Are any of you still watching VH1’s completely ridiculous yet highly addictive Rock of Love with Bret Michaels? Simon posted on it over a month ago, but then PopWatch let it float away into a canned-beer-infused ether, so I thought I’d check in. The show’s just about the trashiest thing going (see Heather, pictured, who just got Bret’s name drilled into her neck with a needle) but every time I see it in my DVR/life partner’s queue, I end up almost excitedly pressing play. I think I just like looking at Jes and Brandi’s pretty eyes and predicting which do-rag Bret will choose to hide his weave underneath that day. That has to be it. Really, there’s nothing else. Well, the rampant cursing is sometimes fun. You can tell they make the women do multiple takes for their confessionals and direct them, "Once more, with the C-word!"
We’re down to the final four already, and my pick for the win is the aforementioned Heather. The exotic dancer from Vegas really seems to "get it." She also has the benefit of already looking like she lives on a tour bus. And a heinous tattoo she’ll regret when if she ever sobers up. Go Heather!

LOVE this show.
I really wish there was a TV Watch for this show. I love making fun of it with my friends the comedy really is endless.
I like Jes the most…but I dont think I would want someone that nice with the big cheese ball that is Bret Michaels. He is such a dork!
Heather is completely trashy, and would be a good fit for him, but she is so smug I can’t root for her.
Go Jes!
I’ve seen enough episodes to know that I should be slightly ashamed but not enough to know any of the girls by name. Bret is a cheese ball. He’s had a face lift, right? The red head is a little disturbing. It’s pretty disgusting what these girls are putting up with to be on t.v. There’s no way they want be with him. Eww.
This show is awesomely bad, but just like any car wreck you cant look away. I have found UNBELIEVABLE recaps of this show at TVGASM.com…..super funny! Keep the weave alive!!!
My wife and I are too embarrassed to even call it by name. We just refer to it as The Trash. “Honey, the Trash comes on tonight!” Horrible, but addictive.
Please bring back the TV Watch for this show!
This is one of those shows that I can never watch with my kids and husband in the room but I can’t wait to get to when I’m alone. I was the same way with Flavor of Love and ILNY. Long live trashy TV – it does a great job of distracting me from my real life problems.
I laugh everytime Bret makes reference to his beautiful women, because Heather’s face is really kinda ugly – she looks a little like a drag queen. And what is up with the 80’s hair?? I guess that is why Bret likes her so much, reminds him of how things were in his heyday.
Eh it’s all right. I liked it a lot more before I realized that they’re keeping Lacey for ratings alone. Once She’s never had any one on one time with Bret but the show would be boring without her.
Isn’t its funny how Sam got less annoying once she realized she was going home?
Hate to sound shallow, but I liked Sam’s hair a lot better in the elimination ceremony also.
I liked it when VH1 was about music, you know ‘Behind the Music’, occasional concerts, videos etc.
This show is rot.
Jes is gorgeous. Lacey makes me want to eat glass shards. What a mean, delusional cow she is! Heather looks so much better without all the whoring up she does for the elimination “ceremony”. Brandi B looks like she goes off the deep end this coming week. I agree that Heather is the likely winner, as Jes is just too young and sweet to be with a washed up rocker like Bret (who I loved back in my AquaNet fueled teens).
i didn’t think that this bret michaels spin-off could be nearly as good as flavor of love. then i met tiffany, erin, rodeo, heather, lacey, jess, brandi m., and all the rest of the whores of that house. thank god. i’m keeping my fingers crossed for season two (and for a second season of charm school too!)
I love my name (Heather), but damn do I hate sharing it with strippers and bimbos.
However, I must say I have been watching this show. I was so sad to see Sam go. She and Jes are the only girls there worth anything. So now that she’s gone, I’m rooting for Jes. Heather is just so trashy. And she’s so plastic. It looks like someone removed her from her packaging and pumped her full of air just in time for this show.
And Bret is either an actual moron who allows himself to be taken in by Lacey’s manipulation because she’s got boobs (he seems to have a hard time focusing on much else) or the producers have him wrapped around their finger and are coaxing him to keep Lacey because she creates “drama”.
The show is awful and has no redeeming social value what-so-ever….and I LOVE IT! I wish Bret would send Lacey home, but she’s a ratings draw. Whoever said Heather looks like a drag queen is right! She reminds me of Bret in the early years of Poison in make-up.
This show is absolute reality gold. I love that Bret is seemingly so earnest about the search for ‘the one’ and in truth, isn’t he already married? Makes it all even better!
I absolutely love this show! I think Lacey is absolutely horrible after watching this show and she obviously has to still be in the running because of the drama that she creates. Regarding Heather: I still laugh when I think about what Erin said about Heather and Bret being trailer trash together when she was eliminated. Love Jes but you are all probably right, she’s too good for Bret.
My husband and I love this show (which we just call “The Skanks”). As soon as we saw that Bret is listed as one of the producers, we knew that Lacey was going to be one of the last eliminated. (But most of the women there are too stupid to figure out that Bret is just in this for the career boost — and that he’s probably already signed a contract for Season 2!)
Trash never looked so good! I am addicted to this show. Lacey the psycho vegan. Heather the stripper. Brandi the (soon to be) drunk. And then there is Jess. She is so cute & sweet, she doesn’t deserve Bret and all the diseases he carries from years on the road. Quick Jess, run as fast as you can from that house of sin!
the picture displaying with this post is NOT Heather…unless she had major plastic surgery after filming ended?
Go Jes! Heather is a trashy ho– she still dresses like a Dynasty 80s chick- GROSS. Lacey is insane– how he could find that attractive just proves how stupid and shallow he is, but I agree he probably keeps her on for ratings. Can’t wait for season 2!
I think Heather IS Brett in drag. Remeber the Patty Duke Show. I think Brett is actaully playing Heather. Anyway, why would anyone WANT Brett. He is bald, dumb and diseased. He is not looking for love. Just for $$$. My husband commented that he looked like an earthworm. We all love Jess but wonder why she would lower herself to be on this show. Perhaps a sit com or a modeling career. I think Lacey and Heather should have their own show, looking for a third drunker psycho lesbo to complete the trio.
I too am addicted to this show. It is DELICIOUS trash- definitely love Jess- but Heather is perfect for Brett. I can’t believe she got the tatoo- what a dumb move.

1) Why did Ky look so familiar? Anyone know where we might have seen her before. 2) How come the only Poison song any of these chicks seem to know is “Every Rose…” Are they ALL in their early 20s or what? You’d think the strippers at least would have danced to “Talk Dirty To Me” a time or two…
LOVE IT!!! I agree that he will likely pick Heather, she has the best big hair, must make him all nostalgic! Jes is by far my fav, but i sure hope he doesn’t pick her, she is WAY too good for him! It cracks me up every time! Don’t threaten me with a good time!
I never would have felt this way 20 years ago, but to me C.C. Deville is way hotter than Bret now. CC has aged very well IMO.
love this show! yea, it’s trashy and bad but oh so humorous and Bret really does seem like a nice guy, but that hair’s gotta go! Let it go, man. Let it go.
Lacey really looks possessed.
There is nothing attractive about Brett. Even the girls are acting. Probably the only girl who wants him is crazy Lacey. The rest are there for their own show a la the other crazy B New York. The house will need to be burned after these diseased people move out.
Rock of Love learned from the mistakes of Flavor of Love. The first incarnation of FoL was widely watched, not for Flav, but for New York. We watched every week waiting for her to be eliminated. FoL2 floundered at first because there was no New York figure…so in order to save it, they brought her back.
RoL started out from the getgo with their variation of the New York Character: Lacey. Every week we tune in to see if Brett will ever clue in that’s she’s a psycho manipulative b*tch and send her home.
On that note, the show is also supremely watchable because Brett, for all he comes off as a himbo, is savvy enough to eliminate the girls in the best possible order–just as each character runs their course, he offs them. I wonder if he’s really that smart, or if he’s just following directions?
Does it matter?
