Production

In July 2006, VH1 published a casting call [1] looking for contestants for their new series tentatively titled The Flavorette.

[2] Before the second season finale of Flavor of Love, Pollard denied having her own show [3] but when the Flavor of Love season 2 finale aired, she confirmed she was the "Flavorette" and that she was already down to the final three contestants. [4]

On November 3, 2006, VH1 announced the show's official title: I Love New York. [5] The first commercial for the series aired on December 3, 2006 during the VH1 2006 Big Awards show. The show premiered on Monday, January 8, 2007 and is the most watched series debut in VH1 history. [6]
