The Anti-Love Connection
VH1 may be good at drawing ratings for its Celebreality programming block, but apparently the network’s track record on matchmaking is not so hot. First, Flavor Flav failed not once but twice to find his true love on the outrageous Flavor of Love. Then, poor misunderstood Tiffany Pollard (a Flavor of Love castoff) failed to meet her Prince Charming on that you show you just couldn't believe that you were watching, I Love New York.
Apparently, the VH1 curse may have struck once again. Rumor has it that Jes Rickleff, the winner of Bret Michaels’ heart on Rock of Love, has already dumped him. The former Poison front man supposedly was told by Jes (via telephone) that she's found herself another man. Isn't that sweet?
Inexplicably, the finale of VH1’s Rock of Love ended up as the second-highest rated show among the 18-49 demographic ever in the history of VH1. This fact begs the question… why? Rock of Love was everything that Flavor of Love and I Love New York were not: dull, lacking in drama, void of humor, and generally uninspired.
VH1 has reported just ordered a second round of Rock of Love (although Bret Michaels' participation has not yet been confirmed). I don’t know about you, but I'm in no rush for more Rock; instead, I’m counting the days until the return of New York and Flav.
See you on Monday, New York!
“Brother”-ly Love
While we're on the subject of ratings... the better ratings news is that, thanks to some savvy scheduling moves, the season-two premiere of the critically-acclaimed but low-rated Brotherhood nearly doubled its season-one average. In season one, Brotherhood had averaged about 200,000 viewers per episode. The season-two premiere, however, came in at 370,000 viewers… an increase of a significant 85%. Kudos to Showtime for moving Brotherhood from the summer schedule to the fall schedule (Brotherhood is most definitely not a summertime kind of show!), and pairing it up with its sympathetic-serial-killer series Dexter. With this kind of good ratings news, can a third-season renewal for Brotherhood be far behind?
