In the grand tradition of Next, Dismissed, Taildaters, and a bunch of other crappy MTV dating shows we'd never be caught dead watching (OK, fine, we may have gotten sucked into a couple episodes of Room Raiders), the cable network has announced today yet another thrilling foray into the genre: On A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila, contestants will be vying for the affections of MySpace's #1 agave-based celebrity:

A bisexual dating show featuring a woman who gained fame on MySpace is in the works for MTV.

"A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila," in which 16 men and 16 women will compete for Tequila's affections, is set to debut Oct. 9 on the cable channel, Television Week reported Thursday.

"Tila Tequila made a name for herself by doing things her way, captivating legions of fans online, both men and women," said MTV executive Tony DiSanto. "Now she is taking that attitude and sex appeal to her own TV series where she is looking for a mate ... by again, captivating a group of both men and women."

This isn't the first time MTV has explored bisexuality on their reality programming—Real World Las Vegas contestant Trishelle's vodka-fueled sexploits certainly never discriminated on the basis of reproductive organ assignment—but it's the first time the network has intentionally marketed a program as such. If it truly is an authentically "bisexual" competition, however, producers will inevitably wind up disappointed—when their 16 male suitors end up blowing off Tila's specially planned one-on-one helicopter dates to pair off with each other and experiment a bit more with their penis-loving sides.
