...aspires to be a dating competition in the style of “The Bachelor”—what it realizes is a giant, prolonged orgy for Flavor Flav, formerly of Public Enemy, with 20 women whom he calls by nicknames like Bubblez, Hoopz, and Miss Latin because his drug use has led to memory loss.…Tun a state-of-the-art Beverly Hills gym while coping with lovers who sometimes throw glass at them:Who doesn’t love Jackie, the openly gay trainer at the center of Bravo?...
...visitor can attest that they feel like two different countries. Cross the border into the Serb Republic from the Muslim-Croat Federation and Latin script road signs give way to Cyrillic, mosques to Serbian Orthodox churches.
