Every week Poison frontman Bret Michaels searches for a worthy life partner on Rock of Love Bus, while Rock Daily searches for ways to reference “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” in our recaps. Here’s our take on episode 10:
Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Five Sentences: Bret Michaels invites the girls to “make sweet music” with him at an Orlando studio, so the four finalists write lyrics to one of his songs (that sounds suspiciously like “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” — just kidding … kind of) and perform them, too. As a bonus, an old issue of Rolling Stone is seen laying on the bed while Jamie crafts her song (thanks, ROL!). Taya, who says she’s been singing with her father for years, wins the challenge while poor tone-deaf Mindy flails. Beverly and Taya join Bret for a gig, then he dons a chef’s jacket and cooks everyone eggs. It’s nice to know the rock & roll lifestyle is alive and well.
Hey-Oh!: For an unknown reason we can only attribute to stupidity, Mindy tells Taya that she first thought she came on the show to promote Penthouse, but now realizes she’s there to promote a singing career. Though the two were shower-buddies mere episodes ago, now they’re at war. Mindy insists she was kidding: “I’m a jokester. I put meat in people’s shoes!” Who doesn’t?
The Most Ridiculous Part: Some of the girls’ song title were a serious trip. Beverly penned “Love War & Rock ‘n Roll” (awesome lyric: “You seemed so out of reach/so many skanks I had to beat”), Jamie wrote “Text Message My Heart,” Taya churned out “Once Upon a Time” and Mindy wrote “On My Way to Loving You.”
The Rockin’ Send-Off: Though he’s concerned that Mindy is more worried about her relationship with Taya than their own budding romance, Bret tosses aside Beverly because he fears she’s more in love with the idea of dating a rock star than anything else. Beverly did bring some stuffed bears for Bret to sign for her kids, which was a bit creepy, and her send-off interview kind of puts the nail in the coffin: “I’ve been dreaming about him and having some sort of relationship with him ever since that first concert I went to.”
