If quality were a car and it went from zero -- or maybe 45 MPH in reverse -- to 60 MPH (in drive) in less than a second, the sensation might be something like the jolt that I got last night.
Yes, Poison's Bret Michaels is back in "Rock of Love." I think the show's own website on VH1 puts it pretty nicely: "Are you ready to rock, reality TV style? Again? And on a bus?"
I have to admit, it's a guilty pleasure for my wife and me. Partly because most of the contestants act absolutely insane and partly to watch Mr. Michaels' unpredictable reaction to the drama. At least, his reactions would rarely be mine. Someone talking trash to him about another contestant? Instead of suspecting the trash-talker's motivations, he appreciates the information and accepts it unequivocally. Someone such a nutjob that she is quite literally a danger to herself and others? It turns him on.
Before the premiere episode got down to what the show does best -- namely, showing mostly sub-literate women with boob jobs get drunk and fight -- a contestant from the "nutjob" camp performed some kind of unintelligible rap from Bret. The problem was that the words were written on a brochure about STD's.
Anyway, I had to chuckle at the irony when the first ad in a commercial break was for the Critics Choice Awards. Strangely, "Rock of Love" got snubbed. AGAIN!!
