Previously on I Love Money: A disturbing love triangle with Heat, Destiney Moore and The Entertainer emerged. Because Chance refused to kiss Mr. Boston, the Gold Team won and The Entertainer sent his rival for Destiney's affections home.

This week on I Love Money, the teams finally seem to have realized the best strategy is to make alliances with the other side, throw a challenge, and get someone you both hate voted off. 12 Pack convinces Brandi C., Megan Hauserman, Destiney and Mr. Boston to lose so that, as team captain, 12 Pack can eliminate Whiteboy.

This week's challenge involves catapulting and catching raw chickens. It's called the Chicken-a-Pult, though it seems to me the far more obvious pun would be Cata-Poultry. I guess either I'm smarter than the creators of this show or I just have a greater love of puns. Three team members are tasked with building the catapult, and Mr. Boston and Megan join Chance to sabotage as hard as they can. Meanwhile, 12 Pack, Toastee and Pumkin are a well-oiled machine and go off to a huge lead. The Green team starts to catch up, so Mr. Boston ups the sabotage by incorrectly placing the chickens in the catapult. After the carnage of seeing Rodeo hit in the face by a flying chicken, the Gold team finally wins.

To celebrate their victory, 12 Pack and Heather Chadwell make out on the table of raw chickens. Back at the house, the Stallionaires decide to haze Mr. Boston. Megan calls the pale Irishman “stupid and pathetic,” and Mr. Boston then enters the shower, occupied by Brandi C., completely naked. She is correctly disgusted. Whiteboy approaches Megan to form an alliance, and she decides to switch up.

At the vault, they call for a majority vote and the opinion is Brandi C., Destiney and Mr. Boston should go in. Mr. Boston is correctly livid and tries to hold on to his check, and after several warnings against physicality, the Stallionaires pry his check away and stuff it into the box. I absolutely hate this show and the stupid Stallionaires, because last week they wanted a majority vote, but when it came out against the Stallionaires, they someone turned it around to let the Gold team pick, but now, when their asses are on the line, majority vote is allowed. The Stallionaires are quite possibly the worst people out of all three shows represented on I Love Money, and that says a lot.

During the power outing, Mr. Boston cries a lot about being scared of Whiteboy and 12 Pack seems confident in eliminating Brandi C. because she's the one he trusts the least.

I Love Money Elimination Time! OK, this could redeem the episode. Brandi C., fearing elimination, throws Mr. Boston under the bus for throwing the competition, which really only serves to make the Stallionaires mad at him, not 12 Pack. Proving Megan is not the brainiest person in the world, her decision to switch alliances hits a speed bump when Brandi C. also names her as part of the conspiracy to throw the challenge and eliminate Whiteboy. It devolves into Brandi C. and Mr. Boston talking smack about the others' sexual abilities, which leaves everyone else in the house rolling on the floor in fits of laughter.

Finally, 12 Pack sends Mr. Boston home because Bradni C. is just deadweight on the other team. I Love Money just got a lot less funny.
