editor@buddytv.com — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 07:00:00 GMT

No matter how real you may come off in front of a camera, the producers and editors of the show still have a hand on how you will be portrayed by cutting out some clips and making an entirely different story about how you were on the show. The same can be said for Hotlanta of the third season of Flavor of Love.

She recently wrote on her MySpace blog her thoughts on the competition and most importantly, the reunion show, wherein Flava Flav decided to propose to the mother of his children, Kim, instead of season 3 winner, Thing 2.

"Keep in mind that I lived [the reunion show] so just like the regular episodes. I know that there is a lot of editing that takes place, but I was really disturbed and disappointed by the editing of the reunion," Nikki Jamz, more popularly known on Flavor of Love as Hotlanta, wrote in her blog.

Since then, the women of Flavor of Love moved on to other ventures, and that includes Candace Cabrera, who’s more popularly known on the show as just Black.

"I’m doing a lot of parties and I just shot Smooth. I did a Hype Williams video for Lloyd and Lil’ Wayne’s 'Girls All Around the World.' Hype is amazing so he had us in silver body paint like robots," Black tells VH1. "I did The Foxhole with Jamie Foxx, which was fun. I did a shoot for an Xbox video game, too.

She recently spoke with VH1 to talk about her experiences on the show, and how her sister's presence in the competition really helped her through it. In fact, Thing 2 says that it was hard seeing her sister go after Thing 1's elimination.

"It was tough. You’re coming in with someone you know, you love and you trust. And then to have that taken away in such a stressful environment, it was hard," Thing 2 told VH1. "But we knew it was going to come to that. Ultimately, if Flav was really looking for love, he couldn’t possibly pick two sisters."

DeAnna didn’t walk away with nothing, though, as she soon landed her own show, The Bachelorette.

Another reality dating series that has surprised us more recently is Flavor of Love, which concluded its third season a few days ago. Coming close to the finish line to win Flava Flav’s heart was Thing 2 and Black, who eventually headed home after the finale.

Flavor Flav has said this third season will be the last for Flavor of Love, meaning tonight's reunion special is quite possibly the last taste of the show viewers will get. Once again, LaLa is the hostess. I guess Po and Tinky Winky were busy. The ladies are in the house, as are Flav's niece and mom.

Flav comes out and says this season's ladies were the nicest yet, not the craziest. Sommore, the comedienne from the Flavorette roast, is back. The amount of canned laughter used during her stale jokes is offensive. Ice comes down and says there are no circumstances under which she would sleep with Flavor Flav. Good for her.

Flavor of Love 3: Episode 12 Recap

editor@buddytv.com — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:59:29 GMT

Previously on Flavor of Love 3: The ladies went on the radio and violated every FCC code imaginable. Sinceer is an alcoholic (probably), but because Tree auditioned to be on America's Next Top Model, she was sent home.

Big Rick delivers the Flavo-Gram announcing the imminent arrival of the families, so the final four are forced to clean up. Flavor Flav hopes there are no Sister Pattersons in the bunch, which makes me momentarily like Flav, because at least his crazy detector is working. The biggest challenge is the bathroom, because Hotlanta's drunken vomit has clogged the toilet. Despite the fact that her family isn't willing to come on this silly show, Black steps up and takes charge of the situation, horrifying as it may be.
