The Romantic Side Of Flavor Flav, October 13, 2006
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?

Flavor Of Love- The Complete First Season, October 18, 2006
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 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.

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

Disc 3
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-
The Reunion Special: ''After the Lovin''

This is mindless entertainment at its finest. Enjoy.

I Suprisingly liked it, February 16, 2007
Flavor of Love is one of those shows I would call a guilty pleasure, I never admitted to my best friend that I watched the whole entire season, because she always thought the show was stupid. I actually never intended on watching the show, it was just one of those days when I was bored, I had nothing to do,so I turn on the TV, and there it was. Ever since then I was hooked. What I found refreshing is that Flavor Flav (who is the hype-man of 80s hip-hop group "Public Enemy") is one of the most un-attractive men I have ever seen, instead of the usual tall, buff, and hunky men, we see on these type of reality shows, it's actually a short, scrawny man, with a "unique" sense of fashion, and it was actually amusing that there were 20 young women that were in Flav's mansion to fight for his affection, but of course throughout the course of the show we find out that some of these girl's are gold diggers, want fame, or just want to appear on TV, and there are also the other few who seem to be there for him. This show has some really hilarious scenes especially the ones that include New York (one of the contestants, who now happens to have her own reality series called 'I love New York'.)because she is one of the contestants to provide the most drama. The elimination process was another part I happened to enjoy as flav would call each girl by their nickname so they could go get their clock, meaning they were still a flavorette, and in the competition. Once they didn't get a clock it meant their time was up, and had to go. This show is just for pure entertainment and nothing else, so if you happen to catch the show I would say watch it because of the drama, backstabbing, and craziness going on in that house. I personally wouldn't buy it, but if you really like this show then go for it.
