The Celebreality Interview – Mindy

rolbus_finale_3f_40

“I love everything about you,” Bret told Rock of Love Bus first runner-up Mindy. “But the ring is not for you.” If that’s not enough to put someone in a funk, nothing is. However, in our chat with Mindy she was surprisingly upbeat, not just about Bret’s decision but her time on the show, in general. Below, Mindy talks about the torch she still carries for Bret, salsa in suitcases and whether she thinks Taya and Bret’s relationship will last.

How was your time on the show?

I’m really happy about everything that happened, good, bad and ugly.

That surprises me a bit. I thought you might have negative feelings considering all that you went through. People gave you such a hard time.

I have a lot to make fun of. I don’t blame them!

Really?

My voice, yeah, that’s funny. I get it. I know I exaggerate things. And the song challenge? Come on. Hilarious. I had a meltdown. To watch that on TV? You don’t know that you’re like that until you watch it. And then you’re like, “Yeah, next time, I’m probably going to chill out a little more.”

You were not afraid to push back when given a task you were uncomfortable with. The whole Carnival thing, for example.

Oh yeah, I did not want to do that. I felt like someone was trying to make me something I’m not. I don’t wear stupid costumes like that. I mean, yeah a sailor costume is stupid, but it’s my kind of stupid. I had sequined discs on my boobs and that costume had no butt. I don’t wear those types of things. And I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t look sexy in it, because it’s just not me at all. I felt ridiculous and everyone else is like, “We’re ready!” I didn’t understand what snapped where. I had big shoulder pads, too. It was like Star Trek.

That move fell in line with your character. You sort of had the normal-girl angle going for you, right?

I think I’m the person people can identify with the most because even though cameras were rolling, they did not stop my meltdowns and emotional moments. When I was upset about something, everybody knew it. I’m glad I didn’t go on there and pretend I was something that I’m not. In the real world, people have bad days. If you went on Rock of Love and you’d been there six weeks, do you think you’d be hunky dory every single moment? No! You’ve got days that aren’t great and then you’ve got people that you’re questioning every single minute.

Your disposition, and everything, really – even your brown hair – made you something of an odd choice for the show.

When the show first started airing, and I told people I was on Rock of Love, they were like, “No you’re not! They would never put a girl like you on that show!” And even more bizarrely: I made it to the end.

Were you surprised you made it that far?

Yeah. Before leaving, I told everyone I’d be home in two weeks, max. I figured maybe three, four eliminations. I never expected it.

Were you heartbroken to have not been Bret’s choice?

Of course. I had a complete breakdown in the bathroom of the resort we were in. It was the first time I had been really by myself. I was standing against the wall. I realized it was totally quiet and I was by myself and it just hit me. I slid down the wall and just sat there with my head between my knees and just cried and cried and cried. It was sad.

Did it take you a while to get over?

I got over the sadness part pretty quick. I came home and everybody was excited to see me, but the feeling part is still there. My heart still thinks about Bret everyday.

Did you go into the show with an active romantic interest in him?

No. Not at all!

What led you to the show, then?

Why not? I was open and available to anything that could happen, whether it be fun or romance or just meeting cool people. I couldn’t come up with a valid reason not to. Like, just go try. I never expected to like Bret the way I did, but after a few weeks, I was like, “Oh no. I’m falling for this guy. Are you kidding me?”

Your sister was on Survivor. Reality TV now runs in the family.

It’s an odd coincidence. I wasn’t seeking it out at all. Casting people came up to me in Cincinnati one night when I was out. My sister talked me into it. She told me to do the on-camera audition. Since they’re always casting for so much, this way they’d have me on camera. I thought she had a point there. I thought Rock of Love was something I could never do that because there’s two things you need to do on that show: kiss Bret Michaels and dance on a stripper pole, both of which I would never do. (Laughs)

Is it going to be hard to see Bret again at the reunion?

Hard, but I’m excited. I know I should be like, “You didn’t pick me! You don’t like me!” but no. Not me. You spend all that time developing feelings for someone and just because you’re no longer filming it, that goes away? If you felt it and it really was coming from the right place, it doesn’t go away. I still think about Bret. I have a very romantic idea about him. I miss him. I feel like he was one of those guys I could be pals with and have a crazy fire with. I felt physically, there was some major chemistry. When it was over, I realized I was never going to kiss him again. I was never going to see him. There was no more laughing about dumb stuff. It was just over. There was a ring and I was ready. Hook, line, sinker, I was there. You love someone enough that you could actually see yourself married to them? And then it goes away like that? Next! No, that’s not me.

So you love him?

I am…still…yeah. I did fall in love with him. I did. I know people are going to think that’s completely insane coming from a reality show, but I really did. Everybody who knows me knows that the only reason I did and said the stuff I did was because I love him.

Any regrets about falling out with Taya?

No. I was honest about my questions with her. I was just trying to level with her: “Here’s what others are seeing. I want you to understand.” I thought that because we were friends, maybe she’d under stand it coming from me. But she was not open to it, not willing to accept imperfections. “I don’t have insecurities.” Everyone has insecurities. That’s just unrealistic unless you’re a robot. How can you be in a committed, loving relationship and not admit your faults? It’s part of what makes a relationship great.

So you don’t look back on that friendship with any sense of regret?

I didn’t go there to make a friendship, I went there for the possibility of falling in love with someone. At some point, the friendship was going to get in the way. I could pick one or the other. You can’t be best buds with someone you’re competing with for love.

Was it mistake bonding as closely as you did?

I had questions about her much earlier than anyone knew, I just didn’t voice them until I had valid reasons to back them up. I didn’t want to start shooting off at the mouth all the time: I don’t like this person, I don’t like that person. It takes a lot for me to voice negative thoughts about someone and I knew at that point I had to say it or my behavior wasn’t going to make sense to anyone. But I did have questions and I still do. I felt like her tears came from a place of not necessarily losing Bret, but losing in general. “What am I gonna do if I can’t compete with this little Kentucky girl?” I never saw that smitten look in her eye. I never saw her heart breaking at the thought of not being with him. I just saw her hating the idea of losing the competition. And that’s when I spoke up.

Do you think it’s going to last with them?

No.

No chance?

No. Not unless she gets a different personality.

It was pretty brutal when your property was destroyed, or at least soiled by salsa…but you’re already laughing at the mention of it.

(Laughing) It was funny. You expect stuff like that on that show. It was horrible because it shows their lack of maturity, to get off on destroying someone’s property. Like, how old are you? But I’ve watched the show. I expected a lot worse a lot earlier. It was just salsa. They could have taken scissors and cut everything up. I was kind of laughing at how stupid they were to do something that ignorant.

Are you happy you did the show even considering your heartbreak?

Oh yeah. My heart isn’t broken to the point of devastation. It’s just I’m truly disappointed. I really cared for Bret.

Keep up with Mindy via her MySpace.

U know what Mindy u are classy and Bret loves trashy that’s why he choose that skanky washed up ho, ho…U can do so much better….keep up your innocence

Angela Sepos April 14, 2009 at 7:08 pm

Mindy
I watch this show faithfully, I have seen every episode since day one, season one! I cannot believe he picked Taya, maybe when he sees that she was wearing a penthouse shirt the whole time he might think! I hope that Brett kicks himself for not picking you because I am sure when we see the reunion she will break up with him!

sammi April 14, 2009 at 8:19 pm

i love you mindyyy
your too pretty.
and i love your voice:)

Anne Mendiola April 14, 2009 at 8:21 pm

Ugg! so upset for you that Bret picked TAYUK!! she fake cried the whole season! Mindy you are real, you represent what real women feel like everyday, we are not perfect 24-7 like Taya tried to portray! you are a strong women that gave her opinion and stood up for herself, and i think that scared Bret, he wants a picture perfect women that jumps when he snaps his fingers. i’ve been a fan of his for along time and he had truth standing in front of him and he walked away from it!! BRET come on, Mindy you are beautiful inside and out!

Deborah April 14, 2009 at 8:29 pm

I was never so shocked in the past with the Rock of Love
but I was totally shocked that Bret picked Taya. I never saw any connection between them. Mindy was the only person on that show that had any inteligence, class, and morals plus was down to earth and honest. I thought Bret would have learned a lesson by now, but for him being what 46 years old, has not. Taya did care about him at all. Watching the show that was all she had talked about. Bret does not want to settle down and he knew she was not the one. He only picked her because she was Penthouse of Year. “More publicity!”
I am very disapointed with Bret Michaels. He said this would be his last show and he was really looking for love this love this time but he apparently is not.
Mindy was the one he should have chosen.

brandy April 14, 2009 at 9:17 pm

mindy you was the best girl for him he’s crazy for not pickin up i thought you all would had been perfect for eachother but that’s alright girl you deserve so much better …..

Cathy B April 14, 2009 at 11:07 pm

You were great on the show Mindy. I picked you after watching the first show. I agree Bret and Taya will not survive. Her penthouse career is always going to be more important to her. Obviously she was not as into him as you and she was a complete phoney. I wish you luck in the future. You are a beautiful girl and deserve so much more. Also, I’m a survivor fan and I’ve never missed one since it started, who was your sister, which season? Good luck!!

kgil April 14, 2009 at 11:15 pm

you were the best pick for him. it is sad that it happened but life goes on

Gina April 14, 2009 at 11:22 pm

both of the final girls sucked. Neither one was right for him.

kimberley April 14, 2009 at 11:32 pm

i think that mindy was the best person for him but he is like all the other men out there. all they want is the center fold. not the girl next door. he picked the striper of all stripers.

tirana April 14, 2009 at 11:58 pm

i personally think bret should have chose mindy. i love her.

Cheri April 15, 2009 at 10:05 am

I watch alot of Vh1 shows from Rock of Love Bus to Tough Love,As far as Rock of Love Bus or anything that deals with Brett Michaels I will no longer. Watching all of the shows that Vh1 has put on for him,It shows that He has no respect for Women,I feel if he really meant to find true love he would have pick Mindy But he chose instead of the girl next door as he put it on his show,He decided to pick someone that has posed nude for everyone to see I feel Brett Michaels should be ashame of himself. Also Brett Michaels I hope that he does read this you being parent also being a roll model you should show better class then what you do on TV,If i was your child i would be Embarassed to let people know you are my father.Mr Michaels instead of letting all see what a party person you are I feel with your status you should show the younger generation on How they shouldnt live like that I will no longer waste my time watching anything that you do also i refuse to buy your music or let my kids hear it Unless you show that you can be better person then I will think about it…Hope for you that you show the world you can change

Sessie April 15, 2009 at 2:31 pm

It is so obvious that Bret isn’t looking for a long term relationship. Mindy was the ONLY choice for long term. Taya is not a real person. She is like a robot who doesn’t show any kind of true emotion. He will NEVER know the real her. She has a lot of hidden issues that will never surface. You can see it on her face. What a waste of a season to see him choose her. Even Ambre and Heather chose Mindy as the one. It won’t last!!!!

sarah April 15, 2009 at 5:49 pm

girl i rellly think that u were better for him i relly wish that he pick u

LLL April 15, 2009 at 7:37 pm

Wow Mindy, I can’t believe you still care for Bret. He used you and you should be ashamed of the way you acted. You knew better than anyone else that Taya was better for Bret. She understands his world and isn’t a whiner! I’ll bet you regret Bret exploring your “virgin territory” now. Guess you got it in the &%)&~_`*@`((&~% twice. You got what you deserved because you are a petty hateful tramp. Good luck on your next reality show.

Erin Elizabeth April 16, 2009 at 12:19 pm

I just wanted you to know that I watched that show from day one…with the initial photo shoot, i so thought you had it. i was so mad when i realized that he didnt pick you. you were so beautiful standing on the beach i thought…”how could he say no to that?” Instead he picks the baby that cries about everything, one that can’t take a joke, and has more issues than she knows if she can’t admit faults or insecurities. TOTAL ROBOT! I know its bad to wish misfortune upon someone but i hope it doesnt last so that he realizes what a mistake he made.

I lived in N.C. for quite a few years growing up so I definately knew where you were coming from. I know live in fridgid-a** cold Wisconsin, but i know that women from ‘down south’ are always genuine and from the heart. We dont hide who we are like Taya…or whatever her REAL name is…we wear our hearts on our sleeves infront of those that we care about because we want them to love us for who we are, not who we think they want us to be.

MJ April 16, 2009 at 12:30 pm

I think Taya is too good for Bret. Just because she’s a center fold doesn’t mean she’s fake. Mindys boring and a whiner. Little girl thinks because she $%#&/@ Bret she should be with him. Well honey your not the only &@#* in his life. GROW UP!!!!!!!

Jeanne April 16, 2009 at 9:27 pm

Mindy should be with Bret! Mindy is a real person!
I wanted him to pick her.

Jeri April 16, 2009 at 10:54 pm

MINDY, I THINK THAT YOU WERE THE CLASSIER PERSON FOR BRET. I THINK THAT THAT THE REASON HE CHOOSE TAYA WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS A PENTHOUSE PET. I ALSO THINK THAT HAS BEEN HIS PROBLEM THE WHOLE TIME WHEN HE HAS CHOOSE HIS OTHER ROCK OF LOVE’S. AMBER WAS NICE BUT HER CAREER WAS TOO BUSY FOR THEM TO REALLY HAVE TIME FOR EACH OTHER. YOU ARE A SWEET, DOWN TO EARTH, LOVING AND CARING AND HONEST WOMAN AND I THINK THAT HE SHOULD HAVE CHOOSE YOU TO BE HIS ROCK OF LOVE. I WISH YOU THE BEST THAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER YOU AND HOPE YOU FIND SOMEONE THAT TREATS YOU LIKE YOU SHOULR BR TREATED…LIKE THEIR ROCK OF LOVE.
HUGS,
JERI

shades-of-gray April 17, 2009 at 8:20 am

I really liked Mindy up through the episode when the ex’s came. After that, I started liking her less and less each episode…
She is either a really bad friend or a person who only pretends to be someone’s friend cuz no one else likes her. Either way, not good…
She became way too clingy, clueless, and showed distinct emotional/psychological problems!! Even if you think that Taya is whatever, Mindy and Bret would have NEVER lated!! Taya may have been a Penthouse Pet, but she acted with way more class and dignity. I mean who was it that didn’t screw the final night?? Not Mindy!!
I was so worried that Bret would pick Mindy. So glad he didn’t…
And PS funks don’t go away cuz you have a boyfriend. How ridiculous!!!

brunosgirl April 17, 2009 at 2:04 pm

Mindy, you are a beautiful woman. Bret definetly made the wrong choice! I thought for sure that at 44 he was ready to be with someone who is real and not out for publicity! He has said so many times that he didn’t want to be with another stripper because he had been hurt so much in the past! Taya is the fakest most annoying woman I have ever seen! I think it is so sad that you fell for him! I hope that he comes to realize the mistake he made!

renee April 17, 2009 at 6:53 pm

Mindy, I thought that you were the girl for Brett from day one on the show. I was hoping that he would see how fake Taya was and see that you were the girl for him. I guess he likes fake girls. Hopefully, he will have a change of mind when he sees that she was all about the publicity,advertising for Penthouse and advertising her singing skills. Keep your chin up. This is from a fellow Cincinnatian.

michelle h April 18, 2009 at 12:10 am

i wish you would have won mindy

Michelle April 18, 2009 at 9:26 pm

Mindy, in one way I’m sorry you lost, but on the other hand I’m glad you did because you deserve so much better than Bret Michaels!!

melody April 18, 2009 at 11:14 pm

i was always voting for u you are down to earth girl

Marsha April 19, 2009 at 12:38 pm

I wish Bret would have chose Mindy I think she really had real feelings for him. She put her heart on the line and was afraid that it would get broken and it did. I know that is what happens on shows like this but u hardly ever see anyone on a show with genuine feeling like Mindy my heart does go out to her. I wish her well in life. It was Bret’s loss I don’t think he & Taya r going to last.

keniia April 19, 2009 at 1:03 pm

o.m.g mindy u were the best 4 him n i know he will relize that..n dont give up…i hate taya so much bkuz she doesnt even care about him…i wiil b soo mad at him if he doesnt relize that u r better than her… n remember that i will always have ur bak even though i dont know u….TAYA SUCKS AND IS A STUPID SLUT!!!!!!!!!!oh yeah ur soo real not like stupid ummm tayuk..oh add me as ur friend on myspace..

Nic H April 19, 2009 at 2:06 pm

On seasons 1 and 2 he didn’t pick either girls that had been strippers, so maybe this time he thought he would change up his game and choose the retired stripper/penthouse pet. Maybe Bret figured he gave the down to earth girls a chance the last 2 go arounds, why not give the slutty stripper a chance this time. Oh, I am sorry she is not a “Slutty Stripper” she was a “Burlesque Dancer”, my mistake!!

Elle April 19, 2009 at 2:19 pm

awww poor mindy! bret or not she’s still sweet and beautiful! i hope she never changes

lll April 19, 2009 at 2:54 pm

Mindy,
Give up! Your are a birdfaced loser. You could have screamed from the roof tops that you loved Bret and he still would have chose Taya. You are a backstabbing jerk. Taya may have packed preprinted T shirts but you packed lingerie! You admitted you weren’t even sure if you liked Bret and you preplanned to sleep with him. You are and ugly person inside and out. Bret deserves better and that is why he picked the “perfect rock star girlfriend”. People always go for the under dog that is why they wanted you to win but you were not the best choice. GO AWAY!!!!!!!

shedawns April 19, 2009 at 3:42 pm

After watching the reunion show I’m more convinced Bret micheal’s is an @^$#&*$*@!(&&~$ The last show I swore i wouldn’t watch another one of his shows because I thought that he should have choosen Daisy but now i realize Mindy with the love in her eyes was meant to be with Bret instead of Taya!!!! It sadden me that this show is so not real because , Bret would have seen Taya promoting Penhouse and seen that she was for herself and not for him with I believe Mindy was for him and nothing else. I hope that she get her own show too just like Daisy. She deserves to find Real Love and not with some butt head aka.. Bret Micheals.

Annie April 19, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Wow… some people are very rude to this poor girl. I personally know an ex of Mindy’s and although you’d think we’d all be against an ex of a friend, we were totally FOR Mindy being picked. She seemed very sincere and in love with Bret. We could all see it on the show. How could he not??? One day he will grow up and realize he just made the biggest mistake of his life.. and you may have already moved on! Too bad for his loss. We were really rooting for you!

Kara April 19, 2009 at 5:37 pm

That ending put a damper on a great Easter Sunday. I could not believe that her picked Taya over you. I am still in shock and do not think that was the end of the two of you. You were my favorite choice from the begining of the show. His ex-Amber and friend Heather even thought that you were the best match for him. I did not dislike Taya but I think that if he was truely looking for love, he would have picked you!!! He has had many Taya’s and they clearly they never worked. I love Bret but believe the saying that the definition of stupied is making the same mistake over and over and expecting a different outcome. I hope the two of you find your way back to each other because I really believe that you two compliment each others personalities well and would make a rock of LOVE not lust. Good luck!!
Kara

Dawn April 19, 2009 at 9:16 pm

Mindy,

You are awesome! Bret totally regrets not picking you and I think he will be running to you shortly. You are a beautiful girl with a great personality and a heart filled with love. I know Bret realizes the mistake he made after the show tonight. Your kiss was hot and your feelings for each other are real. Best of luck! If Bret doesn’t come to you, he’s just crazy!

Best Wishes!

Kim April 19, 2009 at 10:47 pm

Brett was a fool not to pick you! You are beautiful inside and out. I do not think it will work out with Taya!

Tania April 19, 2009 at 11:06 pm

Hello, Mindy! You´re a winner. You were always honest, not like fake Taya. Brett made the wrong decision if he was looking for love. This relationship, I know it would not last. You were the right choice, but too good for Brett. Apparently he was looking for trashy, stripper, looking for attention..Taya. Wish you the best of luck. And hoping you find true love!

Jolene Conlin April 20, 2009 at 12:37 am

Mindy I just watched the reunion show and I really think that you and Bret still have a chance at true love and not lust like he has with Taya. My heart was breaking for you when I saw the expressions on your face but you finally told Bret that you are completely in love with him so maybe there is still a chance for ya’ll. Good luck girl. You still have a chance at the ring you picked.

Lisa April 20, 2009 at 2:13 am

Dear VH1 producers:

Mindy deserves a happy ending.
Forget about “Daisy of Love”.
Let’s see “Mindy of Love”.

TexasGirl April 20, 2009 at 2:45 am

Mindy, I would not like to have a friend like you. You are a two-faced fake friend. You talked about Taya like a dog behind her back as soon as you realized she was your true competition. Every chance you got, you talked about Taya. You missed your chance with Bret because instead of talking about your relationship with him, and the feelings you have for him (which should come naturally for you if you really cared for him), you talked about all of Taya’s faults. On the show, you were not down to earth, you were not nice, you were not sweet, or a good person. For some reason, you had it in your mind that you were better than Taya…NOT! Regardless of whether Taya was in Penthouse, rehearsed, too perfect, or whatever excuse you want to have about why you are a better person than Taya, she won. I saw her as a very talented, multi-faceted woman, who certainly had more in common with Bret than you did. Stop resting on pretty, and use your 15 minutes of fame to do some self-reflecting.

Katy April 20, 2009 at 9:18 am

I just watched the reunion and my heart goes out to Mindy. She and I are so much alike. When my heart has been won by someone so dear and true, my heart skips a beat or two, then, I become absolutely lost for words and it’s not because I’m dense or slow, or have no emotions and a caring, loving heart, it just my heart is so caught in the moment of truly, madly deep love, I end up speechless, but my eyes, my heart and my touch tells all. Bret was just too blind to see that in Mindy. Any man who wins her heart is a lucky man.

You have my support sister!!

Theresa April 20, 2009 at 2:46 pm

Mindy just want you to know I feel your pain I could see it soo much on the reunion show. Your the kind of person I would want as a friend. Funks and all. Maybe someday he will realize what a mistake he has made. Remember you are a bueatiful down to earth girl that any man would be happy to have. Keep on being you.

judi April 20, 2009 at 3:21 pm

mindy, you are the one I picked for Bret, You just look better with him. That kiss you gave him on the reunion that was not a I miss you kiss, that was awesome.

I hope he sees that he was wrong.

Sheila April 20, 2009 at 3:31 pm

Mindy,
I have written to Bret and I hope he reads them. He made a very big mistake by chosing Taya instead of you. During the reunion special he kissed you and you told him you love him. He said if you would have told him sooner his choice might have been different. Everyone could tell there was chemistry between you and Bret. The way he was with Taya—there was no chemistry there. I want you and Bret to be together. You would stand behind and beside him in all things. Everyone made such a stink about your “funks”. Well, you had your feelings exposed and on your sleeve. You were real. You were showing real emotions, not fake like Taya. Taya is used to being in the spotlight and on photos and hell naked. She is used to acting. You are not. You found love and I pray that Bret will swallow his pride and admit to making the wrong choice. He needs to call you and make it right before it is too late. I hope he does not think you can just be friends. When I wrote on his blog I told him if he thinks ya’ll can be close friends it will hurt you even more. Every time you see him with someone else it will be like a knife in your heart. He needs to wake up and realize YOU ARE THE LADY FOR HIM. You could be the “arm candy” he needs in public and you could be “whatever” he needs behind closed doors. He made a terrible mistake by letting you go. If there is a way for you to get in touch with him, please do. Just because the show is over does not mean anything. I bet if you call or write to him and tell him how you feel without cameras all over the place, I bet something special will happen. Taya can not say she loves him. Even during the reunion show, she just nearly told everyone, she does not feel the same. You have not changed your mind. You still love him even now. LET HIM KNOW. He is going to have to swallow his pride, but I think he can do that. I’m sure you two will make it as a couple if he will give you that chance. He said he does not want another reality show. Well, if he chooses you—he will never have to look for love again. You have enough love to give him. Watch the reunion show and see the difference between how he kissed you and how he kissed Taya. That should tell you how he feels about you. Go to him. Don’t take this lying down. You are a very strong woman. GO GET YOUR MAN. He belongs with you. In the long run–Taya will not be around. You and Bret can make it thru the long run. Let him know OFF CAMERA that you love him and still want to be with him even though on the show he chose Taya. Tell him that his kiss told you he loves you and not Taya. Hell, that kiss told everybody. This is the only time I have ever blogged anyone, but I had to let you and Bret know that it should be YOU & BRET. Please let me know how things go.

molly April 20, 2009 at 5:56 pm

ok Bret goes through women like toilet paper. He is never going to settle down which is sad. He keeps on bring these girls on the show and messing with there emotions …that is not right

Jennifer April 20, 2009 at 6:43 pm

I can’t stand Mindy. She is a whiner and seems high maintenace, emotionally anyways. If something isn’t the way she wants it she cries and blames other people. She also needs constant attention and validation so there is no way she could have been with Bret. Taya was the right choice. Why hate on her just because she is a strong, put together woman? Haters!

Nate April 20, 2009 at 6:45 pm

As a guy Mindy is too much work emotionally. What a train-wreck. Go team taya!

Stephanie April 20, 2009 at 8:02 pm

Mindy he was very stupid to pick Taya over you. You are the perfect fit for him. She is so fake and she is only using him to further her career. I prayed he would pick you and very upset when he didn’t. To me you deserve better. Good luck

KRS April 20, 2009 at 9:16 pm

Hey Mindy, I was routing for you and I thought you were perfect for Brett. I think Taya was a upity snob who thought she was perfect and above the rest. she had no real feelings for Brett but, competeing in a competition and eager to win. She acts like a spoiled brat who wants everyone to feel sorry for her. She is a good actor for self pity. I have watched all of Rock of Love 1, 2, and 3. You have been the best girl for Bret. I am sorry that Bret seems to make the repeatedly the wrong choices. I think he either does not truely want to commit and settle down and is going through a mid life crises because he is in his late 40′s. Maybe this is a ego boost for him. Ot, he is trying to boost his career and popularity by doing these reality shows. Don’t worry not everyone stays on top and popular all the time. And if they do, not in a positive way. Like Michael Jackson, maybe Brett will be remembered for doing reality T.V. series because he can’t grow up lol. Anyways, you are young and have a long life ahead of you. You will meet a prince charming and have a happy ever after. Brett is only 1 fish out there and there is alot of fish in the ocean. Better looking ones with more money and have a better heart. Take care and good luck to you in the future.

Mindy, Brett can have Taya who is using him for a career and popularity. He is using her for a toy. It will never work. If e really wanted to settle down and get married he would have picked you. He really makes me sick the way he tested you all with revealing any skeletons in the closet. His is full and probably needs a closet the size of Disney Land. Shame on him. He is no angel. When he came on the reunion show, he looked scruffy, dirty, not shaved. Almost like the real Brett. He probably stank from not bathing for a week too. Lord only knows what STD’s he is carrying. He is no prince charming. He should be on a reality show for washed up Rockers you know has beens. Like the 1 hit wonders of the 80′s. If Brett needs to find love on T.V. he has definitely got problems. Or alternative motives….maybe a career move.

Mindy, This if for you, this is what I sent to Brett’s page. You belong with him, not that other ego stroking, fake, money seeking, two bit __ __ amp.

I hope you will give Mindy a chance. Maybe she didn’t let you know how she felt verbally for fear of pushing you away. After all, I really don’t recall you saying to her you were falling in love with her? And why not?Mindy seemed to be reserved with her emotions, but who wouldn’t be after being hurt. Yes, everyone gets hurt at some point in their life, but not everyone deals with it the same way. Some keep the walls of protection up for a reason until they feel the emotionally secure with the opposite person, and for Mindy, she was in competition with another woman, and it wasn’t like she didn’t know it was happening either to where she could feel at ease verbalizing her feelings. I’m sure your thinking that should have been more a motivator, but think about it. Behind closed doors she showed that to you, did she not?? The connection she made with you then should have been enough to prove she was deeply connected to you in a deep emotional way than just wanting to sleep with you. She is far too down to earth of an individual for that. Either way I wish you could really reanalyze your decision now that Mindy has told you how she felt. She has absolutely nothing to gain with you other than your love, support, respect and admiration. She isn’t a pinup model, stripper looking for the next money deal. She’s simple, kind, loving, giving, respectful, and REAL. Nothing fake to her. Isn’t that what you were in search of? Someone REAL all around. Not just putting on a show in front of you, but someone who can be who she really is without trying to impress others.
As for Taya, of course she knows how to stroke your ego, isn’t that part of her everyday living as a pin up girl and a stripper? I have nothing against her profession at all. I do believe people make their way through life with opportunities they are given. You can either choose to accept or walk away and hope something better comes along. No doubt she’s a beautiful lady. But realistically you were looking for someone to love YOU not stroke your ego. I’m 99% sure my opinion doesn’t mean much, but your choice of women seems to be be the pin up, stripper, breast implant, beautiful by way of plastic surgery, very fake kind of women.
Either way, Good luck to you. I pray you will find that love. Everyone deserves it.
