Episodes

The debut of this season took place on April 15, 2007. Viewers learned why each woman had been selected for Charm School through flashbacks to their time on Flavor of Love. From the first season, Smiley was brought back because she had an emotional breakdown the night she was sent home. Serious was chosen for her inflated ego during a fight involving herself, New York, and the other women against Hottie. Goldie’s inclusion came from her drinking, passing out, and throwing up on her first night in the house. Pumkin had spit on New York at her elimination. Rain was picked for a screaming argument with New York. Hottie’s “adorable” antics included serving raw chicken to Flavor Flav and his mother. From the second season, Saaphyri was brought back for attacking H-Town over a bed, which got her disqualified just an hour into the competition. Bootz returned for her habit of “hating” on other contestants. Buckwild was there for being the blackest white girl. Like Dat had terrible table manners. Buckeey and Krazy were chosen because of their balcony fight that led to Buckeey’s elimination. Toasteee was included after revealing she had posed nude for pornographic websites and production companies. Mo’Nique served as the headmistress. When the women entered the house, two people were introduced to help Mo’Nique with eliminations: Mikki, an editor at Essence magazine, and Keith, who worked for an entertainment agency and coordinated beauty pageants. Mo’Nique gave each woman a pledge pin, and they all discarded the name tags bearing their Flavor of Love nicknames. Saaphyri was the only contestant without a nickname, because she had been disqualified from Flavor of Love 2 for assaulting H-Town before receiving one. From that point on, everyone was called by their real names. A mixer followed, allowing the women to speak with Mo’Nique and the deans.
