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!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:17 pm
that was so @%~@$%? stupid. I knew from the beginning she was gonna pick a guy, the girls were added just to get more viewers. Dani was the best person for her. I bet bobby and tila split already. Such a waste, get ready for a shot at love 2.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
i dont even know what to say anymore. im shocked. i legit cried. whatever. tila is dopeee and bobby is the biggest tool ever
December 18th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
I really think this is just another I love new york type of thing.. of course they always pick the wrong ones because they already have it planned out for another season.. all these shows are really starting to tick me off.. its pointless even watching them. And who knows.. maybe the contestants are actors as well. its just crap tho cause the ones you think are worth it and should win never do. waste of time once again..
December 18th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
MTV if your listening. Do a show with Dani as the one looking for love. I’d watch it!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
Dani, you rocked!! you are totally awesome, sorry that you didn’t win and im sure that you will find that SPECIAL someone to make you happy!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
tila- if you loved Bobbi so much, how come you could never articulate it…unlike Dani, who you said could “make you realize parts of yourself you never knew about before!”. YOu have millions of fans who are sooo disappointed tonight, who hoped you would chose the person of substance, who could teach YOU a few things in this world. Oh well, girl, best of luck- it’s your heart after all that needs to be fulfilled at the end of the day. Dani, you are set girl, as soon as your heart is on the mend… By the way, most people I know (including myself) prefer “I’m bisexual” not “I’m a bisexual”. It’s like saying “I’m a gay”.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
I cant believe you didnt pick Dani, how dumb are you, bobbi is a sweet guy and all but come on are you blind or just stupid!!! Well all well that ends well. Danni deserves better than you !!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
I am so disappointed in Tila. Dani was the one who should of been chosen. She is a wonderful, honest, sincere and beautiful person. What a let down when the majority of viewers could see what mistake that was made.
Dani good luck to you dont ever change you are a amazing person. Somewhere out there is the person for you!!! You made us feel as if we know you and we the viewers fell in love with you!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:20 pm
next show… a shot at brandi??
whaaattt.
i called it.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
i feel bad for dani but at the same time we should all be very happy for tila and bobby. in the end it comes down to who she had the better connection with. im still crying for dani though! i love you dani! you should have been the one!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:22 pm
dam… dani if your reading this i hope you find a real chick… not any girl who will brake your stunng heart. your an awsome chick
a BIG fan
December 18th, 2007 at 11:23 pm
Wow. Just wow. I’ve been watching this show since it first started and I always knew she would pick a guy and knew she would never pick Dani (”I usually go for lipstick lesbians.”) Out of all the people on the show, I think that Tila and Dani were the most compatible together. Poor Dani
December 18th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
I cant believe you didnt pick Dani I love her yall would have been perfect. Ill be your girlfriend Dani! YOur fine as hell!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
I really cannot understand why TT picked a young boy over an adult woman who has everything going for her! Dani was extremely respectful, even at the end when you dumped her. All Bobby did through all this was pout, act like a child, and show jealous streaks. That will be great for your career TT. A jealous two year old. I just hope this has not ruined Dani for other women. You really did a number on her, and blew her trust of anything that a woman will say to her now.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
THIS SUCKSS I WATCHED THE SHOW AND MEAND MY FRIENDS PLACED LIKE 100000000000000 TO .5 ODDS THAT dANI WOULD WIN. i REALLY THINK SHE WAS PERFECT, AND THEN THE WHOLE PHONE # THING THREW IT OVER THE TOP. DANI YOUR AWESOME JUST KEEP TRYIN AND YOU’LL FIND THE ONE RIGHT FOR YOU. TELA I’M NOT GOIN TO SAY ANYTHING HORRIBLE ‘BOUT YOU FOR THIS BUT YOU SERIOUSLY GOTTA WORK ON YOUR LOVER PICKING SKILLS!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
God Tila. Shes the example of all the “bisexual” girls today. only doing it for attention. I WANT A SHOW STARRING DANI! DANI LOOOVE!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:25 pm
WOW!! How can you not pick such a great person like Dani???? I hope they have A Shot At Love 2 with Dani.. I would sooo sign up for it…! Dani is Awesome!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:27 pm
Dani you are a great person! You seem real, genuine, sincere, compassionate, open, respectful and an all around wonderful person! I am sorry Tila did not pick you. You are a great person and you will find someone who truly cares for you as Dani. You are sexy as hell and you know what you want. What makes you awesome is you know who you are, what you want in life, where you are going and how you want to spend your life. Dani you have hopes, goals, dreams and ambitions, so never give those up for anyone… not even Tila! Bobby you are good looking, but you did not open as much as Dani. I hope it works out for you and Tila. Dani you can always put out my FIRE! LOL! Stay sweet and strong!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Dani should have a show- A SHOT AT LOVE WITH Dani!!! She deserves to find her soul mate. She is HOT!!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:29 pm
Tila messed up big time. She would have been better off with Vanessa than Bobbi
December 18th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Im SOO mad that she picked Bobby! So many people are pissed off about this. Im completly straight and i would have still had picked Dani. Dani, you were the best! You made the show. You are so much better then Bobby. Tila, i guess we’ll be seeing you soon on a shot at love 2.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:30 pm
Umm listen up tila, you totally dissapointed me tonight in ur final show. Dani was the one for you, even though bobby was awsome too and very hott, but dani deserved to win this, u need to rethink ur descison and go get dani, and lol u can send bobby to me if you want. Well just wanted to let you know that you should of picked dani but good luck with bobby!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:31 pm
OMGOMGOMG!! i AM SO PiSSED!! TiLA iS CRAZZZZYY! i WANTED DANi TO WiN SO BAD!! BOBBY’S MORE OF A CHiCK THEN SHE iS! i FEEL SO BAD. HOPE THE BEST FOR YOU! P.S. YOU’RE A HOTTiE! && i’M STRAiGHT
December 18th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
Go Dani! Be strong baby girl!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
ooahh mah i think hat Dani should defiantly have her own show.. nad about tila picking bobby over dani sure hes a guy but tila and Dani made the most conection i think,,, and i think that dani would be more perfect with tila1=!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Tila i can’t believe you did not pick Dani! she is hot, and seems like an awesome person. And her family was the best. wish you and Bobby luck.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
I’m glad Dani didn’t get picked cuz she needs a REAL gay girl to be with…
Tila picked a guy just to boost her career. Did anyone think she would actually pick a girl??
Dani was WAY too good for her. I hope you find the right woman who can treat you the way you treat others~you are so sincere~you deserve way better.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
I am so bummed that Tila did not pick Danny! Danny has such a great personality! She also seemed like a fine ass chick….well I don’t think Tila and Bobby will last…but goodluck with that…I can not believe a chick like Danny is single!! I wouldn’t mind a girl like that…Ms.Shay
December 18th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Tila,
If your read this than just know Most of us were rooting for the best of both worlds, cute, REAL, and down to Earth…DANI!!! You couldn’t have made a worse mistake, booby seems so plane jane. You should have taken a REAL shot at love and gone for Dani. It seemed like she was the most honest one on the show, and she seemed so heart broken on the show. Look what you’ve done. But i honestly wish you the best of luck with booby even if he’s not who i was rooting for. Just remeber the whole point of the show was to see who was right for you. And think about this…Was Booby really the best for you? Or should you have Taken that one shot with Dani?
December 18th, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Seriously? Why would she pick Bobby when she said herself, Dani was the best of both worlds? I knew she would pick Bobby, but I wanted her to pick Dani so bad! Poor, poor Dani
December 18th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
I am so mad… i really feel that she should have choose Dani. This just ruined my night. Now i am just holding on to the hope that bobby and Tila break up before the reunion show and Tila and Dani get back together. Remember, Tila has Dani’s number… they just might have been talking all along!!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
Dani….I LOVE YOU!!!! TT didn’t deserve you! You are my ideal woman Dani!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
This is where I’m confused. Why would Tila say “I love you” to Dani in the last episode when she obviously knew she wasn’t going to pick her? Playing with someone who has legitimate feelings for you is just wrong. Dani- you deserve so much better! I have no doubt you will find it. p.s. firefighters are hot!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
Tila, I think you made a big mistake; someone like Dani you find only once in a lifetime. Bobbi wants you for your fame and money. But I guess we all make mistakes in life, and hopefully we will learn from them. I wish you all the best Dani because you deserve it.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
My feince and I have watched the show since the begining and we were voting for Dani as well. I just hope that Dani finds someone that will not play games with her heart like Tila did. Girls Rule.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
MTV!!! YOU HAVE TO GIVE DANI HER OWN SHOW!!! she deserves it !!! and your ratings will sky rocket!!! Dani your the best!!! Thanks for being real… Good luck to you…
December 18th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
Tila, go back to the Dark Hair! long or short, it really doesnt matter, but the blonde is not for you!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
I was blown away by Tila’s decision not to pick Dani….Dani you are sexy, smart and strong!! Find a woman that is into women and women only! You deserve someone that is going to appreciate what you and your incredible family have to offer!!
I hope that MTV is smart and finds something for you to do so that the real lesbians that love watching you can continue to do so in the future.
If you ever come to NJ honey you can put out my fire anytime!! Happy Holidays too you…As for Miss TT Dani’s diamond was too big for your setting!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:36 pm
I can’t believe you didn’t pick dani! I love dani!! Thats so @$@$@?~$. Thats just crazy. Bobby was a bad person or anything..I just think Dani was right for you..not bobby. God that pissed me off so bad!! Dani should have her own show, she is hot…I vote for Dani and her own show!! Who is with me???
December 18th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
Omg!…I Freaking love Dani! I wish I could talk to her! ha…Dani you’re awesome and I freakin love you!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
OMG!!! What was you thinking? I am so madd that you picked BOBBY! You and Dani have such a great chemistry… the best of BOTH worlds! now you are no longer bisexual but straight! DANI WE LOVE YOU GIRL!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
Dani should have her own show and I want to be on it ill show Dani she dont tila. I CAN NOT BELIEVE TILA PICKED BOBBY WHAT IN THE HE*L WAS TILA THINKING!!!! Dani is awesome, so when is her show I want on it.
Nicci
December 18th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
Ok… Yea the final two were great! I mean dani really is a great person, but when it comes down to it.. bobby is sooo hot and a great guy. When you find a great guy you should hold on to them because more than likely you wont find another one.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:37 pm
hey tila if u are reading this i am a really big fan!! WHY DID’NT U PICK DANI?! that breaks her heart if there is shot at love 2 i would join but im too young for you, sorry i hope bobby is the one for you so you don’t end up like New York did from the “I Love New York” show
- A BIGGEST FAN YOU’LL EVER MEET IN YOUR LIFE!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
THAT ENDING RUINED THE ENTIRE SHOW!!! Why Would a girl tell the whole world she is a bisexual and then in the end pick a guy. It Doesnt make sence i think when tila looks back at the show she will relize that dani would have been much better. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING DANI IS SO MUCH BETTER… well i guess better girl will find her someday. She wont be on the market long!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
BOBBY B is so fine, AND DEFINATLY THE ONE FOR TILA TEQUILA!!!!!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
i love bobby. he deserved to win!
he is good looking, sweet, and caring. if he hadn’t have won, there would have been so many girs after him!
i’m so happy he won.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
I wish Tila and Bobby the best. I think it will be fun for them while it lasts, but Bobby is too jealous for Tila’s career style. I think Dani was a better match and I hope that she finds someone worthy of her and that Dani is happy. Hell, if I was single I would get with Dani myself.
December 18th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
I thought she would pick Dani but i figure Tila picked who she really wanted to be with and who she really wanted a future with ppl shouldnt hate on her, and hell she picked Bobby so that means dani is single!!!!
sure wish i knew her # lol!! Best of luck to everyone on the show… oh except for crazy Vanessa i think that chick needs serious help!
December 18th, 2007 at 11:39 pm
i CANNOT BELIEVE THAT TILA DIDN’T PICK DANI…I MEAN I FELL IN LOVE WITH HER…I WAS LITERALLY LOSING MY BREATH WAITING TO HEAR TILA’S DECISION AND WHEN SHE SAID BOBBI, MY HEART BROKE AND I STARTED CRYING…HOPEFULLY DANI WILL FIND SOMEONE BETTER FOR HER CAUSE SHE DESERVES THE BEST!!! AND P.S SHE IS HOTT!!!
