I Love Money Recap #1

t’s almost impossible to find fault with I Love Money, VH1’s latest foray into the world of pseudo-celebreality. This isn’t to say it’s not another deplorable, offensive entry in the genre – it totally is. But from the title alone, you know exactly what you’re getting. Many contestants from Flavor of Love, I Love New York and Rock of Love have been accused of only appearing on the shows for fame. I Love Money embraces that shamelessness and indulges in the fact that these people just want fame and fortune.

The premiere of I Love Money begins with the 17 rejects on a boat heading to their Mexican island where they will compete in a series of challenges until one person walks away with $250,000. The first unofficial challenge is getting off the boat without getting wet. Many fail, and Midget Mac once again reminds us that he’s terrified of drowning, so 12 Pack carries him off. They meet up with host Craig J. Jackson who tells them they’re competing for something more valuable than the love of Flavor Flav, Tiffany Pollard or Bret Michaels: a quarter of a million dollars. It’s about time someone put a price tag on love, but I think that’s being a bit generous. One hundred dollars and a bus pass would be more valuable than winning “love” with any of them.

…BLAH BLAH BLAH and,

Hoopz and Whiteboy are the top two, so they will pick the teams. This leads to plenty of sucking up to both of them. Mr. Boston appeals to the common Jewish faith between him and Whiteboy while Megan uses her greatest asset: her ability to make men stupid with her sexiness. Meanwhile, Brandi C. is creeped out that Mr. Boston is sleeping in the same room as her and Megan. In fact, she calls him, “Creepy Creeperton, Creepy Creeptastic, Creepy Creepy.” There’s a good chance Mr. Boston is my new favorite TV character.

I Love Money Elimination Time! For the first six, Hoopz chooses, in her order of preference: Rodeo, 12 Pack, The Entertainer, Heather, Toastee and Pumkin. Whiteboy chooses, in his order of preference: Chance, Real, Mr. Boston, Heat, Destiney, and Megan. Heat is reluctant to join the team without his boy 12 Pack, and Mr. Boston hilariously informs us that “Jews always stick together, especially on I Love Money.” God bless the Jews and their sense of humor.

It comes down to the final three and Hoopz chooses Nibblz because she does 10 pretty decent push-ups to impress the captains while Brandi C. sprains her ankle doing her push-ups. All four Flavor of Love girls are on the same team. Whiteboy goes for Brandi C., meaning, of course, Midget Mac is gone. That’s a bit of a no-brainer. Who wants an angry midget who doesn’t compete on their team?

This season on I Love Money: Lots and lots of screaming, fighting, scheming and hook-ups.  It’s like reality TV Heaven.
