I Love Money 4 or I Love Money (season 4) is the fourth season of the VH1 reality television series I Love Money, created by Surreal Life executive producers Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin. The fourth season's 18 contestants were drawn from I Love New York, Rock of Love, Real Chance of Love, Daisy of Love, Megan Wants a Millionaire, and For the Love of Ray J to compete in physical and mental challenges, aiming for a $250,000 grand prize. Production began in late August 2009 and wrapped September 2009, and premiered on 16 September 2010. The show was reportedly edited in order to focus on the competitions, as VH1 noted they "had a new programming filter in place" in the wake of the Ryan Jenkins off-camera tragedy. This was to be the final season of the series. The winner of the competition was Mindy Hall.
Episode 1 — Blond Baller and Francisco were the only ones safe from elimination as they were the Team Captains.
Episode 7 — Craig announced there would be no more teams.
Episode 9 — Garth came last in the challenge and was eliminated straight away.
Episode 11 — Brittanya came last in the challenge and was eliminated straight away.
Hot Wings and Brooklyn both made it to the last step of the challenge, with no clear order given.
First aired 16 September 2010
18 contestants from various "of Love" shows, arrive in Manzanillo, Mexico to compete on the fourth season. Alliances are formed and the backstabbing begins as two money lovers are sent packing on the first night.
Their first challenge is called the "Safe Cracker" it involves the contestants competing in their own sex to spin around a gear which is on top of a safe until it opens, then after it opens they must take out a bag of money from inside the safe and run across to the next safe; the first six contestants to make it this station moves on to the next round of the challenge, while the other three are eliminated. They empty out the money on the top of safe, count how much money there is to find out what the safe combination, unlock the safe, and move on to the next round. The first 3 to move on to the next round are safe whilst the other 3 contestants are eliminated. After the safe is unlocked, they have to run across to a safe and untie the rope holding it down; after the knot is untied, they must lift up the safe in the air with rope and smash it down on the ground so it cracks open. After it opens, the first person to get the detonator, run to the final safe, and blow it up is the winner will be the team captain.
