Video:
The full screen 1.31:1 video looks just as it did when it was shown on cable. It´s nothing special other than the fact that there aren´t the annoying pop-up ads that constantly appear during broadcast.

Audio:
Anchor Bay missed the boat by only having one solitary Dolby Digital Stereo track. It sounds fine, but the lack of uncensored audio keeps this set from being great. I would have recommend this set with great fervor if it hadn´t gone the lazy route of forcing viewers to pay for the same show that they´ve already seen or could see without dishing out the extra dough.

Extras:
Possibly the only reason for picking up this overpriced set would be to see the five bonus scenes featuring uncensored audio. But, truthfully, the scenes only add up to just over twenty-five minutes and only the "phone sex" clip is worth watching. Hearing Rodeo tell Bret that she wants to BLEEP his BLEEP and BLEEP his BLEEP from the top of his BLEEP down to his BLEEP was pretty shocking. But in the end it just made me even angrier that the rest of the show was censored. It was as if the disc´s creators wanted to tease the audience with what could have been. The other clips involving food fights and Bret playing "Every Rose Has Its Thorns" for the hundred-and-thirty-eighth time on the show are pretty forgettable.

Film Value:
Even though Brett Michaels is an undeniable douche bag, and he comes across about as honest as a cigarette lobbyist, I really enjoyed every episode of "Rock of Love." From the early drunken antics of Tiffany through the gender-defying voice of Magdalena to the final reunion episode where the girls air their dirty laundry, it´s a show that will easily become most viewers´ guilty pleasure. It´s just really unfortunate that this show was not released "uncensored"; there simply isn´t a possible reason for keeping the "bleeps" in the show. After all, what person who plans on watching a show that revolves around a sex-crazed former rock star wooing a house full of strippers and models on their way to becoming strippers would be offended by a series of "f-bombs?" In the end, I´d recommend folks just watch the reruns of "Rock of Love" on VH1 and look for the uncensored "phone sex" scene on-line. Anchor Bay did the fans of the show a huge disservice by not allowing them to view the episodes uncensored.
