If it seemed like Flex wasn’t too worked up about not being Daisy’s choice on the Daisy of Love finale, it’s because he wasn’t. In fact, he wasn’t that into her at all. Or at least, that’s what he told us in his post-show interview. Also discussed below: his 12 Pack “bromance,” his fear of pooping around cameras, being referred to as a “god” by his fans, and his casual use of gay slurs.
You didn’t seem too broken up about not being chosen by Daisy.
I had feelings for her but I didn’t like her-like her like that. We didn’t have the connection that she had with London, so I knew we weren’t meant for each other.
Were you insincere when you said how much you liked her?
When you’re in the moment, you say how you feel, I guess. There was a lot of alcohol involved (laughs). She was the only girl in a house of 20 guys. I was sincere when I said I had feelings for her, and I thought she was a great girl. But toward the end, after she brought London back, it was just like, OK. Obviously we know who’s going to win because she had that extreme crush on him in the beginning. The show was over when he walked back through the door.
Is there anything to be said for you just playing the game?
Everybody wants to win, but for me it wasn’t a game. I went there seeing if we had a chance. She’s a cool chick. I had no baggage. I didn’t have a girlfriend or anything that would have dragged me down. Some of the other guys had kids or girlfriends or had been married and divorced, but not me. I was 22, I had a job, I was successful, so I basically wanted to try something new.
So, just to be sure, when you said, “I’m falling in love with you,” you just chalk that up to being in the moment?
Well…yeah. I knew that London and her would not make a good couple. It’s hard to explain because you know that someone isn’t right for her, and even though she doesn’t like you, you still don’t want her to make a bad decision. I knew I would be a better fit for her than London. I knew I could take care of her and not disrespect her like the way she’s been disrespected in the past.
So you don’t think it’ll last with London?
No, I don’t think it’s going to last at all. But I wish them the best.
What about your reputation as a hothead? Do you think that was a fair assessment?
If I’m fighting for a girl and I like her, I’m going to make sure she doesn’t get d***ed over by anybody else. The guys in the house had a lot of stuff they weren’t telling her, and it would just piss me off when they’d open their mouths and lie straight to her face. That’s why I got heated. There’s a lot of stuff people didn’t see that led to why I was so heated in the first place. It doesn’t just come out of nowhere.
Did you get along with most of the guys?
I got along with some of them. I liked Big Rig and 12 Pack. Fox, too. Cage was a good dude. He burned me, but I still like him. We were just both drunk, whatever. I hated everybody else. I hated Chi Chi to death. I wanted to stab him in the face.
Why?
He was such a fag. He was just so gay. I thought he was just putting on a front because he was on the show, like, “I’m a big teddy bear sweetheart stalker,” but then I hung out with him after the show and I realized that he’s always like that. We went to McDonalds and he’s like, “Can I pretty please get a double cheeseburger please?” And I was like, “Dude, you just said ‘please’ twice, and one of those times you said, ‘pretty please,’ to the people at McDonalds.”
So you don’t like him because he’s gay? Are you anti-gay?
No, not at all. I have a lot of gay friends. I have ADHD, so when I say “fag,” I don’t mean gay. I just say “fag” like people say “fag” like it’s another name. When I call one of my friends “fag,” I don’t call them that because they’re gay.
But “fag” is an epithet meaning “gay person,” and when you call someone that to insult them, you’re equating being gay with something negative.
Actually, it’s used in Britain as a cigarette. So when I call my friends that, I’m calling them a cigarette, if you want to put that in the interview.
I’ll put that in the interview, but I don’t believe you.
I just don’t want that gay people to think that I’m anti-gay, because I’m definitely not.
When you called London a “faggot,” it raised red flags for me.
My gay friends call each other “fag” all the time, so how come it’s OK for a gay person to call another gay person “fag,” but it’s not OK for other people to call their friends “fag?”
The reappropriation of hate speech is definitely a complicated issue, and I understand why it feels like a double standard…
It’s a double-edged sword. If people want to take me as anti-gay because I called London a “fag,” well, London’s not gay. Me calling him a “fag” is whatever. If he was gay, and I called him a “fag,” that would be very hateful.
I see your point.
I need to watch what I say, that’s for sure. People do take it the wrong way, and I understand I have a lot of fans and friends and stuff, and I don’t want anyone to feel that I’m disrespectful because of the way that I talk. I’m working on it. Like I said, I have ADHD. My mind runs 7 million miles a minute. That’s why I’m so quick and witty with comebacks. It all just comes to me real fast. If I say something, I often just say it without thinking about it.
That’s why it’s good to talk about this stuff.
Definitely. I’m not hateful, racist, biased, sexist or anything at all.
I thought it was funny that you talked about all the makeup wearing in the house, but then you ended up wearing it yourself. Often.
Everybody makes fun of me because I wore makeup on the show, but I never wore makeup before I went on the show. I went on and had a makeover that Daisy sent us on, and when we came back, she was like, “Oh my god, you look so sexy with eyeliner on.” Since it was a competition, I figured, if she likes eyeliner, I’m going to wear it and I’m not going to care about what anybody else says. Do I wear it now after the show? No, I do not.
What led you to go on the show in the first place?
I have no idea. They found me on MySpace and said if I was interested, I should send them a paragraph on why I thought I was good enough for Daisy. I thought it was a huge joke, so I sent them one sentence: “I think I’m perfect for Daisy because she needs a real man like me and Bret Michaels is an idiot for not picking her.” That was it, no thank you or anything. They thought it was hysterical.
Had you watched Rock of Love?
No, I had to Google Daisy to see what she looked like. Honestly, she wasn’t my type and I wasn’t her type at all, by any means.
So you weren’t attracted to her at all?
I was attracted to her personality, but not physically. I’m not really into fake: fake boobs, fake lips, fake everything. But she was a really sweet girl. When we talked on and off camera, she had intelligent things to say. We talked about her past, and when you do that with somebody, you start to develop feelings for them. I looked at the inside beauty that she had more than her outer beauty. Yeah, she’s a pretty girl, but she’s a great girl on the inside.
Is her inner beauty why you stuck around?
Yeah. I was ready to leave a couple of times.
Were you worried about what was going to happen if Daisy picked you, since you weren’t into her?
Yeah. I would have been a better choice, but I don’t know how I would have did it. We live two different lifestyles. She’s a rock star girl that wants to go out and party and play in a band and do appearances for her whole life, and I’m more a guy who wants a job so that I know I have money coming in all the time, instead of worrying about my next appearance. I just want to set myself up for my future and have a family. She didn’t seem like she cared about that stuff at all.
The finale sort of implies that you had sex on your last date.
We did not have sex. Put that in big bold letters. Daisy is not as much of a whore as people think she is. I never had sex with her. None of the guys in the house did. I’m assuming London has because she’s dating her. That last night, we just ate chocolates and talked about her past and then went to sleep.
Did your sticking around have anything to do with being TV?
No. The first few days I was there, I was freaking out, like, “What the f***? These cameras are following me all over the place.” I couldn’t piss in the bathroom without a camera being in my assh***. I didn’t want to take a crap in the house, because I knew the cameras would know I was pooping if I was in there for more than a minute. I got used to it. Having 12 Pack there loosened me up, too. He told me to just get drunk and be myself and have a good time. I was like, “Sweet.” After a while, I forgot that the cameras were there.
What do you think about the way your “bromance” was portrayed?
I don’t care. Me and 12 Pack do have a bromance, I don’t give a f***. I have a girlfriend, I’m heterosexual, but that kid will be one of my greatest friends and I met him on a reality TV show. If we could do a show together, I think we would put a lot of smiles on a lot of people’s faces.
How long have you been with your girlfriend?
We started dating about a month ago. She was on a reality show, too: The Girls of Hedsor Hall on MTV. Her name is Brianna.
Are you enjoying the “fame” that comes with reality TV?
When you’re a reality star, it’s not like you’re a movie star. People will be like, “Holy crap, you were on a reality show!” It’s like, yeah. I’m just a normal dude. I was a gym manager. I woke up, went to work, came home and partied with my friends just like everyone else does. People have said, “You’re a god!” I appreciate my fans 100 percent, they’re so sweet and s*** like that, but I’m just a normal guy who made it on VH1.
People have literally called you a god?
Yeah, it’s ridiculous.
That is ridiculous. Do you think you’ll stay in touch with Daisy?
Oh yeah, we have. She’s been to Chicago and we hung out and drank. I’ve been to L.A. Me, Chi Chi and Sinister have hung out with her. We’re not supposed to, but we have. She’s fun as hell. She was really worried about London, like, “I don’t know what London’s up to!” It was like, you guys are really serious? They really love each other? It’s ridiculous.
Keep up with Flex via his MySpace.

I came on this web site praying that you were going to have your own show! I couldnt believe that she picked London over you! My mouth seriously dropped. You are like my dream guy! Funny, sexy, have your head on straight and actually give a female respect. You are one of a kind. If you and your new girlfriend dont work out, look me up!!
i really couldnt read all of this but i just wanted to say that tj was a better pick, and i also think that if all these other bimbos can have their own show then he should definately have his own show on vh1. that is a show i can REALLY get into. come on, the guy is fairly hot, who wouldnt want to watch?
must have sucked in bed. So funny it alludes to the fact that you guys %&)`!!!#^_*~+^_~ then ten minutes later your $^^~(%`(~_!@%!+ is sent &&!!%^)~*%__(*#)@ ng. f*ing hilarious sorry dude.
if flex and his girl friend break up…
he should REALLY!!!! GET HIS OWN SHOWWW!!!! i know every single girl in the world would scream every time we see his gorgeous face and body!!!
dayum!!!!
ugh!!! thatss what we are all hoping for!
flex should really have his own T.V show he is so friggen georgous i would love to meet him… Daisy picked the wrong guy!!!
Flex is sooooo hottt :]] seriously i thought he could do way better than daisy because like he said she is fake. and natural looks way betterr but i deff. think he should have his own reality tv show. because honestly the only reason i watched daisy of love is because he was on it. but if u and your girl friend dont work outtt. I would love to meet youuu :]]
I THINK FLEX AND 12 PACK/DAVE SHOULD DO REALITY TV SHOW TOGETHER.IT WOULD BE FUNNY AS HELL.
HELLZ ya i luv how people stay in touch after shows i think its really kool and sounds fun
flex look like a ugly (_&)!`(+@%~%#(~ white bich i no way dasisy did not pick you because she is not gay daisy need to work on makeing you look like a men you look like a ugly women you take daisy mikup
I think Flex is very hot and I am happy that Daisy didn’t pick him because now he can be with someone else. His girlfriend is a very lucky girl. Hope she’s treating him right. (and that she is keeping his ADHD under control) lol j/k
Flex is hot and his girlfriend is very lucky to be with him
I think Daisy and London are perfect for each other. I love flex but there was obvious chemistry between the 2. If London can grow up a little more and not throw BF’s and learn to talk through things and compromise with her he can rock her world ;)
u rock T.J. i really think that daisy made the absolute worst mistake of her life. u were the right one 4 her n it was not kool wat she did. n the thing about the fans thinkin ur sum sort of god is kinda obsessive but dont get me wrong u seem 2 hav a kickass personality n u seem like a really kool dude. anyway good luck with Brianna n i hope u do find love sumday
I normally don’t comment, but I think that Flex should be the next person to get his reality dating show (if, by chance it doesn’t work out with Brianna). He is so funny and I loved his interviews. He also seems very genuine and he would have really awesome chicks to choose from. I am so sick of all of these skanky girls. They are all crazy as hell. I like funny drunky crazy, but not certifiably insane.
T.J. gets my vote for next reality show!
Eh, Don’t worry flex, you’ll find a perfect girl! <3
Flex your hot, hot, hot! I thought you were to good for her any way!
I think ur sexy! If u dont find noone come look me up!
i just have to say that no matter what,i think that daisy chose the wrong guy because sooner or later london is gonna do some *~`)((#^^#%^`+$` and get her vex and then you know it pops up on your vh1 that theres gonna have a daisy of love 2…..she shoulda picked flex or atleast dave a.k.a 12 pack because they were better guys than london….i mean come on….
omg i wasn’t expecting tha like damn.some of it was a bit funny and a bit harsh but that’s him.but i always wanted to ask him what was like to run around in underwear while a skunk was in the house?besides i seened that5 episode too many times and i laughed at every single part.
see ya l8r
p.s. Flex are you afraid of a skunk????:P
I have always liked flex on the show him big rig and 6 gauge were like the only real men there…..with out makeup and the rough fun and manly look to them….Flex is a genuine man i really like how he got mad because it was for the right things… I respect that and him….This was a great show it kept me on my toes…And it was funny @“%*$~+@&%&_&@ !^`%!%!+*$@&(&#^ thanks for being a part of reality T.V
Flex was a better guy for Daisy And he was way hotter
I would definitely watch a show wit 12 pack and Flex!!!!!
DEAR FLEX….
PLEASE STOP TALKING YOU ARE SO PRETTY WHEN YOU ARE NOT TALKING…
well i thought you would win it!you were my dude man, bromance and all you were dreamy. im just a tennessee woman watching tv i think you and 12 pack would make a great reality show i would watch non stop london looked like he needed a bath. need to see more skin of men on tv though that would be awesome bromance looks for love!!!!!
FLEX was always my favroite since day 1. He was funny.He didnt take sh#t.He was real. You dont get to see any of that anymore on reality tv. He was there to give it a shot.
you were definetely the best guy on the show i can’t believe she picked london. really? he to me looked like a low life scrub. nothing hot about that. you on the other hand are gorgeous after awhile i only watched the show to see what you or what you and 12 pack would do next. you kept me laughing and your accent, so sexyy. =] you should get your own show of some sort. =]
i wish i met you. ur sexy
