Viacom's (NYSE:VIA) MTV has signed MySpace star Tila Tequila to host her own show, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, to debut on October 9th. The bisexual-and-proud-of-it Tequila has become one of the most friended people on MySpace, and her site has helped launch her musical and modeling careers. She also previously served as host of FUSE TV's popular Pants-off Dance-off, named by TV Guide as the dumbest show on television. According to TV Week, the show will be constructed along the lines of Big Brother but customized to Tequila's tastes. Sixteen straight men and sixteen lesbians (what do they have against bisexual women?) will vie for the chance to move into Tequila's mansion. Once there, the finalists will contest for her affections. The show is slated for a ten-episode run.
How can a show featuring a star who describes herself thusly, "I'm no girl next door, I'm the bitch down the street," be anything but a hit? I'm giving it two thumbs up already.
