It's like a train wreck, I can't help but watch Flavor of Love on VH1. Flavor Flav is an aging rapper who used to have a lot more street cred when he was talking about being a "Cop Killer" with hardcore 80's group Public Enemy. Nowadays, he's become fodder for VH1's so-called Celebreality programming. Viewers were introduced to Flav on The Surreal Life, and his Brigitte Nielson-chasing antics got him his own show called Strange Love. When he eventually lost Brigitte to her fiance, he got another show with VH1 that opened with 20 hopeful girls, wanting to hook up with our man, Flav.

Now whether they wanted him for his money or his heart, that remains to be seen. Most of the girls he got rid of right off the bat. We were introduced to some real doozies, particularly Hottie (and I loved the cha-ching audio they played every time she blinked) and New York (who seriously is nuts the way she talks about Flavor Flav.) Along the way there was back stabbing, bitching, and whoring it up, trying to hook up with Flavor Flav. On the most recent episode, we even got to see hair-pulling and face-spitting. Right on Pumkin!

I have to wonder, does Flav really think he's going to meet the woman of his dreams on a reality show? And are these girls seriously considering hooking up with a guy who already has 10+ kids with multiple women? He's not a catch by most standards, and I'm not talking his looks. If he had an online profile and we didn't know what his name was, most girls would delete/block/ban him. They'd take one look at his numerous kids and lack of involvement in their lives and realize what kind of potential he really had.

Seems to me like we're so hooked on bling and money, that anyone with money, anyone, and anyone with 15 minutes of fame, be it the first or second time around, suddenly is considered the bomb. When Flav kicked Pumkin off the show for being on prior reality shows, I felt like he had a lot of nerve. He'd already had 2 reality shows to his name. Good luck Flav, and good luck girls. Y'all are looking in the wrong place if you're looking for true love.
