I Love Money Review

Quick View: I Love Money is a show that features castoffs from three reality "love" shows, pitting them against one another for a grand prize of $250,000. But more, it has all the silly drama, sex, fighting, and tears that the reality shows these people were on before had - then some!

About I Love Money

I am a reality show fan so I know all the contestants on this crazy show. This show features castoffs from past seasons of Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love (with Bret Michaels), all vying for the grand prize of $250,000. But, before they can crown a winner, there has to be challenges, vote offs, alliances, romance, fights, tears, public puking, drunken brawls and falls, and all the dramz we have come to know and ... watch while wondering why we are wasting our times watching!

For those of you who have watched the other shows, the cast includes:

From Flavor of Love:Hoopz, Nibblz, Pumkin, and Toastee

From I Love New York: 12 Pack, Chance, Real, The Entertainer, Heat, Midget Mac, Mr. Boston, and White Boy

From Rock of Love: Brandi C, Destiny, Heather, Megan, and Rodeo

The Show

Well, there has only been one actual show on so far but they show constant clips of future shows after every rerun of the premiere show. Essentially, these castoffs and nobodies are in Mexico vying against one another for the grand prize. They are not split into the shows they were once on (and lost) but are now split into two teams and one member has already been eliminated. I won't spoil it for you as to who was cast off the first show because I KNOW you want to watch this award winning reality drama fest. ;)

As the show progresses, a member will be cast off via a challenge or other means until there is just one left standing. That member will receive a check for $250,000. In between now and then, expect to see really crazy challenges (They already ALL had to wear two piece bikinis and try to catch flying money and stuff it into their suits to determine team captains), romance, unabashed sexual encounters, lots of arguments and fights, drinks a plenty, the cast in barely any clothing, secret alliances, lots of tears (from both genders), unrequited crushes, temper tantrums, outbursts, backstabbing, and secrets revealed.

It's reality at its silliest but will I be watching? Oh, heck yeah! I know everybody on the show and they do flashback to their previous shows to give you uneducated folks a look at how the contestants behaved then. They haven't changed from what I have seen. The Entertainer did change his famous yell from "I LOVE NEW YORK!" to "I LOOOOOVE MONEY!" but he's still as boisterous as ever (and he has a crush on Rodeo). Brandi C. is still an incredibly dumb blonde. Brothers Chance and Real are still as different as night and day. Chance was a runner up for New York's "love" a couple of seasons ago. Midget Mac is still totally unintelligible and needs captions when he talks because he speaks in his own language. Heather is still Heather (Runner up on the first season of Rock of Love) in her designer stripper bikinis and 'tude and Mr. Boston is still incredibly creepy. You'll love it. lol.

Tune into VH1 on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. for a dose of ridiculous reality. This show combines badly imitated challenges of Fear Factor and Survivor with the drama of Big Brother and The Real World to make a D-List show from which I simply can't turn away. Because I have only seen the rewind show talking about who the cast was and what they were up to now and the premiere which was filled with the usual drama, I can't rate this from experience but, come on. We all know what we're in for when we tune into a show like this and hey, it can't POSSIBLY be worse than Tila Tequila's A Shot at Love show, can it? Ugh.

My Viewpoint

Mindless, silly fun. This show brings together cast members from three popular VH1 reality love shows and pits them against each other for cold, hard cash. One contestant will walk away a quarter of a million dollars richer and all will walk away more humiliated than they were on the other shows. Good times. 3 stars. Recommenced watching for those like me who can't get enough of the craziness that these reality shows bring to the small screen every week.
