At their peak in the late-1980s, who could've predicted that Public Enemy's hype man would become one of reality TV's biggest stars? For William Drayton Jr., AKA Flavor Flav, the journey began with VH1's The Surreal Life 3, which spawned Strange Love (co-starring the inimitable Brigitte Nielsen), culminating in Flavor of Love, a down and dirty version of ABC's soft-focus Bachelor. Instead of a tall, bland hunk, the prize is a diminutive 46-year-old with a unique vocabulary ("Yeah, Boyeee!"), an unusual dress sense (Viking helmets, sci-fi sunglasses, wall clock necklaces), and his own "Body Man," Big Rick. Over the course of this 10-part series, 20 women compete to become Flav's lady love. Seeing as the show is made for cable--and that this is the unrated edition--that means risqué language and revealing outfits are fair game (there's even a little Girls Gone Wild nudity from a few Flavorettes). Because Flav isn't good with names, he doles out some easy-to-remember handles. There's the moody Rain, sensitive Smiley, catty New York, etc. In each episode (except for the recap), he eliminates one to five contestants. Those left standing "know what time it is." Challenges include hot tub-speed dating, a fried chicken cook-off, and Vegas-style roulette. A cross between Jerry Springer and a rap video, the "celebreality" extravaganza is an explosion of hair extensions and false eyelashes set to a soundtrack of screaming and crying. Nonetheless, Flavor of Love pulled in the punters--the finale was the highest rated program in the network's history--and was renewed for a second go-round, indicating that America was "feeling" the Flav...and that the winner split the crib. Guests include Nielsen and Flav's Church-going mom, Anna. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

5.0 out of 5 stars The Romantic Side Of Flavor Flav, October 13, 2006

By 

Tyrone Williams (Canton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Flavor of Love - The Complete First Season (DVD)

It's Flavor Of Love starring the one & only Flavor Flav and 20 beautiful women who are willing to do anything (lie, back-stab, cat-fight, snitch, etc.) to be the one woman by Flav's side. This show is HILARIOUS!

20 women from various backgrounds compete to win Flav's love through challenges (cooking, gambling, 5 senses, etc.) to win a private date with Flav and through intimate one-on-one sessions to see what each girl is really about - Which girl really loves Flav and which girl is there to pursue her own interests (modeling, TV career or Flav's fame & fortune). Watching each girl's fate unfold through the eliminations is what keeps my interest in this show. Some of the girls were:

NEW YORK - From day one, her focus was to have Flav for her very own. Making it clear that she would not "play fair" or "make friends", she creates as much drama as she can to eliminate the other girls. Her determination (& underhandedness) gets her as far as the final elimination (and subsequently another shot at Flav in Season 2).

RED OYSTER - She's sexy, has a thing for the color red, and was Flav's self-appointed in-house spy. She made it her duty to inform Flav of any & all shady activities that the other girls were up to - with Flav's best interests at heart, of course. Quite a shocker to find out that she was still married while she was on the show.

HOTTIE - Her appearance on "Blind Date" exposed her as a gold digger, A polygraph test revealed her as a habitual liar and her "raw-chicken-with-veggies" meal ceritfied her as the worst cook in the world. The whole "I look like Beyonce" thing was probably the funniest moment on the show.

SERIOUS - The "misunderstood" model. Though she claims she wasn't there to further her modeling career, she didn't make her intentions with Flav clear enough - if she had any intentions at all.

SWEETIE - Flav's mother said to him that Sweetie appeared "desperate" to win and during her final one-on-one she seemed to be coming on pretty strong with him, perhaps to stay in the competition. Maybe that was the reason she was eliminated. But I think Flav should have kept her (instead of Hottie) because despite her childhood trauma with chicken, she was a trooper and cooked it for him anyway.

GOLDIE - I loved Goldie! I think she should have won! Of all the girls, she was the most down to earth and (according to the polygraph test) the most honest. In spite of the fact that she got a little TOO TIPSY before the first elimination, she proved that she could hold her own in the competiton. She was sweet, very funny and quite sexy, as demonstrated by that HOT kiss she laid on Flav during his date with her & New York (Goldie, where have you been!!!). Her admitting to Flav that she "just wanted to be his friend" was what eliminated her but I think if she really wanted him she could have been the winner. Flav was obviously "feeling" her.

HOOPZ - The girl who came out on top. She was also very down to earth and very beautiful. She would not resort to the "sexual tactics" some of the other girls used to get Flav and that made her genuine. Her ace in the hole was when she went on the date with Flav & his mother after winning the "chicken" competition. She won over Flav's mom while being herself the whole time. Though later it would turn out that she and Flav were not meant to be, she deserved to win.

I won't say much about the "spitting incident", other than it made Pumkin the worst contestant on the show and possibly all of reality TV.

This DVD contains all of the episodes with uneditied language, some brief nudity, the reunion show (After The Lovin') and other extra features.

This weekend we'll see the conclusion of Season 2 - will New York win this time?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious show, September 4, 2006

By 

Kenneth Vera - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Flavor of Love - The Complete First Season (DVD)

this is the unrated first season of the flavor of love.

yes.. it is unrated as in all the language is there and most of the body shots are also uncensored. New York's shots are uncensored and smiley's strip tease is uncensored. However, pumkin is still censored and the one girl who jumps into the shower in episode 4 is censored. Also, the girl who shows her [...] to hottie in the famous "i look like beyonce" scene is also uncensored.

anyway.. there are all 10 episodes, the reunion, and a couple things they didnt show about pumkin trying to act black and some more of New York's outtakes. If you have already seen the season and the reunion the extras arent worth it, and you should buy this only if you want to relive the season without the bleeps and censors.

i bought this dvd because i love the show and like watching the fights over and over again.

the show is hilarious and over the top at times.. and has one of the funniest reality [...] of all time, New York.

Flavor Flav is back. In Flavor of Love, 20 women from all walks of life are selected for their love of Flav, but only 15 move into his 'phat crib' in Los Angeles and vie for his affection with the help of Big Rick, Flavs gigantic bodyguard and chauffeur. Be prepared to be entertained with this 3 disc set of all 10 episodes from Season 1 plus Special Features.

List of Episodes and Features-
Disc 1

Episode 2- ''Rub a Dub Flav'', Flav challenges his remaining Flavorettes to a hot tub speed-dating competition. The next day the winners accompany Flav on a Roller Date where he asks probing questions about their past relationships. 5 More go home by the end of the night.
Episode 3- ''A Friend of Flav's is a Friend of Mine'', In this episode Flav presents the girls with 2 challenges. One includes assisting at an old folks home and the other is a birthday party with twenty five screaming four year olds.
Episode 4- ''The Flavor of Chicken'', Flavor Flav has another special suprise for his eight remaining ladies: Meeting his Mother Anna Drayton and then going to church and a nice tea party. The next day the girls attempt to make fried chicken. The girl who makes the best chicken gets the date with Flav. This is the infamous 'chicken in the microwave' episode.

Disc 2

Episide 9-''The slaps, smacks, screams and spit you never saw'', This episode shows everything. It's basically a recap of most of the show with some new things added in.
Episode 10-: ''Viva La Flav'', Final 2 girls remain. Flav takes them to Puerto Vallarta for an intense 24 hours alone with each girl. We know both will be impressed, but which one gets to live that kind of lifestyle once elimination is over?

Special Features-

This is mindless entertainment at its finest. Enjoy.
