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 12th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
if you don’t choose danni, i’ll take her, i’m in FL too.
December 12th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
I am straight but I still think that you should choose Dani I think that she is the best fit for you.
December 12th, 2007 at 10:08 pm
Tila, if you don’t pick Bobby, send him my way! He’s hot and completely in love with you! He’s such a nice and sweet guy. I’m in love…
Pick Danni so I can have Bobby for myself
December 12th, 2007 at 10:22 pm
I think Teila should choose Bobby. I think SHes so much in love with Bobby.
December 12th, 2007 at 10:30 pm
I think that you should pick DANI!!! I really like her (I am happily married) but there is just something about her and her family that is there. You should go with your heart and I just wanted to leave my opinion. Good luck!
December 12th, 2007 at 10:38 pm
First, I have to say Tila you are awesome and I love. I could say so much more but i rather not on this website! you are just too cute and i hope that you are happy in whatever you do! but i wish i was on this show i would of rocked your world! well love goodluck!
December 12th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
Tila I hope you followed your heart and picked Bobby! Your chemistry and attraction to each other was very obvious. On top of that Bobby is so hot and sexy and madly in love with you. Romantic nights under the skies in Cancun with a hot man - every girl’s dream!
December 13th, 2007 at 12:20 am
I really think you should choose Dani. She’s so kind and down to earth. She seems to understand your occupation and that people will always flirt with you. Bobby on the other hand can’t seem to stand it. Bobby told you early on that he loved you but judging from the kind of person Dani is, I think her finally saying it on last episode just shows that she was in it for all the right reasons. She’ll find somebody special even if it isn’t you, Tila.
December 13th, 2007 at 12:42 am
tila, pick bobby he so sweet and innocent and he obviously is head over heals for you… who wouldn’t be. whoever you decide to be with, i wish the best
December 13th, 2007 at 12:45 am
ayeee. I just wanted to say i hope that you tila choose whomever makes you happiest.but i believe dani is the best contender and will be everything you want and more. I have fallin completely in love with your show and it shows no matter how loved you may be by millions it doesnt make you any less lonely for love, the real thing. HOPE YOU FIND WHAT YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR!
love you,ashley
December 13th, 2007 at 12:59 am
I hope you find the one that your heart picks becouse you are truly the only one who knows you you love so good luck i hope you find your one and only love i will watch to see the results
December 13th, 2007 at 3:49 am

December 13th, 2007 at 7:21 am
Where the heck is the latest episode “One shot too many”? I want to watch it!!!
December 13th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Tila! I think you should choose Dani. she is the sweetest thing ever!! she is sincere and has the biggest heart and in the end that’s exactly what you need. someone who can be your supporter and your rock when you need her and sorry but…… Bobby is too much of a boy. he can’t handle you. DANI CAN!!!!! I love DANI!!!!!
She HAS to win!!! if you are looking for love, then DANI is your match!
December 13th, 2007 at 11:08 am

December 13th, 2007 at 11:12 am
Tila, I think you should pick Dani!!!!!!! She is as beautiful inside as she is on the outside. I think Bobbi is great too, but Dani seems to fit you. I’m bi but also a mom with a husband. GOOD for you to explore all your options instead of following society’s rules!!!
December 13th, 2007 at 12:04 pm
Hey Tial,
My name is ashley and i really think u
should pick b/c shes beautful and her family is
really cool. My g/f sara and i love you and dani so much and if u dont pick her then i will hehe. DANI WE LOVE U….:*
December 13th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Hey Tila, you should pick Dani, she seems like such a down to earth person and you really deserve someone like that. Love the Show!
December 13th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
I really like Dani! She’s very sweet, supportive, and not jealous!! I think she’s the one!!!!!
December 13th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
i love dani’s grandmother she is so so cute!
December 13th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
I have been watching the show since it first started and I really belive that Danni is the best ‘mate’ for Tila. Danni is honest, funny, caring and outgoing. Bobby seems to shy for Tila, but who ever Tila picks is the right one for her. Good luck Tila
December 13th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
OK I LOVE DANI! IF SHE DONT TAKE HER I WILL!
December 13th, 2007 at 9:27 pm
Dani is awesome! I totally love that chick! I would be so lucky to have such a chill, funny, sincere person in my life! And the cool thing about her is, even if things didn’t work out romantically, she would be a hell of a lot of fun to kick it with as friends….Bobby’s a weirdo that doesn’t handle competition well…and I know he would turn out to be BORING in the end…plus he’d be jealous everytime he wasn’t the center of attention…no one needs to deal with a guy like that!
December 13th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
I have watched every episode of the show. I think that Tila should pick Bobby. Both Bobby and Dani are great matches but you have to look at the long term picture. Dani is content with her life. She has a career which is very time consuming and she is loyal to that. Tila is in the entertainment industry which sends her all over. Bobby could learn so much from Tila. They are both able to show each other new things and they look so cute together. I love Dani but I just don’t think that they would have a real future together.
December 13th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
i think dani is a-mazing! I have a friend just like Dani in the sense that they’re both “dykes” but seriously, those people are the funniest ever!! I mean, Dani is wayyyyyyyyy too real for Tila to get rid of. Bobby’s family doesn’t even really like Tila…there should be a protest if Dani doesn’t get chosen. lol, jk. Tila will make the right decision…
December 13th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
WE LOVE DANNI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 13th, 2007 at 10:48 pm
Tila you NEED DANI! watchin finally tuesday dont miss it! Tila your so sexy and i really wish Brandy hadnt left cause the show would have been so easy for you, ya know with picking who goes. all you got to do is eni meni mini mo all of em but Brandy and you’ll know who’s going lolz! Brandy was so sexy and it broke my heart to see you cry when she left, Tila. : (
December 14th, 2007 at 1:28 am
I really think bobby is the right one for her, in my opinion… hes super hott and supper sweet if she dosent take bobby i will!!!!
December 14th, 2007 at 2:06 am
HEY I THINK U SHOULD PICK DANNI SHES SO HOT N SWEET
December 14th, 2007 at 2:28 am
I was straight until I seen Danni, she is super hot! Smoochies Danielle
December 14th, 2007 at 4:06 am
omg. i LOVE this show. I think she can’t go wrong either way with Bobby or Dani. I’m bisexual too and they are both hot, but I think Dani is better for her. Can I have who she doesn’t want?
December 14th, 2007 at 4:08 am
or can I have Tila?
December 14th, 2007 at 9:15 am
Dani is awesome..I have been watching the show since it first started..I was straight until I got to know Dani “Now I’m bisexual” LOL But I think Bobby seems to be too jealous, and that’s not good for her…I hope she see that….Good luck Tila, We love you!!!
December 14th, 2007 at 3:04 pm
omg i love you show its so freken intrusting man you have some cute guys on there
December 14th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
Danni or Bobby? Lets see Danni is a firefighter from Florida is she going to move to Cali to be with Tila? I doubt it Bobby seems like the more realistic match IMO. For everyone else only Tila knows who she thinks is best for her not all the Danni cheerleaders here. The prospects of either
relationship working are not good. Flavor of Love,
I love New York. And the 3 married couples who had
MTV reality shows all got divorced. Jessica Simpson and Nick, Travis Barker and his wife, Dave Navarro and Carmen Electra.
December 14th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
uh….I’m NOT GAY…but Dani makes me want to be a lesbian SOOOOOO bad. Oh…those arms, that smile, what is not to love…shhh don’t tell my husband! Oh yeah, not all southerners, are freakazoids like that cray Ashley dude….he’s a teacher? are you freakin kiddin me. CRAZY! Shot @ Love ROCKS!
December 14th, 2007 at 4:31 pm
HEY MTV……Do “A SHOT AT LOVE WITH DANI” for next Season.!!! Wow, talk about Ratings. Everyone loves her!
December 14th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
i love this show. no offense to dani, but i think Tila should choose Bobby. He’s super cute and nice :]
December 14th, 2007 at 11:38 pm
like some of the others, im not bisexual or anything but Danni is freakin by far the best. A. she’s a firefighter and B. she’s the only one that hasnt started ANY drama. i would sooo pick Danni! She kicks everyone else’s ass!
December 15th, 2007 at 12:42 am
I have also watched this show from the beginning and also most of the reruns! It seems to me that even though some people think that Dani and Tila would not work out think about this:If two people are truly in love they not only can make it work, but they will make it work!I am as straight as they come but this show has really got my attention,and I do not judge others for their preferences!I say more power to you!!!
December 15th, 2007 at 1:21 am
I think tila should choose dani, just b/c she is more outgoing and loyal and the main reason she is not a a jealous person like bobby is as we all saw on the episode where they went to mexico and she had one on one dates with each person.
December 15th, 2007 at 3:16 pm
Hi Everyone,
It is so obvious that Dani is the one Tila should go with. Dani is the dream girl for every good little lipstick lesbian…heck butchy ones too for that matter….I usually prefer lipsticks myself. but Dani would and could change that…Hey Dani, sure you don’t have an older sister out there somewhere?
December 15th, 2007 at 6:51 pm
Well duh she should choose Dani. Dani has done nothing but be faithful to Tila, and on top of that she’s a big sweetheart. Bobby I think is nice too, but I can’t see Tila with him. He’s just kind of a ‘Homie’ type of guy.
Besides, with Dani Tila gets the best of both worlds. :]
December 15th, 2007 at 7:15 pm
HELLO, TILA I THINK U SHOULD PICK DANI SHE IS OWESOME!SHE REALLY WOULD TAKE CARE OF U PLUS SHE COMES FROM A LOVING FAMILY WHO WILL LOVE U 2.
December 16th, 2007 at 2:09 am
hey pick dani she is the one for you bobby is not what you think he is he acts innocent but dani is real and the one for you i hope
December 16th, 2007 at 3:11 am
Damn, that’s really gotta suck for Bobbi if she chose him…looking back on this blog it’s all about dani. “dani is the best, pick dani, blah blah blah” GO BOBBY!
December 16th, 2007 at 9:39 am
TILA PICK DANI SHE ROCKS AND I THINK SHE IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR !!
December 16th, 2007 at 12:02 pm
PICK DANI !!!!!1
December 16th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
pick dani you two are made for each other!!!!!!!!!!! (in my opinion)
December 16th, 2007 at 4:16 pm
Tila…PICK DANI!!!!her family treated you with the most respect and acceptance..Dani is sooo hot, sweet, genuine..she has the world ready for you and the love that you’re hoping for..don’t hurt Dani…she is awesome!!!Dani’s got my vote..110%
