Anatomy of Flavor

We're through the first seven episodes of Grey's Anatomy and loving it. I want to just sit down and watch all of them at once, but hubby is watching a race instead. Since he was a wonderful man and fixed scrambled eggs, sliced tomatoes, and bacon for the kids this morning, I'm not going to complain! Instead, I've just finished watching Flavor of Love.

I used to think it was like watching the proverbial train wreck or car crash. But I've revised my thinking to that of watching a drunk person at the college frat party. It's funny. It's pathetic. It's disgusting. It's nasty. It makes me want to scratch my eyes out, puncture my eardrums, and hold my nose. It stinks. But I can't help but watch. Because it's so danged entertaining.

As I watch, an occasional "Ew" comes forth from my mouth. Watching Flavor Flav kiss these girls and seeing how giddy they are to be in bed with him makes me scratch my head. I think it has to be his money and his celebrity. The girl eliminated today, Bootz, might have more class than any of the other chicks... she refused to sleep with that little horndog. And she was cast away. Well good for her - glad to hear she held on to her pride. Unlike girls who were eliminated earlier for shenanigans like pooping in their pants, having a fever blister, and being a porn ho.

My family makes fun of me for watching this awful show. My husband asks, "Is that really appropriate for you to watch when your daughter is in the room?" But I can't look away. It reconfirms what I've learned about people - if there is money or fame involved, they will throw away their integrity for their 15 minutes. And I keep watching.

Next week there are three left:


Delishis who threatened to quit the show this week because (boo-hoo) she wasn't getting enough attention from Flav. She was appeased and made happy, though, because he took her back to his room where they apparently "hooked up."


Krazy who is rumored to be the eventual winner according to Internet gossip. But she seems completely transparent, really working for a singing and modeling career.


New York. She was the second place finisher last season and came this time to help Flav figure out "who was real" ... he put her squarely back in the game because he still had feelings for her (probably down below). We know you can never believe what the show says happened because of editing stories to how the producers want them, but it does appear that he made her happy too. I can't wait for next week when her insane mom comes back for a visit.

All of this drama for him.

Ummmm... no thank you.

I'm glad you watch it so I don't have to! I always looked at it and I was like, oh my God. Thanks for the run down. I think that it would only make since for him and that Krazy chick to wind up together. They LOOK like they deserve each other. Are you serious that they pooped in their pants?

You should watch this French movie called Love Me If You Dare.

I have to agree with dailydiablogger. The idea of Flavor Flav being sexual sort of creeps me out, although I kinda liked Public Enemy.
Of course, I am a reality junkie myself and cannot look away from Big Brother, Amazing Race (I love the coal-mining couple) and Celebrity Fit Club.
I also like Project Runway.
But Flavor Flav being carnal.
Can't do it.
