Rock of Love Bus: Set to Premiere!

Bret Michaels and Jes Rickleff (the winner of the inaugural season of Rock of Love) never had a chance.

And things may have looked good for a while between Bret and Ambre Lake - the winner of season two - but, come on. That relationship soon fizzled out.

Despite these heartbreaks, however, Michaels is dusting himself off and putting his penis back out there again: the third season of Rock of Love, deemed Rock of Love Bus because it will actually follow Bret and his skanks around on a tour buss, premieres January 4.

In past seasons, Bret made it clear that life on tour with a rock star is not easy and can present unique challenges. So, each time the buses pull into a new city the girls will take on challenges specifically relating to Bret’s life on the road. They may have to greet aggressive groupies with polite smiles, dodge the advances of the warm-up band, or even fill in for mysteriously missing roadies.

From ice hockey and Mud Bowl 3 to a sexy dance off and working backstage, the girls get down and dirty, as each one strives to stand out among the rest.

The winner of each challenge will be rewarded with a date showcasing the best of what middle America has to offer–perhaps a toast atop the St. Louis Arch or a romantic picnic in the shadow of the world’s largest chicken.

For some, however, the challenges will prove too much and they will have to face eliminations and at least one girl will be left at each stop. Whatever the case may be, these girls will definitely be put to the test to win over Bret and handle the crazy life of a rock star girlfriend.

In the end, there is only one VIP pass for Bret’s true Rock of Love.
