MTV orders another round of Tequila
Natalie Finn
LOS ANGELES—Ladies and gentlemen, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila can
still be yours. MTV has ordered up another 10 episodes of the hit
bisexual dating show, in which another 16 men and women will vie for the
heart of self-made celebrity Tila Tequila.
The Dec. 17 first-season finale scored the cable network its largest
audience ever for an original series and the pioneering show has also
spawned a spin-off, That’s Amore!, featuring Shot at Love also-ran
Domenico Nesci, that will premiere in the spring behind new episodes of
its predecessor. Um, but didn’t somebody win that first season?
Tequila, still the “baddest bitch on the block,” according to her
MySpace profile, gave Bobby Banhart a shot at love, but apparently
things went wrong recently and the once-smitten fella broke up with her.
“I wasn’t expecting it at all because I thought I had finally found
someone that I was compatible with, but I guess I was wrong,” Tequila,
whose real last name is Nguyen, wrote Tuesday on her MySpace blog.
“My hectic schedule was really hard on him and we both were getting
frustrated, but at the same time…I just wanted to find someone who would
understand what a crazy lifestyle I have so it’s too bad that things
didn’t work out between us. With that said I just want to make it known
that I still think Bobby is a great guy and I wish him the best.”
But perhaps their breakup didn’t come as that much of a surprise to the
MySpace queen, who is known for being the most popular gal on the social
networking site. After picking Bobby, Tequila explained to her bummed
fans that she couldn’t pick runner-up Dani because the two ladies had
become “SOOOO close” that she didn’t want to ruin such a great
friendship.
“You know usually on these type of dating reality shows, things never
tend to work out in the end because it gets all weird and awkward
between 2 lovers...and so that is why I did not choose Dani as my lover,
but as my closest friend. This way we would never have to ‘END’ things
between us,” she said. |
