The fourth season of the VH1 reality television series I Love Money, created by The Surreal Life executive producers Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin and their company, 51 Minds Entertainment, premiered on 16 September 2010.[1][2] The third season was originally slated to air in January 2010, but was pulled from the schedule in 2009 after one of the contestants, Ryan Jenkins, committed suicide after being charged with the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore. It subsequently emerged that Jenkins had been convicted of assault in 2007. However, due to an inadequate background check by Straightline International, the firm contracted to vet him, this was not disclosed to VH1 or 51 Minds. According to 51 Minds, had this assault been disclosed, Jenkins would have never been allowed on the show.[3]
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. 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 Jenkins incident.[4] This was to be the final season of the series. The winner of the competition was Mindy Hall.[5]
