what did i say about american tv?

so, in a previous post i mentioned that television was better here. i'm in california at the moment (although i think the tv is much the same everywhere), and last night i discovered 'flavour of love', a celebrity reality tv show, where 20 women compete for the affections of flavour flav, former frontman for 80s hip-hop group, public enemy*

i recommend people with too much time on their hands to check out this classy highlight from the show that i happened to catch last night (my first time watching, by the way, but certainly not the last!!). in the clip, flav is deciding which two of the three beauties, (named new york, pumpkin and hoops), remaining from the original twenty will carry on to the next round. flav shows his decision by placing a giant clock necklace around the neck of the lucky ladies. there's a hot tip for budding casanovas...

throughout the series, there has been no small tension between two of the lovely ladies, pumpkin, and new york.. (apparently not their real names....), which resulted in pumpkin, who was rejected by flav, spitting in the face of new york.. this was shown several times in super slow motion, for anyone who missed it at home.

quality viewing folks. don't worry if you're in australia though, and wondering how you are going to catch this fabulous new television phenomenon. channels nine and ten are in a bidding war over 'flavour of love' as you read.
