Last week I Love Money showed just how trashy Reality TV could get and this week was no different. Things began rather quickly as the teams were forced to choose new team captains before the challenge began. They were also told that the losing team would have to nominate three people for elimination which will make things ugly. For the green team Chance wanted to be the next captain. Nobody really anything against it, even though he gave u last round, so Chance became the new Green Team captain. On the Gold Team everyone agreed that Rodeo should be the one to lead. It was rather simple and the Gold Team seems to be on track. They bonded and realized they had a strong team, except for Pumpkin and Toastee. Although Rodeo didn’t like that she was still in high spirits. On the Green Team things were in some shambles so Destiny stood up and got the group together. Of course nothing really came from it as the team seems to be most of the crazy bunch.

Apparently the crazy bunch decided to make a good move since Destiney took over the Team Leader position from Chance. He didn’t seem to be too mad, maybe he does need ritalin like Boston said. It was then time for their first challenge it was based off of Sapharyii’s famous bed battle from Flavor of Love 2. The object of the challenge was to knock your opponent off the flying bed in the air or to make them go across a certain point. Going across this point will force their side of the bed to give out and leave them plummeting to the water. Another aspect to the show was also revealed called the Pay Master. The Team Leader of the winning team will become the “Pay Master” and get to choose the person who leaves from the losing team.

I must say the show is using its own fights to its advantage in thinking up challenges and its rather amusing. Since the captains got to see who the other team chose first over other round this meant guys could go against girls which is odd for a challenge like this. Since Rodeo won the coin flip Destiney had to choose first. Destiney chose White Boy and Rodeo sent in 12 Pack for the first round. Surprisingly Whiteboy won since 12 Pack was DQed, giving Green one point to start. Next up was Entertainer vs Heat. During the battle both guys were passing out from smokers lunch but in the end Gold got a point as Heat’s stick got knocked out of the ring. This left the odds even 1 to 1 for Real and Hoopz to the first guy/girl battle. Once again Green drops their stick but Real didn’t care since he got to share some bedtime love with Hoopz.

It was then time for Round Four and we had some drama as Nibblz wanted to go in but Rodeo picked herself. Destiney chose Chance to go up against the crazy cowgirl and it was time for a showdown. Chance quickly knocked Rodeo in the head and her head gets caught in the rope. Megan didn’t care but Chance showed his humanitarian side to help her out now its sudden death time and its up to Boston and Nibblz to take home the win for their team. Nibblz used her “Jedi Mind Tricks” to stare him down but Boston fought back and after getting off balance Boston takes out Nibblz, giving the Green Team the first win of the season. Who would have thought Boston would bring home a win? Seriously?

Because the Gold Team lost they then had to put three people up to leave. Destiney, in return for being the Green Team’s leader, will get to choose which of those three gets “bounced”. Back at the house Pumpkin was worried that she would be sent home if in the bottom three since Megan & Destiney are friends and Megan hates Pumpkin. Inside the vault the Gold Team had to choose which three would go into the Box and up for elimination. They had 15 minutes and if they couldn’t decide within that time the Green Team would get to decide for them. Rodeo picked up the checks she thought should go and Nibblz, Pumpkin and Toastee ended up going in. Most agreed with the decisions, except for Pumpkin and Toastee, who cried their eyes out the whole time.

The host then introduced the “Power Outing” which basically lets the three up for elimination go on a date with the Pay Master. Before they went on their dates Pumpkin and Toastee decided to work together to get Nibblz out of the game. They wanted to make themselves seem weak and in return make Nibblz seem like the stronger of the three. The outing was a trip to a Mexican Restaurant with dancers who taught the girls to dance. Toastee used chance to get “hurt” and “sprain her ankle”. She wanted Destiney to make her think she was hurt and it seemed to work.

Destiney then took the time to talk to the three girls and that is Pumpkin strongest point: her mouth. She told Destiney how she’s the weakest on the team while Nibblz kept saying how fit and strong she is. The two girls, Toastee and Pumpkin, told Destiney that they will have her back if Nibblz is sent home and she may just buy it. While at dinner the girls got a envelope which allowed Destiney to choose one person to spend some along time with, that would be Pumpkin. She told Pumpkin that she was in better shape she thought and Pumpkin took the time to  “reveal” she had an eating disorder. She claims to be 200 pounds at one point but apparently it was all an lie and could have kept her in the game.

Back at the house Toastee kept up her ankle lie and realized she had to keep the lie up for awhile to make it believable. Destiney seems to have at least buy it for now as she felt bad for Toastee and it made her realize how it may be better to get rid of the stronger players which led to the elimination. Destiney stood in front of the three girls and had to say the one person who would stay first. By choosing Pumpkin this left Nibblz and Toastee still on the bubble to leave. In the end Toastee’s lie paid off as Nibblz check was voided, bouncing her out of the game. Next week it seems the fighting begins as two relationships form and crumble all in the same episode.

After watching A&Es Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal I have a greatly deeper and better understanding of just how scary and true seeing spirits can be. Of course there have been “ghost shows” out there before, but Psychic Kids was truly a moving experience that will forever change my view of the paranormal. The beginning seemed somewhat odd as we heard stories from three girls, Ahli (11), Jillian (12) and Faith (8) who claimed to seem ghosts and auroras. The show didn’t try to push the fact that they were being honest and truthful at the start but towards the end they didn’t have to. All three girls proved that they were the real deal and also opened themselves up for the camera to catch.

Ahli was somewhat the “odd girl out” of the bunch as she generally didn’t see ghosts but rather aurora’s. She can see different colors surrounding people that mean different things. Once she claims she ran into a man with a purple aurora, which to her means he is sick, and two days later the man died of a heart attack. If that wasn’t enough at the weekend retreat a specialist was called in. They both drew the o of the producer of the show and Ahli’s matched that of the specialist’s drawing. Later in the weekend she was also shown how to find people’s injuries or pains and help in healing. Ahli hovered her hands over Jillian’s mother, finding that she had problems with her chest and one knee. Jillian’s mother then clarified this was fact as she’s had bronchitis and her knee had been giving out.

Jillian was one of the two girls who could speak and interact with the dead. She saw a small boy in her home along with a lady named Emily. This Emily was the one causing most of the problems as she scolded Jillian and tried to make her do things. Jillian’s “proof” came when she saw her mother’s dead sister. Her mother had never told Jillian she had a twin who died at birth so this came as a shock to both her mother and to me as that is pretty amazing! Towards the end of the show Jillian was able to call out Emily and release her grasp. We also learned she believed Emily was her mother in a past life and Chip, the psychic medium specialist, confirmed this may be true.

Most of the beginning and end of the show focused on the youngest of the three, Faith. Her family was having a hard time believing their daughter had nothing more than an invisible friend and it was causing stress on the family. At the retreat Faith’s friend Freddie was found to actually exist in the time period she claimed he did. His mother Catherine, who Faith also sees, was also on Freddie’s records. This was an amazing segment as we learned that Faith does in fact have some ability to read into the world of spirits. If anyone thinks she’s lying after that they should seriously be put in jail. Towards the end of the show Faith had a traumatic experience as it seems Catherine lashed out at her, putting Faith in a state of terror. Chip along with Jillian were able to help Faith coax Catherine out and turn her away. In the end it seems Faith was able to release her fear of Catherine and remove her from her psychic experience.

The three girls shown on Psychic Kids were amazing. They prove to me that spirits and the world of the paranormal do in fact exist and isn’t just something we imagine. I hope to continue me journey with Psychic Kids and I hope it continues to change not only my view, but others as well, on the world of spirits and the paranormal.
