Rock of Love Bus: A Whole New Breed Of Ho

Dolls, it's back and we have a lot of skank to cover so I'm not wasting time on the intro. As a very wise man on acid once said, "Either you're on the bus, or you're off the bus." So slather yourself with some body glitter and hop on - this is the Rock of Love Bus!

200901072247
Featuring a whole new cast of crotch bugs.

We return with a shot of...Bret's fake TV McMansion in the Valley? "Inside this LA bachelor pad," the announcer begins, "...nothing was happening." Funny! Because Bret Michaels isn't home. He's out on tour on a bus with his picture plastered on the side. Because this is Bret, after all. And there he is! Reminding us that we know him from Rock of Love 1 & 2. Bret doesn't even bother reminding us of his fledgling solo career anymore.

Bret tells us that he made two wrong decisions with One S Jes and Soccer Mom Ambre, and he was starting to wonder what he was doing wrong. Nothing babe, you've milked the franchise brilliantly. But he sets up Season 3 seamlessly, with the revelation that he spends three hundred days out of the year on the road, rockin' and rollin' and partyin'. Following that logic, how's he supposed to find a girl trapped in a house? So he's packing up twenty subjectively hot girls and taking them with him on tour. Twelve awesome (of course) cities, playing to "legions of fans". Oh hello Ego, I've missed you! Which girl can hang with him and his rock and roll lifestyle, he wonders? We get a few shots of the contenders. Will it be the girl crumpled up on the side of the road? Or the one with the bad weave and her head in the toilet? Oh, the possibilities are wonderful!

You've got my vote, sister!

Bret reacquaints us with his "best bud and head of security", Big John. We see him doing a crack job of running Bret's life, throwing a couple of suitcases onto the bus, only to have one fall right back down. Then we see him cleaning something. "Only one woman can be my rock of love..." Bret reminds us earnestly, "...three," he completes with a smirk, cause he totally gets it.

The opening credits include a bigger chunk of the Rock of Love song than in the past. Oh, I guess we are focusing on the solo career. Someone's renegotiated their contract. The first stop on the tour is the bustling metropolis of Louisville, Kentucky where Bret is no doubt playing the state fair. We hear a few gems from the hos. One warns that if "anyone messes with me, they're in for it." One who tells us right up front that she's different, cool and fun but not too smart. One who's into bondage. And then we get the group shot. Bright, blond weave as far as the eye can see and at least a dozen of the biggest, fakest boobs I have seen in my whole life. I live in LA and I've been recapping this show for two seasons now so that's saying a lot.

Class of Ho9

Bret gives us the rehearsed party line about how it seems like he has it all - living the dream, fame, fortune, insanity...and a great personality. "Or so they tell me," he adds. Oh cute, and we all know what a sweetheart he is on TV, so even cuter. "Rock and roll is the reason and ruin for all my relationships," he quips. Hey, didn't rock and roll used to be "the insatiable bitch goddess?" I guess she's lost some interest now that he's retired the red pleather pants with the matching coat. Reason and ruin. Doesn't quite pack the same punch.

He struts into the dinky little bar where everyone's waiting for him, and the hos go crazy! They yell and scream and make little devil horns with their hands. Bret's been spending some quality time in the tanning booth, and his hair is looking a little plastic. It's got an unnatural shine that you just don't see with the better quality weave. Well, gas was at about $5 a gallon when they shot this, and they went cross-county on that love bus. Guess they had to trim the budget somewhere.

And it certainly wasn't on the makeup lady. Holy Phyllis Diller, Brett!

Tigermilk:

I have found the holy grail of trashy reality television. It is called "Rock of Love, Season 3."

My 50 year-old mother and I watched the premiere together. See? It's a sleaze fest for the whole family! After last season's bore fest too, this season is already a HUGE improvement. Brett's barbie hair, his idea that a woman shows interest in a man by taking her shirt off on their first meeting, "I need a girl that can hang," and ChickBomb recapping. All points to AWESOME.

DrJerkass:

I missed the premiere, but it sounds skanktastic. Hopefully VH1 will replay it (every day until the end of time).

I love how the didn't even try to pretend with the "real" girls this time. They went straight for the worn out strippers. It's too bad Flasher Heather is an A-lister now, this would have been her year.

featherhead:

This show is loaded with recapper's gold. I've been waiting for this recap and you did not disappoint! Nikki looks like a cross between Daisy and Frenchy from last season. I died at Brazil's confession about choking Trashly. YOU DON'T WASTE ALCHOL LIKE THAT EVER!! I guess throwing it up is okay. Note to self: No more twatshots!! Even Bret has some standards!!!

shan_evans:

I re-played it about four times and Gia was up on the bar sans underwear and DJ Lady Tribe Nikki decided to slip the test tube shot up Gia's hoohah and take the shot that way.
If you can skeeve out the seemingly unskeevable Brett Michaels you are really definitely a new breed of ho!

slutty_whore:

OK, I can't even take the ridiculous-ness that is ROL, but I'm back... and as far as Natasha being a token, it's no different than Flavor Flav having a white girl on his show. He just masked it by having more than 1 per season.

wintersux:

Gawd, DJ Lady makes Frenchy look absolutely feminine and ladylike...that is pretty damn sad.

casey:

I spent almost the entire show trying to figure out who Juliette Lewis' voice reminded me of....finally figured it out....Napolian Dynomite's brother. So funny!

itchy:

Hmm, bet you Juliet Lewis is going the regret singing that song...the Brazilian chick is nuts--and awesomely beautiful. She's going to be around for a while.

But as much as Bret claims to love the party girls, I don't buy it -- he looks awfully damned tired to me, and what he really wants is a calm, older (but still ferociously hot) gal to drink tea with after band practice.

In other words, it's either the Penthouse Pet or the "Grandma" Model (um, she's probably, what, 35?)

I had to take a shower after watching this show. Though I'm looking forward to seeing Gia and DJ Lady on I Love Money 3.

blanketessa:

I'm so in love with this show I can't even stand it. My only disappointment so far came from the preview for the rest of the season--not looking forward to the "keep bret's baby safe" hockey game with that retard Lacey. She can't compete with this season's hos--they're in a league of their own, and I hope whoever did casting for this season gets a big bonus.

I'm so sad that Gia and DJ got eliminated. My favorite of the remaining girls is Marcia. Who doesn't love a crazy drunk? I'm also charmed by the fact that she called the others "skahnky" girls and is teaching the VH1 viewing audience Portuguese. Now if I ever go to Brazil I'll know how to say the word for lady parts. Neat.

J-Mo:

Ahhhhhhh, ChickBoooooomb! LOVED this recap, and I must say I'm a little jealous... I thought *I* had all the best skanks over on MY show, but yours totally tops it (and how is it that VH1 wound up with a trashier show than MTV?) but you are sooooo perfectly nailing them all to the bathroom wall, I LOVE you for it! Welcome back!

love, J-Mo :)
(a.k.a. ChickGay)

P.S. Perhaps the "Shot At Love" skanks of today become the "Rock Of Love" skanks of tomorrow! BINGO!!!

shantigal:

Skankeriffic! Lucky dog. This bunch out-skanks the previous seasons and the other network's attempts to put together a gaggle of whores. What exactly is the term for a group of skanks? A Score? Patch? Puddle? Sniff?

xim34:

thank god chickbomb is back and recapping this tv acceptable orgy! oh how we've missed you and the hysterical recaps...

if only nikki would have stayed!

itchy:

See, I figure the gods at VH1 have been reading Tvgasm and have come to answer our prayers.

Next up: Skanks of Love. 100% skankerific, 100% skankerocious. Guaranteed.

And J-Mo, don't feel so bad...the twins were kind enough to give you your bukkake moment.

itchy:

Aw, J-Mo, don't feel bad: the twins gave you a great bukkake moment, after all.

I'm still trying to get that image out of my brain.

Snootchy Bootches:

The whole crotch shot thing was tv gold! lol I had figured out that Gia was already on the bar baring her vajayjay, but I hadn't considered that DJ had slipped the test tube in there. For some reason, I thought she had poured the shot in there and then slurped it out. Either way... gross.

Did you notice during the concert when they were showing all of the girl/girl action that Juliette Lewis barried her nose (or face) in Gia's privates? And Gia was licking the tops of DJs thighs too. These girls give a whole new meaning to the word skanky. (or skahnky as Marcia would say)

Snootchy Bootches:

Erm.. barried=buried. I blame Marcia for causing me to lapse into phonetic spelling brain. :p

skylarkfreedom:

shantigal, BWAH! Can we please make it a sniff of skanks? That would so make my week. My year has already been made by this show coming back. It manages to bother entertain me and make me feel better about my own life.

itchy:

'Sniff' might be too tame for this bunch. That might apply to the species that populate the Bachelor.

How about: a snatch of skanks?

shan_evans:

OH! Snatch of Skanks for sure...

Snootchy Bootches:

Bwahahahahaha! A snatch of skanks!! Itchy, I know that you already know this.. but I luv you.

shantigal:

itchy:

I knew someone would coin just the right term. Brilliant!!

itchy:

Aw shucks, people...I'm blushing...

pappy44:

Does anyone else think DJ is the love child of Destiny and Frenchy? :)

flowie623:

I get drunk and watch the Shamwow commercial over and over too! I really want one. Does anyone know if they really work?


I also completely agree with the Daisy/Frenchi love child. As soon as I saw DJ Lady that was my immediate thought!

reckless_saturn_11:

did anyone else feel like this episode was similar to the first week of american idol? when american idol shows a bunch of freaky, horrible singers just to proved the audience with laughs. for the show to be legitimate none of these singers can stick around, but they can have their brief 15 minutes of fame. just enough to proved some yucks. when i was watching nikki, the red swimsuit wonder, this thought was just running through my head. it was a complete and total set up.

also the words of chickbomb were running through my head the whole show, but no more so than when the shanks were dancing on stage. and i saw a bunch of the girls dancing with each other and then when nikki went to dance with another band member. my first thought was the ego isn't going to like this. and then i thought oh my, she doesn't know who brett michaels is, that is the wrong person.

thanks for coming back to recap this. it makes me happy!

Snootchy Bootches:

Reckless, I dunno if it was a setup... after all, there is very little difference between Daisy from last season and Nikki from this season. Fake lips, hair and boobs. Can't understand what she is saying. Drunk and skank.

And while I am on the topic of Daisy, I have to admit that I don't think I can bring myself to watch her spinoff. I mean, I disliked New York in a way that was entertaining and I watched all of her spinoffs, but Daisy isn't fun to watch. She is just... ugh.

itchy:

Ah, reckless, of course it's all a setup -- the ROL people were probably so scared shitless that they'd have another boring season like ROL2, they went a wee bit overboard on stacking the deck...the DJ skank could barely stand up what with all the 'legal' drugs she must have taken.

And of course if she and Gia hadn't been there, the world would have been deprived of the invention of the 'vag-shot'....can't wait to see that defined in Wikipedia!

I agree on the Daisy call: she was barely articulate on ROL, and rather pathetic really. I just don't see her being interesting at all. I mean, that weird quivering thing she did is only entertaining for so long... Still, just imagining they type of meathead who'd WANT to be on her show is going to make me want to watch it...just can't help myself. A skank's a skank...

hmm...so what's the masculine word for skank anyway?

Snootchy Bootches:

How about the word "man?" After all, would you guys ever really turn anyone down? I kid. I kid. :p

Donna Martin Graduates!:

Another slut-tastic season of ROL -- YAY! Great recap, dollface!

Apart from the Brazilian chick being a clone of the Russian Tank Ina and several of the skanks channelling some sort of ghastly experiment-gone-wrong involving Daisy+Frenchy, it looks like a promising and suitably trashy tour.

And yeah, I just couldn't believe my eyes every time yet another chick showed up with blonde hair and basketball-sized boobs.

Damn!

Donna Martin Graduates!:

wait, The Ego "spends three hundred days out of the year on the road, rockin' and rollin' and partyin'" -- so how come he's so hoarse after a single gig?!

itchy:

"On the road" isn't the same thing as performing... according to his web site, his 'tour' consists of 15 dates at a bunch of backwater casinos and fairgrounds.

Which has to be kind of sad for him, considering the arena crowds he used to play in front of.

I almost feel sorry for him. [sniff].

reckless_Saturn_11:

I heard gia on a radio station and she said the scene between her and hot mess, nikki was just edited to make it look like something it wasn't. although her explanation of what really happened didn't make much sense. something about nikki dropping the shot on her face and then gia licked it off. who knows? I have the link for the podcast if anyone wants to hear it?? the guys interviewing her know her. from when she worked for them.

Snootchy Bootches:

If Gia said that, I'd have to call bullshit on it. After all we have at least 3 girls AND Bret mentioning that private parts were involved. Marcia even went so far as to teach us the name for the body part in Portuguese! :p

BlahBlah:

Ok woooow. I thought I was gonna get away from this season but you reeled me back in. For a change, I'm actually watching the show (while reading your recap).

Nikki is Daisy part deux. And I agree with your pick for the season. Go (fake)Heather!

Why are they making the hos put their own luggage in the bus? That's hella cheap.

Token black chick is a man.

AnneM:

Chickbomb you ROCK!! Excellent work.

I thought this episode was a freak fest of skanks. It seems that they should probably come out with a new word for these women.

And the Gia and Niki shot thing? Please they even grossed out the other skanks!! That's something that we haven't seen since the girl on Flavor of Love shit her pants after eliminations.....

I wonder how long it will be before the bus drivers quit.

xim34:

Is anyone else as sad as I am that this will be the "last" season of ROL?

Can we please please have a Big John of Love?

"Will you stay in this house with me, and make big love?"

kygirl93:

Just wanted to clarify--I am from Louisville and I know what Brett was in town for and it wasn't the State Fair...it was "LRS Fest" a big concert put on every year by our big "new rock" radio station...obviously MUCH classier than the State Fair...
