Rock of Love is an American reality television dating game show. It features Bret Michaels, the lead singer from the band Poison. The show closely resembles its sister show Flavor Of Love.

The first season featured 25 girls competing for Bret's heart. The girls faced challenges, the winners of each challenge spent time with Bret on a "date". Some of the challenges were based on situations they might encounter if chosen to be Bret's girl. The winner was 24 year-old, Jes Rickleff from Naperville, IL. At the reunion she revealed she did not have romantic feelings for Bret, and that she thought he should have chosen the runner-up, Heather.

The second season featured another set of 20 women. This time around Bret chose 37 year-old Ambre Lake from Los Angeles, CA. After the show the two maintained a relationship, but parted ways after just a few months.

The third season is scheduled to air in early 2009.

Controversies

Season One

Controversy arose when it was claimed that Heather had tried to sleep with Vanilla Ice during the filming of another VH1 reality show, "The Surreal Life: Fame Games". Also, contestant Erin is overheard having a phone conversation with the boss at the restaurant she works at, wondering if she would have been able to wait on Justin Timberlake if she had been at work.

The two finalists: Heather and Jes. Jes won the first season; however, it was revealed in the reunion show that Jes did not have strong enough feelings for Bret. Jes felt that her connection with Bret was not nearly as strong as the connection between Bret and Heather; Therefore, she believed that Bret made the wrong decision in the finale, and should have chosen Heather.

The Hollywood Mansion where the contestants lived during the first season of Rock of Love was previously used during the fifth season of America's Next Top Model.

Two contestants on the show are adult film actresses:

*The contestant Brandi Cunningham (shortened on television as "Brandi C.") became an adult film actress after the show was aired. She goes under the stage name "Brittany Burke".
*The contestant Brandi Mahon (shortened on television as "Brandi M.") did some work like an adult film actress prior to the show under the stage names "Pamela" or "Purely Pamela".

Season Two

Controversy arose when the contestants' ex-boyfriends came to Bret Michaels's house. It was revealed that Daisy had been living with her ex-boyfriend, Charles, in a one bedroom apartment for 2 years. Eventually, when Heather, Jessica, Destiney, Ambre, and Daisy were in Las Vegas, everyone had something to say to Daisy about what they thought about her living with her ex-boyfriend. This did not get any better when the girls went to Bret's casino, so Bret decided to take Daisy away from the other girls and talk to her.

The winner of the season was Ambre Lake and the runner-up was Daisy DeLaHoya.

The Hollywood Mansion where the contestants lived was later used for "MTV's" "A Shot at Love II with Tila Tequila".

Season Three

"Rock of Love Bus" will be the third installment of "Rock of Love with Bret Michaels". Coming in early 2009, Bret will hit the road with his new ladies to see who can really handle his lifestyle. A crew member from the 51 Minds Entertainment production of the upcoming ‘Rock Of Love Bus’ series on VH1 was involved in an auto accident on Interstate 57 in southern Illinois on Friday afternoon. The crew member, who is not an associate of Bret Michaels or part of his tour staff, was traveling alone to the next location stop for the series. The accident resulted in two fatalities in one car and injuries to two passengers in another vehicle. The crew member survived and has been released from the hospital. Local authorities continue to investigate.

Bret Michaels has requested that his participation in the production of the series be temporarily suspended in deepest sympathy as he attempts to reach out to the families of the victims. Traveling separately, Mr. Michaels had left Illinois early Friday morning and was not near the scene of the accident.

Michaels, 51 Minds Entertainment and VH1 extend their deepest sympathies to everyone involved in this terrible accident.

“As a father of two, I cannot even imagine what the families must be going through at this time. I will make every attempt to reach out to them to let them know that my heart and prayers are with them during their time of grief,” said Michaels in a statement.
