned in a couple videos that you felt like your storyline wasn’t told as much as the other girls. I always think it’s interesting when you say that since I always thought of you as the main character and that you had the most airtime. 💕

[@Trixiepi]

same!! but maybe that’s because I cared about Holly the most so her story stuck in my mind the most 😅💘

[@jordankarren1]

Me too!

[@cweed76]

Same!

[@ashleylynn5609]

Same! She was the main character in my eyes the entire time!!!

[@yellowrosetoo]

Holly was always depressed. You could see it. Not just by the living situation then, just in general.

[@PokemonQueen954]

I love the power you have taken back from being on the show. Your a huge inspiration and voice for people that are in similar situations.❤️❤️❤️

[@lauriedavies6514]

I TOTALLY agree with this!!!!

[@aftonstjames]

I love these videos because I don't have a lot of friends and I know it sounds pathetic but it makes me feel like I'm hanging out with you and I dont feel so alone

[@cassandratorres1140]

Holly, you are not alone when it comes to the phenomenon of needing to re-evaluate your life for the future. I honestly have made big changes in my life recently after Halloween. Maybe it's the change of seasons, or maybe it's the after affects of the pandemic. I think all of us just want some change and the break we had from our old lives makes us want to revisit and change things for the better 😀

[@jillianasyouwish8013]

Yes 100% feel this

[@rayjennewein9223]

I still have one of my Homies. It's a girl wearing a tank top with suspenders and a hat that says FLY...she's still in my old makeup box from when I did drag. Everytime I performed I would sit her at my makeup station as my inspiration cuz she's FLY LOL

[@trenae.]

you randomly mentioning those little homie dolls unlocked a memory i totally forgot about 😂 in elementary school everyone would sell/trade their homies until eventually teachers caught on to what we were doing so the principal completely banned homie dolls from being at school 😆

[@lissiz3432]

I would love to see a video all about your hair extensions. What you've used in the past, what you are using now, pros/cons, etc.

[@ChrisFarleyisGod]

YES!!

[@samanthag8432]

yes please! 😍

[@EllEnchanted]

Holly, oddly one of the most notable parts of that episode was you thinking of the valet and getting a Homie. It’s such a little piece of the episode, but at the same time, it spoke to me how thoughtful you are.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

I recently re-watched this episode, and I really enjoyed it. It was so nice to see Bridget with her family, especially at the cigar bar at the end. She had such a great support system around her.

[@amarrana2004]

I always thought Bridget was very lucky to have, at age 32-33, one grandparent, and I think at least two grandparents, still alive at the time of this episode, that she could meet and have a good time with.

[@mariaw.5141]

I agree…my husband is 41 and still has 2 living grandparents…I always tell him he’s very lucky…mine passed when I was a teenager.

[@nolaray1062]

At 35 (almost 36) I still have two of mine. Sadly one is homophobic with dementia and the other lives with her son who is also homophobic so I never get to see.

[@Snakesnarl]

I think I was 26 when my last grandparent died

[@mirandagolightly]

I'm 45 and was 4 for my only living grandparent passed and I was 25 when my mom passed and 38 when my dad passed. I always think people are so lucky to have grandparents and parents.

[@akm2743]

I had my grandmas until I was 32 and 38. I’m 46 now and I miss them every day.

[@birdy369]

Ever since i was little I've always loved hearing people tell stories. Just even little nonsense things that they experienced in their life. The crackpipe in the phone room is one of those stories lol. Love hearing you talk about your life behind the scenes. Even if it does seem like uninteresting nonsense, I find myself so interested in it for some reason lol! Edit: YES i loved homies! I had the big poster with all of the characters on it as a kid lol

[@blessedemily0705]

Omg it is NOT just you I've said this a handful of times and I totally feel the part where your wanting to "re-evaluate" your life because I've been doing the same thing since Halloween ended yesterday my theripist said to not be so hard on myself.

[@elsarios1091]

Yaaaas! I live for these, Holly! I’m sad to think you may stop at season 1 😭 why not do the whole series? I sooooo enjoy hearing what really went on behind the scenes from your perspective.

[@elizabethfish5593]

She said in one of the first episodes of her reaction series that rewatching it brings up some negative feelings and trauma for her. So because of that I totally get that she wouldn't keep doing it. But for my selfish sake I totally agree with you and hope she keeps doing them! 💜

[@Jessssajess1]

She said when she watches them her mental health suffers. I’d love to keep watching these but would understand if she stops . She looks sadder and sadder as each episode airs.

[@janaydanielle3403]

I at least would love to see her do the Christmas episode of season 3 bc that was one of my favorite episodes 🎄

[@Cmc995]

The reality shows about nothing used to work when there was likable characters/people. Today it’s rare to have good personalities of reality tv stars, and there is still shows that try and don’t last lol everyone liked watching you guys!

[@heatherspence3848]

My brother and I were Homie Collector’s! That scene made so happy because of you

[@joannew184]

I loved this indepth video: 00s limos, costume changes, random crack pipes - it has it all. 😄

[@sarahserrrato3237]

Holly! I loved watching The Girls Next Door when I was younger, and I still do! The fact that you can watch the show now, and just talk about your experiences with a smile, says a lot about you! Thank you for being such an inspiration! ✨ Sending positive vibes your way ✨

[@retromoviefan944]

Hi Holly! it's so fun to be able to leave a comment for you! I LOVED GND and watched it every week. I miss it. I was going thru some stressful things during the time it was on, and for me, it was pure escapism. I always felt uplifted. I loved that the shows were "about nothing"....all the little random scenes and daily things that happened to you and the other girls was something new for me to see. And no, I didn't think "eww these girls are living with this old dude". Maybe I was naive, but I never really thought about it one way or the other, so I think you are being too hard on yourself to feel that those of us in the audience were thinking that. I just enjoyed the show for what it was - light hearted entertainment. I loved seeing your outfits, the interior of the mansion and other scenes. So, i hope my comments lift your spirits about that era which I know wasn't the best for you. I would guess that most people watching felt the same way...we enjoyed the show on its own merits and didn't overthink it or overanalyze it, because hey, that's what makes life stressful. For whatever its worth, the show gave a lot of us a much needed escape from our own lives! Luv your channel, new subscriber!

[@LiterallyVee]

Omg a girl I went to school with got a “teacup” pig that ended up growing into adult size but they were such animal lovers, they kept their hog even when she became full size

[@cherriedarling9243]

Holly i watched this show with my sisters as teenage / kids . And bridgets comments for example . For us definitely u guys were living the life , we were too young to see an edgy side of the thing too much . We just had a blast seeing u guys looking like precious dolls at the mansion and having fun like any other mtv or somewere else show at the time did . U guys were very inspiring for us ❤️‍🔥☄️

[@paulinatarasiuk6316]

Me the same like you I watched this show with my sisters as teenage 😀

[@jewell33]

"when you see a crack pipe, you know it's a crack pipe". You're hilarious Holly. I love all of your content.

[@LLGC510]

who’s crack pipe was it???!!!

[@cherrrymeowmeow]

the cough “playboy” @4:15 part is so funny LMAO😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ChrisFarleyisGod]

Please keep these commentary videos going Holly! Its nice to hear from your current point of view and your reflections now. I m super curious to see what you have to say about some of the last episodes you were in.

[@BethanyGayle]

I keep going and watching an episode and coming back here to then hear your reaction and every time I am shocked and how different you sound! Love this series.

[@mafayfyrafa]

I just discovered your channel cause I started to watch 1 episode of GND, and I saw you on TikTok so, I figured you would have KZbin channel! I saw your reaction to e1 S1 so I started to watch the whole serie! I watch an episode and I watch your reaction to it

[@kristinepps8536]

I 100% feel you on the end-of-october blues. It is NOT just you lol! 🧡

[@01Lenda]

Holly, this past 2 yrs have been mentally, spiritually and physically challenging to us all. The pandemic has caused all kinds of crazy in the 🌎 world. Not just you feeling this way, honey. Maybe not just re-evaluate your life, just some things. I know today, I am much more grateful for those folks, still in my life and my life in general. Take care, hugs and love ❤.

[@aaashley20]

Haven’t finished watching this yet but I enjoyed this one so much! You sounded so happy. I know some of the other episodes brought up bad memories but I’m glad you are enjoying yourself with this one 🖤

[@wendytart9640]

I hope you do these for every season😃 I loved GND and Hollys World!!!

[@BentleyReeseKendall]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this content and I hope you continue it right into the Hollys World episodes!!

[@brennalefebvre9236]

It's not just you Holly. Thank you so much for your videos. Your honesty is refreshing ❤️ Needed it this morning.

[@TheOmgkamer]

To answer your question: yes they stomped grapes in ancient times but since then it has been replaced by machines. BUT some companies say it's the best way to get the fermentation process kickstarted and adds intensity. Lol anyway...

[@gingerspice1788]

i feel the exact same way about this halloween hangover sadness ! the roots of our holidays revolve around the ritual of food growth and this time of year we are surrounded by death as the plants lose rheir leaves and everyone is confronted with the anxiety of lack of resources and if we will shrvive the winter. so we have to sit and evaluate our behaviors that naturally die in the winter. you arent alone and i am so appreaciative of your videos, i read your whole book after watching the full season of gnd

[@heatherspence3848]

You mentioned having the rug pulled out from under you at any given time. The first three episodes I watched every time you released one and you did tell people that for your own mental health you may not continue. That is how I feel every time I see a new video you released is that you could stop doing it any day and I literally look forward to each and everyone of these reaction videos. And I would love to even see Bridget do it or U2 a couple episodes together! I doubt you’ll read this much less respond but I hope you feel much better where you are in this journey right now than you were those first three episodes that I could tell were hard for you to watch. The seasons get better maybe for us but then again what do we know? We would love to be told Through your eyes, the good, the bad, and the silly fun and indifferent times.

[@OfficialHollyMadison]

I’ll keep doing it as I have time!

[@heatherspence3848]

OMG did I just get a comment from Holly! Clutch the pearls. That literally just blew my bonnet off. I’m so happy that people read good things about themselves and not just the ugly things that people that are ugly inside have to say. How can you not love this girl?

[@AmberlyPerez]

I love that we can see glimpses of the tv in the mirror lol. Thank you for continuing to do this!

[@kristinehenneman1486]

Yes! My husband has friends that got a teacup pig and the thing is massive! The first time I went to their house I didn't know yet that they had a pig and when I saw it napping I screamed..... it was HUGE and I was not expecting to see a huge pig in their living room. But bless their hearts they kept it and it's their house pig:))

[@TheAllowishes]

I love this episode! Especially from being from Lodi 😊

[@Ash-jr4gq]

i love this series, its so interesting to hear your commentary about it!

[@hillarydresch3707]

Holly, you are such an inspiration. I completely understand where you are coming from. I love how down you earth and real you are. I’ve been through the same situations you have been through. Most people don’t understand because they haven’t been through it. It just sounds “crazy” to them. But, I love the way you just ignore those people with so much negativity. Thank you so much Holly for telling your story and for these videos and I hope you continue to do them. ❤️

[@silviatunnell8514]

I used to live in Lodi and my x husband actually went to high school with Bridget, she's the town's claim to fame! 😁

[@AnitaBath10]

Was she the same? Holly was def the smartest so it kills me that Bridget got to be the college girl "smart" career one.

[@magicskyway]

Bridget was one of my aunt's third grade students! And she worked with my cousin's wife. And went to the college where I teach. She's definitely the "it's a small world" GND castmember.

[@itsdeanya]

Ohhhhh I miss my Homies. I moved to Germany with 3 suitcases 8 years ago, and you just now made me remember them. Ohhhhh, I miss them. How wonderful they were! Thanks for continuing to do these. Well, when you did, I mean. The podcasts are great too now.

[@Trixiepi]

i’m feeling the same way about reevaluating my life! I just started a new job and i’m not sure i like it, and that launched me into this whole spiral of “what am I even doing with my life and what’s truly important to me”. definitely need to make some changes both in my surroundings and my mind

[@_anon_4532]

I’m a Capricorn rising and I def feel that way. Venus is about to be in Capricorn til March and I just feel like completely changing everything from my day-to-day routines to my appearance to how I’m investing my money to my social media.

[@claudiahoward7944]

In the episode for your sister's wedding, did the show cover the costs of the wedding for it to be filmed? I've always wondered why she wanted/allowed it to be filmed. Thanks if you can answer!

[@Ashas.Garden]

👆🏾 i hope she answers this question

[@yvettebasson1243]

She says in her book that her sister agreed for the wedding to be filmed because they had a destination wedding and that way more of their friends and family could see the wedding at least.

[@sophierobinson6041]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was filmed so Holly was allowed to go and actually stay a few nights as long as the other girls went too?

[@andreamulzer5762]

Either they did or did not it's all the same mumba'jumble. Duh and why is that important ... Unless your one of those

[@blaisebowling9352]

You say that nothing much is happening in the episode but perhaps all three of you were really entertaining personalities so that filled the content for the show really well? I know that I adored learning the background of all three of you over the years! You were all very interesting in my humble opinion ❤️

[@mirella8733]

Anyone else watching the reflection of the TV on the mirror? Lol, thanks for the video Holly

[@mrscastillo7229]

Love how real she is about the mansion after her experience there! lol thank you for not signing that paper work! Lol

[@Autumn_Sunrise]

It’s totally not just you, but for me the whole month of October was bad vibes. I caught COVID Oct 3rd. After I recovered from that, my stomach illness flared up and I was in bed vomiting for 4 days. Then in the middle of it and even now, family issues that we rarely ever have. So something is in the air for sure, and even though I love Halloween, I love Christmas as well! So that has cheered me up a little bit.

[@nicolekaye1236]

I totally agree with you on that one. I found out my BF was texting another female and then my cousin got covid and he passed away on this past Tuesday and also some family things that I would never ever think about happening happened to me and my daughter and just so much bad for me as well

[@Autumn_Sunrise]

@@nicolekaye1236 Oh my god!!! I’m so sorry! That is a heart dropping moment when you find something like that on a spouses phone. I’ve been with my husband for 11 years. When year 7 came, he suddenly started dating a very young girl behind my back and I found out by breaking into his Facebook and seeing the girls name being searched. That’s something I wouldn’t wish on anyone. We did eventually thankfully recover from it. I’m also sorry about your cousin passing away =( That’s another thing I can relate to as well. My very close cousin passed when I was 16 years old, what a rough time. I hope you know it’s not your fault, you’re worthy of respect and love and faithfulness. I also hope things get better, which they will in time but right now you will be going through it. What a weird month October was, so much stress all of a sudden out of nowhere.

[@nicolekaye1236]

@@Autumn_Sunrise That's kind of crazy yeah we are going on 10 years this January and it feels like we are comfortable with day ti day we both work and he works out of town and I never ever thought that he would do this like I guess sober but we are in counseling and communicating more then we have been and we have a small family and he wants to work but I'm still side eyeing snd I'm really good at investigating and finding things out but I actually didn't belive it at first but I know relationships are work constant and I'm hurting for his daughter who is 13 the same age as my daughter and they are always around and shes always here so it was hard watching him pass away they took the ventilator tube out and we watched him pass away so it's very still real in my mind but thanks for the words ❤ it really does mean alot as I know alot of people actually go thru almost the same situations

[@smithkrall]

I feel you too. We've all just been thru it and are reevaluating. I am really appreciating your comment videos about your time on the show & at the mansion. I'm sorry if haters have affected you. How we live and make our decisions are as varied as the stars. It is so cool, so amazing to hear your perspective now and I hope you write another book. 💛

[@beatnikish]

This was a cute episode; love your reaction to it. Land lines (phone rooms) feel so strange to me now. Mini pigs were a total scam (Esther the Wonder Pig is a great IG account to follow! ) Thanks so much, love you!

[@ellierush9441]

I love these. All of them.

[@UltimateDorito]

Halloween is the witch's new year, called Samhain (Sow-wen), so it's actually a fantastic time to re-evaluate your life and set intentions for the new year. Good intuition! 😊

[@hayleymason7694]

I absolutely love these reaction videos your doing, purchased down the rabbit hole because of them, got it on Friday morning… and I just finished it This afternoon (Saturday) I couldn’t put it down!

[@virgie4715]

Before I even really start this video, it’s *not* just you! I’ve been going thru the exact same thing especially since my “Halloween spirit” has started to die down a bit lol. I think I’m trying to subconsciously battle the seasonal depression that’s gonna creep it’s way in.

[@laurenseidel]

So you were definitely always my favorite on the show, and the one I felt got the focus on the show. So interesting that you felt you got less screen time! Maybe you were just the one I related to the most!

[@MindfulTatiana]

I felt exactly like that after Halloween.

[@beckylg8176]

I always loved that gold shrug like LOVED to the point i searched and serched for it. Not knowing u made it at the time🤣😂🤣😂. Id totally still wear that...

[@michaeldickens7493]

I feel the same way holloween was over to fast and Thanksgiving

[@AK-co6qp]

Okay I am so wanting you to do a reaction of the season 4 episode 16 where those poor dudes have to carry the 7 foot tall Frankenstein sculpture around the mansion to different rooms. Hahaha I am watching now cracking up at all your girls faces 🤣 the one dude is profusely sweating

[@tabathalomas7128]

It is so weird how back in the day I loved the show...and I started re watching it...and so many cringy parts. Now love watching you reacting to the episodes and the behind the scenes stuff. Poor Stacy in their episode, but thank God for a good sense of humor

[@gingerspice1788]

i loved finding out youbare from alaska i am too and the scene in the bar was just great. growing up in a place that you are hours and hours away from just more alaska really created this feeling of creating isolation as an adult

[@angelajones4922]

I’ve been re watching these episodes and Jsut happened to watch this episode last night lol you and Bridget are my favourite 💕

[@tara8257]

omg Holly i felt the exact same way after halloween!!! I was literally depressed for like almost an entire week

[@samiicat4073]

“I don’t wanna go back to real life” Yes, my sentiments exactly 😽🙏

[@corinnamarie5924]

The only time I've used a limo is for weddings or a few times my friends and I have all gone in on a limo for a night out.. once for a birthday party another time a bachelorette party but if you have at least 10 people it's only like 30 bucks a person including the tip.. which is way cheaper than an Uber and you get it for a few hours

[@lauriedavies6514]

Didn’t George clooney get a mini pig that wasn’t a mini pig 😂😂😂

[@Imberis]

Love these videos! I think the posing like Vanna White must've been a 2000s thing because one of my best friends did it in every single picture. Sometimes she still does it even today if we manage a group picture!

[@amandalopez4485]

Literally feel the same way !!! I thought I was the only one !! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️

[@kristinav3177]

Bridget needs to start her youtube channel up again! Love ur vids x

[@violetvasquez-lavender8997]

Hi Holly! Thanks again for another great insight! I’ve really enjoyed watching your point of view commentary on season 1 so far. I know this has probably rehashed some bad or negative memories for you and the selfish part of me wants you to review all 5 seasons but not if it costs you your peace of mind. I guess we’re all just very curious as to what you really think of what was pieced together for episodes. I wouldn’t necessarily say that GND was about nothing. It was about the random things you guys did for fun and the parties and who you all hung out with.

[@florida2952]

Ouh the crackpipe! Juicy! This was the best one yet!

[@ROYinka]

I have to say this one was one of my favourite videos ! Keep them coming Holly 😊👍🏻

[@oreoreo1534]

Oct. had 5 planets in Retrograde which is hugely impactful on humans and how they feel. Thankfully Nov only has 3 so we get a bit of a break but it still takes time to re-adjust

[@magicskyway]

Philips Farms/Michael & David Winery was my childhood pumpkin patch! It was trippy as hell seeing it on the show. Also, lol @ the crack pipe.

[@Squeak61]

I always got depressed after the holidays were over and still do. Not as bad, but yeah I can relate.

[@flowergirl5336]

Yes I had a Halloween hang over too ! This is how I feel too. Life revalue check for sure. Maybe we get so caught up in the season and then as soon as it ends we're like oh what next ? I love Halloween my bf promised we'd do more fall things in October something once every day of October ! But spoiler alert we only did Halloween on Halloween and didn't so anything ! Always the way nvm.

[@nicoleplzstfu]

I absolutely look forward to every video you do on these episodes. Please keep doing them!

[@janeillebraswell2519]

Holly!! I am so excited as we well be in vegas 12/2-12/18. I’d love to go through the haunted museum. I am such a fan, it would be an such an honor to buy you a drink and chat about other vegas must doexperiences!

[@AlexanderxKhan]

I saw that tubi has your show Holly’s world on there now. Could you do a reaction for that show plz? 😊

[@amberlikely420]

I love watching these reaction videos!

[@susansparanormalpennsylvan81]

i feel the same, i have been depressed since halloween ended, i am obsessed w/ halloween, i decorated outside in AUGUST

[@chrissievee76]

Halloween can be all year, Doll! My daughter and I are spooky all year. ❤️

[@LizRealGirlBeauty]

If you stop after the 1st season, could you do specific holiday themed episodes by themselves? I really looked forward to seeing you discuss the Christmas, Valentine's Day and Mardi Gras episodes, maybe your sister's wedding too!

[@LizRealGirlBeauty]

And yes, a friend of mine had a pet mini pig. But her mom was an agriculture teacher at a high school, so when the pig got too big it went and lived on the school farm. It was a literal farm that was part of the school, not a "the animal went to live on a farm but it really died" thing. I actually gave one of my horses to the farm. They had goats, cows, pigs, chickens, etc.

[@heatherspence3848]

Omg it HAS to be in the air! I’m feeling this as well. And then this time change coming up. Ugh 🤦‍♀️

[@tns2253]

I really enjoyed the show to be honest, it was horrible what you went through but your girls are so real beautiful and confident and i look up to that, and you took charge of your lives even though you were stuck in bad situations. Idk something inspired me about watching you three and how indipendent you are now. :) Xx

[@theguierrafamilia5398]

Living for these videos!!! Please keep them coming Holly

[@tonikajdasz4369]

Took my son to the Vikings vs Cowboys game on Halloween night and now I feel like I missed Halloween and I’ve been down all week. Also there were 3 limo’s at the Radisson Blu at mall of America where we stayed picking groups up for the game

[@misskarinaleigh]

Love watching your vids Holly. My personality is sooo similar to yours 💕

[@AmyBell03]

I still have my Halloween decorations up. I refuse to believe it’s over.

[@emileeegidi]

I have been watching the series since you have been doing the re-watches, and one of the main things I noticed is it they shoot out of sequence. Especially after reading your book, you can pinpoint when things were supposed to happen and how they filmed it and then the production taped and clipped it back together it's very strange.

[@heatherspence3848]

Your thought process is fascinating 🧐 I never saw these like your experience. Love you, lady. Sending love from Orlando Florida

[@ashleighlilley8245]

The seating in the movie room gives me school bus vibes 🤣

[@luisacosta2028]

You seem to be enjoying these more and more and having fun, I hope that's the case!

[@Erica-qb6tk]

Halloween hangover maybe, but feels like Scorpio season vibes

[@cvl1030]

I enjoyed this video and hope you feel better. I have the post Halloween funk too. But soon enough there will be Christmas!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Sorry to hear about your neck pain, Holly. That is such a horrible feeling.

[@cheesyDELISH48]

The mini pig thing wasn't a scam, people were just dumb. Micro or mini pigs are A LOT smaller than a standard sized pig. Regular pigs are like 400 lbs while a "mini pig" is like over 100 lbs or so. Idk if or why people were being mislead into thinking they were getting a pig that wasn't gonna weigh more than like 20 lbs 😂

[@uschilou]

Wow, I didnt know that!

[@erikaDeee]

I always loved the show

[@mkk8050]

I love your bed frame thingy!
