Tiffany Pollard "New York"

Pollard was dumped not once but twice by Flavor Flav but that didn't stop her from becoming the star of her own reality shows on VH1, most notably I Love New York. After a few years, she stopped dealing with the network as much. This was likely due to the tragic events involving fellow reality star, Ryan Jenkins, who murdered his wife and committed suicide in 2009.

Pollard has attempted to make a comeback in recent years with appearances on Botched, Celebrity Big Brother: U.K. and Family Therapy with Dr. Jenn. BuzzFeed reported back in August of 2016 that Pollard would host the gay dating show The Ex, though details are unclear as of now.

#2 Brooke Thompson "Pumkin"

After leaving Flavor of Love Thompson appeared on several VH1 reality shows, such as I Love Money and Charm School. She then showed up on the Playboy series, Foursome, before going back home to Bakersfield, Calif. "I have a real job now," she said in an interview with VH1. "I work for an accounting firm. Booooring!"

During that interview, she revealed that she is still single and has no children. She confessed that getting out of the spotlight was not really her choice. "I would still be on reality TV if [someone was] still doing those types of shows," said Thompson. "Not to say that I would never do reality television again because I would totally do it again."

Back when she was on Flavor of Love in 2006, Thompson lost her substitute teacher job due to her notoriety. A spokesman for Kern High School told Bakersfield.com "She is a victim of her own celebrity," after it was revealed that she had been blacklisted on the district's substitute teacher list.

#3 Nicole Alexander "Hoopz"

The winner of season 1, Alexander and Flav's relationship didn't last long. Just imagine if it had lasted... no seasons 2 and 3! But even though their relationship ended quickly, Alexander soon hooked up with an even bigger star. According to t the Boston Globe, Alexander and basketball star Shaquille O'Neal dated back in 2010 and even got engaged before breaking up in 2012.

During an interview in July of 2016, she revealed she was dating Ovince St. Preux, a UFC fighter. "I took a chance on love again, even after the past, which is really hard," she said. "But he is so patient and I love him to death for that. To be able to just be there and to still be okay with me letting all that go. And still loving me."

Alexander also owns a clothing boutique in Knoxville, TN. In 2015 Alexander recruited her sisters to star with her in an Oxygen channel series, It Takes a Sister.

#4 London Charles "Deelishis"

Just like Alexander the previous season's winner, season 2 winner Charles' relationship with Flav went up in flames rather quickly. She tried out for a few Hollywood projects, including trying to start a recording career and a fashion line, before becoming the morning host of Hot 107.5 in Detroit. "I am getting older…I want something in entertainment that's going to have longevity—and radio's just that," Charles said in 2015. "I look at people like Tom Joyner or Steve Harvey, Howard Stern, even Wendy Williams who started in radio. And my mom's been in gospel radio for the past 28 years."

Relationship wise, Charles has two children with ex-husband Orlando Gordon. Gordon was sentenced to more than 15 years in prison after he was indicted on federal drug charges back in 2012, according to the DEA.

Charles has since been rumored to have been with Stevie J and rapper Wiz Khalifa. She has said many times that she has hooked up with Drake.

#5 Larissa Hodge "Bootz"

"Bootz" is probably best known for her feud with "New York." After the show wrapped up it wasn't long before she was back on the network. Hodge starred on Charm School just like many other Flavor of Love alumni. These days Hodge is a single mother of two living in Las Vegas. She has left reality TV far behind. "I am collecting my checks, going to school to get a degree in business," she said back in 2015. She also added: "What people don't know is I was in a car accident two and and a 1/2 years ago so I have not been able to continue my position as a reality [personality] because of injuries and legal reasons."

#6 Shay Johnson "Buckeey"

Johnson followed up appearing on Flavor of Love with appearances on Charm School and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. She has recently released her very own line of luxury hair extensions named "Shay J Bliss". According to her website, Johnson has also dabbled in radio, acting, and charity work to go along with other entrepreneurial projects.

#7 Saaphyri Windsor

Windsor was only featured on one episode of Flavor of Love but her infamous "lip chap" incident was more than enough to make her a fan favorite and get her a spot on Charm School, which she would end up winning. After taking home the $50,000 prize, she launched a line of lip balm, then wound up in jail for ID theft. After being released in 2010 she laid low until 2014 when she showed up on Botched to fix her plastic surgery woes.

Windsor had this to say about her time on Flavor of Love: "My feelings were very genuine for Flav. I believe we would have definitely become serious had I stayed in the house longer."

#8 Becky Johnston "Buckwild"

"Buckwild" appeared on not one but two VH1 reality tv shows after her time on Flavor of Love. After appearing on Charm School and I Love Money she left reality tv. VH1 reported that as of 2015 she is a manager at a toy store and "loves it." She's also been super-active on social media. You can regularly find her talking trash on Twitter and Instagram. While being interviewed by VH1 in 2015, she said that Flavor Flav actually had a girlfriend the entire time they filmed Flavor of Love Season 2.

#10 Leilene Ondrade "Smiley"

Ondrade has been busy managing her daughter's career "and juggling [hers] at the same." She still models from time to time and is working on getting a "post-graduate degree for a double major in cinema film studies and computers." She also said: "Yes, once in a while I'll throw a dart board at a map and pick a strip club and just work there and not tell anyone a damn thing about myself and show up in a town explore it a bit and work a couple nights just because I feel like a fat old cow and it's nice to know I still got it."
