Every week Poison frontman Bret Michaels searches for a worthy life partner on Rock of Love 2, while Rock Daily searches for ways to reference “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” in our Rock Reality Show Recaps. Here’s our take on episode nine:

Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in One Sentence: Bret Michaels brings in the girls’ ex-boyfriends (and, for Ambre, her dorkish best friend), and while he unsuccessfully pumps them for information at a cigar bar, season one’s Heather is back at the house getting the ladies so wasted they all either puke, cry or take their clothes off.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: It did not. But Bret discovered the thorny side of all his hopefuls — Destiney is a groupie; Megan has already been on a reality show (Beauty and the Geek), Jessica can’t hold her alcohol; Ambre’s abs are scary; Daisy still lives with her ex-boyfriend, the lead singer of something goth and eyeliner covered called Seraphim Shock.

The Most Ridiculous Part: Daisy enters a sobbing fit so severe we thought her lips might melt off when she admits to Heather that she still shares a one-bedroom with her former boyfriend, Charles. Heather finally escapes by saying, “I’ve gotta pee, and I’ve gotta talk to the rest of the girls.” Meanwhile Bret is playing arcade games at Dave & Busters (which “rocks!”).

The Rockin’ Finish: Heather reminds us what this show has been missing all season — drunk reality-show antics. We love you, Heather! Fortunately, she’ll be back next week when Bret moves the girls to Vegas for one last hurrah — everyone but Megan, that is. Michaels sends her home for seeming disingenuous, and she awkwardly stands there looking distraught until he escorts her out.
