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 the finale:
Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Three Sentences: Michaels whisks his final two to Cancun for three days of jungle walks, sea sickness, spa treatments, bitchy fights, overt displays of sluttiness and product placement for the resort who kindly hosted the whole mess. Ambre needs to prove she’s sexy, while Daisy is out to demonstrate there’s a thinking mind hiding behind those Restylane-plumped lips. Bret, as usual, is simply looking for nothing but a good time.
Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: Musically, nope, but the relationship between Daisy and Ambre gets plenty thorny as the competition nears its end. Daisy chides her thirty-seven-year-old competitor by implying Ambre is uncomfortable in her own skin, imitating her walk and generally acting immature. Ambre gets unnecessarily confrontational with Daisy, engaging in verbal combat every time the two are alone and overusing the word “dude.” When Daisy gets pissed that Ambre called her a stripper, Ambre responds, “Dude, that’s your occupation.” Classic.
The Most Ridiculous Part: You’d think dating two women in plain view of millions of TV viewers would encourage Michaels to mix up his game, but he uses the exact same line at dinner with both of the ladies when they turn up the heat (”Check, please!”), and buys them the exact same special gift (a charm necklace). And was it really necessary for him to ask Ambre to prove she wasn’t wearing underwear at dinner?
The Rockin’ Finish: Bret dons a shiny suit to deliver his final decision — he’s going with Ambre, the stable, articulate woman nearest his age bracket, rather than Daisy, the blubbering “rock & roll” disaster twenty years his junior who expresses herself best in convulsion-like quivers. But will it last or will there be a Rock of Love 3? Will Ambre ditch Michaels at the reunion show the way Jes did last season? Will we ever be able to erase the memory of Bret telling Ambre they’re off to go have “hot monkey sex”? A nation of plastic surgeons and strippers waits with bated breath.
