I Love Money 2: Episode 12
Airs Mondays on VH1

What the fuck.
I hoped and prayed (o.k. I’d never get faith involved in my VH1 ventures… or anything for that matter) for a secret alliance and it crumbles in one episode. Myammee decided it was more important to fuck over two people who absolutely trusted her than keep them under her side boobs. Talk about an alliance as strong as a pubic hair.
On a side note, how is it that It made it to the final six? I’ve been thinking this over and I think there are two factors, and two factors alone, that have gone the right way for It. 1) He’s hooking up with Saaphyri (and who ever thought that would bring anything other than Saaphyri with an STD.) 2) His alliance happened to gain strength in the end, which is when it counts.
Alright, so Saaphyri surprises everyone and wins a challenge. This screws everything up for the ‘Tailor Made’ alliance, who needed a good slap in the face anyway. Reminder to their alliance: You are not the shit. You are shit. It’s not how you want to take it.
For the challenge, they had to hang onto a life preserver over the water. When Prancer’s horns unhook she smacks down hard and says that she bruised her bone. Everyone immediately accuses her of being a total Toastee Season 1. Toastee faked being weak so Destiny would send home the stronger competitor. And it worked. And despite Saaphyri saying Prancer’s actions won’t work, they do. She stays, and Ice gets sent home.
But I’m getting ahead of myself. The vault fascinated me this week. This “pretty girl alliance” obviously fell through fast because both Ice and Myammee voted for Prancer to go in the box. The VH1 editors mostly focused on Myammee voting in Prancer, but I think it’s important to note that Ice did as well. What Prancer didn’t realize was she was getting screwed over by everyone. But, it was way better to watch Ice get thrown in. She realized it even less. We all knew Prancer would get thrown in because the ‘Tailor Made’ alliance talked about it while the poor reindeer was getting her hooves checked out at the hospital.
Frenchy has permanently attached herself to my heart. She refused to vote Tailor Made into the box because he saved her once. I’m still really routing for her to win, even though I’ll never understand her if she does, because she’ll start rambling on about “retarded“ and “lions” and tigers or something.
Oh who am I kidding. I don’t really like any of them. I sorta hope this ends like Real Chance of Love and it defies all other reality shows by having two losers. It’s too bad they didn’t keep Cali around, since she already knows what that’s like. Now THAT would have made me laugh.
