Notes

I’ll admit it. When it premiered, I trashed “Flavor of Love,” but I ended up watching every week, and plenty of others agreed.  The season finale was the highest rated show in VH1 history with 5.9 million viewers.  Don’t be surprised if “Miss New York” gets her own show out of this (which of course was her goal from the beginning).
