I Love Money Episode 8: 12 Pack is toast
‘I see this game coming down to the two core alliances in the house’, 12 Pack says; as he, Heather and The Entertainer contemplate thier chances of winning it all.
Brandi, Pumkin, Toasteee and Megan are consolidating as well; although for some unknown reason they still believe their alliance is a secret.
(I suppose 4 women gathered and whispering in a room is perfectly normal. Particularly when they just happen to not be part of the other alliances)
Enough of that, though, as all the alliances, open and secret, gather to receive Craig’s instruction to assemble on the beach at 1pm.
Arriving there; they are greeted by piñata creations of themselves and told they (the piñatas) are the centerpiece of ‘The Backstabbers Challenge’.
The Backstabbers Challenge
The Backstabbers Challenge asks the remaining competitors to throw ninja-star knives at the dummys, one turn at a time.
Three knives in a dummy, eliminates that competitor; and the first contestant to have three knives in his likeness will be automatically added to the box for the ‘Elimination ceremony.
The winner of the challenge will be the Paymaster.
With each alliance holding at least 3 members they have the opportunity to target a rival, but only one alliance shows that focus.
After The Entertainer throws first and strikes Hoopz; Real and Hoopz go after his dummy, but Hoopz misses.
Brandi C then sticks one in Whiteboy’s dummy; but Heather misses. (I’d have bet my iPod that Heather and Hoopz would plant those knives)
12 Pack hits Whiteboy, then Pumkin eliminates him with a perfect throw; thus placing him up for Elimination.
In order, The Entertainer, Heather, Pumkin, Megan, Hoopz and Brandi C are ousted from the Challenge, leaving 12 Pack, Real and Toastee with two knives in their dummy likenesses.
With the advantage of throwing first, Real eliminates 12 Pack. But not really; ’cause 12 Pack is still allowed a throw; and he eliminates Real, leaving Toastee as the winner (that makes no damn sense)
Toasteee thus becomes the first contestant to repeat as Paymaster.
Heading back to the mansion Whiteboy says Megan proved herself to him (she threw all her knives at TE and Heather); and Real is pleased Hoopz is safe; cause he likes her mind. (Real is so gay; and being attracted to hoopz does not disprove that)
The Vault
Almost immediately on arrival at the mansion, 12 Pack has a sit-down with Toasteee and advises her 
Whiteboy, strategically, is the most sensible choice to eliminate.
And after receiving assurances from Toasteee; suggests he ought to throw himself in the box just to make the choice even clearer (uh-ohhh…SMH)
Meanwhile, Megan reports to the Stallionaire alliance that Pumkin is the real power and convincing her is the key to saving Whiteboy (no doubt they are meeting at a secret location and no one knows she’s in there plotting with a rival alliance… SMH)
Megan suggests they remove their threat on Pumkin, and Real goes off to find her to apologise. Pumkin is skeptical, naturally; but accepts it and agrees to a meeting with the Stallionaires. After hearing their promise to protect her if she protects Whiteboy; she persuades Toasteee to listen as well and form a ’super-alliance’.
Outside, 12 Pack asks Megan to vote him into the box (the fuckry continues)
After all the discussions, promises and assurances; the voting is predictable. 12 Pack’s and The Entertainer’s checks, join Whiteboy’s in the box.
Power Outing
Discussing the events of the vault, Brandi C reiterates Whiteboy must go, and says of Megan, ’she needs to get her head in the game; this is ‘I Love Money’ not ‘I Love Whiteboy’
But it’s really Toasteee’s decision to make and she’s off to the ‘power outing’ where they are cleansed by a Mexican shaman. The cleansing involved being spat on by some sort of unknown liquid.
Toasteee, didn’t seem bothered too much ’cause that ain’t the first time she’s had a facial.
Back at the mansion, Megan works on Brandi C and Pumkin… her new spin is, removing 12 Pack is the best option because removing him ensures both alliances would still want the other out; and not them.
(but wait; isn’t their alliance a “secret”? The only person in danger of being targeted is Toasteee)
Despite the almost complete absence of logic, Brandi C and Pumkin are in favor of the idea.
Back at the ‘power outing’ Toasteee chooses 12 Pack for one-on-one time; and leaves for home in favor of eliminating Whiteboy.
Elimination
At ‘Eliminations’ Toasteee stares down her options and quickly spares The Entertainer. (why not just make your choice known and void their check?)
Toasteee, looking cheap and trashy as usual, then calls 12 Pack to her and says, ‘you gave your ‘word’ out, to everybody. For that reason it’s hard to believe you… your check is voided!’
A stunned 12 Pack, keeps his composure and walks away… a classy exit from the classiest player on the show.
So that’s that; thanks for reading.
No back-to-back episodes this week, which is the only thing we’ve got wrong.
Laterz.

I love coral-”I eat babies for breakfast”. I straight stole that line and use it all the time. I actually love all the vets-Tonya, Derek, The MIZ!!!!, just to name a few. Dude, Diem started getting on my nerves after she got with CT. Remember Ace?? The clumsy guy who couldn’t win challenges for shit? Hopefully there is a RW/ RR blog up in here so that we can start commenting!!!
Johanna is so hot
I’m glad they added Sydney/Hollywood cast members cause besides Denver, those are the only seasons I’ve watched.
12 pack got his interview up.
http://blog.vh1.com/2008-08-26/the-celebreality-interview-12-pack/
Johanna hooks up with Kenny in the Island, which is gross. She is hot, but hooking up with Kenny downgrades her. She’s also a psychopath. I hated her in Gauntlet III.
Nice job finding the interview Maze!
Thanks.
I find it interesting the way 12 pack dissed Heather. He thinks she’s a psycho. No real surprise there.
I am beginning to get a little annoyed with Entertainer if the preview of the spit olympics episode is correct. He’s on the beach play horseshoes or volleyball with Megan (who he previously hated) and apparently sometime during this whole show he has sex with Pumkin..although I don’t know because VH1 seemed to edit the hell out of that scene. One moment Entertainer is saying “she kept saying she wanted to have sex” and in the very next breath and mid sentence he’s saying “if there was a gun blah blah”…it’s a weird scene because it kind of seems like the audio team messed with it…I don’t really think his lips match what he is saying. VH1 obviously has edited words contestants said (like pumkin eliminating chance because she alone voted for it)…I don’t know if he has sex with pumkin but it is interesting that on Entertainer’s and Destiney’s myspace, they both claim to be single and neither one has the other listed as a top friend.
I think it’s safe to say Destiney and Entertainer are no more.
I liked Destiney the best out of all of them. She was always sweet. She grew up from ROL2 and stopped pounding on the make up…once she went light on make up she actually resembled Demi Moore somewhat.
I think I’m starting to become a Real fan now.
Oops, I meant to say it was weird with Entertainer because one moment he’s saying “she wanted to have sex” and the very next scene while he is in mid sentence he grabs a cigarette from his pack and puts it in his mouth. I think the voice editing is off.
the best competiors ever r like
ct, darrell, landon, brad, wes, evan, miz, abram, mark, derrick
lol I think Kenny might be on the DL. Johanna is the only good looking girl on the show besides Jen from Denver.
Agree with Aurelius: Johanna is absolutely amazing, stunning and needs a “real” vessel to becoming a star. I would eat one hundred miles of her **** to see where it came from. I really love “i love money” just don’t call it a game show. This is a bit of trash programming to make money from familiar faces from earlier bits of trash programming. Defending the credibility of these shows only makes you a sad sad vh1 sheep. These “contestants” were selected for their ability to act in a pseudo-real way and cause as much drama as possible. It’s the same on Mtv, Discovery, etc. They record hours and hours of footage and edit it to appear more dramatic. I would bet a significant quantity of dough that if you were to watch every single recorded minute you’d realize this is all b.s. I also imagine you’d soon discover that the personalities of the actors/actresses isn’t the same as what is depicted. I’m not trying to say it isn’t fun. As I said “I love “I love money.”" It’s a great piece of trash. That’s all it is though. This isn’t real. I simply can’t stand people gullible enough to buy into “the reality of reality programming” All of it is staged. Producers won’t invest money in totally unpredictable programming anymore. Especially not when they can get the semblance from something staged. If you can’t accept reality then natural selection will come for you soon. Peace, and much love.
to: frisco-kid. I care that they aren’t celeb-reality. Especially when someone calls it that. Lets at least have accurate statements if we are going to comment. As I said the celeb-reality shows were a fresh movement in programming that died out. They gave washed up actors another shot(unfortunately most were a self-deprecating shot). Anyone who can argue that “New York” is a better actress than Bonaduce or Baio or even The Great Canseco is totally daft. However if you’re argument has merit and some sort of floatation device I’d be incredibly impressed. It seems however, unfortunately, due to the fact that people(myself included) are tuning into these terrible spin-offs that it will only become the persistent norm. “new york goes to hollywood(vomit)” comes to mind. You can tune into a program with a 0 talent or something like Surreal Life, brimming with creative sag actors. Kind of a simple life(er choice).
Peace and much love.
That is true
Steupz, did you get any word on why vh1 didn’t show back to back episodes? That is really bothering me.
