She finally cuts to the chase, and announces that she wants to take a shot at love with ... Bobby?! What the hell? Bobby's eyebrows shoot up in shock, and my jaw drops to the floor. Are you fucking kidding me? As Tila hangs the key around Bobby's neck and they embrace, Dani does the classy thing and respectfully walks away. Meanwhile, Tila's still swapping spit with Bobby as the music changes to an ominous song, and flashbacks of Tila kissing Dani begin to splice into shots of her kissing Bobby. Is she going to change her mind? I'm so confused.
Does this mean I get to see more of those ellyvaytor things and go to exotic locales like Ohio with you?
Bobby lets go of Tila, and Tila finally realizes Dani is gone, and takes off after her calling her name. Upon hearing it, Dani stops dead in her tracks and turns around hopefully while Bobby nervously plays with the key necklace. Honestly, this whole thing seems a little staged to me - just too many cameras in the right places for such a sudden, dramatic moment. Tila catches up to Dani, and they embrace with Tila sobbing out an apology. As Tila tells us, she loves Dani, but she's in love with Bobby. After all, what's not to love? The rampant insecurity? The sophomoric humor? The trashy family? Dani leaves for good this time, telling us that she really thought it was real and that she just doesn't know what she's going to do now. Here's my advice - put yourself back out there, and you'll have more women than you can handle fighting over you - both gay and straight, judging from the comments here at the 'gasm! Dani rocks, how can you not have a girl-crush on her?
Stupid vagina. Why couldn't I have had a penis?
Tila returns to Bobby, and he tells her that he didn't think he was going to win. That makes two of us. She tells him she's excited to be his lover, his boo, and maybe even his wifey. There are so many things wrong with that sentence. First, does anyone still use the term "boo" anymore? And second, both the word and the idea of "wifey" make me want to hurl. And third, stop pretending you aren't going to be sick of his sheltered, small-town ass within a few weeks at most. They both tell us that they found the love they were looking for, and Tila leads him up to her bedroom and closes the door. How romantic! I wonder if they have a similar chandelier in there...
That's our last regular episode guys, but there's a reunion on this Sunday with the entire, lovable cast that I'll be doing a quick pre-Christmas recap for. So tell me what you think - did Tila make the right decision? Were you as shocked as I was that she picked Bobby? And do you think there's any chance of this relationship lasting longer than a few weeks? My honest take on this is that Tila really did have a stronger connection to Dani, and truly did care for Dani more. But she took the coward's way out, got too scared at the thought of having a real relationship with a woman, and picked Bobby because he's safer and trainable, like a dimwitted puppy. Oh well. Even though she lost, Dani's still walking away the winner. Team Dani!

Tila knows which way her bread is buttered: there is way no way in a paycheck she'd have ever settled on a girl.
Meanwhile, Dani's pulled out the extraordinary feat of escaping tv's sewerest show with class and dignity.

I wanted Dani to win, but really, I'm kind of glad she didn't - she is WAY too good for Tila.

Was there any surprise that she picked Bobby? I dont think tila could handle Dani and a relationship with her, so she went with the safer choice.
Im sure Dani is having no problem finding someone on the same level as herself.
By the way Bobby looked so much better on that aftershow :)

Dani seemed cool but would anyone with any dignity even go on this show?

"No offense, but your halitosis is causing birds to drop dead from the sky. No offense, but those pants make your ass look fatter than it normally does. No offense, but you're a dirty whore who should have learned something from your sister, Jamie Lynn. See? It never ends well." Awesome...so very awesome, LoLo.
I was shocked that she picked Bobby, but she did say at the very beginning of this whole trainwreck that while she is bisexual, she prefers lipstick lesbians, so perhaps Dani's lack of girliness tipped the scales in Whiner Bobby's favor. Either way, Dani will be fine. I echo the sentiment of everyone here at Gasmi (and all over the world): she's too good for a slag like Tila, and one day she'll see that see side-stepped a landmine.
Can't wait for your reunion show recap. The little preview show they did immediately after the finale gives us some hope that the guy hosting will be a lot funnier that previous reunion show hosts. His post-finale show was very Joel McHale from "The Soup".

Tila obviously didn't pick Dani because she wanted a Shot of Love 2. Bobby is such a girl.

Am I the only one who thinks that the producers made her pick Bobby so 1. She can break up with him with enough time to shoot Shot at Love 2 and 2. So Dani and her grandma can have her own dating show?! I was glad Tila didn't pick Dani -- just proves that she's the sad little mushroom head I thought she was. And Dani is definitely better for it.

Not surprised she picked Bobby, but disappointed- why don't the "good" people ever win?
GO DANI!
And they're already casting for A Shot at Love 2 with a mystery bachelorette... hmmm...

LOVED all the recaps, thanks so much for devoting yourself to this drivel so we could all come together & bond by laughing & pointing at silly, silly Tila.
Definitely agree on the surprize about Bobby but for the best, for Dani escapes the drudgery of the show. I'd LOVE to see a Dani spinoff ... it'd really be a shame if the true reason was that the producers wanted her to pick a male over female contestant ...
... but then again, I never really bought the whole "I'm a bisexual" bit anyway.
BTW, agreed, the "no offense" lines - classic!! :) (Umm, we're talking to YOU, Jamie-Lynn!) ha ha

I wanted Dani to win, but I'm OK she didn't, for all the reasons everyone's mentioned.
They're casting A Shot at Love 2? With a mystery bachelorette? GO DANI! That'll go well with That's Amore! Starring: Domenico and umm.... I'll let the reunion special fill you in on that little bit of comic genius.

No question; Dani was by far the classiest person on the show. So glad she dodged the Tila bullet.
Hard to tell if Tila was serious about picking Bobbi; either way, don't see that relationship working out.
I hope Dani doesn't leave this experience changed in a bad sense. She is just fine the way she is.
