VH1's I Love Money 2 - Episode 10
Buckwild is Sent Home and Eliminated by Alliance Member 20 Pack
Apr 14, 2009
In the previous episode of VH1's hit reality television show I Love Money 2, it's announced that the teams have been dissolved and the I Love Money 2 cast members begin competing individually for the $250,000 prize.
In the ninth episode of I Love Money 2, cast members took part in a challenge where each person had two mannequins; each member of the cast had to select another player's mannequin, which was then thrown into a target area where it was run over by a bus. If a cast member failed to throw another player's mannequin into the target by the time the bus arrived, then that player would lose one of their own mannequins.
Tailor Made won the challenge, making him paymaster. Cali is automatically nominated for elimination as the "dead last loser" of the challenge. Cali joins Myammee and It — both of whom are members of Tailor Made's counter alliance — as the nominees for elimination. In the end, Cali is sent home and eliminated.
What Happens on Episode 10 of I Love Money 2?
The tenth episode of I Love Money's second season features a bed hopping challenge. The reality show cast is presented with the following scenario: six beds (floating docks outfitted with headboards, a comfortor and pillows) are positioned in a row, extending away from a lake's shoreline. Each cast member has to retrieve the two money bags, located on the fourth bed and the last bed.
The challenge? The beds are spaced a couple yards apart, making it a challenge to jump from one bed to the next. If an I Love Money cast member falls into the water, that person must swim back to shore and try again. In addition, there is a five-minute time limit for the challenge and the "dead last loser" is automatically up for elimination.
20 Pack, far and away, performs the best at this challenge. His time for the course is an incredible 26 seconds, whereas most of the other cast members took more than 90 seconds to complete the challenge.
Tailor Made is, for a while, in a position to be the "dead last loser" due to his complete and utter lack of athleticism; but ultimately, it's Angelique — a.k.a. Frenchy — who ends up with the worst time. Angelique falls off the beds not once, but twice, and she's forced to swim back to shore. In the end, Frenchy is disqualified when she reaches the five-minute time limit.
Who Gets Eliminated and Sent Home on I Love Money?
The remaining members of the original alliance — 20 Pack, Frenchy, Saaphyri and Buckwild — are in trouble going into the vault to vote on who to nominate for elimination because they are outnumbered by the members of Tailor Made's counter alliance.
Buckwild and Saaphyri make tremendous efforts to avoid getting picked for elimination. The friends try to stall in the vault, because if the 15-minute time limit is reached, paymaster 20 Pack gets to decide who will join Frenchy as nominees for elimination. But this stalling strategy does not work because the show's host Craig steps in. Saarphyri even fakes a faint, but the clock is stopped until she "recovers."
In the end, Buckwild and Saarphyri's efforts are in vain; 20 Pack is the paymaster and he's forced to send home one of his three fellow alliance members: Frenchy, Buckwild or Saaphyri.
In deciding who to send home, Frenchy and Saaphyri are both "safe" due to debts; they've both saved 20 Pack in the past. Ultimately, 20 Pack decides to send Buckwild home; a move that enrages Saaphyri.
Notably, 20 Pack's decision to send Buckwild home is, in part, fueled by an agreement with Tailor Made and his alliance: Send Buckwild home and 20 Pack will be safe if he's nominated for elimination after the next challenge. It's an agreement that becomes extremely significant in the next episode of I Love Money.
