I Love Money 3 would have been a follow-up to the previous seasons of the show. The contestants were to be selected from other VH1 reality shows such as Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, I Love New York, Real Chance of Love, Daisy of Love, For the Love of Ray J, as well as Megan Wants a Millionaire. Production began in late June 2009 and wrapped early August 2009, with Craig J. Jackson returning to host. Reportedly, I Love Money 3 was set to air in January 2010.[11] In August 2009, VH1 canceled any showings of season three due to castmember Ryan Jenkins' involvement in the death of Jasmine Fiore, as well as Jenkins' suicide. It had been revealed that Jenkins had been convicted for assault in 2007, but this had not been disclosed to VH1 or 51 Minds.
The cast included Flavor of Love's Deelishis and Buckeey, Rock of Love's Lacey and Marcia, I Love New York's Wolf and Pretty, Real Chance of Love's Bubbles, For the Love of Ray J's Lil Hood, Cashmere and Cocktail, Daisy of Love's Weasel, Fox, Professor, Big Rig and Sinister and Megan Wants a Millionaire's Joe aside from Jenkins.[12]
