After several weeks, many eliminations and two quitters, Hoopz won I Love Money with a comeback win over Whiteboy. On the last elimination episode both Toastee and Pumpkin were eliminated, leaving the final four of Real, Hoopz, Whiteboy and Megan. All three wanted to win but with Megan the only one not in the alliance she realized that the only way to make it to the end would be to win the role of Pay Master. At the final Pay Master challenge the final four reenacted a fond moment from Flavor of Love 2. In that season Buckeyee almost pushed Krazy over the balcony and they were about to do the same.

For the challenge the fastest person to carry a Krazy doll over a suspended pathway, throw the doll over the balcony at the end and then return to the other side would win. Megan was up first and after getting halfway across the platform she fell, dropping the Krazy doll and disqualifying her. Hoopz was up next and although she quickly got across and threw Krazy over the balcony, she forgot to return and that hurt her time. Next up was Real and after completing the task only a few seconds past Hoopz’s time he was no longer in the running. That left Whiteboy to try his hand and with a time of 16 seconds he beat Hoopz out to become the final Pay Master of the game.

The Blondes Break Apart On ‘I Love Money’

After controlling the last four eliminations on I Love Money, the four blondes were forced to turn against each other. Before the Pay Master challenge everything was fine between Brandi, Megan, Pumpkin and Toastee as they continued to ride the “we are weak” bandwagon. On the other side of the alliance spectrum were Hoopz and Real who were getting closer. Well I guess you could say Real was getting closer to Hoopz. See she has a boyfriend at home, which I don’t think Real knows about. He sure will a little later though!

At the Pay Master challenge the remaining eight were tasked to hold onto a dangling stripper pole. The last person on the pole would become the Pay Master and another twist was brought in. The first person to drop from the pole would be eliminated immediately from the game. That put the stakes even higher as nobody wanted to go home. As the challenge began the three guys all had trouble. The Entertainer was the first to drop though, sending himself home and back to his parents. The remainder of the guys, Whiteboy and Real then dropped leaving the five girls still hanging on. After Brandi, Pumpkin and finally Toastee fell it was down to Megan and Hoopz. Hoopz wanted to give it to Megan as she knew she would keep her but after hanging on for a few more minutes, Hoopz made a deal to keep Megan which gave Hoopz the title of Pay Master.

The Alliance Jumble of I Love Money

I Love Money is starting to get just as confusing as some seasons of Survivor and Big Brother, alliance wise. There are so many alliances in this game that’s it’s hard to keep track of them all. After the elimination of Chance last week, the lines were drawn as new alliances formed from old friendships. To sum things up there are the remainder of the Stallionaires being: Real, Whiteboy and Hoopz. Rodeo thinks she’s in the alliance but she’s kind of not. Then we have the new Gold Team alliance which is: 12 Pack, Entertainer, Pumkin, Toastee and Heather. The pair in the house is Brandi and Megan but they are now also working with Pumkin and Toastee so there is a lot of meshing going on.

Before their challenge began we saw the new alliances congregate together. Pumkin and Toastee, fearing their life in their current bedroom, moved in with their new alliance. Hoopz and Rodeo also showed their new allegiance with the green team by moving into their bedroom. At their next challenge the money lovers were faced with eating food that was actually normal. Before the mission began Hoopz and Rodeo decided to throw it, saving their alliance of Whiteboy and Real. But since Heather was the leader for their team she got to decide that Hoopz would sit out, leaving it all up to Rodeo. Megan was the leader for the other team and would play a large role later.

During the entire challenge the green team was in the lead. They first ate sushi, food from a buffet, chicken and then crepes. Rodeo didn’t even have to throw it to much thanks to Entertainers lack of eating so there wasn’t as much drama as expected. Most came at the end when almost everyone puked their guts up. Seriously, the food they had wasn’t even disgusting so I don’t know what the huge deal was.

Back at the house the gold team finally had to return back to the vault. The few hours before they had to decide who would be nominated, Rodeo decided to kiss every one’s ass but it severally backfired. Inside the vault she was voted 5 - 2 to go into the box. She revolted against the idea, saying Toastee and Pumkin lied to her but it didn’t help. Hoopz and Toastee also went into the box, one for being a traitor while Toastee put herself in.

During the power outing Megan had the three girls talk to her dog, saying she was decide who went home. Hoopz and Toastee took it as a joke while Rodeo cried her heart out, thinking Megan was serious. That wasn’t all Rodeo did during the power outing as she bended to Megan’s every beck and call. I was surprised Rodeo would stoop that low to stay since she was very powerful and nothing like this on the Rock of Love.

When the power outing was over Megan was stuck voting one of the three girls out. She struggled somewhat as she swore on the Bible that she would do whatever her team wanted. That’s where the problem came as she wanted Rodeo gone. Her “team”, being Whiteboy, wanted Toastee gone for getting rid of Chance while her secret alliance, Brandi and Pumkin, wanted Hoopz gone.

Later that night it was time for Megan to choose who was going to be bounced. After insulting Toastee, but giving her her check, Megan hindered her alliance but it seems Toastee will keep it going for just a bit longer. It was then down to Hoopz and Rodeo. After calling Rodeo up and giving her nice comments, she bounced Rodeo from the game, making the decision for herself. I’m not sure why she would do that though since now she angered both the green team and her secret alliance but hey it’s her decision. Once Rodeo left the yard the host then revealed that the teams were now done with. With the game now turning individual how will the jumble of alliances pan out? Tune in next Sunday as we get a double dose of I Love Money.

I Love Money Bounces To The Airwaves

I Love Money may not be the most sophisticated of reality shows but oh will it be insane! With the craziest all stars from your favorite VH1 reality shows it’s sure to be good as they take on competitions similar to the MTV challenge shows. It seems like all the reality staples are here for it to be an amazing show and hopefully it doesn’t disappoint! With Pumkin, Heather and Midget Mac you can’t go wrong!

It seems their first challenge wasn’t even a challenge as half of them couldn’t even get off the boat without even getting wet. Midget Mac has a flashback moment as he has to get in the water, once again, and we all know what happened last time he did that. 12 Pack came to his rescue though and picked him off the boat, giving him a reprieve from drowning this time.

Next up they all met their host, CJ and tells them they are playing for $250,000. Everyone then ran into the house and sprinted for their beds. It seems Nibblz and Toastee have some beef while Toastee has an ally with Pumpkin. Another alliance is 12 Pack and Heat, who have the “party boyz” alliance. Heather and Destiney became friends in Rock of Love 2 and are a perfect alliance in my eyes. The two groups then combined and formed the 12 Pack/Heat/Destiney/Heather alliance, I think I’ll barf now. Whiteboy then tells us that he and Chance/Real grouped together as well.

One thing was then realized as there are 17 people in the game while only 16 beds. Boston was the one without a bed and wanted to share with Toastee, who seemed to just laugh it off. He went to a few others who basically ran away from his offer as well. When CJ returned to the house everyone was given a check for $250,000. We all know they won’t all get it but at least its fun to see them skwirm. They are using the checks to eliminate the players similar to clocks and chains in other VH1 shows.

While they were doing the checks drama began already. Meagan told Pumpkin she had “saggy boobs” after she said she would buy new boobs. They yelling began since Pumpkin wanted people to know she was “ghetto”. Heather on the other hand wanted to remove something, her Brett Michael’s tattoo. Others wanted to help their family, which was nice. But I highly doubt ANY of these people will give money to their family.

It was then game time as the players had to be divided into teams. The news was then revealed that someone would be leaving that night, duh. Bikini’s were then given to everyone to wear… both guys and girls. It was a bit disgusting but what else would you want from VH1? Midget Mac was the only one to not put on the suit which angered Hoopz a bit. He called a word I can’t mention here but it sure did cause a ruckus as he continued to go off on all the girls.

The first challenge then took place to find the two team captains. The two people who could catch the most money in the Money Booth would became the team captains, choose the two teams and also would be safe from being “bounced”. Midget Mac still wouldn’t do the challenge, after babbling a bit, and it was time to begin. Meagan and Brandi C got DQed first since they took the money from the floor. Needless to say nobody else did that then. In the end Hoopz and Whiteboy became the largest money grabbers and became the two team captains.

Everyone was then given a few hours to decide how the teams would go down. Hoopz used the time wisely to see who wanted to be on her team while Boston went around and talked to both Whiteboy and Hoopz to make sure he wasn’t the one going home. With Whiteboy he worked the Jewish angle while he worked the “charm” angle with Hoopz. Not sure how well it worked but who knows. Meagan on the other hand wanted to be on Hoopz’s team but of course that wouldn’t work since Hoopz will obviously pick Pumpkin. Since she knew that was out she had to work on Whiteboy to make sure she didn’t get kicked out first. Nibblz has her own strategy, to lay low and talk on the phone. Not sure if that will work considering how many people can’t stand her lisp to begin with.

Midget Mac then continued his downward spiral by not saying sorry to Brandi. Although Rodeo tried to help him do so, he wouldn’t and it put him even more on the chopping block to leave. With that it was time for the team picking and bouncing to take place. Hoopz and Whiteboy got to choose their teams pick’em style with Hoopz being first. In the end the teams ended up as follows: Hoopzs’ team – Rodeo, 12 Pack, Entertainer, Heather, Toastee, Pumkin, Nibblz / Whiteboy’s team – Chance, Real, Boston, Heat, Destiney, Meagan, Brandi. That means that Midget Mac is the one getting bounced first. He kind of deserves it though, considering he gave up not once but twice! I Love Money sure seems to be one of the craziest, trashiest and hilarious Reality TV shows in a LONG time. And that’s why I think so many people are going to love it!
