MTV Gives “Tequilla” Loser Another Shot
Whether you’re a burnt-out rapper, a rock band’s frontman, an aspiring …uh… actress or even a bi-sexual model/actress/whatever, chances are you can get a reality show on either MTV or VH1.
After Public Enemy’s Flava Flav kicked it off with Flavor of Love, VHI soon followed up everyone’s favorite Flav-ette Tiffany Patterson in her own spinoff, I Love New York. Next came Poison’s Bret Michaels in Rock of Love, and then MTV cashed in on the reality dating gravy train with A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.
Just when you think they couldn’t possibly make another one, the network is announcing a new reality spinoff.
The show, aptly named “That’s Amore,” a nod to the bachelor’s Italian roots, will feature Domenico Nesci, a castoff from Shot at Love, who was born and raised in Milan. Fifteen bachelorettes will compete for Domenico’s heart, and the winner wiill travel to Italy to meet his mother. Set to air on Sundays, the series premiere is set for March 2, 2008.
Betwen The Hills, A Shot at Love, and the countless other “reality” shows MTV has launched (Next!, Date My Mom, Engaged and Underage…the list goes on….), unless the M now stands for Made-up-plots-and-dramz-that-we-are-supposed-to-accept-as-reality (ok, it’s a stretch), maybe MTV should consider renaming their station?
