Rock Of Love Bus Recap – Episode 11 – Nothing But The Funk

It’s kinda great when the season reaches its final stretches and everyone involved becomes unhinged.

rolb_11_3p0_5

And if they are topless in the process: even better!

And so, we are down to our final three, which means there’s only one episode left after this one, which means they’ll be traveling abroad next episode, which means the girls have to prepare to say goodbye to the bus…

rolb_11_3p0_1

Unless, of course, that bus has wings and will fly the final two to the finale destination. Taya interviews that she’s OK with saying goodbye to the bus because it never smelled right. So it’s super absorbent. Between that fact and the wings, it is clear that this bus is a mobile maxi pad. And it took me all season to realize it. Sometimes you don’t know even know the feminine hygiene product you have, even when it’s sitting right in front of you.

The girls arrive in Miami where Bret has left something “hot and amazing” for them waiting on their beds.

rolb_11_3p0_2

Bret interviews that, “If there’s one thing I love, it’s Carnival!” Well, that explains all the puppetry and marching he regularly engages in. Of course, the girls are supposed to wear these outfits.

rolb_11_3p0_3

This is fine with Jamie, who interviews, “It’s fun, it’s beady, it’s cheesy, it’s gaudy, I love it.” Clearly, her taste has led her to the right network. Taya, too, seems game for some dress-up, but Mindy starts freaking out because she’d never wear this stuff in a million years.

rolb_11_3p0_4

But you know once she turned a million, she’d be complaining that her body was no longer tight enough to pull off such an outfit. Never satisfied with the gaudy cheesy beadiness that we have: that’s human nature for ya.

When Mindy leaves the bathroom after whining, Taya makes the face you see at the top of this recap. It is extremely Celine Dion-esque.

taya_celine

I would love to dedicate this side-to-side comparison to all the parents and children of the world.

While Mindy mopes, Taya, who also has some Return of the Jedi Leia thrown in to what she’s got going on, helps Jamie into her outfit.

rolb_11_3p0_7

These women are very open with one another.

rolb_11_3p0_8

Oh crap! Taya’s black box just popped out! Don’t you hate it when that happens?

When the girls are outside to receive Bret, guess what Mindy does…

rolb_11_3p0_9

She complains! But actually…

rolb_11_3p0_10

…she does have a point.

rolb_11_3p0_11

A bebraided Bret joins the girls with his guitar. He wants Mindy to sing tonight. He explains to her that it’s not about the skill, but the emotion.

rolb_11_3p0_12

“It’s hard to have emotion when you’re wearing a crazy costume!” retorts Mindy. Gee, that’s funny, because it seems like the crazy costume is bringing her to emotional heights heretofore unscaled. Mindy decides that she’s going to change her outfit. As she’s walking back to the room, Bret verbally slaps her on the ass with, “Put a damn bikini bottom on for Christsakes! You’re in Miami.” The only thing that could make the sleaze underlying his statement more pronounced is if he then turned to Taya and asked her to pull his finger. You know she’d be like, “I am not some finger-puller by the airport! I’m a Vegas-style feature digit extender!” Bret also comments that Mindy has “gone mad” and interviews that she’s “Captain Buzzkill.” Sounds like a potential rock of love to me!

Mindy comes back wearing a sailor’s outfit…kind of:

rolb_11_3p0_13

I wonder if she has an array of sexy outfits based on costumes worn by the Village People. What I wouldn’t have given to see her in some hot pants and a full Indian headdress!

Once Admiral Partypooper is settled in, Bret surveys the girls about each other because he wants to stir up drama. Seriously. I mean, he’s putting on the appearance of, I don’t know, having his own best interest in mind, but it has the effect of pulling their necks back and exposing their respective jugulars.

rolb_11_3p0_14

He asks Jamie which girl she thinks should win if she were to be eliminated next. Jamie says she’s the best. Tyra would approve of that answer. But since she can’t pick herself, she goes with Mindy because she has nothing to promote. Taya answers that Mindy should be the one, as she’s portable. Mindy takes this as a backhanded compliment, as it implies that she has nothing going on in her life but Bret. Well, I mean, if you’re so against dressing up Mardi Gras style, how exciting could your life possibly be? Finally, Mindy chooses Jamie, as Jamie realizes that mistakes happen and that people have faults. Not to be overly defensive of Taya Dion, but she’s come up against people’s faults every step of the way, every roll of the bus tire. Mindy adds that Jamie’s fun, which: fair enough.

Now that that’s over, it’s time for Bret to leave, so he gives everyone a sponge bath with his tongue.

rolb_11_3p0_15

rolb_11_3p0_16

Everyone, that is, except for Mindy, who has walked away during the kissing ceremony. But then, once it’s all over and everyone’s bowed and said amen and lit incense, Mindy “realizes” that she “forgot” her “hat.”

rolb_11_3p0_17

Bret’s glad that Mindy came back out because she wasn’t being her usual self tonight. Mindy starts talking about how Taya isn’t the right girl for Bret and he interviews, “Good God, do we always gotta talk about Taya?” Really, if not for Taya, what would anyone talk about? Cereal? Mindy says, “I mean, I am the one person on this entire tour that has been her friend and I even question it.” This is supposed to be evidence of expertise, but really, it just makes Mindy seem like a crappy friend. Whatever, she’s not here to make friends. She’s here to win. And if by master-manipulating and throwing a previous ally under the bus is what needs to be done, it’s just the reality TV of the situation.

Whatever, though, Bret doesn’t want to talk about Taya so he turns the subject to Mindy’s sailor suit. Disappointingly, he does not work Cap’n Crunch into the conversation. Mindy starts yammering about the previous outfit not being her and goes on and on until Bret shuts her up by sticking his tongue in her mouth.

rol3_11_gif1

The gesture, it turns out, is not unwanted.

rolb_11_3p0_19

Seeing this flips Taya out. The dude wants to make out with another girl on his dating show? Imagine! Jamie attempts to shield Taya from the painful truth.

rolb_11_3p0_20

And then, Jamie shows her true awesomeness.

rolb_11_3p0_21

Taya gets on Jamie’s case for saying that Mindy should be the one to end up with Bret. Jamie says that she just said that because she knows that if it comes down to her and Mindy, she can beat Mindy. She says this with a straight face, but I imagine what’s going on in her head looks much like the picture above.

The next day, the girls get a note saying that Jamie and Taya will go on a date with Bret, and Mindy will stay behind in the hotel. Bret interviews, “I am hoping that this does not cause an avalanche of mood swings.” Remove “not” from that sentence and you have the actual truth.

Bret and the girls helicopter…

rolb_11_3p0_22

…to a gazebo, apparently.

rolb_11_3p0_23

Upon entering the gazebo, Bret says, “I want to make love to you two for hours. Or 10 minutes, whichever comes first.” At last, honesty.

The group lunches.

rolb_11_3p0_24

Taya takes the opportunity to reveal that Jamie choose strategically when she said last night that Mindy would be the better choice for Bret. Taya thinks this proves that Jamie is taking the show as a game. Even though it is one and it just means that Jamie’s attacking it without pretension. Naughty, naughty. Bret latches onto Taya’s sentiment and scolds Jamie by saying that he’s about to make a big decision and he requires honesty from his girls. And to that point, is Taya just being polite with her people-pleasing tendencies? Is she for real? She rolls with the punches, but maybe Bret doesn’t need someone who rolls. One thing’s for sure, though: he needs a girl that rocks.

That date’s over and the next day, they receive Bret Mail stating that Mindy and Jamie will attend today’s date. Taya interviews that something’s going on and says these girls are “lame.”

rolb_11_3p0_25

She attributes her use of the word to Farrah and Ashley. I’m sure they’re flattered.

Bret interviews that he’s taking Jamie along because he hasn’t really gotten to know her. He ain’t kidding: until, like, two episodes, I thought maybe she was a mime. Plus, she’s an insurance policy: if Mindy gets into a funk, she’ll be there to talk to. Like a good neighbor!

They board Bret’s bus for the date.

rolb_11_3p0_26

I’m sure that ass tap really helped Mindy on her way up.

Today, Bret, Mindy and Jamie will be going on the “swamp boat gator date.” This involves everything it would seem to.

rolb_11_3p0_27

We see footage of them cruising along and Bret says, “And you wonder why I’m single.” No I don’t. Like, not once in my life have I ever wondered that.

Bret takes the opportunity to make out with both of them in the open, swamp air.

rolb_11_3p0_28

rolb_11_3p0_29

rolb_11_3p0_30

Just like nature intended!

They find themselves a meal amongst the gators and bog smells.

rolb_11_3p0_31

Jamie asks Bret if he’s really serious about this whole thing. “What are you looking for?” he replies. I wish she would have said, “What are you looking for?” to answer the question that answered her question, but she does not. Damn it, Jamie! Now you messed everything up. She’s looking to date, by the way, not to marry.

The next subject on the table is “the Taya situation.” Good god, do we always gotta talk about Taya? Wait, why isn’t Bret asking that? Oh, because he is the one to bring it up, that’s why! Bret’s a real do-as-I-say-not-as-I-say kinda ruler. That must be frustrating. But not to these women! They gladly rip into Taya. Mindy thinks she’s calculating — the “Bret’s Girl” shirt she brought to the competition shows that she’s here to win. Jamie thinks Taya is crazy and “mental” and not 29 and still a stripper. Bret agrees that the way Taya represents herself is a little too good to be true.

Once the girls are home, Taya walks out on their deck and starts freaking out. As the wind whips her hair into an ’80s-style tussle, she shouts, “Oh my god! Mindy, it’s our favorite kind of weather!

rolb_11_3p0_32

I’m sure that assessment stems from a previous conversation, but it’s kinda fun to think of Taya deciding what Mindy’s favorite kind of weather is for her. “You like thunder and prunes, now shut up about it!”

From the looks of it, Mindy doesn’t seem to care that she’s missing her favorite kind of weather. As Taya goes on and on about how the sky looks like a picture someone painted them and that they should come check out the water, Jamie and Mindy plot.

rolb_11_3p0_35

Jamie thinks it will throw Taya off her game if Mindy stops talking to her and just hangs out with Jamie. Those sound like the words of a lonely girl. There is pathos in every corner. It’s like Rock of Love 2 all over again!

Taya’s finally able to pull them outside to experience the glorious wind, and the divide is clear:

rolb_11_3p0_36

They sit down for a nice session of bickering. Mindy thinks Taya manipulated their situation so that Taya looks like the strong one and Mindy looks like the weak one. Mindy’s falling to pieces the minute she steps a toe outside of her comfort zone, obviously, had nothing to do with that. Taya thinks Mindy’s relationship with Bret is Mindy’s responsibility. Please. There’s no such thing as taking responsibility on reality TV. That would just ruin everything. Mindy thinks that Taya has been in an industry where she has to make people feel good and she’s gotten good at it. I hope she’s good at making herself feel good. Also, I’m sick of typing the word “good.” Jamie asks if Taya’s a stripper. Taya’s all, “NOW?”

rolb_11_3p0_37

Except her body language reads, “Meeee?” And you know, there may be a point to the distinction Taya strikes between herself and strippers, but she shouldn’t be shocked when people get it twisted. She acts like a cartographer who was just asked to perform open-heart surgery. Even if she had to explain it a million times, she can’t expect people to invest themselves in subtleties.

Bret scoops the girls up for a date.

rolb_11_3p0_38

It is somber with a dash of primness:

rolb_11_3p0_39

“Everyone likes salmon, right?’ asks Bret of his group, who responds with the same enthusiasm that they would were Taya to win a challenge. That is to say: none. Bret asks Taya what she did today while the rest of them were on their date. She did her nails. Sounds like a regular Nomi Malone! On Bret’s noticing of the crappy mood everyone’s in, Mindy wonders in an interview how she’s expected to be in a good mood when she’s on a date with Bret and two other girls. I wonder how Mindy expected anything else when she enrolled in a polygamist scenario.

rolb_11_3p0_40

Taya’s in a wish-I-was-on-the-date sort of funk. Bret soon adjourns dinner and has them all convene for drinks outside.

rolb_11_3p0_42

Bret scolds them for their unenthusiastic showing at dinner. He says that it was like eating with his in-laws and that if they have another meal like that, he’ll send all three of them home. What, like a day before the finale? Calling your bluff, Michaels!

In a self-described brutally honest turn, Bret says, “I don’t do good with funks.” He wants full disclosure on what bug crawled up the collective ass of the group and died. It’s not a bug: Mindy’s just in awe. The date is that great. Jamie is fine. Bret quizzes Taya on her much-discussed promotional motives. He wonders if being here is part of her business plan since this is the No. 1 show on VH1. It’s so rock-star of him to talk numbers like that. Anyway, Taya says that to the contrary, her bosses aren’t so happy that she’s there. She’s missing deadlines and they don’t want her to be there. Plausible!

Bret takes Jamie away so he can spend yet more time with her.

rolb_11_3p0_43

They have the exact same discussion that they did earlier about Bret’s seriousness versus Jamie’s seriousness. She just doesn’t want to settle down.

Meanwhile…

rolb_11_3p0_44

…Taya just wants someone who understands her. To Mindy’s credit, no amount of bad blood prevents her for comforting a (former?) friend in distress…

rolb_11_3p0_45

Mindy says she sees security in Taya. Taya says she doesn’t have insecurities, she has a 9-year-old. Because, obviously, when you’re a single mom of a burgeoning tween, it’s impossible to be insecure. She tells Mindy that she does have insecurities but they’re regarding stuff that Mindy knows nothing about.

rolb_11_3p0_46

Bret comes out carrying a guitar. He hears the girls bickering. Bret turns right around. Bret is smart.

rolb_11_3p0_47

During the just-mentioned exchange between Taya and Mindy, Taya says, “I’m 29 going on 129!” Somewhere right now, Farrah and Ashley are extremely pleased. Mindy ends up suggesting that they forget that they’re friends. That should be easy enough: just take the knife out of Taya’s back and plunge it into her hippocampus. Mindy interviews that for her, the other girls’ tour ends here. I thought you had to be wearing a bandanna and the finest extensions Europe has to offer to say that.

Elimination!

rolb_11_3p0_48

Bret goes through the last three girls who are not in the running towards becoming America’s Next Top Model. Jamie rolls with the punches and speaks the truth but she is not looking for a serious relationship. Taya knows a lot about Bret, which is good for his ego, but he can’t wrap his gut around whether or not she’s here for love. Maybe it’s gas that’s getting in the way? Finally, Mindy has true feelings but she gets in funks.

But who cares because Mindy’s called first. Is she here for real? Yes. She gets her pass and Bret sends her back up so that she can watch the live reality show. Bret says that this is the hardest decision he’s ever had to make. Always is! He calls Jamie down. He loves her innocence, but he doesn’t like that she doesn’t want to be his future ex-wife. She is going home.

rolb_11_3p0_50

Jamie’s exit interview is pretty great: “He dumped me on TV and that sucks but I’ll get over it and hope we can be friends. Hope we can hang out. Hope he’ll hook me up to some tickets for Poison.” Then she stumbles a little and says, “Whoa.” That seems extremely symbolic.

And so, Taya is staying.

rolb_11_3p0_51

Pretty impressive: not everyone could get a single tear to perfectly fall down her face like that. Clearly, she is here for the right reason.

Heather and Bret belong together.

NotaTayaFan April 6, 2009 at 1:20 pm

Taya is as nasty as Ashley is. Would someone please show this women how an eyebrow is supposed to look. She looks like her face is frozen permanently in a “I’m so surprised” look. UGH! She is not 29..more like 45.

Manda April 6, 2009 at 1:34 pm

Heather! I have always liked her, but she is not the one! At this point, I think that Taya has it in the bag. She is solid. She has a son to raise, a house to manage, and a career. I don’t think that Bret wants a puppy to follow him around all googley-eyed. I’m sure he is looking for a woman is independent and has her own thing goin’ on.

Heather April 6, 2009 at 1:50 pm

I can’t stand Mindy! Obviously the show is ridiculous and the fact that I am even writing a comment says something negative about me, but oh well. She is always complaining and throwing tantrums, plus she showed how loyal of a person she is to her friends. True this is a reality show and nobody is on it to make friends, but Mindy always expects Taya to be there for her and pump her up when she is feeling low (which is all the freakin’ time!) Then she goes and repeatedly throws Taya under the bus and makes hurtful accusations about her. It is more than obvious why Mindy is still single, she’s a b*tch. Bret should be noticing how Mindy is always talking crap on Taya even though they were supposed to be friends and Taya never does that to Mindy. Everyone is just attacking Taya because she is more confident than the others. Quit being caddy and focus on your own relationship Mindy instead of trying to make Taya look bad. I hate two-faced people like that. Love them or hate them Ashley and Farrah were always upfront about their opinions of people don’t seem like the type of girls that would pull crap like that on somebody, especially someone they referred to as a friend. Taya should win just because Mindy sucks!

Kelly April 6, 2009 at 2:12 pm

I LOOVEE Rock of Love but this was the most boring episode ever!!!!!
Normally I’m excited for all the season finales but I think i’ll just skip this one and hear who wins. These last girls are SO BORING. It’s bad tv.

Can’t believe i’m saying this but I miss all the crazy slutty girls! Farrah, Ashely, DJ whatever, Kelsey and the lot… VH1 needs the crazy!

Em April 6, 2009 at 2:24 pm

Agree with everything NotaTayaFan said- she has got some funky eyebrows going on! She can’t be serious, claiming to be 29.

Sorry to see Jamie go because she’s the only one left that seems to realize this show is one big joke. It’s entertaining for sure, but no one really believes Bret could function in a real relationship.

someone April 6, 2009 at 2:40 pm

WELL IN MY OPINION BRET SHOULD OF JUST LEFT ASHLEY THERE BECAUSE WHEN ASHLEY WAS THERE THE SHOW WAS TIGHT BUT NOW DAT SHE LEFT ALL YOU SEE IS A BUNCH OF (++!$@($_~)_%$_~$ ES CRYING AND MAKIN A FIT OF EVERYTHINGGGGGGGG AND I DONT THINK NONE OF THEM ARE GONNA MAKE HIM HAPPY BUT ALL I GOTTA SAY IS IF HE WANTS SOME ONE TO BE ON HIS )#$(~`%%)&)`^`( TELLIN HIM WAT TO DO AND BEING MAD ALL THE TIME THEN PICK MINDY BUT IF YOU WANT SOME ONE CRYING ALL THE TIME THEN GET TAYA SIRIOUSLY DUDE WATH DID YOU DO YOU PICK THE WORST OF THE BUNCH YOU SHOULD OF STAY WHIT ANY OTHER GIRL BUT THEM AND I AINT BOND BUT STR8 UP THEY ARE MORE FUN WELL ATLEAST THE BLOND ONES IN YOU SHOW WERE TIGHT

emogirl April 6, 2009 at 2:44 pm

i think that theese shows are fun to watch but only a few competiters are actually there for love,and one of them always wins.But i’m not so sure about theese girls,they were cool at first but now they are soooo rapped up in ))&~`#)&(`_~$(+^) ing with each other that they are forgetting about brett and starting to be slutty.now i’m starting to wish one of the other girls were there because at least they wold be worried about brett.have you ever notticed how close brett is with ALL his ex’s? if it were me on here i would have been worried.

emogirl April 6, 2009 at 2:47 pm

remember that one girl? the one who everyone thought was a man? i think she(he)is,or maybe was, a man.do you?

REALLY? April 6, 2009 at 2:56 pm

I would just like to say that i have watched every episoed from Rock of Love 1 till now…(yes i’m addicted) any how i would just like to say that it seems to me that Brett doesn’t even know what he wants in a women much less a relationship. But hell we all need to make money, but Love i don’t believe can be found by promising money.. I wish Brett and whomever he choses all the best luck at love. But until he can admit that he is not ready to give all or most of his attention to one women i don’t believe he will ever find true happiness!! But then I may be a fool

Mike April 6, 2009 at 3:02 pm

Bret if you read this you are such a punk eyeliner blonde wig wearing LOSER!!!! This show is a joke with the ugliest girls I have ever seen. Hi I am Paris Hilton look a like but much trashier. WTF Stupidest show ever. Thanks for having our kids be sujected this crap..Peace

Princess Bleh April 6, 2009 at 3:10 pm

I was hoping Jamie would win, then BM would find out how she ditched her Army husband for that American Idol wanker Constantine, and dump her sorry butt on the Reunion Show, just before announcing RoL4.

Oh well, these chicks are really lame and ever since Bev was dismissed last week, I kind of don’t care who wins, b/c the viewers LOSE!

NotATayaFan April 6, 2009 at 3:20 pm

I totally agree with you Really. Has anyone noticed it’s all about what Bret wants? In a healthy relationship, there is some level of comprismise. In all three shows I’ve never heard him say what he can offer someone else. I doubt he even knows what comprimise is. It’s all a gimmick.

Robin April 6, 2009 at 3:23 pm

I think Taya is very beautiful and independent and I do not understand why everyone attacks her. She is if anything too good for Bret. I would like to know what Bret would do if one of his daughters would date a guy who makes out with anything walking. I think he has no respect for women and is not capible of being monogomous to any one woman. But Taya is definitely smart, secure and a strong independent woman and Bret should feel honored and priviledged that she would even consider him. Bye the way Mindy looks like a bird and is ugly! Love you Taya

jasmine April 6, 2009 at 3:28 pm

i love taya u guys dont like her cause she the best

cecilenoe April 6, 2009 at 4:09 pm

well i love mindy ,mindy she is the one for bret ,bret need to choose mindy she is honest ,calm,loving caring, taya she is fake ,and cry for no raison because she is insecure taya and look someone to take her child,and mindy she is beautiful, loving,caring,and bret be decive with kind a women like taya them bret should be smart and choose mindy for his girlfriend mindy.not taya.taya no good at all for bret.true love for bret.talking.

Barbara April 6, 2009 at 4:27 pm

We know that Bret is going to end up with Taya….This is for sure. I put money on it. She seems laid back like Bret. Mindy is too too much for him to held one on one. I think she would drive him crazy after sometime. You know what they say love is blind but don’t be stupid!!!

The outfits were a really stupid idea for the girls. If he wanted to see go go dancers he should have gone to bar.

They both suck April 6, 2009 at 4:58 pm

Jesus – now we are down to these 2 b*tches – I agree i wish the crazy ones were still on there like Britanya, Ashley Farrah ANYONE except for these 2 lame (+)!$!^&)(+^##^ girls.. come on Bret i thought you were better than this – neither one of these girls will be able to handle life on the Road – Taya has to much of her own thing goin on and Mindy is to Emo and will flip over the first girl that throws herself on him….

Who will it be? April 6, 2009 at 5:39 pm

I am predicting that he will choose Mindy, because I think for the first time, he may actually be tired of searching. He’s pretty old, and as people get older, they realize more so how much they need someone they can trust and count on. Mindy would also make a better role model for his kids. I have nothing against Taya though. I think she’s nice, but her past is her past and whether he will over look it in considering a long-term relationship or even marriage given that he has a family, I don’t know…Would love to get some more predictions!

Lori April 6, 2009 at 6:32 pm

Taya is such a whine &`^!$_^+*&(*@#~ OMG he should have shafted the wench and kept Jamie!! I have never wanted him to kick someone off the show as bad as her! I mean what the french?!!!!

ALFREDO April 6, 2009 at 6:33 pm

I THINK NEIGHTHER OF THEM WOULD MAKE A PERFECT MATCH FOR BRETS ROCK OF LOVE 3. BECAUSE MINDY IS TOO BORING AND FUNKING AND SHE LOOKS LIKE SHES NOT USE TO BRETS ROCK STYLE. AND TAYA IS FAKE, IF SHE WINS SHE MIGHT DUMP BRET MONTHS LATER BEING TOP CELEBRITY OF PETHHOUSE. I THOUGHT THE SAME THING WITH FLAVOR OF LOVE 3 THE 2 FINALIST I COULDN’T SEEM EM WITH FLAV HE ENDED UP CHOOSING NO ONE. COULD SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPEN TO BRET? I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISE IF IN THE REUNION MINDY OR TAYA WHOM EVER IS THE WINNER IS GOING TO SAY THEIR NOT GOING OUT NO MORE. COULD THE 3RD SEASONS OF VH1 DATING SHOWS BE CURS….????????????????????

Shawna April 6, 2009 at 6:52 pm

Taya is a skank….no matter what way you say it. He should have kept Britanya, she was hot and fun, he would have had a blast with her and she could handle the road life. Mindy is a damn crybaby and Taya is a friggen drama queen…..get over it! Brett…..U should have kept Britanya dude…….seriously

Carolina April 6, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Bret should pick Mindy, she’s pretty, and fun. Taya is super annoying, always crying….Glad all the nasty blondes are gone anyway…Hoping Bret picks Mindy…also loved the part when Mindy makes out with Bret, and makes Taya cry….again!!!

Donna April 6, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Taya is the one for Bret.SHE HAS A LOT OF CLASS. He needs a nice girl. Ashley was trash.

RoscoeEarlham April 6, 2009 at 7:41 pm

They’re so not right for Brett. Way to much drama! He needs to find himself a Steeler’s Fan! Too high maintenance! All of the girls I’ve seen

RoscoeEarlham April 6, 2009 at 7:42 pm

They’re so not right for Brett. Way to much drama! He needs to find himself a Steeler’s Fan! Too high maintenance!

Dwayne April 6, 2009 at 7:42 pm

Bret Michaels is pathetic when it comes to love.

Tawny April 6, 2009 at 8:17 pm

I agree with Robin that Taya is the one for Bret. Mindy is so needy and insecure and tiresome she would get on any man’s nerves in recordbreaking time. Taya is a parent like Bret, has her own life and career going on and is not dependent upon Bret. Taya would compliment Bret very well, even if it were just friendship. Mindy is an emotional vampire and should be sent `)!~_#_!+^`+%#^$$ ng.

hawaiishoegirlie April 6, 2009 at 8:36 pm

I have a feeling that Mindy is going to be the winner. But only because of Beverly’s “after the episode” interview from the previous week’s elimination. She talked about going to a strip club to see Taya perform and how Taya was by herself and seemed lonely. That to me is a HUGE giveaway that she wasn’t the winner.

He should be with Mindy. She is beautiful and down to earth and charming. She gets all funked out cuz she’s falling for Bret.

I have no idea why Jamie was in the final 3. She acted 12 and wasn’t all that pretty.

Taya is annoying…and class???? A penthouse pet? I don’t find that classy.

Mindy should win. She rocks.

Ashley April 6, 2009 at 9:13 pm

Mindy looks like a gopher and needs more salsa in her suitcase because she has that annoying, cheesy twangy voice. She is so LAME.

kenya April 6, 2009 at 9:53 pm

did ya’ll see the preview for the next episode taya eyebrows looked normal for once. she must had someone else do her eyebrows. she even look like a different person. i think niether one is good for bret. she should got with heather but we wouldnt be here today talkin about rock of love tour bus would we?

none-ya April 6, 2009 at 10:25 pm

Bret should just wait and let love find him, he might be old with no teeth or hair by then, but a least it will be true love…..because we all know You can’t buy true love and you can’t search for it .TRUE LOVE HAS TO FIND YOU.

none-ya April 6, 2009 at 10:34 pm

Sorry Bret, but that is the cold hard facts.I been where you are right now and (well not rich and I guess I am not a star either)but I’v look for love and didn’t find it…. then when i said f*** it…. thats when I found my husband. HA!!!!! HA!!!!!! So in a way it kinda sucks to be you right now. Good luck and I pray for only the best for ya.

redroses4u April 6, 2009 at 11:14 pm

Bret, I don’t believe you can truly find love on reality show..you don’t know if the girls are being true to themselves and to you due to your status and you can’t possibly be your own self either while camera is rolling..I have no doubt you’ll find your true love but not on TV..I love ya as a fan and care and as being a dad, if you must stay single then be single until Mrs. Right walks right into your heart someday but for now, enjoy your life to the fullest…best to your future..

I hate Taya. She is a ~@*^~!&~_~@&^_%#% Mindy has been my favorite from the start and she will always be the only one for him that is in the house. She is fantastic and ya know whatm she may get into a “funk” sometimes but everyone does. Taya CAN’T be that perfect every minute of everyday. She puts on this act for Bret that she is a proper yound lady but when she is around JUST the girls, she is a ~@*^~!&~_~@&^_%#% I hate her and MILLIONS would agree. Taya is here premoting Penthouse… more like hustler…. %%^`#`+&~^~^~`*$&( She IS her premoting, I feel bad for the man who ends up with her ~@*^~!&~_~@&^_%#% _^**#*!@^~(~`((

Jamd April 6, 2009 at 11:29 pm

Okay this is weird. I knew from the beginning (on the “This season on Rock of Love Bus” commericals) that Mindy was going to win. I do not know how I figured that but I just did which is weird! I know she’s going to win I mean…seriously, Taya?? She’s ugly as @_*+)#__&*_$%)!! and just annoying so yeah Mindy wins. Don’t you hate it when they make these finales so obvious??

diana April 6, 2009 at 11:38 pm

Bret should get back together with Ambre or Heather. The last girls left are crazy.

Shawna April 6, 2009 at 11:45 pm

Does it really matter who he picks? It is just a show, he can’t stay loyal to one woman anyway! I really like Mindy and can’t stand Taya. So for that reason I hope he picks Taya, I would love to see her get hurt! But if he would stay loyal and really wants love, I think he should pick Mindy. But again, it is just for money and exposure for Bret. I know the preview show a ring, like the show didn’t buy it and does it really mean anything.

Tiffany April 6, 2009 at 11:55 pm

All of the beaver Mindy fans and Taya haters are just Mindy’s evil little minions posting on her behalf. They are as nuts as she is.

Tiffany April 6, 2009 at 11:58 pm

Taya should win because Mindy sucks and is jealous of Taya and is always trying to put her down! Taya should win because Mindy is an ugly, insecure, manipulative person deep down! She hates Taya and thinks Taya is “perfect” because Taya is a lot more emotionally mature and responsible than she is. Seriously, can any of you see Mindy being a mother? She would be a Mommie Dearest! Mindy needs to go! She’s a whackjob!

Rachell April 7, 2009 at 12:44 am

lol Taya is 29….LOL I imagine her disclosing her age something like this:

(In a dense forest, darkened by the overcast sky)

Brett: So…how old are you?

Taya: 29.

Brett: And how long have you been 29?

Taya: …A while.

You need to slice her open and count her rings, I swear to god the woman is in her 40′s. I think she’s very pretty (eyebrows notwithstanding), but 29, she is not.

Oh yeah and hmmm I really think that Brett will end up with no one on this season. He really connected with the girls in season 2….maybe being on the road whilst doing this really takes a toll on him, he doesn’t seem to have the time to connect as much with these women as he did when he focused all his time on them. I wish he would get together with Amber again..

Bobbi April 7, 2009 at 1:39 am

Rachell, you are seriously deranged, honeybunch.

Have you ever bothered to look up Taya online from her Penthouse pics (just last December) and take a look at her BODY????

Do you REALLY BELIEVE Taya is in her 40s after looking at that BODY in those pics?

Taya has the body of a 20-something year old, close to 30, just like Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt of Playboy Girls Next Door fame.

Taya has a smokin’ hot body, Rachelle and is in her late 20s, just like Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt, so deal with it.

Who cares if Bret connected with the season 2 women or not? Amber is a nice person, but who is that freak of nature Daisy who is now getting her own show? I don’t think Season 2 is anything to brag about. They were a bunch of social outcasts and drunks like this group was.

LYN April 7, 2009 at 2:42 am

i !)_+%*@`~`$__(*# n HATE MINDY! uggghhh, she makes me sick. She acts like a spoiled brat. Whenever she doesn’t get her way, she starts acting like a biyatch. She is ugly and she doesn’t look like a gofer (however u spell it). Her voice is so irritating too. I think if bret picks mindy, he will be miserable because all she does is complain, wine, and #^`!%_%)%~~#(%#)) she can never be down to earth.

regardless of what people say about taya, i think she has the best attitude. i think she’s real, and i personally don’t think she’s trying to advertise anything to boost herself up for fame.

Mindy is just a jealous, insecure, FAKE friend! oh gosh she is fake as hell. she must have no friends cuz she can’t keep it real! i hope bret doesn’t pick her, i’d seriously puke!

lyn April 7, 2009 at 2:54 am

just like what bret said about mindy at elimination! ahahaha, he will be having a roller coaster when he’s on the road cuz like i said she’s insecure, and a spoiled little ^*#%&)+#(^~*`~@)# she’ll be so jealous when so much girls will be all over him all the time. I think she’ll give him a hard time in a relationship. He’ll never be at ease.

At least with Taya, she does penthouse so she’s constantly busy. she won’t be so much all on bret’s nutsacks as much as mindy would. she has a more clear understanding of someone who’s constantly busy career-wise!

red_devil_woman April 7, 2009 at 3:09 am

I love Brett Michaels but this is bull +%`))`+^)(#(!~$^ he just wants the woman that looks the best rather than a woman that has a brain. I mean come on Jamie just said she didnt know if she was ready for marriage right now, what does Brett expect someone that is just ready to marry him right now on the spot and love him too? omg if so he is stupid even though i love him, of course any woman is going to be a little be cautious of him with as many women as he has had on the show competing for him, i mean my god what does he excpet?

DumpTaya April 7, 2009 at 11:43 am

Taya IS NASTY!!! Really Bret? what are you thinking, why is she still around I Totally agree with NotaTayaFan!
29 my )&+^+)*$%#)`&%* how did she ever be in playboy with those eyebrows?

whatever April 7, 2009 at 11:49 am

Taya is ALL ABOUT HAVING INSECURITIES with a face like that i would be insecure to! NASTY!!

Sharon April 7, 2009 at 11:58 am

Brett,
I think you should pick with your heart. I can’t say who that is! I would like to say that you know what you want, and I would think by now. That you can see thru a fake person. I will not say a name, but one of the two girls left, if you pick her, and it does not work out, she will write a book or something, and it will be all your fault, that it did not work! She does nothing wrong. And that would be her thinking in your relation also….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
