Although that's sad in a way, because it means that they want to get with a random celebrity rather than him specifically. And then they're all like, "I love him so much!" Arg. That's why I don't watch stuff like the Bachelor or whatever - the idea that girls are willing to fight each other for some random guy they don't even know (but are sure they are totally in love with).

All they knew was that it was an eighties rocker. They only told them while they were interviewing them for the show and they had to sign a confidentiality agreement about who it was and etc. So I don't think they were looking for huge Poison fans--they were looking for girls who would make good tv. It seemed like they kicked a lot of the hardcore fans out at the very beginning for being too old, which i think would be a problem for the majority of the hardcore poison fans around--despite the fact that bret michaels is himself no spring chicken. such is television and society. @bibberly: to be fair, if you watch the casting special it’s clear that they didn’t cast the show advertising that Bret Michaels was the star.

Yes, it's true that Bret had an alcohol problem back in the day, but I had thought he was past that now - apparently not entirely the case. I couldn't believe it when he was telling one of the women (Rodeo?) about his diabetes and she didn't know. I knew that in fifth grade! These women are not hardcore fans like I am, and I thought they could have found some real fans for the show. But yes, I did think of Stacey. And my mom learned to give her grandmother insulin injections (when she was a teenager) using an orange too.
