I believe a standard episode involves Brett spending time with the girls, both one on one and in groups, probably having some sort of competition (When I saw the season premier, he was having girls model for him while he photographed them - so while it's not so much of a standard "First place second place etc" kind of thing, more of a "Let's see who puts out the most effort, who's willing to show more skin right off the bat, etc). Then at the end of each show, at least one or some (depending how far along they are) of the girls get sent home, which is all Brett's choice. (Also going along with that; he also made it seem like he sent four girls home within minutes of meeting them on the premier, but it turned out he chose them as his "V.I.P's", but I don't know how far that got taken/what else happened with that). And yes, the prize for winning the whole thing is to "date"* Brett. It seems there's been a recent surge of these types of reality shows lately, also involving Flava Flav (I belive "Flava of Love") and myspace celebrity Tila Tequila (Shot of Love starring Tila Tequila).<BR/><BR/>*I say "date", because the supposed premise is that Brett (or whomever the star of the particular dating show) is that amongst all their success, the star is still lonely, and has decided to have a reality competition show to find their true love, and that they will get together with the winner. However, apparently there was controversy with the Tila Tequila series (same deal, with notable changes being that Tila Tequila claims to be bi-sexual, so the contestants involved both men and women, which added to the competitive nature, plus there were definitely explicit "competitions", in which if you won you would be ensured that you wouldn't be voted off by Tila that week, and/or you'd get a short "date" with Tila alone), in which after one of the guys won, he made a big stink because apparently she pretty much never talked to him again afterwards (because obviously, if Tila or whomever else finds their special someone, it eliminates the chance of another season).<BR/><BR/>And I'm fairly sure that in the case of Rock of Love, all the women were either teenagers in the 80's/at the hight of Poison's popularity, or are "rock chicks" who are his age, which I don't actually know. But that's the general idea behind the show, another similar one I forgot to mention was "I Love New York", which is actually a SPIN OFF of Flava of Love, New York being the name of one of the more notable contestants, who they gave her OWN reality dating competition show.<BR/><BR/>Why I know any of this, I have no idea. - JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774131.post-89878559340395083772008-03-13T07:49:00.000-04:002008-03-13T07:49:00.000-04:00I'm pretty sure I don't.

I remember Poison and Bret Michaels quite well from the 80s, and still enjoy their music now. Bret has much good solo stuff that is out as well.<BR/><BR/>I like ROL2. It's like watching a really great train wreck unfold at times.<BR/><BR/>I've blogged about it's popularity as well: http://imdowntown.blogspot.com<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206732452961715943noreply@blogger.com
