Flavor Flav is a big dummy. (SPOILERS)

[tjdee]

Granted, okay, whatever.

I am irritated, yet not surprised, that Flavor Flav decided to pick the cute young thing who, for some reason, likes his old gnarly behind. Midlife crisis? What?

She should have been thrown off just for talking to Bridgitte as she did.

Poor New York.

[sakabatou]

1. Hold on, which one did he pick

The one who was sweet or the one got spat upon?

[tjdee]

5. "The one who was sweet"

I guess, if you think she's sweet. Like I said, she was the cute young one. So in most circles, especially hetero men, I guess she'd be viewed as "the one who was sweet".

I liked her up until she started shouting and being bitchy toward Brigitte, which was unnecessary, and tonight she was definitely the not sweet one IMO. I don't think she's really into him, but I think Flav just wants a pretty/hot/young girl on his arm who lets him flirt with other women.

15. It'll end before the year is out

:evilgrin:

[linazelle]

16. It's probably ended already. Seriesly!!

:crazy:

[sakabatou]

18. That's HUGH!!111!

[Benfea]

2. You actually watched that? On purpose?

The only reality TV I am willing to watch is "Mythbusters." The rest of it annoys me.

[Montauk6]

3. The only reality TV I'll watch is C-SPAN, thank you very much!

My favorite part is the end of the speech when people are milling out of the banquet room; you REALLY feel like you're there and part of it.

[Benfea]

11. ROFL!

ALthough it certainly is theater at times, I'm not sure it qualifies as "reality TV."

[Montauk6]

20. Well, in the sense, that it's REAL, you're right.

I'll admit being fiercely close-minded about this up front.

I don't nor have I EVER bought the whole concept of "reality TV." To use a pro-wrestling term, I think all of them are a "work." Either the in front of the camera or later in the editing room, it's all fake. Will I/can I be convinced otherwise? NOPE!

Also, the scenarios are far from real; maybe I'm showing my age here but I think, iirc, we used to call 'em "game shows."

The only problem is, who woulda thunk the game shows would take over network TV? Well, it shouldn't surprise me because years ago I had fearful speculation that the informercial would stage the coup.

[Benfea]

21. Your skepticism about "reality" TV is well-placed.

From everything I've heard and from articles I've read, the producers of those shows play all kinds of nasty tricks (e.g. clever editing, or even editing dialog playback) to create the impression of events that never really happened.

At least with "Mythbusters," you know there can't be much of that kind of nonsense going on because the show isn't built around interpersonal conflict, it's built around skepticism and testing theories. That probably explains why I can stand it. ;)

[richmwill]

29. Yep- it's a scripted show

From the IMDB.com page on the show-

Full Cast and Crew for
"Flavor of Love" (2006)

Writing credits (in alphabetical order)
Michelle Brando writer
Matt Odgers writer
Kevin Thomas writer

It's a "work". As I suspect most other "reality" shows are.

[tjdee]

4. I watched the later ones...

and this season I'm all about reality shows. Except the ones that are dumb. :silly:

[Benfea]

12. Your two sentences are conflicting with each other.

:D

[deadparrot]

6. My roommate is obsessed with VH1.

I had to sit through several episodes.

Actually, I sat through about ten minutes, then had to get up and leave. The pure stream of stupidity gave me a headache. :)

[linazelle]

7. Who is Bridgitte? New York?

New York WAS fake. She didn't shed a tear as she left--with all that crying when she thought it would benefit her throughout the show you'd think she'd have been upset. I thought she really loved him too, but the ending showed me that she didn't--she just thought she could MAKE him think she did.

As for the one he picked, I don't think she likes him either. But she held her own, looked better, was not as offensive--and she cracked me up when she asked for a bucket after New York revealed that she had made love to Flav. :rofl:

[tjdee]

10. No no, Brigitte Nielson.

I think poor New York was in shock. Plus, she passed the lie detector test question about whether she really loved him. I don't know whether that's here nor there, but...Hoopz is such an uninspired and completely expected choice.

I was just glad they didn't come to blows before he came down, with New York starting it up like that!

[linazelle]

13. New York is more on Flav's level--they deserve each other

I thought she was a shoo in, but I was glad she lost because she kept mixing it up with everybody.

[angee_is_mad]

17. Thought so 2

I felt that New York would still be with him a year from now. Hoopz is too pretty to want to stay with him other than to try to get to bigger fish.

New York was more of a "Ride or Die" chick and would stick with him for longer than a minute. Plus I didn't like the way Hoopz mom was rubbing all on him, but then New York's mom was a total bourgie bitch.

Who is the real owner of the house? It was funny how the girls kept talking about moving into the house with him when they and everybody else knew that wasn't Flav's real house.

[linazelle]

19. I misssed a lot of episodes--like the one with their moms

I have to catch the reruns, and the upcoming reunion show. The previews show New York doing a total Jerry Springer Show routine.

I'm sure the show producers own the house.

[amitten]

8. Must we really set the bar so high...for Flava Flav?

Flava. Flav.

[UCLA02]

9. I ran into him a year or 2 ago at Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles

The fucker was high as an astronaut, but obliged our table to talk to us for about 5 minutes. It was unintentionally hilarious!

*Chuck D lowers and shakes his head in embarassment*

[kwassa]

23. The one on Pico, or the one in Hollywood?

[UCLA02]

24. Hollywood, baby!

Sunset and Gower. I love that place. Everybody needs a 3000-calorie brunch every so often!

[kwassa]

25. only 3000 calories? You are not trying!

[UCLA02]

28. I know...

I think that was Roscoe's "Heart Healthy" menu I was referring to.

;-)

[GRLMGC]

14. Seriously?

Aww, that sucks. Oh well, this show was fucking hilarious

[NYYFan]

22. And to think- He's gone from PE to . . . . this

What a joke. No one, not even Chuck takes him seriously anymore.

[Richardo]

26. That thread title does not need the (SPOILER) tag

It stands on its own. :thumbsup:

[LynneSin]

27. New York was a Skank Ho

which shocked me that Flavor Flav went with Hoops. The show was so horrible that you just had to watch it - kinda like that proverbial train wreck. Of course I only watched it after Big Love was done. Flavor Flav wanted to find love in a Reality TV show - New York fit him best because she was a loop job. I almost cheered when Pumkin did that bullseyes spit on her in the previous episode

And Hoops had every right to mouth off at Brigette who was pretty harsh in those dumbass polygraph tests.
