REALITY BYTES

So, what is the deal with these reality shows that are based on finding the right love match? Do they really work? Will we ever get to see good ole Flav walk into the sunset with his soul mate, or will he keep riding into the sunset with his broken down horse of a show,”Flavor of Love “?

How about Brett Michaels finding that guitar slinging goddess that will prove to be his match? Will he give up his reality show and quit sounding like a cheesy game show host? Sorry Brett, but whenever you hype your chosen date for the night, you sound like a broken record.

Brett loves to tell his adoring audience what it will take, for his chosen lady love to fit into his lifestyle. A woman that knows what it means to be hooked up with the rock star he is. Realistically, can any of these reality stars really find the right match on these shows of theirs? It is a competition where winning is everything and true love is steamrolled over for ratings.

I have to admit, I watch “Rock Of Love ” with my tongue firmly planted into my left cheek and would usually miss half the dialogue, from laughing at the show. Personally, I think Brett might be a nice guy. It’s hard to tell just how much this show’s producer, allows actual reality to take place without manipulating the final product. If there is one thing the contestants seems to have a problem with, it would be personal time with Brett. All of Brett’s girls whine about time.

This is a video clip of the “Rock of Love II” reunion show.

We are all tuning into these shows to watch the chosen star, meet that special someone from a group of hand picked contestants. At the end of the series, the prize is; they end up together? Guess what? We all need a reality check, because this is not what really happens; is it?

Are any of us surprised, when we later hear that these love connections fall apart? Why in the world would they stay together? If you are a guy, would you truly marry “New York” and expect anything that resembled reality; especially with that mom of hers in your face every single day? If you were the last woman standing, would you end “Flavor of Love” by actually getting married to that man? Enough said.

The producers of “Flavor of Love” must have seen a lot of dollar signs, when considering a spin off called, “I Love New York “.

These reality love connection shows are a hoot, no doubt. They are a big sandwich, with all of the juicy meat in the middle, where it counts. Watching the cat fights, watching the dog fights , watching all of those unscripted moments that the producers have absolutely no control over, when things begin to unravel. This is what makes these love connect shows worth tuning into.

As an industry, Brett Michaels only has a few more “Rocks of Love” that he can do, before he loses credibility with his adoring audience. This reality show would have been a lot more believable if someone like Eric Clapton was the star. At least we could listen to some better music and see a few more gold records on the walls.

These reality shows, with love as the prize have only flourished over the years. Right now, millions of vicarious viewers are tuning into “The Bachelorette ” on ABC. Her name is DeAnna Pappas and she is wholesome and hot as an apple pie can get.

A video clip from this season’s “The Bachelorette”, episode one. The guys show us what they have to offer DeAnna.

DeAnna got her heart broken into a million pieces on “The Bachelor” last season, when she fell in love, but was not picked by her man. Now it is her turn to break a few hearts. We all love to look at her and watch her, doing her lovely thing, This is a very big reason why she has her own show now. Viewer response to DeAnna is very high. The audience loved her on “The Bachelor” last year. Will we get to see this bachelorette fall in love with the man of her dreams, then sail off into ABC’s technicolor sunset, at the end of her show? I am a romantic at heart and counting on it!
