Well, it had to end sometime. In last night's final episode of "I Love New York 2," the show's titular queen made her pick from her remaining would-be suitors.
While she couldn't deny that "Buddha is hot, sexy, and big" (eccch!), in the end she picked his rival, the weasel-y "Tailor-Made."
I have a feeling, though, that this isn't the last we'll see of "Buddha." After all, I Love New York 2 was a spin-off of I Love New York (duh) and that show was a spin-off of Flavor of Love.
Oh, please, please, please, VH1 -- give us a "Buddha Love" spin-off!
(And if there was such a show, dear readers -- what would you call it?)

Well, tonight's penultimate episode of I Love New York 2 was filled, typically, with intrigue, backbiting, and ludicrous boob-shots. There were also, of course, many great quotes about "Buddha." No, "New York" (left) wasn't talking about The Awakened One. She was talking about her would-be suitor, one of three left -- actually, two, as of the end of tonight's show.
We've been sharing all the Buddha-talk with you, so that you can enjoy all their cognitively dissonant glory. Here are just some of tonight's quotes. (Couldn't get them all -- they came faster than they could be written down!)
* "Buddha's being really flirty with me."
* "Buddha, will you escort me back to my hotel?"
* [New York's mom:] "I'm so upset that Buddha's one step closer to winning New York's heart." And, later: "Buddha? Believe this: he will never be my son-in-law."
* [Fellow would-be suitor "Punk," complaining about Buddha's duplicity:] "I just really need to make New York see the light about Buddha, 'cause it's really getting out of hand right now."
* [New York, having realized the truth about Buddha's duplicity:] "Buddha is a fool and an asshole -- he's lying."
* Fellow would-be suitor "Tailor-Made" agreed: "Buddha is arrogant, dangerous, fake, and manipulative."
But in the end, New York couldn't bring herself to give Buddha the boot. As she told him, "Buddha, you're sexy as hell -- you dominate me, and you keep me in check."
So poor "Punk" was sent packing, and New York, Tailor-Made, and Buddha headed off to Jamaica for some final-episode insanity. (It airs this Wednesday night.)
I'd wager that when they touched down, the locals all wondered one thing: What are these maniacs smoking?

As we reported last week, "New York" welcomed "Buddha" back onto her show. And, as ever, there were tons of crazy Buddha-related soundbites, each one nearly more inappropriate than the next (at least when out of context).
These were all from just the first six minutes of tonight's episode:
* New York wondered aloud, "What if Buddha [is] my perfect mate?"
* After hearing that Buddha was returning and getting the "I Love New York" faux-platinum chain that all the show's competitor-dudes wear, resident snitch "Tailor Made" commented, "The last thing I want to do is give Buddha the satisfaction of looking him in the eye."
* New York, welcoming the prodigal housemate back, said, "Buddha, I can not wait to put this chain on you."
* But New York's mother (who is as ever-present as she is negative) commented, "Buddha is a beautiful person. But he has a dark side."
...Later, after a private date with him, New York reflected, "Buddha's the man. Buddha has it goin' on!"
And, last but not least:
"Buddha's kisses are tender, soft, warm.... what I want to be feelin' on my lips -- and other places as well."
Stay classy, New York!

Sometimes, you catch a break.
Tonight, in the last two minutes of VH1's "reality" show, "I Love New York 2," the show's titular queen announced that she was eliminating two of her suitors, and bringing one back.
She called for the returning housemate with all her usual eloquence, by simply calling, "Yo, Buddha!"
And in walked "Buddha." (Real name: Ezra.)
So what? Who cares, right? Well, sure. There's no good reason to care. But there's a fun reason to care, and that reason is for all the truly weird one-liners that happen when you have someone named "Buddha" on a show like "I Love New York."
The show's resident snitch, known as "Tailor-Made," delivered a couple such quotations in the show's closing moments. Such as:
"Basically, Buddha did everything he could to defame my character."
...and, said while actually wearing a t-shirt with a gold Buddha (the real kind) on it:
"The thought of Buddha being on a date with New York just makes me sick."
Ah, cognitive dissonance. It's a wonderful thing.
So welcome back, Buddha!
(You'll find a couple of other good ILNY/Buddha quotes here and here.)

Yes, it's true: On "I Love New York 2," Ezra -- nicknamed Buddha -- was summarily dismissed for headbutting another suitor of the show's titular queen.
Said New York in explaining her decision to kick Ezra to the curb:
"Buddha had to leave, because he got violent and very physical."
He will be missed.
(OK. He won't actually be missed. But the show's weird, quotable comments about "Buddha" sure will be.)

The new season of VH1's "reality" series, "I Love New York 2" is under way.
As before, "New York," the wanna-be socialite skank and star of the show -- and I don't mean to be just totally insulting; I actually think she would consider that description accurate! -- gives each of her suitors a nickname. One asked to be nicknamed "Buddha."
To this New York replied something like, "Why would you want to be named after a little bald fat guy?"
But then she conceded that this dude was so hot that he'd get to be called whatever he wanted.
So, "Buddha" it is.
(Sigh.)
As you can imagine, the fact that this guy is called Buddha makes for lots of good soundbites. For example:
"Buddha's a good guy," said New York. "I can see us takin' it to the next level... way too soon."
And, later:
"I'm sooo into Buddha. There's nothing bad I can say about him."

Don't know what's really going on here, but I love this shot.
It's from a VH1 special about DMC (of RUN-DMC; duh), looking to find his birth-mother, which he basically just did. It was actually great -- he's a very cool, humble guy. Thoughtful.
Anyway, I missed most of it, but what I did see included some shots of DMC talking in this room with candles and a Buddha. Was it his room, or were those things just props? (I'm guessing the latter, but I dunno.)
It doesn't really matter.
Y'know?
