I’m no snob when it comes to reality television. Give me Matchmaker Millionaire, Wife Swap or Ace of Cakes any day, and I’m happy as a clam. But with so many amazing shows on TV and so little time, I’ve got to be discerning about on which new shows I’ll squander my precious mental and physical energies. As with many things in life, one has to draw the line somewhere, and for me, that line is VH1’s Daisy of Love.
On Daisy of Love, Daisy De La Hoya, runner up on Rock of Love 2 and aspiring model/singer and “all around badass,” lives in a mansion with 20 badass rocker dudes who vie for her affection. If this sounds familiar to you, you’ve probably seen it before on The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Rock of Love, Flavor of Love and For the Love of Ray. Daisy of Love does not stray far from the formula.
I’m perfectly fine watching a completely unoriginal show, but this one is just so derivative that it’s painful. The mansion where they’re living has been used before – possibly on Rock of Love , Beauty and the Geek or Charm School. Daisy eliminates men by handing out chains, a la I Love New York, and when practically steals Bret Michaels, “Will you stay here and continue to rock my world?” line by asking the men if they will stay and “continue to be my rock star?” The show’s name is even a rip off on Rock of Love.
The success of spinoff reality shows is largely based on breakout personalities who appeared in prior shows. Flavor Flav got a show, based on his antics on The Surreal Life; New York’s hilarious commentary on Flavor of Love snagged her four spinoffs. I could forgive all the concepts stolen from prior reality shows if Daisy were in any way an appealing character, but she’s a whiny, sullen drone. Daisy had nothing important to say on Rock of Love, and not much has changed since she’s gotten her own show.
Unfortunately for viewers, VH1 gave Daisy a spinoff because the network thought that the type of guys Daisy would attract – eyeliner-wearing, tattooed musicians – would make for great television. That may be true, but it makes watching the lead character, a weak “straight man,” torturous. Cognizant of this, VH1 has Ricky Rachtman steering the show and providing the incisive commenteray, so that Daisy can focus on doing what she’ does best – i.e., standing around in cropped mesh shirts, twirling her Barbie hair extensions and contorting her plastic face into looks of confusion and disgust. VH1 took a gamble by leaving all of the entertainment up to the contestants, but it’s one that does not pay off. The show is total chaos with the puking and stripping and flexing matches, and Daisy lacks the force of personality to keep the guys in check. The ship of a show sinks, and not even the water ballons bolted to Daisy’s chest can keep it afloat.

And you just gave it more publicity. Sad.
don’t models have to at least have real eyebrows? I’m not so sure she’ll make it…
I’m ashamed to say I watched the premiere and her eyebrows are now MUCH better.
Am I the only one who doesn’t think she’s all that attractive? She seems really trashy and there’s something off about her face.
iTz H3R *WH0L3* FAC3!!!=]

Please tell me you’re using idiotic punctuation/capitalization/”spelling” ironically?
sadly, this is the best picture of her there is… only because her hand is blocking part of it and you can’t tell that she’s actually a little bit deformed looking
Its her lips, go look at another picture on google. Like she got stung by a bee or something.
I just love how someone sat down and said “How many socially frowned-upon matters can we involve in a single photograph of this woman?” and then someone else was all like, “I’m thinking 8 or 9. Let’s get to work.”
Yeah how are they getting away with having hopefully fake lines of cocaine on that mirror…

Seriously WHERE do they find the guys on that show? Is there a guido land that I just don’t know about?
Did you see those freaky triplets?
84, 85, and 86! Haha.
“Is there a guido land that I just don’t know about?”
I believe it’s called New Jersey.
MUSCLE MILK, HGH, PROTEEEIN!
I’m kinda ashamed but I gotta admit…I love her tats :/
I love watching stupid people puke and strip. Its a substitute for being stupid. Also, I know Chi-Chi and Sinister so why the hell wouldnt I watch it?
Welcome to America, where little mexican girls walk around with pregnant bellies in middle school and shit like “Twilight” can make it to the Best Seller list.
what are you even talking about?
since you know sinister and all can you please let him know I can be that girl that will appreciate him. looks & personality wise he won’t be disappointed.
Lol!! I agree. her face is so ugly!! Lol. It’s fun to watch, but i don’t understand why these ugly dumbass guys stand around waiting for Daisy De La Whore to get in their beds and then go home after terrible sex with a chick that’s been used so much, she’s like a flappy little balloon without air down there. Yay! So much fun poking your stick inside a mushy baggy shithole that so many other guys have hammered into lots of times before. Oh and btw, when some of them go home, they totally bawl their eyes out. WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?? “Oh my, I just got eliminated by a really fucking ugly retarded bitch. I think I’m gonna cry!”
This is fuckin hilarious omg!!
well i must say i am a lil taken back by all this hostility towards Daisy lol (kidding)……its a show people….reality show…and for what its worth thats reality for you right in the face…….yeah sure she looks like if she stood to close to a fire she would melt. and her lips look like a bull just suckd on them for about ten days but come on people she is her own character and a blast to watch i think…….and i would take six pack any day of the week and she would be an idiot not to select him or flex and maybe sinaster…….but us girls not famous or drunks could probably never meet them and show them a real woman…..(and they wouldnt be dissapointed i must add) ;-)
wow, i honestly can’t believe any of you.
she’s just a normal human being.
yeah….she’s uh…she looks pretty strange. almost as if every fake and unatural addition to the body a person can have…she’s got it.it sucks wen you go thru all that to look good and end up looking worse.
I’m overjoyed to say that I had never heard of this show before now, and that I would rather gouge out my eyes before than sit down and watch it.
isn’t is millionaire matchmaker and for the love of ray j…i totally watch millionaire matchmaker but i don’t watch for the love of ray j because…i don’t.
HAHAHAHA!!! ALICE Q’S COMMENT AHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like twilight! I might sit and watch all day long if I didn’t have school..or life to stay me from doing it! lol Wonderful Just Wonderful!
