American television series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Shot at Love II with Tila Tequila is an American reality television dating game show. It is the follow-up season to A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. The series is a bisexual-themed dating competition where 15 hetero males and 15 lesbian females live in a house with Tila Tequila and compete for her attention and affection. The contestants, unlike in season 1, are aware of Tequila's bisexuality. The winner of this season was contestant Kristy Morgan, who declined her "shot at love", stating she was not ready for a relationship with a woman.

Final elimination leaked
Before the final episode aired, an MSNBC report inadvertently leaked that Tequila would not actually find love. In the MSNBC report, which was published 18 days before the final elimination, it stated "[Tequila] won't fall in love with a man or a woman" followed by Tequila saying, "I am going to Africa. I think maybe I will fall in love in Africa."[14]
