We recently reported that the contestants of various VH1 reality shows are being called back for yet another turn at love—or is it money?  This time, the contestants have been revealed, and a few of them happen to be some of the most memorable personalities on I Love New York.

VH1 gathered a total of 17 contestants from Rock of Love, I Love New York and Flavor of Love to compete in another wacky competition that will put $250,000 up for grabs.  The cast has been officially revealed, and we find that eight out of the 17 contenders are in fact I Love New York alums.

I Love Money will feature former New York contenders 12 Pack, Chance, The Entertainer, Heat, Midget Mac, Mr. Boston, Real and Whiteboy.

David Amerman, better known as 12 Pack from the first season of I Love New York, is a personal trainer and coach who is so active that he took on nine jobs all at once.  He also once dated the daughter of a mob boss who threatened his life.  On the first season of I Love New York, he was eliminated on the seventh episode, and is now back to show his love for money.

Kamal Givens, better known as Chance on the first season of I Love New York, is a music producer hailing from New York City.  He was one of the 20 contenders vying for the love of Tiffany "New York" Pollard, but was soon eliminated in the 11th episode of the reality dating series.  He once again joins his brother, Real to fight for his love of money.

The Entertainer is fresh off the second season of I Love New York, where he was recruited from the online application process.  Hailing from Congers, New York, he lives in his parents' basement and at the time was training to be a UPS truck driver.  He enjoys singing to entertain people, and also volunteers to help children with Down Syndrome.  Despite being in the Mr. Hot category online, The Entertainer wasn't able to win New York's heart.  Nonetheless, he's back for another round of reality competition, this time for the love of money.

Jason Rosell is better known as Heat on the first season of I Love New York.  He's a food server who graduated from college with a degree in public relations.  He has once lived in Spain, but his Spanish influence wasn't enough to win New York's heart, as he was eliminated in the fourth episode.  He's bouncing back now with a round of I Love Money.

Who could ever forget Midget Mac?  He's the smallest guy to compete for the love of New York in the second season of the reality series.  The single father of two daughters hails from Florida, and is a former Navy brat himself.  He boasts that he can do anything tall people can do, and even better, and was selected as one of the 10 men to make it to the casting process for the reality show.  After being cast away from the series, he comes back to declare his love for money on VH1's new reality competition.

Lee Marks A.K.A. Mr. Boston was one of the 20 men selected to compete for the love of New York in the first season of the reality series.  He admits to having cheated on every girl he has ever dated, which was probably why he was eliminated on I Love New York's sixth episode.  He comes back to VH1 to compete in I Love Money.

Ahmad Givens A.K.A. Real is a musician and data encoder who happens to be the brother of Chance.  Both of them competed in the first season of I Love New York, but Real was eliminated in the ninth episode. He comes back to VH1 to go up against his brother again for I Love Money.

Lastly, we have Whiteboy, whose real name is Joshua Gallander.  He's a pawn shop owner who is never intimidated by anyone and is very observant.  He admits that his last relationship failed due to communication issues.  During the eight episode of I Love New York, Whiteboy was eliminated, but he bounces right back with the debut season of I Love Money.

There you have the eight I Love New York alums who are ready to battle it out and see who really has it bad for cold, hard cash on VH1’s I Love Money, which premieres on July 13 at 9pm.
