My Antonio or Brooke's Antonio? |Soap Opera Super Hunk Sabato Makes His VH1 Pick
Soap Opera super hunk and former Calvin Klein model, Antonio Sabato, Jr. selected love-contestant Brooke Barlow on the finale of his relationship showdown, ‘My Antonio.’ The show aired on VH1 and DISH Network last evening.
Makeup artist Miranda Reinfeldt was weeded out on the last episode. No doubt her anxiety attack and general meltdown during their second to last interaction (a helicopter tour over the Hawaiian islands) didn’t help her bid for the adventurous star’s affection.
Brooke appeared as elegant, enthusiastic, sophisticated, fun and intelligent. Employed as a nurse (really? She seems nothing like Nurse Ratchet or Misery’s Kathy Bates), Barlow looked, and behaved, as if she could be paired with royalty. She also bears a striking resemblance to Sabato’s ex, Virginia Madsen, with whom he has one son, Jack Antonio. The Italian actor also has a six year old daughter, Mina Bree, born to longtime girlfriend Kristin Rosetti (the couple broke up in 2007 after a six year partnership).
The inside scoop says the Roman-born Sabato (he became a U.S. citizen in the 90’s) and Brooke didn’t last long after the show stopped filming. The winner is quoted as saying they ‘didn’t have much to talk about.’ Antonio Jr. has not yet commented. On the last show, Sabato’s mom asked him, “Do you want to know who I think you should pick?” He answered in the negative. I, however, am terribly curious if Yvonne would have gone with Brooke or the more timid Miranda or, possibly, neither one. Maybe the real Mrs. Sabato will make her opinion known yet. She didn’t strike me as the type to keep things to herself for long.
