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 2nd, 2007 at 3:38 pm
I’m pulling for Dani…or Bobbi. Amanda noway! Im surprised she has lasted this long. Sure shes pretty until she opens her mouth and speaks. What makes her think she had the best family date with Tila. I think Tila will see it when she starts talking crap about Dani in the next episode. Theres noway she will win. Dani is cool and very real. If she doesn’t win then after the show she should have no problem with finding someone else! I think its really cool how many people like her. I hope she reads all of these so she knows! Good luck Dani!
December 2nd, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Ok, so trashy or not I’ve been a big fan of the show and for some reason it just seemed genuine to me, more so than the Bachelor and some of those other reality romance shows. Which is why I was upset to read recently that the show is reportedly fake. According to Page Six, Tila has been in a heterosexual relationship for over a year and ISN’T actually bi. She has kissed girls and done photo shoots with women in the past but is not bi. If this is the case this will definitely make a lot of viewers upset. If it is fake I’m also wondering if the contestants are in on it as well because that does not seem right at all to mess with people’s emotions like that. Let me know if anyone else has heard this rumor.
December 2nd, 2007 at 4:05 pm
I reall y want to see Tila with a Dani as well I belive that they will go far together Tila has alot to learn as well as Dani and I think that they can teach each other while loveing each other in the process.
December 2nd, 2007 at 4:46 pm
No I have not heard that rumor. Where did you read that? If thats true I too will be mad. What is the point of reality TV if its not real.
December 2nd, 2007 at 7:40 pm
I FREAKIN LOVE DANI….. THINK SHE ROCKS!!!! I THINK SHE IS KIND AND GENUINE AND WOULD MAKE TILA VERY HAPPY, I DID HEAR THAT THE SHOW IS FAKE, IF IT IS AND DANI IS SINGLE CALL ME!!!LOL!!! BOBBY SEEMS TO CLOSED TO WIN, HE HAS NOT REALLY OPENED UP, I THINK! AMANDA IS NOT RIGHT EITHER, I THINK SHE IS TRYING TO BACK STAB EVERYONE TO WIN AND IF SHE WERE THE RIGHT ONE SHE WOULDN’T HAVE TO DO THAT!
December 2nd, 2007 at 8:01 pm
dani i think you are awesome!!! love you!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 2nd, 2007 at 9:54 pm
Dani you are the best!!! Your family is great and I think you are just so down to earth and deserve something great!!!
December 2nd, 2007 at 10:02 pm
poor tila all the parents were rude to her but not danis I hope she picks the right girl or boy.
December 2nd, 2007 at 11:31 pm
I think that everyone that is remaining on the show are all very good for Tila and I hope the best person wins. Dani, such a sweet person. Bobbi, very nice guy and down to earth. Amanda, different but also another great person. I wish them all the best. I still cannot believe that my favorite is gone, Domenico. I am you biggest fan and I think you are the biggest sweetheart EVER, not to mention so DAMN CUTE. If you ever want to come to the east coast I promise I will show you everything and anything.
ciao
You are a star…my star.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:40 am
i HOPE TiLA PiCKS DANi i FREAKiN LOVE HER!!!!
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:41 am
Honesty, I don’t think Tila is good enough for Dani!
December 3rd, 2007 at 2:19 am
Hey I’m a Bi guy and I think Tila was foolish for letting Mr. hot stuff Ryan go that boy made my dreams come true ! really enjoyed watching him and his fine ass on the show and I really hoped he’d win the prize but maybe next time…
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:33 am
I’m also for Dani. Tila says she likes when guys can be tough, Dani being a firefighter and having muscles can be both tough and gentle. Go Dani.
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:41 am
does anyone know where Tila got that off the shoulder black sequin blouse she wore in that elemination with brandi and that other girl when they got into that fight?
December 3rd, 2007 at 11:39 am
This show better not be fake! I’ll be pissed if it is. I’m actually for the first time very intruiged by a reality show, and am so glad that @**@ and bisexuals get the recognition they deserve. Yeah I’ve loved Dani from the start! I think Tila is really into Bobby, though I can’t see why. I think if she were to pick a guy on the show Ryan would have been a better choice. He seemed more genuine and was hot as hell. And as for Amanda…I think she’s cool in her own way but Dani is definately the coolest and most down to earth on the show. GO DANI!
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:41 pm
I think Dani is so HOTT! I hope Tila doesn’t hurt her.
December 3rd, 2007 at 12:46 pm
i really hope Dani wins…at first i was pulling for brandi, but after she walked out when things got tough, i’m glad she left..Tila deserves better than that…I think Dani would be great for her…she can be sweet and gentle, but with her background as a firefighter, i think she can be tough when needed to be…i also think Dani’s family had the most positive influence on Tila…so good luck Dani!!! and yeah i heard the rumor too about the show being fake…and if it is..i will be so pissed..i agree…whats the point in having a reality show if its not real??
December 3rd, 2007 at 3:18 pm
Everybody in my house thinks dani should when and I hope she does…Amanda no chance sorry…Bobby same to you…I think Tila is right there is alot to learn about Dani and the more she learns the better it will get!
December 3rd, 2007 at 3:35 pm
I love the show,it is the only one I actually can’t wait to see …I hope Dani is the one that won because I think amanda is as fake on the inside as she is on the inside. I think bobby is way too jellous for tila and would drive her crazy after a while .Dani on the other hand seems to have a good head on her sholders and seems to be down to earth .she knows what she wants and like her buddie down at the firehouse said “TILA WOULD BE THE LUCKY ONE TO WIN DANI” good luck Dani!
December 3rd, 2007 at 5:43 pm
I just wanna say that you are so funny i love watchin your show you are so sexy and OMG DANI man girl if i had that chance with her i think i would fall in love dani is so sexi
i love you dani
December 3rd, 2007 at 6:41 pm
I’m for Dani also! That girl is amazing. She’s so open, yet reserved and true at the same time. She’s got a down to earth great attitude and doesnt act better than anyone else. she’s confident but not cocky. and hot for a chick. (i’m straight) But my vote goes to Dani! may the best contestant win. =]
December 3rd, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Ohmigosh
I really hope that tila chooses Dani. She’s been out of drama the whole time.
December 3rd, 2007 at 8:46 pm
If Tila doesn’t want Dani, I’ll take her! She is so adorable.
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:26 pm
I love dani she is so hot! Tila if you dont pick her send her sexy ass to me! I LOVE YOU DANI!!!!!!
December 3rd, 2007 at 9:53 pm
mtv is a joke, in the news today said she has a boyfriend and that she is not even into women.dani should have her own show at least she has more class than tila
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:16 pm
Well obviously since they have a second casting call, she didn’t have sparks with anyone. She probably will pick Bobbi and realize he isn’t the one either…………
December 3rd, 2007 at 10:59 pm
Quite honestly, Tila is not even in the same league as Dani. I normally would not watch a show like this, but have been addicted to Dani since I first laid eyes on her while flipping through the channels. Unfortunately for me, I’m a straight guy… (my luck). I’ve noticed that a lot of women have posted comments… well Dani, here’s mine. You’re amazing and when you’re done with Tila (or women in general), let me know because I’ll be waiting. I’m a firefighter also. All the best…
December 4th, 2007 at 10:55 am
i really hope that it is not true about this being a hoax because it will hurt two very special women…i love both dani and amanda and hope the best for them (i am available) but to exploit them for more fame is just plain rotten business…please dont let this hurt those two fantastic women, but i would be happy picking up the pieces for them…good luck
December 4th, 2007 at 2:26 pm
I hope Tila chooses Dani because her family is the only one who asked Tila “What can you offer to Dani?” Dani is very caring and understanding and she is a genuine person. I think that Bobbi would be the only one who could offer Tila a future with a family but Dani would treat Tila the best. Dani almost deserves better than Tila, and I think Tila respects her the most.
December 4th, 2007 at 2:27 pm
My teen girls have gotten me addicted to this show! I keep watchng because of Dani. At first I wanted to see her win, because she is so genuine. HOwever, now I realize I don’t want her to win, because I don’t think TT is serious about this. I also think she is not classy enough for Dani! I was very impressed with Dani’s family also. They are a true example of unconditional love that families should have for each other! I agree with Dani’s co-worker, TT is the one that should feel honored that Dani even gives her the time of day! Dani I wish you the best in life! You are the kind of person that would make a great friend. I have daughters that would absolutely love to meet you! You set a great example for young people with your great personality and mannerisims! I’m happy they look up to you! Someone said to me the other day that they couldn’t believe that I felt that way since my girls our young straight teens and impressionable. I laughed and said I’d rather have them look up to a gay woman like you than any sleezy straight woman that can be found everywhere on MTV… Hint the other reality TV star on MTV looking for love right now! LOL Best of luck to you Dani
December 4th, 2007 at 2:35 pm
I think that Dani is the best contestant but Tila donesn’t deserve Dani. Tila would probably be best with someone like Amanda. They are a lot alike and Amanda could keep up with Tila. Dani deserves a great person. Good luck Dani in everything you do!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
My vote is for Dani all the way. She is so compassionate and caring! She seems to be very genuine, and her family is amazing to be so supportive of her! Especially grandma!!!! My grandmother would have fainted!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:35 pm
DANI is Very HOTTIE and sets an amazing role model for young women because not that she’s not into men but that she is strong and very determinded. she has always been our favorite character throughout the show. If Tila doesn’t pick her then it’s her loss because Dani is a Fire-woman which makes her very protective and I am sure she would always be there for her and her family seems very suited as well. GOOD LUCK DANI!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:58 pm
I completely Adore Dani, she’s real, sweet, and thoughtful. She really thinks about the person she likes and thinks about who would make them happiest. However, Dani start thinking about your own happiness because you completely deserve it love. If I were a few years older I would be after you in a heartbeat.
December 4th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
I love the show and i hope she really pick Dani bcuz she’s really down the earth girl and have class. Sometimes i think Dani is too good for Tila But in the end I hope she choose her!!! I would hate tila if she didn’t cuz Dani can do better anyway.
December 4th, 2007 at 5:53 pm
Tila is hot! She can shake her butt in my face any day. Besides that, I’m all for Dani and Tila. I’m totally team Dani and I hope she wins Tila’s heart! She’s so sweet and they make a cute couple.
December 4th, 2007 at 7:26 pm
I love Dani ! ! ! Everytime I watch I almost have a heart attack because I am affraid Dani might go home. If it’s true that TT has a boyfriend and made this whole bi thing is a joke I’ll be pissed. I love you Dani ! ! !
December 4th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
Well my vote is for Dani, she is the realist person on there and anyone could see she is the only there for Tila. As far as there being another shot at love, i thought it said with a new bachlorette? I hope so, cause i will be very upset if she hurts Dani. And if Tila has a boyfriend and this is a hoax to get viewer ratings up I will not watch MTV again and i have been since 1985 or so. Tila if you are out there and reading this, pick Dani. Good luck
December 4th, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Amanda!
I really hope Tila picks Amanda, I love Dani and all, but for Tila’s lifestyle I feel like Amanda would be the best pick for her, she really fits.
Dani is an amazing girl, but after awhile, I don’t think she could put up with Tila’s fast, agressive, and busy lifestyle. Amanda would be 100% THERE for her.
I LOVE AMANDA!!
I’d totally take her if Tila didn’t
December 4th, 2007 at 8:52 pm
I love Dani. Amanda is so fakey. Bobbi is hot, but boring. Dani is sexy, strong and should be the one.
December 4th, 2007 at 9:45 pm
Dani is not only sexy beyond belief, but it is completely apparent that she is loved, respected and protected by both her biological family and her work family. I am a high-femme lesbian, and Dani represents the total package for me. Tila should choose her for a million reasons, but I think that by choosing Dani she might be able to satisfy her need for the best aspects of both men and women. If Tila does not understand this and does not choose Dani it will be Tila’s loss.
December 4th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
Dani is the perfect match for Tila. If Tila gets rid of her I will take her. I am straight, but she is sooo sexy.
December 4th, 2007 at 9:55 pm
Dani is the ONE throughout the whole show she has stayed true to herself. She’s not into the games and drama and she’s the only one who is REAL.
December 4th, 2007 at 9:58 pm
Dani is the ONE! She is the only one on the show who is REAL she dosent get involved in all the drama and BS and she won’t compromise who she is to get Tila.
December 4th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
AMANDA!!!! SHE IS THE PERFECT MATCH FOR TILA!!! BOBBY IS SOO NOT FOR HER!!! DANI AND AMANDA ARE GOOD FOR HER BUT IF I HAD TO PICK ONE I’D PICK AMANDA FOR HER!!! IF TILA DOESNT TAKE AMANDA HOME I WILL AND I AM DEAD STRAIGH!!! LOL
December 4th, 2007 at 10:46 pm
I think you should pick Dani!!! She Seems Most compatiable and trust worthy!!!
December 4th, 2007 at 11:06 pm
I absolutely love Dani! I really hope she picks her! Does anyone else agree?
December 4th, 2007 at 11:16 pm
DANI is the ONE! She seems like she totally wants the best for her no matter what. I think its true what Dani feels for her.
December 4th, 2007 at 11:18 pm
ROCK ON Dani! you are sooooo right for her! and if she doesnt pick you, its her loss! you are truly a genuine person and if she goes for bobby you will have so many doors open for you, there are many of us that would ?*?%## you up in a second!
December 4th, 2007 at 11:35 pm
PICK DANI!!!! Bobby’s just weird. Dani is genuine and thoughtful and caring and that’s what you need TILA.
