So yeah. We’re talking about this again.
In the case of I Love Money 4, this can be explained.
Either way, it became another season of I Love Money, so I might as well talk about it now before it pulls a Hills and springs a revival on us.
Let’s literally see how much more money VH1 can waste on a franchise before it loses all marketability. This is I Love Money 4!
Okay, let’s try this again. When you look back at VH1’s Celebreality era, the first thing you’re going to ask yourself is “How did we let this even happen?”
When it’s been a good VH1 reality show, it’s pretty enjoyable. But when it’s a bad VH1 reality show, it’s REALLY, REALLY BAD. I’ve tried to avoid so many of those as possible, but I’m also not a guy that passes up the easiest target. Thus, when I first talked about the first season of I Love Money, it was very easy for me to lose my temper. This not only tested my tolerance with the VH1’s formula, but it also called into question the fairness of reality television in general. It was like this show was solely designed to allow the advancement of the worst in humanity. By the time you finished the season, you wasted so much of your time to the point that you feel dumber. And my initial opinions on season 1 didn’t change in the slightest when I did a full recap on it for VH1 Month. However, I felt bad for my criticisms, because I wanted to root for this. I assumed it would do for VH1 what The Challenge did for MTV, not allow VH1 to give any inspiration to The Challenge for future concepts. Though you’re unlikely to find my individual episode recaps from Blogspot (if you do, good luck), I do remember what I said at the end of the season 1 finale recap that if they were to do a second season, my only hope was that they would do at least something different to avoid mental trauma for viewers. Well, lo and behold, I Love Money 2 premiered in early 2009. So the moment of truth came. Did they take my advice from 9 years ago? Considering the fact that it’s another VH1 reality show produced by those hacks at 51 Minds, I doubted it. But at the same time, after you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up. So against my better judgement, I took a look at this second season to find out for myself.
Now for this list, we’re only counting seasons from reality shows that had more than one season. So that means no one-season wonders.

Yes, Virginia. Turns out, there indeed was a VH1 dating show spinoff featuring Rock of Love 2/I Love Money 1/Rock of Love Charm School veteran Megan Hauserman.
This time, she had an accomplice. Ryan Jenkins, one of the contestants, was charged with the death of his wife/model, Jasmine Fiore, as the show was airing. She was found dead on August 15, 2009. 8 days later, Ryan Jenkins was found dead himself after committing suicide. As soon as the news broke, VH1 pulled the show after airing only 3 episodes, and to this day, they have gone out of their way to ensure that the remaining episodes are never viewed by anyone else. So VH1 is telling us that this person’s good, this person’s good, and this person’s good, while Ryan Jenkins is who they consider a threat to society. I’m going to repeat that one more time.
This person’s good
This person’s good
This person’s good
THREAT TO SOCIETY
I can only go through so many pairs of underwear in order to contain the shits I’ve been taking in fear of this recap.
Tragic news. Ahmad “Real” Givens, a member of the Stallionaires and one-half of the brother duo, Real and Chance, from shows like I Love New York, I Love Money, Real Chance of Love, and Real & Chance: The Legend Hunters, has passed away today after a long battle with colon cancer.
My name is Turk182 and this is Reality TV Guide, where we came to make everyone feel better about themselves. It’s day 7 of VH1 Month, and I need to make a phone call.
(Turk182 runs out the office to call his boss over the phone)
I’M NOT FUCKING RECAPPING I LOVE MONEY! I ALREADY FUCKING RECAPPED I LOVE MONEY 7 FUCKING YEARS AGO! I’M NOT FUCKING DOING IT AGAIN! I KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO FUCKING WATCH IT AGAIN, BUT JUST FUCKING TALKING ABOUT IT MAKES ME FUCKING MAD! SO IF I DON’T FUCKING RECAP IT, I’M A MOTHERFUCKING PUSSY? OKAY, I’LL FUCKING DO IT AGAIN, IF IT’S GOING TO KEEP THAT FUCKING SHOW FROM FUCKING BEATING ME!
(Turk182 stomps back into the office and resumes the recap)
This is season 1 of I Love Money.
I mean, this was the show where I reached my breaking point with VH1’s reality shows. This show’s only objective was to promote every form of douchebaggery in America. They took every goofy contestant from Flavor of Love, I Love New York, and Rock of Love to produce the biggest piece of Reality TV vomit. It was a terrible show then, and I don’t think my therapist could prepare me for this recap today. Let’s just get this recap started before I go off.
