What We Think

A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila broke ground with its bisexual dating format, lightly challenging traditional norms without fully diving into ideological territory. Progressive for 2007, but mild by today's woke standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While the show's premise, focusing on bisexual dating, was novel for its time, it does lean into casting based on identity and sexuality rather than depth of character or traditional romantic storytelling. The competition format emphasizes spectacle over genuine relationship-building, though it doesn't wholly sacrifice narrative for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show heavily spotlights non-traditional sexuality as its central theme and, in doing so, challenges conventional norms around relationships and dating. There's a playful irreverence towards traditional family structure, but it stops short of outright mockery. Still, the cultural foundations are definitely bent here.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

Alternative (heteronormative) viewpoints are present through some contestants, but the show's format ultimately revolves around the celebration of bisexual identity. While not as preachy as more recent fare, it does subtly lean towards one worldview, though not in a heavy-handed way.
