A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila

I have a secret obsession and it comes in the form of a reality show.

Up until now I have always said what a waste of time reality shows are and that being addicted to them is pure nonsense. I would publicly like to retract that statement and replace it with a confession: I am addicted to the reality show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. True, who wouldn’t be addicted when the star of the show is none other but the reigning queen of the massive social-networking website Myspace herself, Tila Tequila. As Lev Grossman of Time Magazine stated, “Tila Tequila is something entirely new, a celebrity created not by a studio or a network but fan by fan, click by click, from the ground up on MySpace.” As if she didn’t feel loved enough having 5,000 new friend requests every day, Tila Tequila decided to try to find love in the most public way possible: in a reality T.V. show. MTV’s A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila premiered on October 9, 2007 and is the first of its kind to be a dating game with both men and women competing for the same woman. Confused? Don’t be. Tila Tequila is a bisexual. This intriguing show never leaves time for boredom and publicizes bisexuality in a way that has never been done before. Props to Tila for speaking openly about her sexuality and props to MTV for being the ones to realize that a show like this attracts literally everyone: straight, gay, and bi people, meaning only one thing: lots of money.
