I don't watch this show on a regular specifically for the fact that it is so popular based on played out stereotypes.... of Flav (i.e. sambo) and of black women (ie. loud, ready to fight, ghetto, money-hungry). Shoot, even Dave Chappelle had enough sense to realize that he'd gone past comedic effect into bafoonery. If they can pacify people with show into thinking that is just "comedy", goodness knows what is next.

And this is not only national TV, but VH1's highest rated show?!?

And yes, I won't be tuning into whatever how mess of a show is next either - except for maybe the first episode so I can see with my own eyes the travesty. lol

I don't find Dave Chappelle funny except for his Rick James, Charlie Murphy, and Prince skits.

I think folks should create a "comedy criteria" so that comics of all races can adhere to it. It's certainly unfair to only hold black comics to the standard, even if they seem to be playing up stereotypes of black men and women. Italian mobster movies play up stereotypes too which is one reason why they're so popular, just like Flava of Love is.

Buckwild looks like Joey Jerimiah from Degrassi High.

At least Nibblez doesn't look as dirty... as she usually does.

The reunion show was TRASH!!!!! I'm upset that:

1. They didn't show Flav meeting Deelishis's daughter Jasmine. She was a cutie pie on the previews,
2. Beatuful opened her cold sore having mouth to down Krazy and her opportunistic motives, knowing good and dayum well she was an oportunist herself. I'm still baffled that nobody on the cast knew she was an extra in "Roll Bounce" looking to get her face out there to get cast in more movies. If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black, I dunno what is.....

I wish Bootz woulda laid New York's tranny azz out on the floor. After all the BS she talked about some of the rest of the girls- especially about Deelishis's mother- and Flav's kids, she shoulda got it! Plain and simple.....
