We’ve harped on Tyra plenty of times, but I have to pick on her again after
yesterday's episode on bisexuality. Tyra interviewed Tila Tequila about her MTV show
A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila and her perplexing habit of dating both men and women.
As you can see in the clip below, Tyra stayed pretty plain-faced and unresponsive to Tila’s jokes and comments on the differences between dating males and females. It was more like the third degree, as Tyra honestly struggled to understand— who pays on the date? How does this bisexuality thing work? She may know Miss Jay, but she obviously doesn’t know many queer girls. She ends the segment by saying, "Thanks for explaining to me about sex with a man and sex with a woman." Tyra is confused.

Im thinking of a word
My friends and I have a word for people like miss Tila. The girls who go out and make out with eachother to snag some attention. That is: Trendy Bi-WHORE.
Of course reality TV takes a certain level of trashiness in the first place, but this girl is repulsive. I don't like her at all and she gives the LGBT community a bad name; as all of those crappy shows make single people look like sex-obsessed ingrates.
I think it speaks multitudes when she says that sex with a man is different from sex with a woman. Besides the obvious, it should be about a deeper connection with some one. I think bisexual people at least should recognize that you fall in love with the person, not the gender. I am the same person regardless of the gender of the person I'm with. It's just that simple. In this day and age we should be able to even things out.
This, in my opinion, makes her a trendy bi-whore. Sorry.
cheezus!
Tyra was actually SURPRISED by the fact that Tila would open a door for a girl? Does Tyra thrive on male chivalry or something? Did she grow up in the 1940s?
Thank god I never made a habit of watching talk shows. I would hate to be this thoroughly unimpressed every day.
Come on Tyra!
Okay. So first I have to agree that Tyra is a host of a talk show and has to read off of cue cards to ask the questions that people supposidly want to hear. But at the same time, its also her job as a talk show host to make sure that her guests feel comfortable and that she herself does not come off as homophobic or biggoted, etc etc. I personally like Tyra, esp if we're talking about ANTM (gotta love it). But after watching it, I lost a lot of respect. Its not like Tila is the first bisexual ever. Its not like the majority of people dont know how to women have sex together. I think Tyra was acting naive and scarred and her own insecurities were presenting themselves.
oh.. and <3 DANI <3
~Mi.Vida.Loca.~
Tila is so freakin cute,
Tila is so freakin cute, Tyra is so freakin lame, and Dani is so dayum hot i cant freakin contain myself when i watch her. hehe my gf is so gonna kill me :)
and y do ya'll expect different from tyra........
jeez louise lads and lasses........tyra is biatch (im hopelessly in luv with antm tho)...she has this way of speaking down to ppl as if she in her infinite wisdom is superior 2 all of us unworthy plebians...
i remember the episode where she had witches and satanists on the show and i was utterly disgusted wit how she treated the whole issue...at the end of the show she said something like "well we have 2 get some holy water now to wash down the stage"...
she never really sounds honestly interested more like fascinatingly disgusted...like *gasp...there are people who have different values than me...how can this be??!?...
plz dont throw rotten food at me...
...but i dont like tila tequila...........something about her doesnt sit well with me..cant put my finger on it exactly..............i jus hope dani doesnt fall for her....(no dani dont do it........for spite tila shud end up with vanessa..........
Tyra Tyranta
hmm...Tila + Dani <3!!! I like Tila, she's definitely not the fakeness I expected. ...oh yah vanessa's a phsycopath
Dani Is The Sweetest
when i first started watching the show I thought Tila was just doing it to add to her celebrity status, but she really seems
genuine about her feelings for both males and female. I really hope she picks Dani, she's just all awesome; personality and looks. If Tila doesn't want to be with her, I would love to be.
We can't expect much...
Tyra is a hot mess. However, we can't expect her to give us an in depth look at what it means to be bisexual. I would say the same thing about Tila you can't expect her to give us an in depth intellectual description of what it means to be bi.
daniiiiiiiiiiii
I can't stand Tila but her show is like crack.
I want to make love to Dani.
haha
I also agree with this.. Her show is like this terrible accident. You can't help but watch.
And Dani is very intriguing I must admit.
woah
Did anyone else notice how Tyra's eyelids go all twitchy whenever she says the word 'bisexuality'?
!!
haha....it's true
Wow. It is good to know that
Wow. It is good to know that alternative lifestyles are becoming so mainstream...mainstream enough that bisexual and homosexual relationships are being exploited by shallow attention whores for big money just like they are in the heterosexual world.
Ditto!
I absolutely agree with this statement.
i effin dislike....
i dont like tila!
TILA=FAKE!
: (
i can't believe i missed that show. i love tila. she's so cute. tyra can be ummm yeah weird sometimes. tila better pick a girl. it seems she is more into one by the way she is talking.
tyra
sometimes tyra is just very empty headed, but i suppose this topic is really hard for people who are trapped in the "straight society"

I just realized:
Folks keep saying about Tila T that she seems to like guys more - but she just said : With a guy, he's got to, like, earn my love...
weird huh?
I conquer
she talks about women in a more positive sense than she does with men. hmmmm I wonder.

I think Tyra is curious about homosexuality... She just needs to admit it.

She's so wrong.. women
She's so wrong.. women adopting the masculine rol? you don't put a girl you like through a trial before dating her? girls just wantig to move in with you? girls not thinking about sex only? more secure with a girl? personally, i don't thin she's even half gay.. i think you'll agree that dating girls is not that easy, and some of us don't take the masculine rol, we want to be taken care of as well, and there are no roles to play, just being ourselves is difficult enough.
You know what
Tila Tequila is kinda cute...like her laugh. I never really noticed and when i heard about the show i was like "oh...wow somebody wants publicity" but after seeing this, she's pretty funny. And wtf is up with Tyra, I love her but she seemed sort of "biphobic" (if that's even a word)
tyra tyra tyra...lol
wow. this made me laugh. i like tyra and everything, and after seeing this it sounds like she needs to get out in the world a little more. haha
wow what a d0uch3
talk about passive aggressive...Tyra was completely coming from the guy perspective in all her questions and basically coming off as an azzhole! see if i ever watch america's next top model again. by the way, Dani so won this! its gotta be down to Bobby and Dani but Tila did say that D's got the best of both worlds! Whoooo! GO DANIS'! IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!

cool
i love tila's attitude, that was so refreshing to watch
Tila Tequila
I Think that tyra is rude and was very inscentive to Tila's feeling and was trying to imbearest Tila but we in reality she did it to herself and i think that Tila's is very hot and she does need to be with a girl instead of idoit boys who think that they rule the world because they have a dick fuck men in general and i think that they should see how we are treated and they need to be made and example of in front of the entirer world like tyra did to Tila and didn't think of her feeling and used her like a dogs play toy !!!
That is absolutely
That is absolutely ridiculous! In fact she is ridiculous. It’s a publicity stunt and nothing more.
word.
word.
what planet is tyra living on?!
also seems to me like tyra was kinda taking the piss...
No Boy!
Who in their right mind wants their to be a masculine role with another woman? Especially if she is bisexual. DOesn't that defeat the purpose. Maybe only for me.

I must say, I was never a
I must say, I was never a fan of Tyra Banks and I'm even less of one now.
................still addicted to America's Next Top Model though, unfortunately.
Hey Ya!
Tyra LIKES TO blink her eyes 10 times in like a second. It must be just me noticing this but for some reason it's the biggest distraction, it kind of reminds me when I use to have the rag dolls that would open and close their eyes when you flip them , Ah I know thats off topic but I really don't think Tyra was interested in that conversation
god, so that IS her real
god, so that IS her real laugh...
Don't get me wrong, i still watch her show.
Sheer curiosity, it's a bitch.
i dont think it was that bad
i think she was just trying to explain it to all the straight people out there that have no idea...... and anyway what else would you ask her that the general public would actually be interested in hearing?
I actually just turned the
I actually just turned the show on, never watched it before. Not sure if I can really get into it though. Is Tila Taquila her real name?? Hehe, cute.

I honestly can't stand Tyra,
I honestly can't stand Tyra, she's so very annoyingly full of herself, but I have to say in her defense, I didn't see anything she said was in any way wrong. I dunno.
Tyra, you make me so mad!
I love America's Next Top Model and I watch Tyra's talk show from time to time. I can't help but notice how she discounts the lesbian community over and over again. On ANTM, she makes countless blanket statements about gender and sexuality that don't take lesbians into consideration whatsoever. For example, when a model on ANTM poses in a provocative way, she says "Oh, that's for a 'men's' magazine." And if the model looks soft and demure, Tyra will say, "That's more of a woman's magazine pose." Um, I like the sexy poses! They do it for me, and I'm a woman! She seems to fully understand and respect gay male sexuality, but why not lesbian sexuality?
In that clip with Tila, Tyra said: "When you have sex with a woman, do you take a masculine role?" Why does she always have to go back to that gender binary that places masculine with feminine? When I am out with a woman, sometimes I pay, sometimes she pays. During sex, sometimes I will dominate and sometimes she will depending on the mood. Why is that so hard to understand?
There's a lot more room for grey than black and white, Tyra.
tila
I watch A Shot At Love every week, sadly haha. It's on tonight, woo! I really hope Tila chooses a girl. I think she's into girls more to be honest.
lol @ "yeah we're gonna move in and everything"
its a boy
I think she chooses a boy for sure. If you watched the whole "this season on a shot at love" thing at the end of the first episode... you see someone holding the key at the end... looks like man hands to me... AND the other person runs away with Tila running after her... Sounds like something most of the girls I dated would do.... before any dude i know would.
Yes? No?
but, she is totally LOVING the attention the girls give her
and, its fun to watch... :)
"i'd love to kiss ya, But i just washed my hair"
Tyra Banks is A Tool. Hey
Tyra Banks is A Tool.
Hey girl hey
