If you’ve been following any of the VH1 shows for awhile you probably realized that the celebrities on the show don’t always seem to be there for love but at least say they are. Recently this has been seen in Flavor of Love 3 where Flavor Flav didn’t seem interested in any of the women and ended up proposing to none of the 65 girls who fought on the show for his affection. He did though propose on the shows third season finale to Liz, the mother of his latest child and a women who NEVER appeared on any of his shows. To make things even more worse, he says that he knew he was in love with her and wanted to marry her DURING the second season! This means that Flavor Flav knew he wasn’t going to fall in love with any of the girls on the show, although he said he did and did in fact do it for either the money or he was forced it. I’ve lost some respect for the VH1 shows. Of course I’ll probably still watch them but the thought will now always be in my mind.

Now that I got that little bit of info out it’s time for a rant. I LOVE the VH1 reality shows because they are so funny and generally have tons of drama. I also felt that there was at least a touch of realness in the show since at least sometimes it does seem there is love felt between the “celebrity” and at least one contestant. But now that Flavor Flav basically said his show was well all for show that kind of makes me wonder. Were Rock of Love and I Love NY the same as they were forced into it? I mean NY SAYS she’s in love with Tailor Made but is she contracted for a third season so that will have to change? Does Brett Michael’s really care about the girls that are there as he cries while some of them leave or is he crying happy tears knowing he’ll be raking in the cash? It also makes me wonder who in their right mind would even say they would be a “celebrity” on one of these shows now? It’s obvious that people will wonder if the show is real or not since at least two season of Flavor of Love were pronounced pointless by Flavor Flav himself! So yeah I ranted a bit but I think everyone should know what’s going on with VH1. It’s obvious they are in it for the ratings but seriously do they have to keep the people they have when it’s obvious they aren’t there for love?

I was lucky enough to get a chance to ask Jen from Big Brother 9 a few questions. She let us know how she thinks Ryan is doing, how she got involved with the show and how she thinks it will affect her and Ryan’s relationship. Thanks to Jen for the great interview!

1) How did you get involved in the casting for BB9? Did you send in a video tape, go to a casting call? And did you watch Big Brother before being on the show?

I have watched Big Brother since season 1 and said that it was a passion of mine, to one day, be on Big Brother! I applied 4 times and got a little bit closer each time. This past season, I went to an open casting call in Columbus and the rest is history!

2) As we all know you entered the house with your boyfriend Ryan. Were you surprised to see him there for did you know going in that you both would be in the game? If you knew, were you at all nervous about going in as a pair?

Yes, I knew Ryan was going to be there and I had no idea that we were going to be put into pairs on the show. Needless to say, I was very unhappy about NOT being paired up with him!

3) Going back to night one, you won the Power Couple. Do you still think it was a good idea to win the power the first night and do you still think that Jacob and Sharon were the best couple to evict?

Yes, I still think it was a great idea to win Power Couple, and of course 10,000 dollars! If I could do it all over again,. I would NOT have sent Sharon and Jacob packing. Instead we should have just stuck with our gut and gotten rid of Sheila and Adam!

4) What was sequester like with Parker after being evicted? We know he wasn’t too happy with the situation, did anything happen off camera that we should know about? He looked pretty angry when talking to Julie.

No, Parker and I got a raw deal and it’s very unfortunate that it didn’t work out to our benefit. Living with Parker in sequester was fine. We are like brother and sister. Off camera, we just said that we could have, should have handled situations differently, but it’s a woulda, coulda, shoulda kinda game and everything happened for a reason. We can’t go back, only learn from our mistakes and move forward. After all, it’s just a game.

5) Do you think being on the show with Ryan will affect your relationship at all? How do you think he’s been playing the game?

If anything, being on Big Brother will make mine and Ryan’s relationship stronger! I think it will bring us closer together than we have ever been! Absence makes the heart grow fonder. No one ever says however, how the heat hurts in the process! I cannot wait to have our LIFE back! I think Ryan has been playing an AMAZING game and I couldn’t be more proud of him! I love him with all of my heart!

6) Besides Ryan who do you want to see win the game and why? Who do you think least deserves to win and why?

Of course I want to see Ryan win this game! If he can’t win it then I would like to see Natalie win. She deserves it! Maybe Adam too! I don’t think Sheila deserves to win, at all! She has done nothing to deserve the grand prize. She has won nothing and is floating on by!

7) Do you feel you were portrayed correctly on the show and do you think the producers tried to sway you in any way during Diary Room sessions?

The way I was portrayed on the show is pretty accurate. I am definitely a little different in real life, not such a bitch! I do have my moments and I can be hard to get along with if you cross me, but I am a good person and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. There were certain situations that were edited and cut to make me look like a bad person. But, that’s what I signed up for! Everyone that knows me, knows the real me! Especially Ryan! I am not able to comment on the diary room….sorry!

8) What would you tell those who are applying for BB10? If you could give people who are applying any suggestions what would they be?

Never give up! If at first you don’t succeed, try try again! It took me 4 times!

9) Is there anything you’d like to get off your chest or anything else you would like to say to your fans and fans of the show?

Keep watching! It’s a great show! The only thing that I would like to get off my chest is that the whole racist thing is NOT as it seems! They cut out a huge part of that conversation! Most importantly….Ryan is NOT racist and I wasn’t campaigning against him. That conversation with Sheila happened before I was even nominated! I took the comment back, reworded things, and explained it in a way that wasn’t so harsh…..but of course that’s not how they showed it to America. All that matters to me is that Ryan knows the truth and he does and I am not at all worried about it or our relationship!

I would like to thank Jen once again for the great interview! If you would like to keep track of Jen and send her a message you can check out Jen’s MySpace.
