You know what time it is.


Yes, tonight is the premiere of Flavor of Love 3. For those who are unfamiliar, the Flavor of Love television series features has-been rapper Flava Flav as he attempts to find love amongst VH1's own selection of "classy" ladies, past contenders having gained infamy by spitting in each other's faces and even making a bowel movement on his floor. It's great tv.

I must ask, though--has reality television captivated all of us so much that we really don't even need to see any element of "reality" in it anymore? C'mon, does anyone believe that Flav is going to find his true love this time? Furthermore, does anyone believe that any of his girls are looking for something more than a spot on the next go around of Charm School or their own "I Love __" series à la New York? They can't actually be serious about a relationship with Flav. Really, the only instantly apparent benefit to dating him is never having to wear a watch.

I won't deny that it's captivating. I know for sure that I'll be tuning in tonight, just as I did for Rock of Love 2 last night, because let's face it--pleasures don't get any guiltier than this.

Here's a sneak peek:
