More of a public favorite now
Flavor Flav’s third VH-1 show is set to premiere tonight. That’s right, his third. First he appeared on “The Surreal Life 3,” then came “Strange Love,” and now he’s set to star in “Flavor of Love.”
VH-1 explains the premise of the show, which is set to kick off tonight at 10 EST:
After his failed romance with Brigitte Nielsen, Flavor Flav is ready for a new and true romance. In “Flavor of Love,” 20 single women from all walks of life, selected for their expressed love for Flav, will move into a “phat crib” in Los Angeles and vie for his affection. With help and advice from Big Rick, Flav’s gigantic body-guard and chauffeur, Flavor Flav will date all of the women, weed out the ones who are only after his fame and fortune…and in the end will choose his one true love.
So not only is VH-1 trotting out a hackneyed celebrity in their “Celebreality” tradition, but the channel is also throwing him into a totally tired dating show, ala “The Bachelor.”
So you might have noticed that Flavor Flav has decided to take a somewhat different route than his former Public Enemy bandmate Chuck D, who hosts his own show on Air America Radio, launched a Web site called Rapstation.com to further hip hop music, started his own record label — SlamJamz. He also writes, does public speaking and is politically active.
But yeah, I’ll probably check out “Flavor of Love,” boooyyyyyyy.

“Put my address in the paper cuz I smacked that girl… she’s the mother of my kids I took her ‘round the world.”
What a catch!

Update. I think this show is amusing.
Last night, the “women” left in the talent pool had to make flav some fried chicken so he could see what kind of cooks they are. One of these classy ladies actually put a small, raw chicken on a plate, put some carrots and other veggies around it, put it in the microwave and hit a button that conveniently said “chicken” (presumably to heat up chicken that had already been cooked). She thought this was totally acceptable. Didn’t cut it open to see if it was, you know, still raw on the inside. Note that on TV, to the naked eye, it appeared quite raw. She said numerous times that she thought this was fine, at one point saying something like (alone to the camera) that she didn’t know what the big deal was because “it’s cooked it just doesn’t look cooked”.
When flav and his mom saw her dish he looked at all the women and said “this is a joke, right”…. the preparer looked around with a bewildered “who done served that up to flav?” kind of look on her plate.
Anyway, amusing show. This girl was NOT the one booted last night. The one booted acted like a desparate, needy retard in front of flav’s mom.

“on her plate” should read “on her face”.
Unless where you are from plate and face are synonymous, then we’re already cool.
