VH1's I Love Money 2 - Episode 9
Tailor Made Wins the Challenge, Cali is Eliminated and Sent Home!
Mar 31, 2009
In the previous episode of VH1's reality series I Love Money 2, the Gold Team wins the last team challenge, which makes Tailor Made the paymaster.
In the vault, Saaphyri is forced to vote against The Entertainer in order to save herself and It, the object of her affections. Ultimately, the Green Team is unable to decide who to nominate for elimination within the 15-minute time limit and this puts Tailor Made in charge; he nominates Frank The Entertainer, Saaphyri and Angelique - the three strongest players on the Green Team and on the opposing alliance.
In the end, Tailor Made decides to eliminate his primary rival, Frank The Entertainer. The Entertainer is subsequently sent home to return to living in his parent's basement.
What Happens on Episode Nine of I Love Money 2?
The ninth episode of I Love Money 2 marks the first episode where teams have been dissolved and the I Love Money 2 cast begins competing individually for the $250,000 prize.
The challenge? The I Love Money 2 cast members are each assigned two life-sized mannequins that are arranged in a large group. The cast members must run over to the life-size models, pick a mannequin, run with it to the roadside, and throw the mannequin into a bulls eye-type target area where it will get run over by a bus.
If the competitor successfully throws a mannequin under the bus, the cast member who was represented by that mannequin loses one of their two mannequins. If the bus passes before the cast member can throw the mannequin into the target area, or if the mannequin lands outside the target area, then one of the cast member's own mannequins is eliminated.
Once an I Love Money 2 cast members two mannequins are eliminated, that person is removed from the competition.
The dead-last loser -- the member of the cast whose two mannequins are eliminated first -- will automatically be nominated for elimination. In this case, it's Cali who is the first to lose her two mannequins.
One by one, the I Love Money 2 cast's mannequins are eliminated until only counter alliance members Ice, Prancer and Tailor Made remain. Ice is the next to be removed from the competition until it's down between Tailor Made and Prancer. Despite Tailor Made's clear lack of athleticism and humorous run, the counter alliance leader wins the challenge, making him paymaster for a second consecutive episode.
The Elimination - Who Gets Sent Home on I Love Money 2?
Prior to the vote in the vault to determine who will join Cali as nominees for elimination, Cali tries to strike a deal with Tailor Made and his counter alliance. Tailor Made urges Cali to withhold her vote all together or vote for a member of her own alliance; if she does this, Tailor Made says he'll spare Cali from elimination.
But in the vault, Cali makes a poor last-minute decision and votes to nominate Myammee and It for elimination. It's an odd choice on Cali's part because both It and Myammee are members of Tailor Made's counter alliance, thereby making him very unlikely to eliminate them.
Cali attempts to convince Tailor Made to keep her in the game by offering to join Tailor Made's counter alliance along with 20-Pack, one of the physically strongest I Love Money cast members.
In the end, Cali's decision to go back on her word shows that she's unreliable and has little worth as a member of Tailor Made's counter alliance. During the elimination ceremony, it comes down to Cali and It. Tailor Made summons Prancer an lets her send Cali home, as it was Prancer who had saved Cali when she was previously nominated for elimination.
So It and Myammee remain on the I Love Money cast, while Cali is eliminated on the ninth episode.
