I don't watch that show, but at least it says he's a Harvard Law grad? Was he really skanky on the show?

I'd be more concerned that they haven't been dating very long.....

I don't know him at all. I don't watch reality TV. Is he that awful?

Oh kids, if you're on I Love New York, you're already a skank. If you're on I Love New York 2, you're beyond skankalicious. And you don't have to have seen the show to know that - just the promos alone tell the tale.

I watched the show. It was a pure guilty pleasure of mine.

He has pluses in the sense that he is a Harvard Grad and very handsome.

But..

I'd SERIOUS think more than twice about the sincerity of someone who proclaims LOVE on national TV for New York.

Just smells fishing... and is WITHOUT New York being in the room.

Okay, more ignorance on my part (because I REALLY don't watch reality TV)...

I've never seen a promo. What exactly is I Love NY and it's lesser-loved sequel? What did they "realistically" do on these shows?

Forgive my ignorance, but as strange as it may sound to you, they didn't show promos for this one on TCM or the History Channel or PBS. Or even HGTV.

Shocking, I know.

If I remember correctly- he was one of the nicest guys on that show. Definitely too good for Tiffany (New York). I just wonder how they met and how long after she broke up with her high school sweetheart she had dated for many years.
Oh, and Besty- all of these shows are just mindless guilty pleasures. Their appeal is the fact that they are just so stupid, staged, and ridiculous. Based on your posts, you would probably call her show PURE CRAP! But then again, that's why I watch! lol

Don't feel bad Besty - I saw the title and could only think of those ads with the Broadway actors standing in Times Square and singing "I love New York....." I've never seen the show either.

besty, the promo for the latest season had Tiffany Pollard (aka New York) dressed as Dorothy and clicking her heels. I think she said, "There's no place like New York," or something like that. I don't watch TV either and I've never seen the show, but I saw the commercial last June at a bar that was playing NESN. Go figure!

Anyway, I tried searching for a clip, but all I could find was this pic:

Best, while I do own a "Television" I only watch the BBC, some of the better news stations and of course, PBS. I read an artcile about this show in Atlantic Monthly and it's apparently a "Spin off" of Flavor of Love. "New York" was a contestant on that show, and while she didn't win Flav's love, she was so "Skankalicious" (I think that's the word) that they gave her a show- "I Love New York" where men (all identified only by nick-name, like "Six Pack" or "Midget") compete for the "Hand" of miss New York.

It's the sort of programme that you can only assume puts amoxicillin on the craft services table as the "cast" is made up entirely of talentless lowlifes who jump in and out of bed (and the bushes) with Miss New York at the drop of a hat. I believe William F. Buckley once said of the show "I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob."

Indeed.

I have seen bits and pieces of the show and it honestly sickens me. JMO

I'm toning down the original title of this thread. I'm not comfortable with how harsh and judgmental I was.

Good luck to Hudson, I wish her well

Oh, no, Blonde, you had it right the first time.

He's a mezzo finook too if you ax me.

LOL - "Flavor of Love", and "I Love New York" for that matter are two of the craziest, skankiest, trashiest, and hilariously awesome reality shows ever to hit TV. They are on VH1, they are horrible, they make me think the end times are finally near, and I love them.

Tiffany "New York" Pollard was a contestant on "Flavor of Love" - TWICE! And Flava Flav rejected her twice. Then she got her own spin-off "I Love New York" where guys like Midget Mac, Whiteboy, and Taylor Made competed for her love! lmao.

Taylor Made won, and Tiffany now has another reality show on VH1 based on her trying to make it as an actress in hollywood. "New York Goes To Hollywood", thats where the dorothy photo from above comes from.

Its honestly just horrible trashy mindless jerry-springer-esue reality TV. but its a guilty pleasure.

And not that he deserves it, but in "Punk's" defense, he was probably the most normal manskank on the show. So I guess it could have been worse for her. I believe him and JHud have been together for a while.

But yeah, odd that she isnt with her high school sweetheart anymore. Good luck to her. Her new song is hot. "Spotlight". Updated On: 9/15/08 at 02:24 PM

She was engaged to her high school sweetheart, James Peyton who she was with for 8 years and split up with him but she's going to marry this guy she's known for like what, 6 months?

Oy, what fame will do to you.

This is JHUd's fiancee, David Otunga.

Jennifer is obviously ignoring all the BIG RED FLAGS that are a'flyin.

Posted: 9/15/08 at 2:44pm

O, Tunga me!

The only show that is skankier and sleazier than this is the one with Tila Tequila.

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 9/15/08 at 3:10pm

Oh no.. Flavor of Love is about three degrees skankier than I Love NY.

Posted: 9/15/08 at 3:37pm

You are not going to believe this, but he's a Harvard Law graduate and was employed as a litigator at one of Chicago's top law firms.

"Hey, Harvard makes mistakes. Kissinger taught there."

Posted: 9/15/08 at 3:52pm

No doubt. I was thinking more about why you'd throw away a law career to be on "I Love New York."

[lildogs]

Posted: 9/15/08 at 4:04pm

Literally!

This reeks of Star and Al all over again.

I think the old boyfriend is much better off, because clearly Hollywood has gotten to Jennifer.
