the buzz log

After the freakish success of VH1's "Flavor of Love," you know the channel just had to create more celebreality competitive dating shows. The most recent, "Rock of Love," features Poison vocalist Bret Michaels looking for a lady to rock his world. And of course, there are plenty of women up for the job.

Viewers are eager to grab some popcorn and watch the show, according to searches. Queries on "rock of love girls," "vh1 rock of love," "rock of love with bret michaels," and "vh1 rock of love cast" spiked in the past week—after competitors Lacey and Dallas nearly threw down. Yes, those are their real names.

By far, the most popular of the ladies is Brandi C. An unsurprising 60% of dudes aged 21-34 helped cause lookups on the helium-voiced blonde to inflate by 1,240%. A distant second in line was "erin rock of love" (+497%). Compared to those two, queries on "bret michaels rock of love" (+79%) have a lot of catching up to do. But there's still time for him to charm searchers, especially those in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, and New York, who are currently the most addicted to the spectacle. If you're aching for catfights, rocker hair, pole dancing, and sloppy drinking, just try staying away from the mess.
