A Shot at Love With Selena Gomez: Episode 2
This week on…A Shot at Love…
Selena sits at the “judging” table and watches as the men stride in by the pool in their swim trunks and the girls in their bikinis. She gawks at the shape everyone is in.
Kellan, Taylor L., Zac, and Emily all have six packs and everyone else is definitely in decent shape.
Selena (fanning herself): Okay, I am the luckiest woman alive.
“Welcome to the annual biathlon! The team that wins will get a late night date by the pool with me and the MVP will get special alone time. As for the losers, they get a picnic date and no alone time. And of course, it’s boys versus girls!”
Selena pauses to let the clapping die down. “To win this challenge, you have to army crawl through the mud pit, look through the piles of sand for a coin with a B for boy or G for girl on it, and finally race through the wind tunnel!”
The two sides take a moment to figure out a game plan.
“Go!” Selena blows the whistle.
Kevin: I’m going to be so pissed if we lose. I’m competitive, and to lose to a bunch of girls? It’s not going to happen.
Vanessa: Okay, so the mud pit is gross. But the lesbians have won three years in a row and there’s no way we can be the first ones to lose.
Miley and Kevin are the first ones to go, and Selena is impressed by their athletic ability. Nick and Demi are next, then Taylor L. and Nicole, and then David and Taylor S. They were pretty tied up until it came to Vanessa and Kellan.
“Oh, ew. This is totally going to ruin my swim suit.” Vanessa, disgusted, gets on her arms and nervously lies near the edge of the mud pit. Kellan dives and slides basically the length of the pit and quickly begins his search through the sand.
Emily: I was literally tempted to pick Vanessa up and throw her. Does she not see how hot Selena looks? We have to get the nice date.
“Vanessa, if you don’t move your ass, I will move it for you!” Emily shouts from her spot at the beginning of the course.
Vanessa nervously gulps and makes her way through the mud. Kellan continues his search through the sand for the B coin like a madman.
Emily finds hers in a split second and Kellan angrily growls. “This is a set-up! There’s no fucking coin left!”
Emily laughs as she easily crawls through the mud pit, finds her coin, and slides down the wind tunnel. The girls cheer and the guys whine.
“Looks like the ladies get to swim tonight!” Selena calls out from her chair.
Zac: There has got to be a curse. There’s no other explanation.

Later that day Selena sits on a red checkered picnic blanket and the boys happily sit around her. All except for Kellan. He still has a look of anger on his face.
Selena looks concerned. “Kellan, what’s up?”
“Nothing.”
“You look kind of pissed.”
“Well, I just lost. There was no coin left in that sand.”
“It was just a silly challenge. You’re here for love, not to win a competition.”
Kellan answers stoically, “Yeah, I guess so.”
Selena isn’t convinced.
Selena: Wow, I didn’t peg Kellan for being so serious ALL the time. I mean, I knew he was at the beginning, but I thought it was just sexy. Now…it’s just a turn off.
The group eats the lunches that had been made for them and Selena begins asking them questions about their home lives.
Selena leisurely leans into Nick. “So Nick, do you and Kevin think it’s weird to be competing for the same girl?”
Nick laughs. “It’s not like it hasn’t happened before.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, we had a lot of problems growing up with that sort of thing.” Kevin explains. “We’ve gotten more mature about it now and we just want each other to be happy.”
Selena: I thought having brothers on the show would be okay but knowing that they’ve fought over girls before makes me nervous. I don’t think it’d be right to make connections with both of them.
Selena shifts her position so that she is shoulder to shoulder with David. “Hey, Carpenter.”
David lets out a nervous laugh. “If you call me Carpenter, can I call you Hollywood?”
Selena laughs at David’s nervousness. “You can call me whatever you want. I love nicknames.” Selena answers flirtatiously.
Selena: I don’t know what it is about this guy, but I really like him.
“Actually I have something to tell you.”
Selena looks over to Taylor L. “Yeah?”
“Before we get any farther into it, I just wanted to let you know that there’s someone back home that means the world to me.”
Selena doesn’t answer so Taylor L. continues. “I have a beautiful daughter named Lea. She’s almost six years old.”
“Aw, Taylor, that’s adorable!” Selena coos as Taylor L. takes out the picture of his daughter.
Taylor L: Phew. I thought that would freak her out but she seems to be okay with it.
Selena: I love kids! Honestly, I feel like I’m ready for them.
“Well I hate to cut this short guys, but it’s time for my date with the girls.”
The guys boo but eventually make their way back into the mansion.
“Time to party!” Kevin calls out. All the guys, excluding David, make their way to the bar and drink shots.
Eventually most of them are drunk and they decide to go into the girls closets. The girls are trying to change for the date they are having with Selena later that evening.
“Dude, get out!” Demi yells as Kellan spills beer all over the bikini she had been planning to wear.
“Make me!” Kellan replies immaturely.
Miley hurriedly steps in between the yelling match. “Get out before I actually do make you get out.” Miley puts her game face on.
Kellan scoffs. “Yeah, right. Like you could do anything about it.”
An evil smile spreads across Miley’s face.
THIS EVENT WAS TOO HARSH TO BE SHOWN ON TELEVISION. WE ARE SORRY FOR THE INCONVIENCE.
Kellan limps out of the closet trying to hide the fact that he might be crying.
Demi’s mouth drops open. “How the hell did you do that?”
“50 bucks and I’ll give you lessons.”
“I’m in.”

Finally the girls are ready and they wait by the pool for Selena. She makes her grand entrance in a sexy black dress that was classy but still managed to cover only the necessary areas.
“Congrats on winning.”
The girls clap for Selena. She sits herself at the table in between Nicole and Vanessa. Selena plays with Vanessa’s fingers idly. “So, at the end of the date, the girl who won MVP will have extra time with me.”
Emily: This girl seems great. Funny, wealthy, smokin’ hot. Triple threat.
“I think all of the girls that aren’t here for Selena should just go home now.” Nicole announces to the group.
Selena looks confused. “What are you talking about?”
“All I’m saying is the girls who are here to get a job,” Nicole looks at Vanessa, “and those that are here to be a whore,” Nicole looks at Emily, “should leave now and stop wasting your time.”
Emily: That was a pretty ballsy move by Nicole. I have no idea what the girl has against me, but she’s been trashing my name since I got here.
“I am NOT only here for fashion, Nicole! I think you should have proof of your accusations before you make them, bitch.” Vanessa retaliates.
Nicole is about to say something back when Selena stands up and backs away from the table. “This is ridiculous. I’m just going to take my MVP time and go home because you clearly have no respect for me. The MVP is Miley because she was super athletic and was the first one to go at the race.”
Selena puts her hand out for Miley and they walk towards the pool, the other girls looking on in envy.
Demi (sarcastically): Thanks to loud and louder I didn’t get my chance to make an impression on Selena. Fantastic.
Miley and Selena sit side by side at the edge of the pool, their feet dangling in the water.
“I’m glad we got away from that.” Selena smiles.
“Me too. I mean, we aren’t in high school anymore. We aren’t here to fight with one another.”
“Thank god! Someone finally gets it!” Selena and Miley share a small laugh.
Miley: Note to self: Don’t tell Selena I beat up Kellan.
Miley carefully puts Selena’s hair behind her ear with one hand and then leans in. She gently presses her lips against Selena’s for a sweet kiss but nothing more.
Miley pulls away, her hand still on Selena’s cheek.
“That was nice.” Selena whispers.

It was time for eliminations. Selena gets dressed and consults Jennifer in the bedroom they share. “I think I know who to send home. It’s a pretty easy decision.”
“You know it’ll get harder next week and the week after. You are going to start caring about these people.”
Selena sighs. “I already do care.”
The remaining 12 people gather in the elimination room.
“Twelve of you stand before me, but I only have eight keys. That means two guys and two girls are leaving, tonight.”
Taylor S: I’m really nervous about tonight. I didn’t get to spend enough time with Selena. I could be going home.
“The first key goes to my MVP.”
Miley smiles and accepts her key.
“The next key goes to a guy that was afraid to be honest with me but told the truth anyway. Boy Taylor, you still have a shot at love.”
Taylor L takes his key and returns to his spot.
Zac and Demi are the next to get their keys.
“These next two people definitely have their quirks, but I think that’s what is attracting me to them. David and Emily, you still have a shot at love.”
The two gratefully accept their keys.
“Will the three guys without a key, please step forward.”
Kevin, Nick, and Kellan step up.
“Kevin and Nick, I didn’t think having brothers on the show would be a problem, but considering your past, I realized that it could cause some complications down the road.”
Selena pauses and fiddles with the key. “Kellan, I don’t feel like you are here for me. You here looking for a competition. Your shot at love has ended.”
Kellan: Whatever. It’s not like it’s the end of the world.
“Nick, you’re a song writer and you help out your old high school. You seem to be a really cool guy. And Kevin you are also pretty chill, but I’m just not attracted to you that way. I’m sorry, but your shot at love has ended.”
Nick smiles briefly before being sucker punched in the face by Kevin. Before any more punches can be thrown, Miley and Zac drag Kevin off of Nick and he is thrown out of the mansion.
Kevin: What a douchebag, the guy steals every girl I’m ever interested in.
Nick (rubbing his sore cheekbone): I thought we were over that kind of stuff. Looks like people really don’t change.
“Could the three girls without a key please step forward?”
Nicole, Vanessa, and Taylor S step forward.
“The girls elimination was a lot easier to make, thanks to the drama you guys created. I should learn to stick with my instincts, because they were right from the beginning. Vanessa and Nicole, your shot at love has ended.”
Taylor S: I don’t know if I should be happy that I got a key. Was it because she likes me or because Vanessa and Nicole messed up?
Taylor S accepts her key and Vanessa storms out.
Vanessa: She has one less shopper for her clothing line, I can tell you that much!
Nicole stands her ground in front of Selena, her arms crossed.
“Do you want to know why I hate Emily so much and why I had to make such a huge deal?”
Emily: Uh oh.
“Why?”
“I’ve slept with her before and she doesn’t even remember it!”
Next week...on a Shot at Love...
Emily explains her side of the story, and the cast votes for who they think is best and worst for Selena.
