Rock of Love

Bret Michaels, lead singer of the Rock band Poison, welcomes 25 young ladies to his rocker lair in the hopes of finding that one special girl he can call his own.  In order to help him with this great task, Bret enlists the help of his friend, who is also his tour manager and head of security, Big John. After the girls explore the house and meet each other, Bret has them line up for a special photo shoot. Here, he gets the first taste of  the girls' personalities, as he snaps pictures of each of them for what will become their V.I.P. Backstage passes.  Some are sexy, and some are…well not so much.  After the shoot, it's time for cocktails and a backyard mixer. Trying desperately to make an impression on Bret, the girls pull and tug at him and compete for his attention, leaving Bret a bit overwhelmed. When the girls finally get him alone, and the conversation begins, Bret realizes all those years on the road has made him a little rusty at dating.  Getting to know these women is going to be more difficult than he thought. During the party, one girl in particular, gets drunk and out of hand and causes quite a commotion in the house. Will she be one of the six going home that night?

With 16 girls all fighting for Bret's affection, tensions are running high and alliances are being formed as the ladies try to eliminate each other from the competition for Bret's heart. Lines are drawn in the sand and the division of the house is formed: The Good Girls and the Bad Girls. This week Bret decides to put the ladies through the ultimate test of a rock star's girl friend: phone sex.  Can these ladies entice Bret with only their sexy voices? The 3 lucky winners will have the opportunity of a lifetime as they experience a huge part of Bret's life, while the remaining girls hope they've made enough of an impression on Bret before the next elimination.

Bret loves motorcycles, so he challenges the twelve remaining girls to put the pedal to the metal in a motocross relay race. But first the girls have to learn how to ride and it's not as easy as it looks. They fall, nearly run people over, and even lose an acrylic nail or two in the process. Then they divide into three teams for the race. The team that wins the race gets the dates. Tensions from the race lead to two of the girls going at it heavy back at the house. Later things get awkward when two girls from the winning team compete for Bret's attention on an intimate drive-in movie date in the backyard. The next day, the other two girls enjoy a bikini date with Bret as the Good Girls and Bad Girls continue to avoid each other back at the house. When Bret gets wind of the battle that occurred between the two girls post-motocross, he decides he might have to do something before they kill each other. Will one of them be going home before the night is over?

Bret wants a woman with a creative side, so he gives the remaining 10 women a music challenge.  In teams of 2, the girls write lyrics to one of Bret’s tracks then perform their song on stage in front of Bret, Big John and a special guest judge.  The winners get dates with Bret.  After the first date a full-blown party breaks out at the mansion and a few of the girls tempt Bret with some scandalous moves.  Upset by the antics, one of the other girls considers going home.  The next day Bret goes on a horseback riding date and finds a deeper connection with a soft-spoken girl.  Struggling between his love of partying and his desire to find a real relationship, Bret must pick two more women to send home broken-hearted.

Eight girls remain and Bret wants to see who's willing to get down-n-dirty for him in the First Annual Bret's Mudbowl!  With a one-on-one date on the line, Bret's sexy girls literally shed blood, sweat...and even their clothes, trying to score for their man.  But when the girls take the tackling up a notch, unsuspecting players suddenly find themselves on the injured list and watching the rest of the game from the bench.  That night, the game MVP is treated to a one-on-one date like we've never seen before as Bret whips out his guitar and a sweet ballad in the hope of making a rock-n-roll connection.  Meanwhile, losers of the Mudbowl challenge join forces in a scheme to target girls for elimination.  Their tell-all letter to Bret ignites a wave of backbiting and suspicion that ultimately lands two girls at risk for going home.

The seven remaining girls in the house get an early morning wake up call from Big John. The next test at hand is The Tour Bus Challenge. The ladies compete in various challenges all relating to the life of a musician on the road, and the winner gets a solo date with Bret.  That night, the girls help Bret celebrate his birthday and a wild party ensues.  One of the shyest girls surprises everybody at the party and finally comes out of her shell.  But two of the Bad Girls conspire to put a damper on her fun and find a way to get the shy one to retreat back to her room. The next day Bret gives the girls another assignment, the girls must write down why each girl in the house is not good for Bret. The girls are forced to be brutally honest face to face with one another. This uncomfortable and awkward activity, causes the Good Girls to gang up on the meanest one of the Bad Girls, as they write down information about her that they hope will convince Bret to send her packing. Will the message hit home?
