Well folks, it’s time for yet another reality dating show. This time around, however there is a clever little twist. Tila Tequila, of Myspace and self-promoted fame, is the star of MTV’s new show “A Shot at love with Tila Tequila.”

The formula is essentially the same: Six weeks, find love, contestants get eliminated, one will remain at the end, and there will be a reunion special where we discover the winner really isn’t interested. Sound familiar? The big twist in Ms. Tequila’s show is her opportunity to come out as a bisexual and have 16 lesbians square off against 16 straight dudes for her affection. This should be fun.

Tila Tequila, nee Tila Nguyen, shot to fame by becoming the most popular person on Myspace as of April 2006. She has modeled for Playboy, Stuff and Maxim. She also was the number one unsigned artist on Myspace. Through shameless self-promotion and half-naked pictures, Tila has really become internet superstar. Now with her own show, she is sure to become a reality television superstar. I have no doubt the clothing line will follow soon. Oops, there already is a clothing line.

There are some that are giving Tila the big thumbs up for breaking barriers and having a reality show that deals with alternative sexuality. While I’m sure that MTV appreciates being coined as “edgy,” the truth probably is the producers just ate up the idea of girls making out on TV. Does anything get better ratings? I don’t think so. The Christian Conservatives have bashed Tila for encouraging a gay lifestyle. They really don’t get that this kind of controversy only ups ratings even more.

I’m interested to see which way Tila ultimately swings. While I think most of the guys on the show are probably wetting themselves at the possibility of a threesome, most of the lesbians looked less than thrilled there were men in the house. I smell drama, and giant fights. Let the “ultimate battle of the sexes” begin!
