Last night, my husband and I were bored and channel surfing, and somehow ended up on the second episode of Rock of Love 2. Apparently, Bret Michaels did not find love the first time around, so VH1 brought another stable of 20 dumb sluts over to his house in the hopes that he would find true love with one of them.
By the end of the episode, we’d set up a TiVo season pass. This is going to be a serious guilty pleasure, but man, oh man. The girls seem to range in age from 21 to 45, and the only feature that unites them all is that they’re all total skanks. Most of them have double-digit IQs, it seems, and they’re all named stuff like Ambre (not a typo) or Destiney (ditto). One girl missed the first elimination because she was falling-down drunk. There’s already a bunch of in-fighting amongst the girls, who have to live together and compete amongst one another for snippets of this aging hair metal star’s time so they can “make a spiritual connection,” which seems for the most part to be a euphemism for “show as much skin as possible and hope he wants to nail me so much that he keeps me around despite the fact that I’m a total vapid whore.”
As a fan of the hair metal era, I’ll admit–I love this show. Anyone else?
I watched the first season, but this year it’s just too much. Call me a romantic, but I thought he and Heather from season one made a really great couple. If he thinks he’s going to find a girl better suited to him than her, he’s mistaken.
And it’s semi-embarassing to watch these girls try to out-skank each other for Bret’s attention. It was pretty bad last season, but this time is unbearable. I’ve worked with lots of attention whores and girls with daddy issues, but these bitches take the cake. There’s not a shred of self-respect between them.
(I’ll probably still watch it. Damn celebreality!)
Oh man, you have no idea how much I was looking forward to season 2. I’m pretty sure that I have faithfully watched every (seasons 1 and 2) episode’s premier.
I’m watching…even though my 14 y.o. daughter rolls her eyes and says “He’s sooo shallow!” I like the subtitles for Angelique…they don’t make anything she says any clearer.
This season I’m rooting for Katherine…someone closer to his age, beautiful, down to earth…wait…she’s too good for him.
I would like Catherine a lot more if she changed that hideous hairstyle. Has that look ever been popular? It looks like a bad wig. And where are Catherine’s twin sons while she’s slutting it up in the big house?
So far, I like Peyton. Good mix of slutty and sensible, uses multisyllabic words, and seems to have a lot in common with him.
The Angelique subtitles are awesome. I love how they spell things how she says them. “I am zee only streeper in zee house.”
