While on Flavor of Love, Tiffany sometimes had disagreements with other contestants. In the first season, she made it to the final two. However, Flavor Flav chose another contestant, Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander. After their relationship ended, Flavor Flav decided to do a second season of his dating show.

For Flavor of Love 2, Flavor Flav invited Tiffany back to help him choose contestants. She later joined the show as a participant herself.
