DISQUS

bonsomme · 6 months ago

Once again, you've nailed the show.
I think you're dead-on about Cage- he was the last one left who was taking it seriously and was not a drip (Sinister is letting her walk all over him). And regarding Daisy's "I don't like violence..." statement- I honestly thought she couldn't become any more self-absorbed and hypocritical than she's been portrayed; then we find out next week's challenge is all about violence.
I have a theory about this: VH1 is trying to make Daisy look bad. Granted, she's giving them a lot to work with, but every episode has seen her portrayed as a venal boob. Moreover, the "challenges" are all half-hearted retreads of Rock of Love. It's almost like the show is a giant joke that she's not in on. All of the men on the show, including Fox and Flex, are too good for her. Flipper was too good for her.

The internet conspiracy mill is that Daisy only got the show to prevent a lawsuit re the Heather beatdown on RoL2 Reunion. It's unconfirmed of course but if it's true then your supposition makes sense. It also explains why Heather didn't go after Brittanya full throttle in RoLB.

First clue should have been her dance number in 101.

To expand on your thesis Ricky - if Flipper walks out on you is he crazy or are you crazier?

The conspiracy theory makes perfect sense. How much are they spending on this show? A few thousand an episode? How much would they potentially lose in a lawsuit? Millions?
Megan has her own show coming up- do you suppose Sharon Osborne will be listed as a "producer"? (I'm actually looking forward to Megan's show.)

I think we can all agree that when Flipper flipped out, and then walked out, it was the viewers who suffered the most.

I gotta say - when Shaz was announced as Charm School dean I was suprised. I think she was in the Paula Abdul role in the X-Factor (over here) at the time. Still, Give to Viacom what is Viacom's.

So why on earth did Flipper bail? Was he intimidated by a gang of lads of whom he realised he would never be first choice? Or was it that (like perhaps subsequent others) he saw the machinations of television and he realised he was there for The Hoya's narcissistic whims.

Do you know the viewing figures for Dol? The pressures on Dr Evil in a playboy body.

I did some digging and found her ratings for last week here:

http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/05/27/nba-playof...

They're saying about 1.1 million viewers for DOL, vs about 1.9 for Charm School 3. For some reason it's really difficult to find specific ratings for cable shows outside of the "top 20."

Here are ratings from April 12:

ROLBus 3.2 million, I Love Money 2 at 2.5.

DOL isn't pulling her weight.

Dude I think you're on to something. I know Hollywood bury movies if needs be must and Vince McMahon routinely sabotages his own product to spite errant wrestlers faces.

The DoL numbers are abysmal! But so is the show. Vh1 knew that before they broadcasted it. Perhaps their hands really are legally tied - but that doesn't stop 'em from giving dumbass Daisy the finger.

"A giant joke that she's not in on."

The good news is they've probably put the effort in with Megan.

The skunk was the most exciting part of this episode. That should say something about this show. I say you jump ship and start recapping Charm School. It's actually pretty interesting this season so far.

AJaye2009 · 6 months ago

I have been tempted Lex. DoL is so awful the fleas left before the rats did. Problem is I get CS a week behind you guys. Nothing like an out of date post. Aside from a past sell-by-date stripper.

Ashley's been quiet. ish.

All of these guys quitting the show within the last 4 or 5 episodes....does Daisy have feminine hygenic issues or something? Never in the history of reality shows have I seen so many men leave the show abruptly.

AJaye2009 · 6 months ago

I can comfirm that she does have intellectual issues. Chelsea Handler brought the same subject up. You wanna see The Hoya repose?

Am addicted to Daisy of Love. Can't believe I watch those people with their egos, but since Rock of Love, I've kind of felt sorry for Daisy.

AJaye2009 · 6 months ago

Don't feel too sorry for her Travelling Cat. This chick 'deplores violence' and tomorrow will be egging on her boys to fight over her in a cage.

You're not going to buy 'Pretty Messed Up' are ya?
