VH1 was originally supposed to be MTV for older people. The channel once played all the slightly adult contemporary videos, but then it eventually fell into a pattern of broadcasting reality TV and never went back. And VH1 has been diving into things ever since. Here are some of the biggest in the network's history. VH1 followed the standard Bachelor formula with Megan Wants a Millionaire, with the caveat that the male contestants had to have the bank account to qualify. People reported that only three episodes of the series had aired when it suddenly got pulled from the schedule, for the disturbing reason that one of the featured suitors had just done something bad.
Ryan Jenkins was single when he participated in the dating show, but almost immediately after, he met Jasmine Fiore and married her just two days later. Jenkins, quote, "slowly lost his grip on reality, Jenkins fled to Canada and hanged before he could be apprehended.
VH1 liked Jenkins so much they had cast him on I Love Money 3, which had yet to air. That also ended up being canceled. VH1 got some heat for missing the fact he had an assault charge on his record. Other contestants said they had extensive background checks, so it's not clear how the network missed it.
