Well, no one ever said that finding true love was easy, especially for a chain smoking girl from the big city with a rep for being a major trash talker, but New York (formerly of Flavor of Love) is back and ready to pick up the shattered pieces of her nicotine stained heart and give the ol’ L word one more go. That’s right, she’s decided to weather the storm one more time, on I Love New York 2, coming soon to VH1.

So get ready to laugh and cover the kids’ ears because here we go again, folks - but this time it’s going to be different. New York is determined to find true love, but - after Season 1 – refuses to leave all her heart in the hands of the producers who failed her so miserably last time. So here’s what’s going to happen this time around: 5 contestants in her stable of studs for ILNY2 will be picked by her fans. “I think my fans know who’s best for New York,” she says. “They better not @#%^ me over!”

So America, now it’s up to you. Enter the competition or cast your vote. If you can get online, you get to play. Are you the ultimate reality star? Do you have the eye it takes to select the right dudes for New York? Could you be her man? If so, we need your help!

COMPETE FOR NEW YORK’S LOVE
Do you really want a chance to win New York’s heart on national television? Well, then you better get out the video camera and let us know why you’re better than those 20 knuckleheads from season one.

It’s simple, really. Sign up for the competition, check out the submission requirements, and get busy. Create a profile that sells YOU, pimp that you are. Create and upload an introductory video highlighting all your Mac-a-docious qualities, and include a few still photos of your fly self to complete the package.

There’s 3 Rounds total to determine the big winners. Each round has its own submission requirements. For instance, in round two, we may ask you to upload another video highlighting more of your finer qualities that are sure to attract NY’s attention. If you’re one of the lucky (profoundly deserving) contestants with the highest number of votes when the round ends, you move on to the next round. Oh, and tell everyone you know to vote for you. Cause, that’s how you win. We made up a few rules… but we’ll leave the breathtaking submissions and the voter lobbying power completely up to you.

Remember, unless you tell us why you’re ‘the one’, we’ll never know. And, in the end, 5 insanely deserving gentlemen will grace New York with their charm, their love, their compassion – and the 19 cameras that will probably follow them everywhere – as cast members on I Love New York 2.

VOTE
Do you have that ultimate eye for casting? Have you found your favorite ’12-Pack’ (or Mr. Boston) for this season? Here’s how to do it:

1) Register to be a voter.

2) Dive in to the ultimate collection of the most mind blowing, jaw dropping, and heart pounding contestant profiles you’ve ever seen. Who do you like? No, not for you, for New York. The quiet and shy guy, the meat head, the gangster with the club foot?

3) Vote for your favorite. And if you really want him to win, tell your friends to vote for YOUR favorite as well! He with the most votes moves on. Those with the least are losers before the show even gets started.

*Note – Voting is limited to 1 vote per person / per computer / per day - however, you can vote for as many different people as you want all day. If you have a favorite, come back each day and cast a vote for them. Also keep in mind that the votes reset back to zero for each round, so it’s important to support your favorites each round.

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!
New York has given you the power to help choose her man (and taken it away from us, but that’s ok, we’re not mad. Well, our casting people are but they’ll find other jobs). So if you’ve ever said “Gee I’m the perfect man for NY” or “Hey, I know the perfect guy for NY” then now it’s time to get off your butts and shine for all the world to see. This is your chance to wow the masses with your brilliant personality and blissful demeanor, or determine the fate of some unknowing schlub who thinks he has what it takes to be a contestant on I LOVE NEW YORK 2.

NEW YORK NEEDS YOU!
