Flavor of Love is an American reality television dating game show starring Flavor Flav of the rap group Public Enemy.[2]
While not a direct spin-off, the show was a result of Brigitte Nielsen and Flavor Flav's failed relationship on Strange Love, as well as The Surreal Life.[3] Those two series as well as Flavor of Love (seasons 1–2 only) have aired in repeats on TV Guide Network. The third season of Flavor of Love premiered on February 11, 2008 at 9/8c.[4]
On May 14, 2008, it was announced that Flavor of Love 3 would be the final Flavor of Love. After 3 seasons, Flavor Flav chose to not marry or date any of the winners from any of the three seasons. Instead, it was revealed that he would marry Liz, the mother of his seventh child, Karma, on the season 3 reunion show.
The show was a ratings success for VH1. The Flavor of Love 2 finale was the second highest-rated non-sports basic cable show of 2006.[5][6]

A Living story about TV ratings Thursday incorrectly stated that the finale for "Flavor of Love 2" had the highest ratings this year among non-sports, basic cable networks, using information from VH1. An episode of TNT's "The Closer" had higher ratings in June.
