So this guy goes from being an unknown Soap actor to a "desireable" bachelor? Why exactly? We never know. If you're able to get past the fact that this guy is just your typical nerd that worked out and got his body into good physical shape in order to attract SOME attention, then you're on to the typical scenario.. a selection of women (thank goodness a better breed than what Rock of Love attracts) who are willing to make fools of themselves in order to be on television.
The audience painfully watches as Antonio humiliates each Woman with his juvenile competitions. The winner gets to spend a few precious moments with him. Yuck! To add another weird element, his Mother is at every elimination with a scrutinizing look on her face. She sits at the table and scowls and rolls her eyes whenever the opportunity presents itself. So should we believe that he's a traditional, respectful, Mama's boy? Well that doesn't fly since his ex-wife joins the game after 10 years of separation from "Mama's Boy" and we know his Mother never approved of her. So Moms opinion obviously isn't valued much! The girls are obviously on the show in order to further a career or get noticed by a guy they might actually like. This one is also different because when the girls are asked to leave, they act as casual as they would be exiting a Taxi cab.
I'm sure Antonio's goal is much the same.. to appeal to an audience beyond the soap scene. I'm not sure the show did much to create a positive image for him.
The challenges he presents to the contestants are juvenile, giving more examples of what a goof he really is.
I thought I'd seen the worst of the VH1 reality shows, but this one tops the bunch! The others are outrageous, while this one seems to actually be attempting to present something classy and serious.
If this comes out for another season, do yourself a favor and go for a bikini wax. It's much less painful. Even if it was for real, how many times can you watch one person make bad choices? For the sole reason that these girls don't spend the entire time trying to beat each other up, get drunk, or sneak off to sleep with the 50 year old has been of a rock star, I give this show a generous "1" point.
VH1 has had some good shows on (Behind the Music and T.I.'s Road to Redemption). They should stick to current musicians and their lives.
Just an opinion!
