Tila Tequila: The Real Reason Love Ended in Heartache

Tila Tequila, star of the hit MTV reality show "A Shot at Love," is speaking out to "Extra" about what really went down between she and the show's winner, Bobby Banhart.

Contrary to reports that Bobby wasn't able to contact Tila, she tells us, "We couldn't see each other for 2 months after (the finale), and we only talked on the phone. Just naturally, people kind of move on with their lives. We tried our best to keep in touch and keep it going, but after a while, all of this camera stuff, he just couldn't handle it."

How did the relationship end? "He called me a few days before New Years and broke it off! Why would he leave these?," Tila declared, pointing to her breasts.

As for the runner up, lesbian contestant Dani Campbell, Tila says, "I keep in touch, but I try not to keep in touch with everyone because I'm starting over. She's a great person and we're still friends."

A second season of "A Shot at Love" will be filming soon, and Tila admits, "I'm still looking for love. I don't want to go to clubs all the time, so we're gonna do it all over again."

well you sure as hell are not going to find love in clubs or on a reality show!
why dont you just stop looking and let love find you! you will meet ‘the one’ just not where you are looking.

dani was true and would have given her life for you, im not going to say she was the right one for you, i wouldnt know, but she was definately in it for love, and was madly inlove with you. she is such a genuine person, i would love to meet her!
i am straight, yet i had feelings for her! sure bobby was the biggest spunk out, but at the end of the day its not the looks that can make you happy, its whats inside the person.

I LOVE YOU DANI! stay true!

This show is a fake. Listen to what Bobby has to say. It should be called Looking for Money instead of Looking for Love.

Im loven the new show but if you n dani are still good friends i think you should bring her back… not for a chance at love but to see how all the new people get along and interact with her n let her see what goes on when ur not around… i guess you can say a spy or what a real friend would do!!!!

Tila,

I think at the end of the show you should bring Dani back, she was definately in love with you. Bobby just wanted to win to win. Dani had true feelings for you. but bring her back and make it a choice between her and one other contestant…..

First I thought Tila truly wants to be loved, but in the end she sends all these beautiful and hot contestants home
and she never called Bobby. She wants to party thats for sure and she is not able to love somebody….

Heyy Tila,

Im soo sorry for what happened with you and booby and honestly i know you will find really love one day maybe on your next show or maybe just out of randomly. But i do disagree with everyone how they say that you should put brandi and dani on the show because they already had a chance and yes i do agree that dani is a great girl and i would hav picked her, but if she does go back on the show then i dont think it would be fair to the other people couse both of you guys did have a strong relationship and the same goes for brandi.

Tila,

Hey girl well i have a little advice for you,if you are going to do another season with the same attitude and game plan as you did the last you will neva find love. let me tell you this you are going about it all wrong, you were looking for someone that you had the most sexual attraction too coz you are a horny chick lol, also it was someone that you thought was so inexperienced there fore he will do what you wanted him to do and just be so happy to be with you that he would endure anything and any lifestyle for you well it back fired. you were wrong.
although you did need someone similar to dani coz she was the best out of the whole lot, u need someone who is trusting and fun an flexible an sexy but not to much sexy coz then thats all you look at and it overwhelmes the thoughts you should be thinking an then you let the important things that you need slip out of your mind. so really think about it this time if love is what you really want coz im not sure if its love or a good time you are after either way i think you are an amazing chick a little like me actually haha anyway goodluck ill be watching bye

This goes to show that vanessa was right about bobby. he wasnt there for tila. but one thing is for sure, if theres a chance to bring others back, i think tila should give brandi and dani a second chance! both them girls would of been a good choice. i just hope that this season she picks someone who truely has a heart for her and not some jack a$$ that wants to be on tv or in it for money..

Hay Tila!

I’m so loving your show! I am a fifteen year old girl… coming from Holland.

You are such an inspiration to all girls ;) Thanks for let me seeing that sometimes you just have to open your heart to people. Don’t be affraid for what’s coming. Because in the end… it’s just another lesson you’ve learned!
Love ya, Tila!


Safiera Kho

Ps.
It’s a blast that Bobby B turned you down! I really don’t understand that someone just gonna say goodbye to a woman with such an open spirit/mind!
