I don't get it
So last night, I got caught up watching "Flavor of Love". Now you may or may not know this about me....but I love Reality TV. I only watch three regular shows. And only one is MUST SEE TV (LOST FANS, Holla!)
I never miss Project Runway, I dish about Top Model and I still love Amazing Race.
However, Flavor of Love MUST BE STOPPED. What is it about this damn train wreck that makes people watch? I watched my first full episode last night and I am officially deeply disturbed.
While watching two questions immediately sprung to mind.
1) Flavor Flav is a catch......WHY?
2) They find these women....WHERE?
The visuals last night were so disturbing. First there was a shirtless Flav in a pit of mushed grapes with two women, groping on their bikini clad asses. I may never drink wine again. Thanks VH1.
Then there was some woman tongue kissing Flav while another sat and watched and got seasick. (I hear ya girl).
There was a crazy chick named New York who clearly is on some sort of drugs. She ranted, raved, chain smoked, cried, pouted, cussed, stripped down to a g-string and then ended the night moaning like a cat in heat, locked in a room with Flav getting busy. Hmmmmmmm. Whatever she did, she ended up with the first pick by Flav.
The one that got sent home, was the one that refused to give up any azz.
Why are we watching this? Are we concerned with the GIANT step backwards our race is taking with this sh*t being on TV? What message does it send? Is anyone else mad at themselves for wasting a precious hour of life that can never be returned?
I know I am.
For the loyal watchers...please enlighten me. And don't front cause this show is popular as hell. I know you are out there.

You must've read my mind. I was thinking about venting on this nonsense myself. It's a minstrel show for 2006. This fool has undone in 2 years what Chuck D & Public Enemy created almost 20 years ago. What happened to Flavor Flav from It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back or Fear of a Black Planet??? I guess his bank account must’ve been somewhat dry and the thirst of America and VH-1 viewers flooded it back up again. Once again as Black folks we laugh at this ignorance. In fact, we salivate awaiting the next episode of the Coon Chronicles. Everything that is wrong with the portrayal of Blacks on TV can be found in this one show. It’s sad, it really is. I think I’m gonna go watch Bamboozled again.
Ok. (As I hang my head in shame)...I watch it every week.
I'm a reality freak and I love the drama. I watch it all from Real World to ANTM to Laguna Beach.
I will admit that this season of the show is getting more and more tasteless as it continues. New York is crazy and I mean clinical. He's slutting these women out and their letting him.
I think I watch to see what are they going to do next? What BS is going to come out of someone's mouth? Whose going to shyt on the floor next? They got me for shock value!
You know I'm more of a TV junkie than you are.
We MUST talk LOST and Top Model...hell and Runwway...come get on the Message Board
For the record:
Top Model: I'm rollin with Jadea and Anchal
LOST: What was up with the 3 toe statue? And the Antartic dudes?
Runway: Michael is that dude.
...anyway,
Flav is not a catch...he is indeed a train wreck. BUT it's 'good TV' therefore it must be watched.
..just like Being Bobby Brown was.
It's new exploitation but 'they' aren't doing it we are.
They dont find these women...stupid as it is, they find VH1 and I really think SOME would actually dig due because their lives otherwise are complete and udder shit
..other than that they want exposure
I'M just mad I dont get to see Bootz' "bootz" anymore :(
Hey you!
Hit me back

Truly I feel you-I watched my first episode this weekend and was thoroughly sick to my stomach with the ignorant azz women kissing that booger-MOUTH OPEN. YUCK-there is not enough money in the world.
Maaaaaan!!! 1969!!! I have not finished watcthing that episode ya gone and ruined it for me now !
) Flavor Flav is a catch......HEEEELLL NOOOOO!!! But he need love like err one else..lol
2) They find these women?....Various strip clubs and porn sites..
I hate and love this show all at the same time...lol.
I watched one episode and it was like a car wreck, or a natural disaster, combined with a everything that's wrong with wanna-be gangsta rap and ghetto stereotypes. What would the Chuck D of 1995 said of all this? Sorry, I'm just not a pimp and ho kind of guy. I've seen what happens and refuse to roll that way.
I've never seen it, and don't have any intentions of seeing it, but I hear my co-workers talking about it all the time. I was very shocked to hear that they did a second season, but what can you say? There's an audience out there for damn near anything.
