Now that season two of MTV’s bisexual reality dating series is well underway, the most popular lady in MySpace has gotten enough attention to land herself on the cover of Blender Magazine. The 27-year-old singer/reality celebrity recently flew to Atlanta to attend a gig at the nightclub Studio 72 and have a chat the with Blender Magazine’s Chris Norris, who described her as “a hentai Tinkerbell in a shimmering cocktail sheath.”
In the interview with Blender Magazine, Tila Tequila talked about how difficult it was growing up and her life now as one of the most popular reality TV celebrities.

In my first reaction article about this season of A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila, I noted that the first episode seemed actually watchable, a step up from what I was expecting.
Well, maybe the show got altitude sickness because this week, it happily clambered right back down to the depths of awfulness that I had dreaded.
The catchphrase “jumping the shark” has been (over)used for the past few years to refer to the point where a quality show ceases to be a quality show and goes off the rails. You can't really use this phrase for a show like A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila because the phrase presupposes a baseline of quality from which to decline. So maybe we need a different catchphrase for this kind of situation.
I propose that when a show goes from watchable trash to unbearably unwatchable, we now say it “ate the pig's vagina.”

Previously on A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila: The contestants played Strip Craps, one of the classier competitions this show has done. Kreepy Kyle avoided elimination because Venezuelan Christian was drunk 24/7, and Fame was sent home because she was named after her greatest ambition.
The Message in the Bottle informs the contestants it's time for Tila Tequila's Second Annual Bi-Athlon. The entire race must be run while wearing a wet suit and flippers, through a kiddie pool, into the real pool to retrieve a pearl necklace, into another kiddie pool to get an assigned blue ball in their mouths, and down the Slip 'n' Slide. Chad lets us know that women love his pearl necklaces. Either you get that joke or you don't, and if you do, hopefully it makes you love Chad as much as I do.

Last week on A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, the girls and guys moved into the mansion where they will further pursue Tila Tequila's attention. As expected, the entire group head for the bedroom's stocked bar to get the party started and the boys immediately began the “ask a lesbian” game, questioning the girls whether they are really just into women. Before things got too heated, Tila Tequila invited everyone to test out their luck at her casino, which involved a lot of stripping. As things got louder and crazier, the neighbors called in the cops. Of course, Tila Tequila saved the day by flirting her way out of the ticket. In the end, Tila Tequila chose to eliminate Fame because she did not appreciate her interrupting her one-on-one time with another contestant by singing, and Christian because he was always drunk.
Read on for this week's episode preview of A Shot at Love 2.

Last season, Tila Tequila “found” love with Bobby Banhart on A Shot at Love. A few months later, however, she lost love as she broke up with him. This season, the MySpace sensation is back for another round of the bisexual-themed reality dating show, and this time, she has a better understanding of what she's looking for.
While Tila Tequila has 15 straight men and 15 lesbians to choose from on the second season of A Shot at Love, the 26-year-old reality TV starlet has also welcomed the possibility of finding love with “butchy girls,” something she never really imagined before.

We are now two episodes into A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila 2, and right now, with 18 men and women still vying for Tila's heart – or other things in her general chest region – things are a touch…chaotic.
It's like summer camp, if summer camp had a) strippers and their clientele, b) an authority figure who is less than 5 feet tall and extremely encouraging of shenanigans and c) an unlimited supply of alcohol.
At this point, my reactions to this mess are about as chaotic as the show itself, so here are some brief thoughts I had while watching this episode of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila 2?
