It's not just on The Bachelor that the date meets the parents. But on these Of Love shows, the parents come to the house so they’re immediately thrown off because they’re not on home turf.

But Frank’s parents proved to be very entertaining. And, coincidence? His nickname was The Entertainer. Maybe that means something but I don’t know what. Most of those parents' meetings ended badly. New York’s mom was hell on wheels. But enough about her. Frank moved on to appear on two seasons of I Love Money. I never saw the show because it was filled with former Of Love people and I just…just couldn’t.

Frank’s a buff guy with head and facial hair that seem perpetually in the 5 o’clock shadow stage. How he got his own show is anyone'’s guess. VH1 must be hurting for talent. The gist of the show is that Frank still lives in his parents basement, a fact he'll proudly tell you. The parents hope he'll fall in love and move out of their basement.

His overbearing, overprotective mom is really the star of the show. They're supposed to be filming in his parents' actual house, which is very nice and really does look like a real home in a real neighborhood. But I just can't imagine Mrs. Maresca letting all these chicks (15) into her own immaculate house. She constantly complains about cleaning up after them, that they're drinking, they're just disgusting. It seems whatever the girls do annoy her. They must be paying girlfriend a lot of money for all this aggravation.

The show follows the usual path -- they all live together, he rubs up and kisses all of them, they compete for lame dates (cupcake shop, Brooklyn Bridge) and try to win Frank's heart.

This week's challenge -- garage sale! The women are divided into teams to sell Maresca junk to what looks like real neighbors in a real neighborhood. This is turning out to be the Roseanne of the "of love" shows.

All hell breaks loose when mom catches some of the women offering to massage male passersby for money. This is after one woman grabbed one of momma’s tv, ran with it, fell and it smashed to pieces. The winners get dates with Frank and the losers dine with mom and dad. That's punishment.

It seems not-hot Annie, an odd girl with a distinctive voice and goofy manner seems to be in the running. I see her and Frank kiss but that really doesn't mean anything in reality-world. She could still be gone 15 minutes from now.

The elimination takes place in the living room with mom and dad in attendance. After all, this person is going to be their daughter-in-law (ha!). A key to his basement door replaces the usual champagne glass to denote who's staying. And then, well, the other women can't believe that not hot Annie gets the first key. That really is a surprise. Oh, did I tell you the confessionals/interviews are held in another part of the basement? Right next to the water heater.
