"A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila"
Series Premiere October 9th at 10:00PM/ET/PT
Los Angeles, CA (September 6, 2007) – Going where no dating show has gone before, MTV has greenlit 10 episodes of "A Shot At Love with Tila Tequila," a reality-competition series that will pit men against women in a number of romantic challenges, all in an effort to win internet sensation Tila Tequila's heart. The series is scheduled to premiere on MTV October 9th at 10:00PM (ET/PT.)
Having spent the past few years building her career, Tila, the most popular girl in the history of MySpace is finally ready to get serious about finding someone to get serious with. The only catch is that Tila is bisexual– so she isn't sure if she should settle down with a man or a woman. MTV found sixteen straight guys and sixteen lesbians to vie for her love and attention. The finalists move into her mansion, live together, and each week Tila will narrow down her suitors. Every episode will culminate in a dramatic ceremony unlike anything you've ever seen before.
"Tila Tequila made a name for herself by doing things HER way, captivating legions of fans online, both men and women. Now she is taking that attitude and sex appeal to her own TV series where she is looking for a mate…by again, captivating a group of both men and women," said Tony DiSanto, Executive Vice President of Series Development & Programming, MTV. "The show is a rollercoaster ride of drama, conflict and emotion, busting stereotypes and challenging the norm–proving that the rules of attraction are made to be broken. May the better sex win."
"A Shot At Love With Tila Tequila" is produced by 495 Productions and MTV. Sally Ann Salsano will serve as executive producer. Joel Zimmer is co-executive producer. MTV executives overseeing production are Drew Tappon, David Gross and Heather Olander.
