It sprawls out on the couch with several empty bottles of liquor, and he and Tailor Made prepare for the worst. Tailor Made thinks It is safe, but It points out it's his third time in the box. That worries Tailor Made. To be honest, I'm shocked he's been in there so few times, so I can't imagine why this has such a crazy effect on Tailor Made. It must be because he's a moron.
Time for eliminations! Myammee's lingerie is janky at best.
Angelique and It are both very worried about eliminations. Of the two, Angelique is able to vocalize her fears a little better, which is seriously saying something. Meanwhile, Saaphyri doesn't really care who goes home as long as it isn't her. She'll be slightly mad if it's It, but everyone has to go at some point, so it ain't no thang. It's a shame she didn't feel the same way when Buckwild got the boot lo those weeks ago.
Craig asks It to make a final statement. It reminds us of the first episode, when everyone had to say why they wanted the money. Apparently he wanted it for his grandfather who had six months to live, so he'd really like to make things better for Gramps. Of course, in confessional It tells us he doesn't even have a grandfather. That dude died years before It was born. Relatedly: I fucking hate It. Angelique says It has never mentioned Grandpa before, so that inspired me to check the week one recap. Indeed, It talked about wanting to open "a heavenly chicken wing spot." Have I mentioned I really hate It?
It talks for 17 more minutes, and then it's Angelique's turn. She didn't trust Prancer after Ye Olde Heat Betrayal, but now that Prancer's explained the situation, things are good. Angelique thinks she should stay since she's been loyal, while It has been a huge asshole. She promises to have Prancer's back next week if she stays. Saaphyri swears the same thing and then adds, "And I'm not strong!" just in case anyone forgot.
Craig asks for the first check recipient, so Prancer says it's for someone with whom she's had a rollercoaster relationship. That's Saaphyri! Saaphyri thanks Jesus and then Prancer, which seems appropriate. They pinkyswear as Saaphyri receives her check, as most grown-ass women do when celebrating an occasion.
Now it's down to Angelique and It. Prancer recognizes that Angelique is her biggest competition, but she really wants one of the guys out, so she has a hard choice ahead of her. She'd never really spoken to Angelique before today, but they have a lot in common, ie: interest in large boobies. Angelique gave her word that if Prancer keeps her, she'll help get rid of the boys, so that's why Prancer wants Angelique to come forward.
Prancer belives Angelique will be trustworthy, but at this point, the game isn't about alliances. She has to put herself in the best position to win, and that's why she has to void Angelique's check. It is safe! Angelique happily tells Prancer that karma's a bitch, so Prancer and It won't win the game. I'd probably give Angelique a hearty middle finger at that point, but whatevskies, Prancer's a better person than I am!
Angelique concludes she'd rather be sent home for who she is than who she's not, which really has nothing to do with this elimination ceremony. She wishes Saaphyri the best and then tells us she's off to have sex in Vegas. What a lucky town! Meanwhile, Prancer tells It she hopes he's as much of a loser as she thinks. Who can fault her for that?
Next week is the I Love Money 2 finale! There will be running, jumping, and weeping. Unfortunately that weeping might be on my behalf, since the finale features It speaking in a normal voice and not his usual retard tone. My heart, it aches.
What say you? Out of the final five, who do you think will pull this off? Leave your thoughts!

I keep falling behind on this show because...well... it's just not that interesting. None of the people remaining inspire me to care at all about whether they win.
But then the only contestant I actually sort of liked was Becky Buckwild. But she'd be much more interesting in an "of Love" situation.
So this show kind of gets pushed to my viewing schedule. Which is not as broad as you'd think. ;-p

It's like a marathon...we've come too far to turn back now, and while we're hating ourselves, we realize how much time we would've wasted if we don't see it through.

I was actually kinda rooting for Angelique. She really was a loyal and kind person compared to the other. Not to mention I loved her subtitles. (lion instead of aliance made me giggle everytime)

Apparently the key to being in the best position to win this game is being whoever I like least. At one point I had always hated Tailor Made the most and was hoping for 20 pack to win. Currently I would have hoped for Angelique to win and not minded Tailor Made if only because he played a good game. I felt Saaphyri pretty much sabotaged herself with her actions but felt that Prancer nor Myammee- especially Myammee did nothing to stay in the game and really her only saving grace was that she laid low and Tailor Made pretty much was the whole reason she made it at all in the game. So basically if anyone other than Myammee won (even It who although played a shady game still played with some kind of strategy) it wouldn't be so bad. After this episode I was rooting mostly for Tailor Made or even accepting of It just because both had a strategy that carried them through to the end whereas the others more or less were there because of Tailor Made.
