"Awesome Pony": This Week's Best Sound Bites From Rock of Love 2

EAR FARM has a not-so-secret confession to make: we loved Rock of Love. Planting the sleazy rock cliches of Sunset Strip excess and eager groupies smack dab in the middle of prime time television, the initial series was like a shot of insulin (pun intended) to our summer television-watching.

And after providing Bret Michaels with the biggest career-boost since, well, ever, the show stubbornly returned two weeks ago, daring us to still believe that a) Bret Michaels is really on a quest to find his soul's counterpoint, and b) the "contestants" are also on board for purely virtuous reasons. Sure.

Don't get me wrong, the timing of Rock of Love's return really couldn't be more ideal. Though the writer's strike continues to whittle away watchable television programming (of late I've found myself identifying with the distinct personality traits of various American Gladiators), Bret Michaels and his pack of plastic paramours remain undaunted and steadfast in bringing the awesome.

And with sound bites like the ones below, who needs writers?

The premise of this week's show in 27 words: Bret hosts a peep show, a dance contest, and takes three girls on a quad-racing date. He later eliminates three that don't turn him on.

Choice Quotes From The Girls

Courtney: "I'm a sweet girl, I'm a caring girl, but apparently I'm also a blackout drunk girl. And you know, if that's not what he's looking for, maybe he's better off?"

Ambre (also explaining her peep show routine): "I'm wrapping myself up, because I'm really good at wrapping presents and stuff, and then I'm just gonna unwrap myself."

Bret: "Ambre might be one of the best kissers I've ever experienced. I got movement...heavy heavy movement."

And finally, this week's BEST QUOTE:

Bret: "I see a tongue darting out of a mouth, it's coming at me, it's large, it's fighting to get in my mouth, like a serpent. That tongue had made its way all the way down my throat, into my belly and tasted last night's supper."
