I Love Money 4

Maybe they will do a new show like I Love Money? I always think the challenge shows are more interesting than the real reality show itself.

Thanks so much for that, Bacchus! I was looking for that for a while after it disappeared off the blog. I think they put it up just before the show and remove it about after the show, I think they will do that every week. "VH1 is airing the show as part of an ongoing test of programming ideas." --- And what may these be? And as for them tweaking the series, lol it didnt seem like it to me! They showed MWAM flash backs and even included all the ****** stuff like Mamacita spreading eagle. If I recall correctly, a VH1 spokesman said that there is no talk now on ILM5 too. The blog said its the final season, but I honestly think that they are testing to see if people will still watch these shows, and that VH1 may be looking to go back to its Of Love franchise and start more spin off shows similar to I Love Money. If this is really big they may do ILM5, I think its just the fact that VH1 DOESNT want to... but they may have to go back to these shows. I'm not complaining though. Again, thanks for that Bacchus.

Well, I won't be watching any of their new shows on "The Night." Pitiful. Do they ever stop and realize they're doing a reality show on Fantasia? Seriously, she was NEVER even a big star. People can say well, Flav and Bret weren't celebrities either, but that's false. Poison and NWA are much bigger pop culture icons than Lametasia. I'm hoping they reinvent the Of Love series. And maybe bring back I Love Money with a different title and maybe a tweaked format. If not, peace VH1, it's been real.

Mamacita was a ***** ******. Who the hell was she to call out Marcia & Corn Fed? But the gutter snake was entertaining. And poor Cheezy. I wish they woulda sent home Punisher instead.

Mamacita and Marcia start having a back-to-back argument after Mamacita ***** during her talk with CJ about the money. 3. Mamacita and Alex had something going on even though it was wierd cause Mamacita was smacking his head. She was drunk! 4. Blonde Baller promised Cheezy he was going to be picked, but she also lied about it. Previews for Episode 2: "I Love Brittanya" - Chi Chi is arguing with Brittanya because of the love affair she has with 20 Pack. - Chi Chi tells Brittanya that she is going home or either 20 Pack is going home. - The next challenge is called "Taste the Kiss" were competitors have to kiss each other in the mouth telling CJ what their teammates have inside their mouth .

Rating? I've tried searching but found myself empty handed.

I assume the next challenge is about the moment when Bret Michaels kisses Marcia after she threw up on Rock of Love Bus. Remember how he said it tasted like tequila, doritoes, and something else familiar lol.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;208348]Chances are we'll never see the ratings. They put it outside of primetime for a reason...[/QUOTE] Makes sense I was just curious that's all.

This seemed like kind of a random time to show it. I haven't seen any commercials, or even seen that much on Vevmo, and I was just flipping through the channels and randomly found it. Glad they're finally showing it, I've been missing ILM!

Didn't that stupid Vh1 show Secrets of Aspen air at the same time as I Love Money? I remember it was a huge dud & I saw the ratings for that.

Well I doubt Vh1 will ever release them. The only attempt to let people know about the show failed:/. ILM4 wasent trending or in the top trends last night.

Ahh it sucks that this is going to be the official last season of ILM. This show was the best thing that happened to that network! Now Vh1 is stuck airing boring *** shows like Ochocinco's and Fantashia's shows. Its hard to even watch those shows they suck so bad. The days of Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, Real Chance of Love, I Love New York, Charm School and I Love Money are over and its a tragedy because those shows were awesome!!!! They need to make another show like I Love Money using the characters from these shows!!! Or I'd Settle for a Charm School 4 with Real Chance of Love 2 girls and Flavor of Love 3 girls.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;208348]Chances are we'll never see the ratings. They put it outside of primetime for a reason...[/QUOTE] Theres only one guy who will get the ratings that I know of. Robert on tvbythenumbers.com. But people will need to email him and ask him to post the ratings. He receives the ratings on Tuesday so people should email him on Monday asking him to post them when he gets them. He probably wont post them unless at least 5-10 people ask for it.

I don't understand why the title sequence was different. Did they just not put the effort into the graphics like the previous seasons or was there some reason for the use of old promo pictures? Other than that, I didn't see any 'weird editing.'

[QUOTE=XxJulieCxX;208361]Well I doubt Vh1 will ever release them. The only attempt to let people know about the show failed:/. ILM4 wasent trending or in the top trends last night.[/QUOTE] Agreed. They don't want to prolong the failure. There will not be a press release and I doubt we will see the ratings. Honestly, I don't think fans of the show really want to see the ratings either, being no one even knew the show was airing...

[QUOTE=CRM814;208283] I'm hoping they reinvent the Of Love series. And maybe bring back I Love Money with a different title and maybe a tweaked format. If not, peace VH1, it's been real.[/QUOTE] They did reinvent it....aka that ****** boring show with Ochocinco. Notice how much attention that show got around the internet? None.

Ochocinco: Ultimate Catch was one of the worst shows in VH1 history. Secrets of Aspen was better than that foolishness.

[QUOTE=Bacchus;208403]Agreed. They don't want to prolong the failure. There will not be a press release and I doubt we will see the ratings.

Most people I was surprised watched it.

XavierOfLove I seriously doubt the many people you know that watched are anywhere near a million. Still a 1.0 is no where near a good decent rating. Also what Bacchus meant was only super fans who bother to come online to look up there favorite shows are the only ones who knew about it even airing. We werent even able to make ILM a trending topic Thursday night. RW:NOLA was trending topics on Twitter a few times and there average ratings were in the low 2.0's. ILM must of been in the low thousands of viewers.

^ It almost trended. It was getting about 900 - 1000 tweets per hour, but to trend it needed 1200 an hour. So it was pretty close.

But anyway, ratings wont matter anyway. VH1 knows it wont get ratings. They didnt promote it and they only ever mentioned it was airing TEN minutes before it aired on the VH1 blog. So VH1 isnt expecting anything spectacular, in my opinion they are just testing to see if their old fans are there.

Well, Vh1 needs to know that the fans are here, but only if they have entertaining shows. Not the crap they have on now. Once ILM ends, I'm gone from Vh1 for good.

Their blog post on ILM4 is the most comments they have gotten ALL year. Plus, they keep deleting comments for some stupid reason, which arent even bad. They are like "Yay, Im so happy for ILM4" and they delete it. Not sure why. But if nothing was deleted there about have been 50-60 comments on it by now which is by far more than any of their blog posts all year.

I'll probably stick around until ILM gets boring (which it always does) and then come back for Celebrity Rehab :)

Also its not the least Vh1 can do either.....they could release the cast photos....

Just a quick question, and let me make it clear before I get infractions or warnings yet again, that I am not being confrontational or argumentative here. But my question is why do you continue to post in a thread of a show that you obviously have a problem with & the show's fans? I don't frequent threads related to The Real World because I have grown to dislike that show so I have no interest in posting or arguing with the fans the show still has. I thought you said you were going to leave us I Love Money fans to "daydream" we were much happier doing that. We are just happy the show is back plain & simple. I don't see what's so wrong about that. If you don't agree with our opinions as to why it's airing fine, but why should we fight about it?

Hes not fighting Xavier hes giving his opinion and contributing to the topic. If he was calling us stupid or name calling then thats another thing. I havent seen anything in his posts that has him putting down VH1 fans or those of us who watch ILM. You just take everything to heart not once have I heard Bacchus say anything negative all he has done is presented facts and backed up his opinions. We all have our right as members to speak our mind on certain shows as long as we keep it civil. He gave his opinions and backed up with facts(VH1 Blog) that there just running the show for tests. That VH1 has no intention in bringing ILM back proving Bacchus theory.
