Rock of Love, as we've said before, has a train wreck quality to it. Of course, we can't keep ourselves from watching. We just find ourselves asking, time after time, what the heck is Bret Michaels looking for? There seems to be two Brets. One is the hard-rocking, hard-partying dude who loves boobs, bitches and beer. The other is more sensitive, sentimental and seems to want a decent woman who can nurture him and his children when they're with him.

We must admit that we love the second Bret a lot more than the first and prefer the gals who gravitate towards that Bret like Rodeo and Sam. We're hating on Lacey. She just really seems like a bitch who wants nothing more than to win a prize and prove that she's the best. We're on the fence about Heather and Erin and we really could care less about the rest except Jes. We're still trying to figure her out. She's got pink hair and reminds us a bit of one of our favorite childhood cartoon characters, Jem.

Anyway, this week, Bret asked the ladies to work in pairs. They could choose from a fast or slow song off his solo CD. Each pair was to write lyrics and perform for Bret and some guest judges. Some of the ladies rocked it out like Sam and Lacey, but others were just horrible. Rodeo chose to inject lyrics about children in the music because she's missing her son and wants Bret to know that babies are on her mind.

Bret understands that Rodeo loves her kid. He loves his little girls, but he thinks that maybe the stress in the house is getting to her. He sends her home reluctantly so she can be with her boy. He told the other ladies he'd really miss her, and we believe it. Of course, Bret is nothing if not resilient. However, he surprised some of the gals by sending home Brandi C., the buxom "message therapist" with a 'young soul'. This was even after he partied in his bedroom with her, Heather and Lacey.

The person most surprised by the dismissal was Brandi herself.

Awww! Poor girl. We're sure she'll get over it.
