Sunday night Poison frontman Bret Michaels’ quest for a worthy romantic partner will come to an end with the final episode of Rock of Love. Since Rock Daily has been closely following every catfight, projectile vomiting attack and rendition of “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” on the show each week, we were more than pleased to sit down with Michaels to grab a little dirt from behind the scenes. Come back Sunday night after the last episode airs for our full interview (where Bret reveals details from the reunion show and scenes you didn’t see), but for now, enjoy Michaels admitting what really happened with Heather and his true feelings about Lacey — plus check out a shocking tease as to who he ultimately picked to rock his world.

On Friday, Rock Daily will have a private audience with Poison’s Bret Michaels a.k.a. the star of reality-TV dating extravaganza Rock of Love. You know what this means: It’s your chance to find out if he realized Lacey was nuts all along, if he realized he brought up “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” in 99 percent of the show’s episodes … and much more. Post your own queries for Michaels in the comments and we’ll hit him with the best (and/or most hilarious but ask-able) ones. Then check back next week for our video interview (it can be found here).

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 episode ten:

Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Two Sentences: Now that Bret Michaels has road-tested his final three potential loves, all that’s left to do is meet the parents. The following hour is a testament to the powers of genetics: Heather’s folks are laidback, beer-swilling, trash-talkers who have no problem with their daughter’s stripper lifestyle; Jes’ mom and dad are sweet, mellow and obviously love their daughter (though her dad makes one ill-advised boob joke); and Lacey’s father oozes the crazy.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: Remarkably, no — but only because Michaels was too busy attempting to make conversation with people his own age for the first time since wacky Rodeo made her exit. (more…)

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 episode nine:

Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Three Sentences: Bret Michaels takes the final four ladies to Sin City for a night in Vegas that’s nearly as disastrous as this year’s VMAs. After a “free fan-appreciation concert” at an off-the-strip casino, Michaels’ band gets Lacey and Brandi M. blind drunk — Lacey falls off a bar and mumbles incoherently, Brandi M. pukes at the dinner table — and Jes scores points for helping everyone stay out of the ER. Jes and Lacey spend the night with Bret (separate nights, that is — if Michaels was still scoring the way he was in the Eighties, he wouldn’t require the services of this reality show), but Heather doesn’t have to worry about elimination because Brandi M. makes a massive mistake and in a hangover haze admits she doesn’t think Bret’s the dude for her.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: How could it not!? After Michaels debuts a tuneless bomb of a song from his new album at the show, he slings the ol’ acoustic around his neck, and we all know what that means. (more…)

Sixty Minutes of Rockin’ Reality in Three Sentences: Bret decides to judge the remaining five women the best way he knows how: by having three of his “superfans” — all of whom began their Poison devotion in the Nineties or later — interrogate them (and make out with them) to sniff out the phonies. Sam cracks under the pressure, Brandi M. and Lacey get pissed off, and Jes and Heather perform like champs. The three ladies who aren’t in the Heather/Lacey alliance also take this opportunity to tell anybody and everybody who will listen that Lacey is batshit insane.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: Hell to the yes! During her questioning, Lacey was asked to perform any of Michael’s songs. And you know which one she chose to warble off-key … (more…)

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 episode seven:

Sixty Minutes in Three Sentences: While Bret hits the studio for some work on that solo album he likes to constantly remind us he’s making, he instructs the six remaining girls to shoot mock album covers. The team of Jes, Samantha and Lacey go for a super-sexy angel/devil motif; Mia, Heather and Brandi M. pick an old dude helping out a woman with a flat tire — which one do you think made Bret literally howl? And while Lacey continues her reign of bitchiness, the rest of the girls (save Heather) all tell Bret they think she’s a psycho.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: Shockingly, no! Maybe Michaels assumed we’d had our fill between last episode, the one before that, the one before that … and of course, his cameo on The Rock Life. We did have “Nothin’ But a Good Time” as Jes hopped on the back of his motorcycle for their solo date. (more…)

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 episode six:

Sixty Minutes in Two Sentences: Seven girls remain in the Rock of Love house, so Bret Michaels tests their ability to rock on the road by putting them through a tour bus challenge that demands they change into a slutty outfit in a Port-A-Pottie, dig through a dumpster of goo in search of a lost guitar pick and shove their past security in order to be with him — who’s gonna give these ladies their dignity back after the show ends like Mo’Nique did for the Flavor of Love gals … Courtney Love? While winner Brandi M. attends a hockey game with Bret, Heather and Lacey continue to treat the show like Survivor: Eightiesville (Michaels does wear that bandanna like a buff everywhere) and plot to take out sensitive Samantha, who chills out long enough to pole dance during Michaels’ birthday party, then returns to full-on angst mode.

Did Every Rose Have Its Thorn?: You better believe it. One of challenge’s tests required contestants to rearrange words on a blackboard until they spelled out the chorus of Michaels’ most beloved track. And yes, somebody (Mia) got it wrong. Maybe producers aren’t piping it into the house where the girls live 24/7 … (more…)

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 episode six:

Sixty Minutes in Two Sentences: There’s only eight ladies left in the Rock of Love house (which is decked out in so much gaudy animal print, even the pool table looks like a dead leopard), so the producers let the girls channel their animosity for each other into a friendly game of tackle mud football. Jes scores a point for human decency by knocking manipulative Lacey to the ground, and also wins the solo date with Bret, which begins with Michaels announcing he may not know a lot about relationships, but “What I do know how to do is music.” He then breaks into a “new” song called “All I Ever Needed,” which sounds suspiciously like “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.”

The Most Ridiculous Part: Heather and Lacey plot to take out Erin. Their biggest ammunition: Erin’s boss from the restaurant where she works in Chicago calls to report that Justin Timberlake is coming by. We hope JT can collect royalties on gratuitous repetition of his name, because over the next forty minutes his name is said fourteen times. (more…)
