We’ll be looking back at the year that was 2010 on VH1 all week, and to start things off easily is a group of screen shots amassed from various recaps over the past year from shows like Basketball Wives, You’re Cut Off!, Frank the Entertainer in A Basement Affair, What Chilli Wants and more. If you pay close attention, you may see an abstract story unfolding. Or maybe not! Enjoy the images…

We finally caught up with our Money Hungry winners, Mission Slimposible. In our first interview , Mark tells us about his weight gain since the show, why the talk of spending his winnings in Vegas was just that: talk, and the fantastic story of his friendship with Joe that started in the HOV lane of the Staten Island Expressway and took them all the way to winning $100,000 on national television.

It’s Mission Slimpossible versus Grading Curves versus the Regulators on Monday’s finale of Money Hungry (premiering at 9/8c). Will it be Family members or Orphans who finally nab that $100,000 grand prize? Check the clip from the finale above, and hit below for the finale’s press release…

The Slenderellas Reek Of…Soap

Despite their repeated attempts to stay in the game, the Slenderellas ended up getting bounced from Money Hungry this week (leaving Grading Curves, Mission Slimpossible and the Regulators as the Final 3 for the finale). The Slenderellas’ failed strategy involved kissing up to Grading Curves (this week’s big heavies) and maybe sharing a bath with Mission Slimpossible’s Joe. In the extended take on the latter scene above, what would normally be private time is made public, thanks the the presence of cameras. It’s hard to say what the Slenderellas were going for here — did Jackie and Kaitlin attempt to endear themselves to Joe via the three-way bath to persuade him to vote the way they wanted, or were they just hanging out, being goofy and doing what they do? If it’s the latter case, it clearly didn’t work. If it’s the former, it’s proof of why it sucks that it didn’t work. It’s not every reality TV contestant who’s willing to get into a hot tub fully clothed. Clearly, we’re losing something special.

Good news, guys: Stephanie isn’t mute, after all. In fact, she has quite a bit to say about her time on Money Hungry, including being overshadowed by Phillip, being one of the smallest people on a weight-loss show and being Josh’s object of (temporary?) affection…
