Line 7:
Flavor of Love is a [[VH-1]] "Celebreality" show. It centers around [[Public Enemy]] [[Face of the Band|Hype Man]] and [[Large Ham]] Flavor Flav finding true love after his breakup with Brigitte Nielsen ([[Sylvester Stallone]]'s ex-wife). 20 girls were to compete for his heart until only one remained. It didn't work out too well, resulting in not two, but three seasons, each with a new supply of girls. [[Hilarity Ensues|Hilarity ensued]].
The show is [[So Bad
Oh, and? The season 1 girls weren't told they'd be dating Flavor Flav, ''until they'd already been cast.''
Line 13:
Each contestant is given a nickname by Flav (he's admittedly not good with names) and is referred to by that nickname for as long as she remains <s> in the competition</s> on [[VH-1]]. The contestants compete for intimate dates with Flav by partaking in various challenges, ranging from silly to ridiculous. At the end of each episode, the show features a clock ceremony where contestants receive gold clocks to wear around their necks. Flav brings the few remaining women's parents on in the third or second to last episode. Finally, the season finale takes place in a tropical destination. The finalists and Flav spend the last two days at a luxurious resort preceding his final decision.
The whole mess was a [[Star
* ''Flavor Of Love Girls: [[Charm School]]''
* ''[[I Love New York]]''
Line 43:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Flav doesn't like his name misspelled. In the 3rd season, he eliminated a girl because of it.
* [[Better As Friends]]: Flav and Brigitte, Flav and Goldie, Flav and Hoopz.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Sweetie did not take her elimination well. At the reunion show, even ''Flav'' agrees that her elimination was a surprise. In her defense, the other choice was Hottie, who failed the challenge. (They had to cook chicken for his mother. While Sweetie [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|had to overcome fear of chicken to complete the challenge]], Hottie on the other hand [[Epic Fail|placed the chicken in the microwave and set it on "chicken"]].)
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Goldie, Somethin and Like Dat.
* [[Cat Fight]]: Quite a few.
Line 61:
* [[Granola Girl]]: Wire.
* [[Guilty Pleasure]]
* [[Half Truth]]: In Toasteee's defense, the videos she did in college are not ''technically'' porn. They're actually videos of her wearing nothing but a thong, strangling fully clothed men with her thighs. ... [[Or So
* [[
* [[Kavorka Man]]: The picture says it all.
* [[Large Ham]]: Flav of course.
Line 70:
* [[Manipulative Bitch]]: New York, natch.
* [[The Mole]]: Red Oyster, who volunteered to spy for Flav. Also [[Meaningful Name|Eye'z]], who wasn't really a competitor anyway.
* [[Money, Dear Boy]]: In a later MTV interview, Hoopz said she was simply scouted for the show in LA last minute and had a contract a few hours later. Although she genuinely liked Flav, it's obvious that at least a few girls on the show were brought in the same way without so much as a clue who Flavor Flav is.
* [[Non Gameplay Elimination]]
* [[Not That There's Anything Wrong With That]]: New York assures us she has nothing against big girls, apart from hating them. Pumkin says she isn't prejudiced, she just can't understand black words.
Line 88:
* [[Running Gag]]: Every time Hottie blinks, a "ching" sound follows. [[VH 1]] kept this up for ''every'' reality show she appeared in.
* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Many of them.
* [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them]]: Flav does this in Season Two to bring back New York on the show, even though she wasn't a contestant at the time, and ''again'' in Season Three to bring back Thing 2, after she was eliminated. Earlier in Season Three, he allows four girls selected by Saaphyri and Buckwild to enter the competition in Episode Seven.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Payshintz and Buckwild quit due to not wanting to have to deal with Bootz and New York respectively.
* [[He's Back|She's Back]]: New York in Season 2.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Buckwild and Saaphyri in ''Charm School''. Buckwild loses most of the accent and starts acting like a lady, and Saaphyri learns to control her anger and to verbally express herself.
* [[Sibling Team]]: Thing 1 and 2. In the clock cerimonies, Flav even puts a gold clock on both of their necks. Eventually he broke them up as two equal competitors.
* [[Smug Snake]]: Toasteee reveals herself to be one in ''[[I Love Money]]''.
* [[Spin
* [[Spiteful Spit]]: The Infamous scene where after a heated argument, Pumkin spits on New York. Pumkin should be lucky New York only got to push her into a camera.
* [[Stalker With a Crush]]: New York.
* [[Stay in The Kitchen]]: Flav to Hottie. ''Extremely'' justified use of the trope.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife|Ugly Guy, Hot Contestants]]
* [[The Un
* [[Victorious Loser]]: Despite losing two seasons in a row, New York ends up with the last laugh when it comes to success. See [[The Runner Up Takes It All]].
* [[We Hardly Knew Ye]]: Most of the girls who were eliminated in the first couple of episodes.
