I absolutely detest this ongoing trend of so-called reality television programs. It's almost becoming a prerequisite to be involved in this sort of crap. What's next - Rob Halford hosts the next reality show - 'Coming Out With The Stars'....?

This decline of Western civilization??? THIS REALLY IS IT...the last nail in the plastic coffin.

Bah.

Cops. That is reality TV. I wish this reality phase would go away. I miss when sitcoms were on TV: Married with Children, Seinfeld, etc. I don't even watch network TV when it is not Football season.

Let me guess, the controversial reunion episode will show that they aren't together anymore and will announce a third season of this shit, so BM can find his rock of love. I think for the third season, half of the woMEN should be transvestites. That way they could incorporate the rest of Poison and even Ritchie Kotzen into the show. Also Bret's only true rock of love is his awesome wig and bandana.

Trend?

Reality tv has been around since Cops and the "Real World" in the early 90's. I think it has outllived the "trend' status.

Remember - even heavy metal at one point in its history was deemed a mere "trend".

My cousin came in from New York that night, and she wanted to watch it. I told her there wasn't a chance in hell she was going to watch that brain killing show over HBO's "John Adams."

She went to her hotel to watch it, lol.

I translated Micheal Schenker's autobiography into German for a language course I'm taking that night. It was actually more interesting than watching "Rock Of Love".

and he picked the wrong one. Daisy was hot as fuck, a model type and was a cool rocker chick. Albeit a little dumb, but who are we kidding, all girls are dumb.

Amber had no tits, wasn't even that hot and was older than dirt?!!?

What the fuck was he thinking?? fuck it man grab the young hottie while you still can!!! "I get older, they stay the same age".

Yea I watched it, I got hooked for some reason. Rip on me all you want.

It's called sports! I got the MLB package so I watch the reality of baseball nightly (Go Cubs). I also have the College GamePlan to catch my Alabama Crimson Tide during the fall, along with the Tennessee Titans on NFL Sunday Ticket. I have to admit I'm a total reality junkie. I'll also be partaking in a reality playoff hockey match tonight while I sit ice side for the Predators and Red Wings game. Yes it's true, I love reality television. \,,/

I can't stand Poison, but I found the show highly entertaining. My wife & I found ourselves tuning in every show. It's like watching a car wreck: It's horrific, yet you can't turn away.

Everybody needs a guilty pleasure! At least BM (heh heh, i said BM) came clean about the wig!!
