OCD Breakdown: I <3 Rock of Love

Rock of Love has to be one of the best shows going right now. I like to say that my range of interests runs the gamut when it comes to television. But that's just another way of justifying the fact that I like garbage. I can call a spade a spade.

Rock of Love fanatics, please place your vote for the girl that you think will win in the poll below. My pick is Ambre (explained below).


If you want to disagree with me about Rock of Love, let me try to sway you with my reasoning. The show has the right "mix" with a solid main character, scantily clad women, easy-to-follow while ridiculous storyline, and a healthy dose of intoxication. Let me break it down:

Bret Michaels is awesome
As he appears on the show, Bret Michaels is like any guy who had a ridiculous amount of coming at him. He rolls with it, but he's even surprised with some of the affection that the women show him -- or he's an excellent actor. His gratuitous use of "hey-yo!" is also comical. I just enjoy the fact the Bret Michaels acts the same as any normal guy would if he were in the same situation. Like any other reasonable person, I assumed Bret Michaels was a douchebag based purely on appearance. But when I read the Bret Michaels Playboy.com Dirty Dozen Interview (this was before Rock of Love), I couldn't help but like the guy. The best quote is about the most orgasms he's had in one day: "It was eight, with my current girlfriend. It would be nine because I also masturbated once in there as well."

Megan Hauserman is my friend
Yeah, that's not true. We have worked together for two different events though. I think she's actually really funny on the show. She flashed some of the same smart-assed nature at CollegeFest last September. I was sitting next to her and we were bullshitting with each other. I can't even remember what I was saying to her at the time, but she interrupted me, looked me straight in the eyes, and said, "Are you hitting on me?" I'm pretty sure I wasn't -- at least not overtly. I was so shocked, I think I just walked away. I can't even remember at this point. If only I had known that wearing eye makeup, a bandanna, and a cowboy hat was the key to her heart.

Girl drama to the max
The most memorable moment so far was Aubry's hilarious exit from the show. For those of you who didn't catch that (video below), here's the rundown. She figured it would be her or Kristy Joe eliminated, decided Kristy Joe deserved it more, and then "sacrificed herself" by leaving the show. Shortly after her speech about giving the "greatest gift" to Kristy Joe, Bret revealed that she was going to be eliminated anyway.



I think Ambre will win because she's the all-around best. She's attractive, reasonably intelligent, and athletic. I think she has enough juice to win. Unfortunately, Bret cut the two oldest women -- leaving Ambre as the oldest (I think). I thought he might keep one of them around until the end for age-related drama, but decided to cut the cord. How the hell is Inna still around? Also, I think Daisy is going to be built up again (a-la her date with Bret a while back) and then eliminated. Yes, I think about Rock of Love this much. I am a truly pathetic individual.
