REALITY TV CIRCUS

Frenchie, or Angelique was finally sent home on I Love Money 2, marking the second time in as many seasons that the weakest overall player lasted until the last elimination before the finale.

Last season it was Destiney; this year it was Angelique. But the surprise of this episode and perhaps the season is that It has been acting like an idiot all season and he’s actually not as stupid as he seems.

Everybody underestimated this guy, even during I Love New York 2 and now they’re all gonna pay. Rather, It will win the $250,000 grand prize and make everyone look stupid for thinking otherwise.

But nobody said that people playing this game are entirely smart. Look at Prancer, who actually told It he was the weakest player in the house during elimination, so she would keep him around and get rid of Angelique.

And Prancer saved Saaphyri too, which was also dumb because Saaphyri has actually won one of these game shows, that being Charm School. So look for Prancer to be the next to go, guaranteed.

See you next week at the finale, when It will be crowned the champion. Heh.

Daisy Of Love premiered on VH1 last night and it was obvious from the get-go that Daisy is a wannabe pop star, coming out a la Britney with choreography and backup dancers.

OK, OK…what is THAT all about? I thought Daisy was a rocker chick. Hmmm…Anyway, the 20 guys waiting to try to woo her were impressed.

With names like Big Rig, Brooklyn, 12 Pack (what?) and 84, 85, and 86 (you know, the years when hair like theirs was still cool) we were in for an entertaining evening of reality TV.

But after a little meet-and-greet, we saw the first casualties of war, two dudes passed out on the floor. Daisy was pissed, saying she was the only rockstar in the house who could do that.

And then after the meet and greet, Daisy wasted little time getting down to business, as she unceremoniously booted the three Swedish triplets (middle photo) because she couldn’t see herself making out with three brothers. I believe the word she used was “Eww.”

Then the host, Riki, from Rock Of Love Bus Reunion, told the Swedes they could have all the free food they wanted, since it was obvious they needed it. But WTF was with them dipping their raw hot dogs in salsa?

Then at the elimination ceremony she kicked out a guy named Dropout and extinguished the flame of Torch, a Canadian rocker who didn’t talk much, instead he made dolphin sounds. Awesome.

So now there are only 15 guys in the house, including VH1 veteran 12 Pack (bottom photo), who says he’s not gay, despite rumors to the contrary. Should be an interesting show, with raging hormones and lots of testosterone.

Now that Ice has been eliminated and only six contestants remain in the hunt to win the $250,000 grand prize, some things have changed.

First, there are no alliances; there are only players in the game. That makes it interesting because now that Tailor Made is without his alliance, everyone seems to be gunning for him.

In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Tailor is the next to go. Saaphyri looks strong as ever and Angelique has stayed in the game longer than expected, drawing comparisons to Demi Moore’s cousin Destiney, who was in the original game last season.

But here’s a name who probably didn’t expect to hear: It. It has been, week in and week out, shrewd enough to stay in the competition by playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played, using his street smarts to keep friends in both alliances.

That strategy has allowed him to manipulate both alliances, and therefore the strongest people still competing.

If there were one other person who might be going home this week, it would be Prancer. She’s made too many enemies already and so they’re gunning for her too.

Cocktail was declared the winner on For The Love Of Ray-J at a rooftop elimination ceremony at the Palms in Las Vegas. She was there with Unique, who made it as a finalist but was not chosen.

Also not chosen was Danger, who Ray actually eliminated first because he was afraid for his safety. Uh, yeah, I could have told him that weeks or even months ago!

Danger is so crazy that she would have chopped his thing off and kept it in a jar above her living room mantle. I can’t wait for the reunion, because they had better have extra security for that show.

Anyway, Ray went to Unique’s parents house in Cleveland, but Ray was uncomfortable there and got the cold shoulder from Unique’s mom.

Then he went to Cocktail’s parents home in Sacramento and the atmosphere there was decidedly different, appearing to be more of a fiesta, with shots of tequila being passed and lots of laughter.

I think at that point it was obvious who Ray was choosing, even though he didn’t like Cocktail speaking in Spanish to her mom (who didn’t speak English, BTW), because he couldn’t understand.

So then the three (Ray, Unique and Cocktail) jetted off to Vegas for the elimination ceremony. But first Ray had a short date with Unique that was more drama than substance. Her goose was cooked.

But when Ray picked up Cocktail and took her on a date, the scene was much more romantic. After the dinner the two went to Ray’s suite and it basically looked like a strip joint, with a pole in the shower and costumes, uh, outfits strewn across the bed.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know what happened next, because the two got freaky and then you knew it was on and that Ray would pick Cocktail. Because if he hadn’t, I believe Cocktail would have cut his junk off, too, since he made a fool of her on national TV and used her.

So, Ray made the right choice. Do I think this love will last? Yeah, about as long as there is time between now and the reunion show.

In an move that is perhaps unheard of, Bret Michaels is still reportedly with Taya, the girl he picked and made his Rock of Love. Wow. Didn’t see that one coming.

I thought for sure that he and Taya would already be over, but maybe there is some truth to the rumor that they actually do like each other, although Bret lives in Phoenix and Taya is in Cleveland. Both have kids, both are into rock ‘n roll and both are genuinely good people, something not easy to find in Hollywood.

So let the wagers fly as these two, as you can see in the post-wrap photos from the reunion show here, are nice and cozy. But both say they’re putting plans of a relationship on hold at the moment. That’s kinda weird, don’t you think?

This is it, the moment you all have been waiting for. Everyone has their favorite…and so do I.

Now it’s time to see who Ray-J chooses. I think everyone is gonna be surprised by his decision, most of all his parents.

But let’s face it; this is a guy who has a checkered past, a sex tape, and crazy friends like Tom Green, so you know he’s seen some things in his life.

All that aside, I think he’s going with Danger. I know the popular choice is Unique, but hear me out. Even Ray has said, much to his parents’ chagrin, that he gets along with Danger best.

Unique is a magnet for controversy, something Ray can’t seem to get enough of. But she may be too goody-goody for Ray’s devilish ways.

And Cocktail? The fact she actually accepted a sushi date proposal from Tom Green…if she doesn’t win…should tell you everything you need to know. If that doesn’t compute, then realize she was on Bad Girls Club.

So that’s my pick and I’m sticking to it: Danger, the craziest one of them all, with all of her drama, her face tattoo and bubblicious booty. We all know how Ray-J likes his booty.

Well, one of the most anticipated reality TV shows in recent history got off the ground on its paws last night, as The Cougar, starring Stacey, a 40-year-old real estate broker from Arizona (above photo), attempted to woo younger men.

This show’s premise has already caused an uproar, getting as much publicity as Tila Tequila did when her historic show debuted on MTV several years ago.

The Cougar wasted precious little time kicking five cubs out of her lair. In fact, the maddening thing about this show is that Stacey doesn’t even say anything during the elimination.

If a man walks up to her and she turns her cheek, it means time’s up. However, if she lets you kiss her on the lips, you still have a shot seducing somebody old enough to be your mother.

And Travis, a 21-year-old from California (middle photo), was the first person saved from elimination. That’t interesting, consdering he’s also the youngest contestant in the house.

And yes, for those of you at home counting, he would be 19 years younger. Kepp in mind that The Cougar has kids as old as this guy. Creepy? Yeah, it might be.

Couple that with the immaturity of the men in the game and the fact the Cougar is dead set on finding the right man, and what you have, is a recipe for entertainment. The kind you haven’t seen before.

Tomorrow we’ll break down the remaining 15 contestants (bottom photo) and their hometowns so that you can have a first-hand look at the guys making this show what it is.

Leave it to Stasha, the biggest ball-buster/Serbian ice skater/Playmate of all on the show Tough Love to be the first to find a man. Surprised? So was I. But that’s the way things go sometimes.

And she’s happy, so Steve’s work–even though he hardly did anything–is done here and she was able to leave the house of horrors.

Meanwhile, there are still women left in the house, namely Arian (bottom photo), who can’t seem to not throw sexual innuendo into any conversation, or suggestive comments like the one above. It’s kinda like riding a bike; once you do it you do it all the time, right?

Anyway, there have been some other developments. One is that Taylor is still a gold-digger but Steve is totally on to her game and is now setting her up with nice guys with no money on purpose. Hilarious.

Taylor is so desperate to find a sugar daddy that she even tried to hook up with the host of the party last week, only to find that he wasn’t rich; he was a paid actor. LOL

Wow, nothing about this show will ever surprise me. What do you think of the show Tough Love? And stay tuned…We’ll start covering “The Cougar,” which is a MILF version of “The Bachelor,” starting tomorr-rrow! Roar!!

Mito Rodriguez won the second season of the hit reality TV show From G’s to Gents on MTV. Mito was the ex-con who spent two years in a penetentiary and he says he’ll use the $100,000 grand prize to expunge his criminal record so that he can be a plumber again.

But the other finalist, Blue, the homeless gangster from L.A. also was granted membership to the Gentlemen’s Club and Mr. Bentley arranged to give Blue free housing for one year.

Pretty touching stuff, if you ask me. And I really think the two most deserving people got memberships. Teddy has that checkered past as a pimp and his girl was obviously only into him for his money.

And the final three were Mito, Blue and Teddy, but I think Mr. Bentley made a huge mistake by choosing Teddy over Baron in the first place.

Mr. Bentley also brought back Creepa and Shotta to help the three G’s decide which of the final three would be denied membership. Shotta also got granted membership to the Gentleman’s Club for his work after the show wrapped.

After Teddy was eliminated from the final three, Mr. Bentley flew Blue–who had never been in a plane before–on his private jet to Palm Springs for a lunch.

After the lunch the two headed back to L.A. to prepare their speeches, both of which were good and touching. It was hard to choose between the two, who were good friends and who had been through so much.

So it was fitting to see that Mr. Bentley recognized the efforts of both individuals and gave them memberships. What do you think?
