Who Wants to Be a Playboy Centerfold

Mon, Jul 10, 202343 mins

Thousands of women across the nation vied for the chance to become a Playmate, but only 12 were chosen for the reality competition "Who Wants to Be a Playboy Centerfold?" The two-hour prime-time special aired on Fox in 2002, bringing together aspiring Playmates in typical house reality show fashion. Photo shoots at the Playboy Mansion and a nude centerfold layout culminated in eliminations and, ultimately, a winner, whose prize was to become the Playmate of the Month. Contestants share what the show was truly like, how the experience changed them, and how being associated with Playboy fulfilled dreams and also caused heartache.

60 Days In

9 Seasons
The concept of this show is great, the show and content was great and entertaining. Each person involved in their volunteered 60 day imprisonment wa well thought and planned out most of them had great inputs to help solve problems and make improvements in the jail. The major drawback is...if you enjoy watching the same material repeated every episode and only about 7 minutes of new material, you'll enjoy this series. It was frustrating just having to see the same stuff over and over and over.
