A trio of quotes summed up last night's episode - and, really, every episode - of Rock of Love Bus:

• Ashley, on why she hates Natasha: “I don’t know, I just don’t like her face.”
• Ashley, on why her team will win: “One of their girls looks like a hooker that you would just find behind a dumpster."
• Bret Michaels: "I believe there should never have been a bra ever invented…I love a natural, or unnatural breast, either way."

You can review a detailed recap of the installment via VH1's official blog.

But we believe a photo says a thousand skanky, drunken words - so click on the following images from last night's episode of Rock of Love Bus and bask in the ridiculous behavior...

Who is making and breaking alliances just one episode into I Love Money 2?

This clip gives readers an early look...

Who is keeping secrets from whom on For the Love of Ray J?

This look at tomorrow night's second episode will give you an idea...

Attention, Rock of Love Bus girls.

Whichever one of you wins over Bret Michaels this season, you're gonna wanna turn away any time an episode of Friends is on.

"There is no doubt I find [Jennifer Aniston] to be very hot, smart, funny down-to-earth and a great actress," Michaels recently told Us Weekly. "She is creative and seems to be on top of her business as well."

Because he's Bret Michaels, the singer added: "Behind closed tour bus doors, she could rock your world."

For a time, it looked as though Stephanie Hogan was destined to take Jason Mesnick on a "hometown date" as one of the final four women on The Bachelor.

But the 34-year-old single mom from Huntsville, Ala., was sent home Monday, to the surprise and dismay of some viewers. In an exit interview, Stephanie talked about her connection - or lack thereof - with Jason Mesnick.

Throughout her time on The Bachelor, and especially after a date in which her daughter Sophia made a surprise visit, Stephanie Hogan spoke of the special connection she and Jason Mesnick developing.

However, after this past episode's Rose Ceremony, Stephanie conceded that she never saw that spark in his eyes whenever he looked at her. Still, she said she thinks - and hopes - that they will remain friends.

“I think we will [stay friends] after this. No doubt. I just had such a bond with Jason. I think our friendship will remain strong,” Stephanie said.

One of several single moms who left a child at home to be on the show, she said Sophia took her absence and her own appearance on national TV in stride.

“You know what, she had no idea. She thinks it's just a video. She didn't know she was on TV,” Stephanie said of her Sophia's feelings on the experience.

Stephanie said that after this season of The Bachelor is over and if she is still single, she would definitely consider becoming The Bachelorette if ABC asked.

Will she be the next DeAnna Pappas? Stay tuned!

Remember when we predicted that Melissa Rycroft would win over Jason Mesnick on The Bachelor? That spoiler is looking more accurate by the week, as the former Cowboys cheerleader has made the show's final four.

With our reliability intact, here's a new set of reality TV spoilers:

ABC will officially announce the list of contestants on season eight of Dancing with the Stars during its primetime line-up this Sunday night. But for those that won't be tuning in to Desperate Housewives or Brothers and Sisters, here's an early look at three likely contestants.

• Former Jackass star Steve-O. According to a source at OK Weekly: “Steve-O is taking his dancing very seriously. He’s committed to leading a healthy, wholesome life, and that includes mastering the classic moves of dance!”

• Exploitive mother and ex-wife of Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards. "She’s super excited and has lost a few pounds to tone up and get in shape," an insider told Life and Style Weekly.

• Country-folk singer and former van dweller, Jewel. “Jewel is so excited about being on the show. She loves to dance," In Touch Weekly reports.

Last night, American Idol whittled its number of contestants down to 75.

It did so via its annual group night, which divided the singers into various, cat-fighting groups. While we'd have preferred to have seen these crooners belting out songs on their own, here are a few lessons learned from the evening:

Tatiana del Toro is a nightmare. She cries, she whines, she invokes God too often... yet she's talented enough to likely move on.

Adam Lambert might finish in the top five. Sure, he's a bit over-the-top. But imagine if he can translate that Broadway-centric voice to pop/rock?!?

Danny Gokey (pictured) is great.  Matt Giraud? Decent.  Kris Allen? Definite sleeper potential.

Emily Wynn-Hughes' choke job was reminiscent of (dated professional basketball reference alert!) Nick Anderson's foul shooting performance in the 1995 NBA Finals.

Being a dancer is a big asset in this situation...

Oh yeah? Why is that, Stacks?

In the following video, Stacks is one of four women that introduce themselves to Ray J and viewers of his new VH1 reality series, For the Love of Ray J.

She does ballet and eats a strawberry; while Lil’ Hood complains about stereotypical men; Stilts talks about her Playboy past; and Cashmere discusses her realness.

Enjoy!

Exiled contestant Shannon Bair left heartbroken on The Bachelor, but she's still got a smile on her face - and not just because she's a dental hygienist. 

Shannon, who was eliminated along with Megan Parris and that Lauren girl from N.J., says that despite the painful goodbye, she wasn't obsessed with Jason Mesnick as it came across, and called her departure a "happy ending."

Shannon spoke with Reality TV World about her experience ...

Q: What did you think when [Jason Mesnick] decided not to hand out the final rose? Did you appreciate him not wanting to lead anyone on, or do you think that he should've given someone another week?

Shannon Bair: I actually appreciated that Jason was being honest because I was being very honest with him and if there wasn't a love connection it's better to find out sooner than later. I was there for love and I know that he was as well, so I think that him being honest and not leading anybody on was a good thing.

Q: During your last one-on-one moment before the Rose Ceremony, you told him you had "so much to offer" and asked him not to eliminate you. Is it safe to say that by that point you knew you were in danger?

Shannon Bair: Um, yeah I would probably say that's safe to say. It was really hard because the time with him that I had was very limited and we didn't have a lot of one-on-one time. So to get my feelings out in the small amount of time that I had with him was difficult for me, and it was a hard situation to try and tell him everything I wanted to tell him in such a short amount of time and that's kinda how it came out.
