Rock of Love 2 is so sad I can barely force myself to watch it anymore.
I fell asleep during both broadcasts of the latest episode last night, so here I am in front of the TV for a third time, trying to wrap my brain around it.
For those of you who are just joining us, a dwindling group of scantily clad women is competing on national television for the affections of a has-been rock musician. Every week, the show's producers come up with fresh ideas for competitions to humiliate the women.
This episode's victorious duo entertained vets by reciting the Preamble to the Constitution while wiggling inside hula-hoops. Of course, they wore bikinis. To start their act, they gave each other a good slap on the rump with American flags. Now, that's taking patriotism to a new level.
Because women serve in the US military, the audience did contain a good number of females, some of whom laughed self-consciously. Others just looked horrified.
Afterwards, Bret, who has moved beyond covering his fat head with a bandana and now wears a hat on top of a bandana, sat down for dinner with his Ladies of Low Self-Esteem. He threw out a question: "In your opinion, which of the other girls is here for the wrong reason." Not wanting to betray another contestant, a couple of LSEs skirted the question.
Bret got angry. He demanded answers.
He maintained that he had to know who was in it for real (uh, like he's even in it for real), but clearly the guy was pushing for a fight.
Eventually, Ambre pointed her finger at Kristy Joe. Curses flew. Bret threw his napkin down and left the table. Later in the show, he claimed to be "physically and emotionally exhausted."
What a cretin.
I'm waiting for these women to smarten up and tell this guy to take a flying leap. Now there would be a drama I could stay awake to watch.

It is really sick that this show is still on. If Brett Michaels were a real man he would put a stop to this insult to women. It's sad that there are so many women willing to stoop to this level. Seriously, do any of them really want a "man" who has his tongue in everyone else's mouth - not to mention bedding all of them. It's just gross. I have watched a couple of episodes with my teenage daughter and it certainly opens up discussion as to what is appropriate, demeaning etc in the world of dating.
You're absolutely right.
The one thing Rock of Love has to offer is food for a good conversation about dating with a daughter -- or a son!
Thanks for writing.
