Bret Michaels Ends His Search for a Rock-Star Girlfriend on Final Episode of “Rock of Love”: Bonus Rock Reality Show Recap

9/30/07, 10:04 pm EST

With “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” playing in the background, Poison’s Bret Michaels picked Jes to be his so-called “rock-star girlfriend” on the final episode of Rock of Love. Click above to check out Rock Daily’s interview with Michaels, where he admits his true feelings about the girls on the show and reveals what went on behind the scenes, and keep reading for our final Rock Reality Show Recap of the series:

Every week Poison frontman Bret Michaels searches for a worthy life partner on Rock of Love, while Rock Daily searches for ways to reference “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” in our Rock Reality Show Recaps. Here’s our take on the finale episode:

Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Three Sentences: The two remaining women competing for Poison frontman Bret Michaels’ heart get catty as the trio hits Mexico for the big finale. Michaels takes Heather dune-buggy riding for their date, during which he starts to suffer a diabetes-related attack (Heather ignores his pleas for food in favor of more off-roading); later she tells Bret she loves him in an attempt to end questioning about her life as a stripper. Jes and Michaels party on a yacht, and when his diabetes acts up again at dinner, she cries out of concern when he presents her with an Epipen.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: You already know the answer to that one (and if you didn’t, you clearly haven’t been paying much attention to VH1’s highest-rated show of the summer … or ever heard Bret Michaels speak for more than ten minutes at a time). As Jes walks toward Michaels in the show’s final scene, the acoustic starts a’strummin’, which could only mean one thing: A song filled with lyrics about a broken heart is now being used to underscore a scene about the exact opposite emotion.

The Most Ridiculous Part: A mind-blowing montage of Heather getting dolled up for the final elimination ceremony, as she slips into a canary-yellow dress, sprays her hair into 1984 and shoots a glass of vodka. “There’s no way he can look at me and turn me down,” she says. And yes, there is a mirror in the room.

The Rockin’ Finish: Michaels faces the two woman and poses them one question: would they both be his rock-star girlfriends? Heather, whose apparent love of the ladies comes up a few times in the episode, quickly answers “I’d love to,” while Jes says hell to the no. And with that, Michaels dismisses Heather, who stalks off angrily, and picks Jes. So … what’s Heather going to do with that Bret tattoo on her neck? Turn it into fret? Perhaps we’ll find out during next week’s reunion episode, which Michaels warns will be frosty (see video, above).

bretfan | 4/5/2008, 5:36 pm EST

I can’t believe he is bald… at least his hair looks fake, I just saw a review here
and they say he is, but all his fans just can’t deal with this… it kind of racist against bald people, there’s nothing wrong with them… but that bandana is sooo suspicious…

vavalleygirl1 | 11/24/2007, 4:56 pm EST

I watched Rock of Love all the way through. I liked Jes and was hoping Bret would end up with her. I’ve been a Poison fan ever since the band hit the music scene. I play drums and have always been around musicians. But, I have this to say to Bret. You aren’t going to find the woman of your dreams and someone you can really fall in love with on a reality t.v. show or with anyone that does exotic dancing for a living. Sure, the dancers look great and have nice bodies. But, if you want anyone that has some substance and values, you need to look elsewhere. I can dress up to the nines and look just as drop dead gorgeous as anyone else. I’ve always dated musicians, so understand all about what that lifestyle is about. Being on the road, living in hotel rooms, breaking down and setting up the equipment, the groupies, etc. Any woman that really cares about you, will want to kick your ass for drinking, since you are a diabetic. You sure don’t need any female that is going to incite you to party and drink alcohol. Seems to me you need someone that is strong, independent, has their head screwed on straight and that doesn’t mind being alone. And also someone that wants to see you take care of yourself. We want to see you be around for a long time! So, be good to yourself. Forget the rock star image thing. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be. And it gets old after awhile. Like I said, I’ve always dated musicians. I know they get tired of being on the road, staying in hotels, the party thing. When all is said and done, most of them want a sane woman that is there for them when they come home. Rock and roll will never die and we don’t want our rockers to either!!!

I think it was wrong how they didnt let them see each other for 6 months, of course jes was going to move on. what did he expect. he should has just went for heather. with her he wouldnt known she wouldve waited for him.

Ok, i watched the whole series..watched jess(the nicest in the house) and brett seemingly falling in love…couldnt wait to have him pick her(and ex those bitches out)–which he did..they were sooo romantic–not trashy.. then- to see the reunion give jes only a few minutes at the end..and why was Brett coming on to heather?? obviously he broke jes’s heart–I was floored!
jes rocked…was it all a scam..tell us bret?

candymandy | 10/9/2007, 8:09 pm EST

Bret - “Wild Thing” was the girl you should have picked!! Why do guys always end up with the wrong girl? Geez, Jess?? Were you kidding yourself or just totally confused by all the ones you never got to know and all the crap stirring around you. Was it to incite the audience that you actually believed women’s gossip to keep the “drama” alive and Lacy on. You should never believe women’s gossip, remember “believe nothing of what you hear and half of what you see?” But you are gorgeous. So you went through all that to find your soulmate wife and ended up with a tough as nails beautiful stripper. My gorgeous pal -you certainly are not ready for marriage. But it was the most fun reality show I’ve seen in a long time. “Are you threatening me with a good time?” Outrageous and very entertaining. Please come back and do Rock of Love Part II, after all, a guy has to keep trying. Hope you were wearing your “raincoat” with a couple of the trampy ones!

Nobody seems to have been talking about Lacey. I, personally, feel that she was a plant in this show. Notice how she and Bret were not on stage together for the reunion show? Bret kept her around, even though every girl in that house wanted her OUT for her malicious behavior. Clearly, she was supposed to be acting that way. Her Father was probably scripted, too.

Cat | 10/8/2007, 6:45 pm EST

Okay. First of all, the show was totally stupid. (That’s why we all watched it) And second, if you knew anything about Bret (at all) you would know that the bandana covers up a scar from when he wrecked his Ferrari. Lastly, you just know there’s going to be a “Rock of Love II” And yes, I will probably get sucked into that one too.

Suzy Homewrecker. | 10/8/2007, 4:24 pm EST

Oh please. Jes is waaaaay too good for Bret Michaels, and I’m glad she’s found someone else. Heather may be tacky, but she would’ve done the job just fine; they are definitely two of a kind.

Kayla | 10/8/2007, 12:25 pm EST

I think Jes should stay with Bret because they are so hott together. They are made for each other I think. She’s hott-he’s hott what can go wrong.

kayla | 10/8/2007, 12:23 pm EST

I totally think Jes should stick with Bret because i don’t think their is really anyone better for her. She’s pretty-he’s hott! THEY go excellant together!

tide | 10/8/2007, 12:46 am EST

What a shocker that they broke up.

They already broke up! | 10/7/2007, 11:39 pm EST

She met some guy in Chicago and dumped Bret. The DJ’s on the WPLJ morning show in NY were talking about a few days ago. They basically were over with before the final show even aired.

Pushingcrazy | 10/7/2007, 9:15 pm EST

Loved every part of the show, especially Bret and Jes together. The reunion I could have lived without. Heather was good with him, but Jes and Bret are the real deal–or should be. Jes got freaked after seeing the episodes air, but I hope they make it.

linda | 10/7/2007, 7:18 pm EST

i totally loved the show… and i at first wanted Heather to win,(for about the first half of the series) then she turns her true side around, and shows she is totally not the “commiting” kind of lady…
i think Jess is perfect for Bret.. and i am so glad she won!! i wanted her to win from that point on…. and was so glad stupid Lacey was sent home.. she is totally psyco! and so is her family!

GO JESS!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE TRUELY A CLASSY LADY!

hair band | 10/7/2007, 3:09 pm EST

heather rocks and should have won, heather is a user

Dana A New York Doll | 10/5/2007, 8:50 pm EST

There’s a lot of things that taste better. Maybe its time you went out to a good restaurant. If throwing up in your mouth is a desirable thing to do, you need to get some friends.

Luvingu2 | 10/5/2007, 2:04 am EST

Hey I want someone to explain what Bret meant when he said to Jess this is the first of two rocks of love when he gave her the necklace? He then said you saw the other one already and at the end of their kiss he said come n let’s go get you knocked up? Heard a rumor before the show aired she was on B96 and flashed a ring on her finger which hand I can only guess.

Yakety Yak | 10/4/2007, 1:32 pm EST

Everytime I see this 80’s hair band has been I throw up in my mouth a little bit……..
And the bandana trick ain’t working duuuuuuuuuuude, we know you’re bald, covering up a bad wig with a bandana, well, it makes me want to throw up in my mouth a bit………..

JoJo | 10/4/2007, 6:16 am EST

Please, Jes had so much trouble with rejection and didn’t want to share Brett with Heather. What happens the first time another chic catches his eye. Is she going to cry again because she got “rejected” again. I get rejected everyday in Real Estate and it feels like shit. But I don’t cry about it. Brett should have gotten over Heather being a stripper. He doesn’t have the best past as I remember; who’s throwing stones that live in a glass house, Brett (literally). Hey I’m from the 70’s and Heather wears her hair like that because she is used to performing. No different than Brett wearing his all time BANDANA. How 80’s is that?

Melissa-Rockin Philly Style | 10/3/2007, 3:00 pm EST

I really think Heather should have won. I think every girl on that show had some nerve to keep bringing up in convos in front of Bret that she Is a Stripper. More then half of them girls have at one time or another also had the same job, or did a porno,or had way bigger problems,,suck as MENTAL PROBLEMS..Lacey evidentally is a good canidate for a bi-polar disorder research study. The only time I kinda dis-liked Heather was when she didn`t help the girls out when the were all pukin it up vegas style. She just sat there and eat,and eat and eat!!LMAO!! So if her and lace were obvious B.F.F`s, then why didn`t she help her out that night? Because Heather never was her friend, heather knew exactly what she was doing by acting like she was Laceys best friend…Who did all the dirty work? As much as the show was trying to make it seem like he wanted some party rocker chic, all Brett really was looking for was a woman with compassion for people, and Jess surely did demostrate that in several episodes,,and unlike the other girls, she didn`t do it for any kind of brownie points..
In the end,Bret wanted Heather in the bed, and Jess in the kithen, ya know how ever the `ol saying goes.
I would have to say though that Jes and Sam were the only two authenic girls on the show. They were not trailer trash whores that just needed nor wanted a free ride to fame or money. I just hope that the reunion show will show and prove that them two are indeed together still, if they are not, then I will now belive that these reality hook up shows are faker than Brandi C`s Ta Ta`s…LMAO

Debbie,

Would you be interested in allowing me to crack your skull open with a large rock?

Debbie Orlando | 10/3/2007, 9:19 am EST

When he and Jes break up (which u know usually happens w/these shows), I hope there will be a Rock of Love II. I absolutely loved that show and am going to have Bret withdrawals.

It could end with him shooting her in the mouth!

Posting Gary | 10/1/2007, 1:57 pm EST

Gary, why do you post about a show you hate? Sorry to let you know that Bret is actually intelligent, has saved all his Poison money and as your uninformed ass would know if you fact checked before opening your big mouth you’d realize that Poison are still one of the biggest touring acts today. Maybe if you stopped reading Rolling Stone & thinking the Vines/Strokes/Killers are good you’d realize many people still love this music and it sells better today than most current acts.

MM | 10/1/2007, 1:35 pm EST

I don’t think she’s ugly. I think she’s crazy, I think she pretty much has no talent; I just don’t think she’s ugly.

I don’t know; maybe I’m fucked up. I just don’t get all this “ugly” business that’s so fashionable to say about her now.

On the other hand, Bret looks he might live a little close to a power plant. It’s looks like plutonium poisoning to me.

Allawishes | 10/1/2007, 12:59 pm EST

Hey, at least that tattoo she has of “BRET” can easily be changed to “REGRET”.

Gary Mazzeo | 10/1/2007, 10:25 am EST

the fuckin show’s stupid. i don’t think any self respecting rocker would be whining about one these hoes becoming his girfriend. I’m pretty sure he’s doing the show because he blew all Poison money.

Nobody plays their music on the radio and no one plays their videos, so he probably doesn’t make a dime in residuals.

I bet he’s scrating his balls constantly caused by one skin blotch or the other. Maybe one these broads will go postal and kill him in his sleep!

We can only hope!
