(January 11, 2004-July 8, 2007)
Visuals: The number "51 " flips onto the screen, and then "PICTURES " enters letter-by-letter in the same way. A curvy black line slides downwards off the screen. The screen that holds "51 " imitates an old countdown screen. The background does the same thing.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The noise of an old projector and an old-timey jingle that plays in the background.

Availability: Seen on the WB (season 2)/VH1 (seasons 3-6) era of The Surreal Life and season 1 of Charm School (titled Flavor of Love Girls: Charm School).
