The Counteragent wins! The Counteragent beat Cynsational 3 to 1
Bring back I Love New York for Season 3
Cynsational said
I know many of you out there will disagree with this statement (and that's putting it mildly) However, though this show might be the first sign of our imminent doom as a society, what other show provides cringe worthy grossouts, secondhand embarassment, AND accidental hilarity as well as I Love New York does? And, who DOESN'T love watching New York scream at, and then inevitably moon, contestants who get on her nerves? Love her or ****, but admit it, you can't look away either.
The Counteragent said
Not only can I not look away-I actually buy that Tailor Made is right for her. She likes money, he has money, they get along well, Sister Patterson approves, and they broke the reality rules and moved in together before the show aired. We don't need I Love New York 3-we need a spin-off following them en route to getting married, a broadcast of their wedding, and an intimate look at their quest to become parents together.
Cynsational said
As interesting as a New York/Tailor Made show might be, I can't see it being better than I Love New York. Watching New York boss Tailor Made around all day is definitely not as interesting to me as watching her interact with someone like It, who started licking her shoulder on the first night while she was talking to someone else, or The Entertainer, who sucked her feet in a hot tub (ugh, that still makes me shudder in disgust). Plus, in a Newlyweds-style show, you miss out on the interaction of the different men with each other. The brawls were some of the funniest parts of I Love New York and, as willing as New York is to give us the pugnacious goods, there's no WAY Tailor Made is going to stand up to her and give us a good old fashioned I Love New York brawl. I would love to see what that wedding looks like though...
The Counteragent said
Still, it's easy to get bored with someone who appears unable to move forward with relationships. Having such repeated attempts at fixing New York up with her one and only just makes her impossible to cheer for. The reason these shows work is shock value, which is diminished when they become too repetitive.
Cynsational said
New York is to shock value as Flavor Flav is to clocks, you will never find one without the other. We could get to I Love New York 50 and she would still be able to surprise viewers. The only thing that would make it too mundane would be repetitive contestants (i.e. the gangsta guys New York loves but Sister Patterson hates like Chance, the body builder Buddha-type guys, etc.) and lack of ideas (too many of the same type of dates). Many of your points are pretty valid, though. I know this is veering away from my original thesis, but perhaps New York should just scrap the whole dating thing and do a show about current events, like The Soup? I would love a weekly recap of news and pop culture with New York adding her own opinions and commentary...
The Counteragent said
I completely disagree about New York's shock value-she doesn't even remotely surprise me anymore, and for that matter, neither do Sister Patterson or the men who want to date her. Honestly, beyond potential for forward-moving spin-offs involving Tailor Made, New York's career is over, finally.

A third season is a bad idea, look how boring Flavor of Love 3 is.

Yeah, Flava was taking a lot of heat for having women just acting like **** on his show. Now that he is trying to make it less ghetto and more, don't know if I would use the word better, but he is trying to improve the image of his show (Sheryl Lee Ralph was on there!) and it's boring. Now I could do to see a Buddha of Love or they can have Buddha and Punk on there together trying to find love. it would be nice to see actually good looking people trying to find love.

i agree leave NY to herself. I myself thought the 2 seasons were beeeyond hilarious, but trying to make another would be a mistake. I'm not rooting for happily ever after w/ that sissy whipped Tailor Made, but I don't want another season. How many times can we hear her scream how she wants a good man to take care of her & she runs straight to the thug? I think her 15 mins of fame is up and time's ticking(like on Flavor Flav's clock) down.
