“Megan Wants A Millionaire” Cancelled

VH1 has postponed all future airings of the popular reality dating series Megan Wants A Millionaire as police in Los Angeles search for a Canadian finalist suspected of killing his wife.

An international manhunt is on for Ryan Jenkins, a contestant on the well received show who is now a suspect in the strangling death of his wife, 28-year-old swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore.

Police say Fiore’s body was found stuffed in a suitcase and dumped in a trash bin in Buena Park, California last weekend. She was last seen Friday night at her home in Los Angeles. According to local media, Jenkins took Fiore to a poker party in San Diego the night she disappeared.

VH1 released the following statement regarding the case late Wednesday: “Ryan Jenkins was a contestant on Megan Wants A Millionaire, an outside production, produced and owned by 51 Minds, that is licensed to VH1. The show completed production at the end of March. Given the unfortunate circumstances, VH1 has postponed any future airings. This is a tragic situation and our thoughts go out to the victim’s family.”

All information regarding the show has been removed from the network’s official site. According to some media reports, Jenkins won $250,000 on I Love Money 3, which was taped in March and is scheduled for broadcast later this year.

Hopefully they start doing BETTER back round checks!!! We need people on tv that have a good head on their shoulders not just pretty faces that can throw a punch…… Think about it….. We are what we support!!!!!

@Hope Bradly: That’s what I want to know too! If I had to bet on it, I’d say Ryan Jenkins was at least in the final three, which would explain him getting cast in I Love Money 3. I wouldn’t be shocked if Megan actually picked him as her millionaire.

@guyleena: Sorry, but what/who I want to see on VH1 reality shows are people who aren’t illiterate and who have at least a rudimentary command of the English language at, oh, a second grade level. That would disqualify you.

Well, what does it matter if they tell us who won I Love Money 3, they’re not going to air it now!
Not after all of this, and especially not after they gave this murderer a bunch of money.

That show was stiupt in the first place. Megan was not even entertaining!!! When she was on Rock of Love, she wasn’t somebody that everybody loved, she didn’t even talk very much. I love Vh1 but they messed up by giving her a show anyway!!!
2 give her a show and not TALIOR MADE is a very basd move on Vh1 part. I know everybody would love TALIOR MADES show!!!! He’s great, funny, and extremely entertaining!!!!

i think the only reason there holding the show back, is maybe the epsoides have clues with the murder.
but i don’t know, that’s what i’m guessing.

I watched the show each week and I have to say I am not proud … it was awful and yet I could not stop my self! I think VH1 did the right thing in not making this man a bigger star then he already will be! I do hope someday to see the rest of the shows but for now its just not right for the family of his wife!

i read he did make it to the finals but was cut, so for sure he made the top 3! what a jerk off, i hope they find his canadian ass and kill him in prison, hell if the state cant give him the death penalty the inmates in prison sure can! they do not tolerate killers of women or children!

Anyone heard of innocent until proven guilty? What if he was slain too? Maybe that’s why he cannot be found

This is all such a shame I can hardly believe it! I just started to get sooo into the show “Megan wants a Millionaire” and to hear about such tragedy is shocking! Isn’t it bad enough that the victim had to suffer? Why must we all suffer as well by not being able to follow the rest of the show I so enjoyed! Damn that Ryan to hell for all he has put us all through! And what the heck was his millionaire ass doing on “I Love Money” show trying to win more money for anyway!?? Megan wanta maniac? Megan wants a mass-murderer?? Hey Megan.. be lucky u didnt pick this guy!!

THE SHOW WAS VERY INTERESTING BY THE WAY, TO ALL U HATERS OUT THERE !!!! MANY OF US ENJOY WATCHING REALITY SHOWS AND ARE EXTREMELY DISAPOINTED AT THE CANCELLATION. OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING GOT EVEN THE HATERS’ INTEREST PEAKING FOR THEM TO EVEN BE ON HERE WRITING REMARKS!!! HOWEVER UPSETTING THIS ALL IS, NOT AIRING THE SHOW IS PROBABLY FOR THE BEST RIGHT NOW JUST OUT OF SENSITIVITY AND RESPECT FOR THE VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILY. THIS IS TRULY A TRAGIC STORY WITH A TRAGIC END.
