Flav thought Savanna's real name was good enough to be her nickname as well, so her real name and nickname are the same. Although Thing 2 was eliminated in Episode 12, she was brought back in Episode 13, and won the competition.

Episodes
"In Flav We Trust" First aired February 11, 2008 (2.8M viewers)
The show begins with 21 women waiting outside the mansion. Flavor Flav arrives in his limousine with Big Rick, he then talks to the ladies and tells them that this is the last time he will try to find love. Flav lets the women go inside the mansion and they trash the place by running, yelling, and breaking things as they try to find their beds.
Flavor Flav later calls the ladies down for their nicknames (he lets them chose their nicknames for the first time ever) and he is shocked to find twins on the show. He then holds a mixer to get to know the ladies better. At eliminations he calls out all the ladies to come get their clocks except Q-Tee, Shor-Tee, Peechee, Dymz, Savanna, and Things 1&2. He then calls down Thing 2 for the final clock and states that he can not separate them so he stretches the clock rope so they can both wear it. Q-Tee, Shore-Tee, Peechee, Dymz, and Savanna are eliminated. Flav also notices that four of the five ladies that were eliminated were online winners.
Last Clock: Thing 1&2 Eliminated: Q-Tee, Shor-Tee, Peechee, Dymz and Savanna
"Pimp My Gurney" First aired February 18, 2008 (2.2M viewers)
With only 16 girls left, drama slowly arises. Rayna accused the girls of taking a bottle of her perfume, but she is later seen on the balcony talking to Tik, revealing that she did not really lose anything. This caused the other girls to believe that Rayna may only be in the house for camera time.
The challenge was the hospital challenge in which the girls had to impress Flavor Flav with their "nursing" skills. Some girls (such as Rayna and Tik) had weird presentations, and while other girls stood out amongst the rest to Flavor Flav; Ice had a creative presentation in which she asked Flav to throw darts at New York's face. Flavor Flav enjoyed Hotlanta the most because she got him a clock dedicated to one of his songs. The three girls were crowned challenge winners and participated in a group date with Flav. The date was a sky dive, and Hotlanta was initially scared, but she knew if she did not do it, she would not develop a connection with Flav. After the date, Ice told Flav that Rayna was one of the fakest girls in the house.
During the group date, the girls in the house were with motivational speaker, Sheryl Lee Ralph. She asked the girls to be nice to each other, and during that time, Shy and El revealed how they lost their parents. All of the girls seemed to be moved by that session, except for Sinceer, who chose to not pay any attention to Sheryl Lee Ralph nor get emotional because she only cared about Flav. Seemingly, they all played charades, in which they acted out each other. After someone impersonated how Sinceer drank a lot, she got mad and then did an impersonation of Seezinz, where she stood up with her arms on her hips and said she was a nobody. Word got up to Seezinz, and she went up to confront Sinceer, which ended up in them yelling at each other. Because of this, Seezinz suggested Flavor Flav that he should eliminate Sinceer, due to their earlier argument. Instead, Flav eliminated El, Tik, and St. Lewis. Flav felt El was not trying enough, he could not remember who St. Lewis was, and he felt that Tik was too crazy and strange for him to have a good connection.
Challenge: Hospital Challenge Challenge winners: Ice, Myammee & Hotlanta Last clock: Rayna Eliminated: El, Tik & St. Lewis
"Reindeer Games" First aired February 25, 2008
The 13 ladies wake up and Flav calls a meeting. Everyone comes down, but Flav notices Myammee is not there. This is because she took her time in order to look nice. He sends someone to get her and she eventually comes down. Flav challenges them to make a restaurant for him. Team A consists of Grayvee, Ice, Thing 1, Thing 2, Bunz, Sinceer, and Seezinz. Team B consists of Rayna, Myammee, Hotlanta, Shy, Bee-Ex, and Prancer. Each team is given $1,000 to spend on decorations. Both teams then picked names out of hats in order to decide who would be manager, and Grayvee was drawn for Team A, while Rayna was chosen for Team B.
Team A discusses the name and decides to name it after Flav's youngest son, Karma. Meanwhile, Ice & Grayvee (Team A) and Rayna & Shy (Team B) go to a fashion store to get some decorations. Shy sees a reindeer and realizes that they should take it, since she knows Flav loves reindeer. However, Rayna disagrees, saying that it is tacky and will not fit into the theme; She even says to the camera that she's the manager and nobody else's opinion counts. They do not take it, but the other team does. Shy says that she will knock Rayna out if they lose because of that.
After they finish, Flav brings a food critic over and they visit their first restaurant, Karma's. They are greeted by the twins and sit down. Bunz comes in to deliver the food she cooked: chicken wings and gumbo. The critic notices the giant reindeer and Flav tells him that he loves it. After they're finished, they go to the second restaurant. Flav and the critic do not like Rayna's style of high-class as it does not suit Flav. The menus come and Flav is disappointed at his name being spelled "Flava", when that is not the right spelling. He is also disappointed with Myammee and Hotlanta, who he had discussed this with and they still had gotten it wrong. The food comes and the critic worries that he might be risking his health if he eats it. Prancer tries to cheer the mood up by rolling out in her Heely's and bringing cheesecake which she mentions they got from the Cheesecake Factory.
After they're done, the food critic tells what he did and did not like from each teams food. From Team A, he said someone can not make chicken wings well and the gumbo was too salty. When Rayna heard this, she said (to the camera) she knew they had it in the bag. They also like Team A's theme (Mardi Gras). For Team B, the food critic did not like anything about their food and that it could be deadly. He also thought that the theme was not Flav; the theme was more of an upper class restaurant. Team A is voted the winner. Shy was furious with Rayna because Flav mentioned that he did like the reindeer.
Grayvee, the manager of Team A, goes on a solo date with Flav. They went to Flavs favorite and most "romantic" restaurant, Tony Romas. Grayvee makes a comment stating that she loves eating pigsfeet (with greens and cornbread) and Flav says he hates them and if he would've known she liked them, he would have named her that. The rest of the team later on goes ice-skating with Flav. Sinceer makes an insult about Bunz's mother, who has brain damage, and Flav is not happy with that. Meanwhile, back in the house, Prancer answers a phone call for Ice from her radio station. She hears Ice is here to gain popularity and that she's pretty much giving an interview on the house phone. Before elimination, Prancer goes to tell Flav that Ice is fake. He talks to Ice, who, says none of it is true. Shy then comes in the room and tells him that Rayna claims she only wants to make it to the Top 10. Rayna is brought into the room after that and she says is really here for him.
At elimination, before Sinceer is given her clock, she must apologize to Bunz. She does, but admits on camera that it was not genuine. There's one clock left and it comes down to Ice, Myammee, and Rayna. Flav calls Ice down and tells her that her time is up. Ice leaves and says to the camera she was just getting to know Flav as a person and she hopes to make her career bigger now. Flav calls down Myammee and Rayna and states that a man will be lucky to have either one of them. Flav then tells Rayna he is really feeling Myammee. Rayna leaves and questions why he kept "fivehead" (Sinceer), and the "DoubleMint Twins" (Thing 1 & Thing 2). Rayna says it's been real, and thus the last internet winner has been eliminated.
