I can't be bothered to write about the 7.5 million viewers who made it their business to witness the Season Finale of "Flavor of Love 2" when Reuters has a perfectly good report I can borrow. So here it is with some modification...
The return of New York thrust the season ending episode into the #1 Telecast on Cable for the Night, the #2 Telecast overall for the week and the #1 non-Sports Telecast on Basic Cable for the entire year.
The bottomline is Flavor of Love is a massive hit and money making machine regardless of the misgivings and negative opinions of the pseudo-intellectuals, the feminists and those who think every show with a black man not playing the role of a doctor is a return to coondom. Fuck all the haters, you don't like it? Don't watch!
You hate it that much? Write letters, stop buying SunSilk and if you ever see someone with a Helio...call it a cellular phone or something.
The raw facts for the season finale of "Flavor of Love 2" reveal the program averaged a 4.6 in the valued 18-49 demographic and surpassed last season's Final Episode to becomes VH1's highest-rated telecast ever. Thanks to the Flavor of Love, VH1 now ranks #4 among all basic cable networks during Sunday primetime.
The above is largely because the Show has brought a lot of African American viewers to VH1. "Flavor of Love 2", according to the Nielsen Ratings encouraged 1 out of every 3 African Americans watching television on Sunday night to tune in to VH1. The series has consistently been the #1 program in its time slot on all of television (cable & broadcast) among African-American adults 18-49 throughout its series run.
In other news, VH1 announced on Tuesday last that "Flavor of Love" seasons 1 & 2 are now available for purchase and download, exclusively, on the iTunes® Music Store.
The launch of "Flavor of Love" on iTunes® marks the first time episodes of the hit series are available for purchase and download; the cost is $1.99 per episode.
The show has also driven record levels on all of VH1's digital platforms - broadband, mobile and VOD. "Flavor of Love" streams on VSPOT -VH1's broadband channel- hit a new 1-day single show high with 1.1 million streams on Monday, October 16 (the day following the Finale).
"Flavor of Love" content is also the most popular video content currently offered on VH1 Mobile with its weekly "Flavor of Love" mobile phone poll achieving significant growth with participation increasing ten- fold since the second season began in August.
Man, I really hope Flava Flav negotiated well because VH1 is making a killing from this show.
Good Sunday to you

Goodness....thats incredible....I hope so too...that Flav negotiated well with them...I hope he didnt underestimate himself and his show...
he has definitely ressurrected his "name" .... plus added a whole new generation of followers .. youngsters who had never heard of Public Enemy or Flavor Flav and his clock.
notice i did not say his c**k.
but i digress .....
one of my closest friends is a 39 year old black man and one monday after we were discussing our weekends, i casually asked ... "do you ever watch Flavor of Love" .... (he works at a law firm) ... thinking that certainly he wouldn't waste his time .... and his response was something along the line of ... "man that Buckwild is nassssty" .... omg i couldn't believe he actually watched it!!!
hahahahahah
i also got most of my co-workers watching .... completely tooo funny.
i sure hope the August 2007 thing on the Flavorette is wrong ... because VH1 needs to capitalize on that PRONTO ..... if we have no FOL episodes for another year .. i doubt it will have the same impact.
I have had the same experience with FOL that you have...There are 40 year old cuban women at my job that watch this damn show and call each other during the commercial breaks to talk about what happened....Novelas have been replaced by "El Morenito Pequeno"
If you trace it back to The Surreal Life, and project forward with the album and "Flavorette" this may just be remebered as, The Decade of Flav.
I'm positive that there is someting in the Book of Revelations about that but I cant find the verse.
lol @ jayjay
love "the Decade of Flav" ... no doubt.
yeah you can buy it from itunes if you are an idiot with your money. or you can download it from irc, torrents, limewire, edonkey, or any other p2p means. screw giving vh1 money for this garbage.
I hope he had his Attorney during negotiations
