Average Joe, Hawaii

[gymnasticsmom68]

Now they are bringing Adam back...

Lord, I pray he's learned how to shave!! I would have dumped him just for that alone!

They went on a nice fancy date in New York and he didn't bother to shave, there's no way in heck I would have went into a nice restaurant with him if he couldn't take 5 minutes out of his life for a little personal grooming.

Why did Gil care that Larissa once dated Fabio? That wasn't much of a secret ... I thought she might have a kid and another one of my friends thought she might be a man (that would have been fun!)

Actually, I thought on the first show Melena (I think that was her name) picked the real Average Joe. She may have picked the better looking guy but Adam was written up in Forbes and had his own business. The other guy was just a student who wasn't really sure what he wanted to do. Just my opinion I'm glad that we're going to see more of Adam though!

What kind of BIG secret was that?

Then that stupid reaction to it. Get over yourself buddy!

Ya Larissa, you should feel ashamed of yourself and rejected. You tried to pull off a "Meredith" and everyone lost this time.

 

[CBRorBust]

Yeah, put yourself in his shoes, he got to be on TV, date a beautiful woman and had her fall for him, so that he could dump her because he's a shallow loser. Poor guy!!

You forgot about the free trip to Cabos San Lucas! Or where ever they went together!

I still don't get the whole Fabio thing...what is up with that? Can maybe one of the DIS men explain it to us!

And I agree with pwp22 I feel like this show has been such a freaking waste of time! I actually believe that she was going to pick "Baw-st-un" as we like to call him in my house! LOL!

 

[Stepharoonie!]

I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE DIDN'T PICK BRIAN!!! ARRUUUGGHHH!!!

My boyfriend actually YELLED at her! I've never seen him yell at the tv before

 

[Barb]

For a fleeting second, I thought they'd bring Brian to the resort to comfort Larissa. Wouldn't that have been interesting??

 

[gymnasticsmom68]

I like to think they called him, but he was busy.

Now they are bringing Adam back...they guy that rejected on the 1st show! And he gets to pick the women, but from the preview tonight those girls didn't look ""Average"" by any means....or is it just him that's the average joe???

Gotta go watch channel 7-Boston news now...

I agree! No average women there!
BTW, I love channel 7-Boston news!! I miss *real* news. The closest I can get is in Miami, they have a channel 7 affiliate with a couple of newscasters that used to be in Boston.

Well they just did a quick thing from some bar in Boston and they showed quick interviews with Tony and Phuc....both "Average Joes on this show...Tony is from Amherst, NY(the artist) and Phuc is a local boy from Brockton. they were both rooting for Boston Brian!!...they showed awesome reactions from the crowds...then by the end of the news cast they showed how disappointed all of New Englanders were.. "Tony" had a real cutie on his arms at the end of the broadcast!
Going to catch the beginning of Jay Leno show to see if he says anything...she was on there Friday night with both Brian and Gil...& I
Can't wait for the "Today Show" on Tuesday morning, dying to see who she shows up with!

bunnyfoo: No on the 1st Average joe Adam was rejected...she picked the so-called "Hunk" and flew off with him.

 

[UncleKyle]

That made for great television. The guy she picked obviously had some self esteem issues and then he just left! My roomate and I were clapping. It was perfect, she got what she deserved and the average joe walked away with the real prize. A life without her.

 

[FINFAN]

Fabio? For Real? I wonder who dumped who in that realtionship! So we are to believe that she loves Gil right? Since she dumped Brian because she did not love him....I think these beauty queens are making the rest of us gals look better every day...I agree w/everyone else....Shallow, shallow, shallow. I bet Fredo had a chuckle or two.

I am sooooo disappointed. I was so hoping she would make the right decision. but she got hers. I cannot believe the blond guy was upset about her dating Fabio. OMG. How stupid is that? Great way to get out of it though. I hope they have a "After Average Joe". And I hope they have a Average Joe with Brian Worth. Nice guy. But would he fall in love with an average Jane like me?

 

[Shel]

My heart just sunk for Brian Worth tonight. What a great guy he was, and he sure didn't deserve to have his heart broken the way that Larissa broke it. I also wondered if he'd show up at the end to comfort her, but I realized that he doesn't deserve someone shallow like she obviously was.

Oh I know that I just thought that the "hunk" was the real "Average Joe" as he was just a student where as Adam had his own business and was already established.

 

[mommytotwo]

I don't understand about the Fabio bit. Maybe a guy here can answer this and let us know why it would be weird to date someone that used to date Fabio. Yeah he is on the cover of a novel, but he is a regular person also.

 

[Kteacher]

Okay, did anyone else laugh out loud when she said her big secret was that she used to go out with Fabio( famous for modeling for romance novel covers, being on Regis and Kathy Lee, hawking ICBINB, and having a seagull fly into his face while he was riding a rollercoaster )? Was this news supposed to shock people or make them feel sorry for her

 

[jacksonsmom]

I can't believe her "BIG" secret was sating Fabio! Who cares????

I felt so sorry for Brian, he really had feelings for her & He seemed to be the only one that really cared about her.
I knew right away she was going to pick Gil. I told DH that too, he said "no way"
She is just so shallow, how could any woman not want to get to know a guy who treats you so right, better????

BUT...she got hers in the end!!! In the beginning of the show I said to DH "Gil is too immature" well, he really proved that, didn't he???

I am planning on catching the Today Show.

 

[Robinrs]

I stopped watching this show a few weeks back because it seemed so fake and scripted.... I watched last night to find out the big "secret" but fell asleep!

BOY am I glad I did! How STUPID was THAT????

I hope they don't make anymore of these.... they lost their audience after THAT charade.

As for the Average Joe with the not too average girls, remember Bob and Meredith from the Bachelor series, Adam will be different as the chooser. Something about being the loser made these people endearing, there is something less endearing about being the one who chooses.

 

[mckryan]

I'm still aggravated with this the next morning. The had teasers throughout the show about the secret and showing Gil and Brian reacting to it. Did they pull that footage out of context or did they really interview Gil after he found out and told Brian to get his reaction? The whole ending was flat, and made the audience feel like they had wasted the last few weeks watching the show.

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

I can't believe how Gil reacted to the big "secret." What is the big deal about dating Fabio. Gil said every man in America would understand his reaction? Fabio is just another guy...why react that way?

About Adam, I loved Adam on the last show but now I am afraid he will be used just because he has money. All those girls will know he has money if they watched the last show and hopefully they won't just use him for his money.

I was voting for Brian. I honestly thought she would choose him, poor guy how dissapointing for him. He may never be able to share his feelings again with a girl because of what Larissa did to him!!!
