Didn't they piss a lot of people off with some of their tactics and pigheadedness?

Kurt from Information Society has a whole page dedicated to their intrusion into his life and day job. It's somewhere on the INSOC site. Hilarious read!

What? A music-oriented show on a music-oriented channel? Whyever would Viacom do that?

If VH1 ever get tired of showing all these Rock Of Love marathons, they should consider bringing that show back.

I think the official reason for not continuing the show was too many people were recognizing Ahmer when he would show up, thereby ruining the surprise.

Considering Ahemr now has a show on CBC Radio I doubt VH1 would rehire him.

afaik the 'unofficial' reason was, that the show was quite expensive to produce (+ possibly a logistical nightmare...), can't imagine them producing new episodes, especially not these days, unfortunately! A return would be nice, though, if they want to, they could easily hire another host.
