The Bachelor comes to VH1

bourgy all-stars

The Bachelor comes to VH1.jpgWhen I asked who would replace Flavor Flav on the Flavor of Love I didn’t expect it to be ‘The Bachelor’.

But, Variety reports VH1 has bought the entire library of more than 130 hours of ABC’s reality dating series and will blanket its schedule with marathon showings during the first week in June.

Ben Zurier, exec VP of program strategy for VH1, sees no issue with viewers already knowing the ‘winner, saying, “people will watch it again for the intrigue, romance and backstabbing”

He added this was a perfect fit for the Network as VH1’s viewers will be predisposed to “Bachelor,” because the show has some of the elements of the network’s hit originals “Rock of Love” and “Flavor of Love”

    PBS porn is the only thing I watch on reruns.

  3. I hate watching reruns of everything.

    I have to go now, I’ll be back later.

  4. Why Why Why? I don’t like it when they show marathons of ANTM and I doubt I will like this..it is not the same VH1 It is not the same..

  5. It’s definitely not the same.

    And I am certain they paid a shitload of money, too.

  6. DO YALL REMEMBER THE INTERVIEW FROM THE ELLE WORD THAT WE DID ON THIS GUY? WELL HERE IS THE NEW REALITY SHOW ON VH1

    Are you tired of all the wacked out reality shows that seem to spring up all over television? Well VH1 has one more for you an its actually got an interesting topic. All day The Nation has been buzzing about the topic of race and how relevant it is in politics. VH1 is asking the same question with its new show “Interracial Love.” The reality show about a white male looking to find an African American girlfriend is sure to address the importance of race in relationships.

    According to VH1realityworld.com, the show will begin production in June for a fall sweeps. The series will follow Tobias White, father of two bi-racial sons Marcus and Zachary, as he attempts to find a sista to make his wife.

    “I’m a white male and I’ve always dated only black women. I just always have,” White told the website. “It’s not that I’m prejudiced against my own race, but it just seemed a better fit for me. And now I have two children that are bi-racial.

    “I’ve seen so many shows like the Bachelor and now Age of Love, The Rock of Love and Joe Millionaire. They always have 19 or 20 white women on the show and they’ll have one black woman. It’s almost like it was set up for the black woman to get voted off.”

    “To me, with the mother of my kids being black, I think it’s a disrespectful thing. And I was just thinking one day about a year ago that this would be a good reality show. Me and my sons want a good woman in our lives, and who better to help me find my Queen, than my sons? Who knows me better than my sons?”

    If race shouldn’t play a roll in politics, should it play a roll in love? I welcome your opinions.

  7. Oh lawddd; they really gave that guy a show?

  8. LMFAO @ the Age of Love
