This week on I Love Money 2, payback and karma are both awfully bitchy. Hold onto your hats!
We open to the Green Team talking strategy. The Entertainer thinks they could throw the next challenge and eliminate Myammee, but they should win today and eliminate Tailor Made. Then he calls Tailor Made a snake about 55,000 times, which doesn't grate on my nerves at all. At least if you play a drinking game with this at home, you can be wasteyfaced when the show hits the two-minute mark!
Elsewhere in the house, the TMA prepares for the upcoming challenge. Prancer even has a costume, although really it just makes me feel sad for her boobs.
Saaphyri and It are notably absent from all the morning activities, and we come to find out it's because they're doing each other, ughghgh. It tells us in confessional that he's making an alliance with her, but not a real one - just a love alliance. Basically he's orchestrating the grossest showmance ever, for which you have to give him some credit, but...I'd rather not. He proves his love for Saaphyri by announcing that he has to fart, and then dutchovens for her pleasure. The clearest memory I have of I Love Money 1 is when The Entertainer told Destiney he was holding in a fart for her, so at least It understands this show's motifs.
Craig's picture summons the cast downstairs. His picture hopes their spirits haven't dropped, and it wants to see how well the teams can work together in today's challenge. Each team must pick a captain and then check the front door for a team letter. The Entertainer wisely picks up on the keyword of "drop" in the challenge deets, whereas Angelique picks up on the mention of "bathing suits." I'm sure she's onto something there! It remarks on the challenge, too, but only in circus noises that cannot be transcribed.
The Gold Team sits down to vote, but Buckwild says, "Naw, dude, that shit's done. I'm the captain." She barely opens her eyes as she says it, such is her level of excitement for this day! The TMA decides to revote, so they settle on Tailor Made as captain. Buckwild and 20 Pack don't protest, probably because they were going to throw this thing either way. Who cares about the semantics? The TMA heads upstairs to shit-talk, so they discuss whom they'll send home. Prancer hates everyone for different reasons, so she doesn't really care who's in the box. Ice mockingly suggests It, but Tailor Made thinks they can convert him. I'm sure It has done a lot of thinking about this already, being a philosopher and all.
Saaphyri and Tailor Made head outside to collect the team letters, so I guess that means Saaphyri's the captain for the Green Team! The letters tell them to write down the two most trustworthy members of their team, which is pretty much cake for Tailor Made. It's harder for Saaphyri, so she doesn't tell us what she wrote. I will assume she wrote her own name, for simplicity's sake and because she probably did.
With that, everyone heads off to the challenge. They're greeted by some kind of sex device.
The challenge looks very similar to last year's Stripper Pole Slutoff (that was the technical name, I'm sure), where everyone dangled from poles and The Entertainer fell to his demise. We can only hope history will repeat! He's immediately terrified, which is enjoyable to say the least. Craig introduces the challenge by saying everyone on this show has lied at least once during their VH1 career, and he has some video proof. We're treated to a clip of Ice lying to Flavor Flav over whether or not she dissed him in a radio interview.
Here's something no one else would ever care enough to notice! This radio station where Ice is supposedly having an interview? That's a 1970s TV show, WKRP in Cincinnati, which is where my recap name comes from! The show is about a radio station, and it is kind of my friggin' life, but alas it is not a real radio station. This clip is blatantly fake and oh my God, do I ever love catching them on things like this! I also love typos, so word 'em up, VH1: learn yo geogrophee and yo Google. For real, could they not have looked up an actual radio station? Fake things well, VH1! Learn from your contestants!

I'm fairly sure that VH1 used WKRP as the radio station because they didn't want to give some station free advertisement. Especially since one of their employees joined the show under false pretenses. It isn't like EVERYONE doesn't know that WKRP is fake.
And It is putting on an act. I mentioned in the comments several weeks ago that he is a stand up comedian. Go look him up on You Tube. There are a few videos of him doing public appearances and radio interviews. He has the It character in place most of the time, but when he is rapping, his annunciation is perfect. Totally an act.

im going to have to disagree and say that the most disgusting showmance ever is buckwild + the entertainer

U know on the bonus clips, they show buckwild giving the entertainer a condom and she's talking to him on the phone saying "Don't leave Mexico so on her day off they can have sex" ewwww!!!
Last season I called Hoopz the winner on the 1st episode, I don't know about this group. I still want It might win, I don't care if he's putting on act I like him.

I liked when TM was telling the others that Saaphyri did as well as he did climbing and then the producers showed in a clip that she went quite a bit higher that he did.
The power switch added a nice twist to the game and TM may not have balls but he has shown that he has more brains than The Entertainer, Saaphyri and Buckwild.
I don't think the TMA would have won if the rules of the challenge did not allow him to pick his helpers. I think the show producers were giving him his chance to send The Entertainer home. That way they can bring him back for I love Money 3.

You know a rope broke during one of these stupid challenges. A rope BROKE.
It's bad enough they were flailing chickens at them the other week, without giving them any protective padding.
Not only that, but there's the real and present danger of who knows how many STDs crawling about in that house.
This is a far more dangerous show than Survivor.

Hi all you money lovers!
I may be the lone wail in the wilderness, but I actually loved Frank! I thought he was hilarious and made the show fun to watch. Now, Becky "Buckwild" will provide my fun. Tailor Made is no where near as entertaining as "The Entertainer", and I think his longevity on these "reality shows" is just about up. So I raise a glass to Frank for making my Monday nights worth living for--at least its not in his mom's basement! Good Night Sweet Frank, We hardly knew ye.
XOXO

Yeah I liked Frank too, but I did like how the head alliance is now being controlled by Tailor Made. For me this season is way more interesting than last season. IT for the win!!!

Yes, even though it was a good game twist I like The entertainer and can not stand TM. I would have been happier with Saaphyri going home instead of Frank.

The Entertainer is an excellent tv character -- I wonder if he acts like that all the time though.
Sort of like I believe It is all an act too.
I can definitely see the Entertainer being developed into a sitcom character though. Sort of an enraged Seinfeld.

I for one am sooo happy that Frank is gone!
That dude was annoying. Okay...the yelling was funny when it was the one line "I LOOOVE MONEY!!!" but then it was..."TAILOR MADE IS A SNAKE!!!" then..."MY ASS ITCHES!!!" then..."I NEED TOILET PAPER!!!" then..."ANYBODY SEEN THE REMOTE?!!!!" It's like, go to sleep already you jag off!
But this week's ep rocked cause the blue haired, big nosed, big moufed fragle cried big ass crocodile tears. AHAHAHA! And I finally learned the correct pronunciation of Saaphyri's name. Seriously...I always thought it was Safari. But I guess it's Sa-Fire-ree. Right?
Ah. Who Cares. She's ugly. Ugly people don't matter anyway. Right, Buckwild? Ahahahahaha!

I would have to agree with the anonymous person. The only reason why I was watching I love money 2 was because of Entertainer. He kept the show going because he is so crazy and always has something up his sleeve. Buckwild was even crazier when he was there. I like her to. I stopped watching once he got the boot and from Taylor Maid he is so boring and you just want to jump through the TV and tell him have you looked in the mirror you are just nasty and annoying and just a pain. They lost a good person when the the Entertainer left his name does fit his personality so much

Snootchy Bootches: I will agree to disagree with you on the first part! I don't think most people have ANY idea what a WKRP is, let alone 99% of people within VH1's target audience (and I say this as a 21-year-old, so I ain't hatin'). Ice has always maintained that she wasn't talking to a radio station, so I felt like this was so much proof that she was right, it was all a lie. Also, re: It -- gah!
itchy: Right?! This show is twice as dangerous, for so much less of a reward -- which is the joy of VH1, I suppose.
nyc cookie: Don't you worry, I bet Frank will have his own reality show soon enough! How can he not, you know? I tend to prefer the dude-looking-for-love dating shows over the "Daisy of Love" and "I Love New York"'s, but I don't know if I'd have the stomach for that one.
uglycutie: I LOVE YOU. And yes, it's Sa-Fire-ree, although a commenter earlier this season said her real name is Wanda. The fact that she CHOSE Saaphyri kind of completes my life.
Anonymous: Dude, that is AMAZING, thank you for sharing!! Whether he's an asshole or not, I do love me a good celebrity sighting!
