I Love Money 2 Reunion

It's been so long ago but I'm not letting that stop me. After all as Sarah Palin was to Saturday Night Live so I Love Money 2 is to Thrill Fiction.

The Gang’s All Here

The cast and crew are all gussied up in their TV best but the (Exorcist inspired) set is missing a starlet.

Wanda Scott

Your parents give you a name. If you don’t like it you can change it.

Aka Saaphyri Windsor

‘Windsor’ is the name of the British royal family. Girl shame on you for naming yourself after that bunch of dysfunctional freeloaders.

Craig opens by throwing a cheap gag at It’s expense then he introduces Frenchie. You know, the subtitles aren’t funny now that they’re doing it to her face. Really. Craig is still making fun of her accent on her third reunion show.

Frenchie refuses to take offence. Her wit charm and joi de vivre win over all in the studio. She won me over in 207.

That shot of the audience doesn’t impress me though.

That guy should be put on a list. Makes me question my own viewing habits.

What’s the difference between a jilted lover and a stalker? A blogger and a studio audience member.

Or maybe a blogger is an online groupie.

I’m with the gang.

Craig’s still talking but he’s not worth listening to. I’ve bigged up this cat as a premier league game show host. I stand by my assertion but he’s a minor league talk show host.

Angelique exempts Myammee and Saaphyri and calls the rest of them snakes. Prancer on her pedestal takes offence.

“Do you think karma is the reason why your plastic

surgeon made you look like Wanda

from In Living Color?”

The obvious shot is the cheapest.

Frenchie lets rip.

This is Becky Buckwild’s contribution to modern culture: a rib concocted out of spite and jealousy gestating into something funny and born as a permalink onto Prancer’s forehead. Forever.

Prancer can’t rap. Frenchie the Foreigner who speaks in subtitles won that argument.

Argument.

In the Flavor of Love reunion New York faked going after Pumpkin. It wasn’t TV fake. It was face. New York had the chance to beat up Pumpkin during the show and blew it. Tiffany’s a gust of hot air. Hoopz called her out on it. Even Smokey tried to get in on the camera time and got thrown of set.

More arguments.

Flavor of Love 2 descended into near riot. Rock of Love 1 reunion had Lacey. Season 2 had Heather trying to kill Daisy. Charm School… You get the point.

At reunions the starlets have seen the broadcast edit and bad blood boils. What we’ve come to expect from these shows is dirty linen aired and scores being settled.

This reunion is missing Saaphyri.

Without her trailer trash Becky Buckwild actually compliments Buddha.

¿What?

She also humiliates her friend(?) Leilene.

Craig calls Leilene to the sofa. The longer this reunion goes on the worse he sounds. Snide comments from the host won’t make anyone laugh except the studio audience – if they can read the teleprompter.

Poor Leilene is still looking for love. She’s still stripping too. You better hurry up love. Good looks don’t last forever and an aging stripper is not a good look.

Leilene’s last beau (a Brit) wasn’t bothered that she was a stripper. He dumped her because he found out she was celebreality. As a gleeful Craig points out – a stripper is higher on the totem pole than a reality star.

Ouch!

As true as it may be why would a reality show highlight that?

Then again why not?

Leilene continues one of the reasons she likes Caliente is he has the Backstreet Boys on his ipod.

Ouch!

Buyer beware: Leilene will drop you in it while thinking she’s doing you a favour.

With Saaphyri being otherwise detained Buckwild needs another alpha male to latch onto.

It’s Frank’s turn to be ‘interviewed’. The Entertainer is one of the best reality prospects Vh1 has right now. Certainly he’s the best thing in the studio. So naturally Craig talks over him.

Random squealing from the audience.

This car is crashing.

Frank campaigns for his own show. Heat a natural follower wants one too. These guys were two of the funniest in the house yet this segment is so lame I have scant hopes for It.

Craig. Stay in Mexico and let LaLa do this job.

Make no mistake It had the best boost on this season even ahead of Tailor Made. These two either reinforced or overhauled their characters from I Love New York 2. It does his It. Craig interjects and asks Ice to chime in.

Don’t ask.

She calls It dumb. It’s amazing what a professional make over will do to an Ice(man). The bleach must be seeping into her brains.

That’s her on her best day.

At last the host mentions Saaphyri. Yes, It’s Mexican romance with a convicted felon.

“I flirted with all the girls in the house… I felt on

every girl’s ass… but Saaphyri was the only

girl that gave me play.”

“But she not here right now so… I got a thing for Cali.”

Tailor Made is not the most intelligent of all the players. I put him on a par with Prancer and beneath Saaphyri. He is however the best educated and it shows. Looking smart in a suit and speaking with articulate concision he explains strategy. So the rambling motor mouth Becky Buckwild heckles him.

Recall Frank and Heat campaigning for shows. Well shock horror Vh1. They show a clip of The Odd Couple – Tailor Made and It’s show can be caught on Youtube. It is good. Clichéd but funny and who doesn’t like It? Tailor announces they’re making a joint run for city council.

You’re glad you don’t live in New York. It’d be like the 70s all over again.

I almost forgot. Myammee won season 2.

My overriding memory of her is in the finale at the quiz section when she got one answer wrong and started arguing. First with Craig then with the quiz board.

But she does look a hell of good.

Re her lingerie.

“Were you trying to be like Megan from season one?”

“I’m not trying to be like anybody… Myammee is Myammee.”

Lying bitch. She already said she was in 201.

In any case she tells Craig what she’s going to do with all that money. She’s going to spend it on hair thereby saving the Indian subcontinent from starvation. It’s her foray into business – much like Saaphyri’s lip chap.

Oh dear.

I wish you all the best Myammee which unfortunately might mean the weave – like the permatan – is here to stay.

This season is a wrap. Lex did say this reunion was a let down but TFi won’t hold it against season 3.

Oh wait. Did anyone else notice? Where the hell is Tamara?

Daisy of Love 104

One of the concepts of celebrity - especially recording artists - is desirability. You see them you want to French meat them. Be it Patsy Kensit or Madonna (or Kelly Rowland). then you want to divorce them. Be you Liam Gallagher or Guy Ritchie.

You should have read the small print.

Monkey’s Paw

This weeks MVP

Because a peek behind the curtain will expose the magician as charlatan.

Morning and 12p is gleeful that 9 boys are left. He’s full of confidence. He ribs London about his hair. Note to 12p: in a house full of freaks you’re the weirdo.

Best friends Sinister and Chi Chi are irritable with each other. That’s what a girl can do – show you who your friends are.

Challenge time. As with all the object is to win a date with Daisy. As with last week it’s a variation of a Rock of Love challenge.

Lame.

They have to cover nursery rhymes.

6 Gauge London and Sinister are designated team captains because they’re all in bands back home. Commence with the schoolyard pick.

Does 6 Gauge think it’s an iron man contest?

Sinister shuns Chi Chi. It’s strategic. It’s spiteful.

Rehearsals over they head into The Knitting Factory.

Inappropriate?

There is however a budgetary logic to this; nursery rhymes are public domain.

“I feel like I’m in a transsexual biker

bar with all the make up and crap

these guys are wearing.”

You aint seen nothing yet.

London’s team – the Daisy Blades win.

So much for your strategy Sinister.

Let the dating begin.

The conversation strolls into a stuttering London. He doesn’t want to lie and he doesn’t want to be cagey. He reluctantly talks about his unfortunate living arrangements.

Uncomfortable.

Especially as Daisy doesn’t appear to be interested. She’s more interested in looking like a somebody.

“I personally had the Gibson showroom

shut down for you guys.”

Daisy Daisy. You couldn’t shut down your flaps.

A musician without an instrument is like a stripper in a sleeping bag. London had to sell his guitar to keep from starving so (regardless of the corporate sponsorship) he’s grateful for his gift.

Emotional honesty coupled with emotional intelligence has no place on television.

Daisy has noticed the cooling between Chi Chi and Sinister. She doesn’t want to come between two friends. Just by waking up in the morning a woman can come between father and son. Leave them to it Daisy. They’ll learn.

These lads are not antagonistic toward each other au contraire they’re complimentary. They seem like genuinely decent guys. Daisy chooses Cage for 1on1 time causing London to have a fit of emotional immaturity.

That’s more like it.

Alone with Daisy Cage bares his past. It’s tragic. Social Services tackle. Yet despite the abject horror of his childhood emerged a champion athlete.

Confiding your life to the woman you love is communion but if she doesn’t love you its kamikaze.

She’ll throw it in your face.

Dates over and it’s time to head back to the mansion. London’s still peeved. The limo ride ends with Daisy crying in her bedroom and London declaring he’s going home.

He’s not joking.

It’s like a Mexican soap opera.

Morning and 12p is full of confidence. He ribs Flex about his face. Daisy gathers them all together. Since Team Chip & Daisy wore make up at the challenge she sends them off with the Rat for a professional make over.

(Before)

Inside the mansion Daisy wants to play Truth or Dare.

“I’ve never played Truth or Dare

with 6 other guys.”

Thankfully it ends in tears and not a punch up. London storms off after another Daisy boo boo.

Methinks London is beginning to realise what he should have already known if he watched TV.

Daisy is a blithering idiot.

Bloggers and Bloggites. I have cracked the whore code. Daisy de la Hoya is American for Jodie Marsh.

In Flavor of Love Big Rick was a big hit. So Flav cut his lines in season 2 and 3. Brett learnt from this. Big John never had any lines. I Love New York was different. Sister Patterson was second billing – a genuine co-star.

The Rat has an advantage over all three prior sidekicks. He’s in the business. He’s been in the business for over 20 years. Yet while Sister Patterson flourished by bringing an added element to New York the Rat is nothing more than a flunky.

He doesn’t want to see Daisy hurt.

¿What?

A man devoid of charisma character and credibility.

Daisy seeks out London. She essentially begs him to stay and tells him she’s going to offer him a chain tonight.

The eliminations.

“I didn’t win the challenge that was a music

challenge. Daisy’s favouring a guy who wants

to leave and I’m starting to have a little

problem with Chi Chi. But…”

(After)

“You never want to see a guy that big

with nipple rings wearing a shirt like

that. I was scared for my life.”

Cage gets the first chain. It’s a sympathy vote buddy. Flex is beginning to realise 12p is a contender and Sinister is ever more jealous of Chi Chi.

She said she was going to offer London a chain.

He refuses it.

That’s four men now who have walked out since episode 2. In two seasons not a single man walked out on New York (was Pretty a man?). Vh1 should scrap any idea of a second season and greenlight ‘The A-Bomb of Love’. Until then read Ricky Robot’s musings on Charm School 3. It’s the best thing online bar the visual broadcast.

No one can pull my postings.

Next week on Daisy of Love:
