Question - What's got more drama and butt-whupping than an episode of "Jerry Springer"? Why the Flavor of Love 2 Reunion, of course! We've recapped it here for you!
I must admit, y'all. I was waiting for this reunion special. I had heard some rumors about it...like Bootz talking 'bout an altercation with New York and the fact that they were gonna let Krazy sing. However, like all good train wrecks, you've just gotta see it for yourself.
I flipped on Vh-1 at five minutes to 7. I'm in Austin, so I'm on Central time. With Daylight Savings taking place early Sunday morning, I was a bit confused, but I was NOT gonna miss this episode. Not on your life!
I was a bit disappointed. Lala was again our ring leader for the circus. She looked lovely, of course. (Did you hear that the Lala is preggers with her first child. Yup! She and fiancee Carmelo Anthony are expecting their baby in March 2007. Congrats, girl!)
We immediately started talking to people I didn't care much about. So what if Sapphyrie (which is pronounced Sah-fah-reeee...and I thought it was a perversion of sapphire. Someone shoot me for being an idiot, but the woman was on the show for all of a minute, right?) Well, she and H-town, who were among the ladies that got new weaves and dye jobs for the episode, got on the leopard-print couch to discuss their argument. H-town said she was embarrassed for acting the way she did on TV, but she was pretty sure Sapphyrie always acted that way.
Hehe!
Sapphyrie replied that she wasn't gonna hate on H-town right now 'cuz, well, she went to Anger Management classes and has a certificate. My husband shot his drink out his nose. It was classic grade-school fun. I realize that I'm sort of sad that they knocked Sapphyrie out so quickly in the season, especially before New York showed up.
Now, Goldie from Season 1 comes out. She's got a complete skank-over. I thought the woman was a minister or something. I love Goldie's persona, but really thought she looked better before she sleazed up. I guess Goldie got to guest on the show 'cuz she's doing commentary on the V-Spot. Vh-1 obviously takes care of its own.
She said she liked Season Two although it was very different from her season. Um, Goldie! Not really! Of course, no one shat on the floor in your season. Which reminds us...Goldie asks Sumthin' how she's doin' and dances around the subject of what she did on Flav's floor. Sumthin' is not afraid to go there and tells us that people now know that "sh*t happens"! True, but not usually on the floor!
Goldie tells her that maybe next time she should wear some underpants. As if...
Goldie also talked to Krazy and asked her why she thought New York was her friend. Thank you, Goldie. Krazy says something like "I just wanted to believe there was some good in everyone." Dum-dah-dum! They're demonizing New York already. Let me get out my crystal ball. Will she come out later, and will there be drama? Hmmm? I wonder.
Then Goldie suggests we watch the girls booty dance. Oh please! I've had enough nightmares about Like Dat, Bootz, Buckwild and Buckeey's butts to last me a lifetime. These ladies would never make it on any reality TV dancing show. Please! Stop the madness! No!
Commercial break! Yeah! I'm actually looking forward to these. You know it's a bad sign when you look forward to watching commercials. I've gotta say this reunion is whack, yo!
Flav comes out with Big Rick. Flav's got some nice braids in his hair. He looks happy and plugs his first solo effort which is due out on Halloween, y'all! Pick it up! Then, he shows a video segment which features the gals from "Flavor of Love". Oh man! My eyes can't handle so much skankiness at once. Want - this - to - end! Help - me!
After the video montage, Lala tells Flav that the girls can question him. Buckwild comes up and says, did you tell me to f*ck off! He's like no. Let's roll the clip. He doesn't at all. He just tells Buckwild, "where the f*ck did your accent go?" She then tries to say it went out the window 'cuz she was mad. Please, Buckwild. You so fake. You still funny, but you so fake.
Krazy saunters up to discuss her singing career. Lala asks her to sing, which she gladly does. As Beautuful and some of the other girls pointed out, she was just there for her career, a charge she finally admits to. Duh!
I must say she can't sing all that well. Deelishis has a much better voice! My husband again started laughing. I told him to put the Sprite away until the episode was over. I was afraid he'd choke.
Lala reminds us that Flav rejected New York a second time which brings a great big cheer from the girls. I guess they hate her. Big shocker, right? Deelishis comes out. She looks demure in a pretty pale blue dress. She's visibly shaking and hugs her man. They really look sweet and it looks like the real thing to me. I hope it is!
They seem like a nice couple and admit that it's been hard not being able to see each other for four months after the whole Belize thing. That sucks! A new relationship is hard enough to maintain, but not being able to see each other for a few months after the fact makes it near impossible to grow.
However, they seem to be doing ok!
Lala mentions that the girls seem happy that Dee won. Nibblz, who had a great makeover and is bangin' as a blonde, said that it 'wasn't about the fact that New York didn't win. It was that Dee is a good woman with a great butt.' Bet Nibblz, an admitted bisexual, wouldn't mind climbing on that, huh!
Deelishis, for her part, mentions that she's glad that Flav showed her he was real by picking her and not New York. She was relieved to find that he was the man she thought he was.
We're discussing New York more and more now. It's almost time to bring her out, isn't it?
To get the girls sufficiently riled up, Vh-1 introduces a montage of New York's cattiest comments about each of them. She calls Nibblz 'dirty' and makes insults about Dee's mom and Dee's mustache and everything. Most of the girls look very upset. When New York walks out, she acts like the Queen Bee.
A shoe whizzes by Lala's and New York's heads. Lala gets mad and tells Buckwild to cool it. I'd have loved to see the shoe get stuck in New York's weave. Now that would've made watching this episode worthwile. Instead, I have to see Deelishis, who changed into running shoes, Bootz, Buckwild, Buckeey and Sapphyrie - who never roomed with New York in the house and was supposed to be calmer due to her anger management classes - take off after New York.
It was good, old-time, Jerry Springer-type mayhem. I think I saw a chair being thrown too!
When we return from commercial, New York is back but Dee and her pals are absent from the stage. Flav comes out and he and New York have an awkward reunion. Lala asks him about the incident from a few minutes back. Flav was like, "I'm expected it."
Duh!
Deelishis is allowed back in. She says she just wanted to talk, but got carried away. She and New York trade some compliments and Flav points out that his lady's sincerity. Everyone claps for Dee!
Flav says he loves New York, but just can't get past her wanting to be the man and the woman in the relationship. He needs to wear the pants. Then, we mention New York's mom, who's there via satellite and hurls abuse at Flav, who ain't hearing it. He mutes her and then shuts the TV off.
That was funny!
Finally, New York and Flav confirm rumors that New York has her own show coming out. It's creatively titled "I Love New York". Man, I can't wait 'til it airs! I know I'll be covering it! I love this job!
Well, that's it for "Flavor of Love 2". Don't worry! I'll keep up with the news and gossip from Flav and his 'family' of ladies. They're bound to land in the news from time to time!
