The Elle Word (Friday June 1 at 7:00pm EST)
Virginia Heffernan wrote an article in the New York Times that's titled, 'Charm School Teaching a lot more than Manners'.
In it, Ms. Heffernan makes a case that Charm School presents an unfiltered presentation of America's continuing debate on class and race. But, in a format where African-Americans are the majority and Caucasians and Asians are the minority.
In Mrs Hefferman's mind, "the white and Asian girls here — notably Becky (whom Flav used to call Buckwild), Brooke (Pumpkin) and Leilene (Smiley) — are singled out for their race."
And they are preyed upon by the "the most warlike of the women", Larissa, whom she says "constantly suggests that Leilene is a prostitute".
She's entitled to her opinion of course but why are the black women perceived as aggressive and overly possessed by race; whilst the white and Asian women are victims and stereotyped?
Anyways, you can read the article for yourself and draw your own conclusion.
Oh Damn!
Oh Dear!
Oh My!
Oh Shit!
This Friday, The Elle Word will be off the hook. Can you believe Pumkin and Saaphyri?
We failed to credit the appropriate source for the picture of Hottie we recently posted.
The original source is Essence Magazine, and skimming the site today it appears they have covered Charm School in great detail.
Wonders how I missed that? Usually someone would bring it to our attention .
Anyways, you should browse a bit over there because it's chockful of great articles and interviews with the cast.
To start you on the right path....
But the mother lode can be found here (a photo gallery with Darra, and interviews with Darra, Mikki, Schatar’s mom and Goldie)
(Schatar's Mom!)
Besides the quality writing, Essence Magazine has very attractive staff, I must say. But I digress..
Cheers.
The picture shows all you need to know.
Mr Boston and Wood LIVE on the Elle Word at 8pm EST (5pm PST)

Join us in the chatroom NOW
Who da hell told MTV they can air a first showing of a Charm School Episode?
Whomever it was deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor because we really could not wait another six days to see New York make her appearance and Larissa receive her comeuppance.
Nice words aside, it's recap time...
Darra and Schatar are gone but the issue of who stole the pictures, resides still, on the minds of Brooke and Leilene (why? Nobody misses them)
Suddenly they have doubts but before they theorize further (instead of asking for the blasted tape), Mo'Nique spares us the folly with an announcement to gather in the hall (or wherever they congregate)
Assembled at the hall, details are given, such as the Commandment for today's lesson, 'Thou shalt represent', the challenge and reward (a celebrity interview and immunity at the Elimination Ceremony).
The guest Dean for this Episode is Kevin Fraser from 'Entertainment Tonight' (nice guy) and his remit is teaching the girls how to conduct themselves and stay on message at a press junket.
Now if you've seen Kevin before you'd know he's a bit of a comedian so it was no surprise that he began his lesson with a replay of the ladies "previous body of work"
The first images are that of Rebecca Johnston at the Flavor of Love 2 Reunion Show doing that awful "step to this" routine and throwing a shoe.
We hear Leilene telling a tale of a guy who threw a bottle at her face and a clip of Saaphyri.
But more entertaining were re-showings of the spitting incident and Larissa charging the stage to get at New York
Mo'Nique observes the girls' reaction to the clips and notes it changed from giggles to embarrassment.
Kevin then advises the girls that going out there is about "staying on the message and selling your show" and then "suggests a little role play."
He chooses Leilene and asks her about the bottle incident and if she's had any other crazy boyfriends since that incident. Her reply was "can I say no comment" but Kevin suggests (and prefers) "you know what, I am here to talk about Charm School. I feel like we're going backwards if we talk about that incident"
Lesson learnt he moves to the second lesson of media interaction, 'Don't take the bait' ('Stay on message' was the first)
This, he explains is about coaxing something of negative interest out of the subject and he cites an example. The culprit was Larissa, who "during an interview, gave up the winner of the Flavor of Love".
Larissa replied, "I never said anything" but Kevin wielded the transcript of the interview at her.
Once again she denied spilling the beans and offered a defense that they could have written anything they wanted to write.
Kevin: so you think, you think they just made it up?
Larissa: I know what they said to me
Kevin: so do we, it was on the radio. It went out over the airwaves
(Lesson 2 1/2: When you are dealing with the Larissas of this world it's best to just let them talk)
Kevin ends by saying Larissa was taking the bait, whilst Larissa -at the confessional- says "Kevin can kiss my ass on that"
Lesson 3 is 'Damage Control',"if something happened in the past, America will forgive you when you come and you say 'I made a mistake'" (Kevin forgot to say that only works if you're white)
What? It's the truth.
The role-player for this lesson is Rebecca Johnston
Kevin: why would you throw a shoe at someone? You could have hit Lala. You could have hurt her
Becky: I might have had a few sips of champagne too many
Kevin: you were intoxicated?
Becky: I wouldn't say intoxicated, maybe slightly inebriated (potato, potahto)
Kevin states she ought to have said that was her bad behavior and she's sorry for it.
The fourth and final media-lesson is 'Do not lose your cool' and Brooke is the role-playing guinea-pig.
Kevin: did you spit on New York?
Brooke: Yes, I did.
Kevin: why did you tell a newspaper that you did not spit on her
Brooke: that's not what I meant, I just said I don't spit on people
More bi-play ensues but Kevin chastises her for letting him pursue a line that's nothing but negative.
Mo'Nique interjects to warn them that she hopes they retained the information because "today it's real"
Saaphyri summarizes the lessons in the confessional, "if you don't want to answer, deflect it. If you do have to answer, lie about it" (just stfu, Saaphyri)
With that it was press-junket time.
New York Returns
The ladies are isolated from the interview-room where Brooke is taken to meet the mysterious, celebrity interviewer. Looking on in another room are Keith, Mikki, Kevin and Mo'Nique.
We all know who it is but you can't help but exclaim when the HBIC arrives. With a twirl and spin, New York announces her appearance. (as Tyra said, she knows how to make an entrance)
***Let's take a break from the recap for a while to talk about New York. Her appearance energized the show. The first words out of Mikki's mouth was "Oh, here we go", and that's the truth because New York makes things happen.
Keith couldn't stop smiling and Mo'Nique and Kevin looked tense.
She is the HBIC, and she'll make it rain on ya***
New York: (high-pitched laughter) So have you (makes 'hoarking' sound) spit on anyone yet?
Brooke: absolutely not, I've learnt from that and I am a better person now
New York: ok, Brooke, whom here you just don't get along with
(in the viewing-room, Kevin mouths, "don't")
Brooke: I definitely had a few problems with Larissa (a violation of Lesson 2)
Next was Saaphyri who remarked New York got her boobs done and they are still sagging (stfu, yours look like extra legs)
New York: so, have you punched anyone dead in the face yet
Saaphyri: I am here in Charm School to change those type of ways not to enhance them
("Go on now, go on now" shouts Mikki Taylor in the viewing room) (sigh)
New York then addresses Saaphyri's weave and describes it as having candy-apple red tips but Saaphyri says, "it's not candy-apple red, it's pink" (which makes Saaphyri dumb, deaf and color-blind)
Saaphyri did give an excellent answer to the question shown but we aren't here to make her look good so I'll pretend it never happened. I will admit however, that Kevin said "she rocked that like a professional"
Larissa was next...
New York: the last time I saw you, you were tryna kill me at the Reunion Show
Larissa: and I apologize for that because I am a better person (said with that vacant stare of hers)
New York: I am so sorry to see that you turned into such a little punk bitch (lmwbhao)
In the confessional Larissa said "New York know, anywhere I see you; I will fuck you up (all mouth. The only things missing are the red towel and the Stallionaires cap)
Three down and three to go. Leilene, come on down!
New York: so in the Flavor of Love Reunion, it came out that you have a history of dating abusive men. How did it feel after you got your ass beaten? Was it wild animal sex afterwards? Like what happened after this beat-down? (that's just wrong)
Leilene: here, I am focusing more on my career, blah blah blah (you get the picture, she didn't take the bait)
Let's see what will happen with Shay
New York: so Bootz...oh I am sorry, I mean Buckeey. (lmao) You know you've been following her around so much
Shay: I wouldn't say I've been following her around but you know on Charm School I've been learning a lot, and I am learning to find out more about myself.
(Kevin cheers)
New York hugs her for some reason and Shay pretends to be repulsed
Finally, we have Buckwild and we are led to believe that this is some apocalyptic showdown because Buckwild said she'd kill New York when next she saw her (Mo'Nique will be a size 2 before I believe that mess)
Even Mo'Nique plays into the drama, "ok, can we have security here" (for what?)
New York: ok Becky, so why did you talk with that black accent?
Becky: I've been working on it since Charm School. I know that there are certain situations, that you know, that you can be ghetto And certain situations that you should be a proper lady in.
New York: so are you saying that black people are ghetto? (I want to know that answer too)
Becky: No, not at all...
New York: (interrupting) well give me your accent
Becky: it's time to get Buckwild dawg (no, no you just didn't perform on cue, smh)
New York: (screams) that's that fake-ass bitch that we've been looking for
Oh dear! New York then cons her into tattle-telling on all the ladies as Becky has the worst interview of the lot (she looked damn good though. Clearly she didn't give away all the good stuff in Episode 6)
The funniest bit was Buckwild saying Pumkin told Larissa she's trying to be New York; to which New York replied "more like New Jersey" (Ha!)
In the viewing room, Keith described the Buckwild interview as a "train-wreck" but Becky leaves the interview room well chuffed and pleased with her performance
Press Junket ends/ Results time
Everyone is together again (including New York) and Kevin presents the results, starting with Brooke, "you took the bait when she said who you don't like in the house and you kinda fell for that" (she's bi-sexual so she'll fall for anything)
"Shay! You turned it on and you shined. It was fantastic"
"Larissa, I was nervous, but you know what? When she got to the room you smiled; and that was beautiful. Good job."
"Becky. You started singling like a canary. You named names..."
"Leilene, she said some things to you; that were CRAZY, and you know what you did? You never got flustered and I think New York got flustered"
"Saaphyri, you were phenomenal. You never got rattled. You were exciting, and fun...Today; you were the best"
So Saaphyri wins and is exempt from elimination.
***Break time again. People have such low expectations of Saaphyri that any crap she does is magnified into some great effort. What the hell was so phenomenal about that?***
On the bus, Becky is crying like the midget on Martin, snot running from the nose and e'rything.
Back at the Mansion
At home Becky is worried because she knows this decision is clear-cut. She performed terribly and her ass is gone unless someone outs themselves. She decides a private meeting with Mo'Nique is an option but asks Shay's opinion before the visit.
Rightfully, Shay says "I wouldn't fucking do it if I were you" but Becky wonders if it may be a "tactic to get me out of this game" (Huh?)
With the challenge completed and nothing else to do, Leilene resuscitates the mystery of the missing picture and is determined to learn the identity of the thief. (clearly the producers of the show got involved to push this plot)
Soon enough, all are involved with Shay and Larissa, in particular accusing everyone except Leilene. (after New York's appearance this feels like cuddling after sex...totally unnecessary)
After much debate, discussion and discourse, everyone except Shay and Larissa is convinced that Shay is the thief. All of this occurs as Shay has a sudden and co-incidental attack of her conscience. (funny how that always happens when the truth is closing in on you)
Later in the day the Becky mulls over the incident at length, not because she gives a damn about who stole the pictures but more because she knows this is her way to stave off elimination (for a show that's supposed to teach Charm it seems to be teaching Cunning)
The tedium is broken up by a note that instructs the girls to prepare a surprise Birthday Party for Mo'Nique.
Mo'Nique's Birthday Party
As the ladies setup the decorations and whatnots, Becky let it slip that "the word on the street" is Shay did it. Naturally, a blow-up occurs and the accusations and counter-accusations ensue until all hell breaks loose when Shay learns that Larissa is part of the Inquisition.
(It's unclear what Larissa was plotting by being involved with his because sinking Shay sinks her, but my belief is she was just going along to keep her name out of the suspicious minds.)
All the chips are falling for Becky it seems...as Shay and Larissa argue, Becky says Larissa said she "would bring it up in elimination" but Larissa forces Becky to admit that she actually said, "if Shay says I did it I will defend myself"
The damage was done and it was clear that Shay and Larissa no longer trusted each other.
Having caused all the drama, Becky is upstairs pulling a Tango (packing her bags for sympathy) and crying her nose out. She's talking like this ..." I'm sick (sniff sniff) I'm sick (sniff sniff) I;m sick of myself (sniff sniff) This situation that we're in has made me (sniff) do some (sniff) fucking things (sniff)"
"Made me (sniff sniff) hurt my fucking friends" ( Oh please, your shenanigans, tears and plotting is all about saving your skin. Spare us the overshare)
Finally the guests arrive; Mo'Nique, Keith and Mikki. Mo'Nique is pleasantly surprised that "my babies care" but it doesn't take long to notice that one of her babies is missing...BECKY!
My experience is when you say you're leaving, a black woman helps you to pack. But Mo'Nique is very comforting and consoling as Becky spills her mind; spreading her melancholy on thick, for full-effect (I saw less tears on September 11th)
Downstairs, Keith (in a banging shirt as usual) tries to be the 'life-of-the party' but the girls ain't having it. Especially Shay who walks upstairs to eavesdrop on Mo'Nique and Becky.
Touched by Becky's sincerity she reveals herself and accepts her apology (smh)
But, she goes farther than that, saying she doesn't "want her (Becky) to go home for other reasons" (that reason would be selling your friend down the river)
She requests a private meeting with Mo'Nique (the same woman who said going to Mo'Nique is a bitch-move) and all but says Larissa is the thief whilst ignoring the HUGE PART she played in the theft of the picture.
She asks to speak to Larissa first and Mo'Nique agrees (as if that's gonna make one clit-lick of difference)
Elimination
Everyone is downstairs now but Larissa's eyes are on Shay, "I take a look at Shay and I see her puffy-ass eyes crying and I'm thinking this bitch has snitched."
At that point Mo'Nique announces "ladies, you have one hour 'til elimination"
Alone, Shay whispers to Larissa, but some of the shit she said should have been done in sign-language because Larissa was not tryna hear that. Shit like, "she knows, but it's better for you." (wtf? I must be dunce because that makes no damn sense)
Shay then cops an attitude, "I'm tryna save Larissa from going home and she got the nerve to call me a rat, when you're the one who turned the whole house against me? What does that make you? A backstabber"
At the Grand Hall, Becky, Shay and Larissa are called down to the carpet.
Keith addresses Becky and Shay but we don't need to hear that. We do need to hear what he said about Larissa, "you did great on that test, you shouldn't be down here, Brooke should be down here. But you don't have anyone to blame but yourself...and, you are clearly a certified psychopath" (Ouuuuch!)
"I don't think so", Larissa replied (you don't THINK so? Is that the best you can do?)
"I do", was Keith's retort (Damnnnn)
The decision is Mo'Nique's therefore, and after a useless argument with Larissa where she pleaded her case admirably, Mo'Nique had no choice but to expel her. Leaving Larissa to mouth outside, "She can kiss my black ass. I am Bootz, I am black and she can kiss my ass"
(she kicked your ass out, kissing it was never on her wishlist)
Shay has some choice words for Larissa on her exit but she's fooling herself because she is nothing but a self-serving snitch and next week it will be very interesting because the other four have paired off and if she thinks Becky will stand beside her because she effectively rescued her, she has another 'think' coming.
That's it...thanks for reading. Be sure to catch Gabrielle later this evening on the Elle Word with Mr. Boston expected to call in. (show starts 8pm EST, 5pm PST and the number to call is 646-478-5101)
Until then., Q-Gasm has an interview with Persia (The White Rapper Show) that's sure to interest you
(bear with me until I upload the pictures)
I'm writing the recap so you can discuss it here if you like...
(READ THE FULL RECAP HERE)
Later today we should have another Elle Word radio show. Hopefully it happens and the guests live up to their wood word.
I never know what I am going to say until I actually begin the recap but my first thoughts are Larissa understands that shouting and carrying on takes you nowhere; Shay is a deceitful slimeball and Becky needs to quit the gangsta because that was pure wanksta last night.
Good episode though...Pity I have to do this shit from memory and a couple of quotes I wrote on a napkin.
Next time I'll believe what I write and keep my ass at home.
Catch y'all in the comments box when I can.
Man, I thought 'The Blogspot' was the place to be after the 'place to be', but that must have been in my imagination.
First 'Wood' canceled on us (with nary an email); then Hottie's management team agreed to an interview on Tuesday but she's calling into Whodaluda Radio today (da hell?)
But, it's a website devoted to the Flavor of Love shows, it's spinoffs and the contestants so I am obligated to link the Hottie audio interview (it's the first 15 mins) even if it means sabotaging Gabrielle's interview
(READ THE EPISODE 7 RECAP HERE)
I mentioned a few weeks ago that Charm School Episodes are now repeated on MTV. Well a regular reader, Sandra, says she "saw on MTV that they will be showing The Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School episode with New York, tonight after Runs House, at 10pm CST"
She also said "knowing MTV they are doing that to get people to watch and then they show another episode"
My belief is it isn't being shown tonight but you should check because it'll only take a minute of your time. And if it isn't you can always read 'the spoiler'
Hope you enjoyed the Holiday.
Cheers.
Update: just checked my MySpace and Steve sent me a message saying the same thing.
Highlights
Best Question: Does Pumkin spit or swallow? (lmwbhao)
Best Answer: I'm a little surprised they got rid of Cristal because she was smoking hot (you got that right)
2nd Best Question: Would you actually have some sex with me? That's what I want to know (lol)
2nd Best Answer: my brother is pretending to be me. Getting laid and stuff...
Best question and answer:
Caller: You got any love for the big girls?
Mr Boston: Ummm....No! Absolutely not! (lmao , hand to chest like Fred Sanford)
Most Surprising moment: Rebecca Johnston has a great laugh
Piss my ass off moment: Rebecca Johnston describes 'New York' as a "big heffa" (hater)
Scoop of the Day: Tango was fooling around with women two days before the Reunion Show (no comment)
Listen to the entire interview with Mr. Boston
If you want to know who will be eliminated next week Sunday on Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School Episode 7, go to Bourgy.com
(don't click if you don't want to know. I warned you)
I know I wrote "will" but of course there is no guarantee that what you read, actually happened. But, it was very accurate on Episode 6 so it has credibility.
(don't try to be clever and alter the url for Episode 8 -it's not there yet)
Charm School Episode 7 is next week Sunday but you can catch Mr Boston on Buckwild Sunday as he speaks to Rebecca Johnston.
Buckwild Sunday is the most popular show on the Blog Talk Radio network.
The show starts at 6:30pm EST (3:30pm PST)
On a related matter...50 cent sold his stake in the company that produces the vitamin water in that picture of Buckwild. His stake is reportedly worth $400m.
That has to be an Internet hoax but everyone seems to be reporting the sale so good for him, I guess.
Now, that's someone to envy.

An extract from the interview:
Do you think Schatar is a liar or does she believe what she says?
I think the woman is delusional. She has been lying for so long and so well that she just believes her stories. Sometimes it becomes ingrained. You know, bipolar disorder combined or the wrong drugs and there you go: it's over. But you know, this isn't the end of the world. I'm not going to kill her for this. I don't hate her for this. But, yeah, I am a little pissed. But whose fault is it really? I chose! But damn. I got bamboozled.
Read the entire interview
What does Schatar have to say about that? You might just hear it for yourself this Tuesday on The Elle Word.
Jason Rosell who appeared as Heat on 'I Love New York' is now being managed by Idalyze Rose under the Savant Entertainment umbrella (ella ella ella, eh eh eh)
Ms Rose says, "My staff and I have BIG PLANS for "Heat." Prior to his brief tenure on 'I Love New York,' Jason was already a SAG affiliate with film and television credits under his belt and a Degree in Public Relations. Savant Entertainment is proud to have him aboard."
Idalyze Nasiha Rose (is that her real name or a wish of hers?) also co-hosts the OnDaSet Internet radio show.
We wish her and Heat well, despite her attitude problem. But, when you're that good-looking, it's par for the course to have a grating personality.
Cheers.
To quote Mo'Nique, "OMG, what is that?" (covers mouth)

Tonight Elle interviews Wood at 7:30 pm EST (4:30 pm PST) on her Blog Talk Radio show, The Elle Word.
Wood, was kicked out in the first episode of I Love New York but he left a lasting impression on the ladies.
If you ladies don't call in tonight you'll never call-in.
Remember it's Wood; on the The Elle Word at 7:30pm EST. The number to call is 646-478-5101
Wood's MySpace
Oh wait...I forgot something. Quanda may just call in to reveal an exclusive item from the I Love New York Reunion Show that involves 'New York' and a toilet-bowl (hmmmmn)
Taken from Screech's blog:
"Despite all of the confidentiality clauses. (That I still do not feel bond by since I've not been paid) Here are a few items that my castmates have been kind enough to let out. Perhaps somebody should crawl up their asses instead of mine for a change.And this:
In his April 6th blog Ross let's anyone reading know that on CFC he is the captain of Maureen's team. So much for Men vs. Women. May I remind everyone that currently Big Fat Kim and Warren are the captains and the teams are Men vs Women, so obviously that changes.
Secondly, magazines hit the stands recently where Maureen reveals her 38 pound weight loss. So much for our keeping the numbers a secret until the finale.
Such Bullshit!"
Granada, the production company behind 'Celebrity Fight Club' has made it clear that they will not pay me because I have no contract with them and this is the only leverage that they have against me. (I can only assume that they are concerned over their editing choices in casting me to look like a prick while everyone else is a saint....Bullshit! We'll get back to the "saints" later.) They have also made it clear that they will set out to ruin me should I not just accept it. I just recieved the "We're a big company, and will use all of our resources to crush you" speech. They also have somebody monitoring my blog each day. At least they have an interest in non-fiction.
So here are my choices.
1. I can sign the numerous pages of additional terms that were presented to me after the show wrapped, and hope that they then pay me the very large sum that they owe me.
OR
2. I can tell them to "munch my taint" (as 3-ball josh put it) release everything to the press (did I leave the show, who won, who wasn't completely honest in how they lost the weight.....you know the high points) as well as emails from Granada and VH1 that the public would find interesting to read.
Of course the latter would involve them no doubt taking me to court and costing me even more money. That's just the way they operate. Shady company, shady business practices.
Did I mention that I am the only cast member in this situation. Everyone else has been paid and received their prizes. In fact the terms that they want me to agree to were not applied to the rest of the cast. I know this because one cast member is already conducting business in a manner that these terms would prohibit.
Oh! I almost forgot. I also got a call from another production company that is seeking to work with me. They were told by Granada that they could not because they have me signed to an overall deal. Bastards! They are even trying to discourage others with FALSE information. Hey Granada if I was so horrible to work with and such a prick, or so you claim in the media (New York Post article) stop claiming that you have me all to yourself.
Lovingly,
~D
P.S. The taint is that fleshy area between your balls and asshole. Enjoy!

Aurelius doesn't think this is his best video recap but in many ways, I think it is.
It's simple, good-enough editing and as usual, his choice of songs for the expelled contestants is absolutely perfect.
What to look for? How about Aurelius in a Jedi bathrobe doing a strip tease.
Still, Aurelius is my loser of the day for a totally insulting remark about Leilene.
It was evil, and worse yet I swear I heard him talking kissy-face with Leilene on Sunday on Buckwild's radio show.
That's cold man...
Speaking of shows, The Elle Word is on this Friday at 7:30 pm EST and the guest is Wood!
But, let's put Wood aside to watch Aurelius...
Have you ever gone right-click crazy on a MySpace account?
Like, you receive an add-me request and you visit the person's page and you were like fucking stunned. Like you couldn't believe they made women that good-looking.
Like you wanted to like eat the damn monitor (takes a deep breath)
Anyways, my frat-brother gphi found Mo'Nique's MySpace...go beat her up for expelling Cristal.
I have no idea why Somethin' (Flavor of Love 2) spells her FOL name as Sumthin'; but it's her name so we'll go with her spelling.
Anyways, here's the news on her....Sumthin' has an Internet Radio Show and it's called 'Sumthin to talk about'
Our friend was really impressed with her interview with Gabrielle and decided she'd like to try hosting.
Today was her first show and I was on it for like twenty or thirty minutes with a couple other great people, Gustavo and Lover Pie.
It was hilarious and as soon as it's archived I'll have it here for you to download.
She totally covered the incident for which she will forever be known; she talked about the food in the house, the drinks in the mansion and. her fights with Bootz and Spunkeey
But best of all, we just had fun. I always told you guys Somethin' is one of my favorites and the prettiest girl and she proved it again tonight. You absolutely have to hear her do a "man-voice" and sing (yes she can sing a bit)
She did a bit of Shakira, Regina Belle and she sung 'Breathe Again' for me, which is my favorite song to make love to
It really was fun and we Sumthinshould all listen to her second show.
I'll let you know when it's scheduled.
New York fan sent me this preview via email then linked it the comment box (I've slapped people for less)
Last week Sunday was a very good day for VH1 as its flagship shows Celebrity Fit Club 5 and Charm School had some of it's best ratings ever.
The bust-up with Dustin 'Screech' Diamond, Sgt. Harvey E Walden IV and the other celebrity guests propelled CFC 5's ratings to it's best ever since the new season began.
"The episode attracted 1.5 million total viewers. The 'CFC 5' 11:00 PM repeat earned a 1.2 rating in the key 18-49 demo and averaged 1.8 million total viewers."
Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School , which had failed to live up to it's 5 million viewers debut; scored an impressive 1.9 P18-49 rating for Sunday's Episode 6 of the series.
The final count" for Episode 6, where the remaining students were "taught a lesson in generosity", totaled a staggering 3.2 million viewers.
VH1's "Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School starring Mo'Nique" is created and executive produced by Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego for Mindless Entertainment and 51 Pictures. Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, Kristen Kelly, Stella Stolper and Michael Hirschorn oversee the series for VH1.

Every now and again I receive and email or comment asking where's Quanda?
Well, Quanda is in California (lol)
But, I assume what you're asking is where is she writing?
The long answer to your question is...she has her own site, a couple of them actually (maybe more) but you can always find her at Q-Gasm.
And, having just visited I can tell you the most recent article across there is on songs you make love to. I am sure they'd love you to contribute (we're one big happy family, after all)
So, Email your choice to Q-Gasms
(just click on the link above, and type your choice)
Over there I chose Elle's voice, but I'd probably have to go for Breathe Again -Toni Braxton
We (don't forget Ivory and Elle) have three articles in development but they are a bit complicated so I'll have to sort those out tomorrow.
One involves sex and music (that's a big hint right there) so get your mp3's at the ready. The others involve Becky Buckwild who's found herself setting reality television records and involved in an Internet drive-by.
But., as I said, we'll talk about that tomorrow because I have to go somewhere to do research for Bourgy.
Until that time, have a listen to Deelishis' first single, "Rumpshaker"
My votes are in for Jordin Sparks for the American Idol.
I ain't voting for the beat-boxer.

I don't know what in da heck made Elle believe I look like Barrack Obama. I am better looking than Obama. That's just a fact; lmao.
I do need your support, however. Jena nominated The Blogspot in three categories for a Blogger's Choice Award and I need votes so we aren't embarrassed.
No worries if you don't vote because there is a tedious sign-up process but if you have any heart you'd spare the minute or two to vote for The Blogspot.
As you can tell from the picture we have just a single vote (presumably from Jena) whilst others are over 8000 and shit.
Jesselyn, re-named 'Wire' on Flavor of Love 2, is doing the YouTube thing.
You should check it out, if for no other reason that she appeared on Flavor of Love 2. That's a good enough reason for me.
Here's one of her videos advertising her favorite place to eat DimSum...
Thanks to Westside Brown for drawing it to my attention
I'd love if you spent your entire day here, on this website. It'd be great if you ignored your responsibilities at work, forgot to make dinner for your children and never made love to your husband nor wife.
But that's unrealistic. We aren't that interesting.
However; there are other sites with that sort of influence. Sites like Concrete Loop
The Young, Black and Fabulous blog posted a rumor yesterday that stated:It pains me to even relay this rumor to y'all. Word has it Shay "Buckeey" Johnson is the new main chick of Andre 3 Thou. The ATL FOL/Charm School chick let it slip on a recent interview and apparently they've been getting real cozy with each other lately. If he wifes this chick I will lose all respect
Obviously it's just a rumor at this point but why would she lose respect for Shay?
Who da hell is Andre 3000?
He wasn't in Da Vinci Code, so he 's no descendant of Christ. Any man would be happy to have Shay. I would.
I would be happy to have her over and over again; on the sofa, in the bedroom, in the kitchen...anywhere.
Anyways, enough of those fantasies. My source who...
- sent me home-made video of Shay Johnson
- correctly identified the cast of Charm School before it was announced
- told me the winner of Charm School, the runner-up and the other three places
...told me that Shay is living with her photographer/boyfriend and wonders why she insisted she's single in an interview with DC Livers of Black Press Radio.
My source sent me a picture to corroborate (it's not a recent picture, but wtf?)

Hey, much thanks to all of you for participating in this evening's show. It was a riot from start to finish, notwithstanding the audio breaks that disturbed the latter half of the programme. (how do Americans spell that word?)
A word to the wise though, the opening fifteen minutes is a bit racy and has content you'd say would be appropriate for those 18 years and over.That opening salvo featured Quanda and Shawn from Q-Gasm so you probably know what to expect.
The ensuing 45 mins showcased Trends who answered every question we threw at him.
That said, have a listen to the podcast (using the player in the left-column)
Great job Elle.
Catch her on Friday for another live edition of The Elle Word.
Elle, you thought I was kidding when I said I saved all your pictures, didn't you?
Get that restraining order, girl. I warned you.
Gabrielle has her third show today and her specially invited guest is Trends from I Love New York.
We had a whale of a time booking a guest this evening, primarily because we aren't that important, really. (lol) And, because we waited until the last minute; again.
So, for those reasons I am certain Elle is really grateful to Trends for agreeing to call-in this evening.
The Elle Show begins at 7pm EST (4pm PST) and Trends will be available to take your calls at 7:15 pm. But, we will be in the chat-room around 6:35 so you can join us there.
I should warn you that Trends is down with a touch of laryngitis so we doubly appreciate his calling in and we extend thanks to Groovy for making this interview happen.
Yeah, yeah, it's that Groovy; former writer for The Blogspot and now doing her own thing.
I bet you thought we were enemies, uh? I hope you didn't betcha house.
Anyways, here is the link for the Elle Show and the number to call is 646-478-5101
To the left of this article there is a player embedded in the column, you can use to listen to a recorded version of The Elle Word. It may switch to the live version when the program begins today but you really should use the link I provided to ensure you hear the live version.
Becky Johnston's Buckwild Sunday is the third most popular show on Blog Talk Radio. Can you believe that?
Unfortunately I missed last week's Show (her third) where she talked about the Lisa 'Left-Eye' Lopez documentary on VH1 and Episode 6 of Charm School.
Her call-in guest was Leilene from Charm School so why not give it a listen . I am listening now, actually; and you can too by clicking play on the player below...
When you are done with that head on over to Q-Gasm.
Cheers.
Oh, oh, oh, I forgot; Aurelius is debuting his show in the next few days. I'll pass on the details when I have the details to pass on.
Mannnn, forget the recap. I am not in the mood.
I'll post it later for anyone who cares about that stuff.
Here's Schatar's reaction to the drama that led to her being expelled...
I’m pissed as all *&;$#!! How dare they! Lets keep it real. The judges should have kept it tight and reviewed the film the same way they did for the etiquette segment. My character was defamed! This was an obvious and clear bias.
I was crucified - hung on an emotional cross! At a minimum, Monique should have said, 'Schatar,If I am wrong about this, I will offer you an opening act on tour with me, the way I offered Goldie to go on tour with me and implied assistance to Krazy about her CD.'
They should have brought me back that same night after they reviewed the tapes and kicked out the two girls responsible for their bold faced lies. The audience would have woken up to a surprise next episode when I say "I’m back!"
To buy Schatar's Single "MY MAN, MY MANSION, MY MONEY" Go here
So Courtney (Goldie) is gone, and good riddance. But for some heavy tongue kissing with Flavor Flav she hasn't offered much entertainment in either of the shows in which she starred.
Truth is, she should not have been cast for 'Charm School'. Her place should have been 'Somethin's' or 'Spunkeey's'.
And that's what Darra's (Like Dat) saying in the opening shot of Episode 6, "she didn't need no change so she needed to go."
With that it was time for the next Commandment, 'Thou shall payeth back', which made Brooke (Pumkin) think they were going to work at the side of the road with prisoners. (Uh? Bush's reasons to go to War made better sense than that...)
Mo'Nique explains that she has been very fortunate to have the means to give back, and today the girls are going to give the clothes off their back (and in their suitcases too), to a local charity thrift store (Out of the Closet, owned and operated by AIDS Healthcare Foundation)
Each lady needs a partner; their team-mate in the challenge, and they will take their clothes, shoes, handbags or whatever to 'Out of the Closet' for sale at a determined monetary value.
And then Mo'Nique drops the bombshell, "the team that donates the largest amount of money, will win the challenge, and will be totally safe from being expelled. But the other teams...two ladies will be expelled, as a team."
Saaphyri is a bit worried because she doesn't have much stuff (she must not be counting her ass and breasts)
Hottie has other concerns, "I spend most of my money on couture, which is like my favorite thing to wear 'cause it feels really good, and like, are they going to be able to benefit from these gowns?" (she is like, so annoying)
Becky asks Saaphyri to partner her (Why Becky? Why? She's a plain-ass mess)
Larissa and Shay team up (I'd love to have a threesome with those two)
Darra and Schatar formed a pair (Maybe it's because they both have college degrees)
And Leilene and Brooke are back together again (Watch her Leilene, she thinks you're sexy)
Actually, the reason Brooke picked Leilene (in her own words) is..."she had three suitcases of stuff and she was bound to have a lot of shit in there"
Shay is quietly confident because, "Brooke is cheap, Leilene is cheap and Darra is cheap as hell" (and Saaphyri beats people for flowers so you know she ain't got shit)
As it turned out, Saaphyri wasn't kidding around, she decided to take everything she "got" to the thrift store.
Leilene had a dilemma of her own. She wants to give away her mom's ring; her dead mother's ring. She's doing that because, "her life is gone and if this is gonna help save somebody else's life" she'd be happy to donate her "keepsake"
(I think that qualifies as stupidity rather than unselfish; but that's just me)
The ladies are all rummaging through their clothes, selecting the things they want to sell or keep; under the watchful eyes of Mikki Taylor.
Mikki Taylor is supposed to be likeable (Quanda said so before she left); but that's yet another thing Q and I will never agree on. This woman is platitudinous to the point of insult.
She says things you'd reject on a postcard like, "it's not about the quantity of what you give; to me it's about the quality of the heart and you are giving with the most wonderful spirit". (does she know the rules of the challenge?)
I doubt it, but that's the shit she told Saaphyri when the snowcone head, woman beater was crying because she had nothing to give. (has it dawned on you yet that Saaphyri isn't my favorite?)
And what annoys me further is Buckwild has fallen prey to Saaphyri's gimmick; and believe me, Saaphyri is all gimmick.
But enough with the editorializing; let's return to the recap...
Sale, No-sale
At the thrift shop the girls bargain with the sales guys (decently mannered gentlemen I have to say) and the first pair is Brooke and Leilene.
Leilene's clothes were either lace or see-through and as Keith said,"when your clothes say 'skank' it may not be the best thing to sell" (lmwbhao)
It got worse when Brooke found out they prefer clothes that "isn't directly worn on your breast or vagina" (I mean, really? Why would anyone take panties to a thrift shop? Bras I get; but not panties)
They were becoming a tad desperate as many of their items were rejected for stains and discolorations (with all those women in the house, Brooke's panties must have a lot of stains) and that prompted Leilene to offer her mother's ring for sale.
Brooke distances herself from the sale of the "keepsake" (under the gallons of spit there might be a heart, after all)
Leilene is adamant though (reminding us once again that it's her mom's ring) and receives $90, "take it or leave it".
Next are Shay and Larissa with the designer stuff, and they are immediately rebuffed. Shay asks for $50 for a pair of '7 jeans' (which seems fair to me because that shit costs like $200 each) but the guys are in no mood to be generous; it being for charity and all that.
Schatar and Darra came with the couture stuff but a lot of it was rejected because of a "funny smell"
Schatar's clothes were also rejected because it had a hoe in it...oops, I meant a hole in it.
And then came Becky and Saaphyri....
Saaphyri offers up a boots bought for $300 (rejected because of a stain) and $200 (offered $15 for it)
Wait a goddamn minute. You have $500 invested in two boots and you're crying because you have nothing to give?
The second mentioned boots was bought with your rent money which is the kind of shit that embarrasses black people. And if your rent is $200, you must be living in the top-floor of someone's refrigerator. (they kicked off Serious for her?)
Mind you, if someone offered me fifteen dollars for 2 1/2 months of rent I'd be hella mad. And Saaphyri was even madder dan dat (that's a Trini reference only Electra and Dana will get)
Saaphyri got mad upset (that's slang, not poor English) and grabbed her clothes, boots and whatnots. As she put it,"he was making me feel like my whole being was worth nothing" (This is what gets me with Saaphyri; she can move from stupid to Sartre in a single sentence)
And back to stupid again...
As Becky tried to becalm her and the attendant reiterated that he's just doing his job; Saaphyri found herself on the floor at the back of the store wiping snot from her nose with one of the items on sale. (smh)
Then she had an epiphany when it suddenly dawned on her that she should get up off that nice, juicy, thick, shapely ass of hers and contribute to her team.
Unbelievably her tantrum was rewarded with a $20 offer for the boots.
As the ladies sat in the bus to be driven home, Saaphyri sees an old woman leave 'Out of the Closet' with her boots. She chases the woman (I thought she'd rob her) and asks "how much did you pay for those?". The woman says "twenty" and Saaphyri's reply was "enjoy"
Back at the mansion
Challenge completed, Darra offers clothes to Saaphyri because she (Saaphyri) allegedly sold everything she owned at the thrift shop (well almost). But Saaphyri takes it the wrong way (given a choice this lunatic will always choose the wrong way) and believes Darra is...well who gives a fuck what she believes because it was wrong and dumb, anyway.
The two argue back and forth, with Saapyhri doing most of the "backing and forthing" until Mo'Nique interrupts the drama with an announcement to gather at the Grand Hall.
As they leave, Saaphyri screams at Darra, "fake ass, fake ass, fake fat-ass" (fake hair, fake hair, fake-ass hair)
The Result
At the hall, Mo'Nique reminds the ladies that "two people are going home tomorrow".
Darra's and Schatar's items added up to a donation of $641
Becky's and Saaphyri's totaled $868
Leilene and Brooke sold $823
And the pairing of Larissa and Shay negotiated $871.
Cruelly, Mo'Nique says the winners are Larissa and Shay........"until Leilene gave up her mother's ring"
The $90 for the ring gives them a net of $913, securing them victory and a prize of a shopping spree at 'Forever 21'.
Anddddddd, they can pick another team to accompany them.
Larissa was gracious as ever..."apparently stripper clothes are worth a lot more than I thought, unless she gave them a blowjob. Damn crack-whore!"
The next morning Leilene and Brooke select Darra and Schatar because they were the only team to congratulate them on their victory.
At Forever 21 the girls go manic at the opportunity of free clothes, particularly Schatar who amputates a mannequin to get at a white mini-skirt.
The real drama, however, is unfolding at home as Larissa and Shay -scared of being called to the carpet- engineer a plot to frame Schatar by hiding pictures of Leilene's mother under Schatar's mattress.
Saaphyri is plotting on her own; visiting Mo'Nique in her office to explain her side of the argument. Cleverly, she uses the opportunity when Darra is away at the shopping spree so her side and hers alone is heard.
Using her usual fake tears and feel-sorry-for-me speech she deceives Mo'Nique who goes so far as to use her drama-queen shit to explain away her beating a woman on Flavor of love 2.
(Mo'Nique can't be that dumb, can she?)
All the ladies are back home now and Leilene is searching for her picture (the only photos she has of her mother and children together).
With prompting from Larissa, the picture is discovered under Schatar's mattress.
Accusations and counter-accusations ensue but the only thing proven is Flavor Flav is a hell of a lot smarter than Mo'Nique because he would have asked to see the video; I think.
Mo'Nique did not; and after a meeting with Leilene and Schatar to hear their take on the 'theft', it was pretty clear Schatar would be going home.
Elimination
At elimination Mo'Nique reiterates the point of the challenge and singles out Leilene for going above and beyond.
Darra and Schatar are called to the carpet because they gave the least amount of money.
Becky and Saaphyri escape because Saaphyri "gave up everything "; but that's bullshit because 90% of her stuff was rejected.
Becky is ecstatic and says she wants "to pick Saaphyri up and just throw her around" (ever heard of Akon?)
Larissa and Shay are thus called 'down' to the carpet by default.
Dean Keith then addresses Schatar to say she seemed to not bring many items and instead relied on high-quality, but warned her that, "even at a thrift store, polyester is not considered high-quality" (Oh snap, lol)
Larissa and Shay were told they "walked out of the store with about as much as they brought in" and missed the point about generosity as they harangued over pricing.
And of course an elimination ceremony is incomplete without one of Mikki Taylor's aphorisms..."don't let your possessions, possess you" (yawn)
It's Mo'Nique's turn now and she polls the contestants, asking each in turn (including Leilene) if they took Leilene's pictures. All deny responsibility (including the culprits), though Shay could barely contain her guilt.
Mo'Nique turns to Schatar to say she has no proof and has to rely on history... "and history says that you're a thief" (damnnnnnn)
She goes farther, "when you do clownery; the clown comes back to bite"
With that she expels Schatar and her partner, Darra.
Darra, who really likes the sound of her own voice says "I wanted to learn from the mistakes that I was going to
make so I ain't have to make them any more" (at least you learnt feathers are not a substitute eyelash)
Mo'Nique then warns the thief that Karma will get them.
One final speech remained and it was delivered by Mo'Nique to Leilene, "with you giving away your mother's ring, you gave away memories. You gave away what you can pass down to your daughter"
Mo'Nique says, "I am honored to be in your presence " and returns the ring to Leilene.
That's it, show ended.
Thanks for reading.
Next week New York returns, so hopefully I'll have a more enthusiastic recap.
