Every week Poison frontman Bret Michaels searches for a worthy life partner on Rock of Love Bus, while Rock Daily searches for ways to say “smoking hot” in our recaps. Here’s our take on episode six:

Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Four Sentences: Bret’s tour lurches to Nashville, and rather than celebrate the city’s rich musical history, Michaels has his remaining 10 girls visit a giant slimy field for the tackle-football extravaganza known as Mud Bowl 3. Mindy the MVP joins Michaels for a show in Texas where she gets to eat a giant corn dog (seriously, that’s not a double entendre; check minute 31). Unfortunately for the rest of the winning Sweethearts team, Bret receives word that a friend has died in Iraq moments before his group date. And … buzz kill.

Hey-Oh!: Ashley’s Mud Bowl strategy = removing the other team’s pants. They could have spun-off the post-game clean-up for an episode of Discovery’s Dirty Jobs.

The Most Ridiculous Part: One of the three new recruits from last episode, Jennifer, is on the bus despite the fact that her father died a week ago. Why? Because the show is “such a great opportunity.”

The Rockin’ Send-Off: Since Mindy was not poopy-faced at Bret’s show this time, she’s safe at elimination. And amazingly, Brittanya stays on the tour, despite the fact that Bret generously describes her as “mute.” Bret decides to set Jennifer free so she can properly mourn her father’s death with her family (and not with a cadre of obnoxious smoking hot hotties), and the tour rolls on.
