JUST two guys are left to love New York.
Tailor Made – fashion industry guru from Queens – and muscle-bound maniac Buddha will face off on tonight’s finale (9 p.m.) of the VH1 hit “I Love New York 2” in a bid to woo its star, Tiffany Pollard, aka New York.
The pair, whose real names are George Weisgerber and Ezra Masters, are not friends and were, in fact, ready to fight for most of the reality show, a rocky and occasionally violent season that was filmed last summer in Los Angeles.
On the show, a group of guys are all given funky nicknames as they compete to win the heart of Pollard, an actress from upstate New York who was dumped twice by rapper Flavor Flav on his reality show “Flavor of Love.”
She was dumped again on the first season of “I Love New York” by Tango, the man she had chosen as the winner.
This season, Pollard’s mother, Sister Patterson, decided that she would prefer Tailor Made to date her daughter.
Buddha, a model and personal trainer from Miami was disqualified after head-butting and striking Tailor Made. The pair had a fist-fight after Buddha accused Tailor Made of being manipulative and running to New York with gossip about the other players in the house.
New York later brought Buddha back into the game – but not before Tailor Made tangled with a slew of other house members, including an altercation with a fellow nicknamed Mr. Wise, during which he spit in his rival’s face.
The pair had to be separated by the cast and crew of the show. “I will murder you!” screamed Mr. Wise, before he restrained himself, and was later eliminated by New York.
Since then, New York has developed strong relationships with both Tailor Made and Buddha – but will have to make her final choice tonight.
