Rock of Love Bus - Episode 11
Cast Members Jamie, Taya and Mindy Remain, Jamie is Sent Home
Apr 6, 2009
In the previous episode, the remaining Rock of Love Bus cast members continue their competition for Bret Michaels' affections with a challenge: write lyrics to a song (played by Bret) based on their feelings about Bret.
The challenge exposes Mindy's insecurities and her unwillingness to try new experiences — a distinct flaw in Bret's eyes — while Taya absolutely shines, exuding confidence and talent during her performance. Jamie and Beverly both deliver mediocre performances in the Rock of Love Bus challenge.
Rock of Love's Taya wins a date with Bret, who then announces a twist: he gives one of the other cast members an opportunity to come along on the date. In the end, Beverly joins Taya and Bret on the overnight date, which entails a flight on a private jet to Texas for a performance of The Bret Michaels Band.
But the date with Bret and Taya is not a pleasant experience for Beverly, who clearly feels like the third wheel. To add insult to injury, Beverly gives off a "groupie" vibe when she pulls out two teddy bears for Bret to autograph for her children.
In the end, Beverly is eliminated from the Rock of Love Bus cast, leaving just three women to compete for Bret's affection and attention: Taya, Mindy and Jamie.
Episode 11 of Rock of Love Bus - Who Gets Sent Home?
The Rock of Love Bus cast leaves "the pink bus" for the final time as they arrive at a hotel in Miami. Taya, Mindy and Jamie arrive in their hotel room to find Mardi Gras-style outfits for each girl. Taya and Jamie maintain a sense of humor, but Mindy is an absolute buzzkill when she refuses to wear the outfit, again highlighting her unwillingness to try new things.
Tensions seem to heat up between the remaining cast members in episode eleven. In fact, Bret gets extremely frustrated and threatens to send all three women home when the cast members remain silent through a dinner as a result of the tensions.
Mindy attacks Taya for her seeming "perfection" and lack of flaws, which Mindy believes is a facade. The fracture in Mindy's and Taya's friendship spurs Jamie's decision to pal up with Mindy in an apparent attempt to keep her rivals close at hand.
Bret takes the remaining Rock of Love cast members on dates in pairs and the outings are fairly uneventful, with just one exception. During a date with Jamie, Bret asks if she's ready to pursue a serious relationship, potentially culminating a serious longterm commitment or marriage. Jamie replies that she's not interested in getting married in the very near future; but she makes it clear that this is simply because she would need to get to know Bret on a much deeper level. Unfortunately for Jamie, Bret understand's Jamie's remark to mean that she's not open to a serious longterm relationship. It's an issue that later comes back to haunt Jamie.
The Elimination - Who Gets Sent Home on Rock of Love Bus Episode 11?
Going into the elimination, all of the women are feeling a bit uneasy about their position on the Rock of Love Bus cast.
Surprisingly, Bret gives Mindy the first pass, despite her perpetual unwillingness to leave her comfort zone. This leaves the Poison front-man to pick between Taya and Jamie.
Ultimately, Bret gives Taya the pass and Jamie is sent home. Bret decides to eliminate Jamie because of her remarks on the date, saying she did not wish to get involved in a serious longterm relationship.
With Jamie eliminated, this leaves Taya and Mindy as the two Rock of Love Bus finalists.
