So last week on the finale of Rock Of Love 2, Poison frontman Bret Michaels picked Ambre "I'm Not Wearing Any Underwear" Lake, a relatively sane and stable thirtysomething TV personality, over twentysomething bad girl Daisy De La Hoya. This seems like a mature and rational decision on Bret's part...which of course led me to assume that on last night's reunion show, I'd discover that it didn't work out and Rock Of Love 3 is already in pre-production.

However, it seems like Ambre and Bret are actually giving their relationship a chance; Ambre's even getting used to the rock 'n' roll lifestyle, consummating their heavy-metal romance with some heavy petting on Bret's tour bus.

This is probably a good development for us viewers, because we all know the third time is not the charm when it comes to this sort of celebrity-dating program. Sure, Flavor Of Love was awesomely dramatical and romantical, as was Flavor Of Love 2...but as the premise wears tissue-paper-thin on this year's Flavor Of Love 3, it's clear that Flav's time is up. And the same would probably happen if Bret gave it another go. After all, there's only so many times we can watch rock hoochies battle for Bret in roller-derby rinks, muddy football fields, and Vegas vomitoriums before it all gets a little old.

So, assuming that Bret and Ambre do end up making beautiful hair-metal music together--or assuming that VH1 opts not to extend Bret's contract for a third season--it'll be time for a little recasting and retooling in the VH1 programming department. Because there's NO reason to cancel Rock Of Love entirely just because Bret isn't involved. After all, there are plenty of other hopelessly single, reality-ready rockers looking for that one special skank to stay and rock their worlds!

So here are the top rock 'n' roll bachelors I think should replace Bret on Rock Of Love 3.

C.C. Deville - Bret's guitar-slinging wacky sidekick is a hands-down reality superstar. Remember C.C. on The Surreal Life and The Surreal Life Fame Games? Every word he squawked in that unintentionally hilarious parrot-from-Aladdin New Joisey voice of his was an utterly awesome insta-soundbyte. So just imagine him dating a bunch of Bret's sloppy-seconds castoffs (including his old gal pal Daisy), saying, "This is the first time I'm doing this sober!" about every 10 seconds. Then again, C.C. might not stay sober for long in a mansion equipped with 20 catfighting rock bitches and a fully stocked bar.

Dave Navarro - Not too long ago, this Jane's Addiction/Red Hot Chili Peppers axeman famously split from his strippercizing hottie of a wife, Carmen Electra. Well, since this guy's no stranger to reality television (he and Carmen co-starred in MTV's unfittingly titled Till Death Do Us Part, and he did a fine job hosting Rock Star: Supernova a couple years back), what better way for this copiously tattooed-and-tongue-ringed bachelor to find trophy wife #2 than on Rock Of Love 3? I just hope he and his chosen silicone-stuffed skank get to re-enact the controversial Kiedis kissing scene from THIS VIDEO on the finale.

David Lee Roth - Diamond "Just A "Gigolo" Dave has never married. Some might theorize that this is because he doesn't like the laydeez quite as much as his videos filled with pastel-bikini's bimbos might imply. But I say it's just because he hasn't found the Ice Cream Woman of his dreams. After all, it takes a truly special (and patient) rock chick to keep up with a totally unchained dude like Roth. Anyway, it actually boggles my mind that VH1 has not yet built an entire show around this high-kicking rock 'n' roll weirdo, a guy so out-there he makes Flavor Flav look like Bob Dole (read my DLR Q&A if you don't believe me). And it's about time that this situation be rectified. So I propose a bunch of bachelorettes compete for Dave's affections via a "Hot For Teacher"-reenactment school-desk strip-off. VH1 execs, are you reading this? Seriously. I ain't talkin' 'about love, necessarily, but I am talkin' 'bout PURE RATINGS GOLD. (Side note: And you know VH1 has to cast a bachelorette named Jamie, so when she gets kicked off and starts crying...well, you know where I'm going with this. This stuff writes itself!)

Kid Rock - Bob Ritchie (whose rumored past love interests include model Jamie King and "Picture" duet partner Sheryl Crow) made a brief cameo in last year's VH1 reality hit The White Rapper Show. And as his star turn alongside Scott Stapp (why???) in an X-rated tour bus video proves, the guy ain't afraid to get kinky on-camera. So, now freed from the Lee Press-On'd clutches of rock wife (and former Bret Michaels girlfriend/sex tape co-star) Pam Anderson, this eligible single dad is able to gleefully search for the Pamela clone of his rock 'n' roll dreams on a show potentially titled Kid Rock Of Love. Just let's hope Scott Stapp doesn't get his own dating show when his troubled second marriage inevitably crumbles. No one needs to see that.

Nikki Sixx - Darling Nikki already made VH1 history with one of the best Behind The Music moments EVER, when he described in horrifying-slash-fascinating detail the time he woke up from an overdose with a stale syringe dangling from his blood-crusted arm. (He also discussed his drug-related near-death experience and snorting ants with Ozzy Osbourne.) Yep, good times. Good television, at least. Plus, as this Yahoo! Music interview shows, the camera loves Nikki. As do many women out there, who were no doubt delighted to learn that Nikki had split with his Baywatch babe wifey, Donna D'Errico. So this guy with the looks that kill REALLY needs to start taping his own reality show (suggested title: LoveSixx) as soon as the Crue Fest tour wraps up. And since Rock Of Love 2 finalist Destiney has already dated a member of his side band, Brides Of Destruction, I suggest she go for a love upgrade and audition for Nikki's show, too. She could do better than a Sixx sideman, after all.

Richie Sambora - As his ex Denise Richards readies her own reality show about the unbearable, horrific hardships of being a gorgeous, wealthy starlet/single mother in Hollywood, it's time for Richie to get his life back on track. And on camera. He's been in the news lately for a DUI arrest (his daughter was in the car at the time--NOT good), so I don't suggest he shoot his own Rock Of Love series before his child-endangerment trial is over. Because any scenes of him doing tequila body shots with thong-flaunting rock babes would likely be used against him--quite effectively, I might add--in court. But once his lawyer gets him off, it'll be prime time for a bunch of buxom beauties to get him off, so to speak, on prime-time cable TV. He'll certainly give love a bad name...but he'll give VH1 some pretty good ratings! (Side note: Richie's private suite HAS to be furnished with a bed of roses. Please.)

Tommy Lee - No one gives better rock reality TV than another Pamela Anderson ex, good ole Tommy boy. As the "Hatchet Man" on Rock Star: Supernova (see a performance by that failed but not-at-all-awful reality group here) or the bumbling coed on Tommy Lee Goes To College, the guy simply lights up the small screen. Never mind that his Motley Crue mates tried to sue Tommy's manager over these reality-TV deals, claiming such shows tarnished Motley's indisputably spotless image (see more on that nonsense here). Because we all know this tattooed loveboy's return to the boob tube (heh heh) in search of girls, girls, girls would bolster Crue Fest ticket sales. Someone from VH1 get Tommy's manager back on the phone, now!
