Poor Domenico. He was taunted and tortured by the other contestants, but through it all he managed to walk away with Tila and the gang’s respect and his own MTV show. Last week Amanda and her “girls” pulled ahead of Dani on the lesbian front, and it’s beginning to look like A Shot At Love is Bobby’s game to lose for the boys.
The remaining four contestants are packing their bags. TT is going to travel across the country to visit the gang’s hometowns and meet with their parents. My sympathies go to them all. Bobby is nervous because unlike Ryan, he doesn’t come from money and can’t impress TT. Amanda is also scared because she has six special needs brothers and sisters. “It’s going to be intense.â€
First stop, Worchester, NY to visit Bobby. He meets her at the local bowling lanes so she can spend a day in his shoes (get it, he means bowling shoes). She’s a city girl in the country and she can’t wait to see where he grew up. On the lanes Bobby was going to give her a blue ball (get it, blue balls), and she’s really bad at bowling. I’m sure there’s an metaphor about gutter balls and reality TV shows somewhere that I’m missing.
TT and Bobby go to meet his, dad, mom, brother, step dad, and step mom. TT admits to being bisexual to his family almost right off the bat, and they’re somewhat shocked. Granted, admitting to bisexuality isn’t the easiest topic to breach in casual dinner conversation. At dinner, TT gets frisky with Bobby’s brother by getting whipped cream on her funbags and asking him to wipe it off. Mom was decidedly NOT IMPRESSED, and after a few drinks she walks away from the table. TT went to talk to her, and after their one-on-one they discovered that they’d be good ol’ fashioned bar snakes if they were the same age. Bobby is happy that mom sees a lot of him in TT…and he’d like to see himself in TT (Get it?!). Jokes definitely aren’t subtle in upstate New York.
Now it’s off to Pacific City, Oregon to visit Amanda. She meets TT on the beach, and even though I’m not a nature person, I have to say that the Oregon beach is stunning. It looks a little like the beach in The Goonies. Oh, wow, I just read that The Goonies was shot in Oregon.
After a quick round of kite flying, the two lay on beach towels and talk. We learn that Amanda had drug problems all throughout high school but moved on. TT was impressed to learn that Amanda is more than just fun and games. They walk up to meet Amanda’s parents at a picnic table overlooking the coast. In the picnic basket is a virgin drink, and TT laughs that she’s definitely no virgin. With a loud, over-the-top lesbian daughter like Amanda and six special needs childrens, Amanda’s parents aren’t even remotely phased by TT. Amanda talks to her dad about TT. “She’s perky!â€
Later TT visits Amanda’s brothers and sisters. I’m not going to lie, special needs children make me uncomfortable, and I give high praise to TT for displaying grace and humor when interacting with them. Amanda is very happy. “If you can do that you can handle anything.â€
Now it’s time for the exotic locale of…Trenton, New Jersey, home of Ryan! Ryan wants TT to meet his friends at a local Asian restaurant. They’re definitely “dudes,†and react as such when they find out that TT is a bisexual. Their rowdy straight boy behavior is tempered when they think about her meeting Ryan’s parents. His father is a hard-nosed man who worked his way to the top of a multimillion dollar company. As one friend said, he might just say “bye bi†to TT.
Ryan drives TT to a gigantic house on a huge property. Not to belabor the point, but his parent’s house is HUGE. Ryan’s sister quickly embraces him, and TT is more attracted to his sister than to him. It’s true, Lauren looks like a straight version of Amanda with all the rough edges smoothed out. She awkwardly admits that TT is “exotic..in many different ways.â€
In front of the family’s pool TT admits to being Bisexual. Ryan’s family says “Ok,†but they’re eyes say “Jeeves, please escort this bisexual off our property.†TT catches the parents catching themselves being impolite. Seeing how she reacted to Bobby’s humble upbringing, I can tell right now that Ryan is being voted off tonight.
At dinner TT jokes with them about being bisexual and about Ryan’s body. She tells Lauren she’ll be gay sooner than she thinks, and she prays before dinner to thank God for Ryan’s hot family. “We don’t usually talk about nipples at our dinner table,†says the mom. The parents hide their horror well throughout dinner, and dad is impressed that TT worked her way from the bottom just like he did. Before dinner is even finished, Ryan takes TT on “a tour†of the house, which means he’s hooking up with her while his parents are downstairs. HOT! TT leaves the Ryan’s house, and I’m curious about the conversation his family will have later that night.
New Jersey was fun wasn’t it? TT’s final visit is in South Florida to visit Dani. She starts at Dani’s firehouse, which is Dani’s home away from home. The firemen are all crushing on TT, and titalated when she “works the fire pole.†At the house’s spaghetti dinner, the men are defensive of Dani. TT says off camera that she was touched when they told her that, “It’s an honor for you to have Dani in my life…You dump her, you’re dumping all of us.†Dani is charmingly embarrassed by the guy’s display of affection.
Now it’s time for TT to meet Dani’s mom, Grandmother, aunt, and two cousins. Dani’s cousin Michael recognized TT. “It’s freakin’ Tila Tequila!†Dani sits down with her family and has the first open conversation with them about her own sexuality. This seemingly uncomfortable situation was made better by Dani’s completely accepting family. “I wasn’t born yesterday,†said grandma. LOL. Speaking of grandma, I love her. She’s the sassy grandma that we see in movies, while our own grandparents suffer away in nursing homes. She asks TT to bounce on her knee, and TT pulls out the lap dance. Granny loves it! Off camera, Granny gets serious about her love for Dani. “I don’t want to be judged…I just want what’s best for her. If that’s what she chooses, than I’m with her all the way.â€
That was such a great trip across America, but now we’re back in California. The gang all arrives back at the Shot At Love house and are shocked that they’re glad to be back. On the upside, it looks like the one sheet for the bed was washed while they were away. They all go out back to the pool and recount their days with TT, and they all think they’re going to win.
It’s elimination time, and one person will go home. First Bobby is called, which, duh. Second is Dani, and I will be the first to admit that I never thought she had a chance to make it this far. That leaves Amanda and Ryan, but two boobs will always win over one boob from New Jersey, and Amanda wins. He’s upset, but he’s going to take what he learned and, I don’t know, put it to use in New Jersey.
“Are you guys up for a vacation,†TT shouts. The last three contestants are going to Mexico. Well, they’re going to Cancun, so really it’s Mexico-lite. Also, MTV, you need to give Dani’s Granny a show stat!
November 28th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
My name is Angie. I love Dani…I actually watch the show because of her. I hope Tila stays with her. I am a straight female and I have a boyfriend, but I have a thing for Dani (in a good way). Not only is she nice, but also honest and loving and she has a lot to offer for Tila.
November 28th, 2007 at 5:03 pm
Oh my gosh I HOPE she chooses Dani!!!! I am a straight female but I think Dani is unbelievably sexy. Yummmmmm!
November 28th, 2007 at 5:39 pm
Tila definately needs to choose Dani! She seems like a very nice and caring person. If she doesn’t, then Dani can come and be my lover!
November 28th, 2007 at 6:08 pm
I hope that Tila chooses Dani. I think that they will get along very nicely. Dani’s relatives accepted Tila right off the bat. As you know some families will not except their child’s sexuality. Dani’s family did that; no questions asked. I am a straight female; but Dani just might have changed my mind!!!!
November 28th, 2007 at 6:53 pm
I hope she gets with Amanda!
November 28th, 2007 at 7:09 pm
i DEFINITELY think that tila should pick amanda. she is so real, chill, funny, and sexy! i am a straight female and i think that she is sexy. when i saw her on the first episode, i was like “damn! she is sooo gonna win!” she is the perfect match for tila. rock on amanda!!
November 28th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
I defiantly think Tila should choose Bobby!
November 28th, 2007 at 7:48 pm
I am a stright women but i love dani…I think that tila should or will at the end be wit dani
November 28th, 2007 at 7:58 pm
oh my god. I’m bisexual as well and Dani is freaking HOT. She’s cool. Ryan is too agressive.. I would have slapped him a long time ago. Not sad that he’s gone. Bobby seems really sweet and I’d love to see more of him ^.^. Amanda is really pretty and really confident, but she’s also a little intimidating. My favorite contestant through the whole show is BRANDI! I’m so sad that she’s not there anymore =( Stupid for leaving like that. Anyway, Dani, if you don’t get with Tila, tons of girls would love to get with you, including myself! LOVE TO ALL!!
Jenn
November 28th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
Dani is the one Tila!! Wow-shes amazing! I have to be honest and say, when I first saw Dani I immedietly thought no way, thats def. not what shes looking for. I have proved wrong more then ever! Dani rocks. She’s got the best of both worlds, and is an amazing person. She’s sweet, loving, and funny as hell!
GOOD LUCK DANI! I’ve been with the whole time!
xoxo
November 28th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
Ok. I can’t help but love Dani. I’ve never had an ounce of anything for women, but she is incredible (on the show) and I think I might be a bit more than smitten.
They’re casting for the next show already, so I guess whatever Tila chose didn’t work out. Does that mean Dani is available????
November 28th, 2007 at 8:45 pm
I hope you pick Dani. She seeems like great person and is able to let go and have fun as well. Good Luck!! They all are cool but i’d pick her… but i’m strait. she reminds me of an old friend. PLus her grandma is Rockin. =^-^=
November 28th, 2007 at 8:47 pm
ok,I think MTV will give Dani her own show like NY on vh1
November 28th, 2007 at 9:03 pm
i totally loved Dani’s family!!!! I’ve always thought she should be the one Tila chooses
November 28th, 2007 at 9:09 pm
I really hope that Tila chooses Dani, she seems the realest as far as her feelings for Tila.
November 28th, 2007 at 9:40 pm
First off I am straight as can get, but i LOVE LOVE LOVE Dani! She’s so cute if she was a guy…i’d definitly be intrested but since she’s not I would still LOVE to meet her and get to know her she is obviously the most “Real” of the contestants left and if she doesn’t end up with Tila in the end I would still want to see Dani again on some type of show…maybe her own
November 28th, 2007 at 9:51 pm
I Really want her to pick Dani!! She’s my favorite and she is the best person for her and she is gorgeous!!!
November 28th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
I have to start off by saying I LOVE Dani (girl you kick some ass). I think she would be a great match for Tila, but that is just because I want to see more of her. I would love a whole episode with just Dani and Tila. They rock my world. I can’t wait for next weeks show!!!
November 28th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
IM SOO FOR DANI SHE FRIGGIN’ ROCKS AND IS THE BEST CHOSE FOR TILA, SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT HER AND I THINK THEM TWO ARE JUST PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOAH! GO DANI…!
November 28th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
Since the beginning Dani has been my favorite. She pretty much has the whole package: nice, funny,really considerate of Tila’s feelings, and so much more. If Tila doesn’t pick Dani, I can’t watch the show anymore! I’m definately straight, but if there’s anyone who could make me turn, it’s Dani. She’s so cute!
Good luck Dani!
November 28th, 2007 at 10:23 pm
I hope she chooses Dani……..us honest butches gotta stick together….Dani can offer her so much
November 28th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
I saw the last episode of TT and I just have to say how much more respect I have for Tila! When I first started watching the show I thought she seemed ditzy and sort of slutty. But now that I have watched her decision making and the types of people she is picking to have stay and eliminate, I respect her. She has a very open heart, non-judgemental, friendly, fun and honest way about her. I do believe she is trying to find the right person for her…which is a good person at heart. If she ends up with either of the 3 left, I think she will have made a good choice.
PS - Ryan was clearly not her type. Cute, normal jock guy…but not the open minded, nonjudgemental person that Tila deserves. Go Tila!
November 28th, 2007 at 10:53 pm
I DONT THINK DANI SHOULD WIN, I THINK AMANDAS AMAZING.AMANDAS PARENTS ARE GREAT TAKING IN ALL THE SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS AND ALL THAT BUT AMANDA KEEP DOIN WHAT YOUR DOIN BABE AND YOU SHOULD SURE WIN!! AS FOR THE GUYS BOBBY SHOULD WIN AMANDA AND BOBBY ARE THE TWO MAIN COMPETETERS BUT BOBBY BRO DONT BE DUMB STAY COOL AND RELAXED.AMANDA ONCE AGAIN YOUR AMANZING AND VERY BEAUTIFUL AND YOU CAN ALWAYS COME TO SEE ME IF YOU DONT WIN HUN LOL!
November 28th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
honestly i think tila should be with dani she’s got the best of both worlds she just as masculine and rough as a dude but all the perks of a chick and ryan needs to be with me i like an agressive type a dude like that and jersey boys are crazy(i’m from manhattan so if he gets this tell him to holla)
November 28th, 2007 at 11:11 pm
DANI totally deserves Tila…..She has everything Tila needs!!! no matter if you are gay, bi, or straight how could you not want a firefighter….. hello thats sexy hot!!!! Dani also has the personality and compassion for her that is something i dont see in the other remaining 2… GO DANI
November 28th, 2007 at 11:12 pm
DANI…… is who you should pic…. i like bobby amanda is ok but dani is the right one for you….
November 28th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
DANI…. you have to pic dani….. i will seriously be heart broken if you dont pic her…
i will i have a 99.9 percent of crying if u dont pic her…… i think amanda should be the next person elimanated……. if you at all think dani isnt for you then pic bobby but please please pic DANI….. she is there for you tila…..
November 28th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
dani should get the final key ~~~~~~
i love her attitude and the way she treats tila!!!
plus her family loves her & tila together.
im totally straight but something about her just gets me …. she is hot
November 28th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
Dani is hot! None of the guys bring on the heat that Dani does. Tila is used to lipstick lesbians, but I think as a bi she has vasillated back and forth between men and women and Dani can bring her what she has been looking for all rolled up in one person. I also love that the guys Dani works with are totally in to her. They made a big point of telling Tila that she would be lucky to have Dani. Now that is hot!
November 28th, 2007 at 11:51 pm
Tila,
Dani is your soulmate and her family is your family through thick and thin! Amanda was on another show with her girlfriend who was butchy! I think Amanda just wants to be with you because you have money and fame! Come on Tila, you will get lost, you are about the size of one of her legs!!
Amanda is a dorment aggresive game player, she is a wolf in a big o sheep’s clothing!! I bet Amanda is still talking to that butch girlfriend of hers!!!
BEWARE of AMAZON AMANDA!
Love you Dani, this femme and many other femmes think your HOT!
November 29th, 2007 at 12:40 am
Dani is definitely the best of Tila…she has the best of everything…the best aspects of masculinity, but she’s also sweet, communicative, and caring as a girl. And she’s got a great smile. I’m totally straight…but she’s such a dream girl. Her family was awesome! I loved her grandmother! So open-minded and nonjudgmental for someone her age! She made me cry!!!
Amanda is a bit too fake for me…she’s trying to slam the other contestants. I loved her family a lot more than I liked her. Her family rocked!
Everyone’s families were great…a hell of a lot better than how my family would react!
Go Dani!
November 29th, 2007 at 12:52 am
PLease pick Dani she is the best! I’m a happily married woman to a man & would pick Dani she is so awesome & real the best one from the start … Wake Up TILA!!!!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 1:08 am
I think tila should pick Dani, she is just generally just a good person never starts fights, never gets in the middle of them, totally chilled out and cute as hell….and I am straight I think Dani would be the happiest with her present and future. She comes from a family the supports her and loves them with all their heart and I know they would treat her the exact same way and love her like she was their own.
November 29th, 2007 at 1:28 am
DANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DANI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m straight too, but i LOVE DANI! There’s no one better on the show. I’m not even sure Tila is good enough for her… someone like Dani needs to be WORSHIPED! Seriously.
Plus Amanda is known around here as ‘GIGANTOR’, and if she ever fell over and landed on Tila, Tila would die. And then Dani would be sad. And Dani MUST BE HAPPY!
November 29th, 2007 at 1:54 am
Tila,
I definitly think you should pick DANI!!! Shes the one that you need to be with!! shes the nicest one on the show. Her family is the one you got along with from the start. Exspecially granny!! lol Everybody said shes a “butch” but look now shes in the top 3 you should send bobby and amanda home their so fake..amanda is here for the fame and bobby is another guy here to say “im with tila!!” Pick Dani..Im straight but I tell my fiance every tues if I was a lesbian Id go for Dani!!!
Love
Ashley J
November 29th, 2007 at 2:02 am
I must say… this show is getting rather addicting!!! At first I wasn’t too sure about whether Tila would be choosing a male or a female… and it definitly seemed that if she DID choose a female that she would choose more of a girly girl like Amanda…. HOWEVER… I will admit that my opinion has COMPLETELY changed! I absolutly think that Dani would be PERFECT for Tila… She has more charisma in her pinky finger than all the others have combined… Her mother was right by saying that she is special… You can’t help but to love her once you’ve been exposed to her sweet personality… And she’s also quite beautiful!!! My vote goes to DANI!!! Even if Tila doesn’t give her the last key… she will definitly be very successful in whatever that she chooses to do! GOOOOOOOO DANIIIII!!!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 2:20 am
dani needs to win. go dani
November 29th, 2007 at 2:45 am
Dani you and your family are fantastic. The people who respect and cherish you are a direct reflection of the quality of your character and heart. Regardless of what occurs on this show, you are a winner. I feel so cheesy! I have never been inspired to write something on a blog before. I would set you up with any one of my girlfriends!
November 29th, 2007 at 8:16 am
I loved it that the Dani and Amandas families treated Tila the best. I know that it’s hard being accepted and not to feel like your such and outsider. She needs to be with a woman instead of Bobby. Dani is my favorite and hopefully Tila picks her. She would be crazy not to. If I had someone like Dani, I would be the luckiest person in the world.
November 29th, 2007 at 10:41 am
dominaco needs his own show i deffinatley would watch, he deserves love and he is very funny.
i love bobby and danni she needs to pick danni though she is wonderful.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:00 am
Since the beginning of the show I was going for Brandy…..but now she is gone and I cant believe that Tila didnt bring her back into the house. Makes me think that the show is fact and not real at all. Tila said herself that she knew if Brandy did stay that she would have continued to give her a key till she was the last one standing. She obvious had a lot of for Brandy and if this show is really about love then she would have taken her back……….
Aside from that…..I think Amanda should go….I only seen her have one on one with Tila like twice and she looks like a MAN!!! Doesnt really matter to me who wins out of Dani and Bobby. They both seem really cool. I dont think Dani is permiscious as Amanda says but it did seem like she had a little thing for Brandy!!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 11:10 am
i cant believe it that tila gives a lap dance to a Dani’s grandma on the show to meet their family
November 29th, 2007 at 12:29 pm
My vote is for Dani she seems to be the most real, compassionate, person. Go Dani….Like your fellow firefighter said it would be an Honor for Tila to be with her.
November 29th, 2007 at 1:55 pm
oh Dani is the one. if she goes, i am turning it off. i don’t get hooked in these shows (usually) but I am really caught up!
November 29th, 2007 at 2:12 pm
I just read through all of these blogs and I must say that Dani/Danny(sp?) is pretty cool. But, and this is a big but — it is so apparent that Tila and Bobby are in love!!! Their chemistry jumps off the screen. Tila likes and respects Dani/Danny the way you would like or respect a friend. Tila is attracted to and is won over by Bobby the way you would by a soulmate. Do I like Dani/Danny? Absolutely, and without reservation. The love match, however, is with Bobby. Go Bobby!!!
November 29th, 2007 at 2:21 pm
I want Dani to stay only cause I want to keep watching her. I do NOT think she and Tila make a good pair. IMHO, Tila was disrespectful to most of the parents she met. Maybe it was just editing and I know shock value goes along ways in TV. But seriously is that how you act when you are really trying to start a relationship. If I would have been Bobby’s Mom , I would have knocked the crap out of her when she asked the younger son to wipe off her boob. And from my take on meeting Dani’s Grandmother. Grandma was asking Tila to sit on her lap , not give her a lap dance. Good Gawd. I mean Dani just got finish coming out to Grandma and Tila gives her a lap dance. And put some clothes on when you go meet these people. Don’t even get me started on the prayer at Ryans. I know I probably gonna get flack for my comments, but Geez.
November 29th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
i like both dani and bobby i really dont like amanda because to me she thinks she all that because when everyone was talking about how it was when tila met everyone parents amanda was like i think my date was better than everyone else like whatever loser but wish the best of luck for dani or bobby whoever get tila!!
November 29th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
i really wished ryan would have stayed. that was kinda out of line when he pulled tila upstairs with his parents and everyone still downstairs.but i m glad bobby is still there.
November 29th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Does ANYONE KNOW where Tila got that black sequin off the shoulder mini dress or top that she wore the night the two girls got into a fight?
November 29th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
Dani’s the %@%~! if she goes i’ll be so pissed! just keep it real homegurl!
