Real Chance of Love


If nothing else, you've GOT to give VH1 props for dripping every last drop out of a TV franchise that they possibly can. I'm almost impressed.
First there was just "Surreal Life," then "Strange Love," then "Flavor of Love," and the list goes on and on. The newest spin-off will star none other than Chance and Real of "I Love New York" and "I Love Money" fame. They'll get their chance for love and date 15 beauties.
LOL. Just the idea of more of the "Stallionaires" tickles me. Will I tune in? I'm ashamed to say I will. Who could miss it? Maybe Real will propose again. I'm sure he still has the ring he offered to Hoopz. I wish him better luck this time, and I hope Chance ... well, there's no hope for him, which makes him sooo funny. LOL. Who are these chicks that want to date these dudes? I've gotta watch.
Will you?

I Want to Work for Diddy: Good-Bye to Brianna



This episode was offensive to the transgendered and overweight, but Laverne and Boris, members of the Uptown team, won the challenge, so they probably don't care.

It was Brianna who ended up going home. It was her lack of leadership that brought about her elimination. She was the producer for a viral video her team created, but she didn't lead and admittedly, she didn't know what she was doing. So, she was kicked off the show.

However, I think Red should have gone home. I cannot stand his voice, and the way he stumbles over his words would probably irk Diddy as much as it does me. Diddy doesn't seem like the type to have lots of patience. Anyway, the teams meet Diddy next week, and the Downtowners get to steal someone from the Uptown team. Drama! LOL.

Who should have gone home? Was Mike offensive to Laverne? Is Boris really an idiot? Who will Diddy chew out first?

I Love Money: The Entertainer Misses the Point



On Sunday's, "I Love Money," the Entertainer becomes team captain and ends up with the power to nominate three people from the opposite team to go home. He ends up voting off one of the stronger opponents, but for a while there, he had viewers scratching their heads.

Instead of nominating three strong players and thinking strategically, Entertainer obviously voted based on emotion. Let's see. He nominated Heather because she's an alleged trouble maker. He nominated Heat because the Entertainer considers him romantic competition. No one really knows why he nominated Mr. Boston, who made himself throw up to prove he's the weakest guy on his team.

I think Entertainer missed the fact that eliminations are a time to get rid of those who threaten his chance at $250,000. His decision to nominate Mr. Boston and Heather may come back to haunt him at some point.

What do you think?

I won't comment on the weird kissing challenge, but I do think Chance should go home next.

Who's playing the game the best? Should Entertainer be team captain again? Who would you kiss for $250,000? On second thought, don't answer that last question. LOL.

I Love Money: I Love Manipulation?



I wasn't planning to do a weekly blog for "I Love Money," but after last night's display, I feel compelled.

What was presented was probably one of the greatest examples of manipulation ever seen on the tube.

After being deemed the weakest links on their team and having their team members throw them into the elimination pool, Pumkin and Toastee lie and scheme to stay on the show. It was shameful, or at least, it would be ... if these women had any shame.

Pumkin lies about an eating disorder, and Toastee fakes a sprained ankle. Their strategy? The two wanted to seem as weak as possible, so the opposing team would keep them in the game. It worked, but how low do you go? Yes, $250,000 was on the line, but Nibblz took the high road. She was also up for elimination, but she didn't lie. She didn't kiss up. She didn't sell herself short.

Was that the right way to go? She's at home, while her two team members still have a shot at a quarter of a million dollars. What would you have done? Did the gruesome twosome go too far, or were they simply playing the game?

I Love Money

VH1 knows how to milk it for all it's worth. They've built franchises of their celebreality shows and turned the participants into household names ... well, some households, definitely not all.

Anyway, "I Love Money" premiered Sunday night. This show brings together the former contestants of "Rock of Love," Flavor of Love" and "I Love New York."

The show is similar to the "Real World/Road Rules" challenges where teams are competing for money. In the first episode, team leaders were determined and the group was divided into the Gold and Green teams.

Also, in the first episode, Midget Mac -- a reject from "I Love New York" -- was eliminated. As his name suggests, he's a little person. However, his big pride was his downfall. The hopefuls were required to wear bikinis and enter a chamber to collect as much cash as possible. Mac refused to wear the outfit, and his display of "sportsmanship" sent him home.

Did you watch? Should Midget Mac have been sent home? Chance failed to participate, as well. Why is he still around? Are you tired of these so-called celebrities yet? Talk about it.
