No Daisy Of Love 2.... for now

VH1 recently made an update on what's been going on with Daisy & London & believe it or not, they are still rockin! Read below

There wasn’t a Daisy of Love reunion, but at least we have Twitter to keep up with the quite possibly still-on romance between Daisy and London. The above shot was posted on Daisy’s Twitter during a recent trip to New York (where London lives), and she also Tweeted about seeing his band, the Party Death. Also, it would appear that he he still holds a place in her heart (or at least in her less-than symbol and 3 key)…

NEW POLL: Do You Think I Love Money 3 will leak?

Just rencently VH1 announced that I Love Money 3 is cancelled, but do you think it will leak on the internet perhaps youtube in the near future? That is the poll of the month for September.


Vote now!

Who is the mystery woman?

UPDATE: Paulina's agent tells us "There's no way it can be her because on Friday she was doing a fashion show and Saturday she was filming a cooking show." The agent added, "She's grieving the loss of someone she used to love."

UPDATE: The RCMP just completed a press conference and while they say they have identified the mystery woman, they are not revealing her identity. They do not feel she is a public threat nor are they appealing for her to come forward. The RCMP also says she could only be charged as an accessory after the fact to crimes committed in Canada -- not to the murder for which Jenkins was wanted.

UPDATE: Cops are saying despite the manager's claim, Paulina is not the woman they are looking for.

The woman who helped Ryan Jenkins run from authorities was his former fiancee, according to the manager of the motel where he committed suicide.

We showed the manager, Kevin Walker, photos of Paulina Chmielecka, who was in a 3-year relationship with Jenkins until earlier this year -- he says he's "100% sure" the woman who drove Jenkins to the Thunderbird Motel and paid for the room was Paulina.

Ryan and Paulina were engaged, until he called it off several months ago. Friends of the former couple tell us she was very much in love with him, though she moved on to another relationship.

Top 15 Reality Television Cliches!

Fortune Tellers

On I Love New York 2, Rock of Love 2, Real Chance of Love 2, and Daisy of Love, a fortune teller was brought in to test the chemistry in a relationship.

Girl/Guy who cooks for them.

On I Love New York, Mr. Boston would always cook for New York. On Real Chance of Love 1 and 2, girls like Milf and Apple cooked for them.

The Villain

The Villain is no surprise to this cliché list. Every show has a villain. Ranging from Ashley to Lacey to New York, there is always one of them on each show.

Wrestling Challenges

Everyone has a wrestling challenge, whether it’s staged wrestling like on Real Chance of Love, or actual wrestling like Daisy and New York had the boys do for an episode, it’s always a good thing to watch.

Cooking Challenges

The Cooking Challenges are personally my favorite challenges because it is so funny to watch people cook food who’ve never cooked it before. It all started with Flavor of Love, where Hottie microwaved the chicken, and made it’s way up to Daisy of Love. By the time we got to Daisy of Love, I think everyone was finally prepared for the cooking challenge. That’s probably why everyone did great.

Music Challenges

For some reason, Vh1 shows like to have talentless people sing for challenges. I don’t know how singing will help someone find love, but it’s been on every show except I Love New York, Flavor of Love, and Megan Wants a Millionaire. Ray J had the girls sing a little old style music, while Daisy had the boys sing bedtime songs. I personally thought Bret Michael’s challenge was the best when he had the girls pair up in two’s and then sing.

Gift Challenges

This is the most materialistic challenge yet. Let’s face it. These people want gifts more than love, or well at least Megan did on Megan Wants a Millonaire where she asked for gifts from the guys. But on For The Love of Ray J, he didn’t want a materialistic gift, he wanted a gift that reflected each of the girls’ personalities.

Girl/Guy who becomes the outcast.

Every show has a person who tries to play the victim role. I don’t want to write a long one about this topic because it’s annoying when they try to act like no one likes them. Milf, Blonde Baller, and Leilene, I would say are the most common.

Nicknames

Nicknames are a he part of Vh1 reality shows, except Rock of Love and My Antonio. IT represents the competitor’s character and personality, but it also gives us a chance to call someone a stupid name like “Thing 1” or Pumkin” or even “Junk.” If I walked up to a girl in real life and said, “Hey Junk.” she’d probably punch me in the face lol.

Brothers/Sisters

Brothers/Sisters like to go on shows together for some reason. I guess so they someone to comfort them when they’re sad. Whether they’re twins like Thing 1 and Thing 2, triplets like ’84, ’85 and ’86, or just plain brothers like Real and Chance, it’s always funny to see them compete against each other.

Singers

For some reason, a lot of the Vh1 stars that have their own show are singers. Let’s think about it. Bret Michaels is a singer. Ray J is a singer. The Stallionaires are singers. Flavor Flav and Daisy…are bad, but they’re still singers.

Best Friends

People think they come on these shows to find love, but then they find a best friend in another contestant. For example, let’s look at the list of best friends we have: Taya and Mindy, Chi Chi and Sinister, Ashley and Farrah, Tailor Made and It, Prancer and Cali, etc.

Dancing Challenges

Sometimes the dancing challenges can be sexual like on Flavor of Love, it can also be frightening like when New York had the men dance in only their underwear for a beauty contest one episode.

Meet The Family

About the 2^nd to last episode, it’s time to go visit the family. Sometimes it goes great, but a lot of the time it isn’t. Like when Flavor Flav met Sister Patterson and when Bret met Lacey’s parents, it was very awkward. Not only is the visiting of parents common among reality television shows; it is also common for the parents to be on the shows. For example, Sister Patterson, Flavor Flav’s mom, Ray J’s mom, etc. have all been there to help their children with their shows and make sure they made the right choice.

The “I’m not here to make friends” person

I wanted to pick the best category to end it on and I think this video says it all. Click here and here. Those two videos include Kelsey, Chi Chi, 12 Pack, New York, Hottie, Red Oyster, Unique, Chardonnay, Danger, Lacey, etc. At the end of the second video, there's a funny video of Megan.
