VH1's I Love Money 2 - Episode 12

Wondering Who Gets Eliminated? Paymaster Saaphyri Eliminates Ice

Apr 21, 2009

Alliances dissolve and back stabbing begins among the remaining I Love Money 2 cast. Saaphyri wins the challenge; Prancer, Ice and It are up for elimination.

In the previous episode of VH1's reality television series I Love Money 2, 20 Pack knocks himself out of the running in the "Loud Mouth" challenge; this places 20 Pack's check in the strongbox, as the "dead last loser."

Paymaster Myammee eliminates 20 Pack and sends him home despite the agreement that was made with Tailor Made and his fellow counter alliance members - Ice, Prancer, It and Myammee.

Myammee's decision to eliminate 20 Pack is particularly disturbing to Tailor Made for two reasons. Firstly, Tailor Made realizes that 20 Pack will sit on the jury of I Love Money losers who will ultimately decide the final two competitors and as the perceived leader of the counter alliance, Tailor Made realizes that 20 Pack will hold him responsible for failing to uphold the agreement.

With just seven I Love Money cast members remaining, it's a pivotal time in terms of strategy, as alliances begin to crumble and secret alliances are formed.

Just two members of the original alliance remain: Saaphyri and Angelique. Five members of the counter alliance that was led by Tailor Made remain in the game: Tailor Made, Myammee, It, Prancer and Ice.

Prancer, Ice and Myammee have formed a secret alliance — the "Pretty Girl Alliance" or "PGA" — within Tailor Made's counter alliance.

Meanwhile, Saaphyri and It have entered into an informal alliance due to the fact that they've been engaged in a physical relationship during their time in the I Love Money 2 house in Hualtuco, Mexico.

Saaphyri and Angelique (a.k.a. "Frenchy") are also still allies. They realize that if they are to stay in the game, either Frenchy or Angelique must win the challenge, thereby becoming paymaster. Otherwise, Saaphyri and Frenchy would most certainly be nominated for elimination since they're dramatically outnumbered by members of the counter alliance.

The Challenge and Voting in the Vault

The I Love Money challenge in episode 12 involved grasping life preservers suspended from a crane over the ocean. The "dead last loser" is It, who drops into the water first. One by one, the I Love Money cast members drop into the water until just two remain. It comes down to Saaphyri and Tailor Made; in the end, a determined Saaphyri holds on the longest, winning the challenge and becoming paymaster.

Saaphyri is gunning for Myammee, whom she's determined to eliminate, particularly following Myammee's remarks to Saaphyri during the previous episide's elimination ceremony.

Determined to get Myammee eliminated, Saaphyri approaches Tailor Made and tries to arrange for a vote that will get Myammee nominated for elimination. But in the end, Myammee escapes the chopping block by turning on her two allies — Prancer and Ice — and voting for them.

Saaphyri then has to decide between Prancer and Ice; It is in the clear because of his physical relationship with Saaphyri. Prancer is physically strong, and extremely intelligent and manipulative; she offers to do everything in her power to get Myammee and Tailor Made eliminated if Saaphyri keeps her in the game.

And then there's Ice, who is physically strong and moderately intelligent. But Ice would be less apt to help Saaphyri in her mission to eliminate Tailor Made and Myammee. In fact, Ice didn't vote for Myammee in the vault, even after she betrayed Ice and Prancer.

Ultimately, Saaphyri decides to send home Ice, keeping Prancer and It on the I Love Money 2 cast.

The next episode of I Love Money 2 will air on VH1 at 9:00 p.m. on Monday, April 27, 2009.
