Gothamist: When Your Ex is Fabio, Expect Rejection

Show just finished in the uk: She definitely should have picked Brian but just went to prove how shallow most good looking girls are. If Brian and Gil looked the same then Brian would have won it, no doubt at all. At the end of the day he was an honest down to earth guy and would have treated her like a princess - but as it was what a crazy ending! The big bad Fabio, so what!!! I had to do a search to find out how bad this man was. I thought he must be a brothel owner or something and that she was one of his girls. I had only watched a few episodes and didn't know about this secret thing so was in complete shock. Fabio, oh my god he must be a terrible person I thought fo Gil to get so freaked out. Larissa must be infected with sexual transmitted illness and is a dirty whore was what Gill's reaction made me think. Gill was never into her because he thought of her as a slut with all the dates and joining herself to the mouths of every man she had a date with (25 was it). He was an actor and wasn't into her really so that's why he overreacted. As for Brian the reason Larissa cried on their last date when he opened up and told her how much he loved her was because she knew she was going to pick Gill. I was hoping that Larissa would have gone back to Brian and I even now hope that she does although knowing her type I doubt that she ever would and it's her huge loss.

I for one, never heard of Fabio, so I did a search in Google. Hmmmm, now I know! Personally, if it was Brian he would have accepted her and got on with screwing the bitch.

I just saw the last episode here in New Zealand... ROFL.. I also thought that the secret was she was a MAN... but that was the best ending!! the only thing bad I thought was what happened to brian! But then he got the pleasure of knowing she made the wrong choice! Sick ending but excellent, Im sick of happy endings.

Thankfully, the Internet as a medium allows us to be somewhat detached: I can't forgive Peeteey as I totally agree with Peetey! Anyway, it would have made for wonderful TV if she'd chosen Brian.

Whats wrong with fabio? I just don`t get it! I thought he had killed someone, or someting like that. Why thw hell did he get so mad? I don`t think the it would work between them anyway. And poor Brian. He should have won. He was soooooooo real. I think Brian loved her and Gil didn`t. It`s so obvius.

I think he reacted like that because he deep down is really a poor insecure sob, frightened that he would never surpass her famous ex-boyfriend and rock her world like no other ever had (which would leave him in a position of power and self-gratification in the relationship, which he is in desperate need of). Oh ya and he probably had an unbeliviably small dick too...

THANK YOU, TIEN!! My hubby disagrees but I think he looks exactly like "Joey." Glad to know someone else is on the same wavelength!!

FABIO, FABIO....You don't understand why Gil was upset about Larissa dating Fabio? Gil was upset because he is still in love with Fabio....

Saw Larissa and the beau she choose this morning before their appearance on FoxNews. They were all over each other....It took everything I had not to scream..."You are nothing like Fabio!"

Jennifer

Yes, Fabio is cheesey, but is he any more cheesey than some tool than goes on a reality tv show to meet the love of his life? The ending was absurd!

We all knew about the Fabio thing so I agree it was a big disappointment. God, how great would the I am a man have been... But now I'm confused. What was the big deal about her dating Fabio (yeah, he's a loser but haven't we all snogged losers at one time or another?) Was it too goofy for the guy to handle? His friends would tease him? Was that what it was all about? I'm confused.

I think they gave the secret away on leno friday night. i remember him bringing up her relationship with fabio and she kept tryin to get leno to shut up.

i tuned in for the last fifteen minutes and when i learned about the shocking twist i almost yelled at the guy for the way he reacted. it's fabio! your first response should be to ask if she was dating him when the bird slammed into him during a roller coaster ride! (http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,4545,00.html?eol.tkr) hearing the behind the scene details of that incident would be a lot more interesting than sending an average joe off on a bus.

Jake and I were hoping for "but I am a man" revelations since the teasers started running...I also thought having a kid might be it. But Fabio? That's classic. Next time I want to have a "we need to talk" conversation, I'm bringing up Fabio.

I also so wanted her to be a man. It was so absurd that, 1. I was watching this show, and 2. The "Hunk" was mad over Fabio. My roomate just started lauging when she told America her "secret." Please! Michal Jackson has a "secret," you dated Fabio. Heh. My other best "secret" ideas were: Kid Former Marriage Terminal Illness Already Married
