A Shot At Love

Many of us here have something important in common: Despite being huge elitists (myself included) in many realms, we just can’t get enough bad TV. How will MTV/VH1 outdo themselves next time? The answer is: “A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila.” There are those who are diehard “I Love New York” fans, and while I love seeing our old friend New York ceremonially spit out her suitors’ culinary attempts into a pail as much as the next person, I just can’t stop watching Tila. An unprecedented bisexual pool of contestants. A star who really isn’t famous for anything. (Though Time says she is “some combination of rapper, singer, model, blogger and actress,” and common knowledge of the Internets says she has the most Myspace friends – not an easy task.) Rumors that Tila isn’t even bisexual. And of course the usual reality TV (awesome) characteristics of catfights, sex, and the absurdity of “dating” on TV itself… PERFECTION.

I also can’t wait for the inevitable spinoffs of this show – a chance for the rejects to find their own true love. I’m pulling for Dani, originally a dark horse and outsider as the only non-”lipstick” lesbian, who has emerged from the masses and is now in the final two!When it comes down to it, no one really cares if it’s real. “Reality TV” is merely a nominal label that really means TV that I will enjoy. I’ll still keep watching the Hills (despite the well-circulated article of its lack of reality) because the producers and editors are such geniuses at their craft – creating a hilarious story that makes us feel better about our own intelligence, sanity, and lives in general. Don’t miss the series finale of Tila Tequila, when she finally finds her true soul mate! Tuesday night (Dec. 18) at 10:00 Eastern on MTV. And stay tuned to see how reality TV tops itself again – your work is cut out for you, Viacom.
