Shot at Love? Not a Chance in Hell.
So I realized we’ve already passed the sex portion of the class, so I guess we can just file this under “reaction to media.” What do you get when you combine a private strip club, an endless wardrobe of naughty lingerie, a leather-and-whip-filled dominatrix dungeon, and lots of booze? Well you get a new MTV reality show, of course. I am absolutely ashamed to be sitting here watching “Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.” It came on after the Hills… what can I say. Similar to a train wreck, I just couldn’t turn away.
First of all, WHO is this Tila Tequila? From what I can tell, she is a sexually confused (and scantily clad) temptress trying to figure out which gender will bring her love. The group of potential Tequila-pleasers is divided into “16 sexy straight men and 16 luscious lesbians” who, through a series of sexually explicit challenges, fight for the key to Miss Tequila’s heart.
I am totally baffled by the concept of this show. I mean it’s difficult enough to find love, but shouldn’t she at least narrow it down to a specific gender first? It is like she is searching for the perfect accessory but she can’t even decide if she wants a great pair of shoes or a fabulous handbag.
(By the way, I am completely sensitive to the fact that many people do struggle with their sexuality… but Miss Tequila is reportedly not even bisexual… so says her boyfriend.)
Side note: a fight just broke out. I guess that’s what happens when you get a bunch of horny men and women in a room fighting for just one piece of meat. By the way, I completely object to referring to a woman as a piece of meat, but Miss Tequila has somehow managed to put herself into a rare category of exceptions, in my opinion.
She claims to be searching for love, but she doesn’t have the faintest idea of what love really means. She puts herself on this pedestal, while she basically tries to figure out who can pleasure her the best. If you think that’s the secret to love, Miss Tequila, you don’t have a shot in hell. ¶ posted by Kristen at 11:44 PM •
