<p>...and some people <em>are </em>the party. Welcome back, Pep!</p><p>After a rousing round of kick-boxing...</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_1.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_1.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>...Salt is ready to party. Seriously! She and Pep sit in the gym while she explains that she wants to throw a party for her 16-year-old daughter, Corin. It's going to be a "boy party," too, which is sort of like a "chapter book" in that it's a milestone that includes an adjective adults might take for granted. Hopefully, this party will be more <em>Ramona Forever</em> than <em>Dear Mr. Henshaw</em>, because who wants to watch people sit around writing letters to a fictional novelist?</p>
<p>Anyway, boy party:</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_2.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_2.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_2.jpg" /></p>
<p>Salt says that she's a "cool mom" and that she has a "spicy side," but still she feels that Pepa will help make the party hip. Pepper is, after all, spicier than salt. If only Adrianne Curry would give her input, then it'd be the spiciest party of all. Pep's really into the party idea.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_3.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_3.jpg" /></p>
<p>Will it be a big party, she wonders. No. Will there be a theme? No. Is there a budget? No. The back-and-forth is a recipe for disagreement. At least we know that this will be a well-seasoned dish.</p>
<p>At home, Salt lets Corin in on the party idea.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_4.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_4.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_4.jpg" /></p>
<p>She's all, "Whatever, Mom," until Salt reveals that Pep will help in the planning, then it's:</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_5.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_5.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_5.jpg" /></p>
<p>There's nothing like a dash of Pepa to brighten a teen's day!</p>
<p>Perhaps insulted by her daughter's enthusiasm that she wouldn't be planning this by herself, Salt adds that she has plenty of the ideas for the party: gestures, word games and gift bags, among them. Corin turns her nose up at this, even though it's more or less a summary of the New York high society. Seriously: what else is there besides gestures, word games and gift bags? One day you'll learn, Corin.</p>
<p>The planning begins.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_6.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_6.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_6.jpg" /></p>
<p>Pep wants an "Arabian night" theme. She proposes getting 20 hot guys and lining them up so that Corin can have her choice. Uh, is this a teenager's party or a harem? Perhaps they can jump out of a cake, she suggests, and that's where Salt puts her foot down, deeming that idea "too strippery." Not coincidentally, it would also be too slippery. Cake is slick! Corin wonders what the dress code should be, and Pep's answer is immediate: "Stilettos." FOR. ALL.</p>
<p>Speaking of dress codes, Salt and Pep take Corin shopping for her party outfit.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_7.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_7.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_7.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_8.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_8.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_8.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_9.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_9.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_9.jpg" /></p>
<p>All of these ideas are rejected by Salt for being too mature. Unsurprisingly, that's the very reason Pep endorses them. Ah, odd couples. Gotta love 'em. Shoe shopping is similarly fruitless, although it does give all three of the girls a chance to walk like they're on a runway.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_10.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_10.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_10.jpg" /></p>
<p>If you can't dress older than your 16 years, at least you can be fierce. Moral of the story!</p>
<p>Later, Pep reveals that despite the frolicking, she is pained.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_11.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_11.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_11.jpg" /></p>
<p>She feels that Salt is getting in the way of her party planning. Pep's niece suggests that she squirrel Corin away from Salt without her permission: that's the only way anything's going to get accomplished. And by anything, I mean this:</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_13.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_13.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_13.jpg" /></p>
<p>That's right, Pepa has changed the party into a circus theme and thus got Corin's face painted to prepare. Kidding! That's supposed to be mature makeup, but, wow is it inappropriate. Pepa and Corin both think it's great. And see, here's where Salt's stick-in-the-mud status proves to be nothing more than an exercise of good taste.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_14.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_14.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_14.jpg" /></p>
<p>When Pepa and Corin get home, Salt and Gavin are not amused. They're angry that Pepa took Corin out without permission. "Your face looks really, really silly," adds Salt. Ha! She's right. It's not really a matter of being age-appropriate. It's more a matter of looking like she's in a revival of <em>Cats</em>, you know?</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_15.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_15.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_15.jpg" /></p>
<p>Pepa gets salty outside.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_16.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_16.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_16.jpg" /></p>
<p>Salt lays into her for taking Corin away to get her face painted, saying that Corin looks like she's dressed for Halloween. Ha! Then, Salt calls the party off and leaves Pep alone on the doorstep, ranting like a homeless woman...alone on a doorstep.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_17.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_17.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_17.jpg" /></p>
<p>During a meeting at a chocolate specialty cafe, Salt recants what she said about the party: she feels that it's unfair to take anger directed at Pep out on Corin. The party's on! The decorations are set:</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_19.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_19.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_19.jpg" /></p>
<p>And Corin looks a lot more...reasonable.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_20.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_20.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_20.jpg" /></p>
<p>As Gavin gets his dad on, interrogating guys who show up for the party and patting them down...</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_21.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_21.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_21.jpg" /></p>
<p>...the kids file in.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_22.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_22.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_22.jpg" /></p>
<p>Corin makes her entrance, looking lovely and not at all like someone at the MAC counter got their aggression out on her:</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_24.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_24.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_24.jpg" /></p>
<p>The party happens. It seems fun and old-school, kinda like a G-rated <em>House Party</em>. All it's missing is Full Force.</p>
<p>But at least there's Pep!</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_25.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_25.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_25.jpg" /></p>
<p>She dances with the kids until Salt drags her away.</p>
<p><img alt="snp_8_26.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_26.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/snp_8_26.jpg" /></p>

<p>Age-appropriateness wins again!</p>

But now, <em>Flavor of Love 3</em> comes along and the answer is clear:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_6.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_6.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_6.jpg" /></p>
<p>Flav in '08! Seriously! If he can run <em>this </em>house, the country will be no sweat.</p>
<p>Do you know what time it is? It's time to watch a bunch of girls stand patiently outside a mansion because another season of <em>Flavor of Love</em> is upon us.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_1.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_1.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Flav finally pulls up and there is rejoicing and flag waving.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_3.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_3.jpg" /></p>
<p>We see a brief rundown of Flav's life: Public Enemy, multiple arrests, <em>The Surreal Life</em>, <em>Strange Love</em>, <em>Flavor of Love</em>, <em>Flavor of Love 2</em>.
God, I've followed all of these things so closely, it feels like a
rundown of my life. His story is my story. Flav is the consummate
everyman.</p>
<p>We hear from an as-yet-un-nicknamed girl, who thinks she's a shoe-in for winning Flav's affection:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_5.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_5.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_5.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="Flav is perfect for me because he has a goal of 10 kids. And he has seven, I have three. Seven plus three, ten. Flav and I could have the urban Brady bunch." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_1_sevenplusthree.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_1_sevenplusthree.mp3">Flav
is perfect for me because he has a goal of 10 kids. And he has seven, I
have three. Seven plus three, ten. Flav and I could have the urban
Brady Bunch.</a>" Tack on two more and they could have <em>two </em>urban Brady Bunches. On the bright side, she's not afraid to flaunt her mathematic skills.</p>
<p>Flav reports that he wants a different bunch of girls this time,
"classier than Season 1 and 2." He says this just in case you forgot
that this show is farcical. I'm not even projecting or being flip here,
because we immediately cut to...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_7.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_7.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_7.jpg" /></p>
<p>...a stampede as the girls scramble to claim their beds. Nothing says class like being trampled on faux-leopard print, right?<br />
And speaking of stampede, one of them rides a pretend elephant that's decorating the house:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_8.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_8.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_8.jpg" /></p>
<p>Before we can see just how fast this fake elephant can go, the girls are corralled for the naming ceremony.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_9.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_9.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_9.jpg" /></p>
<p>But this ceremony has a twist! Flav explains: "<a title="Now, this season, I wanna empower the girls. So, I want them to tell me their nicknames." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_4_empower.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_4_empower.mp3">Now, this season, I wanna empower the girls. So, I want them to tell me their nicknames.</a>"
The farce just keeps getting more farcical! Again, I'm not projecting.
It goes well at first, with a young woman who wants to be called
"Sincere." She gets her wish, Flav-style (which is to say: the spelling
is in jumblzzze!):</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_11.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_11.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_11.jpg" /></p>
<p>This one wants to be called "Buns":</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_12.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_12.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_12.jpg" /></p>
<p>And so it happens. Because, really, how do you improve upon perfection?</p>
<p>But then Flav's opinion and tendency to have fun with letterz begins
trumping all the empowerment. Take, for example, the young woman who
wants to be known as "Vanilla":</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_13.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_13.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_13.jpg" /></p>
<p>She gets "Ice" instead. It's as though Flav was playing a game of
free-association on this one. If only she'd said, "Chocolate and...",
she would have gotten her wish. Straightforward requests don't always
work with Flav; his mind is too complex.</p>
<p>This one wants "Bad Girl," which isn't terribly empowering and is
kind of lame, anyway. Flav's replacement, hailing her roots and the
birthplace of hip-hop, is much better:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_14.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_14.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_14.jpg" /></p>
<p>This one wants to be called "Autumn Joy." Did she get that off a bottle of hand cream from Bath & Body Works, or something?</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_15.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_15.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_15.jpg" /></p>
<p>She wants "Loca":</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_16.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_16.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_16.jpg" /></p>
<p>Instead, Flav gives her "El":</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_17.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_17.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_17.jpg" /></p>
<p>For those unfamiliar with Spanish, the translation of that is "The."
Her name is The. Flav's really stepping up to the plate with the naming
here, huh? The season's off to a wild start!</p>
<p>And then, in Flav's most inspired alteration thus far, he changes to
the requested name ("Vixen") of a cute little thing with a golden
weave, high-waisted jeans and a more-than-passing resemblance to Marisa
Tomei to...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_18.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_18.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_18.jpg" /></p>
<p>Prancer! Because Vixen was the name of a reindeer and so was
Prancer! That is so amazing. Prancer! But see it isn't a silly choice
at all. Flav knows something about Prancer that none of us are privy to
yet, but shh! I'm going to let you in on a little secret: she has
hooves.</p>
<p>She wants to be called "Tik Tok":</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_19.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_19.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_19.jpg" /></p>
<p>Eh, partial is better than nothing. As Tik walks away, Flav notes, "<a title="Tik got the buns of a solar eclipse!" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_5_solareclipse.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_5_solareclipse.mp3">Tik got the buns of a solar eclipse!</a>" I don't even know what that means...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_20.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_20.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_20.jpg" /></p>
<p>...except, I <em>totally </em>do.</p>
<p>Then comes along a young girl who's feistier than Bootz in a shoe horn factory. "<a title="I want to be called the ‘Windy City’ because I’m a fresh of breath air." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_6_windycity.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_6_windycity.mp3">I want to be called the ‘Windy City’ because I’m a fresh of breath air,</a>"
she begins. OK, awesome. Too bad none of that breath air is getting to
her brain. The girl who will never be known as "WC," continues:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_21.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_21.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_21.jpg" /></p>
<p>"And I'm here to blow these bitches away. Everywhere I go, the hair
blows. Everywhere, everywhere." Is she trying to tell us that she's
shedding? And also, it's not even really blowing, it's just curly. This
one is already fascinating. Since she's anything but, Flav deems her
"Shy."</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_22.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_22.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_22.jpg" /></p>
<p>And then...twinzzzzzzzzzzzzz! They want to be called "Sugar and
Spice," but, in his most empowering turn yet, Flav decides to name them
"Thing 1 and Thing 2" after his favorite characters in one of his
favorite books, <em>The Cat in the Hat</em>.</p>
<p><img alt="thing1_thing2.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/thing1_thing2.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/thing1_thing2.jpg" /></p>
<p>Absolutely amazing.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_23.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_23.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_23.jpg" /></p>
<p>They like their shared name. Also, they are virtually identical and
seemingly cannot communicate without completing and/or echoing each
other's sentences. Who needs a canyon when you've got a twin?</p>
<p>This one gets her wish (with the bonus of a "Q" and a hyphen!):</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_24.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_24.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_24.jpg" /></p>
<p>The next two also get their chosen names. The empower meter is almost off the scale!</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_25.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_25.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_25.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_26.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_26.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_26.jpg" /></p>
<p>Then, along comes a girl with a rap and a voice that's virtually a baritone to go along with it:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_27.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_27.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_27.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="Yo, my name is Vonne and I’m the best, and I know that you would love these breasts." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_7_grayveerap.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_7_grayveerap.mp3">Yo, my name is Vonne and I’m the best, and I know that you would love these breasts.</a>"
Gorgeous. Vonne adds that her fried chicken is so good, she could put
KFC out of business. That comment should ruffle a few feathers, and not
all of which belong to actual birds. For her culinary potential, she's
given the name of:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_28.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_28.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_28.jpg" /></p>
<p>Then come the Internet girls: the ones who were cast online. First
is this one, who wants to be called "Rain." This gives Flav a flashback
to his first season. Did she even watch it? Why would she want to be
associated with that thunderstorm of emotion? But her name is Earaina!
What to do?</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_29.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_29.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_29.jpg" /></p>
<p>Ah, blessed compromise.</p>
<p>Then, this perfect 10 wants to be called "Dimes."</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_30.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_30.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_30.jpg" /></p>
<p>Wish granted.</p>
<p>Along comes the top Internet vote-getter, who can't think of a name.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_31.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_31.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_31.jpg" /></p>
<p>That's what Flav gives her. He adds, "<a title="Boy, did she have an underbite like a motherf***er, G!" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_8_underbite.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_8_underbite.mp3">Boy, did she have an underbite like a motherf***er, G!</a>" What, was Undie too harsh then?</p>
<p>More Internet girls:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_32.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_32.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_32.jpg" /></p>
<p>It's at this point that Flav starts complaining about this method of
casting. When the next girl walks up and she's only slightly less
sizable than Peechee, Flav queasily asks, "Were you from the Internet,
too?" She was.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_34.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_34.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_34.jpg" /></p>
<p>That's actually her real name. I think Flav was too unsettled to be creative.</p>
<p>And finally, there's this one, who's seriously just absurdly sexy.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_35.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_35.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_35.jpg" /></p>
<p>Ugh. Love her!</p>
<p>The mixing begins. Flav announces that he's going to spend time with
the girls and is immediately pounced on with Shy, who says that if he's
going to start this right, it should start with her.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_36.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_36.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_36.jpg" /></p>
<p>And you know, she really is hard to take your eyes off of, for better or worse.</p>
<p>Then there's Ice, who despite being an on-air personality on Detroit radio, exhibits little-to-no media savvy.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_37.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_37.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_37.jpg" /></p>
<p>Flav asks why she's there and she says, "I don't know." WRONG
ANSWER. Seriously, make something up. Tell him he's sexy, he loves
that. She then bungles further by saying she's here to kick things up a
level. And by "things," she means her career. Then, making matters
worse, she notes that, "There's a lot of females in here that are after
you!" Ugh, and unless you want to be kicked out tonight, you have to
pretend to be one of them! She finally gets the hint and agrees that
he's one of the females that's after Flav. But Flav is onto her, and
it's not because he brought his magnifying glass to the mixer, if you
know what I'm saying.</p>
<p>Then there's Dymz, who admits that she's studying criminal justice.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_38.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_38.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_38.jpg" /></p>
<p>This doesn't sit well with Flav, since he's been arrested.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_39.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_39.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_39.jpg" /></p>
<p>Wait, what? Is he planning on committing more crimes? I mean, other than the ones against humanity.</p>
<p>Then there are the twins.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_40.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_40.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_40.jpg" /></p>
<p>They kiss Flav...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_41.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_41.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_41.jpg" /></p>
<p>...and his reaction can be summed up as wonderment over doublemint.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_42.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_42.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_42.jpg" /></p>
<p>You know, Flav has a knack for acting simultaneously like an infant and like he's 90. Not knocking it: it's a skill.</p>
<p>Then he talks to Hotlanta and El (aka The), who can't stop interrupting.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_43.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_43.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_43.jpg" /></p>
<p>There's a lot of thigh being showed off in this episode. Just saying!</p>
<p>He and Bunz share what I think is an apple.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_44.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_44.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_44.jpg" /></p>
<p>That's...forward. It disturbs Tik, who's a little bit obsessed maybe.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_45.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_45.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_45.jpg" /></p>
<p>Also, she might be a little turned on. I bet at the end of this
episode, someone's going to pull her face off to reveal that she's
actually Bret Michaels.</p>
<p>And then: turmoil.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_46.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_46.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_46.jpg" /></p>
<p>Shy brings up Flav's wish of having 10 kids and asks the rest of the
girls if they're ready. Shy is, to put it mildly, disturbing.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_47.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_47.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_47.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="Young and ready! This womb is ready! Twenty-four, energetic, well-bodied, healthy. I’m ready!" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_10_wombisready.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_10_wombisready.mp3">Young and ready! This womb is ready! Twenty-four, energetic, well-bodied, healthy. I’m ready!</a>"
You know, from the first second I saw her, I was wondering about the
state of her womb, and finally, I've got my answer. Thank you, Shy!</p>
<p>Bee-Ex comes up with a suitably absurd retort to Shy's carrying-on.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1_48.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_48.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_48.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="Your ass might not be able to reproduce and you’re worried…" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_11_reproduce.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1_11_reproduce.mp3">Your ass might not be able to reproduce and you’re worried…</a>" Ah, the hilarity that ovaries spawn. Never-ending, I tell ya.</p>
<p>The next two to spend time with Flav are Rayna and Bee-Ex.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_1.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_1.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Rayna, who looks and acts a lot like Pam Grier (it's a slick kind of
sassy, which is a nice change from the explosive kind of sassy you
normally see on this show), sort of haughtily brags that she knows why
Flav wears his clock. "<a title="The clock was a representation that it was time to take a look at ourselves as black people and show white America what we really were talking about. Why there was so much injustice. Why we had lost two of our greatest figures, Malcolm X and Dr. King, why they were slain…" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_1_clock.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_1_clock.mp3">The
clock was a representation that it was time to take a look at ourselves
as black people and show white America what we really were talking
about. Why there was so much injustice. Why we had lost two of our
greatest figures, Malcolm X and Dr. King, why they were slain…</a>" To
this, Flav says, "I ain't mad at that, but that's not why I wear the
clock." Ha! Rayna isn't a know-it-all, she's a know-it-some. The real
reason, explains Flav, is that time is the most important element in
our life and we can't afford to waste it. Frankly, I like Rayna's
answer better.</p>
<p>Grayvee and Sinceer are next up.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_2.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_2.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_2.jpg" /></p>
<p>"Are you ready to gain weight?" bellows Grayvee who again states
that with her fried chicken, she could put KFC out of business. Not to
be a jerk, but why hasn't she already then? Sinceer, who seems a little
less than, uh, all there, says very calmly, "F*** the chicken." Well,
since you asked nicely...</p>
<p>Along come Peechee and Savanna.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_3.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_3.jpg" /></p>
<p>Flav brilliantly describes sitting between them thusly: "<a title="I felt like a wedgie!" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_2_wedgie.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_2_wedgie.mp3">I felt like a wedgie!</a>" Amazingly precise.</p>
<p>The ever-adorable reindeer-a-like Prancer is next...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_4.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_4.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_4.jpg" /></p>
<p>...but her time is cut short by, "<a title="Seezinz, a girl with a crazy underbite and a sporadic gold tooth." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_3_crazyunderbite.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_3_crazyunderbite.mp3">Seezinz, a girl with a crazy underbite and a sporadic gold tooth.</a>" It must really hurt to be replaced by that kind of stock.</p>
<p>Seezinz intimates to Flav that she's classy and then we see her interviewing...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_5.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_5.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_5.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="I’m a real person and I’m not here just for the glitz and glam." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_4_glitzandglam.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_4_glitzandglam.mp3">I’m a real person and I’m not here just for the glitz and glam.</a>" Good thing. If she were, she'd probably be mighty disappointed when she entered the house and realized that there wasn't any.</p>
<p>Oh, also Seezinz reveals that she's not here to make friends. Just in case you had any doubts.</p>
<p>After Flav complains about his face being touched too many times (or
at all, really), the mixer is over. This gives Shy the chance to meet
with Flav in his room alone, to help fend off Bee-Ex, who's been, "<a title="dippin’ and dappin’ and know what’s happenin’ up in my Kool-Aid, in my Flavors" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_5_dappin.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_5_dappin.mp3">dippin’ and dappin’ and know what’s happenin’ up in my Kool-Aid, in my Flavors</a>." Could someone please explain to me how one daps in Kool-Aid?</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_7.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_7.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_7.jpg" /></p>
<p>She tells Flav that Bee-Ex doesn't want kids and that she isn't there for him. Then, in an interview, she raps: "<a title="You must didn’t know about me, boo. But I’m gonna reintroduce myself. My name is Shy and you can (uh, something) my eye / ‘Cause I’m comin’ after you and it ain’t gon’ be with a pie. I swear I’m not playin’ up in here." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_6_shysrap.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_6_shysrap.mp3">You
must didn’t know about me, boo. But I’m gonna reintroduce myself. My
name is Shy and you can (uh, something) my eye / ‘Cause I’m comin’
after you and it ain’t gon’ be with a pie. I swear I’m not playin’ up
in here.</a>" Awww. I was really hoping that she was coming with a pie. I'm crazy hungry!</p>
<p>Flav then summons Bee-Ex, who's aghast at Shy's claims.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_8.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_8.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_8.jpg" /></p>
<p>She's not not ready for kids! She has kids! Jeez, Shy really did the research on that one.</p>
<p>Elimination looms.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_9.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_9.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_9.jpg" /></p>
<p>Outside, Prancer adjusts her top while giving her prediction for how it will go down:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_10.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_10.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_10.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="I feel like maybe he should get rid of the ugly girls. Nobody likes an ugly girl, so…" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_7_uglygirls.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_7_uglygirls.mp3">I feel like maybe he should get rid of the ugly girls. Nobody likes an ugly girl, so…</a>"
Brilliant. If Flav does run for president, he should totally choose
Prancer as his running mate. I'd love to hear her take on foreign
policy.</p>
<p>Elimination begins. The glasses Flav's wearing are red versions of
white ones he wore in the "911 Is a Joke" video. Factoid alert!</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_11.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_11.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_11.jpg" /></p>
<p>Grayvee is the first to be called.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_12.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_12.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_12.jpg" /></p>
<p>Many other girls are called until there are seven left, including
the twins. He calls up Thing 2 and it seems that she's going to be the
only one staying...</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_13.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_13.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_13.jpg" /></p>
<p>But duh! He's not going to split them up. He's obsessed with the
twins, in fact. As should you be, really. Of course he's not sending
them home, and it's a good thing because they're awesome. They're so
awesome, in fact, that they get to share a clock.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_15.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_15.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_15.jpg" /></p>
<p>At last, VH1 gets one step closer to having a pair of conjoined twins compete for love. <em>Love Connection</em>
would be the perfect name for it, but damn it, it's already taken.
Nonetheless, if we can't have that now, at least we have Thing 1 &
2.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_14.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_14.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_14.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="We have never experienced that much emotion," mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_10_thatmuchemotions.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_b_1_10_thatmuchemotions.mp3">We have never experienced that much emotion,</a>"
they say more or less in synch, regarding the suspense leading up to
their clock reveal. God, up till now, their lives must have been
extremely uneventful.</p>
<p>This means that five girls must go home:</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_17.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_17.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_17.jpg" /></p>
<p>Q-Tee is the only one leaving that wasn't cast via the Internet.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_18.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_18.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_18.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_19.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_19.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_19.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_20.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_20.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_20.jpg" /></p>
<p>Those three go for, uh, obvious (?) reasons. Dymz must leave because
she's studying criminal justice and, apparently, that doesn't fit in
with Flav's lifestyle.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_21.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_21.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_21.jpg" /></p>
<p>Flav gets one last dig at the Internet girls, saying, "Intanet usas...what the hell was y'all thinking!"</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_22.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_22.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_22.jpg" /></p>
<p>Uh, they were probably thinking, "She looks quiet and with a great personality." Go figure.</p>
<p>They toast.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_23.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_23.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_23.jpg" /></p>
<p>All together: Flavor Flaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaav!</p>
<p>Then we see an extended preview for the season. There are extreme
activities. There are arguments. There is a Klingon comparison. There
is a marriage ceremony. There is possible death.</p>
<p><img alt="fol3_1b_24.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_24.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/fol3_1b_24.jpg" /></p>
<p>I wonder how they kept that out of the news for so long?</p>

<p>Excitement lies ahead!</p>
<p>We open immediately after last episode’s elimination. Bret is
feeling lubricated...and he hasn’t even gone to bed yet! We see him
strolling like Shaft with a bunch of girls, saying, "<a title="rol2_4_1_awesome.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_1_awesome.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_1_awesome.mp3">You know I’m awesome! It’s me.</a>”</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_1.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_1.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_1.jpg" /></p>
<p>Indeed.</p>
<p>You know who else is awesome?</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_2.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_2.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_2.jpg" /></p>
<p>Daisy. You know why she’s awesome? That’s the face she makes when
Bret proposes a toast for the “wonderful people” who left tonight,
meaning Roxy and Angelique. I always suspected she was secretly a
Francophobe.</p>
<p>An increasingly inebriated Bret hangs in the kitchen and tells Aubry
that she looks like she either really likes him or wants to kill him.
Why can’t it be both? He announces that it’s time for bed, and kisses
some girls goodnight. Aubry is not one of those girls. He, in fact,
bypasses her completely.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_3.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_3.jpg" /></p>
<p>This point is one that I would have missed entirely if Aubry didn’t
end up talking about it every chance she got, rendering it the
episode’s major plot point. Oh yeah. Get ready for a rousing time.</p>
<p>Something I would not have missed in any circumstance, however, is Catherine’s awesome eveningwear:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_4.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_4.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_4.jpg" /></p>
<p>I’m glad she feels so comfortable on television. It’s not something that you see so often.</p>
<p>Bret takes off for his bedroom and Daisy “walks” him there.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_5.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_5.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_5.jpg" /></p>
<p>The other girls mock this because she’s clearly going to go farther than his bedroom. Farther as in first base:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_61.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_61.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_61.jpg" /></p>
<p>As Bret and Daisy get slobbery in his suite, we cut to Aubry and Kristy Joe complaining. "<a title="rol2_4_3_totallyhavingsex.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_3_totallyhavingsex.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_3_totallyhavingsex.mp3">They’re totally having sex,</a>”
says Aubry. Well, their tongues are, at least. Aubry says that she
doesn’t mind that Bret’s giving the other girls attention; she minds
that he’s not giving <em>her </em>attention. “Neglect” is the word she
uses. She's like a housewife, and we aren't even halfway through the
season. Welcome to your future much? She interviews that she feels bad.
“Like, what’s wrong with me?” she asks. Oh Jesus. If your standing on <em>Rock of Love</em>
is really directly related to your feelings of self-worth, it’s time to
reevaluate. Many would argue that everything is right with you for
failing on this show.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Kristy Joe feels jealous about the sex that Bret and
Daisy are totally having. This is how she knows that her feelings for
Bret are deep. Of course, it couldn’t possibly have anything to do with
her wanting to box the other girls out. The conversation concludes with
Aubry telling Kristy Joe, “I want to fall in love. I’m ready to fall in
love. And I know you are, too.” And then Aubry proposes, Kristy Joe
accepts and they consummate their budding romance right there in the
hot tub. Show's over, they have found their rocks of love.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_7.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_7.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_7.jpg" /></p>
<p>Morning comes and behold:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_8.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_8.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_8.jpg" /></p>
<p>Daisy never made it to bed. Megan, who gets more awesome by the second, sums the situation up poetically: "<a title="rol2_4_4_dirtyassho.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_4_dirtyassho.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_4_dirtyassho.mp3">Dirty-ass hoe.</a>”</p>
<p>Her fellow competitors concur:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_9.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_9.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_9.jpg" /></p>
<p>Aubry explains to Catherine what they think is happening:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_10.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_10.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_10.jpg" /></p>
<p>Catherine’s all, “He put what where? How does that even work?” Oh, Catherine. So young and naive.</p>
<p>The girls grill Daisy about the possible sex. Daisy recaps this gorgeously:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_11.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_11.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_11.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="rol2_4_5_daisymocks.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_5_daisymocks.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_5_daisymocks.mp3">So! Daisy! Did you sleep with Bret?</a>”</p>
<p>Heh. Aubry stays at her and says that Daisy’s defensiveness only
serves to underline her guilt. Daisy says that her defensiveness comes
not from guilt but, "<a title="rol2_4_6_bitchaboutit.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_6_bitchaboutit.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_6_bitchaboutit.mp3">because you’re being a bitch about it, that’s why!</a>” Well, fair enough, really.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_12.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_12.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_12.jpg" /></p>
<p>Still, the question lingers. Daisy explains that she went in Bret’s
room, hung out and they got to know each other better. “So whatever. It
is what it is.” Yeah, yeah. We get that. Except, WHAT IS IT?</p>
<p>Well, I’ll tell you what it isn’t:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_13.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_13.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_13.jpg" /></p>
<p>Bikes. They’re reserved for Peyton’s special place, as when she sees them she starts drooling. <a title="rol2_4_7_drooling.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_7_drooling.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_7_drooling.mp3">Her word!</a></p>
<p>For today’s challenge, the girls will put together a custom bike
using labeled parts and a cheat sheet. All they need is the use of
their motor skills and literacy. This will, undoubtedly, be their
toughest challenge yet.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_14.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_14.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_14.jpg" /></p>
<p>They are broken up into two teams. The Black Team consists of Inna,
Ambre, Aubry, Megan and Daisy. The Pink Team consists of Peyton,
Catherine, Kristy Joe, Jessica and Destiney. Peyton, who’s something of
a gearhead, wants this so bad, she’s willing to drink gasoline. She
doesn’t say that, but you know it’s true. Megan, on the other hand,
knows nothing about automotives, but everything about looking hot.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_15.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_15.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_15.jpg" /></p>
<p>Good for her. Go with what you know. You know?</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Daisy knows nothing beyond, "<a title="rol2_4_8_motorcycleshot.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_8_motorcycleshot.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_8_motorcycleshot.mp3">Guys who ride motorcycles are hot.</a>” I think she’s auditioning to be the voice of the next Talking Malibu Stacey Doll.</p>
<p>The competition begins. There is conferring.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_16.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_16.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_16.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_17.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_17.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_17.jpg" /></p>
<p>There is an out-of-sequence rotor. There is pushing in. There is pushing out. There is trouble with reading.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_18.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_18.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_18.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_19.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_19.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_19.jpg" /></p>
<p>It’s a lot more suspenseful than my recapping has the capacity to
reflect. Peyton wants it so bad! It kind of makes my heart hurt.
Anyway, her team looks like it’s going to win, which is all kinds of
yay. In response to the pink team’s success, Aubry continues the fire
imagery that she started last episode: "<a title="rol2_4_9_fire.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_9_fire.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_9_fire.mp3">When
I found out that the pink team was ahead, even just by a hair, I think
all of us lit a fire under our ass and we were up, like, just hauling
butt.</a>” I think if Aubry’s feeling bad about herself, she should play with some matches. I bet it could only help.</p>
<p>But then, the pink team hits a snag:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_20.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_20.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_20.jpg" /></p>
<p>With this delay, the black team is able to pull ahead:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_21.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_21.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_21.jpg" /></p>
<p>Sadness for Peyton ensues</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_221.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_221.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_221.jpg" /></p>
<p>Now she’s going to drink gasoline for entirely different reasons.</p>
<p>There is sadness for Destiney, too, who gets called out for her
meager contribution to her group. For this reason, she must join Peyton
in cleaning Bret’s bike off with a toothbrush while in a bikini.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_23.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_23.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_23.jpg" /></p>
<p>Destiney feels like she was thrown under the bus. That’s a terrible
place to be if you’re as clueless about automotives as Destiney is.
She’ll never get out from under there!</p>
<p>And you know, normally, she wouldn’t even have to be asked to wear a
bikini and clean anything of Bret’s, including his ass. It’s just that
this is officially deemed punishment that makes her upset. Don’t focus
on the principle, Destiney; focus how fun it is to be scantily clad for
millions of viewers!</p>
<p>Because Inna was the head mechanic of the black team, she gets a solo date with Bret then and there.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_24.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_24.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_24.jpg" /></p>
<p>They literally ride into the sunset.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_25.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_25.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_25.jpg" /></p>
<p>Say what you will about Inna, but her eyebrow looks really sexy there.</p>
<p>Bret and Inna reach the restaurant at which their date will take
place. Bret tells us she’s “hot” on Inna, but his lack of tongue
suggests otherwise.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_26.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_26.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_26.jpg" /></p>
<p>Just saying.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Destiney and Peyton perform their punishment. Bret isn’t
even there to watch them! The bikinis thing was either out of
consideration for their clothes or just humiliation for the sake of
humiliation.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_27.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_27.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_27.jpg" /></p>
<p>At least Peyton was allowed to cover up to suit her comfort.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_28.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_28.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_28.jpg" /></p>
<p>You tell him, tanktop and wrap!</p>
<p>While they’re doing this, guess what Aubry is doing.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_29.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_29.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_29.jpg" /></p>
<p>If you guessed complaining about Bret’s neglect, you’re right!</p>
<p>Bret and Inna kiss again, and this time at least his mouth is open.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_30.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_30.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_30.jpg" /></p>
<p>Perhaps he’s warming up to her.</p>
<p>He arrives home to find Peyton and Destiney on his newly brushed bike.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_311.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_311.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_311.jpg" /></p>
<p>This excites him. "<a title="rol2_4_10_pipes.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_10_pipes.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_10_pipes.mp3">The pipes look well-cleaned, just telling ya!</a>” Now there’s an analogy I didn’t see coming.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_32.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_32.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_32.jpg" /></p>
<p>And it’s nothing but a good time until we see Aubry.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_33.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_33.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_33.jpg" /></p>
<p>She is the human equivalent of a party-foul record scratch. Bret
sees her standing there all disapprovingly and asks her if she wants to
talk. She does. Bret respects her wishes, though he interviews that he
did this reluctantly. "<a title="rol2_4_11_nakednessandmotorcycles.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_11_nakednessandmotorcycles.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_11_nakednessandmotorcycles.mp3">Aubry,
Aubry, Aubry. Do really need to pick this exact moment when there is
nakedness and motorcycles, to take me away? Seriously.</a>”</p>
<p>Seriously.</p>
<p>Aubry confronts Bret about his neglect. He says that her approach
was that of someone he’d been in a “naggingly long” relationship with.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_34.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_34.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_34.jpg" /></p>
<p>At some point, Aubry reveals, "<a title="rol2_4_12_karaokehost1.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_12_karaokehost1.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_12_karaokehost1.mp3">I’m a karaoke host, ok? I know people.</a>”
Oh what on earth could she possibly mean? Is she trying to assert her
status within karaoke’s elite, or is she merely saying that her job
brings her face to face with humanity on a very basic level, since with
karaoke comes drunkenness and vomiting? True story: I once went to a
karaoke place in Little Korea in which our group was told not to poop
in the sink, as one drunken singer had done recently in the
establishment's bathroom. If that isn’t humanity, I don’t know what is.</p>
<p>Anyway, Aubry. She tells Bret, “I am not well,” a few times. Aubry
says the most curious things. She asks him not to keep her around a
second longer than she needs to be if he’s not feeling her. He promises
he won’t. The use of backstage passes as charitable donations stops
here.</p>
<p>Then Aubry tells Kristy Joe about her discussion with Bret.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_35.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_35.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_35.jpg" /></p>
<p>This, in turn, inspires Kristy Joe to call a house meeting. Doesn’t
everyone hate her? Why the hell does she think that they’re going to
want to hear what she has to say about anything?</p>
<p>And sure enough: everyone seems put off by this meeting:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_36.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_36.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_36.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_37.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_37.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_37.jpg" /></p>
<p>There is talking.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_381.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_381.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_381.jpg" /></p>
<p>There are tears.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_391.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_391.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_391.jpg" /></p>
<p>There is genuine disbelief.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_40.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_40.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_40.jpg" /></p>
<p>And you know, you can say a lot about these girls but the V.I.P.s in
particular are extremely wonderful at summarizing in this episode.
Megan gives a very succinct rundown of Kristy Joe’s sob story: "<a title="rol2_4_13_allkindsofhusbands.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_13_allkindsofhusbands.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_13_allkindsofhusbands.mp3">So,
Kristy Joe is basically saying that she’s an emotional mess. Wreck,
baggage, all kinds of husbands, kids and trailers. Whatever.</a>”</p>
<p>Whatever continues. The girls tell Kristy Joe to go talk to Bret if
she’s so upset. So she does. I don’t think she stops crying between the
Wettysburg Address she gave the girls and she one she gives Bret.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_411.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_411.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_411.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_42.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_42.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_42.jpg" /></p>
<p>Keep in mind, as Ambre has pointed out, that Kristy Joe has known
Bret for five days at this point. Should she stay? Should she go? She
has things to do at home. Bret points out that she’ll have to do them
whether she goes back tomorrow or in a few weeks and then he basically
tells her to go to bed. BEST ADVICE EVER.</p>

<p>A new day dawns and it’s time for the rest of the Black Team’s date
with Bret. This date will be a photo shoot that posits the girls as
‘50s-style pinups. There is preparation.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_44.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_44.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_44.jpg" /></p>
<p>There is copious cleavage.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_45.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_45.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_45.jpg" /></p>
<p>Bret reports that, "<a title="rol2_4_14_titstotoes.mp3" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_14_titstotoes.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_14_titstotoes.mp3">Megan is just looking hot, t**s to toes.</a>” I can think of no greater compliment, but that might be because my brain jumped ship two episodes ago.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_46.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_46.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_46.jpg" /></p>

<p>Aubry actually kills it, I think.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_48.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_48.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_48.jpg" /></p>

<p>I mean, she’s smiling with her eyes and everything!</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_50.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_50.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_50.jpg" /></p>

<p>Ambre is similarly adorable:</p>

<p>And then there is Daisy. Let me let you in on a little secret: she really turns Bret on.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_56.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_56.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_56.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_57.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_57.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_57.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_58.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_58.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_58.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_59.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_59.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_59.jpg" /></p>
<p>Of course, the natural question is: who’s this date for, anyway? How
is having to dress up in corsets and inhale square pound upon square
pound of hairspray fun for anyone but the guy who gets to gawk? Who
knows, but it is: at the post-shoot meal, all the girls gush about how
much fun they had. Whether they actually did or have just convinced
themselves of it, there are no bad feelings and that’s what matters.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_60.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_60.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_60.jpg" /></p>
<p>All is jovial until Aubry remembers that her main duty here is to
kill joy and points out that the whole setup of the show necessarily
results in people getting hurt. The girls get hurt, Bret gets hurt.
Bret agrees and disagrees. He's nothing if not a diplomat. He explains
that some girls come for the wrong reasons. Some girls like,
"Whatsherface," who was complaining in his room last night. Aubry dies
a little inside and says, "<a title="‘Whatsherface?’ Are you talking about Kristy Joe?" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_15_whatsherface.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_15_whatsherface.mp3">‘Whatsherface?’ Are you talking about Kristy Joe?</a>" Bret confirms that he is, indeed.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_611.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_611.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_611.jpg" /></p>
<p>Bret then launches into a discussion of karma. Does this mean that
someone's going to go complaining to Kristy Joe in her room soon?</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_631.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_631.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_631.jpg" /></p>
<p>The answer is yes! Bret is wise! Praise him! Aubry tells Kristy Joe
that Bret was talking about her and Kristy Joe freaks out, which: duh. "<a title="He thinks I’m fake? Wait till he f***ing sees what’s really in this house!" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_16_fake.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_16_fake.mp3">He thinks I’m fake? Wait till he f***ing sees what’s really in this house!</a>" Uh, he has, and as a matter of fact, he happens to enjoy silicone and peroxide, thank you very much.</p>
<p>Kristy Joe then confronts Bret.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_64.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_64.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_64.jpg" /></p>
<p>"I'd like to know how you really feel about me," says Kristy Joe.
"As far as what?" says Bret. As far as you can throw her! Just kidding,
that doesn't make sense. But anyway, Bret might as well attack that
very item for all of his vagueness. Regardless, there's no time for
explanation because there's an elimination that has to take place! This
week's special guest will be Hedwig.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_65.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_65.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_65.jpg" /></p>
<p>Just kidding. But that hair is seriously and completely right out of <span style="font-style: italic;">Hedwig and the Angry Inch</span>.</p>
<p>Daisy is the first to be called. I know, I know: you're shocked.
More interesting is throughout elimination, Megan looks like she's
smelling something rotten.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_66.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_66.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_66.jpg" /></p>
<p>Like, increasingly so.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_67.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_67.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_67.jpg" /></p>
<p>Thing is: she probably <em>is </em>smelling something rotten, all things considered.</p>
<p>Megan's finally called second-to-last, because Bret just isn't
feeling a connection. If Bret doesn't want her, I'll take her for her
storytelling ability alone.</p>
<p>Anyway, it comes down to Aubry and Kristy Joe, who's a total wreck because OF COURSE SHE IS.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_681.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_681.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_681.jpg" /></p>
<p>Aubry witnesses the disaster unfurling before her eyes...</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_69.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_69.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_69.jpg" /></p>
<p>Bret starts to announce the girl he's going to keep and he says that
she told him that she wasn't well. But maybe he was talking about the
girl he was going to eliminate or maybe he was referring to something
other than when Aubry told him, "I'm not well." Or something. It's so
hard to tell what anyone's talking about on this show a lot of the time.</p>
<p>Anyway, Aubry senses that she's staying for whatever reason and so
she steps up and sacrifices herself, asking Bret if she forfeits her
place in the competition, if it will keep Kristy Joe around for one
more week.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_70.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_70.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_70.jpg" /></p>
<p>It will. Now it's yet another V.I.P.'s turn to sum up the situation as only members of that group can. Destiney reports, "<a title="Aubry is sacrificing herself for another girl in the house that wanted to leave. None of this makes sense! They should both get the f*** out of here!" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_17_aubryssacrifice.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_17_aubryssacrifice.mp3">Aubry
is sacrificing herself for another girl in the house that wanted to
leave. None of this makes sense! They should both get the f*** out of
here!</a>" Given the situation, it's hard to fault her logic.</p>
<p>Anyway, Aubry leaves and cries and leaves and cries.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_71.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_71.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_71.jpg" /></p>
<p>"<a title="If Bret and I supposed to have a chance together, we will later. We’re in the same city." mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_18_samecity.mp3" href="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_18_samecity.mp3">If Bret and I are supposed to have a chance together, we will later. We’re in the same city.</a>" Again, I don't know what that means exactly, but I guess if Bret ever needs to sing karaoke, he knows where to go.</p>
<p>We see more of Aubry's huge display as she's leaving.</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_73.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_73.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_73.jpg" /></p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_741.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_741.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_741.jpg" /></p>
<p>She reminds Kristy Joe that this is "a gift." Well, where's the receipt then?</p>
<p>What makes this production infinitely more awesome is this:</p>
<p><img alt="rol2_4_75.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_75.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/rol2_4_75.jpg" /></p>
<p>Kristy Joe was going to stay all along! You might now reflect on
Aubry's drama and say, "All that for nothing!" But it wasn't for
nothing. It was for <span style="font-style: italic;">us</span>. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.</p>

<p>Don and Kathy drop some not-so-subtle hits about the joys of
parenting, and invite Chris and Adrianne to join in on all the fun.
Things like:</p>
<p>Feeding!</p>

<p>Weird footsie games!</p>

<p>And...whatever the hell this is.</p>

<p>Just watching Chris pal around with the kids is adorable enough, and
it's clear his clock is ticking away. But how will he take advice on
family-planning when it's coming from the man - the <strong>giant</strong> man - who fathered Adrianne?</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_brow.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_brow.jpg" alt="chris_brow.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>VS. </strong></p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad.jpg" alt="dad.jpg" /></p>
<p>We kinda feel like we know who's gonna win this battle.</p>
<p>Adrianne and her dad Rick, have some mending to do in their
relationship, so the father-daughter duo ditch Chris and head off to do
some healing - with guns of course.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/guns.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/guns.jpg" alt="guns.jpg" /></p>
<p>Adrianne sums it up best, stating she feels like, "Officer Curry with my fat, donut-loving partner by my side!"<br />
<img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adrianne_gun_1st.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adrianne_gun_1st.jpg" alt="adrianne_gun_1st.jpg" /></p>
<p>We buy it!</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/gun_highfive.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/gun_highfive.jpg" alt="gun_highfive.jpg" /></p>
<p>Father-daughter bonding done peacefully, but with violence. We're
not sure we'd be into it, but hey, whatever works. Since Chris is
anti-weapon, he takes Adrianne's step-mom Nicole to a sushi joint,
where he can introduce her to the peaceful practice of chomping of raw
fish.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_momlunch.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_momlunch.jpg" alt="chris_momlunch.jpg" /></p>
<p>We can't help but notice that seeing Chris with someone his own age
makes us feel weird. Something is a little off, right? The convo turns
into another kid-chat, and Nicole determines that Adrianne would be a
great mom and Chris a wonderful stay at home dad. Too bad Chris has
given Adrianne the impression that she's going to be a sucktastic
mother. Oops! Now Chris has so many new issues to squint over. <em>Why did I diss my wife? Am I gonna have kids? Can I snatch that piece of tuna before Nicole gets to it?</em> So many tough questions!!!</p>
<p>Adrianne and her dad, meanwhile, keep it real with some barbecue. A LOT of it.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad_lunch.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad_lunch.jpg" alt="dad_lunch.jpg" /></p>
<p>Over ribs and things, a little conversation ensues between the
father and daughter about Adrianne's desire for a gun in the house,
and...</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad_nokids.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad_nokids.jpg" alt="dad_nokids.jpg" /></p>
<p>Uh oh! Thank goodness Chris and Adrianne figure out fast that the
only way to solve the issue at hand is with some frank conversation -
brought about by gallons and gallons of booze. They arrange for a limo
to do the driving, and the two couples head out for some pool, tequila
shots and awkward conversation. Thankfully Rick rocked a hilarious
t-shirt to break the ice!</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad_big.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/dad_big.jpg" alt="dad_big.jpg" /></p>
<p>Chris and Rick buddy-up to play some pool, and Chris forces some
sensitive conversation on the guy, trying to convince Big Daddy that
there's more to him than just an anger problem.</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_dad2.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_dad2.jpg" alt="chris_dad2.jpg" /></p>
<p>Like the inability to speak under pressure, for example. Help him, gin and tonic!</p>
<p><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_drinks.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chris_drinks.jpg" alt="chris_drinks.jpg" /></p>
<p>Nicole reassures Adrianne that she will be a great mom (we give her
a 10 on the awesome step-mom scale!) and the couple returns home
hammered and unresolved about what to do with Adrianne's womb. Until,
Mrs. Knight initiates a booze-fueled bone session, which Chris
childishly describes as sloppy.<br />

<p>Are these two really ready to make room in their crib <strong><em>for a crib?</em></strong></p>

<p>Dr. Drew's weekly commentary on <em>Celebrity Rehab</em> continues!
After the jump, the hardest-working doctor in showbiz talks Daniel
Baldwin's departure, Mary Carey's porn tendencies, Chyna's denial of
steroid usage and the vodka Jeff Conway's girlfriend Vikki smuggled
into the facility.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-02-07/examining-rehab-with-dr-drew-episode-5/celebrity_rehab_5_1jpg/" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-02-07/examining-rehab-with-dr-drew-episode-5/celebrity_rehab_5_1jpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-18557" title="celebrity_rehab_5_1.jpg"><img hspace="2" align="right" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/celebrity_rehab_5_1.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/celebrity_rehab_5_1.thumbnail.jpg" title="celebrity_rehab_5_1.jpg" alt="celebrity_rehab_5_1.jpg" /></a><strong>At
the beginning of this episode, you note that Daniel's leaving has
created an air of relief. Were you surprised at the group's reaction?</strong></p>
<p>Daniel had a certain amount of negativity that he brought. Don't get
me wrong: my affection for Daniel is genuine and unyielding. Even with
what was happening there, he was struggling with his own issues and he
had the same objectivity as anyone else in treatment. He was actually
helpful to several people. As time has gone on, his contribution has
meant bigger and bigger things, in terms of what he did to help other
patients. There was relief that he left, but there was also a big
reaction when he left because of the circumstances that were brought
out.</p>

<p>Brigitte had the most immediate, biggest reaction. It actually felt
bigger when it really happened than what you see on TV. It really felt
immense, that she was deeply affected by it. I'm not quite clear why. I
never did figure it out. I tried to stay blinded to a lot of the things
that were happening that I didn't witness with my own eyes. I
specifically told the producers that I was going run this like any
other treatment: if I'm there, I'm there and what the staff tells me is
what they tell me. I didn't want them to tell me what they caught on
camera. But the staff did tell me about Brigitte's reaction and from
what I understand, it was quite, quite big.<br />

<p>Yeah. In group, I was defending Daniel, and the group attacked me.
Jeff specifically said that it was like I was defending a child
molester. I said, "Well, you know, if I were treating a child molester,
I would have to see it from their point of view, too." Obviously, this
was not that, but I was shocked at their venom. Ultimately, we were
able to bring it around with them and get them to see that you guys set
this up. You guys painted him as Dad. It's your reaction, not him. You
created it and it's your circumstance that's being played out here. You
have to own all of your feelings about what this is. And in fact, in my
opinion, his leaving was one of the great gifts to the group. It's not
just that his negativity went away, but they learned something about
how they construct their own realities.</p>

Mitchell stops by the center this episode and she's referred to as a
"recovering porn star." I've never heard that term before.</strong></p>
<p>(Laughs) I've never heard that, really, either. I'm not sure even if
that's how she describes herself. She's a former porn star who's now a
therapist, who treats porn stars and helps them get out of the industry.</p>
<p><strong>Were you familiar with her work?</strong></p>
<p>Not really. I'd heard about her. Everyone seems to know her and I've heard about her, loosely.<br />
<strong><br />

<p>I really wanted Mary to hook up with her, and I will know that
Mary's really ready to get well when she forms a relationship with
Sharon that's a real relationship. She, in fact, was very ambivalent
about Sharon, and that was a bad sign.<br />
<strong><br />
It's interesting that she flips back and forth between Mary Ellen and Mary Carey.</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. How she dressed and how she looked and everything.</p>
<p><strong>That's not a multiple-personality disorder manifesting itself, is it?</strong></p>
<p>It's not as profound as an MPD, but it is an identity issue. She's
really having trouble. Her real self is flimsy and empty. We had them
do some art therapy and she drew a box. On the outside, it was pink and
hearts and hard candy and inside she painted it completely black. She
explained, "This is me. This is how I feel about myself." It's like
whoa, Mary. That's pretty heavy -- you feel empty and black on the
inside. And that's a flimsy thing to start with. It's a delicate,
delicate thing and she's got a lot of work to do.</p>
<p><strong>Early on, Mary intimated that she had a sexual relationship with Seth before the show aired. Was there a concern about that?</strong></p>
<p>Yes! We warned them sternly that that would not be tolerated. And I
didn't know about that stuff when Mary got there loaded and said, "Hey,
do you want to have sex?" Thank god Seth was so desperate for treatment
that he knew that if he did anything he'd get kicked out.</p>

Was Ricco acting as a middleman detrimental? </strong></p>
<p>It was heavy. It was a powder keg at that point. We had no idea
where it was going to go. And you see Mary reacting to that. She got
pissed!</p>
<p><strong>Rightfully so, right?</strong></p>
<p>That was a tough moment. And it's still playing out. I've asked
Daniel to set the record straight because I'm sure he has his own
version of what went down.</p>
<p><strong>Should Daniel have been calling in the first place, as someone who left the group?</strong></p>
<p>We allow that. I have no right to restrict that contact. If they
want to contact people on the outside, I have to give them the
opportunity to contact whoever, even if it's their dealers and stuff. I
just have to make sure the dealers don't come in.<br />

<p>Yeah. They come to each others' rescue. That's not that unusual.
It's not wanting to see somebody else in pain, so you rush in and
answer for them. I do that a lot, too. Watching myself on camera, I
realized that I do that. I wasn't even aware of it usually. It's hard
not to jump in when someone's experiencing something painful.</p>
<p><strong>There's a discussion between you and Chyna in which she denies
steroid usage. Did you buy that? Do you just have to take someone's
word for it when they deny something like that in treatment?</strong></p>
<p>We have a word in treatment we use all the time: whatever. Addicts
lie off the scale all the time. We just move on. We learn to trust our
own instincts more than what the patient said.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-02-07/examining-rehab-with-dr-drew-episode-5/celebrity_rehab_5_10jpg/" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-02-07/examining-rehab-with-dr-drew-episode-5/celebrity_rehab_5_10jpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-18564" title="celebrity_rehab_5_10.jpg"><img hspace="2" align="left" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/celebrity_rehab_5_10.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/celebrity_rehab_5_10.thumbnail.jpg" title="celebrity_rehab_5_10.jpg" alt="celebrity_rehab_5_10.jpg" /></a><strong>At this point, it seems like Chyna still doesn't know why she's there.</strong></p>
<p>Well, she starts to come around. You'll see that this is the beginning of Chyna's involvement in treatment. The ice is thawing.</p>
<p><strong>The other major event of the episode is that Vikki brings in vodka. That's awful.</strong></p>
<p>You'd be amazed. The very people that bring family members in for
treatment often bring them drugs. And it's that same impulse that I was
talking about that you see in group: they can't stand to see their
loved ones uncomfortable. The patients have them so indoctrinated,
almost hypnotized that they're able to manipulate them in ways to get
them to do what they want. And to be really clear: I don't see that as
a good person and a bad person. I see that as two people struggling
with a bad disease.</p>

<p>Uh, I think she needs treatment, too.</p>
<p><strong>Isn't the fact that she brought alcohol on the premises enough to have her banned entirely?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, I could have done that. But as a viewer, you know exactly what
went down. I didn't. Again, the producers were given instructions not
to fill me in. Based on what the staff said, I had to make my decisions
and I decided to let it ride. She needed a lot of work. If she'd only
been a problem and was not interested in working with me, she would
have been out. <a href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-02-07/examining-rehab-with-dr-drew-episode-5/celebrity_rehab_5_12jpg/" mce_href="http://blog.vh1.com/2008-02-07/examining-rehab-with-dr-drew-episode-5/celebrity_rehab_5_12jpg/" rel="attachment wp-att-18566" title="celebrity_rehab_5_12.jpg"><img hspace="2" align="left" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/celebrity_rehab_5_12.thumbnail.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/celebrity_rehab_5_12.thumbnail.jpg" title="celebrity_rehab_5_12.jpg" alt="celebrity_rehab_5_12.jpg" /></a>But
if I kicked her out and then knowingly sent Jeff back to that
environment and was doing nothing with her, it would have been
irresponsible. I had to do what I could to engage her in the process.<br />
<strong><br />
Just to be totally clear, you asked producers not to fill you in on
what happened on camera that you missed in order to keep it real, right?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. The cameras were affecting everything, and I just wanted to do treatment the best I could.</p>

<p align="left"><img alt="adriannefight2_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefight2_ep3.jpg" src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefight2_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">What's that in the picture, you ask? Marital bliss, dear readers. But after all the naked girl photo-shoot drama, <strong><em>will it last?</em></strong></p>
<p>
At the end of the last <em>My Fair Brady</em>
episode, distraught husband Chris bolted on his birthday after wifey
gave him a book of sexy pics of her posing with a chick. A man's
greatest fantasy or fear? We can't quit decide, but Chrs sure has made
up his mind.
</p>
<p align="left">Adrianne hops on the phone and leaves Chris the weepiest message ever before hopping on the phone with, who else, <em>a girl friend</em>...</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannephone_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannephone_ep3.jpg" alt="adriannephone_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Who gives her the usual girlie advice:</p>
<p align="left"> <img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefriendadvice_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefriendadvice_ep3.jpg" alt="adriannefriendadvice_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left"><em>Anddddd</em> - some girl love. Surely it's innocent! Right?</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannephotofriend_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannephotofriend_ep3.jpg" alt="adriannephotofriend_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Chris, meanwhile, does the sensible, 49-year old thing
and rings up their marriage counselor Dr. Pine, who points out that
Adrianne's lust for women might<em><strong> really </strong></em>be a lust for safety.</p>
<p align="left"> <img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chriscounselor_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chriscounselor_ep3.jpg" alt="chriscounselor_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">She also flat-out tells Chris, "you both have problems." <em>Really?</em> We know what's up with Adrianne, but what are Chris's issues (besides that unfortunate "porkchops and applesauce" <em>Brady Bunch</em> episode)? Perhaps his third wife can tell us after he returns to the condo and apologizes.</p>
<p align="left"> <img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chrisapologizes_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chrisapologizes_ep3.jpg" alt="chrisapologizes_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left"> Again, Adrianne reminds Chris - adorably - that she
was just trying to be the most awesome-est wife ever, but he keeps
insisting that she's not getting his point of view about the sitch. And
so, she blows up with this informative verbal lashing: "You are
insecure because your two ex-wives were sluts and cheated on you."</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefight_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefight_ep3.jpg" alt="adriannefight_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">OMG!!! Slam! And also - Wow?! <strong><em>Two</em></strong> ex-wives? Cheating? We love it (er, sorry Chris)!</p>
<p align="left">The next day the happy couple heads back to their condo
by the sea to continue the battle. Yet a day's worth of rest has done
nothing to calm the storm that's been brewing between them. Adrianne is
pissed, and she's yelling.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannahowls_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannahowls_ep3.jpg" alt="adriannahowls_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">A lot. Miscommunication sure is ugly.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefight1_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannefight1_ep3.jpg" alt="adriannefight1_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left"> And then suddenly - a breakthrough amidst the tears.
The couple realizes, sniff, that they both have baggage, sniff, that
they need to work on in counseling - together.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannacriestissues.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/adriannacriestissues.jpg" alt="adriannacriestissues.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Chris even manages a tear-ish sort of thing underneath his hat.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chriscries_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/chriscries_ep3.jpg" alt="chriscries_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Awwww. They've got the love! They just need a a crap-load of therapy - and a bigger house - to see them through.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/weneedeachother_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/weneedeachother_ep3.jpg" alt="weneedeachother_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Hurray! It's true! These two wacky reality stars DO need each other.</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/scars_ep3.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/scars_ep3.jpg" alt="scars_ep3.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left"> Wow! This sh*t is getting heavy. That's so deep and so sweet. It feels wrong!</p>
<p align="left"><img src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/i-love-you.jpg" mce_src="http://blog.vh1.com/files/2008/02/i-love-you.jpg" alt="i-love-you.jpg" /></p>
<p align="left">Wait! I love you guys too! Hello? I'm not afraid to
admit that I totally cried along with these two. Maybe they'll let us
all tag along to counseling?</p>
<p align="left">And then suddenly, all is solved with a little sex.
Everything is back to normal! Now they can finally move on and fight
about...</p>

<p>Roxy's elimination from the latest episode of <em>Rock and Love 2</em>
set off a debate on this blog and elsewhere regarding race in relation
to her standing in the competition and the series in general. Below,
Roxy addresses that issue as well as her non-use of the V.I.P. pass and
why she doesn't care if she goes unremembered.</p>
<p><strong>Did you enjoy your time on the show?</strong></p>
<p>There were a lot of ups and downs. It's kind of a stressful
situation, being in the house 24/7. You're away from everything that
you're used to. I must admit, though, I think I laughed harder in that
house than I ever have in my life. I made some really good friends, too.</p>
<p><strong>With which of the girls?</strong></p>
<p>Courtney's my girl. Aubry, Korie and Catherine and Niki.</p>
<p><strong>And what was so funny?</strong></p>
<p>Oh, it was always production stuff. I bashed my head against a boom
stick. I laid down on my bed and banged my head against the iron
headboard. A microphone stuck up someone's butt. I don't know, I guess
you get a little delirious after a while.</p>
<p><strong>Did you watch the first season?</strong></p>
<p>I sure did.</p>
<p><strong>It seemed to me that your reserved personality wasn't as wild as
maybe people expected from the show. Were you ever concerned that you
were too subdued to make an impact?</strong></p>
<p>There's a lot that goes behind that. When I'm at home, at a bar,
it's totally different. [While on the show] ithe back of my head, I'm
thinking: I'm on national TV. My little sister's 8, and she'd be
watching it. I just didn't want to embarrass my family, more than
anything else. The first night got a little crazy, but after that, I
just had fun. It's the type of thing where you're looked at as "that
girl" for a long time, and I didn't want to be looked at as the slut,
or the mean one or the bitch. I don't want to be stuck with a label.</p>
<p><strong>Were you into Bret growing up?</strong></p>
<p>To be honest, I only got into rock and roll six or seven years ago.
It was kind of gradual, but once it hit, it hit really hard. I had
heard of Poison, but I didn't know anything about them as a kid.</p>
<p><strong>Were you attracted to him?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. I would have never thought I had a chance to pursue Bret Michaels, but he's definitely an attractive guy.</p>
<p><strong>A lot of people in the comments on the blog and elsewhere brought
up the topic of race in relation to your elimination. Did you think
much about being black in an overwhelmingly white house?</strong></p>
<p>Well, I mean, I'm into the rock and roll scene, anyway, and that's
kind of the case. Also, that's how it is go-go dancing. I'm used to it.
No, I didn't feel any racism in the house. I don't really read the
blogs because I'm afraid of mean stuff. I'm too sensitive. I do read <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mya702" mce_href="http://www.myspace.com/mya702" target="_blank">my MySpace comments</a>,
and that's about all that I read. Most of them are pretty nice, so I
can stand it. But there, I got a couple of racist things directed at
me. I don't really have a problem with it. I feel like everyone's gonna
feel how they're gonna feel and me lashing out on MySpace probably
isn't gonna change their opinion. It'll probably just solidify it. If
you're gonna be ignorant, you're gonna be ignorant, as far as the fans
viewing me on the show go. The only thing I don't like to hear is that
black people don't have a place in rock and roll. I did have to go off
on people about that because it's just not true. As far as me being
kicked off the show...I don't know. I didn't get any time to talk to
Bret. So there was a valid reason. There are probably other girls that
didn't get a chance to talk to him, so...I don't know. I don't always
want to jump to that conclusion [about race playing a factor], but I
guess it's possible. Anything's possible.<br />
<strong><br />
I think maybe some of the outrage came from the fact that, even
objectively speaking, you were one of the best-looking girls on the
show.</strong></p>
<p>Thanks! But it's more than that. You have girls that will make it
far that aren't attractive at all, or girls who are really pretty with
no brains who go home really quickly. So it's more than that. We didn't
have a chance to talk. We didn't have a connection. It really boils
down to the people who are more aggressive. If I used my V.I.P. pass, I
probably would have lasted a little longer, but I didn't take that
initiative. And then there probably is a little bit of what he's more
attracted to. I don't know if it's even really blondes, but whatever.
Everyone has their preferences. I wouldn't say it's necessarily a race
thing, but I wouldn't put that past anybody, either.</p>
<p><strong>Do you regret not using the pass? It seemed like you were penalized for being considerate.</strong></p>
<p>The way it was edited made it look that way, which I guess, was to
my benefit as I came out looking extremely classy. I actually did try
to use it, but I wasn't going to step on anybody's toes. Me and Bret
exchanged a couple of words and I felt like maybe I was safe. But about
halfway through the day, I started freaking out. He was on his date
with Kristy Joe and I wasn't going to interrupt. I was playing pool
inside, waiting for them to come in, but they were still talking and
holding hands. I tried again, that's when he went off with Daisy. I
tried again, and I was told I couldn't. I did try. I did make an
effort, but for whatever reason, it just didn't happen. And then there
was also that fear: what if we have nothing in common? What if we have
nothing to talk about? It was like, I don't want to look like a
douchebag! There was so much running through my head.</p>
<p><strong>In the <a href="http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1580336&vid=205662" mce_href="http://www.vh1.com/video/play.jhtml?id=1580336&vid=205662" target="_blank">After-Show</a>, Brandi C. says that you could have stayed on the show "with a little confidence."</strong></p>
<p>Confidence has nothing to do with it. Nothing whatsoever. The second
and third girls that left had confidence out their ass. Ultimately,
what I think it boils down to is how much TV time you want. I have no
problem around rock stars, around men, around other girls. I don't
care. I've lived on my own, I've traveled, I've done a lot of things
and this is just another experience for me. If I wanted the TV time bad
enough, I would pick fights and throw my tongue down his throat. But
that's not me. I don't need to do that to get attention. If anything, I
think that the girls who are left on probably lack in confidence and
have to do special things to get attention.</p>
<p><strong>Are you interested in pursuing more work in the entertainment industry?</strong></p>
<p>I don't know. The show kind of happened spur of the moment. There
was a time I wanted to act, but I kinda don't want to do that anymore.
I'm kinda thinking about getting into retail and starting some kind of
rock and roll online store. I thought about being a hair stylist
recently, a DJ. I don't know what I'm going to do! But I am really
interested in becoming an alternative model. I'm gonna get all tatted
up.</p>
<p><strong>So was this a good experience for you?</strong></p>
<p>It was. I didn't do anything that I regret and I think that's why
it's a good experience for me. I'm not embarrassed to go back and watch
it. I'm not embarrassed for my friends to see it. I'm known for the
Funky Chicken now, but if that's the worst of it, then I'm fine with
that. I'm a party girl. I wanted that to come across, that I like to
have a good time, but on the same note, drinking excessively on
television with a bunch of girls who are ready to jump down your throat
wouldn't have been a smart thing to do. Maybe I won't be remembered,
but I don't care.</p>

<p>"I'm very open so you can ask me anything!" Angelique told us prior to interviewing her. Duh! After the jump, <em>Rock of Love 2</em>'s stripper with a heart of...something gives us a glimpse into her life as a dancer in Vegas, tells us what she really thinks of Bret, dishes about plastic surgery and sends a message to the haters: "If you don't like me, don't look at me." That is, of course, assuming you're able to tear your eyes away from her.</p>
<p><em>(Note: The interview below is only lightly edited for clarification: Angelique's French approach to English is alive and well and most grammatical mistakes are a reflection on her singular style of speaking.)</em> </p><p><strong>Before we talk about the show, I'm dying to know about your life. When did you come to America and why?</strong></p>
<p>I came to U.S. in 2002. I came straight from London. Before I was a stripper, I was a receptionist, so I did a little bit of everything. I went to London because it was my dream to come to America, but I wasn't speaking even a word of English, so I figured it was better that I go to London first. It's easier when you're from Paris, plus you get lots of job. The French get along really well with the English and everything. And then basically I start dancing three months before I move to America in London.</p>
<p><strong>Is your love of stripping what prompted you to move to Vegas?</strong></p>
<p>I've lived in Vegas for about two years now, but I'm actually a permanent resident of U.S., so I can go everywhere! I was working for a lawyer as a secretary, like, twice a week, so he sponsorized me and I got my paper or whatever.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a particular club you strip in now?</strong></p>
<p>I haven't been back to work in about a month because I've been sick and busy traveling, but yeah, I work in the Spearmint Rhino in Las Vegas.</p>
<p><strong>And that's just one thing you do. You have your finger in every pot, as it were.</strong></p>
<p>I'm pretty much a stripper for five years, full-ime. I also did a little bit of porn movies on the side. I did about six DVDs. But that was just for fun. I'm an exhibitionist and I wanted to have sex on camera. Everybody was so cool with me in the porn industry. I really had a good time, it was a good experience. I went on Howard Stern twice. He's been really nice to me. Sometimes, when you go on his show, they put you down so much that you cry when you leave. But I had a lot of fun and they were cool to me.<br /><strong><br />You seem to have a lot of confidence, though. I can't imagine anyone actually being able to make you cry. Do the haters get you down?</strong></p>
<p>Oh no. Not at all. I know who I am and I'm very confident myself. It doesn't really affect me what people say or think because I'm not going to change anytime soon for anybody.</p>
<p><strong>Because you've been stripping for five years, is it safe to assume that you enjoy your line of work?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, I do because I'm an exhibitionist. It's very hard work. You have to be on the floor and walk in a room full of guys. There are really bad guys and really good guys, so you have to deal with any kind of people. But it's easy on the part where I have to get topless. It turn me on to get topless with everybody looking at me. When I go on the stage, I'm very teasing everybody and I actually like that. Even before to strip, if I was going anywhere out, I would always be half naked. I always show what I have, you know what I'm saying? You see me always topless on the show because of that, but what Bret said, I always took as a provocation. He would say, "OK, I want to take picture of you, show me what you got." All right, then, I show you what I got! I want to show my t**s and my ass, because I really think, No. 1, I look better naked. Then, he do a peep-show booth. I'm a stripper, what are you expecting? You put me in a peep-show booth, of course I'm going to have to get naked! And the fact that I did chocolate mousse, it was a perfect match. And then, he take me to a place where you have dancers who are only half-naked on the stage. Of course I'm gonna get naked. You put me on tage and I'm a stripper. It's a natural reaction. You know when we did the roller-derby challenge? They told me, "Try to be sexy," and I was like, "Can I be topless?" and they didn't let me (cackles). I think that would have been hotter!</p>
<p><strong>If anybody on earth was born to be on <em>Rock of Love</em>, it's you. Had you seen the show?</strong></p>
<p>I didn't see all of Season 1, just the last shows. But I don't know, because I was just being myself on the show. I didn't care if there was a camera around. I know that everybody thinks that reality shows are not reality, but we didn't have no script and that's how I act all the time. I really want to make that clear. None of my nakedness was planned in advance.</p>
<p><strong>It was surprising that you left so early – you dominated the first three episodes.</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, maybe that's why he kicked me out, because I dominated too much. I'm very dominant woman. You should see how I speak to my customers. You would be in shock.</p>
<p><strong>Were you surprised to be eliminated?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. You don't see everything. They didn't show on TV all the good things Bret said about me. And at the Forty Deuce, Bret asked me to get completely naked. If he didn't, you can be sure that the minimum I would have done was get topless, anyway. When I go onstage, I have to be topless. But then Bret used me getting completely naked against me. That pissed me off. If you want to eliminate me because we have nothing in common or that you don't like it that I just want to f*** you and I'm not looking for love or whatever, that's OK. I respect that, but don't ask me to do something and then use it against me. I would have gone topless, and you could have used that against me, anyway.</p>
<p><strong>Did you listen to Bret growing up in France?</strong></p>
<p>No.<br /><strong><br />When were you first made aware of him?</strong></p>
<p>Watching the first season of <em>Rock of Love</em>. But to be honest, it could have been any rock star. I would have been on the show because for me it was fun and as a stripper-slash-porn star, it was an awesome opportunity for me to be on any show for VH1. However, if they asked me to go on Flavor of Love, I probably wouldn't have because it is like too crazy for my style and I'm not really attracted to that guy. But maybe if it was a hot black guy, I would have been. A lot of the rock stars are hot, so if you ever ask me to go on a dating show with a hot guy, I will do it and try to have fun with him and f*** him and stuff.<br /><strong><br />Rock stars are your type?</strong></p>
<p>I like hot guys in general who are confident, who have personality and who aren't intimidated by me. There are a lot of guys who cannot handle me and that really pisses me off. They are scared or intimidated and it's annoying.</p>
<p><strong>So it's hard to find a guy that can keep up with you?</strong></p>
<p>I'm single for seven years.<br /><strong><br />Which of the girls in the house did you bond with, if any?</strong></p>
<p>I talk to Catherine a lot. We went out to party and stuff. I talk to Daisy, Inna. I talk a lot with Peyton. I have at least five to six really good friends from the show.</p>
<p><strong>Was there anyone you didn't get along with?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah. Aubry. I think she is not confident because from day one I go to the house, she look at me like she was in a panic. But I understand because she is like 80 lbs., and you see me with my boobs and my ass and how loud I am. She want to die or something. We had an argument that they didn't air, and I'm so pissed off because I shut her down. She f***ing shut up. I'm like, "I feel sorry for you that you need to put people down behind their back." Not just me but everybody else. I'm like, "You need to get a f***ing personality." She also said a lot of stuff about plastic surgery on the first day, "I'm like, you really need to call 911 plastic surgery emergency line and get your teeth fixed, get some boobs and get some ass, because you look like a f***ing boy." I'm really upset they didn't air that. It's not fair!</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of plastic surgery, you're very open about yours.</strong></p>
<p>Why wouldn't I be? I always say I'm like a Barbie doll. I'm in plastic, I love it, why not? The only part that I have real is my ass! I'm very happy I had my breasts done. My breasts were beautiful but they were too small for my taste. I do it for myself. If you don't like me, don't look at me. </p>
<p><strong>And as for the stuff on your face...</strong></p>
<p>I did my nose a long time ago. I was 18-year-old. I did my lips three years ago, because what I have in my lips is stay. It's not leaving anytime soon.</p>
<p><strong>What did you look like before?</strong></p>
<p>I do think I look better now. My mom says I shouldn't have touched my lips, is too big.</p>
<p><strong>Do you see yourself getting more? Is plastic surgery addictive?</strong></p>
<p>It's addictive, but I didn't do that much. I did four. I will probably get more later, probably lifting when I'm 40. But it's not like I go every month. The lips is not even going to surgeon because it's injection. The teeth is more like a dentist. I have really bad teeth genetically. And then my boobs, it was my dream since I was 14 to have big boobs because I really didn't like myself with small boobs. I don't think it's a big deal to do plastic surgery if you do better. A lot of people when I came to U.S. said, "Don't do it! You look perfect!" And I said, "I'm going to f***ing do it!" I do it for me.</p>
<p><strong>But it can only help with your line of work.</strong></p>
<p>To be honest, I used to make $1,000 a day even when I had small boobs, because I'm so aggressive with my personality. I don't make more money because I have big boobs. The reason I make money is because of my personality more than the way I look. In strip clubs, we have super-hot girls and sometimes the girl who doesn't look the best makes more money because her personality. That's very important. </p>
<p><strong>What are your goals? Are you going to strip forever?</strong></p>
<p>No, not forever. The thing with stripping is you make so much money and you have so much freedom that is very difficult to stop. You can make $500 to $2,000 a day. You choose when to work. If I want to take off, I do. Nobody cares. I'm an independent contractor. When I started dancing, it really pushed my level of life up. I live really well. I went to school twice, including real estate school. When I saw how much you make in real estate, I thought, "F*** that s***. I might as well dance." At least for now. But I have a lot of stuff coming up. I've been working on a movie that's coming out this year called <em>Stripper</em>, of course. I have a little role as a stripper-porn star in it, so it match with me perfectly. The funny part is that they wanted me to train the actress, like how to give a lap dance, how to be sexy, how to be comfortable when naked. Stuff like that. But then they end up offer me small role. So that's really awesome. I also have my own radio show coming up called Ask Angelique. I will give relationship and sex advice to anybody who want to. But if I get the opportunity to stop stripping, I will. I may become a featured dancer very soon, which is better. You don't have to walk on the floor. You just go on the stage and then you take picture and sign autograph, and you get paid crazy money, like $1,500 to $2,000 a day for a couple of hour.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have an interest in acting?</strong></p>
<p>I don't have any background, really. My role in that movie is just a couple lines. I've never been in a big movie, but if I really practiced, I could act. I'm very expressive, you know? But I think reality TV is the best thing for me. I'm just being myself, which is better for me. I'm addicted to reality TV now that I try it, and I definitely want to do more. However, I want to do quality, not quantity. </p>
<p><strong>Do you have anything to add that we didn't go over?</strong></p>
<p>I'm very sexual and I always f*** on the first date.</p>
