Michelle Money

In a cross-promotional effort somewhere between awesome and terrible, Monday's episode of The Bachelor will feature a date with Brad Womack in which three of the remaining ladies will pose for the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue!

Move over, Brooklyn Decker. Make room for Ashley Hebert ...

Don't get us wrong. Ashley, Chantal O’Brien and Michelle Money are all attractive girls worthy of inclusion. But c'mon, we're talking about The Bachelor, people.

The SI swimsuit issue may have jumped the shark with this PR stunt, desperate to make a splash (pun intended) in the Free-Internet-Pics-of-Hot-Girls era.

Nevertheless, you can't deny that Michelle Money, for all her psycho stalker antics, has a ridiculous body she will flaunt in this setting. Chantal isn't far behind.

She may not win the final rose (THG's Bachelor spoilers have a thing or two to say about that), but Michelle Money is definitely the contestant of the year.

Watching the 30-year-old - not 29, not 31 - become more and more unhinged this season has been a treat for The Bachelor viewers ... or just frightening.

Michelle surpassed her own crazy standards on last night's episode, sneaking into Brad Womack's villa, demanding answers and trashing the other girls:

Michelle Money Gives Brad Womack Advice

Womack, who's a bit stiff on his best days, was floored when Michelle Money called him out for keeping Chantal O'Brien, one of her top competitors.

She also attempted to swallow his face, complained about not getting enough QT with him and listed the order in which he should eliminate the others.

"You're scaring me," Womack said. He's definitely not alone after this.

We'd consider letting her go via satellite when the time comes, B.

This week's episode of The Bachelor featured a trip to Costa Rica, Michelle upping the crazy to levels we didn't know existed and two more women eliminated.

One of whom we pretty much forgot was still on the show, a sign that it's been a pretty smooth ride for Brad so far. The tough decisions will really begin next week.

How did last night's dates play out? Who went home and who are the final six remaining? Let's break it all down right here in THG's trademark +/- recap!

Michelle, after Chantal Ohhhh received the first one-on-one date: "All I can do is be myself, be patient, and hope that she gets attacked by monkeys." Plus 8.

Obligatory Bachelor zip line / "take the plunge together" moment! Minus 5.

Chantal O’Brien in a men's white button-down shot? Not so unhot. Plus 12.

The good news about this date, which obviously ended with her getting a rose, was that Brad actually appeared human. The bad news? This is rare. Minus 4.

Monday's episode of The Bachelor featured a dreaded 2-on-1 date, some emotional outbursts, a faux dominatrix and the most lopsided date of all time.

The fifth week of the season felt a bit like filler, or at least like its sole goal was to build tensions and feelings for the final few weeks when it really gets good.

That said, there were memorable moments, good and bad. How did it all play out? Who stayed and who left? Let's break it down in THG's classic +/- recap!

Amazing that a NASCAR-themed date was selected.

Shawntel gets the rose on the first solo date, and it's well-earned. The embalmer doesn't get the PR, but she seems very nice and down-to-earth. Plus 9.

Emily Maynard goes on a group date in which they go to a NASCAR track to take laps. Emily's late fiance was a race car driver. Minus 14, Mike Fleiss. Cold.

She handles being jerked around with such grace, though. Plus 10, and Plus 5 more, because Brad seems to empathize and care for her very genuinely.

Brad Womack came to the defense Michelle Money following this week's episode of The Bachelor, calling the season's resident psycho a "remarkable woman."

Apparently Carlos Boozer shares that opinion of her.

Michelle Money's affair with the then-married NBA star is the subject of an article in the new issue of Life & Style, with the 30-year-old confirming the story.

SHOW HIM THE  ... sorry, the puns are literally endless.

Salt Lake City resident Money says she met the Chicago Bulls power forward in Salt Lake City in 2009, while he was still playing for the Utah Jazz.

At the time, Boozer was still married to wife Cindy, also known as CeCe, with whom he has three kids. The couple filed for divorce in March 2009.

According to reports, however, they attempted a reconciliation shortly thereafter and did not actually terminate their marriage until August 2010.

In other words ... baller was playing with house Money. So to speak.

Michelle Money is the resident crazy this season on The Bachelor. As is often the case, The Bachelor hasn't figured it out as early as the viewers.

From her phantom injuries to her threats of dropping elbows on Ashley, Michelle's antics comprised a large part of THG's official recap this week.

But at least for the moment, Brad Womack is unfazed. In fact, he's smitten.

SO MONEY: Brad seems to think Michelle is. In a manner of speaking.

We hate to break it to you, Michelle haters. She's not going away anytime soon. Will she make the hometown dates? Read The Bachelor spoilers here if you must.

Excerpts of Brad's reflections on Michelle from this past episode below:

"I wanted to be strong for her. She was a mess at first – so terrified she was crying uncontrollably. I was so proud of her for conquering her fear! She did it!"

"That evening I saw a side to Michelle that I had been waiting to see. She's obviously beautiful but she's also intelligent, mature and an amazing mother."
