Reality dating shows have spurned many hearts over the years, so two contestants of A Double Shot at Love took their chance to speak up about it. Failing to win the affections of the Ikki Twins on the MTV reality show, 23-year-old Elise Young and 25-year-old James Shea instead opened up about their experiences on the series.
Discouraged by her time on the show, Elise noted how she felt the Ikkis were more interested in the male contestants rather than the female. “It seemed like they had more fun with the guys,” she said. “They reacted naturally to them. I don't know if they were scared when it came to the girls. It seemed as though they kind of had a more of a natural situation with the guys.”

The most recent episode of A Double Shot at Love left us asking one question over and over again: is Josh insane or just a pathological liar? In the 5th Episode of A Double Shot at Love, we join the Ikki twins and the six remaining contestants: Trevor, Scott, Josh, Rebekah, Xoe, and Rosemarie. Everything seems to be going swell with everyone: the Ikki's are falling for a couple of the contestants, while making out with the rest of them and the other contestants are getting along really well. Two of them, Josh and Rosemarie are getting a long a little too well; especially if they are really there to find love with Vikki or Rikki, and not with each other.
As we know, Rosie and Josh, have hooked up at least once before, during the first night of residence in the casa de Ikki. Somehow, despite being a reality TV show filled with opportunistic competitors who'd usually scream this information from the rooftop, no one has clued the Ikki Twins in on this make-out session. But that's all about to change, in a spectacularly dramatic way. When the Ikki's call the remaining contestants into the elimination room for "confession time," you know it's all over for the covert-couple.

When we left the Ikki Twins last week, a pox had been thrown upon their house by a jilted lesbian life-guard. After being eliminated, Jen screamed for the Ikki twins and all to hear: "I hope you both fall in love with the same people and have it all go to shit." Well-thrown pox Jen, because it's totally happening. Despite having a mansion full of available, hot-bodied, twenty-somethings of both sexes throwing themselves at them, Vikki and Rikki only have eyes for the same few people: Trevor, Rebekah, and Josh. A problem which we predict will only get ickier.
If tonight's Double Shot of Love episode had been titled the same way Friends episodes were, it would've been called: "The One Where Everyone Cries." For a bunch of 20 somethings living in a mansion, with endless supplies of alcohol and where anything goes sexually--there is an awful lot of crying. Every segment of tonight's show featured someone crying. The main offenders were Nick and Rikki, but Vikki joined in on the water-works as well. Sensitive "singer" Nick seems to have tears that are actually contagious; as every time he's in a room or even mentioned, Rikki breaks down in tears. Rikki swears she has some deep connection with Nick, but the only thing they seem to have in common is lots and lots of crying. Not exactly the basis for a great relationship.

MTV made this season a double with A Double Shot at Love, and the Ikki twins are the talk of the bisexual town. Now that they've gotten exposed on television, Vikki and Rikki recently sat down to discuss their experiences on the show.
Prior to their stint on A Double Shot at Love, the Ikkis were avid watchers of its predecessor, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. “We were huge fans of season one and two, and our manager ended up getting us an interview at MTV for the new girls,” Rikki admitted.

Oh A Double Shot at Love, with your soft-core porn tendencies and lipstick bisexuals, it's no wonder you're a hit. Tonight's Double Shot at Love contained much of the things we've come to expect from an MTV Reality show: people who have become caricatures of themselves, hosts who have not learned the lesson of hosts past, nonsensical challenges, and a little skinny dipping thrown in for good measure.
With their first elimination done, the Ikki twins are ready to really get to know the contestants who are seeking a shot at love with them. The first challenge for the potential-lovers today is the third annual bi-athlon. (Biathlon--get it? MTV is so subtle with these things.) The biathlon, which was really an obstacle course, pitted the boys against the girls for a sexy pool date with the Ikki Twins.

MTV launched exclusive videos detailing the highlights of the second episode of A Double Shot at Love, as well as behind-the-scenes clips of the show. Surprise after surprise came crashing on the reality dating series, when last episode featured the Ikki twins' “big reveal.” Despite the excitement, drama kept flowing in and out of the house immediately. Rebekah and Xoe were pulled aside, because of accusations by Nick.
Apparently, the Ikki twins were informed that Xoe and Rebekah were “touching Josh all night long” even though they were lesbians. It was probably a false claim on Nick's part, and even Xoe said that she was only being nice to Josh and Nick “took it the wrong way."

According to police reports, Kandice Hutchison, known as Kandi on A Double Shot of Love, died tragically while street-racing. Kandi, who was eliminated in the second episode of the MTV reality show, was killed in a car accident on October 21 after she finished filming for A Double Shot at Love.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Star Telegram is reporting that police now believe that the accident that took Kandi's life was caused by illegal street racing and alcohol.

Previously on A Double Shot at Love: The lesbians and guys met the Ikki Twins separately before discovering that they're actually on a reality show with bisexual twins. The guys, conditioned by beer commercials, went insane.
The show's first competition pits the boys against the girls by having them throw paint-filled balloons over a wall to get the other team's twin bed dirty. The unemployed sad sack Ben is forced to sit out. Before time runs out, Jersey boy Scott throws the pillows and sheets over the wall, getting them disqualified.
