Remember the days when VH1 was made entirely of music? Remember when those days of music turn into the days of reality television? If you do, then you might want to stick around and take a trip down the 2000s lane of VH1 reality shows! And sure you can say that the shows that are on VH1 now are pretty good, but nothing will ever compare to sitting at home and watching Flavor Flav or Bret Michaels choose the love of their lives (which they ironically did for three seasons). And who can forget some of the memorable people who got their fifteen minutes of fame just for the pleasure of us! So here are some of my favorite VH1 reality shows of the 2000s

Flavor of Love

A spin-off of Strange Love, this masterpiece of a show saw Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav find love after his relationship ended with Bridget Nielson. In it, twenty women scratched and clawed their way to the rapper's heart. Season 1 was memorable as it introduced Hoopz, Pumpkin, Goldie, Hottie, and the iconic New York. And who could forget the infamous spit take with Pumpkin and New York? Season 2 saw the return of New York and once again being turned down by Flav. Season 3 never lived up to the height of the first two seasons. But in the end, Flav did find love with the mother of his youngest child. Flavor of Love ended up making two spin-offs, Charm School and...

I Love New York


After being dumped by Flavor Flav twice (in the final two might I add), Tiffany Pollard a.k.a New York had her own show where she looked for love in the hearts of twenty men. Running for two seasons, I Love New York gave us Tango, Tailor Made, Real & Chance (who had their own dating show) and the not-so-bright It.

Rock Of Love


From the world of hip-hop, we now turn to the world of rock & roll. Poison lead singer Bret Michaels spent three years looking for love in the hearts of twenty-five women, with the third seasons taking place on a tour bus. This show saw the likes of Heather, Lacey, Brandi C, Meagan, Daisy, Angelique, Ashley, and Taya. After three seasons of finding love, none of the three winners seemed to fit the rock & roll lifestyle that Bret was looking for. Spin-offs of the series include Rock of Love Charm School, Daisy of Love, and Meagan Wants a Millionaire.

Together, all three shows had the spin-off I Love Money in which seventeen contestants competed for $250,000. It was short lived after the controversy of contestant Ryan Jenkins killing his girlfriend and then himself.

And those shows pretty much made up my middle school life. Rewatching these shows today is comedy gold. The only one still relevant after all of this is New York, who had a number of shows on VH1 and was even a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother over in the UK. Most of these shows you can find on Hulu.

If you miss watching these shows, create a Hulu account and relive the days of reality glory!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
