I Love Money 3: Episode 1

So the show starts out like any other episode - the players arrive and check out the house, just before they start checking out the competition. Strategizing starts almost immediately - Donald, the older heavy-set guy from Megan Wants a Millionaire tries to start an alliance almost immediately. He thinks that the weaker guys (and there are a lot this season) should band together to get rid of one of the stronger guys right up front.

The Nerd Alliance is formed - Donald manages to get Cheezy (I Love New York 2), Fox (Daisy of Love), Joe (MWAM), and possibly Flipper (DOL) on his side. They confront the girls to see if any of them want to be on their team. Most refuse - with the exception of Annie (Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair), who is the only to represent her show, as well as Bubbles (Real Chance of Love).

Ashley and Marcia (Rock of Love Bus) decide to form an alliance, as well, but just between the two of them. They overhear Pumkin and Red Oyster (Flavor of Love) talking alliance, as well, and decide that they'll wait for a few challenges to join forces against the other girls.

Mamasita (Real Chance of Love 2), sensing her lack of athleticism as a weakness, decides to flirt and sleep with Punisher (MWAM) in order to stay in the game. She says he has a good chance of winning challenges because of his size, and so she wants to be protected under his wing.

The first challenge comes - an athletic challenge in which the money-lovers must swim to the bottom of a pool and retrieve as many gold chains as they can.

Punisher and Punk are the victors of the challenge, retrieving seventeen gold chains each.



Its a tie - but because two team captains are needed, there is a coin toss to see who will go first in the draft.

The draft is as follows:

Punisher chooses Mr. Wise / Punk chooses Pretty


Punisher chooses Chi Chi / Punk chooses Fox


Punisher chooses Angelique / Punk chooses Pumkin


Punisher chooses Bootz / Punk chooses Red Oyster


Punisher chooses Joe / Punk chooses Cheezy


Punisher chooses Chardonnay / Punk chooses Marcia
'

Punisher chooses Ashley / Punk chooses Annie


Punisher chooses Mamacita / Punk chooses Bubbles


It finally comes down to Donald, Flipper, and Tiffany. Punisher and Punk know that one of the two guys started the Nerd Alliance, and they want to know who. Punisher chooses Tiffany and leaves the decision up to Punk. Flipper throws Donald under the bus by telling Punk and Punisher that he orchestrated the Nerd Alliance. Punk picks Flipper to be on his team, to everyone's surprise. Punisher says that he would have never chosen someone as back-stabbing as Flipper to be on his team. He wanted someone more neutral who doesn't have an agenda just yet - so he chose Tiffany.

Punisher chooses Tiffany / Punk chooses Flipper


DONALD OUT


So that's what happens in episode one! Hang on for episode 2!
