New York and Tango

Do NOT continue reading if you don't know who New York has chosen and you haven't seen the Reunion Show, mmmkay?

So NY chooses Tango, right? He proposes to her. And then there's the reunion. Just like the women in the Flava Flav dating show, (many of) the men are crazy opportunists, trying to act like they're sane for the cameras. Chance is all splayed out on the couch acting hard because he can talk big with the burly security guards to hold him back (in other words, protect and save his skinny butt from getting a beat down). Boston is just Boston. But that weird puppy-lover dude, oh my. That was interesting. New "girl" in his life. Boy, you crazy.

Tango, after hearing what NY has to say about his momma kick NY (word ?) to the curb, surprising the heck outta her. Crazy crazy. And then as the show is closing, Lala's all "I guess you di'in't find love NY, huh?" and NY is all "Um-hmm girl, let's get some dranks after this crazy show." Like we're not supposed to hear all this and as this is going on I'm wondering if VH1 is turning into Jerry Springer and how much of this crap is staged and how much is for real anyway?

I mean seriously. 'Cause they were all leading up to an I Love New York Second series as that show faded to commercial. From Surreal Live comes Strange Love then Flava of Love (1 and 2), then I Love New York and now Charm School. I think they've squeezed the life out of the oddity dating series. How weird these normal people (or well abnormal) reach this... well, surreal state of celebrity. But not because they are glamour fabulous but because they are completely insane and void of switch in most people's head that says I am NOT going on TV, unleashing all inhibition and actin' a fool so everyone and they're stepson can watch. Not only do they do it once, they do it more than once. They're fifteen minutes turning into an hour.

As Pumpkin says, "I don't regret spitting on her (NY) because ya gotta do something to get noticed."

Mmmmm. But noticed as what and by whom? Yeah, you're remembered. For being the girl that spit on that other girl on that crazy VH1 dating show. What's the glory in that?

OY-yoy-yoy. I like watchin' it, I do. But sometimes I feel downright guilty. Like I'm spying in on a group home for socially (mentally) challenged individuals, eating popcorn and cackling at the absurdity.

Okay, I watched the whole season of ILNY, but I missed the reunion show. What did New York say about Tango's mom?? And he what, asked for the engagement ring back? Now I wish I had seen THAT drama!

Did they mention Tango's real name? I was curious about that.
