every blog has its thorn......


ok, so i am really late to the game this time. "rock of love" debuted in july 2007, and i caught the first episode and loved it. bret michaels looks heavily botoxed and is clearly going bald under the bandannas and cowboy hats. the show featured 20 women (mainly strippers and....psycho girls who drink and dance naked like strippers) living in a house and competing to "rock his world and his heart."

it was another train wreck type tv show that i love to hate. i would have kept watching, but by episode 2, more than a few of the girls had gotten sloppy drunk and vomited, on camera. i can watch anything except puking. i'm a sympathy puker. so i gave it up and kept my lunch down.

last night groundcat & i were both exhausted, so after work we plopped down on the couch and started flicking through the channels. they were showing a "rock of love" marathon and we got sucked in. we caught it near the end, when it was down to 3 "totally awesome ladies" (as bret would say, over and over...) he took his 3 awesome ladies on some totally awesome dates, where they got to see the really awesome ocean outside the totally awesome yacht window.

here's a quick recap: he's down to 3 strippers, i mean awesome ladies. he evicts the psycho red head that everyone hated and is down to the blonde stripper and the pink haired chick. and here's where the show gets uncomfortable. it was fun watching the 20 girls act crazy, drink and fight and screw and drink and drink. it was fun watching the eviction ceremony at the end of each show. bret would come out with his body guard and give the women backstage passes (passes to his awesome heart!)

when it was down to 2 girls, it wasn't so funny. they both got competitive and weird. he took them on a vacation for 3 to mexico. they pretended to have fun but it was obviously uncomfortable. he took the blonde on a real date (and appeared to have had his way with her) the first night. how do i know they messed around? because the blonde showed up at the hotel the next morning looking like she'd....... had sex with an aging rock star. she wished the pink haired girl luck with her "sloppy seconds" and apologized for her smell. she decided not to shower to "keep the smell of her man" on her. quite possibly one of the grossest moments i've witnessed on a reality tv show.

and now i spend my saturday morning sipping coffee, trolling the internet for horrible photos of these people. i can't find one pic of bret michaels without a stupid hat or scarf on! i'm on the official rock of love website instead of doing the dishes or out fetching starbucks! this is dumb and i need to wrap it up.

as everyone already knows, he picked the pink haired girl and not the yellow haired stripper. the stripper gives him the finger and storms off. the pink haired chick ended up dumping him after the show ended. who cares. i need to jump in the shower and go get a venti quad gingerbread latte, skim and sugar free!

and let's all agree to just say no to season 2 of rock of love, ok?

I watched every episode of Rock of Love, and will enjoy round 2 coming up. You will Never, Never see Brett Michaels without as your mom said, the "sewn in long hair bandana." I think he stuffs his pants too! (yes, Jennifer, I'm still a package checker)

Did any one catch the show called THERES SOMETHING ABOUT MIRIAM? Guess what the premise was?

copaX said...

Oh wow, I just wiki'd the miriam show...that's classic tv right there

rachel said...

I have yet to catch the last episode of it where she reveals her "secret". I wonder what the guys did?

copaX said...

I dunno, but according to the wiki..

"Following the completion of the show, it was scheduled to air in November 2003, but the lawsuit by the contestants delayed the airing.[8][9] They alleged conspiracy to commit sexual assault, defamation, breach of contract and personal injury in the form of psychological and emotional damage.[10]

After the men settled for an undisclosed amount, the show premiered February 22.[11], and the sixth and final episode aired March 24, 2004.[12]

The show was aired in Australia by Network Ten in May 2004 and in Poland by TVN in January 2005. The show was picked up by Fox Reality for airing in the United States in April 2006, and the fall of 2007,[13] and in Argentina on America TV.[14]

That right there is some horrible television. I personally cannot stand reality shows and I think Rock of Love exemplifies why I hate them. I did however get a chance to check out some Celebrity Rehab Sat night because GG bossed everyone into NOT watching it :) Talk about a train wreck. God. But, it was awesome to see Jeff Conaway just completely drool and babble his way through the show. Good form!

I then noticed Death Race 2000 was on TCM, so celebrity rehab was promptly changed. Horrible movie, but it was still 100 times better than watching Mary Carey eye up every doorknob in the clinic like it was a piece of meat.
