Average Joe 2--Hawaii

[ShainaT]

You might be right Shainie. I don't see her with Fredo. No sparks there. I don't know that much about Gil. I would guess that she is going to have Brian and Jim in the final two.

I felt bad for Tony last night. He was totally surprised and looked like he was about to cry. It is tough when you think you have this amazing connection with someone and the other person just doesn't feel the same way.

Larissa dressing up as 'her mom' was funny ... but she still had the young voice, and I don't know how they didn't know it was her because of that. I know they thought they saw her hug her mom and friend and then leave, but, still, you'd think they could tell. I think the guys were just so intimidated by the very stern looking 'mother', they could hardly look at her.

Michael C. was cute, but he just didn't know when to shut up. How many times can you blurt something out ... and keep sticking both your feet in your mouth? After awhile, the 'apologies' just don't cut it.

[Shainie]

Well Fredo took off. He was still my favorite. I probably wouldn't have stayed after seeing her make out with Jim either. (I think that's his name?) I had to laugh about him saying "People think I'm stupid". Then later when she was at his hometown, and he pretty much was stupid. Her - "What was the last book you read?" Him - "Um, book?"

He sure was easy on the eyes, but that doesn't create a relationship.

Now I haven't a clue who she's going to pick.

Names are slipping my mind at the moment - but the "average joe" isn't that bad looking, but that accent is enough to make me slit my wrists!

The good looking guy is nice, but he doesn't have a lot of spark.

So I'm at a loss. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Larissa has to pick Brian! I really hope that she doesn't pick Gil. Gil doesn't bring much to the table IMO. I was shocked when she sent Jim home. I was sure that the final two would be Jim and Brian.

The only thing that scares me about her picking Brian is that they show Larissa in the previews for next week crying hysterically at the end of the show...she wouldn't be crying like that if she was sending Gil home.

Too bad for Fredo! He shouldn't have had to see (and hear!) that!

The thing about these dating shows is that the person always seems to pick the exact opposite of the person that I would pick. (Trista SHOULD have picked Charlie over Ryan, etc.) I really hope that Larissa is as smart as she seems and picks Brian!

Shainie--guess you've never been to Boston, huh? A lot of people there talk exactly like Brian! You get used to it after a while....

That's exactly the thought I had. In every elimination, she was way more torn up about sending one of the "joes" home. So when I saw her so upset in the previews, I'm thinking she must send Brian home.

I will be pretty irate if she picks Gil. The producers love to fool us though.


~Shaina (who watches way too many reality shows in the first place and then spends way too much time thinking about them.)

We just saw a new commercial- Larissa asked Gil what he hopes comes out of this meaning the relationship and he replies, I hope to become an actor."

What do you think is the twist she has?

[3tbear]

Calling the woman beaver was crude, I wouldn't want a guy like that even if I was single.

BTW, did anyone see the previews, about how the girl has some deep dark secret? They showed the guy was Boston looking shocked when he found out. My guess is that she was born a man. What do you think? Is that too crazy or do you have ideas as to what it could be? I've been missing all of the shows. If it's on T or W I won't be able to watch so please keep me filled in if she picks a nerd or a hottie.

[ShainaT]

3tbear- The finale is Monday at 10pm on NBC. If you've missed ALL the shows then it is probably too late for you to try to catch up.

Haha...I see no chance of that being her secret either. She was a Miss America runner up so I doubt they would have let someone that was born a man compete.

I have no idea what the TWIST is. Can't even guess. I just hope she picks Brian and they go off on the trip happily ever after!

*SIGH* I'm so disappointed and well, kinda disgusted with the season finale that I don't know if I could watch another Average Joe show.....

[Tracir]

It was strange- we knew she dated Fabio when the show started. But it must be a guy thing because Mike hates Fabio- and I do see why Gil would be mad. I don't know if it's a GA only thing but Fabio does lottery commercials here- he's a lifeguard at a woman's pool after she wins the lottery.

Brian was just so sad- he really laid his heart on the table so I think Larissa got what she deserved.

I told my sister the other day- she's single that you don't marry the "Ken" of the world (reference to Barbie) You marry the nice guy that's going to love you no matter what and be a great husband and father.

[the dude]

I'm simply disappointed. Both Brian W. and Gil are screwed. Brian W. is screwed big time.

Kind of sad considering me and Brian W. are ominiously sharing many similarities both personally and professionally. Larissa decision further reinforce my stand on gals nowadays. Brian W. does not deserve to be humiliated like this in front of the National TV.

For me the only surprise would be her so-called dark secret isn't something like working as an escort when she is in college or being an ameteur porn stars (Penthouse pet...I don't think so cause hers aren't man-made).

Larissa got what she deserved when Gil just left her on the spot. The only regret would be Gil did not take the chance to "turn" the table and literally laying a smack down her candie ***. Still I don't think she really care a damn thing. She should go back to her ex and be a superfical person she really is.

Ewww she once dated a guy 17 years senior than her. Guess she is ultimately looking for gold-plated sugar daddy if Anna Nicole Smith
can be any guide.

F**k, I am sick to the stomach to know someone that superifical share the same birthday with me and claim to be every bit as a Virgo!!

Oh yeah, didn't I tell you guys Sen. John McCain and the wacko Jacko have the same birthday date as Larissa?

[YorkieLover]

I could tell Larissa wasn't going to pick Brian by the way she was kissing him. She was crying at the ballpark because she knew she was going to break his heart. She said she knew that Brian would treat her 'like a queen' ... but she still picked Gil, even though she had a problem with his not being able to 'open up to her', so I guess she just so wished it would work. I don't understand him getting so disgusted by her ex-boyfriend being Fabio. Really, I don't get it. It's over and that's in the past. It's almost like he was looking for ANY reason to dump her and leave. He was obviously only after exposure for his hopeful 'acting career'. What a disappointment. I am disappointed for Larissa and for Brian. I hope Brian can stop being so hurt and chalk this up to a life experience, and know that someday he will find the woman that appreciates him for what he can offer.

I hope that this is the last Average Joe show. The average Joe does not stand a chance. The only thing that Gil had going for him is his looks. Other than that he just seemed to be a blob. I felt so bad for Brian. He was so hurt. I wish she would have told him right away she was not picking him and not draw it out. I am so happy that Gil dumped her. I really don't understand why he was so upset but I don't care.

[ShainaT]

I was so certain that she was going to pick Brian. Right up until I saw Gil get out of the limo first. I was like WTF!!

Anyone else cry when Brian got out of the limo? I could not stop crying. Poor guy.

Anyone see the Today show this morning? I know Larissa was on and I'm curious what she said.
