My Favorite VH1 Reality Shows Of The 2000s

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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
