As Rock of Love with Bret Michaels wraps up, the 44-year-old Poison frontman will be taking his final two ladies to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for an exotic getaway.  For one last time, Heather Chadwell and Jessica "Jes" Rickleff will each vie for Michaels' heart as they take him on private 24-hour adventures for a chance to prove themselves worthy of his affection before he returns home and declares the woman who “rocks his world.”

In the final episode fittingly entitled “The Rose and the Thorn,” Michaels will be faced with two options that come in the form of Chadwell, a 32-year-old resident of Las Vegas who worked as a stripper, and Rickleff, a 23-year-old bartender from Chicago.

Chadwell has wildly declared her love for Michaels by having his name tattooed across the back of her neck, while Rickleff, who boasts nine different tattoos but doesn't have one that says Bret, remains to be a vivacious popular favorite among the crowd.

Meanwhile, here are some sentiments from other people who best know the two remaining girls.

"She went through school… She's never been in any trouble.  She's always been independent, and I'm very, very proud of her.  She's come a long way and she's worked hard," David Chadwell, Heather's father, who still calls her “daddy's girl,” said.

Heather has been tight-lipped about who won Rock of Love but has revealed that VH1 had expressed interest in doing a spin-off with her.

As for Ricklef, sources say she has been in a serious relationship since the reality dating show ended.  On the other hand, it hasn't been confirmed whether it's with the Poison rock star.

"Jessie isn't like those girls on the show," Stan Systo, who lives next door to the Rickleffs told The Post. "I kept thinking, how did Jessie get messed up with these girls?"

"She has a wonderful smile," Gina Galassini, another neighbor, said.  "She was the cutest girl growing up.  She just sparkled.  She was so pleasant."
