In this episode, Kristy Joe cries...

...and cries...

...and cries...

...and cries...

Excitement lies ahead!

Roxy's elimination from the latest episode of Rock and Love 2 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.

"I'm very open so you can ask me anything!" Angelique told us prior to interviewing her. Duh! After the jump, Rock of Love 2'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.

(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.)

If you need further proof of the sense of humor Bret Michaels possesses about himself, look no further than the video below. We put Bret's perpetual turned-onedness to the test with a little game we call Animal, Vegetable or It Kinda Turns Me On. The concept is simple: we throw out the name of an object to Bret (New York, pussycats, Busch Gardens, etc.) and he categorizes it for us...with sexy results! Be sure to stick around (or just forward to) the last few seconds, in which Bret reveals just how big of a rise we were able to get out of him. It's not just awesome; it's insanely awesome.

Look who's back!

Admit it: you missed her.

Everything you need to know about this episode (and everything you need to know about everything, for that matter) is here:

Any questions?

Very early in this first episode of Rock of Love 2 with Bret Michaels, Big John lays down the formula for the show. Everything you need for a great season is in the following steps:

1. Bring the noise.

2. Bring the barrel full of Bret's Brew.

(No, really. It's called Bret's Brew.)

3. Bring the mess.

4. Bring the swing.

Lather, rinse, repeat. Hold the lather, actually. Soap has no place in this house.

We just got finished watching the first episode of Rock of Love 2 and it seems like the girls are wild enough to easily fill the shoes of their predecessors. Well, they'll fill the DD bras of their predecessors any rate. We don't want to give too much away before the season premiere (Sunday at 9/8c), but here a few a few tidbits to whet your appetite:

- There's a big surprise right before all the girls enter the house, and an even bigger surprise during the elimination ceremony.

- Something rather...consuming causes one of the girls to miss the elimination ceremony.

- One girl reveals that to her, the letters "VIP" stand for something more...vaginally oriented.

- Remember the divide between the "slutty" girls and the "bitchy" girls that became apparent during the second episode last season? It's there again and it's apparent almost immediately.

- One of the girls is a swinging bisexual who announces, "If I'm not getting it from Bret, then I'm gonna go find some hot girl to make out with."

- One of the girls is French.

- One of the girls is 45!

-  One of the girls is a germaphobe and, as such, could be the most misguided individual to ever enter the ...of Love universe.

- Case and point: Bret makes out at least a dozen times during the course of the one-hour premiere. Here's one girl's imitation:

And all of that is to say that the faces may have changed, but the hassles are just the same.

Are. You. Ready. To. Rock?

Clearly, Bret is.

Roller derby! Paintball! Stripping! Crying! Vomiting! Screaming! Strawberries! Spread eagles! Rodeo's cackle! Lacey's bitchiness! Heather's hair! Lubrication, a greased pig and a big horse. It's all below in the supertrailer for Rock of Love 2 with Bret Michaels. You'll notice that it's just short of seven minutes in heaven, but just as salacious. Rock of Love 2 premieres Sunday, Jan. 13 at 9/8 c. After watching the video, try, just TRY to stand the wait.
