You never think of these things until their renewal announcements come on the same day. While Spike was busy ordering up a second season of Deadliest Warrior, E! couldn't sign the papers fast enough to bring Kendra back for a sophomore run. After all, Kendra's been all over the tabloids lately with her pregnancy and Playboy Mansion wedding.

So why not mash 'em up and have Kendra represented on Deadliest Warrior. You could do "Playmates vs. Porn Stars." Both groups are offensive to my grandmother's church, but they're actually quite different. Their first weapons could be "silicon implants vs. natural breasts." Warrior is on Spike TV after all. I'm sure their target male demographic would support it.

I wonder what will happen when Deadliest Warrior starts to run out of classic warriors to pit against one another? Will we get "Weekend Warriors vs. Ninja Warriors"? Iron Chefs vs. American Idols? Wait, I think I'm on to something here. Pokemon vs. Smurfs. 100 in each camp!

Everybody knows Kendra as one of Hugh Hefner's former girlfriends. The one-time stars of E!'s The Girls Next Door have left the mansion and moved on to their own projects. Bridget Marquardt has moved on to her own Travel Channel show, Bridget's Sexiest Beaches, while Holly Madison was just on Dancing with the Stars. It looks like E! went the right route by choosing to follow the youngest and wackiest of the bunch, Kendra Wilkinson.

Her self-titled new show premiered Sunday on E!, and Kendra set a ratings high not seen since the premiere of The Anna Nicole Show in 2002 with 2.6 million viewers. People love their former Playmates, apparently. As an admitted follower of The Girls Next Door; my wife has a thing for all things Playboy and I got sucked in despite myself; Kendra was always the girl that I found the most annoying. She was so childish and superficial... and that laugh! Oh my god, that laugh made me want to reach through the screen and strangle her! So no one was more surprised than me to find that I actually enjoyed this premiere.
