For Love or Money is also a reality television show initially broadcasted on NBC. It is basically a dating show where the chosen winner will choose to stay with the central bachelor or will take home a million dollars but without any further contact with the bachelor. Four seasons of the program are shown, all of which are hosted by Jordan Murphy. It was produced by Nash Productions with Bruce Nash and JD Roth as two of the executive producers.

The first season saw Rob Campos choose among sixteen suitors, unaware that each woman was informed that she was set to win a million dollars. The selection boiled down to Erin Brodie and Paige Jones. The two women assumed that Erin would take the money and Paige would take Rob. But in an unexpected move, Rob chose Erin, leaving Paige to tear up her check. But as expected Erin rejected Rob and took the million dollars, sending him home.


The second season saw Erin returning to the house three weeks after she took her million-dollar check. She returned to risk her million dollar-check by being in Rob's position, this time choosing among 15 male suitors. If the final man she chose chooses her, her million dollars would double; otherwise, the million dollars (in essence) will be passed to him, leaving her with nothing.


When she trimmed her choices down to just three, Rob returned as a "fourth man," returning to woo her the second time. Although Rob made it to the final three suitor, Erin ultimately rejected him, leaving her to choose between Wade Whistler and Chad Viggiano. In the end, Erin chose Chad, who chose her. As a result, she won both Chad and two million dollars, $500,000 of which went to Chad.


The third season saw Preston Mercer choose a new set of sixteen suitors, all vying for either his love or their reserved checks.

  • $500,000
  • $1,000,000

Furthermore, only Preston would know the value of each lady's check while the women would never know their value.


Although some ladies eventually knew the values of their check. it became all for naught as the final four ladies choose four mystery checks: two valuing at a single dollar, and the other two valued at a million dollars.


In the end, Preston chose PJ Spillman over one of the season's major antagonists Rachel Veltri. In an unexpected twist, after PJ would pick her choice, Preston was also being asked to choose either PJ or the million-dollar check reserved for him. The two ended up with each other. As a result, Rachel tore up her million-dollar check while PJ went off with Preston, never knowing that her check was worth just a dollar.

The fourth season saw Rachel's return to the house so she would risk the million dollars that she would have won. She would be in Preston's position, choosing her best suitor from among 15 men. Unknown to her, the same thing is said to her known enemy, Amanda Langi, who also lost a million-dollar check while wooing Preston. They only became aware of each other's presence at time they were expecting the men.


Each of the fifteen men were also presented with what seemed to be blank checks, with values revealed under ultraviolet light with the same value already stated above. The new twist is the men would immediately know the values of their checks while Rachel and Amanda would never have the same idea.


Rachel beat Amanda by being courted by eight men as opposed to Amanda's seven. Rachel became the sole bachelorette of the show. This page is about unmarried women; for the television show, see The Bachelorette. ...


Like the season before, checks became worthless as the final four men choose four mystery checks: two valuing at a single dollar, and the other two valued at a million dollars.

Though hesitant at first to choose the million dollars, Rachel finally opted for Caleb, who never knew his final check is worth just a dollar. Mike, on the other hand, had to give up a million. However, it was reported that a month after the end of the show's production, Caleb and Rachel split up. [1]
