Thank You!, But What does Jawn Mean?
•May 24, 2011 • 2 CommentsNew Jawn Of The Week – Megan Hauserman
This week’s Jawn Of The Week isn’t the most brand new broad to hit your television set, but that’s not to say she’s not one of the finest. Megan Hauserman dominated reality TV for a few years with runs on a few different VH1 series and winning a cool $125,000 on Beauty And The Geek. Megan has gotten her naked on as the Cybergirl of the Week for Playboy in the past and now she managed to find herself a potential husband the old fashioned way, no thanks to this creep. Odds are you might bump into three other babes just as fine walking down the streets of Boca, but how many made it into the spank bank because of this.

Calling Cupid: The Best of Reality Dating Shows Need a Valentine? You might try applying to one of these shows.

After getting pummeled in the face with reminders (read: ads) that Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, we can’t help but feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Or is that jaded and cynical? We sometimes can’t tell the difference anymore, especially with how often television turns finding true love into a game show.
In fact, reality dating shows are so plentiful, they are pretty much their own genre these days. We figured the Loviest Holiday of the Year was a pretty good reason to highlight some of the most memorable offerings and rank them from worst to best, based on three categories. So, grab a box of See’s Candies and some roses and join us for a trip down a “romantical” memory lane, won’t you?
A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila
Tila Tequila became buzzworthy after getting tons of friends on MySpace (remember that website?), so it was only a matter of time before MTV found a way to gimmick her out by granting her her own bi-sexual dating show, which lasted two seasons.
Sincerity: 1. Maybe Tila really was looking to settle down, but the way this show was set up –featuring male and female contestants, who were also hooking up on the side — made that virtually impossible.
Success: 0. Honestly, no good can come from a dating show on MTV. Just think about the mayhem that transpires on The Real World when housemates hook up, and multiply that by 100.
Entertainment value: 7. That being said, it was a new twist on a tired concept — would Tila choose a man or a woman? How many threesomes would transpire? How awkward would it be that all the contestants had to sleep in one enormous bed together? Juicy!
TOTAL: 8
The Bachelor
Sincerity: 3. Sure, it depends on the season, of course. But what guy would turn down the opportunity to openly date (and make out with) 20 hot ladies all at once, and not even get in trouble for it?
Success: 1. The longest relationship between a Bachelor couple — five years — was between Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado from season six, but the rest of them have fizzled within months, making any Bachelor pairing an instant butt of jokes.
Entertainment value: 4. We used to rate this higher before we started making drinking games out of cliche phrases like “amazing journey” and “the most dramatic rose ceremony EVER!” Perhaps it wouldn’t seem so cumbersome to sit through if it didn’t drag on for two hours every week.
TOTAL: 8. (Seriously, an 8! Why can’t we stop watching this?)
Megan Wants a Millionaire
Rock of Love contestant Megan Hauserman made a career of reality TV for a while. Millionaire was her fifth — and last. So far, anyway.
Sincerity: 10. Megan really did want a millionaire. She’s said from the get-go on ROL that her lot in life was to become a trophy wife.
Success: 0. Her show was shut down after a contestant killed his wife, and then himself. That is so many kinds of wrong, we’ll just leave it at that.
Entertainment value: 0. Never really had a chance to get going, and we’re sorry about that. Megan is nothing if not entertaining.
TOTAL: 10
I Love New York
This VH1 offering took the two-time Flavor of Love runner-up/lunatic Tiffany “New York” Pollard and gave her a platform all her own.
Sincerity: 6. We believed Pollard wanted to meet a man, but not as much as she wanted to be a F-list celebrity.
Success: 0. Come on, now. Do you really think there’s a man alive that could deal with her diva-like outbursts and her omnipresent mother?
Entertainment value: 9. Over-the-top New York was meant for reality TV, and when she was coupled with a bunch of moronic meatheads that enjoyed throwing punches, it made for excellent viewing. (Note: One of those ex-suitors is now married to Jennifer Hudson. Crazy, right?)
TOTAL: 15
Chad Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch
Sincerity: 9. In hindsight, we see that the footballer and Dancing With the Stars standout wasn’t opposed to becoming a one-woman man, but…
Success: 0. not with anyone from his dating show. He became engaged to Basketball Wives cast member Evelyn Lozada two months after Ultimate Catch was over.
Entertainment value: 6. As expected, there was some cattiness between the contestants, but it paled in comparison to most of the stuff we’ve seen on other shows.
TOTAL: 15
Flavor of Love
Sincerity: 8. We actually think Flavor Flav was desperately looking for someone to love. Even if he was a “celebrity,” it was hard to imagine that women were beating down the door, in hopes of scoring and aestetically-challenged, ex-crackhead who dressed like an old-school pimp and had more offspring than Octomom.
Success: 1. Granted, Flav was no Prince Charming, but the women they brought on this show were some of the most horrifying people who’ve ever made it on television. How on Earth could Flav find a suitable mate when producers choose women that poop on a staircase and spit loogies on one another?
Entertainment value: 10. Besides the living spectacle that is Flavor Flav, the contestants were total train wreck material. We wanted to stop watching, but it was physically impossible.
TOTAL: 19
Rock of Love
Nobody was more surprised than us when Bret Michaels emerged from relative obscurity into endearing reality show superstar. Finally, after three seasons of Rock of Love, he realized his true love was already in his life and deprived us of a fourth season. Sincerity: 5. Bret Michaels seemed to like the idea of having a steady gal, but always made it clear that his rock n’ roll lifestyle meant that he’d still hump other chicks on the road.
Success: 5. The first season was a bust, but his relationship with season two winner, Ambre Lake, actually lasted several months — longer than many pairings from The Bachelor.
Entertainment value: 10. If this show didn’t, um, rock, there’s no way it would have gotten three seasons. For that reason, we’re sorry Bret has settled down.
TOTAL: 20
The Bachelorette
Sincerity: 9. It always stuns me when women still use the term “fairy tale ending” as a possible outcome for a dating show. Yet, I really, truly believe that the women that get recycled for The Bachelorette, believe that’s how it will go down.
Success: 9. Granted, there’s only one success story to date. The first Bachelorette, Trista Rehn, has been married to her pick, Ryan Sutter, for more than seven years. That doesn’t make up for all the other dud pairings, but I believe that’s the longest made-for-TV relationship from any dating show thus far, and that counts for a lot. So far, Ali and Roberto are still going strong, too.
Entertainment value: 3. Dudes just aren’t as catty as women, so the goings-on in the house aren’t nearly as interesting as when there is a house full of female suitors. But, the hope of Cinderella finding her Prince Charming prevails — and overall, so does The Bachelorette.
TOTAL: 21
