'For Love or Money' Contestants Clear the Air
(Monday, September 01 10:04 AM)
By Holly Aguirre

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The casts of "For Love or Money," versions one and two, will be reunited Monday night (Sept. 1) before the grand finale episode, which its star, Erin Brodie, promises will be "juicy."

NBC has found a minor hit this summer, with viewers tuning in to see the 31-year-old Brodie wade through 15 bachelors vying for her heart or a million-dollar purse awarded to the last man standing.

Brodie won $1 million at the end of the first "For Love or Money" by choosing the cash over bachelor Rob Campos. The twist in "2" is that if she can convince either Chad or Wade to choose her over the money, she will win $2 million. If the guy takes the money, she loses it all.

It appears that Brodie is going for the gold. The statuesque 5-foot-9 San Francisco native was not given a clothing allowance for the show, and she's got a credit card bill upwards of $15,000. The brown-eyed beauty has a penchant for Italian designers and Chanel eyewear.
"All the clothes on the show were mine," says Brodie, who has now moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in broadcasting.

The reunion show, in which almost every cast member from both shows returns, was a chance for the casts to reunite, air grievances and explain behavior that perhaps did not put them in a favorable light.

Eric Ferch was raked over the coals and made out to be the bad guy in many of the episodes in "For Love or Money 2". Ferch says that when you are stuck in a house with 14 other men competing for the same girl, you don't necessarily behave as you would in the real world.

"You've got nothing put your own thoughts and no contact with the outside world, so you're bound to not be yourself," he says. "But to my discredit, I allowed certain things to happen that I am not so proud of. But I'm really not that smarmy."

"Eric is an emotional guy, but he is not as scheming as the show made him out to be," Brodie says of the 27-year-old advertising executive who made it to her final four. "As a matter of fact, he's a catch."

Brodie also believes that the nature of the show puts contestants into roles. "Like Laura in the first season, she was the oldest and took on the role of the mother," she says.

Campos, who was let go by Brodie, again, in last week's episode, in particular takes a beating at the reunion show. Producers decided to show footage of his infamous alcohol-fueled romp in the hot tub.

"I am not having a good time," he said at the taping.

Brodie said that she was shocked when Campos -- who she thought she would never see again -- reappeared on the scene in Week 5 of the second show.

"I don't like things going left unsaid, so I was glad that he came back for the closure," Brodie says. "But I knew that I didn't have feelings for him."

But at least he might have helped pay off that credit card bill.

The "For Love or Money" reunion airs at 9 p.m. ET Monday, Sept. 1 on NBC.

Ya know - watching Rob Campos last night - I was almost embarassed for him when they showed the clips they did. I'm not sorry for him - to me he turned out to be a dud.

The kissy-face in the hot tub and his raunchy drunken dancing - do you think he learned anything - anything at all about himself?
