I Love Money Episode 2: “Acting” at its Finest

July 14, 2008 - 11:30 am By Kelly - UMass

So, eager to see the new challenge in store, I sat on my couch last night with a bag of popcorn, tuning in to episode 2 of I Love Money. With Midget Mac out of the picture, the female bashing has subdued a bit, but that doesn’t mean drama wasn’t in full force on last night’s episode.

First off, the challenge consisted of going up on a bed-like crane structure, above water and battling it out one-on-one with pogo-peg sticks, used to pummel each other in the head and body. Rodeo and Destiny were team captains, making it a huge bitch fest when it came to picking five people for each team to battle each other.

Rodeo’s gold team lost to Destiny’s Green Team, but not after Mr. Boston beat the crap out of Nibblz, claiming that he was so excited to have this “sexual experience” of wrestling a girl in a bed, 50 feet in the air.

My favorite part of the episode however, was when the teams had to pick out the three weakest people and Destiny – being the team captain of the winning team – got to decide who to eliminate, but not before taking out the three weakest players: Nibblz, Toasty and Pumkin, out to a Mexican fiesta lunch.

Toasty and Pumkin – television’s two classiest ladies (the porn star and award winning spitter) formed an alliance before the luncheon to convince Destiny that, because they’re weaker competitors than Nibblz, to keep them in the game and kick Nibblz to the curb. Plus, as Toasty said regarding Nibblz getting her kicked off Flavor of Love for her porn activities, “payback’s a bitch.”

The four girls talked, (drank, obvi), ate and danced, while plotting their scheme to stay in the house. Toasty faked an ankle injury and Pumpkin cried to Destiny about an eating disorder. Nibblz didn’t feed into the game and, just as the others predicted, was sent packin’. Regardless of the way it happened, considering Nibblz was the one to lose the game for them after all her trash talking about kicking Mr. Boston’s ass, she was the right person to send home.

Looking forward to watch next week which starts off with The Entertainer telling dumb-bo Megan to take a hike, bikini and all. Not to mention, the little love triangle between Destiny, – America’s favorite groupie – Heat and The Entertainer.
