They're from all walks of life. They're the hot women you see every day.
And now they've bared it all for our Playboy cameras.
On this episode of Playboys Girls Up, you'll meet the dangerous women of Fear
Factor.
Americans love to push their personal limit.
These days, that quest plays itself out on television's leading reality show,
Fear Factor.
Each season.
sexy young daredevils pit themselves against their greatest fears in an
effort to embrace the immortal words of President Franklin Roosevelt.
The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
Well, hold on tight because seven of Fear Factor's sexiest contestants
volunteered to push their personal boundaries one more time when they
agreed to appear new in the pages of Playboy.
Playboy has always been a dream of mine. There's so many famous people on there,
a lot of beautiful women. And Hugh Hefner, he's big time. And just to be in
his magazine, it's incredible.
You want incredible?
We'll show you incredible.
Let's meet Playboy's Women of Fear Factor.
Megan Allen.
Anything that they would throw at me on Fear Factor, I would do.
Tina Bishop.
I like to see how far I can go and set my goals and see if I can achieve it.
Colleen Brewster. I went on the show knowing that no matter what, I wouldn't
quit.
Meg Dolesky.
I did a lot of things I would never, ever in my lifetime done.
Amanda Dominick. Try anything once, that's my thing.
You know, never ask why, ask why not.
Monica Gonzalez.
I've always wanted to do Playboy. Now I feel more confident about myself.
And Kelly Hopper.
The main goal was to win $50,000, but I got this out of it, so it was a good
accomplishment. These seven women were brought to L.A. from all over the
country for one reason, to push their personal boundaries one more time and
become Playboys, women of Fear Factor.
Fear Factor has created an entirely new class of celebrity, ordinary people who
do extraordinary things.
Everybody has fears.
So everybody has either claustrophobia or a height or they're scared of spiders
or snakes.
It's an adventurous show, and anyone that watches the show... It will unlock!
They think, oh, I can do that, I can do that.
Given the phenomenal success of Fear Factor, a collaborative adventure with
Playboy was inevitable.
I was waiting for this to happen because our casting department does such a good
job of casting such hot people, sexy women, sexy men, and so I'm not
surprised at all that Playboy has done this, and I think it's going to be
great. The girls of Fear Factor.
Lori Zink is the show's associate producer.
Our women, I think, have a brand of their own.
They're hot, they're sexy, and Playboy obviously features hot and sexy women.
But what makes these girls unique, they are so strong-willed and so determined
and really do put the envelope.
So, who are the seven wonders of the reality television world that are about
to push their personal envelopes for Playboy in a way they never could on
national TV?
If I'm scared of something, I like to overcome that fear and see if I can get
past that.
Say hello to Tina Bishop. Tina lives in Dallas, Texas, and said yes to Playboy
in an effort to expand her horizons. I feel like I'm on the road to achieving
my personal best by doing this shoot. It's like a stepping stone.
Amanda Dominick is a Floridian who strives to live each moment to the
fullest. I am striving for my personal best. I'm more striving to just
experience everything.
I just want to make sure that I get the best that life has to offer.
Kelly Hopper from Gatesville, Texas, had survived Fear Factor, but she didn't
know if she had the courage to pose for Playboy.
I was like, man, those girls are brave.
They're pretty, you know, and an accomplishment to make. I've gotten more
comfortable with my body and not as self-conscious.
Colleen Brewster was discovered by Fear Factor in Las Vegas.
When it came to Playboy, she couldn't wait to roll the dice. I wanted to pose
for Playboy because I think it's a great opportunity to be seen by people from
all over the world, and hopefully something great will come from it.
Megan Allen comes from a small town in Pennsylvania.
For her, posing for Playboy was just as difficult as appearing on Fear Factor.
On the day of my shoot, it was exactly like Fear Factor. It was a big rush,
like the nerves. It was so weird, like I felt like I was at Fear Factor again.
Meg Dolesky calls L.A. home.
and was a Fear Factor audience favorite. We did seven episodes, and we made it to
the very end.
So, I mean, I did a lot of things that I would never, ever really do.
Monica Gonzalez is another Dallas daredevil who has wanted to be in
Playboy for as long as she can remember.
I've always wanted to do Playboy. I remember whenever I was young and I used
to see them under my parents' bed. I thought the girls were so beautiful, so
that's just something I've always wanted to do.
Playboy's Women of Fear Factor survived some of the most harrowing stunts ever
produced on television.
Now, they would need to face their fear of posing totally naked.
These girls have been covered.
They've been smothered. They've endured the worst and most disgusting meals you
could possibly imagine.
They've been made sick.
They've held their breath. They've collapsed with exhaustion.
Done it all, except they've never posed nude.
My biggest fear was being nude in front of everybody.
The first, okay, take your robe off. It's like, uh, okay.
I think I had a glass of wine.
And, you know, I just didn't think about it. I just hopped in bed for a minute.
With my robe? No, without your robe. Oh, I was like, okay.
Playboy, isn't it?
My biggest fear about posing for Playboy would probably be my grandfather getting
a hold of me.
Getting naked in front of a bunch of strangers is hard enough.
Taking it all off in front of people you know is even worse, as Megan Allen
discovered when she showed up for her Playboy photo shoot.
Yay!
Welcome back!
It's kind of hard with the crew behind me because my butt's hanging up.
In an effort to capture the reality of the TV show, Playboy decided to pose her
on an actual Fear Factor set with an actual Fear Factor crew.
Let's try leaning you over more, a little bit, and then get the boom a lot
lower. That's great, thanks.
We've done probably 200 stunts on Fear Factor, and this is probably the best
one so far.
Can you left a little more, Megan? Yeah, right there. Here we go.
That's it.
Really nice. Okay.
Yeah, that's all right.
I don't know why I was nervous. I don't know if I was nervous to get naked. I
really don't have a problem with that.
I think it's just the amount of people that were there.
Fear Factor's executive producer, Matt Kunitz, was not accustomed to his new
position as an extra.
Well, we were just looking at her butt the whole time.
Rebecca had a particularly good view. Here's Rebecca looking right up at her
butt.
All the extras, like Matt, they were all behind me in my suit, and I was naked,
and I felt weird them staring at my butt. We kept joking about it, Matt and
I, like back and forth, and it was fun.
Great, great, great.
Right in there. Yeah, wow. Nice, nice, nice.
Just a little smile.
Good, Megan.
See if I can just press more. Right there, right there.
Great, great, great.
Thank you. Yeah, right there. A little smile.
Very nice.
Good job, Megan.
Megan's appearance on Fear Factor was a chance for her to prove to the world
that she's not afraid of anything.
I think I'm a bit of a risk taker. I think going on Fear Factor you have to
be. I'm the type of person that likes to, you know, push my limits and with
being on Fear Factor I think I prove that to everyone.
My dad and I would watch it all the time and he'd be like, you can't do that
stuff and I just wanted to prove to myself that I could and to him.
Between Fear Factor and Playboy, Playboy was the most difficult decision.
Just because there were other people involved, my parents, my boyfriend.
Megan's boyfriend Jim came all the way from Pennsylvania to compete with her on
the TV show.
He also wanted to make sure his favorite girl was in good hands at Playboy.
I feel protective of her because she's my girlfriend and I love her.
It's hard to understand that other guys are going to be able to see her or look
at her the way that I do.
I noticed Jim was a little uncomfortable, but I think any boyfriend
would be. He's getting a little nervous, you know.
His stomach's starting to turn a little bit.
It's a different experience. It's not something that we do every day, you
know. And he sees me naked, but he's never been around a lot of people and me
naked at the same time. So he's good, though.
He's fine with it.
Megan hasn't let celebrity status go to her head.
According to her mom, she's still a down-home girl.
She's sweet, and even though I'm a mom, that's the way I think about her. She's
a sweet kid.
I never thought that she'd be in Playboy. I thought something big would
happen in her life. I'm so proud of her.
I think it's a great magazine.
If there's one thing Megan loves, it's adventure.
When she's at home, she can usually be found splashing around with her
boyfriend and their buddy.
on a couple of souped-up ATVs.
We like adventure.
When we're riding four-wheelers, it's hard to hang on with my boyfriend when
driving. I'm going to fly off this thing. Let's do it.
I don't mind getting dirty.
It's fun sometimes.
Once in a while. As long as I can go home and shower.
You look cute, though.
I'm going to take your hat.
But we have fun. It's fun. It's always fun.
Megan is really fun. Every time we go down to camp or we go four-wheeling or
wherever we go, she's always having a good time, you know, in the middle of
everything, which is good. I mean, you've got to have that. You can't just
have someone that's going to lag behind all the time.
When she's not tearing it up on an ATV, Megan loves to strip off her clothes and
go sunbathing.
I love sunbathing on the boat, on the beach, anywhere.
I'm a sun goddess.
My mom always yells at me, you're going to get old.
But I like the sun. The sun's my best friend.
I think I'm as sexy as I am in Playboy just because I'm just very girly.
Like Jim makes fun of me sometime because that's what my lip gloss on
before we go anywhere, and I like being girly girl though
She's
just a great person all around I mean personality looks everything I think
she's like the perfect girl to me You know that's what I've been looking for
and that's why I'm with her
Now that she's experienced both Fear Factor and Playboy, Megan can reflect on
their differences.
I was confident before I did Fear Factor. Going through all of that, you
push yourself to limits you didn't know you could. And so it's made me feel
like, you know, I can accomplish anything, at least try it. I never
thought that Fear Factor would lead to Playboy. I mean, when I went on Fear
Factor, I thought it was for one night. And it ended up being for six weeks. And
I thought something would come out of it. I didn't know what.
So after Playboy, I have no idea what to expect.
Each of the girls chosen for the pictorial had their own specially
designed set.
Playboy made sure they reflected the heart-pounding reality of Fear Factor by
incorporating elements from the show in each of their photographs.
You know, it was important that we had an accurate feel of Fear Factor. So
you'll see throughout the entire pictorial, very typical Fear Factor
elements, whether it's the helicopter, whether it's tarantulas, snakes.
I mean, we pretty much have covered everything.
When it came time to shoot Colleen Brewster's pictorial, the challenge was
to build a set that gave her the feeling of being in jeopardy without putting her
life in danger.
I'm going to be climbing the wall. I'm definitely looking forward to that. I
think it's going to be fun.
John is Playboy's set designer.
We're putting up the side of a building, and she's going to be hanging with the
harness from the back, and it's going to look like she's actually climbing up the
side of the building. Although she's not, she's only going to be about two
feet off the ground.
This is not going to be easy.
Are we okay?
Great. Here we go.
Smile. Good.
Once she got started and Colleen was placed in different poses throughout the
day, she began to understand what hard work getting one picture actually is.
The most difficult part about space shoe is actually hanging from the wall.
You got it. Great.
It's fine at first, but then after you're going roll after roll, your hands
start to hurt, and then you can't concentrate on what you look like.
Arch your butt for me a little more.
Yeah.
Very nice. Wow.
I feel semi-sexy in my head.
Looks really good.
I'm sure it will look really sexy in the picture, but I'm just concentrating on
looking good and holding myself up so I don't fall.
Doing good.
Whenever it's the most awkward pose and hurts the most is the one that they like
and you have to keep the longest.
I know it's not easy.
There's definitely a lot of adjustments and things that go on. It's not just
like one shot and then you're done. It takes a while. It has to be perfect,
which I don't mind it being perfect.
Colleen is a Vegas girl.
She lived there with her husband, Joe.
This is my wife of five years.
We actually met at a friend's house right out of high school.
The two of them feel right at home in Sin City and enjoy nothing more than a
hot summer night on the Strip.
It's been here in Las Vegas for almost two years now.
I like it a lot. I like it a lot. It's a great place.
Anything you could possibly want to do here.
Fear Factor discovered Colleen working in a Las Vegas nightclub.
They made her an offer that would change her life.
Fear Factor was something that I never thought that I would do.
But when you actually have the opportunity, everything changes.
To me, it was just an opportunity, and there was one out of six people that was
going to win $50,000.
And for me to turn that opportunity down would be something that I would look
back on forever and be like, why didn't I at least try?
But just going on the show, to me, proves that maybe I am a lot more
adventurous than I thought. I never gave myself an option to quit.
Colleen doesn't consider herself to be a daredevil.
I definitely would not say that I'm a daredevil type woman. I am not the kind
of person that goes out and does crazy things. That's why for me to do Fear
Factor was a huge accomplishment. And it actually made me way more confident in
myself.
The one thing.
Everyone wants to know from people who appear on Fear Factor is why.
Why do they do it?
I subjected myself to the gross ways of Fear Factor because look where it got
me. So I definitely think it was a good choice.
I'm definitely a sexy girl, a prissy girl. I love wearing heels, stilettos,
miniskirts.
The most excited person about me being in Playboy was definitely my husband. He
shared the excitement that I had.
And, like, we would both just look at each other and be like, I can't believe
that I'm actually going to be in Playboy. Like, just keep saying that.
Like, okay, do you believe that on Monday I'm going to be in Playboy?
She did it.
I'm proud of her for doing it.
After a long day in front of the Playboy camera, Colleen agreed the experience
made her feel sexy.
This does.
It's really exciting.
Looking back, she felt pretty good about what she'd accomplished.
In my wildest dreams, I would have never thought that I would have been in
Playboy magazine.
But it's definitely, on the other hand, a dream come true.
I'm definitely having fun.
The whole thing was a great experience from the minute I walked into Playboy
till I was wrapping up the photo shoot.
Good job.
It was just so awesome to be a part of that, and I just can't wait to see the
finished product.
Thanks, Playboy.
One of Fear Factor's favorite tools for creating a sense of danger is the
helicopter. For Meg Dylewski's layout, Playboy had created a scene that would
place her far above the crowd.
This is fun for me. Like, that sense is, you know, that before we stood, I would
be really nervous.
You know, I have my adrenaline going, and this is more relaxed and easy for
me.
Senior photographer Arnie Freitag was the magician behind the illusion.
We're simulating the helicopters.
We don't really want to do real helicopters. They're too hard to
control. So we simulated by building the helicopter with DC piping and get up
back around the clouds so it looks like she's hanging in the sky. But in
reality, like our building shot, she's only a foot or two off the ground. But
it looks great. It looks like she's flying through the air.
As it turned out, this scenario reflected one of Meg's real fears.
I'm afraid of heights. That's stuff that I would never, ever, ever, ever do.
On the other hand, she has no fear of getting naked.
I'm pretty outgoing. I'm really not a shy person.
I'm not at all. Obviously, I'm standing in front of you naked.
There's nothing there.
What the hell? You look so little.
On the morning of her shoot, Meg was the first girl to show up without a case of
nerves. Instead, she had a case of the flu.
I'm not feeling so hard right now. I'm getting, you know, I had the stomach flu
yesterday, so I'm kind of like really nauseous right now.
Let's see, it's Saturday morning.
It was after Friday night, right? What would you figure out?
Wouldn't you figure it would be probably partying too much last night?
It sucks being, you know, it's really bad timing because I haven't been sick
for like a year. And it's like it has to be right now.
Like, I thought I could hang for a little while, and then all of a sudden I
just started feeling really nauseous. So I'm going to lay down, I think, while
everyone eats lunch and try and feel a little bit better.
It started at 9 o'clock this morning. I got a phone call on my cell phone. I
thought, uh-oh, what's going on?
Apparently she's sick and was throwing up last night, but she's a tripper.
She's been sick before on our show.
We'll get her up on the helicopter regardless.
Fortunately, Meg was back on her feet in no time.
Proving to everyone that she is anything but bashful.
Oh, I feel so much better. I actually threw up and I think I got a little out
of my hips myself.
I feel normal now.
Is that the same girl this morning?
Huh? Is that the same girl? I don't know. You guys, I was so sick this
morning, and I threw up, and now I think I got it all out, so I feel better.
She's a glamour doll. It's so glamorous.
Meg's a handful.
We love Meg. She's a handful. She has a strong personality.
Hey. Hey. She just completely changed in one hour, day and night. Turned around
180, whole new person.
So I was real happy. I won't count it all day.
She rebounded. She's back.
Am I going to be smiling?
We'll do it.
We'll do it.
Point that left toe, please. Yeah.
Nice. As Arnie moved around the studio looking for the perfect angle, Meg was
left hanging on for dear life.
This is actually kind of straining the hold on to the ladder, but it's cool.
If I like it, it's a cool set.
Love that. Love that. That's not right.
Big smile.
Yahoo, yeah. Big smile, yeah.
Lots of these.
Take it back. Yeah, yeah.
That's nice. That's nice.
Right to the back, yeah. Big smile.
This is fun for me. I love, I mean, this is fun.
Getting some food in my stomach.
Just using all my energy to hang from that.
Darn cold.
It hurts.
Great.
Head way back. Good, good, good.
That's great.
Meg, come on.
Get down there, Meg.
Meg is not the kind of girl that lets a little adversity slow her down.
I couldn't breathe. I couldn't breathe.
I don't know why.
Just as she had the energy to complete 22 stunts on Fear Factor, she managed to
finish her Playboy photo shoot and make it back to the TV show for her next
round of challenges.
You know, we got picked to be in Playboy, which is kind of like a cool
deal. You know, not everybody gets to be in Playboy.
Really nice.
I think it was awesome. It was amazing. I had tons of fun, even though I was
really sick.
Last few shots.
One more. Arch your butt. Arch your butt. Yeah.
It's a wrap. You're done.
At the end of the day, Meg Gillespie went home a winner.
All right, guys. That's a wrap.
It's been fun. Thanks for hanging out for the day.
Got some nice shoes. I'll see you guys later.
Each of the girls discovered that although posing for Playboy is
intimidating at first, once they got into it and relaxed, the pictures got
sexier and the experience was a bit of a turn on.
Thinking back about posing for Playboy, I think it's more sexual than actually
when I did it. If you feel sexy, you're going to be portrayed as sexy.
I feel sexy.
My boyfriend said I look sexy.
I think the more we take pictures, the more relaxed I get.
Give me a couple sexier ones. It's kind of sexual just to be nude, and you just
feel real sexy.
Absolutely everything about Playboy is sexy, I think. I love Playboy,
personally. As a woman, I think it's amazing.
Sexy means different things to different people, as Amanda Dominick discovered
when she showed up at Playboy's studio and came face-to-face with Mr.
Big.
This snake was so big. I mean, in the pictures, it does not do it justice.
Oh, yeah.
Okay. Here we have our little creature for today.
This guy is going to be our little famous guy. His name's Big.
He's a Burmese python, about 13 1โ2 feet and about 120 pounds.
Could be important for a couple hours.
Wow, he's gorgeous. Man.
Playboy told me that I was going to be working with the snake.
I didn't know how big it was going to be. I asked them, I think, like the
night before, I was like, is this a big snake or a little snake? And I should
have known that Playboy does not just, you know, bring in a little snake. They
go all out.
This is insane.
What have I gotten myself into?
This was the first time any of the girls had expressed a real feeling of fear.
You okay with this, Amanda?
Good. You sure?
Yep, got it. This shoot was really funny because I think at first, like, They
thought that they could just wrap it around my body and it would go whatever
way that they wanted it to go. You know, it's just like normal, but the snake had
a mind of its own, and it didn't always want to go what direction they wanted it
to. And they would try and get me to manipulate its head to go a certain way,
and I'm like, this snake does not want to do what I want it to do. He just
doesn't want to bend the way I want him to bend.
He's like, you're easy.
You've got a great pole right there.
Really good, yeah. I'll give it to you.
For five bucks.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
See where it goes.
It was kind of freaky at first, but after a while, it was all right. I kind
of got used to it.
I mean, you're shooting with it for six hours or more. You kind of get used to
it, and you're not as scared anymore.
At least that's what happened to me.
Got it.
Got it?
I don't know if you're going to be able to fix my hair like this. Let's try it.
Here we go.
Give me a couple of smiles while you're at it.
Yeah, why not?
Very nice.
Face the camera more. A lot more face.
Try a little softer, sexier look.
I know it's hard.
Eventually, everybody settled down, and Amanda, Arnie, and Mr. Big began working
as a team. I think he likes it.
He feels comfortable.
Let's keep him like this. Yeah, it's a great experience.
Very well-trained snake.
The show's called Fear Factor, so how many people like snakes crawling around?
Both are strictly pythons in this case.
Amanda never worked with Spike, so this is her first time. This turned out to be
her Fear Factor for Playboy.
She did a great job. Very proud of her.
That's a big snake you've got.
We're pretty good friends now. We're like this.
When Amanda's not posing for Playboy or appearing on Fear Factor, she's working
at Hooters in Tampa while studying to be a dental hygienist. My personality is...
I think at first I'm real quiet. You don't know me that well.
I think I'm pretty genuine, though. You know, you ask me how I feel about
something, I'll tell you honestly.
And once you get to know me, I'm a pretty outgoing person, willing to try
anything.
For Amanda, it's important to keep things spontaneous and exciting, even if
she's just washing her car.
Every car I wash, I try to wash it probably because it makes me feel more
free.
Sexy. Very, very dirty girl. I have to get clean, too, while I'm washing my
car.
All the suds in the water and everything turns me on.
Being topless with it and rubbing my boobs across the car makes me feel good.
I'm very much an excitement junkie. I don't like it when life is boring.
Something always has to be happening to make it interesting.
I definitely have a wild side. I'm 22.
I'm single. I'm in college.
I'm, yeah, I'm definitely, I can be crazy sometimes.
But at the start, I'm a good girl.
Amanda believes the most important thing to do in life is to live it. I want to
try everything and do everything.
live life while I can.
Once I'm older and have a job and a family, I want to look back and be like,
I've definitely gotten the most out of life and done what I could while I was
young.
For Amanda, making the decision to say yes to Playboy led to one of the most
exciting phone calls of her entire life.
One girl, Amanda, literally got into a car accident when I made the proposal.
You know, I caught her on her cell phone, and she rear-ended somebody as
soon as I mentioned Playboy. Keep your face straight to me. Get straight, yeah.
Wow, nice pose. Nice, nice, nice.
Fear Factor called me first and said, you know, congratulations to your
finalists for Playboy. I was like, oh, my God.
Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry. I'm just so excited.
I think it hit me right, like, towards the end of the conversation. She's like,
it's okay.
I was like, I can't believe this.
The first person she called was her mom.
My mom was the first person I told. I actually was driving to work, so I was
in the car.
And I was like, Mom, Mom's in there.
She's like, you're going to have to calm down. I can't understand you. I'm like,
playboy. She was like, oh, she was so excited for me.
Amanda's friends were also thrilled.
I have the most amazing group of friends. They couldn't have been more
supportive.
I think this playboy thing is really going to skyrocket her career.
She's very interesting looking.
I love being on the wall.
I've always looked at her as a beautiful girl and everything, but I don't think
she realized it herself until somebody actually came up to her and showed her
that she's capable of doing all this stuff.
I have no regrets.
I'm so glad I did it. I would do it again in two seconds if Playboy ever
asked me to. I think it's a wonderful thing. I feel privileged.
Bye, guys. Thanks. It's been fun.
That says Amanda.
That says the Playboy.
Rock on.
All the girls from the Fear Factor shoot have one thing in common. They each had
to tell their family and friends, boyfriends and husbands, that they were
about to be in Playboy.
Every single one of these girls had to ask somebody.
Everybody had to ask whether it was a mother, a boyfriend, a husband. They all
had to check with somebody.
But surprisingly, I would say 98% of the people we approached with the idea came
back wanting to do it.
When I first posed for Playboy, my parents...
We're kind of iffy at first, especially my dad.
Actually, it was more my mom than my dad.
But after I talked about it with them some more, they were comfortable with
it.
My parents don't know that I'm supposed to play Wii yet, and I'm not going to
tell them until they find out.
Then I'll deal with it tomorrow, maybe.
My dad would kill me if he knew I was doing this.
That's my problem.
I called my mom, and I told her, and she was really excited.
That meant a lot to me.
Her family support and the chance to appear on Fear Factor gave bikini model
Kelly Hopper the opportunity to prove to herself that she was more than just a
shy country girl.
I wanted to go on Fear Factor because I wanted to see if I could, like,
challenge myself. And I was watching the show, and I was like, no, I don't want
to do it. And then I was like, no, I'm going to do it because I'm going to
prove to myself that I can do it.
Like most of the women who appear on Fear Factor, Kelly is a bit of an
adrenaline junkie.
I would say that I was a daredevil.
I'm not scared of heights or anything.
I've always loved roller coasters, and I'm not really scared of anything.
While Kelly tested her physical and emotional limits on the national TV
show, when it came to Playboy, she had to face a new, more intimate challenge.
While Kelly was nervous about getting naked...
She seemed at ease with the scorching desert setting. We were in the sand
dunes, and they were beautiful.
I was behind a sand dune buggy, and Fear Factor had shot a stunt on a dune buggy,
so that was my theme.
Stand up a little bit. Tilt your head away from me a little bit.
One, two, three.
I was like laying behind the dune buggy and was just kind of, you know, the dune
buggy was in the background and the sand dunes were in the background. So it was
a really neat experience.
As the day progressed, Kelly began to realize that a photo shoot in the desert
was anything but glamorous.
Face left.
Face to your left.
No smile. It really is hard work. It's not what people expect, you know. I
mean, all they see is the pictures.
And they think, oh.
That's a beautiful picture, yeah, after like 10-hour days of work.
You're going to get some beautiful picture out of that, meaning rolls of
film they saw to me, they saw like 13 rolls of film. So it's not as glamorous
as what people think it is. Wow, nice, nice.
Face you left a little bit and chin up.
Yeah, right there, right there.
When it comes to Kelly's personality, her buddies will be the first to tell
you. You can't judge a book by its cover.
At first when you meet her, she's a very delicate person.
Very quiet with that southern accent. Nice to meet you. And just very blonde
and Barbie-like.
And then, well, if you give her a beer, forget about it because she's the
biggest free spirit you'll ever meet. She always makes people laugh, feel good
about themselves.
Kelly and her girlfriend are charter members of a very exclusive club they
call the Texas Bikini Team.
probably like 30 bikinis.
My friends love me. They're like, Kelly, we only buy one bikini every year for
the summer and you have like 30 or 40 bikinis because I'll go to a party and I
won't wear the same bikini more than once in front of the same people I've
been around.
I like this one because I call it my bad girl seat.
When I wear this seat, it makes me feel like I'm a bad girl.
You like this one? Yeah, that's cute. I'm loving that one. Kelly thought
posing for Playboy was a liberating experience.
I've always been really shy about my body.
I'm usually, like, walking through, covering my body like this.
Or this.
Good. Chin up a little higher.
That's nice. That's nice, Kelly. Eyes really bright. Chin up. Head up higher.
Chin up. Yeah, nice.
Look a little. Yeah, that's nice. A little smile.
That's a phone. Yeah, that's great.
Kelly is a great girl. She's just real fun and bubbly.
She's a redneck girl.
A redneck girl is definitely what I would use to describe Kelly. I think
that's why we get along so well.
Nice stride flick.
See old Texas handoff.
I need you to slide your feet towards this way.
I like that. That's good. When it comes to her 15 minutes of fame.
Kelly is philosophical about the experience.
It's fun, you know. I'm not looking into trying to be some movie star or
anything. I'm having a lot of fun right now, and wherever it takes me, you know,
it'll take me. I'm the type of person that I'll go get something that I want,
and this is something that I've been working for for the past six and a half
years. And it's finally the hard work paying off, and I just feel like if it
takes me, further in my life, then I'll be happy with that.
Oh, he's got a hot one.
Like he wouldn't notice, right?
Pin up, Phil. Face that way. Pin up. Right there. Right there.
It's a wrap.
Yay!
Vacation.
As all the women in the pictorial discovered, modeling for Playboy is
tough, but nothing can compare to a stint on Fear Factor.
I definitely don't feel as much danger doing the Playboy shoot as I did when I
was eating the roadkill or, you know, jumping from beams.
We had to drink maggots, but they blended them first.
On Fear Factor, I was a wreck. I was sick to my stomach, so it was mixed
emotions. Up to this point, all the Fear Factor shoots had come off without a
hitch. The jeopardy that was in each of the photos was always artistic.
Suddenly... The danger became a reality.
We had a tank built, especially for the shot, and the whole thing exploded.
There was too much water pressure from the inside of the tank to the outside,
and the whole thing literally exploded.
The chamber was, there was too much water in it, too much pressure, too much
weight, and it just blew apart.
The water had to get out.
It couldn't hold it.
I heard a crack, and I guess the box broke.
I was thinking, wow, if I was in there, that would have been a nice video clip,
huh? You could call it a stroke of luck that Tina was on the set at all. She was
a last-minute addition because one of our girls fell through.
No sooner than a day of being picked and chosen for Fear Factor was she given the
offer to do Playboy. So we just scored with her.
After making a few repairs to the set, Tina Day got back on track.
Time to go get wet.
Now she was ready for anything.
Anything but the cold.
So cold.
I didn't have a problem being naked, but it was freezing. I was like shivering.
I think I'm a permanently hard nipple.
One, two, three.
It was pretty easy except for the water was... freezing cold. I had like
permanent goosebumps.
Even though hard nipples make your boobs look better, so I wouldn't complain
about that.
They had me press my boobs up on the window and then I guess I left nipple
marks on it and so I had to wash it off.
It must have been the oil rubbed all over my body, left prints all over the
glass.
True chest.
That's it. That's it. There you go.
That's better.
That's later bikini. Pull forward a little bit. Both hands. Yeah, like that.
Like that. Bring your elbow back a little bit.
I've been photographed with, like, a thong and then covering up, like, an
implied nude.
But never completely in my birthday suit.
It feels different.
It's kind of exciting in general.
I thought I was going to be more nervous, so I'm kind of surprised that
I'm this comfortable just being naked around everybody.
Tina Bishop is another Texas treasure. She describes herself as... Falls to the
wall, especially when money is involved.
While in front of the camera, Tina's infectious energy brought light to the
set. Off camera, her friends agree she has the same effect on people.
Tina is the most awesome person I know. She's goofy, funny. I mean, everyone
who meets her is absolutely in love with her. I've never met anyone that doesn't
just love her.
She's awesome.
When Tina decided to pose for Playboy, most of her friends were shocked.
I'm like, girl, what are you doing?
Your mother's going to kill you. She was like, my mom, my dad's going to kill me.
All my friends are shocked. They're like, I can't believe you're doing it.
Are you sure you want to do it? And all my guy friends thought it was cool
because they're like, yes, I can see Megan.
Oh, boy. It kind of put me through a loop. I've known her for, I guess, like
five years now. She's always been like the life of a party, always get people
cracking. So she's always just happy.
Very sweet girl. Sweetest girl I've ever met.
Intelligent, really ambitious.
She's a very, very competitive person, so that definitely fit her to the unfair
factor.
In my everyday life, I'm probably not as sexy as my boy would portray me. I
definitely have my moments.
Like, when I go out to the bar, I put my little sex connect on and get all dolled
up. But normally, I'm not sexy.
When all was said and done, the day had turned from near disaster to one of the
best layouts of the pictorial.
Tina felt like her sex appeal had turned around too.
Actually, after the Playboy shoot, I do feel sexier. Just because seeing
yourself in those magazines like those girls, I never saw myself as sexy
before, but seeing myself in that light and the way they do your makeup and they
have you pose definitely makes you feel sexy.
We're on the last shot, and then Tina's taking a photo.
Move your body that way. Not like that. Right there. Right there. Perfect.
Great. There you go.
As Tina enjoyed her newfound sexy girl image, she took a moment to appreciate
her Playboy photos and how she had extended her personal best to take them.
I definitely pushed myself because it was so cold, and I still had to, like,
pretend like I was sexy, even though I felt like I was just shivering the whole
time, which I'm sure I was.
You want to make fun of it?
I guess Playboy is more the 15-minute thing.
Fear Factor, I'm just going to get a lot of crazy looks. And I'm sure God's never
going to kiss me again after eating more.
Fear Factor contestants like Tina eat worms and worse in an effort to win a
million bucks.
Monica Gonzalez and her husband Jackson did that and more and went home with a
million dollars.
We did 17 stunts, and there was so many things. I got buried with 500
tarantulas. I got buried in rats.
I had to jump off a helicopter.
I had to jump off a boat handcuffed. I had to drink a maggot shake blended up
with duck tongues, like rotten fish. But, I mean, they really made you win a
million dollars. They really worked you. I can't understand!
Why can't you understand?
You're just making me more autonomous!
According to Jackson, Their lives have changed dramatically since they became
millionaires. We have a lot more barbecues. We cook out more. Usually
it's steak now instead of burgers. You only put the charcoal on that one side?
That's all I needed. We're big on barbecues. We love to cook out, and, you
know, we like our sausage and our coleslaw and our beans, and so we always
eat barbecue all the time. It's real big in Texas.
I'm telling you, man, we got some good food here. For Monica, Fear Factor
proved to be the ultimate test of her personal limits.
I could just keep pushing myself because of the fact that I was on Fear Factor.
It's like, oh, you can do it. If you could do that on Fear Factor, you could
do anything. So I just keep pushing myself, and I don't give up now.
Give me your right knee. Keep your knees apart a little bit. Yeah, like that,
like that. To help Monica get into the Playboy zone, it was decided to recreate
her scariest stunt from Fear Factor.
We did a stunt on this show where I had 500 tarantulas dumped on me. And so when
they called and said tarantula, I'm like, oh, gosh. But they said one. And I
still was a little, I don't know. But one is not as bad as 500. So I can
handle it.
Cute. Give me a couple of sexier ones. Yeah.
Do the rounded lip thing, the whistle.
I love Monica.
She's so great. She's so little.
Well, some things are little, but she's a little girl. And she's so beautiful
and has just...
Such an amazing heart, and she's got an amazing relationship, and she was our
million-dollar couples winner.
We actually married her. We had Joe Rogan marry her and her husband,
Jackson, at the Mandalay Bay.
And so I've spent a lot of time with her. She clearly should be so
comfortable and confident with this spread.
And I think she's comfortable with herself. And so I think that she's more
than excited.
Of all the girls, I think that Monica's enjoying the limelight probably the
most. She's gotten a lot of attention.
And this is just icing on the cake.
Right there, right there.
You're looking right at the lens, right?
Good. A little grin.
Okay, relax.
You look great.
I'm happy as hell.
As Arnie set up the shot, he didn't think the fear factor was coming
through. That is, until he took a closer look.
It's funny because we all looked at him on set on her and it's like no big deal.
And then both her husband and I, we put a magnifier and the picture went, jeez,
it was scary. Yikes.
Oh, wow.
Wow. I'll give you that.
Wow. Yeah, freaking awesome.
The transpoil was weird because when it started crawling around, I was thinking,
oh, it's going to bite me. You know, one time they placed it on my boob. That was
kind of scary. I was like, it's going to bite my nipple. I didn't know what it
was going to do.
People were picking it up until he was handled, so he wasn't really a problem.
I got used to it after a while.
Well, that's nice. Yeah, I like that.
I feel like I'm crawling. I'm like... No, that's all right.
This is Larry the Tarantula. He's a Chilean rose hair tarantula. And he's
quite famous. He's been in quite a few shows. He's been on Fear Factor a couple
times. He's been on the E! Show.
He's been in a Hummer commercial.
He's got a pretty long resume, actually. He's doing Playboy today. This is his
favorite shoot, he told me this morning.
He's excited to be here.
Looks good.
It's kind of weird.
Yeah, it's weird.
I'm extremely proud of her. I mean, it's freaking amazing.
I can't believe I've got a wife this hot.
Monica was glad that Jackson had come along to support her.
I like me, the one with this outfit.
But what was it like for him?
I'm actually not nervous about Monica being naked in front of the crew at all.
I mean, as long as she seems very comfortable, so that makes me pretty
comfortable. And I like to show her off. She's gorgeous.
I mean, she's absolutely beautiful. Now everybody's going to know.
I've always been a big fan of you can look, but you can't touch.
You know, that kind of thing.
Can you chin up a little bit, Monica?
Nice.
When Monica's relaxing at home, she loves to wear her water wing.
Usually I hang out by the pool a lot. I like to, you know, tan and...
It's just so relaxing, and in Texas, it's so hot out here. It's like the best
thing to do is just to be by the pool.
I think nudity is sexy.
I mean, whenever I go on Replay Boy, you know, I look through the issues, and,
you know, the girls are attractive.
They make you feel warm and welcome, and the way they have the setting, it's just
really nice, and it's always nice to feel sexy.
Ooh, nice, nice, nice, great.
Eyes to me, eyes to me.
Big expression, big, big, big.
Yeah, again.
Well, I know I've been looking at her naked for about four and a half years,
but the Playboy shoot was, oh, my God.
I mean, it was like a totally different naked chick to me. I mean, they really
did her up like you wouldn't believe.
She looks amazing.
But, I mean, it was unreal. I carry them on my phone all the time. Every time she
calls, I get this picture of the set, the whole set, like in her laying on the
bed naked.
It's beautiful.
I actually remember the first day I found my Playboy 2. I was actually on a
scooter and I found it and I was like, wow, I want one of those when I grow up,
you know, instead of a scooter. So now I got one.
You look hot.
I can't get over how hot you look.
Oh, you can get it.
You don't go home and give you more than a kiss.
In addition to their desire to expand their personal horizons.
Each of the girls share another common trait. They can't wait to see the
results of their hard work.
I can't wait to see the issue because I actually got to see some of the pictures
that they took. And the ones that I saw, I mean, I thought they looked
incredible. So I can't wait to see what they look like in the magazine.
Wow, great, great, great.
Wow, that's good, that's good. I am actually very excited for my issue to
come out. I want the whole world to see me naked.
Good, good, good.
Put it down a little bit, yeah.
Put it down a little bit, yeah, right there.
Great. My pictures turned out well, so I'm excited to see the magazine.
Okay, Meg, let's cross your knee over.
Lock the hip, really curved.
Okay, relax. Thank you.
I'm so excited. I can't wait to see the issue.
All right.
I will want to say I saw my friends, but not my family.
Arching hip loss. Bring your left hand up higher.
Just bring your knee up higher.
Pass it.
It's a cool feeling, you know.
It really is cool knowing that people are going to see you out there.
Good, good, good. Love that. Love that. Touched out red.
Really nice.
I'm really proud of the pictures. I think that they're beautiful, and I'm
not going to be embarrassed or, you know, when people are like, oh, my God,
you actually saw you on Playboy. I'll be like, yeah, cool.
Don't I look hot?
You know, it'll be awesome.
A little break. A little smile.
Yeah, a little more.
I'm very excited to see the issue. I can't wait.
It's a major accomplishment.
Nice. That's beautiful.
Big smile.
Great. These are ordinary women doing extraordinary things, living proof that
if you can challenge your fears, you can reach your goals.
They are courageous, sexy, and now immortalized forever in the pages of
Playboy. I think viewers will love this issue. You know, all these reality shows
are on TV. Everybody wants to see the girls naked. That's why they're in
bikinis half the time.
The reality is most guys would like to see them naked. So here we are
presenting just that.
Here's how to grow naked.
Simple.
That's a wrap.
