Another trainwreck of Reality from the US
aussiefilmlover2 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This show is great watched drunk with a pack of girlfriends in one sitting. If you didn't think all men are tools this show will do the trick. The "star" Tila is a gay for pay stripper looking girl who is a soft porn girl. From the get go it's clear that her biggest fan base for her website is frat boys and other assorted frequent whank boys who have more internet girlfriends than real ones and the spectrum of loser boys are here from dumb country boy, odd hip hop model boy, a selection of flavours of frat boys with the small time boy as well as the jersey rich boy making an appearance. The fact that straight girls find them attractive is proof why breeding still occurs and the gene pool keeps on getting dumber. It's pretty clear that she will pick a boy or lose her dollars and that girl and her horribly fake boobs are all about the dollars.

The girls on the other had are mostly the same, bisexual ex and current strippers with a handful of real lesbians thrown in. Most the girls that don't have faces full of caked on makeup are eliminated quick and with the exception of the one girl who is almost butch but still wears eyeliner they are all butterface who are happy to get drunk and flirt with everyone. The premise that these are gold star lesbian soon abandoned. I only wonder if they went with bi girls because real lesbians had higher standards or if they wanted to keep up the myth that any girl can be turned by pene.

The show is horribly fake but Tila is a damn good actress because it is clear that all these poor suckers fall for her or at least get obsessed with making her their possession. The show makes for excellent drinking games with shots for every time a frat boy makes a homophobic comment or someone says how much they like Tila. chug it when there is any kind of stir-up between drunken or stupid contestants.

it get a star for the only lesbian on the show, Dani, a star for managing to get you drunk in 30 minutes and a star as an other example of American culture.

Tila Tequila is attractive and girls make out......not much of a show.
TOMNEL16 December 2007
This is the worst reality show I have ever seen. The only reason anyone would watch this show is because they find the people on it attractive or their mentally retarded. Tila Tequila apparently thinks of herself like a goddess, because 6 straight men and 6 lesbian women are trying to fall in love with her. Along with that, we get how loose she is when she makes out with all of them. It's ameuterish looking and belongs as an internet show, or none at all. Hormonally active teens or lonely men will enjoy it for it's nonstop cleavage and lesbian make outs, if anyone else enjoys it, it's a miracle.

My rating: Awful Show.

Tila is about as sexy as Yoda...
fedor85 March 2008
I just saw about ten minutes of this garbage, and couldn't believe the cretinous premise: which boy or gal will (supposedly) get to screw a porn midget named Tina - a Vietnamese equivalent of a Barbie doll, I guess.

Tina Nguyen is your typical fake-nose, crooked-legged Playboy/stripper/porn bimbo, so if you're into that kind of mangy/syphilitic look, then have a ball watching this semi-staged nonsense. MTV has become something of a symbol for a world knee-deep in reveling in its own dumbing-down, but "who's gonna screw Tina?" surprised even me with its banality, laughably obvious phoniness, and cringe-worthiness. (Germans call it "Fremdscham"; the strange feeling of shame you get from watching others make utter idiots of themselves.) MTV has almost single-handedly destroyed music, and now seems to be hell-bent on finishing off what little there is left in the heads of already brainwashed teenagers. That channel almost makes me believe in conspiracy theories.

Besides, Tina is not only not cute, she is repulsive. One would think that the producers would at least make a semblance of an effort in finding an "object of desire" that resembles a beauty... There are fat and bald truck-driving serial-killers who would refuse to pull over to pay 5 bucks to have this woman perform her sexual services in their vehicles on them.

I can only guess what's next. A reality show about fellatio? Or maybe a show about cannibalism, perhaps? The winner gets to eat the host who gets sexually excited at the thought of being cooked and devoured. Or perhaps the next premise will be to have 12 volunteers from which the winner will get to fulfil his/her lifelong dream of eating the poop that exists the derriere of Paris Hilton's favourite mutt. It may sound as if I'm ranting and raving, but the rate at which average intelligence is slipping in the Western world, nothing cretinous seems impossible anymore. It's just a matter of time...

Ms.Nguyen must have picked out her winner very early on. So what's the point...?

"A strange creature she is. Why an MTV show a clone of mine uses in order money to make, know not do I. A sister perhaps separated from birth with me she is? Hmm, think about this mystery have to I shall..." (Master Yoda Nguyen)

She is not the queen of the internet!
thebestceleb7 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
She is not the queen of the internet! Who gave her this title? I am a cyberspace regular, since the first Apple Computer and never heard of her until the ads came on M.T.V. for the show. I gave it a chance by watching a couple of times - and WOW! I cannot believe that American Television is now showing PORN during Prime Time Television. MTV has now been blocked from viewing on my cable box in our home. There are some shows that I enjoyed viewing on MTV, but not anymore. I have teenagers and do not want them looking at trashy television. Thank God we have this BLOCKING feature. "This TILLA girl is a disgrace to us women and to her Family (her poor parents)." The show is not real anyway - she will probably not find true love - its just a money & ratings show." I DO NOT want my kids watching this! Gradually MTV will slowly loose it's audience and maybe then they will get the hint and hire DECENT PRODUCERS!

Anything but real... "reality"? Please...
CylonBaseship-128 November 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Tila's real last name is Nguyen. Talk about a confused individual with a bizarre life so far- Nguyen was born in Singapore, after her family emigrated from Vietnam, after the Vietnam War. When Nguyen was age one, she and her family moved to Alief, a suburb of Houston, where they lived until they were admitted to a gated community run by a strict Buddhist temple. The family left the community when Nguyen was eight. As soon as she entered middle school, Nguyen developed a tomboy attitude (from strict Buddhist teachings to tomboy?) and got in fights (what a sweetheart!). Her behavior eventually got her sent to a boarding school for six months (not hardly enough) before being transferred to another school. As soon as she reached high school, she used her sister's identification card (theft, Tila, or with sister dear's encouragement?) to enter nightclubs, where she began recreational drug use (oh, yummy, yummy- here's a good role model for all you teeny-boppers watching MiniBrainTv)and joined a gang (oh how innocent she is...). In an interview with Import Tuner, Nguyen said she had been searching for a sense of identity: "I was really confused then, 'cause at first I thought I was black, then I thought I was Hispanic and joined a cholo gang". (A Vietnamese born in Singapore, in a Buddhist-run gated community in Texas of all places, thinking she's black, then Hispanic, then joins a gang? Real intelligence here...especially joining a gang to "find herself".) Later she made some friends outside the gang who briefly helped turn her life around, however her past caught up with her, and she fled to Queens, New York at the age of sixteen.********* Now, this was from Wikipedia, not me, but you get enough of the drift. The show sucks, not only because it is yet another overdose of angst, failure, tears, fights, all about another "who cares?" subject matter, but imagine all the idiots who are deadening their gray matter by repeatedly sitting thru this charade. The house looks like it's Hef's old party room, the "contestants" are largely sorry individuals, made to look even more pathetic than they already were, & Tila Nguyen (Tequila, yeah, right!) is full of smiles, false hopes, short, cute but dumber than the show, & if you look around the internet you can easily find naughty photos of her as Nguyen, apparently before somebody decided to hide her sorry (already, even though short) past. Her "concern" for the guy who went for the ambulance ride was a hoot. Ditto her standing idly by when various fights broke out. (Oh me, oh my- whatever could have caused this!) I confess to seeing 2 sorry episodes, not knowing it was a ratings sweep month "Miniseries", apparently. MTV has long been known to me by its real designation for all its loyal viewers- MiniBrainTv, 'cause that's what's required to watch the garbage spewed from it- this is a prime example of current rotten excuse for American TV. Makes Gilligan's Island & The Beverly Hillbillies look like Nature & Nova. Tila, I wouldn't want you for anything. See a shrink if you're still confused. "Contestants", leave now, never admit having been there- find a real person to find true love with. Show creators/writers/et al, give it up. You're probably the same morons who gave us those swimming images on what became called "music videos". Ruined movies, TV series... look at a John Ford film sometime- he would tell you to never move the camera. You idiots did the exact opposite, like maybe you were/are on drugs. Speaking of drugs- recreational, Tila? Try softball, volleyball, badminton, swimming... that's recreation. Love, by the way, is something a totally mixed-up person such as yourself could never hope to find. It isn't found thru grotesque contests involving lame sorry individuals on TV. Certainly not by yo-yos eating testicles or whatever the idiots were upchucking! Congrats to MiniBrainTv execs for pulling a new low in shows- you've sunk lower than the Titanic with this sub-teen tripe! Jerry Springer must have thought this one up.

A waste of budget!
jackoplay4 May 2009
I wish, I could give a minus infinite score to this show.

With all the crisis going on in the world and people wastes TV budgets on crap like this.

This dead air time (because it doesn't even deserves being call "TV Show") show no moral values despite the fact that is shown in a teenage channel. Our kids are already facing tons of problems and dilemmas with their lifes and dark future. With our planet strogling with poor economy and war and this is the best some people can come up with???

MTV deserves to be shut down, but not due to this show, because all of the shows that has today.

By the way its name is Music Televition... where is the music.

A true piece of a broken gem.
jak-stiid29 July 2009
Warning: Spoilers
You may have heard her songs. You may have seen her in magazine shots. You may have added or saw her MySpace page. She is Tila Tequila, possibly one of the most recognizable faces on the internet scene.

I am surprised how atrocious this program is. It is just like any MTV reality show in terms of sexual moments, non-stop censored profanity, somewhat dramatic and the use of very, yet poorly made, intense music to pump our blood on something that was finished filming a year before it was aired, which is pretty long to film one, terrible season.

How clichéd is it when it is time to kick contestants off? Well, it is quite obvious. If it's for guys, they would slowly express their feelings for Tila. And for girls, they would just immediately burst into tears and rant to get another chance even though they're despised by other contestants including viewers like me.

In short, I don't have much to say about this program. It focuses too much on Tila's bisexuality so MTV can win more viewers, which works, but I'm glad the series is over.

Why is it over? Because no one REALLY won the two seasons. First winner's relationship was immediately over before the series premiere and the second winner fails to accept.

Tila Tequila on Stuffmagazine.com
snowkatz9 October 2007
Warning: Spoilers
On the commercial she says she's a bisexual. It doesn't get much better than that but check out her photos here. With the world's most popular MySpace page, Tila Tequila has taken over the Internet. And now this four-foot-eleven spitfire is poised to conquer MTV with her new show One Shot At Love with Tila Tequila! I wonder what happened to actual video's on mtv. BUT if they keep putting her on TV I'll keep watching. Just keep that flavor flav dumbass off of mtv. Hot chicks in bikinis please.

Your shot at love has ended.
lastliberal5 December 2007
Wow! This is definitely an interesting twist on reality programming.

Anyone who is aware of what is going on in MySpace knows Tila Tequila. It's a little hard to miss her if you keep up with pop culture.

Now, she has a show that pits the guys against the girls in a battle of love. Oh, yeah, we've seen that before. The twist here, however, is that all of the girls are lesbians. Tina declares herself bisexual and the lesbian girls have to live with and battle the straight guys for her affection.

The first episode is an indication that this will be a hot show. The parade of girls in their sexy outfits was amazing. I wish there was something equally amazing to say about the guys, but the testosterone display at the beginning sort of put them behind, in my opinion.

Is Tina bisexual? Based on the first show, I doubt it. She was definitely more into the women. We'll see as the show progresses.

Very entertaining with plenty of drama
TwistedVixen6728 January 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I'm not usually a fan of reality TV but this show was an exception. For me, Tila was an interesting enough person to keep me glued to the TV and completely entertained the entire time, leaving me wanting more once it's over. There are lots of surprises and twists and plenty of drama, including several fights. I really love the unique 'will she pick a guy or a girl' twist on the otherwise overdone dating show theme and getting to see Tila make out with a bunch of different girls is a definite bonus. Plus, in the group of daters, you will find several people who are genuine enough to make you care and Domenico provides a good amount of comedy. The show is a nice mix of drama, heart and laughs, though it dose have the typical reality show structure. Overall, I throughly enjoyed it and wish more reality shows were this good, which in this case, is probably thanks to the charming Tila.
