Why "Daisy of Love" Doesn't Deserve Love

Plastic Surgery Barbie Meets VH1

Brandon Elliott
Turn the channel to VH1 at almost any point in the day, and you will find yourself watching "Daisy of Love". Daisy of Love is the successor of the other "Love" reality shows, "Flava of Love", "Rock of Love", and "I Love New York" - and I'm probably forgetting some. What happened to all of the music countdowns, VH1?

My first impression of Daisy was that she looked like she had just as many plastic surgeries as Michael Jackson, except her nose was still in decent shape. Her lips were overdone, and I wasn't quite sure how she talked or drank from a cup. Her breasts obviously had implants--no complaints there. But to top it all off, her high cheekbones (most likely implanted) made her look like she was squinting her eyes at all times. She looked like a new kind of Barbie Doll, "Plastic Surgery Barbie".

Now I'm not saying that a few plastic surgeries is enough cause to say that she doesn't deserve to find love. I'm all for her finding the man of her dreams. But when she goes on a "reality" television show where men compete for her, you know she's NOT going to find that special person. What she's going to find is a bunch of people that think she's hot and that want to ride the show straight into their own stardom. Some of them may be sincere when they say they love Daisy and want to be with her, but would they love her if she didn't have a fake body? Or if they weren't on cable television?

To me, the show seems as fake as Daisy's lip jobs, but to the naked eye, it appears to be a sincere girl trying to find love among a bunch of rockstars and body builders. Aren't the words "rockstar" and "love" antonyms?

Of course, Daisy does deserve to find love, just not on VH1 and not to the detriment of pre-teen girls that watch "Daisy of Love" and grow up thinking they're ugly because they don't fit her plastic doll image. After all, what does she think is going to happen after the show is over? That her and the winner are going to live happily ever after? The most she can expect from "Daisy of Love" is a second reality show and a one week fling with the winner. That is why the show, "Daisy of Love" doesn't deserve love.

    Funny! Reality shows lack reality in my opinion.
