Jezebel: flavor of love 3

Flavor Flav Draws The Line At Herpes

On last night's episode of Flavor of Love 3, the girls were split into two teams and given the sadistic task of "roasting" one girl of their choice from the opposite team. Thing is, because the roast wasn't coming from a place of love and respect, it was just a bunch of girls telling mean jokes. One of the girls roasted was Hotlanta, and after sitting through jokes about her weight, vagina odor, and career as a stripper, she was then accused of having oral herpes. Flav got freaked out by the whole thing (guess he didn't get the memo that herpes is so whatevs) and had a doctor perform a weird test on her. Weirder than that is the idea that Flav managed to avoid contracting herpes during the first two seasons of this show. Clip above.

Flavor Of Love 3 Is Racist, Sexist, And Totally Entertaining

Flavor of Love 3 premiered last night, and if you thought that the series — an elimination-based dating show in which the "winner" gets to "kick it" with Flava Flav — was offensive before, well, you ain't seen nothing yet. In the clip above, Flav nicknames a pair of twins "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" after his favorite characters in The Cat in the Hat, then sits down with two other women, who argue over who can make the best fried chicken. Despite this, this season is shaping up to be the funniest (and weirdest, given one contestant's fixation on "reproducing", i.e., bearing Flav's baby) of the series. Could it be that the show's over-the-top offensiveness is a sort of "fuck you" in response to the September 25 congressional hearing "From Imus to Industry: The Business of Stereotypes and Degrading Images" at which Viacom executives testified? Or does it simply underscore the fact that people who go on reality shows seem more than willing to degrade themselves? Whatever the case, cognitive dissonance makes this show a lot of fun.

Do You Know What Time It Is?
