Internet sensation Tila Tequila was given her own reality dating show on MTV where she claimed to be seeking A Shot at Love. What made the series unique was that Tila is a bisexual, although she didn’t reveal that to the young men and women who were there competing for her hand, or at least a little face time on television, until after the first day of the competition, taking them all by surprise.
The contestants had to prove their love in goofy events, which usually had them scantily clad. Certainly everyone has competed for the hand of one they desired, but if eating bull penis had ever come up, I would have bowed out gracefully. At the end of each episode, Tila cut people loose with the terrible, unimaginative line, “Your shot at love has ended,” until the final episode when she selected her partner.
Throughout the series, it’s intriguing to watch how people handle pressure. Some are so desperate to fill the emptiness in their lives that they delude themselves into thinking they have fallen in love or met their new best friend, yet are able to completely reverse those feelings at the drop of a hat, which can literally be all it takes. The producers help stoke the flames of insanity by making sure the contestants always have access to a full bar. You just know that ratings glimmer sparkles in their eye when fights break out.
The DVDs are uncensored so you get to hear the breadth of the vocabulary that these valedictorians use. The Special Features include extended and deleted scenes of intensity, the physical fights and verbal confrontations, and sexiness, in the mansion’s strip club and when two of the women make out. A reunion show is also contained in the set where stand-up comic Ryan Stout - although you wouldn’t know that was his occupation considering how unfunny and lacking in personality he is - hosts a rehash of the series with the surprisingly unembarrassed contestants.

If I may..... I just saw the so called "Uncensored" DVD of season 1 and everything was censored except the language. Even sticking up the middle finger was censored! Vanessa going skinny dipping was censored we got the TV version of every scene not the extended vesion that we saw on "A Shot Too Many" infact "A Shot Too Many" isnt even on the DVD extras. What a rip off I might as well just have recorded the entire season off the tv lol
