A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila: Episode 3 Reactions

LQSeaton · 05-07-2008, 06:21 AM

In my first reaction article about this season of A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila, I noted that the first episode seemed actually watchable, a step up from what I was expecting.

Well, maybe the show got altitude sickness because this week, it happily clambered right back down to the depths of awfulness that I had dreaded.

The catchphrase “jumping the shark” has been (over)used for the past few years to refer to the point where a quality show ceases to be a quality show and goes off the rails. You can't really use this phrase for a show like A Shot at Love 2 with Tila Tequila because the phrase presupposes a baseline of quality from which to decline. So maybe we need a different catchphrase for this kind of situation.

I propose that when a show goes from watchable trash to unbearably unwatchable, we now say it “ate the pig's vagina.”

I refuse to call Samantha "Glitter" on the grounds that it's stupid. I agree 100 percent about the show's entire premise ironically preventing lesbians from making out with each other (which is often the result when a Robo-Spanker is involved).
