Update: Reality TV brilliance, if there is such a thing...

As previously reported, VH1 is taking their reality television programming to another level with "I Love Money," which pits former "Flavor of Love," "I Love New York" and "Rock of Love" contestants against each other in the quest for money--what they were actually on those shows for in the first place.

Now, the entire cast list has been announced, including:

Flavor of Love: Hoopz, Nibblz, Pumkin, Toasteee,
Rock of Love: Brandi C, Destiney, Heather, Megan, Rodeo,
I Love New York: 12-Pack, Chance, The Entertainer, Heat, Midget Mac, Mr. Boston, Real, Whiteboy


And a long "supertease" trailer has been released. These challenges are off the wall (a spitting contest inspired by Pumkin and some sort of chicken catapult??), the hook-ups look extremely underhanded and entertaining (Heather and 12-Pack, Real and Hoopz) and the 40-year-old Rodeo looks awkwardly out of place amongst the scantily clad youngsters.

More mindless television for me to get sucked into. God, I love it. "I Love Money" is set to premiere July 13 (with a casting special slated for July 6).

Yeahhhh Boyeeee!

So I've been really sick for the last two days and have spent the greater portion of the last 48 hours confined to bed. Fortunately for me--and I say that with complete sarcasm--the only thing on television this weekend and today was a marathon of all three seasons of "Flavor of Love."

Yes. Sadly enough, I watched 12 hours of Flavor Flav and his "Flavorettes" today and almost didn't hate it. All leading up to the season 3--and series--finale tonight, in which Flav was to decide between Thing 2 (below, left) and Black (below, right).

Because my brain is fried--both from the mind-numbing hours of "FOL" and the massive amount of medication I'm on--I won't even try to make this creative, but to report on reality television news that more than likely no one really cares about, here we go:

In a fashion similar to both "Rock of Love" and "Biggest Loser Couples" finales this year, a previously eliminated contestant went home with the prize, and in this case, it was FLAAAAVOR FLAAAAV.

The man, myth and legend selected one half of the set of twins cast this season (the thinner and better looking of the two, by the by). Thing 2, who had been eliminated two episodes before the finale, was brought back in a twist and it was pretty clear she was there to stay.

Good for them. Perhaps this one will work out, unlike Flav's first two "winners," but even if it doesn't, Flav has sworn off a "Flavor of Love:4."
