A new lesbian reality show could be coming to our TV screens

Forget about Tila Tequila, Flava Flav, Bret Michaels and all those other psuedo-celebs who have used television to find love — there’s a couple of reality TV stars who actually did find love and they want to show it to the world. Why should you care? Well, my dears, because you and I have probably asked for it: It’s a lesbian reality star couple.

The psuedo-celesbian couple du jour are Lisa Rizzo and Brooke LaBarbera, who took to their joint Twitter account to hint at the new show for several weeks. The latest:

For those of you who actually stuck around for season 2 of A Shot at Love, you might remember Lisa. Personally, I couldn’t get over the fact that Dani wasn’t picked during the first season so I boycotted everything Tila-related (except for actual tequila). From the fan videos I’ve seen of her, and the video footage she’s shot on YouTube, she seems like an incredibly down-to-earth practical joker from Jersey.

Brooke, I remember vividly (sometimes in nightmares), from her stint on The Real World: Denver. If you don’t remember which of the castmates she was, just watch the first 10 seconds of the screaming “previously on."

Normally I’d be like, “Oh there is no way in hell I want to revisit that,” but I want to give Brooke the benefit of the doubt when it comes to changing. In fact, it seems as though even she wasn’t pleased with her former self.

Brooke was "straight" when she was on The Real World, but later showed off her Sapphic side when she engaged in some make-out sessions with out lesbian Evelyn on some of the Road Rules/Real World challenges. Also, she's listed as a "speaker on LGBT issues" with the MM Agency. (Also, "anxiety, depression, overcoming fears, conflict resolution, communication, and growing up in Nashville.")

The girls are celebrating their first year of coupledom in the next few months, which is great. I totally wish them well and hope that their relationship can survive the cameras. Would you be tuning in if it becomes a, um, reality?

    Why are their eyes

    Why are their eyes all squinty?  Is that supposed to be sexy?  It's kind of annoying. =/ They look like they are in a tired drunked haze...

    lol

    Too bad Lisa always looks like that... Looking high is really not it. Not it at all.

    Lemonade is good.

    disagree!

    I would have to disagree with you on that, the high look is sooo sexy...

     but Lisa always seemed liked super dyke to me, didn't she win like all the competitions? eh, I'll tune in for the lesbian fact and i hope it works out for the two, but I still wish it were Dani. 

    Studstatus's picture

    yeah

    I know that it sounds crazy and everything but I want to see what happens so I will be tuning in
    Ashley's picture

    RIZZO!

    ill totally be tuning in for sure. i was a total lisa fan and still am! i love her. but i mean seriously? brooke? that girl is CRAZY. but who knows, if lisa has been with her for almost a year, this girl has to be something special.
    Enillehs's picture

    I'm seriously...

    distracted by that chicks chin. But, if it does. I must have to be really bored to watch this.
    Jazzbie's picture

    Ally's picture

    Hmmm..

    With my work and school schedule I don't have a whole lot of time to watch tv, but I may tune in just to check it out if this gets picked up for a show.

    I LOVED LISA!

    Will be tuning in! :D

    Dear God, Why?

    Dear God,

    Why?

    P.S: Wtf?

    relax devenny's picture

    ^^

    ^^ Hahahaha. I thought, "Why?" too.

    I love the idea of there being a lesbian reality show....but WHY THEM?!?! I highly doubt it'd be on air long, it just doesn't seem appealing in the slightest bit.

    brackishtea's picture

    I love lesbians on

    I love lesbians on television, but why them? Why not Dani?

    If it was Dani, I would be really really happy. My reaction would have been similar to when I found out that Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis might be sharing a love/sex scene.

    I can feel my legs with this news.

    Plus Brooke is nuts, in a good way but still nuts.

    ohbrietta's picture

    Especially when I'm alone.

    I think i'm on the same wavelength as you as to why I'd want Dani on my TV ALL THE TIME. 

    I will jump up and down when it's announced that there's a reality show that's not about two thin, stereotypically attractive femmes who have BOTH already been on reality television. 

    brackishtea's picture

    Why do I find Dani so

    Why do I find Dani so sexaaay!?!

    I think it's when she walked out in her firefighter outfit, I was in lust. Since then I started to consider women who are not so femme!

    I seriously think she should have a show or something. If it was a dating show on Logo, I would watch, hell I might even sign up and make a ham (hot ass mess) out of myself.

     

    it is what it is. 's picture

    yuck.

    they are both terribly annoying. i'm sure it will be a failure of a show BUT i have to admit i often fall victim to mindless junk like this... yikes.

    and yeah, that CHIN.  

    Reichel's picture

    YEI!

    pseudo lesbians,"reality tv", alcohol, cameras... yei!!!!! im so excited..wait a sec...thats the reason i dislike reality tv, IN GENERAL...though i do like alcohol and photo cameras ahaha

    Brooke and Lisa

    i think theyre great together i would def tune into a show for them..i saw the tweet and thats what it did seem to be hinting at!
    Audie22's picture

    Lisa is hot

    I've seen Lisa on a couple different things and I think she has a lot of charisma. Every time shes on something I can't help but watch. I'm mesmerized.
    OliviaKelly's picture

    They're hot in the first

    They're hot in the first picture. Mmmhmm. I've given up on reality tv.

    Kelsey's picture

    Not sure.

    I would have to watch a few episodes.  I get sick of reality TV fast. So if it doesn't hook and pull me in within 2 episodes I may have to pass.  BUT I am intrigued none the less.   :)

    uhhhh noooooooooooo
    Ashley's picture

    Simply...

    This does not seem like it would do the lesbian community any good.

    rosixi's picture

    Agreed :) , but still they

    Agreed :) , but still they can do what they want

    The things is if the show will be a success or not..Anyway, I probably would watch it a couple of times to see how it is, idk..or probably not

    srsly

    i'd be hard-pressed to think of a bigger trainwreck airing- EXCEPT PERHAPS this sign of the apocolypse that occured recently:

     

    its official- reality tv has gone too far

    brackishtea's picture

    You mean...

    Oh dear god!

    *Goes into bomb shelter

    dragonlady07's picture

    im so sorry

    the worst part is that its not even photoshopped. all we need is michael lohan and... hmmm... missing the 4th horseman- you may be safe for the time being.
    Sportylady's picture

    See that...

    light at the end of the tunnel?  Yeah, it's a train wreck waiting to happen.

    I'll dodge this one.  I am having a really hard time taking these two seriously.

    ShanteParadigm's picture

    ummmm...

    I can't tell them apart. Also, it appears that Brooke just had breast cancer surgery???!?

    ha I liked Lisa on a shot at

    ha I liked Lisa on a shot at love. I'd much prefer the show to be about Britany-Rae though. GOD. What a woman.

    Lisa was a jerk

    That whole show was a joke....but lisa was seamed like a douche to me. The way she talked to Tilla...I will not be tunning in, rather watch Law & Order.
    azcaramel's picture

    Make that Law & Order: SVU

    Make that Law & Order: SVU and I'm totally down.

    oh no.

    why does this seem so totally unnecessary?

    Oy!

    It's so hard for me to take Brooke seriously -- changed or unchanged.

    I can only wish we get our own reality lesbian show in Asia. So sad.
