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.

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.

On the last I Love Money a love triangle forced the game into more drama then its seen before. But on the latest outing the show went overboard with maneuvers and game play never seen before on a VH1 show. I’m surprised how much like Survivor and Big Brother the show is becoming and its adding a lot to it for sure. When the next morning after Heat’s removal comes, 12 Pack realizes his best friend is gone and it forces him to play the game. He decides to align with over half the other team, asking them to throw the challenge and he’ll vote out White Boy. 12 Pack knows, or thinks he knows, that he can do this since he wants to be captain for the next round. After approaching Boston, Brandi and Megan, 12 Pack’s plan gets a green light as they agree to align and agree to throw the challenge to get their teammate Whiteboy out of the house.

When the house gets the call for the challenge the captains are locked in. 12 Pack is easily chosen for the Gold Team while Chance steps up as captain for the Green Team. At a local soccer course the challenge is explained and everyone learns that Hottie’s stupidity is the basis of the challenge. On the Flavor of Love the girls were asked to cook an entire chicken for Flave’s mom. Hottie was the only one to microwave her chicken, causing a bit of a salmonella issue as it wasn’t cooked….. at all. For I Love Money that moment was fitted to a chicken capitulate mission that was split into two parts. After three teammates put together the catapult, the remaining four would have to catch five chickens using aprons. The first team to get five chickens on the dinner table would win and send one of the opposing members house.

On the Green Team the challenge throwing started early with Boston and Megan being two of the three members to build the catapult. They worked, or lack therefore, with Chance who basically put the catapult together himself. Over on the Gold Team was 12 Pack, Pumpkin and Toastee putting together the catapult. They worked well together and quickly put their slinging machine together, just as they planned it. While the Gold Team slung their chickens into the air, quickly catching three, the Green Team finally got theirs together. After quickly catching two it was obvious the plan might fail but Boston secretly screwed up a few chickens, forcing the team to go down hill from there. In the end the Gold Team just squeaked out a win. The only interesting part from the catchers was Rodeo getting slapped in the face by a flying chicken. She laughed it off with her famous cackle but since they won she didn’t seem to care too much.

Since the plan went as well…. planned most of the Green Team were happy with the loss. Only the Stallionaires were a bit angry and WhiteBoy seemed to realize the challenge was thrown. Chance and Whiteboy then went to intimidate Boston, hoping he would reveal their plan but he played sick, once again, and they left him alone after a few pranks. Once the two guys left him alone, Boston decided to celebrate with Brandi who just happened to be showering at the time. She didn’t like Boston joining her and it ended with a scream from Brandi and a laugh from Megan who was standing just outside.

While Brandi and Boston spent some not so fun time in the shower, Whiteboy took the time to talk to to Megan and wanted to see if the team threw the challenge. She says that she didn’t throw it but Whiteboy sees through her. He knows he’s on the chopping block and tried to make Megan realize that they had to keep the strong. That little chat seemed to flop Brandi’s thoughts as she agreed with him and agreed to Boston, Brandi and Destiney going up on the chopping block. The two then created a new alliance but if Brandi pulled through Whiteboy would have to do the same for her next time. Not sure exactly how that would happen since if Brandi doesn’t go into the Box next time then Whiteboy will have to put a stallionare in there. I really don’t see that happening.

The next morning Megan warns Brandi but basically told her to put herself in the box. She didn’t say much and just agreed to it but Boston didn’t. When Brandi told Boston that he may go in he didn’t take it to easily and wondered why she was going against the plan. When it was time to go into the vault, everyone voted for Boston/Brandi/Destiney to be up for elimination. Although Destiney and Brandi took the news easily, Boston didn’t. He grabbed his check in hopes of running the 15 minute time limit out and he almost pulled through with it. Following that little spat from Boston, Brandi easily put her check in while Destiney wouldn’t do it. Whiteboy grabbed at Boston, forcing the host to come in to stop any type of fight. After Destiney puts hers in more drama goes down as Boston still won’t put his in. With only 54 seconds left the check goes in the box and all hell breaks loose. Boston freaks on everyone, screaming at both Megan and Brandi. It wasn’t pretty and is hands down one of the biggest freak outs of any VH1 show.

Following the reveal of the three nominees to the Green Team Boston wanted to leave but its 12 Pack and the power outing that makes him stay. After crying for a few minutes he gave in and went to lunch. All 12 Pack wanted to do was find out who turned on who and he jumped right into things. While the girls were giving their side of the story Boston moved away from the table but he had a reason to. Brandi revealed she was the one who turned by voting for Boston and t seems pretty clear she’ll be going home. When he could choose one person to spend time with 12 Pack chose Boston. The two are friends and he trust Boston but his actions seem kind of strange to him. One thing came from the chat and that was Boston didn’t vote for WhiteBoy, which could have possibly saved him as Destiney also had three.

Back at the house 12 Pack called a team meeting to see who his team wanted to be kicked out. Although he wanted a team vote, 12 Pack revealed that he gave Destiney his word to keep her in. Pumpkin and Toastee didn’t agree with that as he wanted a team vote yet wouldn’t vote out Destiney if they wanted to. They claim that he wanted to vote out the biggest competitor out of the three and his mind flips when he realizes that. Pumpkin realizes that 12 Pack wants to keep Destiney as she’s “dating” Entertainer and flips out in her normal way. After slamming the door about 20 times Pumpkin pulls out another famous quote which I won’t mention here in hopes of keeping this as PG as possible.

At the elimination it was time for 12 Pack to choose either Brandi, Boston or Destiney to bounce. When allowed to give a few words before 12 Pack chose, Brandi opened up about throwing the challenge. Boston didn’t reveal at first that he threw the challenge but after Brandi told everyone about the plan Boston opened up to say that Megan was involved as well. The two kiddies, Brandi and Boston, continued to fight calling each other names which kind of caused 12 Pack to give Destiney her check first. With that there were two left to go: Brandi and Boston. In the end 12 Pack chose to save Brandi, forcing Boston’s check to bounce. Although the two were friends it is a game and Boston was forced to leave the mansion and the game.

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.

If you’ve been following any of the VH1 shows for awhile you probably realized that the celebrities on the show don’t always seem to be there for love but at least say they are. Recently this has been seen in Flavor of Love 3 where Flavor Flav didn’t seem interested in any of the women and ended up proposing to none of the 65 girls who fought on the show for his affection. He did though propose on the shows third season finale to Liz, the mother of his latest child and a women who NEVER appeared on any of his shows. To make things even more worse, he says that he knew he was in love with her and wanted to marry her DURING the second season! This means that Flavor Flav knew he wasn’t going to fall in love with any of the girls on the show, although he said he did and did in fact do it for either the money or he was forced it. I’ve lost some respect for the VH1 shows. Of course I’ll probably still watch them but the thought will now always be in my mind.

Now that I got that little bit of info out it’s time for a rant. I LOVE the VH1 reality shows because they are so funny and generally have tons of drama. I also felt that there was at least a touch of realness in the show since at least sometimes it does seem there is love felt between the “celebrity” and at least one contestant. But now that Flavor Flav basically said his show was well all for show that kind of makes me wonder. Were Rock of Love and I Love NY the same as they were forced into it? I mean NY SAYS she’s in love with Tailor Made but is she contracted for a third season so that will have to change? Does Brett Michael’s really care about the girls that are there as he cries while some of them leave or is he crying happy tears knowing he’ll be raking in the cash? It also makes me wonder who in their right mind would even say they would be a “celebrity” on one of these shows now? It’s obvious that people will wonder if the show is real or not since at least two season of Flavor of Love were pronounced pointless by Flavor Flav himself! So yeah I ranted a bit but I think everyone should know what’s going on with VH1. It’s obvious they are in it for the ratings but seriously do they have to keep the people they have when it’s obvious they aren’t there for love?

Over the past few years I’ve found myself very entertained by the reality shows known as “celebreality” that VH1 had to offer. From the Surreal Life, Flavor of Love and now Rock of Love, VH1 was always impressing me with their quality and humor in their shows. Lately though I think they are becoming rather stale and lacking in those shows that just made you laugh without making it see too fake. The numerous copies of the original Flavor of Love are all the same and lately the drama just doesn’t seem to be there for them. They are reusing their same celebrities time and time again and are really overusing their “Love” theme a little too much. With three romance themed series and seven of them either finished or currently airing, it just gets too tiring. Luckily two of their shows have caught my attention and made me love VH1 all over again.

First up we have Scott Baio is 46 & Pregnant. Although this is a sequel to his first season it feels nothing like it. It’s all about his life now that he is a dad and how his life has changed. It is filmed in a very different feel from other shows as it feels almost like a comedy more then reality, even though it is depicting his life. All the people on the show are always adding something to it and it feels “right”. It doesn’t feel contrived too much, like other shows, and offers real life drama which VH1 is lacking on its romance shows.

The second has to be Celebrity Rehab. I didn’t think the show would be as good as it is as I thought it’d be exactly like intervention but with Celebrities. It’s nothing like that as it takes you through their stages of beating their addiction rather then showing you what their addiction does in their real life. It is a real life drama and catches REAL emotions and is just great to watch. Although some of the characters are focused on more then others, each of them had a moment on the show. I can’t wait to see how it ends and hopefully VH1 can pick this up for another season as it’s Celeb-Reality at its best.
