Quarterfinals, Relationships: Rock of Love vs. Momma’s Boys
Rock of Love
Each season is an epic battle among some of the greatest skanks in all the land. Which one can not only hold her liquor the longest, but pretend the hardest that she’s in love with Bret Michaels, the lead singer of the band Poison? Bret Michaels has diabetes. It’s a pretty big part of the show. How can you not love that? Also alluring: One of the series’ most memorable ”challenges” was the Stroller Derby, in which the contestants wheeled baby dolls around a death rink while attempting to win a race and possibly off each other. This was supposed to prove that they’d be great moms. Come on, this show is historic. – Annie Barrett
Momma’s Boys
Just in time for the holidays last year, NBC graced us with Momma’s Boys, a show that became a horrific addiction for many. What kept us watching? Hard to know if it was Mrs. “I’m not racist” B damn near jumping out of the helicopter when she saw JoJo in a hot tub with Misty, a black woman; Lorraine, who wanted Michael to choose Erica, the Penthouse Pet of the Year (he didn’t); or Esther, who sunk her claws so deep into her son Rob, that he ended up choosing Lauren, the Jewish girl to please her (they didn’t last). The sick feeling that the moms secretly wanted to bed their own son has slowly faded, but the ick factor remains. – Marc Vera

Rock of Love is far superior! How can you go wrong with strippers and projectile vomiting? You had evil Lacey backstabbing everyone, Daisy with the impossibly giant lips, and ex-porn actress “Brittany Star” stealing smelly socks! Such a hot mess!
Daisy looks like Janice the muppet, or like Jar Jar Binks with pinkeye.
rock of love was so trashy it was good. the girls were so classless and brett was so cheesy..
Rock of Love!!! So so so bad. Just terrible, but irresistable.
Rock of Love. Momma’s Boys is trashy, but Rock of Love is forever
Rock of Love wins, but whew Momma’s Boys was a train wreck too! I kinda wish they weren’t against each other so early in the competition. Can’t believe I just typed that!
No competition here – Rock of Love.
how can you not love rock of love. bret is so hot. if i had a chance to be on rock of love i would be happy.
Rock of love is my pick to win the whole thing.
are you people for real mommas boys hands down just like my antonio for all the hunky stud man meat
Rock of Love because it is the only dating show in which the bachelor suggests that if the two finalists are going to fight they should have the courtesy to rub butter on their breasts before hand. Now that is class.
Rock of Love because I never saw the other one (just parts), and there is no pretense, and there are no victims. Fun fun fun for all
Phish can’t win this one
Momma’s Boys? Never heard of it. And that’s why I voted for it.
I liked Rock of Love’s first season, but, seriously… the show was and forever will be dreadful! Brett Michaels… just… just give up. How this show could be “pleasureable”, guilty or not, is beyond me.
never heard of momma boys, but watch all 3 seasons of rock of love and that show is crazy and awesome.
Rock of Love, all the way.
Bret Michaels hunting for some whore to train as his own personal insulin slinging nurse – you simply CANNOT compete with that!
Rock of Love, WOW love that Brett Michaels!! Who can not watch. And not all the ladies were trashy.
