VH1's 2nd Season of Flavor of Love Begins

Will Flavor Flav find love on VH1’s new season of the series Flavor of Love? Any Flavor Flav fan remembers the super spit hocker cast by peaches into the face of ‘final two’ contestant New York. In a way, the entire show boiled down to that moment, and afterward Flavor of Love kind of fizzled out for many fans, though six million viewers tuned in to see it. But this season is destined to be memorable, while twenty new women vie for time with the hip-hop star.

The original, first season of Flavor of Love was a spinoff of a spinoff. To be completely precise, you have to start at the beginning. Flavor Flav is a rap star from the group Public Enemy. VH1 decided to experiment with reality television by offering several shows, which they called Celebreality. This is the level at which Flavor Flav became involved.

The first VH1 Celebreality show that Flavor Flav costarred on was called The Surreal Life. It was the third installment of the series, this time starring Charo, Flavor Flav, Jordan Knight of the boy band New Kids On The Block, Dave Coulier from full house, Brigitte Nielsen, and Ryan Starr of American Idol. The show was based on the concept of throwing has-been celebs with new celebs and old favorites to see how they deal with living together and completing special tasks, an entertaining concept at best. During this show, Flavor Flav began a relationship with Red Sonya star Brigitte Nielsen. Fans loved this pairing, so it was continued in a new show called Strange Love.

Strange love began in early 2005, but displayed the rough side of the relationship between Flavor Flav and Brigitte Nielsen. It was exposed that Flavor Flav neglects his child support obligations and is not always friendly with his exes. Both were jealous throughout the show and fought a lot. The show ended with Brigitte Nielsen leaving Flavor Flav, whom she called her “foofy foofy” to be with Mattia Dessi, her Italian boy toy. Later, Nielsen married Dessi, though their marriage is not legal due to her never obtaining a divorce from her last husband.
