Will you check the new shows headed to VH1? Tell us what you think.
Man this looks good, season two, funny but hard rules. the cast look like A=3, B=7, C=2 witch is great you need an c when things are getting good and they want to drag it out. but to many ruin a show. I like how it look like Travana will win (but so could chase or William if they got an advantage)
