Okay, so I’ve been a closet Tila Tequila fan because of her stupid MTV reality show about choosing between 16 guys and 16 girls to find her “true love” or whatever. Adriann and I grew randomly interested at the premise, and when there was nothing else on, we watched it easily, because it was pretty mindless and always funny to watch the idiot people do stupid things to profess their love for this random “bisexual” girl.
I quote the word bisexual, because there are two kinds of bisexual girls. 1) The true people who believe love holds no specific gender. They could marry a man or woman or something in between. I prefer to call this pansexual, because the point is that nothing should matter but how you fall in love. 2) The girls who know it’s “popular” to “make out” with other girls so they do it either for attention or to snag guys who are into that kind of stuff.
Tila is, I found out, definitely #2.
At the end of the show she was given the choice between Bobby, a kind of puppy dogish kid from a farm or something, and Dani, a butch but incredible emotional girl. In everything, Dani seemed to excel and connect. And Bobby? Well, he was okay. Kind of a dork. Kind of insecure. Kind of awkward. Everybody was betting Tila would go for Dani.
Okay, so I’m slightly upset about the fact that Dani lost — at the time, it basically made me want to throw things at the TV — but really, it’s just a TV show and I was all, “Oh well, at least that cute girl Dani can go out and find someone worthwhile now!” and I was over it. Until today.
Adriann pointed me towards an article about how apparently Tila and her new beau Bobby “broke up” recently…so she’ll be able to do A Shot At Love 2 on MTV next year.
Yeah.
It bugs me because:
1) It proves how utterly fake MTV’s versions of “reality” shows are.
2) It proves how far MTV has strayed from its true “music television” roots.
3) It proves that all America cares about is ridiculous, talentless #2 “bisexual” girls making out every 5 minutes
4) The way Tila said she “loved” everyone on the show drove me effing crazy.
5) There’s really no truth in any of it, and it’s all for publicity.
I dunno. It’s really all ridiculous but it bugs me, and that’s the truth. :)
Dude I’ve seen that show, for some reason Tila just pisses me off and so I’ve never fully watched it. I agree with all you said, but don’t feel too bad, I got sucked into the Hills, much more shameful.
hahaha and iiiiii got sucked into I Love New York (part 2)…. my kids were always raving about the show and it was really difficult to hold class without knowing who the heck Tailor Made and Buddha were, so I caved. I enjoy it for the stupidity, but i too was sorely disappointed at the end. New York ended up picked Tailor Made basically because he’s rich and will do anything she says – meanwhile, Buddha is an actual person with opinions and HONESTLY said “i love and respect you, but i’m not innn love with you.. i couldn’t possibly be in such a short amount of time”. ugh.. people who find “love” on mtv reality shows should jump off of a tall building instead. psh.
Think you hit the nail on the head. Tila Tequila appears to me to be one of the most disgusting creations yet from the American marketing machine. It takes some real ignorance to believe that MTVs version of ‘reality’ is real; it’s about as fake as reality gets. But then again, what is reality anyway?
