Another season, another line up of fake “reality” shows. The latest reality sham to hit the air is “A Shot of Love 2” with Tila Tequila, the MySpace chick who spent hours upon hours on the internet gathering the most “MySpace friends”, is taking another shot at finding love on reality TV after “breaking up” with the winner of Shot of Love 1, Bobby Banhart. The reason why I quoted the words breaking up is because you can’t really break up with someone you’ve never dated. According to Bobby’s MySpace page, as soon as the cameras were gone, so was Tila – she didn’t even leave so much as her phone number for Bobby. But of course Tila, not wanting to lose any of her fan-base, concocted up a different story, saying on her MySpace page that her “hectic schedule was really hard on him and we both were getting frustrated, but at the same time... I just wanted to find someone who would understand what a crazy lifestyle I have so it's too bad that things didn't work out between us”. And with that, Tila announced that she will be choosing another partner out of 16 men and 16 women to spend her life with.
Of course, like most reality shows, the star is not in it for love. Apparently Tila has been with the same boyfriend for almost 2 years and she may not even be bisexual – which I don’t find hard to believe as in the first season she acted straight as an arrow. For instance, throughout the show Tila is constantly saying "I'm a bisexual," rather than "I'm bisexual." That's like Lance Bass saying, "I'm a gay." Plus she’s always turning to the camera’s and saying things like, "This show's the perfect experience because it's really going to help me figure out -- do I really like a guy or do I really like a girl?" Not only does this “do I really like a guy or girl” contradict her previous statement of being bisexual (as being bisexual means you ALREADY KNOW you like both sexes), but it’s also as if she’s forgotten what the premise of her show is; it isn’t to determine whether or not she’s bisexual or straight, it’s to find a partner! Also, if Tila Tequila was this big Myspace celebrity, wouldn’t she, at some point, have hooked up with a girl while trolling the web for sex?
Of course, whether it’s fake or not, I know I’ll end up watching season 2 obsessively.
