Monday Night Newbie

Will Mz. New York be just as addictive as on her own show as she was on Flavor of Love??

VH1 wanted to create a spinoff of Flavor of Love produced with a rejected contestant from one of the seasons. When the show idea was initially pitched, it was to be called "The Flavorette" and producers wanted it to star "Hottie" from Season 1. However, when "New York" returned as a contestant partway through Season 2, the ratings climbed substantially and their focus shifted to her. They ultimately decided that "New York" would be a better choice to bring in viewers. In October of 2006, "New York" confirmed that the show was happening and she had whittled her own contestants down to the final three at that point.

The show premieres tomorrow night at 8:00pm on Vh-1...tune in to see if its worth your time.
