En route to ‘Charm School,’ Like Dat returns to Westchester

April

After watching a promising start to the final season of “The Sopranos” (which gave a shout-out to Putnam Valley in the closing credits, did you notice?), I flipped to VH1, which has no shortage of intriguing celebrity-based “reality” shows.

It was then that I was reminded of a series of VH1 Celebreality spin-offs—those that have some connection to rapper Flavor Flav and appear to have no end. “The Surreal Life” begat “Strange Love.” “Strange Love” begat “Flavor of Love.” “Flavor of Love” begat “Flavor of Love 2.” “Flavor of Love 2” begat “I Love New York.” And both “Flavor(s) of Love” begat the latest in the series, “Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School,” for which comedienne Mo’Nique will determine who among 13 former “Flavor(s) of Love” contestants can make the biggest transformation.

Appearing on both “Flavor of Love 2” and “Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School” is Darra Boyd, a.k.a. Like Dat. (As you may or may not know—or want to admit knowing—Flavor Flav liked to give his bachelorettes nicknames.) Like Dat lives in Jersey City these days, but in a preview of the “Charm School” series, Ms. Dat visited her family in Westchester County to show us how she came to be… Like Dat.

I’m going to my Mama’s up in Westchester, you know. We’re going to see the country for a little bit. … Family’s important to me, because this is all I have. When I had problems and I needed help, my Mama was there. Her Mama was there for her.

If you want to see how Like Dat fares against a dozen other former “Flavor of Love” contestants, check out “Charm School,” which debuts this Sunday at 10 am. on VH1.
