Here is the supertrailer for Megan Wants a Millionaire, the latest VH1 spinoff featuring a contestant from an -Of Love show now hosting their own dating show. It is, however, the first show not to feature the word “love” in the title (I Love New York, Real Chance of Love, Daisy of Love), which is appropriate for Megan Hauserman, since she’s using the show to land a rich husband and realize her life-long goal of becoming a trophy wife. Here is Videogum’s response to this latest spinoff:
Look, she’s good at what she does, whatever that is. And there’s something refreshingly honest about VH1’s complete abandonment of any pretense of these shows being anything other than attention-starved insane people fucking each other and trying to get their hands on some money, in no particular order. But how long can this go on, VH1? I know that these shows literally cost $14 and a bag of Lender’s frozen bagels to make, and that’s for the entire season, but at some point your audience simply won’t have the pre-requisite knowledge to even understand what is going on. “Wait, so the star was a waitress at the restaurant where contestants on a previous Of Love show ate and gave each other handjobs, and now they’re trying to find “love” in a group of dudes whose defining characteristic is that they’ve all had siblings who were at one point or another in the background of another VH1 show? And it’s how many episodes? 12? But it will feel like thousands, right? Perfect. I’m totally on board for this.”
And yes, I am totally on board for this.
In other VH1 spinoff news, Frank the Entertainer is also getting his own spinoff: The Entertainer of Love (sigh). I am extremely excited for the army of syphilitic Jersey whores who will turn out for the casting calls.
