Hello fab dolls, this is it - the final Rock of Love! What a rad and excellent trip in a dirty old tour bus! But it's the last stop. If you haven't read our Awards Show recap yet, then you don't know that we met Flasher the other night, she was very cool and she really loves Bret. But I've been on her side for weeks now anyway. And I had a chat with Brandi C.'s Sidekick Kristia, who viewed the finale with Flasher, and filled me in on some behind the scenes gossip as well. So put your hands together one last time...for Rock Of Love!
Congrats. This is your prize.
The hos are packing and getting their game faces on for Cabo. Jes says that Flasher better be ready cause now that she came this far, she's here to win, and Flasher says the claws are out and there's no way she's walking away from him now. Somewhere in the production booth, a producer checks "Exposition About Opponent's Chances" off on a clipboard.
Bret tells us we're down to the final two girls, it's a rough decision, he has no idea what he's going to do, blah, blah, blah. He picks them up and they head out to Cabo...on a private jet! Finally! He's only been promising the rock star lifestyle for weeks now. Granted it's no G5, and the three of them really have to squash into it, but at this point, I'm just happy that it's not coach on Aero Mexico.
Why did that woman keep asking if we need anything?
They arrive at another low tier resort property desperate for a little F-list PR. I think it's called the ME Cabo. As they alight from their car, four "hot, sexy girl dancers", as Bret calls them, converge upon them. Bret tells us that he's just enjoying watching them, but Flasher nearly knocks Bret out trying to get close to one of them. Bret muses that he's paying no attention to the hot, sexy dancer girls because he's paying attention to the girls he's with, but one of the girls he's with is too busy paying attention to the girls he's not paying attention to. Whew, weave logic. Got that?
After the show, Bret commands them to go to their room. He's got a beautiful dinner planned for them. When will this guy learn? Every other "beautiful dinner" he's foisted upon this crew for the past three weeks has ended in disaster. Hit the tamale stand on the way to the tequila, and be done with it. The Bachelor's back now, leave the beautiful dinners to them.
The girls are both wearing cowboy hats, and it looks like Flasher's may have some pink flames painted on hers. Are Flash and Bret a match made in the janitor's closet doubling as backstage dressing room at the county fair or what? As they get ready for the dinner, Flasher tells us that she needs to show him all her different sides, and how passionate she is about being with him. One S says that striking up a confrontation isn't her, but if the line producer asks her nicely and provides some touch up for her roots, oops, I mean, if she has to for Bret, she will.
They head out to the dinner. Bret's still on the white button down and jeans look, accentuating his spray on tan. He christens them "The Terrific Two". What a way with words. They don't have to have a collective nickname, you know. The hos shoot each other death looks from across the table. Nobody says a word. Bret fills us in that there's tension. Impressive, he knows them so well.
My neck still hurts, bitch. He's mine!
"There's bread here," Bret helpfully offers at the table. Sure, that should neutralize the situation. He nibbles at a piece, eyes darting from ho to ho, just waiting for the psycho to erupt. His heart is pounding. Finally, he launches into his questions that need to be answered.
He turns to Flasher first, and tells her he's worried about her with other girls. He thinks she's a party girl. As was made clear from all the prior elimination challenges, like dumpster diving for guitar picks and posing nearly nude, Bret is looking for a serious girl. Duh, everyone knows that changing clothes in the porta-potty is a sure sign that the party is over.

yeah chickbomb! thanks for the recap. i cringed for poor flasher when he chose pink ho over her. i would love to hear more about the behind the scenes gossip. and off course pink ho would have dropped his skanky diabetic ass 2 minutes after she was paid. hell, she's only 23! this was truly the BEST EVER trashelicious reality show ever. looking forward to the reunion show.

Brett looked a little off this episode. Does he have diabetes or something?
2 of 28 | Posted by swimbikerun | Posted on October 4, 2007 3:15 PM
I'm not sure if Bret is clever enough to come up with this as a way to pick the right ho for him, but I totally thought the "will you both be my girlfriend" question was his way (or VH1's way) of making Bret out to be 80's hair metal's version of King Solomon - Flasher lost because she was down for splitting the baby:(
3 of 28 | Posted by gophergirl9 | Posted on October 4, 2007 3:26 PM
Gophergirl9 - that's *exactly* what I thought about the whole "Will you both be my girlfriend?" thing! And it obviously worked. Maybe. Sort of. For the camera, at least.
I'm not sure whether or not to believe all of Heather's protests that she never said or did any of the things they showed her saying and doing this last episode. I'm sure there's a lot of editing that goes on, but at the same time, I can see *anyone* in her position (ie - made to look really bad - and then lose the guy) insisting she wasn't that bad, just to save face.
Who knows? Who cares? I'm just sad it's all over.
Can't wait for the reunion show!

'does he have diabetes?'
hahah,swimbikerun .....i love that. I kept crackin up through the whole recap whenever 'Brett has diabetes, you know?'
lol...love it.
I love Jes, i think she's is sooo pretty.....but I didn't really want her to win because Brett doesn't deserve her. But i guess from all the rumors, he doesn't have her.

Chickbomb!!! Great recap! Please dont let it be over:( although i was never a big flasher fan she is the best choice for bret, she is a stripper,shes already tagged,and she comes with her own complete set of stripper gowns and lifetime supply of aquanet:)

Loved your recap and comments, I've been waiting patiently for this since Sunday.
When you really think about it, don't you sort of wish he would have picked Lacey? I mean, what if she had beat the other two and ended up as his "Rock of Love" only for Bret to wake up from his diabetes shock (I think he has diabetes), to find all the "normal" girls are gone and he is stuck with Lip Sore Lacey.
The last show could have ended with him and Lip Sore greeting Otis at his home where he gives Bret a tour of his Lacey memoriabilia,you know the Presidential Scholar stuff????
Now that's entertainment.
Can't wait for the reunion.

I'm split on the fact that Jes won. I didn't want her to be sent home with Flasher snickering as she left, BUT I also think Jes was to cute and normal for Bret.
I still don't believe that Flasher didn't say all those things. During the dune buggy date she did ask him twice if he was alright. I mean, if she had to ask him that then she knew something was up. You don't keep asking someone if they're okay, you just try to make them feel better. But whatevs.
But damn, that bitch has the balls to show off the tattoo. That's shameful.

Ha ha ha ha ha to the 80s hair-metal King Solomon! I think Bret was just looking for an excuse to get rid of Flasher. Even though she is much more obviously his type, he seems to want to think of himself as being above strippers.
I kept wishing the final two had been Flasher and Lacey. Sure, Jes can cry about diabetes, but Lacey makes for better TV. She and Flasher would have had some epic reality TV fights in Cabo.

And here I thought only Wilford Brimley pronounced it "diabetuss".

Flasher may claim that VH1 did some creative editing, and I don't doubt that, but I think she's lying. Did anyone notice how when Jes said she wouldn't share Bret, Flasher was shaking her head as if to say, "You're so stupid". I believe 100% she would've done anything to stay. I doubt this whole Jes/Bret thing will pan out. I'm sure they've been planning Rock of Love 2 from the minute Flasher left in a fury.
And dear God, WHAT was with those crazy little braids poking out of Bret's Man-dana during his dinner with Flash? He looked like Pippi Longstocking. I suppose I shouldn't poke fun...after all, Bret has diabetes, did you know?

shuttlecock:
YESSSSSS, wilford f'in brimley! i couldn't quite put my finger on why that bothered me so much...you saved the day.
i really really really want to like flasher, but i can't seem to get past the bitter, burnt out bitch thing. she seems like the kind of broad who'd pick a fight at a bar just for kicks. now i'm not saying i've never done that...i'm just saying i never did it in my 30s.
>
when i was in gradeschool i had a favorite raccoon shirt that had my name ironed on the back. (a la daffy dans). once at a skating party an older burnt out bitch went "hi ker-RRRRRI!" in a super intimidating and sarcastic manner that made me just want to die. yes, it was that traumatic that it still smarts 25 years later. i have a feeling if i were to run into flasher at a skating party today, she'd totally make me cry.
i have issues.

OMG...if I had to hear him say "diabetuss" one more time I was going to scream. Every time he said it I snickered a little bit because I'm pretty sure that's not how you pronounce it. Shuttlecock - great call on the Wilford Brimley pronounciation. I guess we should be thankful he wasn't calling it sugar like my grandma...
15 of 28 | Posted by LNNC92 | Posted on October 5, 2007 6:58 AM
Diabetuss. I almost died everytime he said it. Which was approximately way the hell too many.
I was OK with Jes winning, only because although I felt she was above him and his horrible array of clothing I also felt that she put herself in this position and if she was really lying about loving him, then she could probably stand him for a couple weeks of fauxmance.
It would have been TOO cliche if he'd picked the stripper. They don't make America's Next Top Models and they apparently don't make washed up 80s hairband "rock stars" girlfriends. Sad.
Flash won out---she's got her dogs and we ALL know they're better than messy boyfriends with fake hair.

BTW guys,
Diabetes can be pronounced either way. Surely you didn't think a man, even a rock star who might not be know for his brilliance (although he doesn't seem like an idiot to me in the IQ department) would not know how to pronounce his own ailment that he's suffered from for so many years? Instead of making jokes, why not go to the on-line dictionary (or if you have one, a hard copy) and check it out. We can all learn something, even when we're blowing our time on these blogs.

It can be pronounced either way. Brent seems bright enough to know how to pronounce his own disease. Get a dictionary, either on-line or a hard copy and check it out before we throw stones. That disease is no fun at all. Give the guy a break.

The funny thing is Dizzy that I did go onto Webster's dictionary online and listen to the pronounciation prior to making my post and it said it with a long "E" sound. Oh well...sorry for offending.

Does anyone watch "The Soup"? Joel McHale played Flasher's rant in the Hummer limo about how she has his named tattooed on the back of her neck. "...where it'll be read upside down by other aging lead singers for years to come", Joel adds. Hilarious.
24 of 28 | Posted by TheGreatAndPowerfulShaz | Posted on October 6, 2007 7:57 AM
The Great..., I did catch the Soup and that was hilarious! In the words of Homer Simpson.."It's funny because it's TRUE."

I'm sure Bret has diabetes, and because my sister has it I know it can be trying and difficult to live with, but the whole thing felt a little bit contrived. Maybe he has a different type of diabetes than my sister, but when her blood sugar is low and she's "going into insulin shock" she gets really loopy and out of it and is definitely not cognizant enough to even realize it's happening. And at that point you give her a cookie or juice not a shot of insulin. But who knows, maybe he has a different form and it's treated differently, but the whole thing seemed off to me.
27 of 28 | Posted by SnackyCakes420 | Posted on October 7, 2007 11:54 PM
I agree about the whole diabetes thing, if you aren't feeling right, why don't you test your blood sugar rather than having a big rambling speech about insulin shots. But I think Flasher probably should have won, I mean seriously, she is so perfect for him. She must get her own show asap.
