[Watch On!]VH1 reality show watching and appreciation thread

Lord Jezo

Due to the fact that I have the most basic of cable packages and that VH1 is the only station I really get outside of network broadcst I have become an unwilling fan of VH1 reality programming, meaning that the wife had it on so much that my disgust turned to curiosity which then turned to actually watching everything.

YOU ARE ALL FANS TOO, DON'T TRY TO DENY IT.

With Rock of Love Bus and Sober House ending that leaves us with..

Tough Love

I Love Money 2

and some show about Ray J, which is useless.

BUT! the next round of shows is about to start!

The wife and I got hooked on Rock Bus of Love and Tool Academy. I'm not sure anything in this new crop really appeals to me, but she might want to watch that charm school with all the crazies on it.

Tough Love seems decent so far. Definitely better some nights than others.

Edit: Oh God. Does the Brazillian's shirt really say "Your Goin Down"? The stupid may kill me.

I love "Rock of Love" even though I think they are starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel for contestants.

Also to expand, I'm including MTV because my guilty pleasure is the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. The first episode this year was epic. CT has some serious fucking issues (as they all seem to).

Man fuck you OP, For the Love of Ray J is hilarious.

I like Tough Love but I don't like the host's mommy complex. Whenever his mom shows up (like this past epiode) he stands there like a little kid, this time with his hands jammed deep in his pockets.

The "big" reveal this week was pretty lame, she has a boyfriend and left the show. Bah.

My wife and I wachted Rock of Love 1 & 2 and can't stand the bus. America's Most Smartest Supemodel was awesome tho, I miss it.

Last year I ended up staying at a friend's house every day until about 2am. I would always stay late because I Love Money would be running. That show is awesome. This dude just walked into a shower a girl was in, washes something off himself from a prank, and walks out. He doesn't even care about the girl naked with him.

What a man.

Im addicted to these shows even though I hate every single person in them. The reunion shows are the best.

And wow, the contenstants for the Daisy show look like HUGE tools.

I will admit I like "I Love Money".
I have a weird thing for Becky Buckwild.

My wife, however, loves ALL of these. No matter how bad.

Hooray for this thread! I love VH1 reality shows may too much - my friends' reactions range from faintly amused to outright horrified. My fiance has learned to tune my shows out while they're on, although he did enjoy Tool Academy and is getting into Tough Love.

I've watched everything except New York Goes To Hollywood (it was okay until her mom and Tailor Made showed up). I'm not sure about Daisy of Love, since Real Chance at Love was pretty "eh". However, I am way too excited about the Rock of Love Bus Reunion and the end of Ray J, especially since

I heard on the radio that Danger is claiming to be carrying Ray J's baby

Gigaton

I have to admit that I love this kind of trash TV and can even name every spin-off from that one season of the "Surreal Life" from unintentional memorization. I'm pretty certain that Daisy of Love will be absolutely glorious.

I never got into the Ray J show. Just never resonated with me. That charm school with all the Bus girls is going to be awesome, though.

Lord Jezo

So what did everyone think of the Rock of Love reunion show?

It seemed way too short to me and they didn't talk to the major players long enough. There were so many people that we totally forgot about as well. Show also seemed designed to make you not like Tara and feel bad for Mindy.

I hear rumors that a season 4 is coming which may be why when asked if Tara would marry Bret now she said she'd have to think about it.

Oh well, now we wait for Daisy of Love.
