Love is in the Stallion-Air

First aired October 20, 2008

Real and Chance are back and they're looking for love again, but this time they'll be ones doing the eliminating. The two brothers show up to find 17 lovely ladies waiting outside of their mansion. After the traditional nickname ceremony, they proceed to a back yard mixer where they get to know the girls a little better. Personalities pop and things heat up as some girls gravitate toward the sensitive brother, while others go after the hot-headed player. In the end the two brothers pick from the pool of girls, dodge-ball style until they have 7 girls each. Unfortunately for 3 girls, however, the ride is over before it begins.

• Real's Girls: Bay Bay Bay, Sexy Legs, K.O., Corn Fed, Milf, Ki Ki, Lusty

Episode Notes

• Ki Ki told Real that K.O. (who was there for Real) gave Chance a lap dance, but it was actually Meatball (they both had on black dresses) who gave him the lap dance.
• Stalker made a clock for Chance, which he ended up breaking. He didn't like it because, it reminded him of Flavor Flav. On I Love New York, one of the reasons New York eliminated Chance is because he started to remind her of Flav.
• Bubbles and So Hood got into an argument over the way Bubbles talks. Chance didn't like this at all and almost eliminated So Hood because of it.
• Lusty and Milf were the only girls to flirt with both Real and Chance at the mixer.
• Stalker and Bubbles broke one of the beds by continually jumping on it.
• Lusty was talking to herself in the mirror when the other girls were fighting. Promo caught her doing it and was creeped out.
• During elimination, Chance picked Promo to be one of his girls, and she almost denied him because she was initially more interested in Real.

Reasons For Elimination

• Stalker: Chance disliked the clock she made for him, and he didn't like the way she was always following him around, and never seemed to leave him alone.
• Harmony: Chance thought her breath smelled bad, and didn't have as strong of a connection with her as he did with some of the other girls.
• Isha: She didn't make an effort to talk to Chance or Real and just kind of lingered in the background.

• During elimination, Real gave his first chain to Promo. She was scared to take it at first because she thought Chance was going to get really mad. Chance was disappointed, but didn't yell or get out of control.

• Chance and Real's younger brother Micah made an appearance.
• The girls found out that Real was the first black man Corn Fed had dated.

After the ladies slam and drop kick each other to the brothers' content, the winning team is taken on a date to the fishing hole. While there, one of Chance's girls proves to be "too much" sexually, getting down and dirty with him, even in front of little children and families!

— VH1 episode summary^[21]

Episode Notes

• This week's challenge, the girls had to form into 3 wrestling teams and fight each other, while Chance and Real watched. The team that put on the best show, won a group date. On the date, the winners went fishing with Chance and Real.
• K.O., So Hood, Bay Bay Bay, Ki Ki and Rabbit were the Pink Team. Risky, Lusty, Corn Fed and Cali were the Grey Team. Promo, Milf, Bubbles and Meatball were the Blue Team.
• The girls were given their own wrestling names during the challenge. Corn Fed (Whiskie Dixie), Risky (1-Eyed K), Cali (Safari), Lusty (Tiki The Torturer), Bubbles (Thunder Rolls), Milf (Peace Keeper), Promo (French Tickler), Meatball (Poison Sumac), Bay Bay Bay (Cutter), K.O. (Pom Pom), Ki Ki (Miss Mystery), Rabbit (Nurse Hatchett) and So Hood (Gangsta Geisha).
• Chance and some of the girls think that K.O. is a lesbian after she seems more affectionate with other girls in the house than with Real. This led to a heated argument between Bay Bay Bay and K.O., because it was brought up during the group date.
• During the group date, Real said their brother, Micah, told him that Cali was a "industry girl".
• Lusty and Ki Ki get into a heated argument about if Ki Ki is "real" and Ki Ki talks trash about Lusty's deceased mother.
• During elimination, Chance calls So Hood down to the carpet. She thinks she's going to get her chain, but Chance actually reveals that she's a bit too much for him. So Hood is upset about it, and Chance seems a little upset about the choice he had to make, too. He gives her one last hug, and then she leaves.
• The Pink Team won the first annual SSA (Stallionaire Slam Association) heavyweight championship belt.

Reasons For Elimination

• So Hood: Chance thought she was too forward with her sexual side, and was stopping him from getting to spend time to get to know the other girls.
• Promo: Real thought she wasn't making a good enough effort to get to know him since she didn't really come to him wanting to talk like the other girls. Chance decided not to give her another chance with him because she was a flip-flopper, and it would just be her switching from one brother to the other again.
