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."

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..

Ladies and gentlemen, have you ever considered that she was never looking for love?

I mean, I love the show for the activities and all, but definitely she wasn’t looking for love.

Anyways, we get happy, Tila gets happy, MTV gets happy and the contestants, apart from a few bruises, also get happy.

Keep up,

This is her job, she’s not looking for love, she’s looking for fame/money.

Everyone should stop telling her she made the wrong choice or what you would’ve done because it doesn’t matter what you would’ve done IT MATTERS WHAT SHE FELT! Tila hunny you did what you thought was right and I’m very sorry it didn’t turn out the way you wanted it too. There is someone out there for you though. It just might take a while to find that special someone. I wish you the best of luck with your show.

I think that you went with your heart. I am very sorry that things didn’t work out with Bobby. I really had hope for you to choose Danni. She was so sweet and real. I know that if I was to choose between two people I would choose the one who made me smile, and who would stick beside me no matter what. You should go for Danni. Good luck next time. I hope it works out.

Hey Tila,

I’m not sure if you actually read these things. But I don’t think Bobby did anything wrong, I’m sorry it didn’t work out for you but, has anyone put themselves in Bobby shoes. You are from two seperate worlds and your world can be intimidating. I just think alittle more effort should have been put in on both sides. And I truly do think you have something special and you should fight to keep it. You picked him for a reason, because your inlove with him, how can you through it all away?

Maybe she didnt pick dani because they wouldnt have been able to have kids together

I think in the end Tila had two great people standing in front of her and she chose who she thought she connected with. I also think that with all the cameras and the things they all went through during the show played a big part in the problems that came about. I watched every episode and I can honestly say that I would have chosen Dani but everyone has something they want and dont want in their life..
The reason that Dani did not get chosen was bullshit in my eyes…if you really love someone you will make it work. Just because she was set with her job at the fire station and had her family doesnt mean that it would not have worked out…I about cried when Dani didnt get picked. Bobby seemed like a great person on camera but how much was he really willing to take…was love what HE was looking for or just a chance to say “I dated Tila Tequila”. We will never know. Cant wait for season two…we need Dani back!!=) She is one amazing woman..from what we can tell and I would take her in a heartbeat!!!
