I have never hidden my contempt for A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila. I hate the way portrays bisexuality and I hate that Tila Tequila is the most public face of the orientation. I hate the way she illegitimizes it. But there is no need for me to beat a dead horse, you guys know all this already. If you don’t, go back and read the posts I linked to.
This is the extended trailer for the season:
These girls admit to sleeping in the same bed, kissing, and while they claim to be bisexual, have never alluded to this or to girlfriends before. They talk an awful lot about their boyfriends, though. Thanks, MTV, for another horribly inaccurate portrayal of bisexual women. This show looks like a fucking trainwreck. An incestuous trainwreck. How do people find this shit hot? Because they are twins? That makes it fucking gross. Imagine kissing your sister or brother. Ew. Wrong on so many levels.

I'm sorry, Brit. I know you are upset…
but I can't stop laughing. It's so gross and terrible! I CAN'T STOP THE LAUGHTER!!!
Wow.
Just wow.
I have no other words.
I think a twin fantasy is fine — getting worked over by two hot people, whatever. But like, when you actually think about it happening, yeah, you have to admit that the incest part is icky.
I have to stop.
And remind myself.
This…yes, this…is what people are watching on TV nowadays.
And I kinda fear for the future.
Could be worse – bisexual men are near invisible on the media. We only come in two flavours – gay and straight…
Anonymous: While you are very, very correct about bisexual men, sometimes I wonder if I would rather us bisexual women NOT be represented at all than be represented the way we are: slutty, fickle, non-monogamous, crazy, and manipulative. We don't know what we want, we're greedy, we sleep with anyone and everything with a pulse. You know, accurate portrayal and all that.
I wrote more about how I feel about popular culture's portrayal of bisexual women here.
I had to come back to add this…
Icki?? No one thought to change that last name?? The Icki Twins???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA… OH GOD… IT HURTS…
Oh, no, TPH: their names are Vikki and Rikki or something. Or Nikki and Rikki? I don't know.
So they gave themselves that moniker??
Uuuuuugh it's just getting better/worse!
Are you kidding? This is fucking awesome!! What's not to like? the "Ikki Twins"???
And that pillow fight picture makes my dick throb! Yum …
But yeah, this is why I don't have TV. And no, I don't think this is materially worse than much of the other trash on TV. In fact it looks way more entertaining than much of it. And who can possibly take it seriously??
