Finding your flavor: The epitome of 2000s dating shows

While most people watch dating shows to see people falling in love, I am only interested when there is iconic reality TV drama present. 

“Flavor of Love” is one of the first reality dating shows, airing on VH1 in 2006 for three seasons. It follows a group of girls attempting to win rapper Flavor Flav’s love, but this show was made for the drama. 

I cannot express my love for this show. I found this show on YouTube my freshman year of high school and have been hooked ever since. When you hear me talk, nine times out of ten you will hear me quoting this show; it is TV gold that has shaped me into the person that I am today. 

This show gave us the icon and legend, Tiffany “New York” Pollard, who truly is the backbone of this show. Every time Pollard is on the screen she says something memorable. I cannot tell you how many times I quote “does it look like I give a fuck because I don’t.”

 It is so funny to watch these girls try to win over this rapper they obviously don’t want to be with. They really are there to have a good time on TV, making some money. 

Since this is the first show of its kind, the drama seems so authentic, which makes it all the better, there truly is no dull moment.

This show is mandatory viewing. All the episodes are very easy to find and will be some of the best TV you will ever see.
