I have a confession to make.
My name is Amber Rose Perry and I am a “Flavor of Love” junkie.
I am in love with “Flavor of Love”.
It has gotten to the point where I visit former contestants’ Myspace pages.
Monday mornings in the office are filled with me and members of the Office of Student Media replaying last night’s events.
I can quote lines from the show and in the voice of the character. Especially when Buckwild, the racially confused white girl from California, said, “I’m so black I taste like menthol,” a Facebook quote.
It is impossible to get any work done when everyone is discussing the merits of each woman and who “deserves” Flav. All the while wondering to ourselves who in the world actually wants to be Mrs. Flavor Flav?
But I have to give it to Flav and VH1, they picked entertaining characters for the second season, even though most of them look like they are fresh out of somebody’s strip club.
Take the Nibblz versus Toasteee porn star battle. From day one, Nibblz makes it clear she is a stripper and does ‘Internet modeling’, Toasteee claims she is also a model.
When Nibblz finds out Toasteee has been telling the other girls about an incident between she and Flav while the three of them were in bed, Nibblz reveals to Flav that Toasteee is nothing more than a porn actress who only wants to further her career (who saw that one coming?).
Flav seems surprised that some of the contestants where not there for him, but there to push their demos, like Krazy, who has just enough talent to get booed off Apollo.
Then there is New York. It’s not the cigarette that is permanently attached to her fingers that she constantly waves around that I love, or her dramatic gestures when she describes the “proper” way Flav put it on her, but her mother, Michelle.
Am I the only person who finds it weird Michelle is the only voice of reason on the show? Okay, so she did tell New York she had a no named condition with only a short time to live. But can you blame her?
In all honestly, I want Deelishis to win. She is down to earth, Flav’s six kids like her and she can make it clap…a match made in heaven.
After this year, VH1 should replace Flav with someone else, like Whitney Houston, she’s single.
