Enigmatic’s I Love Money Finale: Hoopz wins

I Love Money Final 4.jpgThe Finale opens with the Final 4 contestants preparing for the new day.
Real believes Whiteboy has turned against him but Whiteboy thinks all of the alliances are done because there are only 4 people left.
Hoopz feels there may be some tension in her alliance (For real? I can’t believe it. ::rolling eyes heavily:: )

Everyone then gathers around the phone to listen to Craig and he tells them their challenge will be “crazy” and “athletic”.
Whiteboy is happy about having an athletic challenge but Megan is nervous about it.

The Krazy toss Challenge

At the challenge, Craig greets everyone and explains that for the Challenge there will be no vault ceremony afterwards. He tells them the winner of the Challenge will become ‘Paymaster’, have a power dinner with the losers, and then there will be an Elimination Ceremony.

Craig then goes on to explain the rules of the “Krazy Toss,” modeled after the Buckeey/Krazy fight on FOL 2. The contestants have to get on a big black box suspended over the water, transport a ‘Krazy doll’ across a balance beam and onto a balcony, over which the doll is thrown; before returning.
The person who completes the challenge in the fastest time, wins.

Megan is first and she stalls for time because she is afraid of heights. She eventually regains her composure to begin the challenge but she struggles to lift the doll. Eventually she succeeds and takes the doll across the balance beam but she trips, falls, and drops the doll to be disqualified from the Challenge.
Megan is extremely embarrassed and disappointed about losing.

Hoopz is next and she gets the doll across the beam and over the balcony quickly, but she wastes precious time, forgetting she must return across the beam. She finishes in 23 seconds and complains the rules were unclear (No, your bionic ear just failed on you today).

Real: I Love Money Finale.jpgReal is next and completes the challenge in 28 seconds. Megan comments Real must be particularly upset because he always finishes second to Hoopz.
Whiteboy is last and he completes the challenge in a swift 16 seconds to become ‘Paymaster’.
Whiteboy is elated and thus escalates his endless tirade of bragging in the ‘Confessional’.

After the challenge, Real and Megan talk about being afraid of Whiteboy sending them home. Real thinks Whiteboy is no longer loyal to him but Megan believes Whiteboy’s loyalty to Real is what will end up getting her eliminated (Why are they talking now? They have never talked this whole season but they are talking now).

At the ‘power dinner’ everyone is silent and we are constantly interrupted by Whiteboy’s constant bragging in the confessional about him being the ‘Paymaster’.
Whiteboy continues to drink at dinner until he eventually asks Real about keeping him if he was the ‘Paymaster’ (Why wasn’t this episode called ‘Drunk with Power’?).
Real says something but it leads to him and Whiteboy arguing over loyalty and Hoopz.

Megan cuts in to bring up the conversation she had with Real on the stairs and Real and Megan begin to argue.
While listening to this argument, Whiteboy hints in the ‘Confessional’, he plans on eliminating Real.

Hoopz cuts in to defend Real about what Megan said; but Whiteboy is shocked to hear Real doubts his loyalty and an argument with Hoopz ensues.
He continues his drunken “I’m paymaster dawg. I’ll send your ass home” rant while telling everyone he has made up his mind and talks trash to Megan (Shut the fuck up already bitch…..damn)
Now Real, Megan and Hoopz all feel nervous about the elimination ceremony.

Eliminations and The Jury

Megan I Love Money .jpgAt eliminations, (WTF? I thought they were gonna show Whiteboy talking to Craig about his decision. This shitty editing is pissing me off) Whiteboy continues to drink and question Craig’s ability to count.
Craig asks the ‘Bottom 3′ how they would feel if they were eliminated. Hoopz says she wouldn’t be able to sleep, Real says he would be hurt only because Whiteboy is the ‘Paymaster’ and Megan says she worked hard to protect Whiteboy (WTF? Why don’t you just superglue yourself to Whiteboy’s nuts because that’s obviously where you want to be)

Whiteboy calls Real up and reminds him of their friendship beginning with ILNY. He adds, on ILM their friendship was still good but after Chance left, Real got closer to Hoopz and he started feeling left out (Is this high school? You mad because your friend left you for a robot tranny?)
Whiteboy then tells Craig he wants Real’s check to be voided.

Real and Whiteboy argue and Real yells, “Hoopz is the only real person in the house.” (Why is he acting and sounding like Pumkin when she got eliminated on FOL?)

Craig voids Real’s check but asks Real to stay and sit on the bench. Craig also tells Whiteboy that his time as ‘Paymaster’ is over and to go stand next to Megan and Hoopz, before advising them that Real is a member of a jury and that the jury will choose the ‘Final 2′.

Craig calls in the jury and explains that the jury is everyone who was eliminated since the individual challenges began (Where is Brandi C?)… 12 Pack, Heather, The Entertainer, Toastee and Pumkin come in to join Real on the bench.

After they come in, Craig asks 12 Pack and The Entertainer about their feelings on the ‘Final 3′. Both say that they felt Real should be in the ‘Final 3′ instead of Megan. Craig asks Megan how she feels about what was said and a long series of Megan backstabbing every member of the jury is shown; Megan tells Craig she wants to quit because she would be happy to see Hoopz or Whiteboy win.

In her exit interview, Megan says she refuses to let the jury decide her fate and she never believed she could win anyway. As Real leaves, he says he found a great friend in Hoopz and he says that she was a bigger prize than the money (Friends with a mandroid that doesn’t like you or $250,000? How the hell is being friends with her better than winning the money?)

Dash for Cash Challenge

Whiteboy: I Love Money Finale challenge.jpgThe next morning, Whiteboy and Hoopz anxiously wait for the call for the final challenge. Eventually they receive the call and leave for the challenge. At the site of the “Dash for the Cash” challenge, Craig tells Whiteboy and Hoopz they have to race to complete challenges at specific areas and they cannot advance until they finish the challenge in that area. The person who successfully completes all of the challenges first, wins the show.

The first challenge is to collect 100 pesos from the people in the square. They can get these pesos in any way they can except for stealing (They gotta hustle for some money).

Whiteboy uses his ability to speak Spanish to quickly collect his pesos. Hoopz however, can’t speak Spanish and she begs many people who either turn her down or don’t understand her (All she needed to say was “Necesito cien pesos por favor”).
Whiteboy gets in his cab and he is long gone. Hoopz struggles to collect her pesos but she eventually sells her belly ring to an arrogant man to get the pesos. Hoopz goes to her cab but she gets stuck in a terrible traffic jam putting her behind Whiteboy even further.

Whiteboy arrives at the site of the second challenge and has to run down a tall, steep hill to get to the beach and the location of his second challenge.
Meanwhile, Hoopz finally gets out of the gridlock to make her way to the second site.

At the second task, Whiteboy begins rolling a large coin through a set of flags (I know a black person came up with this challenge. Hustlin’ and pitchin’ pennies? Come on now).

Hoopz finally arrives at the site and chases down the hill to get to the beach. Whiteboy is tired but sees Hoopz arriving at the beach site and pushes himself to finish the ‘Challenge’ and get on the boat to the final site.
Hoopz begins rolling her coin but she struggles terribly. However, Hoopz sees Whiteboy is already in his boat so she continues on and finally finishes. She races to her boat.

Whiteboy arrives at the beach in front of the mansion. He jumps off the boat, swims to the shore, runs to the long, winding stairs leading to the backyard and the site of the final challenge. The final challenge consists of putting the pictures of all of the eliminated contestants in order of their elimination (Wow. This is the absolute final challenge? You have got to be kidding me).

Whiteboy starts off ok but he gets Mr. Boston and Destiney’s elimination order mixed up. Hoopz arrives at the site and realizes Whiteboy is still stuck on the challenge.

As she places her contestants in order, Whiteboy says he is finished but Craig checks and says Whiteboy’s order is wrong.
Hoopz then completes her challenge.

Craig checks her pictures and upon confirming the order, Hoopz is crowned the winner.

Hoopz can’t believe she won the show saying that the money would mean so much to her mom and sisters. Whiteboy says he is disappointed but he says he is not a sore loser and Hoopz is the only other person who he feels deserves the money.

Twenty Questions with Lizza Morales of New York Goes To Hollywood

New York Goes To Hollywood has ended and there won’t be a 2nd season, I imagine; but we’d definitely love to see more of her assistant, Lizza Morales.
In light of that, we asked her to take a shot at our hard-biting Twenty Questions segment.

Lizza Monet-Morales.jpg1. Your greatest joy?

The ways in which my family and friends make me feel really alive when we are together!!! Whether it’s laughing so hard I can’t stop or as small as the warm fuzzies I get simply hearing their voice on the other end of a phone, it’s priceless. ;)

2. Your secret fear?

Well that’s why it’s a secret..lol Seriously though, of a terrible death where I can’t do anything to save my loved ones or myself. EEK!!

3. The best advice you have received and from whom?

As my friends will tell you, anything and everything my Grandmother ever said was a jewel of wisdom. They broke the mold when they made her!! One of my favorite sayings though, was to learn to read people (their bodies, words, silence) so well that “when they are coming, you are already going”. This will always keep you one step ahead of the game. It works every time.

4. Your most embarrassing moment?

I was at this fancy Hollywood party several years ago where I was going to meet up with some friends. The house the party was in was gorgeous and the backyard where all the guests were had this huge, oddly shaped pool and jacuzzi in the center. I walked out to the backyard and was making my way over to a group of people I knew and I took a wrong step and walked right into the pool!!! Thank goodness it was one of the corner angles of the pool and that I was wearing black. Without looking up, I quickly jumped out and ran into the kitchen entrance of the house to find a bathroom. I went through the cupboards and found a towel and a dryer and dried off. I went back out to the party 45 minutes later as if nothing had happened, but I still felt beet red and totally embarrassed. Everyone was asking where I had been and I said I had unexpectedly fallen into some extra work. OMG!! Funny thing is no one noticed or at least they didn’t tell me they did..but I guess now that’ll change. EEK!

5. Your happiest moment?

Seeing the unique look of accomplishment, pride and satisfaction all rolled into one on the faces of my Mother and Grandmother when I received my College diploma because it was their victory too!!

6. The biggest turn-on in a man?

A man who knows what he wants and will go after it without reservation or playing games, you see this confidence exude in the way he walks, talks and looks at you. I would seriously melt like an M&M in their hands. LOL

7. The biggest turn-off?

The ones that don’t want to grow up and think that being selfish, cocky and rude to others is somehow charming. NEWSFLASH-it’s not!!

8. The part of your body you like the most?

It’s a tie between my full lips or my Latin booty. ;)

9. The body part you would like to change if given the chance?

Funny enough, when I was a kid I was teased so much about my lips and height. So I wanted to be shorter and have flat lips!! As a teenager, that went out the door when I realized how much people paid to have lips like mine and saw friends practically breaking their ankles to wear heels that would make them as tall as I was naturally. Today, I wouldn’t change a thing.

10. The best book you ever read?

The Wizard of Oz or To Kill A Mocking Bird (TWO WORDS: LOVES IT!!)

11. On a second chance, what would be your dream profession?

A children’s book author or a competitive dancer. Though, I must admit I have always wanted to be a Zamboni driver for a day. Aside from a great name for a job, it looks like they have soooo much fun on the ice.

12. The thing most people do not know about you?

There’s a lot more to me than meets the eye! For starters, I’m a HUGE video game and gadget addict. I need them all. No, seriously!! I also love spending whatever free time I have volunteering, whether it’s running self-esteem workshops for at-risk teens, organizing a fundraising event for a deserving charity, tutoring kids in a classroom or even building a house with Habitat for Humanity, the natural high I get from the look of gratitude, hope and joy in those I help is something that money could never buy. I live a very blessed life now but I had some pretty tough obstacles as a child. Which is why I’m able to let so much roll off my back. I am proof that if you don’t give up or settle, Happy Endings are possible no matter what life throws your way!!

13. Your pet peeves?

Ignorant people, dishonesty and cruelty to others or animals.

14. Your favorite food?

Homemade Mexican food or good quality sushi. YUMMY!!!

15. The man you most admire apart from your father or lover?

It’s a tie between the following:

President John F. Kennedy for starting the Peace Corps and really being vocal and committed to teaching people how important it is to give back to our communities on a local and global level in order to better understand ourselves.

Martin Luther King Jr. for standing up for what he believed to be right to benefit us all, regardless of the personal humiliation and sacrifices he ultimately endured.

16. Your secret personality weapon?

Be your best self at all times and listen with your ears and heart. If that doesn’t work, then smile, walk away and move on. You don’t need their negative energy weighing you down or holding you back.

17. Your personal credo?

When there is “no way”, then take it into your hands and “make a way” but never submit to “walking away”. When all is said and done, your success will be your best revenge!

18. Your irresistible temptation?

Walking home from school, I use to pass the time by stepping on sprinkler heads that stuck out of the grass to watch them sink in and hear that “plop” when they did. To this day, I can’t just walk by when I see one. It always makes me laugh and remember what being a kid felt like

19. The one place you would like to visit before you die?

What a great question!! I’ve always dreamt of going on safari in Africa

20. Your most elusive goal?

On a fun level, entering and winning LG’s 2009 National Texting Championship for being the fastest phone texter in the country and donating part of my winnings to charity. I know I’m fast on that sucker but I want to prove just how fast!!! ;)
Sadly, I was out of the country when it happened this year. Did I mention I’m a HUGE gadget and video game addict…lol

On a professional level, it would be selling my documentary that reveals a side of Hollywood that you don’t see but is more intriguing than anything you normally do. At some point, I also see myself hosting a show that teaches people everything from how easy, fun and even sexy “living green” can be to how to construct a personal blueprint for their lives to live them as they dreamed and not as they settled for.
================================================================

This was a blast, once you got me started I couldn’t stop..lol
Thanks for all the support, stay tuned for my next adventure. :)

With Gratitude and Friendship,
Lizza

I Love Money Finale Spoiler

Megan, Real, Hoopz and Whiteboy at the I Love Money Finale.jpgHere we are at the I Love Money Finale spoiler. Just know that I will only predict up to the Final 2 contestants.
I will NOT predict a winner because I don’t know who won and the stupid Internet rumors floating around about the “winner” do not convince me that that person won.

I have 2 bits of info this time to draw-up a spoiler post, but I think one either has a typo or was designed to throw people off when thinking about who wins.
First the VH1 press release:

After all the backstabbing, bed hopping and broken alliances, only Real, Hoopz and Whiteboy have played the game well enough to stay in the house. But a jury of their eliminated peers and a final personal challenge still stands between them. Who will be the last one standing to take home the $250,000 cash prize?

And the show description:

The four remaining players compete for the final paymaster position in the scariest, high-flying challenge yet. Set above the enormous cliffs of Huatulco, the finalists go all out while their hearts beat out of their chests.
Later, the house erupts as contestants make their final pleas to stay in the game. The paymaster faces the most difficult decision so far; one that will test the strongest alliance in the game and potentially end a friendship forever.

After an elimination ceremony, the final three must stand before a jury of their peers, a jury that will ultimately decide which two players will compete for the cash in the final challenge. Then, in an exciting, neck and neck race all throughout Mexico, the two finalists battle it out and lay everything on the line for a quarter of a million dollars.

======================================================================

The Paymaster

Hoopz: I love Money Winner.jpgIf you notice, there is no mention of Megan in the VH1 press release. However, the ‘show description’ seems to indicate that Megan may not be the first person to get eliminated.

From the preview put up this week, it’s obvious that Megan does not become the ‘Paymaster’ but I also believe that Hoopz doesn’t become the ‘Paymaster’ either, because her decision would be to eliminate Megan over Whiteboy and Real.

I don’t believe Real becomes the paymaster because he will eliminate Whiteboy. Therefore I believe the only person who could become the paymaster is Whiteboy.

I believe Whiteboy will become ‘Paymaster’ because he will have the hardest decision to make, in deciding whether he should keep Real, or Megan.
In the end, I believe the conflict from the last episode will reach its peak and Whiteboy will eliminate Real.
I also think Real gets eliminated here because of what happens next.

The Final 3

Now, the Final 3 contestants have to stand before a jury of their peers. Something tells me this jury consists of all the eliminated contestants.
Seriously, if the Final 3 did not include Megan then Whiteboy would be the one to go because people hate him more than Hoopz or Real. But since Megan is here, she will be the one to go because there are way too many people in that jury who will simply not allow her to continue on.

The Final 2

Now that leaves us with Whiteboy and Hoopz as the Final 2. In the TV preview, Whiteboy is seen running around outside for something and I assume that it is part of the final challenge. I think Hoopz is in the final 2 just because nobody wants to eliminate her.

One more thing to think about, during those final minutes between the end of the final challenge and the announcement of the winner, listen to the words of the final 2 contestants. In most instances, the winner is usually the person who is the least confident about winning.

I Love Money Reunion First Look

Brandi and Megan at the I Love Money Reunion.jpg

Can’t swear to it, but this probably is a picture from the ‘I Love Money Reunion’.
Can’t believe Megan pops-up -and out- in a red bikini…then again, I can.

And what’s up with Brandi C looking like she’s pregnant with Megan’s baby?
