Are there any other lovers of "I Love Money" out there. I didn't know about this. Apparently, the man being sought for the swimsuit murder who was on "Megan Wants a Millionaire" had also just filmed "I Love Money 3". Now VH1 may not ever run it either: "A VH1 spokesman said no decision has been made about the future of "I Love Money 3," the not-yet-aired competitive reality series that includes Jenkins as a participant. The "I Love Money" series features contestants from VH1 shows competing for cash. The network had not yet scheduled "I Love Money 3," so it was likely to air sometime in 2010, the VH1 spokesman said. " From http://www.hollywoodreporter.com

Here's more: "Fiore and Jenkins were briefly married in a quickie Las Vegas wedding this year and had been fighting in recent months. Fiore's mother, Lisa Lepore, said Jenkins and her daughter "had a big blowout" in May and fought because he was jealous of her ex-boyfriends. Jenkins then went to Mexico to film "I Love Money 3" but struggled to get Fiore back when he returned." From http://www.sfexaminer.com/entertainment/54138367.html Am I the only loser on this board that had watched "Megan wants a Millionaire"? He was getting a favorable edit; I'm wondering if he might have won the darn thing?

Puttergirl, I was wondering the same thing you are wondering. Maybe that is why they won't air the rest of Megan's show because she picked him in the end. Doubt now we will ever know

From the news reports, he only was in 4 episodes of Megan..." I understand them taking it off the air (I didn't watch, can't stand her), but I wonder if keeping it on would have brought more attention to him, and more people might recognize him if they saw him...

Oregon, he did win I Love Money 3. I read an article yesterday that a few days after filming, he showed up at production's office asking for his prize money. ILM wasn't supposed to air until January 2010, and they don't pay the prize until after the reunion show - which would have been approximately April 2010.

Its so strange. How often have you watched some guy on a reality show and thought he was only one episode away from totally losing it and killing someone? It really makes you wonder about some of the people they cast on these shows. Especially VHI shows. Its especially scary with a dating show. Imagine if the "star" selects a guy who ends up killing her? How can VH1 possibly justify not having done a good enough background check to have come up with his history of violence?

Putter, I saw tonight on FNC that this guy had a history of assault charges against women.

Wow, just saw it myself on My Yahoo News. Killed himself. I guess we'll never see the end of Megan wants a Millionaire or I Love Money 3 now. Was anyone else watching it? It feels really strange to have just watched him on there and then have all this happen at the same time you're seeing him on tv. Megan must feel like she dodged a major bullet!!!!

I hate to say it, but I think Megan's first and foremost thought is how ticked she is that her show won't be airing now.

If he really was kicked off in the 4th episode, they could just pick up with the 5th episode and show the rest. I guess I Love Money 3 is done for now, though.

Naja, I think you are correct in your assessment of Megan. Especially if she is still dating that VH1 producer that got her on all these shows - then this show was a sham.

On Larry King Live tonight, they had on the person who casted him. She said that the show is pulled. She said he didn't win, but was in the finals.

if he made it to the finals then there is a chance his xwife was on one of those eps, these shows always have someone from the guys past come in to cause drama.

Pamy, I never watched that show! So there! And Naja, I agree. I bet that woman's first thought was "dang it, now my show won't finish airing, now I'll have to think of something else to do to become famous!"

I did watch the show, VH1 is always on one of the tv's at my gym and when Im walking on the treadmill....I always catch some part of these shows, the beginning,end or middle....but in the end...I can say I have pretty much seen them all... I cant stand Megan ether...but I have to think that she may be a little creeped out by all of this....(I know I would)....in one of the first shows she asked him a question about why he was looking for love and he flat out told her that if she picked him he would not ask for a 'pre-nuptuel agreement' as he wanted his green card....and she said...."Intresting"....he was a wierd one in my mind... I caught alot of another show 'while at the gym'...the one with Daisy..(she is another mess)...but I remember telling my daughter that I wondered where they got these guys, cause on her show it looked like they plucked them right off 'deathrow' or some major prisen.....they were really scary guys on her show.... So when this happened with this guy, it just sorta proves to me that they are looking more for 'fireworks and ratings' and not really caring about there contestents...(if I like them or not).... Even on BB right now I am amazed at the messes they have on that show as well... When people make threats about rape,killing family members,stabbing in the neck and etc....its just starting to get alittle more than I can take... If I want to watch this kinda reality...I can watch 'Behind bars' or other shows like that...When I watch a reality show, I want to laugh not be scared for someones life.... Wierd stuff..

Chewy, thanks for taking one for the team and watching Megan's show so you could report back! Costa, you were the first one I thought of when I heard the show was pulled. LOL

Never saw the show but did see countless clips from Megan Wants A Millionaire. The nut-bar that killed his wife and was then found dead in a motel room here in B.C. seemed to have wanted to be a reality star. I'm wondering if both shows were made by the same production company. If so they obviously don't do thorough background checks like they say they do.

BTW, I read an article in the paper yesterday where the producers were questioned about background checks. The problem is that they can only look where they are told to go. So if someone says they lived in San Diego, but really they lived in Vancouver, odds are high that they won't find any information on, say, assault records. Which doesn't excuse anything but if the contestants are less than truthful... Then again, I think if the producers would spend the $$ to do an independent check, maybe the crazies wouldn't be so predominant. In the case of the guy who killed himself, I dunno if they could obtain all information about him since he was Canadian. I'm still wondering how he managed to get on the show, not being a US citizen and all.

If he has a valid work visa for the US he can get on any reality show he wants!

I read a blurb on the AOL news screen that VH1 is trying to come up with another show idea for Megan since hers didn't finish airing. Pretty sure it said it wouldn't be another dating show though. lol Also, it said she has brought another suit against Sharon Osbourne. It seems the guy serving the original court papers was almost run down by Sharon...according to Megan. Odd to me though. It should be the one almost run down to try to sue in my opinion. But that's Megan for you....all about the money. lol
