Rock Of Love

I have to admit that when I am surfing the 100+ television stations on our TV that I tend to keep going back to some old favorites.. MTV, VH1, MusicHD, TNT, TBS, the list goes on and on. My husband has told me many times in the past that I am addicted to watching music videos. And sometimes that might be true if he happens to find me on weekend mornings watching MTV or VH1- since that is about the ONLY time they actually air them these days! (Which really bites by the way!) But, every once in while or a couple of times a year one of these two "music" TV stations will air a celebrity-type reality show that is just SO bad that you just have to keep watching it. This blog is about one of those...

I am not really sure when I started watching "Rock Of Love" on VH1... probably pretty early into it... but the gist of the show is to find Bret Michaels, the lead singer of the band "Poison" a new girlfriend. Now any of you who was a teenager of the mid-to-late 80's knows who Bret Michaels is... he was the sexy-rock-idol-love interest of a LOT of middle and high school aged girls... you know the look... big, blonde spiked hair, tight leather pants, no shirt, big biker boots, electric guitar hanging from his neck, microphone buried in his mouth, etc. He was most popular with the cheerleaders and cool girls in my high school class... along with Jon Bon Jovi, Axle Rose, and any other hair band members from the 80's music scene.

But, today Bret is much older, somewhat heavier, less hair but still parties like a rock star... So this show started with about 25 or so ladies that just wanted to be his female lover. Sounds pretty cut and dry just like every other "bachelor-type" reality show out there, right? Well, not really... this shows has some of the most scary looking, even scarier acting females you have ever seen trying to score Bret at any costs... they are groupies, strippers, dancers, hair dressers, waitresses, etc. They are willing to anything like exposing their private parts for points with him, taking porno-type polaroid pics of each other to give him, they fight like cats with each other to get closer to their man... Heck, even one chick, Heather one of the strippers, went out and got a tattoo of Bret's name on her neck for crying out loud!! She wanted to prove her undying love to him by permanently marring her body with his name... Now to me this just seems like a last ditch effort since they are down to only four girls now... Yes, they eliminated Mia, the quiet brunette last week and they are now down to the "Fearless Four"... You really have to watch the show to comprehend just how ridiculous it is... I hate to admit that I do find it truly entertaining... it just so bad that you cannot help but watch the next episode to see what ludacris act one of the last four are going to do to get their man... Personally, I think it is between Jess and Heather (I vote for Jess)... and I cannot believe that Lacey has made it this far considering how much the others hate her and her psychotic antics! But, this Sunday is new episode and I will probably be there to see who makes it to the next round... how sad is that?
