Welcome to Chippendales Episode 7: Paper Is Paper
With the second last episode of the show here, where do we stand in a series filled with egoistical wars and greed? With Welcome to Chippendales Episode 7, we dive right into our characters trying to do everything in their power to keep themselves sane, afloat as well as rich and relevant.
The preview for Welcome to Chippendales Episode 7 already revealed to us what was to come next- a competing Chippendales tour, of course! The episode opens with the segment showing how wonderfully Nick’s Chippendales tour is working out with Denise and Bradford in toe. But, soon enough, Somen- who is losing everything he owns- decides to up his side of the game with a Chippendales tour too! Although Nick advises him against it, Somen boasts that the club is his and he can do as he pleases.
This conversation leads to a series of unwanted affairs as Somen soon hears from Nick’s lawyers and gets engaged in drugs behind the counter. According to Irene’s suggestions, Somen has seemingly lost everything and, might even have to sell his house. All the struggle that hits Somen on the face only forces him to take drastic steps that do no one any good.
But, it is not just LA and Chippendales that get affected by the steps Somen takes. In fact, after Nick faces a dilemma of picking between Denise and Bradford, he too suffers the consequences of a man gone wild- this one, a little too over the line.
Welcome to Chippendales Episode 7: Final Thoughts
Welcome to Chippendales Episode 7 started off well but, instead of taking it the way the show has been taking it- one step at a time, there is a rush towards the second half of the episode and a frenzied end. Given what went down in the final moments of the seventh episode of Welcome to Chippendales, it seemed like a natural choice. However, when you put it against the entire show, something feels amiss.
Nonetheless, we all knew where we were heading with this show, right? Blood was going to be split and the frenzy of whodunit was inevitable. But, Welcome to Chippendales seemingly dealt more with thematic explorations than raging gore and, thus, this episode seemed a bit off. The urge to finish the show is real with only one episode left to wrap it up but, the tremendous actors could surely put some more weight in the latest episode of the show.
