NEW YORK (AP) – Even though Bret Michaels endured two seasons worth of conniving, drunken debauchery, bad weaves and cat fights on his reality show "Rock of Love," he admits that he still may not have found that one special woman.

Bret Michaels says that, in "Rock of Love" second-season winner Ambre, he’s found someone who’s "nice and cool."

On this month’s season two finale of his hit VH1 show, Michaels chose TV host Ambre out of the pack. While the two may not be head-over-heels in love, Michaels says he has found someone who is "nice and cool." That’s a big improvement for the former lead singer of Poison: He and his season one pick, Jess, didn’t even date once the show ended.

Michaels spoke with The Associated Press about relationships and lessons learned from reality television as "Rock of Love: The Complete First Season" is released to DVD this month.

Q: Is this just a show for entertainment, or did you really go into this thinking that you were going to find true love?

MICHAELS: I said this from day one: I went into this to have fun and maybe find someone to like. True love is not going to be found instantly on a TV show. That is only for scripted shows. Scripted reality, they give someone a show. It is the reason "Rock of Love" has been the No. 1 show. It has been kept as real as possible. Anyone thinking they are going into a TV show finding love, they might find someone that they like and eventually learn to like them more. I think finding true love, I never went in with that intent.

Q: Did you find true love this time?
