I told y'all I'd get to a recap/commentary of the "Flavor of Love 2" finale. It just took me some time. The finale of "Flavor of Love 2" had some high drama courtesy of New York and the weather in Belize. Without further ado, here's the scoop.
After Krazy's unsurprising elimination, Flav tells the remaining girls - Deelishus and New York - to pack their bags. They're all heading to Placencia, Belize in the morning. Of course, not if Ms Michelle, New York's mama has anything to say 'bout it.
Seems Ms Michelle wanted Flav to send her Tiffany home with her. She went back in to the mansion and had a 'talk' with Flav. She told him that she wanted Tiffany to come home with her. Flav said, "She won't go!" Guess what!?! He was right.
This really upset Ms Michelle. She was, as she put it, "devastated". Get over it, drama queen! Your daughter is 24 years old. She has the right to make her choices no matter what you think of 'em! What a controlling diva! Can't imagine where New York gets it from, right? Even Flav takes notice and spits out the following prophecy, "If I ever see New York acting like her mama, I'm going to put her on the back burner and run off with Deelishus!"
The next morning, they go to Placencia, Belize and are given a royal welcome. Deelishus notices that everyone seems to recognize New York and Flav. She's a little concerned that others can see the "special connection" between those two.
New York gets a little upset when Flav tells the girls that he'll see Deelishus tonight and New York tomorrow but holds her acerbic tongue for once. Too bad, she doesn't do that later, but I'm getting ahead of myself!
Anyway, New York tries to mess with Deelishus before she has her date with Flav. She wants to ruin Deelishus' time with 'her man', but Deelishus ignores her, even going so far as to shut the bathroom door on New York mid-tirade.
Deelishus goes off on her date with Flav. New York stands at the window watching Flav and Dee like the psycho she appears to be. Finally, Flav and Dee walk to a secluded locale. New York's like "Where'd they go?"
They escaped into a tent with a bed and pillows and got physical with each other, kissing and cuddling. The duo was so into each other that when the masseuses showed up to give them their massages, they didn't notice right away. After the massages were over, Flav and Dee changed and had dinner together.
Dee asks Flav how he feels about her. He says, he's "feeling her" or she wouldn't be there. He also tells her she's "NOT UGLY"! Oh man! Way to be romantic, Flav! Then, he starts flattering her booty. Nice! Dee then asks if this is all for TV. Flav says no. He looks a little hurt by that. Deelishus then says that she went to Church and prayed and slept with a picture of him under her pillow after seeing the first season.
(Now, if you listen to this interview, you'll understand that this was all creative editing and Deelishus was only talking about her humorous audition tape!)
After dinner, they head to Flav's room and Dee has what she calls a serious 'wardrobe malfunction'. Her zipper won't come undone. Luckily, Flav is ready, able and willing to get that dress open. He takes a knife from the kitchen and tears Dee's prom dress apart.
Flav and Dee get down to the nitty-gritty and make out. Cut to the morning, when she leaves his room and they're both smiling. Then, Dee heads back to the room she shares with New York. You telling me Vh-1 couldn't spring for two rooms! I know why they did it - for drama - but really.
New York invites Dee to breakfast and promises she'll be civil. Hehe! Deelishus says she's not New York's enemy, just her opponent. New York responds by calling Deelishus a 'gold digger'. Dee's like I don't need Flav's money. My baby's daddy has a ton, thank you very much. Then, she calls New York a "Whitney Houston" which New York takes as a compliment.
Oh man!
Eventually, Flav arrives to collect New York. Deelishus is in bed and New York's like, "Deelishus, I left my razor in the bathroom in case you want to shave that mustache." B*tch!
Flav takes New York, who can't swim and hates water activities, sailing. He mentions there's a tramp on the boat. Sorry, he said trampoline. Could you see how I could get the two confused?
New York asks Flav if he slept with Dee last night. Flav was like that ain't none of yo' business. New York then tells Flav she is planning their future together and calling all the shots. Uh-oh! Finally, Flav sees New York for the jealous psycho she is. Flav tells her she's acting like her mama and takes a dip in the water to clear his head.
New York gets skeerd. She understands that she's made a huge mistake and swears that she's gonna keep her big mouth shut. Yeah, right?
When Flav comes out of the water, he and New York have a heated and scary makeout session where he keeps asking her, "Who gives the orders?" I was a little nervous and quite uncomfortable watching it. Eventually, New York answers him correctly, and Flav seems satisfied. Then, he jumps back in the water and demands New York do the same. She does with a life vest but freaks out immediately.
Flav then says she's too 'dramatical'. I feel like I need a Flav to English dictionary to watch this show, sometimes.
At dinner, New York tells Flav she knows she was way out of line. He seems to accept her apology, but in a diary session, tells the cameras she really spooked him and he's not so sure about his feelings for her anymore. Of course, he also says he's into giving second changes so...we keep wondering if he'll get smart and give up the dysfunctional diva he's physically attracted to.
After dinner, they head back to Flav's place. New York decided, while Flav takes his sweet time in the bathroom, that she can't stay. Flav says he respects her 'classy' decision. Back at her room, New York smokes and thinks and cries and then packs a bag and goes back to Flav's room where it seems they make love.
In the AM, New York heads back to Dee and the girls chat over breakfast. Dee is pretty sure New York is messing with her but admits she felt sick last night. I would too if I had to imagine Flav in bed with New York. Oh man! I think I feel a virus coming on.
Meanwhile, Flav is trying to make his decision. Oh man! He doesn't want to break New York's heart again, but she's way too 'dramatical'. Okay! This is nothing new. Let's move on!
The girls receive separate Flav-o-grams with dresses they're expected to wear for the final elimination. Dee's is a pretty peach outfit that skims her curves. New York's looks like a prom dress that was cut out so a hooker could make use out of it.
The weather adds to the drama. It's thundering and lightning in Belize. New York complains that all her curls dropped. The gals wait for a bit for Flav to come out and announce his decision. Flav tells New York they have a history together and she's always 'been down for him.' Flav then says to Deelishus if this is all for TV, then she's just as fake as he is for hanging around for so long. Huh? I don't understand.
IS HE GOING TO CHOOSE NEW YORK AFTER ALL THIS? OH MY GOD!!!!
Flav tells New York she's beautiful, and he loves her, but she blew it when she got all psycho on the boat. He has to cut her loose a second time. New York goes ape-sh*t. She swears like a truck driver and lifts up her dress to expose her naked backside. Flav argues back with her. He should've just let her express herself and go like Deelishus did. Dee showed a ton of class and self-restraint.
In the end, Flav and Dee fall into each others' arms and share a kiss and hug. Flav says he can't wait to meet her daughter, Jasmine. He also has a little girl by that name. Wow! What a coincidence!
And I can't wait for the Reunion show, y'all! It looks like it will be off-the-hook.
