VH1's 'I Love Money': The most honest reality show ever?

Jun 24, 2008, 04:56 PM | by Amy Wilkinson

Categories: 100% Pure Cheese, Reality TV, Television

Heatherrockoflove_l While watching last night's premiere of VH1's I Love the New Millennium (more on that to come), I caught a promo for what could be the most blatantly honest reality show ever: I Love Money. Starring some of the best (and by "best," I mean most ridiculous) VH1 reality also-rans from Rock of Love (including slap-happy Heather, pictured), I Love New York, and Flavor of Love, the show pits contestants in a series of physical challenges, with the winner hauling away $250,000. The show premieres July 6, and I couldn't be more excited (and not just because I've been missing those whackjob Rock of Love girls). I'm glad VH1 has finally greenlit a reality show that cuts to the chase. Because, really, why should contestants waste time pretending they're looking for true love when all they want is a fat paycheck?

Here are the 17 contenders:

12 Pack (I Love New York)
Brandi C. (Rock of Love)
Chance (I Love New York)
Destiney (Rock of Love)
The Entertainer (I Love New York)
Heat (I Love New York)
Heather (Rock of Love)
Hoopz (Flavor of Love)
Megan (Rock of Love)
Midget Mac (I Love New York)
Mr. Boston (I Love New York)
Nibblz (Flavor of Love)
Pumkin (Flavor of Love)
Real (I Love New York)
Rodeo (Rock of Love)
Toasteee (Flavor of Love)
Whiteboy (I Love New York)

Who will you be rooting for?

Sun, Sep 14, 2008 at 08:39 PM EST

After watching only one show I can honestly say this. Only in America can skanks and wanna be pimp losers be on T.V. Needless to say VH1 and MTV have lost a viewer over this garbage. Anyone who likes this crap is a high school drop out.

cashmoney Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 05:53 AM EST

hey Scott. learn to spell before you insult anyone. talking about dumbing down America. if you don't like vh1 or m.t.v. then why you on here wasting your time.

leo santana Mon, Sep 1, 2008 at 05:39 AM EST

white boy, real, and hoops need to go. they can take that whore Megan with them. if they are the stronger alliance then why has 12 pack and the entertainer been whipping on them all season long. i mean how many challenges have the so called stronger alliance won. if you like white boy, real and hoops then you are just are as sorry as they are. did you see that last episode. white boy could not even punch entertainers knuckles without crying like a little girl. way to cheer for them losers. go entertainers.

Datruth1104 Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 04:46 PM EST

I want sexy azz real to win...Is hoopz and real hooking up. DONT PLAY with him Hoopz.........

Matt Sun, Aug 24, 2008 at 12:05 PM EST

nine left
Hoopz Real Whiteboy Heather Pumkin Toastee Brandi C. Megan The Entertainer
dont want Entertainer cause he is a jerk.dont want Megan cause she is a mean girl.Brandi i dont like i hate pumkin. Toastee i dont like i think she will backstab.So my final four would be: Hoopz Real Heather Whiteboy
Although i think that since the four girls allience. Pumkin, Toastee, Megan and Brandi C is dumb i think 1 of them will make it to the final 4. My pick would be Megan since she is on Whiteboy's side and Whiteboy is on Hoopz. Ok and the reason why i think Heather will make it to the final4 is cause she has yet to be in the bottom3 or even close She is quiet and i think that she will make it to the final four. Then Whiteboy will make it because he is smart. But in the trailer for the show W-Boy and Real are both fighting for Hoopz.So i think Hoopz can use that agiast them. And i think one of Real, W-Boy will go home. My pick:W-boy leaves. To me my final2 be Real & Hoopz. 2 me Winner:Hoopz

MEGAN and HER DOG NEED TO PACK THEIR BAGS

Patterson Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 01:14 PM EST

How nasty is that Rodeo chick? She's like this old, wrinkly, clown-make-up wearing, blown-out, skanky, tuna-smelling, biker trash. And the best part - she was crying on ROL because she missed her son. Hey, you money-gurbbing trailer park whore, try NOT going on a reality show if you have a child that you might miss!!!

dolly&javy Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 12:59 PM EST

I think they should take out Pumkin cuz she is a trader,and Megan she should of took out Toostie for taking out Destiney.Overall I want Pumkin & Toostie out of there.

sly one Thu, Aug 14, 2008 at 09:26 AM EST

Okay but they are idiots and have no strategy...they are getting rid of the strong people and in the end someone weak may win! I hope someone eliminates "Spitter" aka Pumpkin next..oh well its been real Chance!

cee Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 12:31 PM EST

M3GGz reppin' RLBloodz Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 10:23 PM EST

aka lexa Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 07:25 PM EST

if anyone is to win th e money it should be destiny .she really deserves the money she works for it.otherwise then some people like megan who beleives she is to sweet and innocent to do anything.so destiny do the right thing .and if you had common sense go with the entertainer he wicked to send home heat but he the one.

sonya Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 11:09 AM EST

gina and keith Sun, Jul 20, 2008 at 02:16 PM EST

we absolutely love this show. we are rooting for the entertainer or 12 pack. white boy has got to go!!!!

Steve da p0pe Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 10:17 AM EST

i REALLY hope DESTINY wins this "i love money" show, i admit i thought she was a huge groupie in Rock of Love, but since this show came on, i have fallen in love with that girl lol. I hope she wins more than anyone else on the show, and if i had the money, i would give it to her myself lol, even if she lost :p im sure she could use some financial and emotional support after the incident with her dad, so if anyone deserves that money, its freaking DESTINY!

DESTINY if you read this,(yea right lmao) hit me up girl!

Paula Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 02:56 PM EST

Well, I have this channel on during the week in the am whilst dressing for my working day as the music motivates me! But I forgot to switch it today and turned it on. OMG that ugly little creature is making more television shows!! I watched an episode of I Love New York because I was fascinated that something so awful would be given airtime! Yep, its the dumbing down of America. Noone wants to 'think' any more. Yuck - what ghastly role models for the next generation!!

Megan Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 03:38 PM EST

Great game where you choose 3 of these train wrecks and earn points when they get drunk, hook up, fight, (aka: all the time)

Demolish0r Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 08:06 PM EST

Well its a good thing their are enough haters in this world like you keeping the people you hate the most so popular because the media and major tv reps are always looking for the most hated people around because they know idiots like some of you will watch it for the pure sake to bash whoever it may be so keep hating so we can see more tiffany "new york' pollards get more air time on the worlds most renowned reality tv channels keep up the good work

Maribel Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 07:07 PM EST

As a honor student in one of the top University in the U.S, I shamefully admit to watching these shows....shoot sometimes you just want to watch crap after a hard day of school work.

t3hdow Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 02:11 PM EST

AB pretty much nailed it. Even the show's title is not trying to be subtle about this show being for media whores. I'll at least commend it for being honest, but that's it. Don't like it? Change the channel.
Besides Best Week Ever, I'm pretty much done with VH1. Some of their reality shows were amusing like Celebrity Fit Club and The White Rapper Show, and the World Series of Pop Culture had some decent moments, but somewhere within the Flavor/Rock of Love stage, VH1 turned into MTV and lost me.

MsDaisy Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 01:18 PM EST

To Carrie...or even worse, it's already here and this is it.

Carrie Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 12:29 PM EST

I'm beginning to think that the apocalypse just isn't coming.

Eric Friedmann Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 11:05 AM EST

Scott, I'm glad to see someone finally agrees with me! The last time I watched MTV and enjoyed it was back in 1984 when Van Halen's album was brand new!

Scott Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 11:02 AM EST

MTV/VH1 blows. A total waste of airtime. Anyone who sits and watches these channels is an imbecile. The dumbing down of America contines.

MsDaisy Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 10:36 AM EST

Breaking News from VH1: On July 1, 2008, VH1 will officially change it's name to "Skanks & Ho's". We believe this new name better reflects our programming values.

becks Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 10:15 AM EST

I agree with Elizabeth-- I vote for a double shot of the World Series of Pop Culture

AB Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 09:11 AM EST

Hey, at least there's no pretense or hypocrisy here. The worst part about these shows for me is when the 'star' kicks someone off for being there for the 'wrong reason', when they themselves are only there to keep their face on TV. I mean, we already knew these people were just media wh*res and now they're coming out and admitting it. What's wrong with that? Of course these people are morally repugnant, but again we already knew that. Nobody's forcing you to watch the show.

Laurie Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 08:33 AM EST

Damn, no Lacey??? In that case I am rooting for bad weaves and challenges involving spelling.

Elizabeth Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 06:28 AM EST

I second Robert's vote... but if I have to pick, I think Heather will get it done.
Maybe VH1 should just do 2 installments of the World Series of Pop Culture and skip an installment of "I Love (insert decade here).

snarky Wed, Jun 25, 2008 at 05:52 AM EST

I'm with Todd on this one - rooting for alcholism, sluttiness and violence. But seriously, I love WhiteBoy and Midget Mac. Chance is CRAZY, so he is always some good tv. Putting it on the DVR list now, right next to "Intervention"

Dana Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 11:44 PM EST

the only one of these fools I can stand is rodeo. You go girl

Meghan Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 10:26 PM EST

Remember when VH1 was actually watchable?

Robert Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 08:23 PM EST

Can I root for a Jonestown situation here? Isn't that really kind of what would be the best for the world?

mikey Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 07:51 PM EST

I can't make up my mind between the drunken stripper or the ambiguously gay dude.

actingup Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 07:24 PM EST

I am hoping VH1 will be yanked. It is now officially the worst channel on TV. Disgusting.

Todd Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 06:38 PM EST

I'm rooting for alcoholism and sluttiness, but I'd be ok if violence won too. Anyone for a three-way tie?

Snarf Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 05:00 PM EST

A crippling eastern seaboard blackout (shades of Aug 2003 but longer) However I don't think it will happen because at heart, I'm a pessimist.

djm Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 04:47 PM EST

I am rooting for the Dept of Health to stop by and shut it down. Please VH1 - let these losers 15 minutes expire.

Eric Friedmann Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 04:36 PM EST

SLUTS AND MONEY!!! I love 'em both - but not enough to watch reality TV!

ANTM Freak Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 04:33 PM EST

I'll be rooting for penicillin.
