Straight-up: the best part of my job as VH1′s shows blogger is interacting with the on-air talent. So many of them are natural entertainers that every slip of the tongue and motion of the lips is an act of hilarity. Below, I’ve compiled my 20 favorite quotes and exchanges from the extensive interviews that ran on the blog this year. There’s wit and insight to be found, yes, and at times even poignancy. But more often, it’s just all entirely ridiculous. Hey, gold is gold, right?
Do you want to dress like a reality star? I’m sorry, that’s a stupid question. Who doesn’t want to dress like a reality star? VH1 is obviously known for its fashion more than anything (fun fact: the “H” stands for “haute!”), so it only makes sense that a shoe line has been created in honor of the footwear that has defined this great channel. Or whatever!
But really, Shiekh does have a new Reality Starr line that features VH1 talent like Prancer (Flavor of Love 3/I Love Money 2), Cali (Real Chance of Love/I Love Money 2), Jessica (Rock of Love/Rock of Love Charm School), Lady (Real Chance of Love 2) and the always-radiant Luscious (For the Love of Ray J 2). Check out the video of the shoot below. The best part is when Lady is talking about her music career: “I had a dream that Lil Wayne was on my remix, so that’s my motivation to keep going.” Keep reaching for your dreams or whatever, Lady!
Finished shots of the ladies getting their America’s Next Top Model on are below. See how well they smile with their toes (“smoze” is the technical term).
For the first time since the Real Chance of Love 2 finale, Chance has taken to his Twitter to do something other than plug the new Stallionaires music on iTunes. He started by tweeting about the virtues of being with short-haired women (“MY GIRL HAS TO HAVE CROP IM NOT INTO RUNNING MY HAND THROUGH TRACKS TICKS AND FLEAS”), presumably was called out by some followers for not keeping in touch with Hot Wings and then launched into a rant covering a range of topics. The full transcript (with grammar and caps lock intact) is below, but here’s the best tweet to whet your appetite:
“I thought I was going to be the boring one. I wasn’t trying to start fights, so I thought, ‘Damn. I’m gonna be pretty lame,’” says Mamacita about her time on Real Chance of Love 2. She turned out to be anything but boring. Below, Chance’s first-runner-up talks public rejection, flip-flopping, hate make-outs and peeing in pools.
On the Real Chance of Love 2 finale, Real told Doll that he “definitely” saw her in his future. Now that a few months have passed since the show wrapped, are they a part of each other’s present? Find out below, and read what Doll has to say about her controversial audition tape and why she’s not that innocent.
After a whole lot of arguing and a few spilled tears, Chance picked Hot Wings to be his girl on the Real Chance of Love 2 finale. But where are they now? Below, Hot Wings talks about the state of their relationship, accusations of immaturity and why she’ll always be a Hooters girl.
Spoiler alert!
Real Chance of Love 2 comes to a close Monday at 9/8c in a special 90-minute episode. Get a taste of the finale above, and check out the special press release prepared for this special occasion:
It’s been another wild ride to find love for Real and Chance this season. Deep, dark secrets will be revealed when the boys fly the final five ladies (Mamacita, Hotwings, Doll, Sassy and Pocahontas) to Miami Beach in the shows’ finale on Monday, October 26 at 9PM. The hot sun, beautiful beaches, and starry night skies are sure to ignite romance as the brothers spend one last weekend with the girls, each hoping to find his one true Stallionette.
Perhaps you are aware of the “I’m Not Here To Make Friends” montages on YouTube (the original is here and the ’09 version is here). They’re collections of the many instances people on reality TV say the title phrase (or some version of it), put together by, ahem, someone who hears it a lot. Anyway, it seems that the girls of Real Chance of Love 2 were really, really not there to make friends — enough of them said the phrase to make up a show-specific supercut that was part of this week’s clip show. Get ready to feel all warm and fuzzy, and check it out above.
