Flava Flaaaav!!!!

Flavor of Love:3

Is it really for love? At first during season 1 I thought Flav was sincere in his quest for love, but as we rolled on through season 2&3 I began to have my doubts. After season 1 I think Flav was crushed that Hoops played him really shady and from that point on I think it became about the money..and who can blame him. What man wouldn't go on TV and get PAID to date multiple women at one time?? So Flav I ain't mad at cha...

as for the women...it's definitely becoming all about exposure. As a casting director, I can say 1st hand that several of the woman on the show had been aspiring actors and models...There are a few in which I personally had the opportunity to work with over the years in indie films and music videos. Some have truly used that national spot to their advantage...and I ain't mad at them either.

As a matter of fact, I applaud reality tv, VH1 and the platform that gives these girls a chance to get some national exposure and possibly jump start new careers.

My absolute favorite is Deelishis...don't trip, I know there's been some extremely sexy pics of her floating around the net, but she's no dummy and has capitalized on every moment. This girl is college educated and a single mom. She had a regular 9-5 (I believe at an insurance co.?) before going on the show....and now my girl D has her own line of jeans, her own radio show in Detroit, she's paid for appearances and to party, she's been on the cover and inside of several magazines and she's working on a music career. Now considering that I believe she was one of the few girls who sincerely was on the show to date Flav, I don't think that's bad at all. Yeah in case you hadn't heard, this time he played her after the show. Check out her myspace blog for the truth. www.myspace.com/londoncharles

I even like New York, Yup crazy a** New York. She ain't too crazy...This is another one, who's educated believe it or not. I think we all can agree that she really wanted Flav too!! She loved him for real. But after all the drama and humiliation, this girl became a household name and ended up with her own show for 2 seasons and she's working on another one, New York goes to Hollywood.....and you better believe she's laughing straight to the bank!!!

Even Safari, who was eliminated early on in Season 2, used her 5 mins of fame to her advantage...She went on to win the reality show, Charm School, and pocketed the grand prize of $50 G's. Then she launched a hair line and a line of "lip chap". Not bad for a girl who was almost homeless. http://www.myspace.com/saaphyri and http://www.saaphyri.com/
