Reeled in again...

I promised myself it would never happen again.
I would never go that far.
I would never go down that road.
I would use any means necessary: distraction, avoidance, outright rejection.

I am talking, of course, about Rock of Love 2 on VH1.

Some of my more observant readers would remember my description of Rock of Love from a few months ago... it is a "dating" show for Bret Michaels, the frontman of the 80's band Poison, who is looking for love and assembles large groups of the women and eliminates one each episode. I totally got hooked in the first season (Who will the final choice be: brooding Jessica who needed to let her guard down or crazy Heather, who got "Bret" tattooed on her neck as a sign of her devotion?) and when I heard another season was starting (I KNEW Heather would have been the better choice!!) I tried to stay away. Really, I tried.

But then the reruns started being played at 2-3pm when I am sitting on the couch with Jenna and nothing good is on. Then I started to learn some of the girls' names. Then I started deliberating who would be the best fit for Bret. I was sucked in.

So, I just finished watching the latest episode. The show is down to three contestants, and they couldn't have better names: Daisy, Ambre (pronounced Amber but with a makes-no-sense spelling change) and, of course, Destiney. With that extra E. They are fascinating to watch with their fake boobs, fake lips, fake hair, fake nails, and fake personalities. Destiney is the wild child, hot headed one whom Bret is worried will be a liability with his fans backstage. (Honestly. He said that.) Ambre appears to be the most rational but turns out she's 37 and looks a little long in the tooth for Bret.

And then there's Daisy.

Daisy is my favorite, with her Barbie-doll figure and penchant for drama and crying and love for Bret. She actually sobbed when she found out she was safe this elimination. She has great clothes (and when I say great I mean the most ridiculous porn-type outfits you can imagine) and I am rooting for her to win it all. As Bret said, however, "I am crazy attracted to you physically but not emotionally... and that connection has to be there." Go, Daisy! Connect, connect, connect!

So I am back to watching, rooting and feeling slightly dirty afterwards. Thankfully there are only three episodes left.

Hey, at least I'm not watching Flavor of Love 3.
