old VH1 reality shows

VH1 had a marathon of Flavor of Love and I love New York recently and although I felt dirty after watching them, I always enjoyed them. What's your thoughts on classic VH1 reality shows like Flavor of Love, I love New York , Charm school, Fit club etc

What was the name of the I Love NY guy who got his own dating show. He lived in his parents basement in New Jersey.

They should have a mega reunion. WEHT 12 pack, Mr. Boston, Meghan, etc.?

I just looked it up: Frank The Entertainer in A Basement Affair

He was so hot

I loved those trashy shows. They ended them too soon for sure. Flavor/Rock of Love (even though Bret was a bore), I Love New York, Charm School, I Love Money, where usually entertaining to watch. Couldn't stand to watch the ones with Daisy and Megan. They were too skanky, dumb and annoying.

I think I missed the Frank show. Yes, he was hot.

Some of them were funny characters - Sapphyrii, Buckwild, Mr. Boston, etc. We used to call Rock of Love Bus "One Step Ahead Of The CDC" - Bret Michaels and his fascination with those stripper whores made Flavor Flav look positively classy!

I know why she was hated but I think that Meghan got a raw deal.

Something shits on the floor on Flavor of Love.

And the next day left her used tampon on the soap rack in the shower. Nasty bitch.

I adore New York's freakout at Flav over her elimination.

Saaphyri batshit debut:

"Girl, you better quit interuptin' my prayers. before God directs me to whoop yo ass."

There was a show where teams had to physically transport $1 million dollars but every time they did, they'd lose some of it.

Does anyone else remember this show? It was so stupid.

Charm School had Hottie who was one of the best characters ever on a show. On one of the show, they did a fashion show and one team chose a fat girl to represent them. Even her own teammates turned against her during the judging.

Hottie trying to cook a chicken in the microwave.

I almost died when she said she looked like Beyoncé and NY told her she looked like Luther Vandross.

It was obvious she was much more educated the other others (although NY is certainly no idiot). She was a bit off in the head though, apparently. She was awfully proud of her big, saggy tits.

I loved "Tool Academy," mostly for this big dumb Masshole. He and several other Tools did a jerkoff vid for Straight College Men.

Remember that top Hottie used to wear that looked like each boob had a separate hammock.

R14 You could drive a mack truck in between her cleavage. And her flabby belly isn't any better.

I remember when tried selling her clothes (couture, she claimed) on Charm School at a thrift shop for achallenge, but the people refused to take them because they were stained and smelled.

Classic - so much to love about this elimination, especially when New York pulls off her high heel, and Hoopz laughing at the whole thing.

10, that show was called Ton O' Cash and they only lost money if they didn't complete the mission in time. I'm not sure but I think the show was pretty much the end of that type of show on Vh1,

Sex, Lies, and Video clips was very good.

Didn't Saaphyri go to prison for something? I loved her -- don't remember why.

These shows ended because the contestant on Megan Wants A Millionaire killed his girlfriend and then himself during that show's airing. So they canceled that show mis-season without full airing a sap well as a whole unaired season of I Love Money which he reportedly won. And future Oscar winner Mo'nique hosted a season of charm school, no?

Isn't New York back on VH1 soon with a family therapy show?

R20 it's a show with Claudia from RHOA. Not about therapy. Not sure what channe, it's on.

r20 and r21

NY is currently on the next 15 on TV One and will be on VH1 on a show about family therapy with Sister Patterson in March or April

Sister Patterson was hilarious. Remember when she tried to break up NY and Flava by saying she was dying. NY asked what she was dying from and Sistah said they don't have a name for it yet.

I saw 15 minutes of that 15 Minutes show. Yuck, what a trainwreck. Everyone is turnt up to 11 to get the most screen time. What I saw was New York screaming at Claudia while Karamao, the gay guy from the Real World, clutched his pearls.

Sharon Osborne hosted a season of Charm School and assaulted Meghan at the reunion after Meghan said some not-so-nice things about Ozzy. Meghan was seriously injured and sued but "Mrs. O" rode her celebrity out of the courtroom and back to her comfy mansion. I fucking loathe Sharon Osborne.

I loathe her too. Was that on camera? I didn't know that. I hate that I know this but Ricki Lake was also a host of charm school.

Sharon started it by flinging a glass of juice on her. Megan exaggerated her injuries -- Sharon pulled her hair, but that was it.

The assault as it aired on TV is at the end of this clip. Megan really got under Sharon's skin.

Sharon threw a drink in Megan's face and as she reacted to that (eyes closed, wiping away liquid), Sharon took advantage of her of her vulnerable state by slamming the glass into the top of her head. The camera shows Sharon on top of Megan but not the actual blow.

Ignore the clip at R27, attached is the correct clip. Judge for yourself.

That bitch Megan had it coming. She kicked one of the other girls in the stomach and got her fat ass eliminated - that's what started the whole thing. Anyway, most people know that Sharon goes nuts when you fuck with her family, so the bitch should have kept her mouth shut.

Megan had to show off her body to take the attention off her fat, greasy face. She just seemed like a rotten person, vapid and mean spirited. And not even in an entertaining way. She was a total Paris Hilton wanna-be, even down to carrying around a little dog.

I'm far from a fan of Sharon O, but I cheered out loud when Sharon kicked her ass.

R19 Yes, Saaphyri was arrested back in 2008 and spent nearly 2 years in jail. She used her uncle's identity and using his credit to buy stuff without his permission (including her breast implants supposedly). She claimed he owed her money anyway. It was revealed her real name was Wanda Scott and she was in her 40s at the time (she was really born in 1965, I think).

She probably would've gotten her own show if all of that didn't happen. She was crazy but very entertaining.

Here's her amazing mug shot.

OMG !! The memories I have of these shows. I mainly watched I love New York to look at 12 Pack. I ended up watching part 2 because of Tailor Made vs Buddha when Tailor Made ran around the room screeching after the headbutt. I stuck around with that season mainly to see how the other guys would mock Tailor Made.

Side note: Wtf ethnicity is Tailor Made ??? He's obviously part German from his last name, but he looks half filipino.

Anyone remember New York's short-lived show where she did odd jobs or something? Did I dream that?

R33 Yes, it was called New York Goes to Work. It was funny watching NY's reactions to some of the stuff that happened.

Glad she's having a comeback, she's TV Gold.

New York Goes to Work premiered on May 4, 2009. The reality show follows Pollard as she searches for a regular job.[20] The jobs are selected by fans (via text messaging) from a list of three possible jobs for each episode. Pollard receives a $10,000 bonus each week if she is able to impress her employer. However, if she instead quits, fails or gets fired, she receives no bonus for the week. Altogether, Pollard wins $45000, earning bonuses in 4 jobs (in episodes 1, 2, 5 and 6); losing, failing in, or quitting 4 jobs (in episodes 3, 4, 7 and 8); and coming to a draw in the season finale. At the end of the series, a mobile poll is presented giving three choices for New York's next task, and the most votes are cast for I Love New York 3.

Anyone believe that New York is only 34? I seem to remember that Rich Juzwiak from Gawker interviewing the flavor of love girls for web content.

She does look older than that. Wouldn't be surprised if she really was older than she claims.

I loved when Frenchie got eliminated from Charm School - she flashed her tits at the camera, proclaiming "Fuck Charm School! I love stripping and I'll never stop!"

R4 Yes, the Rock of Love Bus season got some of the sleaziest looking women they could find.

Delicate flower DJ Lady Tribe, who was so wasted she was wobbling around half the time.

And of course there was 'Abomb' ever-so-classy Ashley.

Heather and her many trashy hairstyles on Rock of Love.

Some of the women on these shows were porn stars now that iI think back on this era of Vh1. The token black chick from Rock of Love did a scene with Billy Glyde , and Bethany Benz was on For The Love of Ray-j.

Which black chick? IIRC one of them was named Dallas.

My favorite was America's Most Smartest Model with Brett Novek and VJ Logan and Ben Stein.

R44 It was Natasha, who some thought was a man due to her deep voice. She also did a scene with Evan Stone.

One of the other token black girls on ROL called Raven also did porn. She was eliminated in the first episode.

I loved Surreal Life and Celebrity Rehab.

Another vote for Surreal Life

Inhated every moment of Surreal Life but the spinoffs were great.

Dallas from ROL was hilarious and hated Lacey, which made her OK in my book. When she got eliminated (at least in part thanks to cunt Lacey) she told the producers "Lacey can eat my shit", LOL.

Lacey was trying HARD to get her own show (and to promote her crappy music).

I don't know why they even bothered casting black women on Rock of Love (besides for entertainment purposes - Dallas was great). It was obvious Bret wasn't attracted to them and none made it further than episode 5.

My favorite Surreal Life moments:

A shirtless "Peter Brady" kindly convincing a very drunk and naked "Mini Me" to stop peeing on the wall and go to bed.

Corey Feldman screaming at MC Hammer and Vince Neil while the latter two were "trapped" in the back row of a van.

Vern naked in that scooter peeing all over the place was hilarious (and a little sad). I seem to remember Janice Dickinson trying to climb out of the kitchen window but I don't remember why she did it.

Remember Tawny Kitaen's multiple meltdowns on The Surreal Life? Talk about embarrassing.

Remember the ill fated one called Baseball Wives?

"Kept" with men competing to be the boy-toy of Jerry Hall. I didn't like the guy Jerry picked in the end, but here's an interesting interview with him.

[quote] Jerry wasn’t attractive to me at all. I just wanted to stay and party.

"Strip Search" - amateurs competing to be the next Thunder From Down Under.

I loved Surreal Life, especially the season with Carey Hart who I thought and still think is very sexy.

My favorite was Charm School with Monique. I died when she got gangsta with Larissa aka Bootz LOL.

Monique was not there for the foolishness. This is the lady that went on to win an Academy Award a couple years later! What a colorful career Monique has had. She's returned to host Love & Hip Hop. I think Monique should get her own reality show on VH1 next. It's not like she is doing anything else. We could see how hood she really keeps it, and how that open relationship with her husband works out lol

I love New York, she's hilarious. I re-watched the first season of ILNY last week, damn, Real was so handsome and sweet, what a shame he died so young.

Daisy was dim but seemed sweet. The demise of those trashy VH1 "Love" shows is all Megan's fault, that nasty, BO-having bitch!

Chance is on the Next 15 with New York next week!!

The most iconic scene ever!

New York is on Famous and Single airing summer 2017

I adore Tiffany Pollard. She was UHVRYTHING on last year's winter Celebrity Big Brother.

51 Mind's VH1 work was amazing. I am still bummed that we were robbed of I Love Money 3, it was an epic season from what Lil Hood (from For the Love of Ray J) told me.

I thought Frank the Entertainer was sexy, too — and there were some hotties on “Tool Academy” as well — remember Matsuflex?

E! also has some bizarre reality shows around that time — two seasons of “Vegas Showgirls” which illustrated how unglamorous that life is, and the classic “The Entertainer”, where showbiz wannabes vie for the opportunity to open for (I kid you not) Wayne Newton. Seeing some of them suck up to “Mr. Newton” was truly cringeworthy.

I grew up with reality shows like these (and The Anna Nicole Show, and The Simple Life) and honestly can't watch current reality TV like the Housewives etc. because it just isn't as entertaining.... it's just as fake and scripted and trashy and tacky, but it doesn't have the absurdity, or LIFE that you see on shows like Flavor of Love or Real World.

New York has to be one of the greatest TV characters of the decade. Everything that came out of her mouth was gold, I still quote her regularly in my day to day life. Her feuds with Bootz and Deelishis were too funny, and the way she targeted poor Buckwild.

A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila (a bisexual dating show where lesbians and straight guys all shared the same giant bed) was also outrageously stupid and entertaining on VH1. Good times.

Scream Queens

I still need to check out season 3.

Flavor of Love was my favorite show as a 9/10 year old, my parents thought I was insane. I loved all the drama! I still remember watching the scene where Pumkin spits on New York. I thought that was peak television. I remember rooting for Hottie because at least she was honest about her goldigging intentions. If Flav didn’t have money or fame you cannot tell me those women would look at him twice

Also,

Also my parents watched the reality show with Hulk Hogan’s family and I remember watching it with them as a kid. I thought he was way too overprotective about his daughter

And I also loved Viva La Bam! The Jackass shows/movie are a guilty pleasure of mine

My all-time favorite was "The Pickup Artist", where a freako named Mystery and his two guido-y wingmen taught real nerds how to pick up women with techiques such as "negging" which if I remember didn't work as well for the nerds as it apparently did for Mystery and his henchmen.

The best, and most laughable part was the idea that someone who looked like Mystery would be able to find any way of getting laid other than his right hand

Pumpkin still needs her ass whooped, and that fucking face lift.

[quote]My favorite Surreal Life moments:

Speaking of which, does anyone else remember that god-awful series My Fair Brady? It was about Christopher Knight and his girlfriend, an ANTM winner he met on Surreal Life.

It was genuinely one of the worst shows I've ever seen (and NOT in a fun, entertaining way like Flavor of Love and its assorted spinoffs). Those two were absolutely toxic together. They made Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen look stable and mature in comparison.

R80!!! Yes!! Her name was Adrienne. My god he was still so sexy and handsome at that point, that's primarily why I watched.

My god, when was this, 2004 , 2005??

Where does the time go-

"Punk" from I Love New York is David Otunga, former professional wrestler, attorney (Harvard), and Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson's baby daddy.

“Tough Love” - a dating show where contestants are put through a relationship boot camp. Relationship “expert”/matchmaker Steven Ward was pudgy but cute.

I thought Steven on “Tough Love” was cute, too, R83 — and those brows were a work of art!

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

The Hoopz and Shaq breakup is old news, she's still BAE though.

Yes, "My Fair Brady" was awful since it was obvious to everyone (including Christopher and Adrienne?) that they were a toxic couple who were only together because the sex was good and because she had daddy issues.

The worst episode was when Florence Henderson appeared to give Christopher "motherly" advice and ended up saying nasty things to and about Adrienne. Florence was quite a showboat but I don't think that it was just to create drama for the cameras--she really hated Adrienne and didn't care who knew it. This made Christopher and Adrienne miserable while Flo just fucked off to the airport and got on with her life.

Christopher was recently one of the celebs to get a psychic reading on the "Hollywood Medium" show starring DL fave Tyler Henry. No mention of Adrienne, unsurprisingly. Christopher looked good and seemed reasonably content. Whatever happened to Adrienne?

Loved those VH1 reality shows!!

[quote]There were some hotties on “Tool Academy” as well — remember Matsuflex?

He displayed gyno titties and a sad little wiener in the JO vid he did with Shawn Southern, a.k.a. Loudmouth Tool. Shawn was cute but had "I Need to Speak to the Manager" hair.

I was in lust with John Lamb, a.k.a. Giant Tool at R13.

It was the Golden Age if Television.

It was, fuck Ryan Jenkins for ruining it.

Does anyone remember a show on the network that had regular folks singing to their car radios?
