[QUOTE=Argent Towers] All those people are also critiqued on their looks as well. If you don’t think a pundit’s looks matter to people, consider the situation with Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter, or Jon Stewart. A singer’s looks don’t matter? Give me a break. Male rockers can get a pass, maybe, but an ugly female with a great voice isn’t going to have much of a career. [/QUOTE] All true, but she’s not a pundit, or a singer. She’s a MySpace whore. When cute and/or sexy is your \*entire \* raison d’etre, you’d better be seriously fucking cute and/or sexy. ---

[Relevant comic from the good folks at Something Positive.](http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp10242007.shtml) “Four-year-old with breast implants” pretty much sums up my opinions on Tila Tequila and her show. ---

I found Ms. Tequila’s appeal completely baffling until I noticed that with her ovaloid head and freakishly large eyes, she somewhat resembles a female Manga character. So my current theory is that those who find her “hot” are the same ones who spank it to those doe-eyed pedo fantasy chicks from Japanese comics/anime. No offense. Well, okay, I guess that is a little offensive, but that’s my running hypothesis. ( **Argent Towers** excluded, of course.) ---

Well, I’ll step in and say I think she’s cute. I _would_ think she was darling if she were a scientist or an author or an engineer. But in that case, I probably wouldn’t comment on her looks because I’d take her seriously as a professional. (I am a heterosexual grown woman, but it’s not like I haven’t been looking at attractive women my whole life, what with all the TV I watch, so I know what I think is cute. And I also think Britney Spears is just darling, no matter what her personal life looks like.) ---

I seem to recall reading somewhere that she had a boyfriend while the film was being shot. I watched about two minutes of the show on Christmas break, but I haven’t had cable in three years. [QUOTE=lavenderviolet] Since you just made me go look it up on wikipedia ;), I thought I’d share that she did not actually date the “winner” of the show and may not even be bisexual in the first place: [A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Shot_at_Love_with_Tila_Tequila#Criticism_and_controversy) Since you can’t keep your teen siblings away from crap like this show, I guess all you can do is talk to them about why it’s so dumb and hope that in the end some of that rubs off on them. [/QUOTE] This is what said “winner” had to say: > [@](#): > > well everyone wants to know so here it is she never called me after the last show and no one would give me her number so pretty much I feel like and ass but we are not 2gather u cant have a realationship bye urself ya know so now you all know and sometimes no matter how bad you want things to work out they dont and theres nothing you can do i tryed… thank you all.

I don’t consider “ratings potential” a valid mating criteria, either. YMMV. ---

**Hostile Dialect:** > [@](#): > > Her show is sleazier than the others for a number of reasons–I loathe it with a passion, myself–but bisexuality ain’t one of them, and I would gently suggest that you, OP, might be the one who has some growing up to do if you think it is. The show was also very sleazy because all the contestants–male and female-- slept in the same bed. I don’t know how acknowledging that makes me more mature, but OK. ---

Completely disgusting dating shows are all the rage now, you know. Have you seen the commercials for “Rock of Love” with Bret Michaels? Jeez, talk about needing to leave your dignity at the door! Apparently, not showing him your breasts is a sign of low self-confidence. My brain hurts. ---

I mean EVERYTHING gives Bret a boner. Girls being happy? Check Girls being sad? Check Girls sober and nice? Check Girls drunk and nasty? Check Girls showing their boobs? Check Girls too frigid to show anything? Check Girls who look like men? Checkity check check check. Also, Tila Tequila is suffering from Giada-Gianthead syndrome. Though I will admit Giada is more attractive. ---
