Flavor of Love is an American reality television dating game show starring Flavor Flav of the rap group Public Enemy. While not a direct spinoff, the show was a result of Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav's failed relationship on Strange Love. The show was part of VH1's Celebreality lineup and its format is similar to that of The Bachelor, with contestants living in a mansion and being put through various challenges while Flav chooses to keep or eliminate them. He is helped in his quest by his bodyguard and chauffeur, "Big Rick," his mother, and his former romantic partner, Brigitte Nielsen.
Unlike The Bachelor, each contestant is given a nickname by Flav (due to his self-admitted drug problem and his ensuing bad memory), and is referred to by that nickname for as long as they remain in the competition. When a contestant is eliminated, her real name is then revealed. Another difference from The Bachelor is instead of a rose ceremony, where roses are given to contestants that survive elimination, there is a clock ceremony where contestants that are not eliminated receive gold clocks to wear around their necks with their picture on them.
