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 spinoff, 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 I was compatible with...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 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" 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.
Banhart, however, put another spin on their brief pairing entirely.
"She never called me after the last show, and no one would give me her number," the 25-year-old film student wrote on MySpace.
Ouch.
Despite the negative 'tude regarding the future of relationships born from dating shows, MTV is more than ready to give Tequila another shot, although it will be interesting to see whether the 26-year-old West Hollywood resident will feel pressured to go girl this time around.
While her selection of a man over a woman in season one won't be setting estrogen back 100 years or anything, it certainly made Tequila's fans question just how bi the petite exhibitionist really is.
"I am not sure what is wrong with her," wrote Lindsey on vh1.com's Shot at Love message board. "The choice was obvious, and she made the wrong one. I do think Bobby is a great guy, but I do not see how she can be in love with him. Dani is number one! And I must say I have to question Tila’s claim on lesbianism. If she was a lesbian at all and ever, I think she would have picked Dani. If she was a sane person at all or ever, she would have picked Dani."
"To make someone believe they are in love with u and then in the end say 'i luv u but im in love with someone else' is just tacky," added Queenie, who probably isn't much of a fan of The Bachelor, either.
There were plenty of others, however, who wrote that they only want Tequila to be happy, if not necessarily gay.
Tequila announced that MTV had ordered another installment of her show while hosting her eponymous New Year's Eve Masquerade 2008 special from New York's Times Square.
MTV veejays Damien Fahey and Lyndsey Rodrigues cohosted the event, which featured performances by Mary J. Blige, Kid Rock, Fabolous, Paramore, Good Charlotte and Wyclef Jean.
Shot at Love's Dani, Ashley, Domenico and Vanessa were also there to help Tequila ring in the New Year—so, obviously, no hard feelings.
