I had a chance to sit down with Tailor Made, George Weisgerber, from I Love New York 2. Many of you know him as the rich guy who snitches on everyone, but when I sat down and talked to him, he was just a down to earth guy and seemed very genuine about his love for New York.
Nads: What made you be on a show like I love New York?
Tailor Made: I fell in love with New York when I saw her on Flavor of Love. Then, I realized that I had to somehow find a way to meet her and make her mine. I was married when I first saw New York on television, but was head over heels for her. She's just so beautiful. Season One went by of I love New York, and I knew that I had to find her someway. One day, I stumbled across an ad in the N.Y. Post (which I barely EVER read) and saw that they were having an open casting call for I Love New York 2. It was fate. This was my opportunity to meet her. And, now I find myself on the show.
Nads: What was your first reaction when you finally set eyes on New York? You had been trying to find her for so long...
Tailor Made: I was actually speechless and intimidated. I could not believe she was standing in front of me, and was stuck for words. She was so beautiful in person. She was beautiful on television when I saw her, but when I set eyes on her for the first time, I knew I was there for a reason and that was to make her mine. I was in love with New York.
Nads: Why a reality show?
Tailor Made: Well unlike other people that go on these shows to become stars, to gain popularity, and make friends with the other people on the show, I'm here to win New York's heart. I don't need the money or the fame from being on a reality show. I wasn't there to make any friends, or have this big camaraderie with the other guys in the house, I was there for one reason. When I saw that ad in the Post I realized this could be my only opportunity to meet New York, the girl of my dreams.
Nads: You've been known to "snitch" a few times which gets you in trouble with some of the guys and lead to a fight with Buddha. Why Snitch?
Tailor Made: I don't like the word snitch, but I don't have any regrets. I have one purpose on the show, to gain New York's heart. I'll do whatever it takes to win, I'm not here to impress the other guys, or to be a big star. And, I have no regrets about anything I've done on the show. After I spit on Mr. Wise, I knew I should not have done that especially after the way I was reprimanded, I felt really bad. Also, regarding the Buddha situation, I did not see that coming. He's apologized, and I've gotten over it.
Nads: Is there any part of the show they've edited that you're not happy with?
Tailor Made: No, what you see is what you get. They're showing it all, and there is no hiding that.
Nads: What's your relationship like with your ex-wife and how does she feel about you being on the show?
Tailor Made: My ex-wife and I are friends. She and I split for a number of reasons, but she knows why I'm on this show, and supports it. She and New York had a talk and that was a very nervous moment for me. I am grateful that she let New York know that I was on the show for the right reasons.
Nads: Is there anyone you were friends with or have remained friends with?
Tailor Made: Midget Mac.
Nads: I loved Midget Mac, he was so cute.
Tailor Made: I have not kept in touch with him, but he is someone who I have a lot of respect for. I would not mind being friends with him, we had a lot in common. However, we have not kept in touch.
I've got to say Gasmii, that I had such an opinion about Tailor Made snitching and always running to New York about things, but after talking to him, he was the nicest guy, and his love for New York seemed truly Genuine. I'm rooting for Tailor Made now. He was a good reality star, played the game, caused good house drama, LOVES New York and is still in the running!

One thing that I find kind of odd is that Tailor Made constantly claims that he is not on "I Love New York 2" to be famous. If that is the case, why is even doing an interview at all?
Of course, one could say that he is simply trying to elaborate on his time on the show, but he certainly didn't say anthing that I haven't already heard him say on the show about a thousand times, and I barely watch it.
What do you guys think?

To be honest with you, I just think he's a good reality star and that's why I want him to win. But in my opinion he's a reality star in every sense of the word. When I was writing the article, I was like...I'm being too nice, but I want to keep the interviews semi-professional.
When I was talking to him I was thinking that he's playing the game just right to win and get a spin-off with New York if that's what would happen. He's a good business man, so who knows what he has up his sleeve. Don't you think?? So, yes, I'm almost positive that fame has something to do with it, ANnndd, there is a little big of an obsessed factor in there as well.
I really want Midget Mac to get his own spin-off series to find a lady.
