I recapped the whole first season of I Love Money, OK? I paid my dues. The thing is, for a show full of half-literate, alcoholic attention clowns, this show is kind of complicated. First there are the challenges, which are self-referential and require a fair amount of Celebreality knowledge just to understand the rules. Same with the contestants. Like any non-meritocratic elimination challenge show worth its weight in hokey tribal face-paint, alliances form, but on this show the alliances form according to pre-structured relationships depending on what shows the contestants come from. It’s like a Real World Road Rules Inferno Island challenge, if no one had been to college (or graduated high school) and everyone saw this as their last chance at making it before they resign to killing themselves. It’s not that I don’t want to write about this show, it’s just that THERE’S ONLY SO MUCH TIME IN THE DAY.
Season 2 is about to begin, though, and there’s a trailer for it after the jump.
Have fun. I’m sorry I can’t go on this adventure with you. (Recaps? Where this show is going it doesn’t need any recaps!) Say hi to Tailor Made for me.

*sniff* This is the saddest news I’ve heard all day. I typically hate you, Gabe, but I always looked forward to your celebreality recaps. Promise me you won’t pull this when Pick-Up Artist 3 rolls around.
First you don’t recap possibly the most homolicious episode of Bromance and now you’re not going to recap one of the best (worst) shows on VH1! What have you become, Gabe?
I’m still waiting for my Tool Academy recaps.
FINE. Don’t cover it, see if I care.

Who J. Whoson?
I’m glad you came to you senses Gabe. There is only so much crap you can watch for comedy sake before you lose it. Use that time to do something good and uplifting.
Can’t say I blame you. I watched the first episode (having never seen any of these clowns or their other shows before) and honestly it was the worst pile of shit ever. And that’s from someone who enjoys True Beauty and Tool Academy. Normally, I just loathe the contestants on these shows. But these asshats gave me a visceral pain in my stomach that could only be relieved by copious amounts of vodka, and a strong desire to get that hour and a half of my life back.
