Tila Tequila’s “A Shot at Love” Shocker
Tila Tequila’s “A Shot at Love” Shocker
The latest season of her reality dating show “A Shot at Love” has come to an end and Tila Tequila stopped by MTV’s Total Request Live yesterday to talk about the finale.
The MySpace queen hammed it up at the Times Square studios, along with this season’s winner Kristy Morgan. But the season finale didn’t go the way everyone was expecting.
When everything was said and done, Tila had to choose between the studly Bo and the sexy Kristy. And when she eliminated her male suitor, there was only one thing left to ask Kristy - “You still have a shot at love- are you interested?”
Unbeknownst to Miss Tequila, Kristy wasn’t quite ready for a relationship, hence she declined the invitation. That’s why it’s called reality TV… anything can happen.
Skank Alert! New Charm School coming to VH1
Only this time it’s with the Rock of Love girls. And even better, it will be hosted by Sharon Osbourne.
Just like the girls of Flavor of Love 1 and 2, the curse-spewing, hard-liquor downing, hair-pulling girls from both seasons of Rock of Love are in need of some lessons in manners. Who better to turn these skanky beasts into classy dames than Sharon Osbourne? As host, Osbourne will guide these girls as they learn how to be more prim and proper. And just like last time, one lucky contestant will win $100,000. The new Charm School will premiere this Fall.
This is the best news I’ve heard all week. Check out my picks for the cast after the jump.
From season 1:
1. Lacey (Although I think she needs a straight-jacket more than a few weeks at Charm School.)
2. Brandi C.
3. The other Brandi (I believe she was Brandi M. Yep, she could use some “lady” lessons.)
4. Jes (She needs to learn not to break up with someone on national television.)
5. The basketcase (What was her name? The blonde with the cool tattoo sleeve. It’s killing me that I can’t remember it.)
From season 2:
1. Angelique (Duh.)
2. Daisy (Double Duh.)
3. Inna
4. Kristy Jo
5. Peyton (Just because you need someone who could actually win.)
A girl can hope, can’t she? Who do you most want to see in the cast?
American Idol: Top 6 Revealed
(S07E32) Well, I think the Mariah Carey performances went better than expected. We got slid vocal performances from all three guys and at least half the girls. I’d predict a three-female “Bottom Three,” but last week showed us just how unpredictable this show can be. And Mariah Carey performs because what better way to whore her new album, E=MC2, than to do it on the largest stage in America. Join us, won’t you, to chat, chat, chat live during tonight’s episode, starting just before 9:00pm ET.
Can you believe we’re at the Top 6 already? This week they hit a new high in votes with 36 million. And Ryan had another chance to apologize about teasing Michael Johns so cruelly last week and didn’t.
Group Number - “One Sweet Day,” Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men
We’re down to few enough finalists that these can be an opportunity to showcase individual solos, and that’s what Idol did tonight. And both Jason and Kristy did really nice jobs with their opening bit. I’m surprised nobody told Brooke that she accidentally put on Kristy’s sparkly top, certainly with their anatomical differences, it was hanging way too low on Brooke. This song is a powerhouse showcase and I have to say that I think the Idols actually handled it very well. VFTW might need to drop Kristy in favor of someone else because she’s actually growing as a true performer and singer.
Ford Commercial - “I Want to Break Free”
This week, the Idols were puppets on strings in mundane lives until they were set free to drive in a Ford. Yeah, that was the concept. I don’t really know what more I can say about it.
Elliott Yamin - “Free”
Elliott had probably the purest and most accomplished voice on Season Five, but when he started here I wasn’t feeling it. I do prefer him with a slightly shorter ’do than he’s been sporting in recent videos, but it was great to see him performing again on the Idol stage. And his new teeth are just beautiful. Our hearts at TVS go out to Elliott over the recent passing of his mother. She was a fun presence in many of his video packages and seemed to enjoy his growing fame even more than he did. Did I mention that the boy can sing! I think he may have just blown away the entire Top 7 of this season with that performance. He closed with a message on his hand to her: “We Miss You Mom.”
Stupid Live Phone Calls Segment
Can we just retire this already. I don’t even want to talk about it. A bunch of regular people asked questions and we learned that the guy who bought Kristy’s horse so she could audition won’t sell it back to her. We learned that the first records Randy bought were Zeppelin, Beatles and James Brown. For Paula it was The Jackson Five, Earth, Wind & Fire and Carole King, and Simon said it was Paula Abdul’s Straight Up when he was ten (funny guy, that Simon). We also learned that sometimes when someone gets on the line they won’t shut up. I did like the woman who wanted Simon to differentiate some of Simon’s various performance descriptions (karaoke, cruise ship, bar, hamburger without meat). And of course, he had no answer to differentiate them. And most importantly, we learned that David Cook is single. Dammit, I talked about the segment anyway.
Mariah Carey - “Bye Bye”
Speaking of glittery things, Mariah’s mic stand was glittery. She was beautiful, her breasts were bursting just the way she likes them and her skirt was so short it’s surely illegal in the entire bible belt. I’m not sure if this is going to be her next single, but I found it to be a bit boring. I’m not going to take away anything from Mariah, though, as she has one of the most impressive vocal ranges and voices I’ve ever heard. Now I’ve never seen her live before, but she barely moved around and just didn’t really sell the performance for me. And her background singer was ruining the end of it for me. Then in her after-performance banter she shamelessly plugged her album and gave Randy to much credit for her success, meaning he’ll be insufferable now.
Building the Top 6
Again we decided to do this one by one, and first out of the gate was Jason Castro. And I guess we’ve reached the point where Ryan makes groups on the stage. Jason went to his left. Does that mean we have a surprising Bottom Three and elimination this week? He loves to make two groups of three on the stage and have the seventh contestant pick which group they think is the “safe” group. You know, those cruel tricks the Idol producers love to play. Bastards.
The next victim of their little game was David Cook. When Ryan talked to him about the emotions he felt the other night, he acknowledged vaguely that there’s been a lot going on his life without overtly discussing his brother’s struggles with cancer. Ryan sent David to start a new group to his right. Then, he invited Carly Smithson to the stage where she called Simon out for being extra harsh on her this season. Simon said he was trying to push her to be the great singer he knew she was capable of being before Ryan sent her to his left to join Jason.
Kristy Lee Cook said Simon can be a butt at times and was sent to join David to Ryan’s right. At this point, they broke for commercial and moved to Elliott Yamin performing. This is great, but somebody needs to explain to them that when you make two pointless (thus far) groups of two on a stage and then abandon the concept for awhile, the impact of what your doing is diminished.
After the Yamin break, the groups reformed and Syesha Mercado joined Ryan at center stage. She was sent to join Jason and Carly. Next, came Brooke White who was sent opposite to join the Cooks. So, as expected, David Archuleta was safe and as he was the youngest and most naive, let’s put him in the horrible position of having to pick the “top” group. Idol cruelty at its finest. But before that, another musical number; this time Mariah.
Your Bottom Three
So David came out and, as expected, was told straight out he was safe. Then to make things interesting, he switched David Cook and Syesha Mercado to the opposite group. So now, which of the two groups is the Bottom Three? Is it Jason, Carly and David Cook? As it stands, Carly must have resonated more than we thought and it was her group that David joined as safe.
So the Bottom Three was Kristy Lee Cook, Brooke White and Syesha Mercado.
Going Home
First back to safety was Syesha Mercado, leaving Brooke and Kristy vulnerable to the vote. In the end, Kristy was again certain that she was leaving, while Brooke was insistent that we couldn’t be sure. But she was right and Brooke was safe. Kristy can be tremendously proud of how far she made it in the competition, just as far as Sanjaya did last year (*hee-hee*).
Much love to Kristy for singing her final song directly to Simon at the beginning. I do think she might be able to make a run for it in Nashville. I think more country singers have been able to come out of the Idol machine than any other genre.
My Picks
Hey, look. I picked Kristy Lee Cook again and this time I got it right! And if we pretend that I said Brooke instead of Carly we can pretend I got the whole Bottom Three right. Okay, but still I’m moving closer to .500 for the year, reaching 8-10 now.
YOUR PICKS
Well, it didn’t go quite as well for you guys. Your bottom three was Syesha, followed by Brooke and Carly coming in with the lowest votes. You had Kristy right in the middle of the pack at fourth. Might I actually be able to catch up to you guys? You’re at 11-7 now.
Next Week: It’s Andrew Lloyd Weber, and I think we’ve got a great Top 6 left to tackle it.
Super Skank Wednesday: Reasons why the skanks shouldn’t drink & It’s all about Seezinz - VIDEO
Welcome to Super Skank Wednesday. This is where I celebrate the awesomely skanky people on the following shows: Rock of Love, Flavor of Love, I Love New York (or whatever show Tiffany Pollard is making next), The Surreal Life, and Charm School. Basically, I’ll discuss the skankalicious shows that make VH1 the network it is today.
After the jump…Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Drink in the Rock of Love Mansion, A Word from Bret, & This Season, It’s all about Seezinz.
It’s Wednesday again, people. That means the weekend is only two days away and it’s time to talk smack about the skanks! And this is a long one. I apologize for the length but A LOT happened on Sunday and Monday night.
Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Drink in the Rock of Love Mansion
or When Skanks Do Body Shots
I’d like to personally thank VH1 for the cautionary tales provided by Sunday’s show.
Too much drinking makes you cry. After a few body shots and a few more beers, the skanks were sniveling, and whimpering, and downright boohooing all over the place. Pull yourself together, you little tartlets! Megan made Jessica cry (anyone could do that though). Daisy made herself cry (what’s up, Kristy Jo?). And Megan’s ex-boyfriend made her cry (didn’t see that one coming). I think Destiney may have cried at some point too? Heather said of Daisy, “The girl is a total blubbering trainwreck.” And she was right.
Too much drinking makes you reveal personal stuff. Megan totally dropped the ball after too many cocktails — and she was let go because of it. First she revealed to Heather that she was on Beauty and the Geek (a kiss of death on these shows). Second she wailed to Ambre about how her ex-boyfriend only came on the show to promote his bar. Methinks she’s not quite over him. From the looks of him, I can’t tell why not.
In her meeting with Bret, Heather mentioned there’s really only one good thing about Megan, “The upside of Megan is she’s got a great rack.” I love Heather. I just have to say it. And I don’t care who hears me.
Another person that took too much of the truth serum was that skank Daisy. She broke down (rather suddenly) and told Heather that she still lives with her ex-boyfriend Charles in a ONE-bedroom apartment. And from the looks of next week’s show, Heather is not letting that one go.
Check out this video for more about Megan…

Too much drinking makes you vomit. Jessica, the sweet and innocent one, decided to impress her fellow skanks and show the world that she could drink. There was just one problem. The drinks went down easily but they came right back up.
Too much drinking makes you do cartwheels naked. On a dare from Heather (the master of revels), Destiney decided to strip off her bra and panties and do not ONE, but TWO cartwheels on the lawn. In the extras at VH1’s website, you can see the second part of the dare. Destiney peed on Bret’s doorstep. Now, if ever there was a reason to call the Neighborhood Watch Association.
A Word from Bret
The man had some doozies on Sunday. Here’s a few of my favorites. If you still don’t tune in, you really don’t know what you’re missing.
- “[Megan] was on Beauty and the Geek. She’s upgrading to rock star. I think that’s moving up the ladder, right?”
- “Amber tells me that Megan has been shedding tears and crying, not for me, but for her ex. Now that one kicked me right in the nards.”
- “I remember my first beer.” (to a very inebriated Jessica)
- “We’re moments away from projectile.” (about the very inebriated Jessica)
This Season, It’s all about Seezinz
A lot happened on Flavor of Love 3 this week too. I think VH1 realized both shows weren’t up to snuff from their previous seasons so they threw a few twists in to spice things up. Let’s start from the end of Monday night’s episode and work backwards from there.
Four new girls came into the mansion. Saaphryi said something about the current skanks not being good enough and then invited her “homegirls” into Flav’s house. Among them were Candace Cabrera (I found her myspace page) and an Amazon woman. That girl had to be six-foot-tall without the heels.
Before that, Flav eliminated Shy (SHY-Town!) basically because her breath was kickin’. As Flav says, “Your breath is like crystal meth.” Shy went to the dentist and found out she needed a deep cleaning, dead teeth removed, and root canals (a total of $20,000 in dental work). I know Flav won’t miss the dragon breath, but I’ll miss her.
And now, Seezinz … I found out some stuff about her. I’ve liked her all along because in a house full of skanktastic chicks, she seemed a cut above. And this past episode, Seezinz proved that she was there to compete. Seezinz got into more than half the calendar photos and dominated her date that night. Here’s some more information about her:
Seezinz’s real name is Autumn Joi. - She is 25 years old and from Cheltenham, Maryland.
- According to buddytv.com, Seezinz has a competitive edge and “claims that she is the sophisticated woman that Flav needs.”
- Also according to buddytv.com, Seezinz is “afraid of hair and intimidated by overweight people.” Huh?
- Here’s the best comment I found about her. It’s by Laquonda on VH1’s blogspot: “Seezinz looks like a skinny, shiny toostie roll…as a matter of fact she reimnds me of this lil’ girl named dominique that i knew, mustache and all.. she’s a stank `)! gutta rat from d.c. and she probably burning a hole in them gray sweatpants that she stay rocking.”
- In my travels across the worldwide web, I came across these steamy pictures. Some are of Seezinz, but there are also some of Myamme, Bunz, Tik, and others.
- I found this interview with Black Press Radio. Apparently, Seezinz’s mother was upset with her decision to go on the show.
One last thing…
Okay, before I leave you for this week, I have a question. Does anyone else hope that Bret Michaels pulls a Flavor Flav and keeps Heather in the competition? Let me clarify. In season 2 of Flavor of Love, Flav brought back New York to help him find out which skanks were there for realzies. But during the elimination ceremony, he gave a clock to New York, effectively bringing her back into the tournament for his heart. The rest is history. On Sunday night, when Bret invited Heather to come with him and his skanks to Las Vegas, I realized that Bret might be “pulling a Flav.”
