VH1’s I Love Money does a tremendous job stretching a good half-hour worth of footage into a full blown hour.
This week’s installation was chalk full of awesome sound effects–like when The Entertainer removed his sunglasses & there was a sound to accompany it for dramatic affect. That’s some serious drama people. Hilarious! Little things like that make this show…
Or, wait…maybe it’s actually that and the chicks in bikinis.
The plot thickened with this episode when it was revealed that the team members had to choose another team captain; and, also with each challenge a new person will be picked for team captain. One person cannot be captain twice in a row. Being captain has its perks, because if you’re on the winning team, you actually pick who goes home from the loosing team. HMMM… how very RR/RW Challenge of them.
After a session of jousts with giant Q-tips on a “bed” suspended above the ocean, the Green team was victorious, with Mr. Boston winning the last battle and clinching the victory for his team. Cra-zy!
Outcome: Pumpkin and Toastee plot and Nibblz is sent home. Sidenote: Can I just say Pumpkin has packed on the pounds? Anyhow, I predict that Toastee is next to go, and Brandi C and Megan are not too far behind! But I digress.
VH1 does a great job of inserting interview clips and reactions from players to stretch out a scene that could play out on its own in less than a minute. They also get good use out of their slow mo replay button. All this effort makes for a long hour, but I did laugh out loud a few times so I applaud– job well done!
Ugh! Yes, I hate myself for loving this!
I can already see the producers foreshadowing some romances that are going to come up later in the series, because it wouldn’t be celebreality without make out sessions and broken hearts! Dang, I cant wait!!! I think it is going to be juicy and drama filled. I know VH1 wont let me down. They don’t hype up the challenges too much, because they know everyone tunes in for the drama and skanks. It’s the bread and butter!
You too can keep abreast of the winners, losers, and those who had to ‘bounce,’ as the host Craig Jackson says, by going here.
I will continue to watch, self loath, & bring you updates, so you don’t have to!
