My Antonio Recap - Episode 3 - 10 Things We Loved About This Week’s Show

Yvonne is watching you.

ma_3_vj1_55

(And you love it!)

Our list of the things we loved about this week’s My Antonio kicks off with one of the first things that happened:

- Tully’s reaction to Yvonne’s request to speak with her:

ma_3_gif1

Amazing! It’s as though she is studied in the art of face falling.

- The ensuing discussion

ma_3_vj1_1

My Antonio is unmistakably gentler than typical VH1 fare, and yet it’s hard to recall a more savage conversation taking place than the one between Antonio’s ex-wife, Tully, and his mother (who does not want his ex-wife back in the running for his heart). Maybe it’s because there wasn’t screaming and interrupting so you could actually understand every brutal word that was said. Among Yvonne’s take-downs:

“You old news!”

“You make us all miserable!”

“I don’t trust you whatsoever!”

ma_3_vj1_2

They were all delivered as stand-alone declarations, each thrown like a single dagger.

ma_3_vj1_3

Has Hawaii ever felt this cold?

- Fitness!

Hey everyone? Antonio wants to pump (clap)…

ma_3_vj1_8

you up.

While watching this, I couldn’t help but wonder who this was for? The girls, who got…closer to their competitors…

ma_3_vj1_10

…or Antonio, who got to show off the bod some more?

ma_3_vj1_14

The answer?

ma_3_vj1_15

All of the above!

ma_3_vj1_16

ma_3_vj1_17

See?

- The directive: “I want you guys to write a love letter to me.”

Um, does it really count as a love letter if you ask for it? Isn’t that being like, “Pay me a compliment” and then accepting it gladly? “I want them to write to me because when you write something, it comes from the heart,” explained Antonio. It’s especially from the heart if it’s via fuzzy pen…

ma_3_vj1_23

ma_3_vj1_25

ma_3_vj1_26

It’s also important to note that Miranda seemed to employ the help of a crystal for this exercise…

ma_3_vj1_24

Maybe she was gazing into it to see the future because how the hell do you write a love letter to someone you’ve known for only two reality show episodes?!?

The girls, of course, realized this (especially Brooke, who seemed flabbergasted by the idea from the start), and many of them noted that Tully was really the only one who had the experience necessary for the task…

ma_3_vj1_30

Not that she wrote one because that would make too much sense!

Here’s some sampling of the letters so that you can help get your voyeur on:

ma_3_vj1_27

ma_3_vj1_28

ma_3_vj1_29

After Antonio received the letters, he read them on a cliff.

ma_3_vj1_31

He could have fallen off while reading. I hope that’s some indication as to how seriously he takes written declarations of two reality show episodes worth of love. He almost died for them.

In the end, three letters touched his heart the most: those of Autumn, Christi and Tania. Autum’s spoke of love for Antonio she’s held since she was 12. I just got Rock of Love deja vu. Christi’s included the line, “I would walk mountains for you,” which sort of undersells the enormity of the task (everyone can walk, and mountains aren’t parks, you know?). No matter, when Christi got to that very line, Antonio said, “I can’t take this right now!” And then he turned and cried.

ma_3_vj1_33

In an interview, Christi said her letter expressed her desire to laugh and cry with Antonio.”We already cried together already and that was so cute,” she added. Yes. Cute is exactly the word for it.

Tania’s letter read in part: “Enclosed in this envelope is the key to my heart. You’ll find that it’s a little rusty and a little beat up, you can only use it when and if the time is right.” And this sounds figurative…

ma_3_vj1_34

…but it wasn’t.

Christi and Tania went on to win the challenge. At dinner that night, before a boatload of sushi, Antonio raved about Tani’s letter by saying, “I couldn’t put it down!” Was it that long and engrossing? Tania sounds like a regular Sue Grafton. K is for Key.

- This shot of Antonio

ma_3_vj1_32

I don’t know why. He just looks so enlightened.

- The first kiss!

This happened on his following date with Christi. Look at how many angles of it we were treated to:

ma_3_vj1_39

ma_3_vj1_40

ma_3_vj1_41

ma_3_vj1_42

ma_3_vj1_43

ma_3_vj1_44

Fair enough, though. Your first reality show kiss really is a momentous occasion. Aerial shots justified.

- Christi’s willingness to put it all out there

On Christi, Antonio noted, “She’s not shy about being sexy.” Cut to…

ma_3_vj1_47

…censored nipples! Yes, indeed, Antonio. We know exactly what you mean.

ma_3_vj1_46

- Tully’s antics

Obviously, this recap has been light on the Tully thus far, despite the fact that she dominated the episode. It’s just because we wanted to save the best for almost-last.

Tully, Tully, Tully. Where to start?

ma_3_vj1_4

She fell to pieces when Antonio rebuffed her request for wine.

ma_3_vj1_5

Sample exchange:

Antonio: Are you crying again?
Tully: You know what? F*** you.

Playing hard to get, are ya? She added that, “That’s just life. I like crying.” In that case, she’s definitely found her medium.

To go along with her heart injury, she suffered a head injury during the post-workout slipping and sliding.

Fun:

ma_3_vj1_18

Fun:

ma_3_vj1_20

Head trauma:

ma_3_vj1_21

When Antonio comforted her during her time of attention-need, she told him, “I just need the instant impact pain to go away, and then I’ll be OK,”  The fact that she’s carrying a torch for her ex-husband 18 years later, however, suggests otherwise.

And lest you think no one else is onto her…

ma_3_vj1_22

…they are. That said, it’s airtime well spent. Tully’s shining moment emerged in the wake of Antonio announcing he was going to take Christi on a boat ride. From the minute it sprung from his lips, Tully was pissed:

ma_3_vj1_35

And pisseder:

ma_3_vj1_36

And pissedest:

ma_3_vj1_37

She then “hired” a jet ski to interrupt their date.

ma_3_vj1_48

She interviewed, “I went out on a jet ski and I hate jet skis.” However, the jet ski, much like the camera, loves her.

Once aboard…

ma_3_vj1_50

…Tully requested 10 minutes of Antonio’s time from Christi, “woman to woman, mom to mom.” Sure, bring motherhood into it. Watch how they crumble.

ma_3_vj1_51

Instead of, I don’t know, pushing Tully overboard, Antonio stated that he was intrigued by her. Not intrigued enough to keep her out of the bottom two…

ma_3_vj1_54

…being included in which, by the way, produced a single tear from Tully’s eye…

ma_3_vj1_53

But Antonio was intrigued enough to keep her around for another week. Monique, who spent much of this episode complaining about her lack of time with Antonio…

ma_3_vj1_59

…now certainly won’t get any time with him. Oh well.

- The reactions to Antonio keeping Tully again:

ma_3_vj1_56

ma_3_vj1_57

ma_3_vj1_58

And once again, in the game of reactions…

ma_3_vj1_55

…mother does best.

- The plan that’s been set:

During a private conversation, Yvonne gave Christi a mission:

ma_3_vj1_62

Are you as excited…

ma_3_gif3

ma_3_vj1_63

…as they are?

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get back to dry land.

  • Liz Says:

    I howled at Antonio’s “surprise” at seeing Tully on the boat. First of all, it’s difficult to believe you wouldn’t hear a jet ski coming up next to the boat. I also noticed when Tully (allegedly) came out to the boat on the jet ski, she popped up on the boat completely dry to crash the date, but had to jump into the water and swim back to the jet ski to get back. This show is just too funny!

  • cita Says:

    The whole point of this show is for Antonio to end up with a good DECENT girl. If all he wanted was a bimbo with big boobs and no morals he should have just gone to his local strip club! I seriously hope he has some self respect and doesn’t choose the Playmate.
    As for Tully, she needs to have some self pride and MOVE ON. You seriously MAKE US ALL MISERABLE!! Get a life and get a shrink– it’s been 18 years, woman!!

  • Katie Says:

    I just started watching the show. I think these kind of shows are rediculous, but if it works for him, that’s awsome. You should tell him to tell his ex to stop acting like a baby. Pitty is getting her nowhere. She needs to open up and start anew if she wants any chance at winning him back. He is a stong man and needs a strong woman behind him. As for his mother asking another girl to get rid of her, Antonio should kick her of the show.

  • Michelle Says:

    GO FOR TULLY! She’s so adorable how shes fighting for you I actually teared up watching her almost get eliminated, but then you finally kept her in. And, I see how you look at Tully and I know.
    This could be like the next chick flick movie…ex wife fights so many women and ex-mother in-law to get her man back!

    P.S. Go with your heart…not your mom.

  • Lanette Says:

    Wow…from reading all of the blogs. I have to agree about one thing. This show, good or not, would be BORING if it were not for Tully. I would have never watched another one. The producers were brilliant to bring her in. If she’s off, I’m done watching.

  • Marie Says:

    Hi Tully,

    I just want to extend my ears if you need anyone to talk to. Please, don’t be shy. I don’t judge.

  • betty Says:

    Well I think Tully is full of it she had her chance. She just dose not wan him to be happy, that is why she is doing this she dose not care about him, she is a lier.Get rid of her you’ll be better off!!!!

  • betty Says:

    Well I think Tully is full of it she had her chance. She just dose not want him to be happy, that is why she is doing this she dose not care about him, she is a lier.Get rid of her you’ll be better off!!!!

  • Jenna Says:

    I thnk that antonio is very passionate and so openminded with all th girls and my wishes go out for whom ever this beautiful humanbeing chooses.That woman should be very thankful for GOD giveing her a place in his heart. Good luck to Antonio and theLady he chooses.

  • nora Says:

    “GO TULLY” WATCHING THE LAST SHOW MADE ME CRY WHEN SHE ALMOST GOT ELIMINATED! I CAN NOT STAND HOW YVONNE IS TREATING TULLY! BUT THEN AGAIN SHE’S A MOM AND WE ALL WANT THE BEST FOR OUR KIDS…BUT IF ANTONIO WANTS TO FIND LOVE…MOM HAS TO BE OUT OF THE PICTURE!

    OF COURSE CHRISTI IS NOT SHY BEING SEXY…DUH! SHE’S A PLAYMATE…SHE KNOW’S HOW TO PLAY HER ROLE….

    TULLY DON’T GIVE UP! I HOPE ANTONIO WILL OPEN HIS EYES AND SEE THAT YOU ARE STILL IN LOVE WITH HIM…I KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH!

  • cj Says:

    This show is hilarious!!! I love reality tv but this is the most FAKE show i have ever seen. Tully had to show up “to win he EX HUSBAND’S love back”. And she is still on the show (didn’t see that comin!!!) and for her to interfere in Cristi’s date and not get sent home for that type of psycho behavior - again didn’t see that comin..lol!! Oh yeah, lets not forget the love letters to boost Antonio’s ego!

  • lili Says:

    hey antonio i love ur showe ur amzing and ur ex wife is very butifule too.

  • Lisa Wadsworth Says:

    You guys are so dumb. Antonio knew his ex was going to be on the show, this is a SHOW people. He’s going to pick Tully, his mother is going to go ape, then he’s going to dump Tully and then they will have Antonio 2. It’s so predictable. We’re catching on VH1… come up with something new. You’re very good at that and thank God for VH1 because all the network shows are soooooo lame anymore!

  • allison Says:

    I hate that he kept Tully again!!!! I absolutely hate this woman,she had her chance with him and it obviously didn’t work.He came to find a new love, not to get back with Tully.I hope he kicks her off next week cuz shes taking time away from the girls who wanna get to know him and she always adds drama to everything!!!He can do so much better than Tully,go for Brooke!!! Tullys ruining everything for everyone and she makes the show irritating because shes on it!

  • Lorraine Says:

    OMG!! I Hate Tully! She reminds me so much of my husbands ex-wife! She needs to realize if Antonio wanted her he wouldn’t have divorced her 18 years ago. Out with the old and in with the new!! That old run down, ugly poor excuse for a woman needs to get a grip on reality and MOVE ON!!!

  • mdrs Says:

    tully needs psychotherapy and is going to stalk him if she hasn’t already. she’s a miserable mess. i think mom should give her some dirty lickins. antonio is keeping her around because the producers probably told him to for ratings

  • kristine Says:

    Tully do what ya gotta do tho get ya MAN back girl, the others are only after him for the $$$$$$ AND AS FOR HIS MOTHER SHE IS NOT THE ONE WHO WILL PLEASE HIM AT HIS TIME OF NEED……. YOU GO GIRL

  • TullyJensen Says:

    ….I think Im in love with Rich Juzwiak!

  • EFL Says:

    Obviously Antonio is still in love with his ex-wife because he has put up with everything that she has done on the show. She is always asking Antonio to give her the same chance that everyone else has, but from what I can tell she puts no effort whatsoever and still gets away with it. I feel bad for the other girls because they are all putting all their efforts to win Antonio’s heart, but the truth is that they really do not stand a chance. Antonio I like your show, it is entertaining, but I really do not think that true love can be found on a fake show.

  • cassie taylor Says:

    i love this show.i think antonoi is very sleek,bashful,and good looking.i really pray he finds the right woman for himself.please dont pick the former play bunny.she might freak him,and he would lose all he stands for.antonio,please be very careful and follow your heart.i hope you have picked the right one.

  • sldrgirl Says:

    I have made a few observations about some of the women on this show, starting with Antonio’s mother. Evonne, I’m sure mothers all around the world can sympathize with you, what mother wouldn’t want the best for their son (any of their children, to be honest), or wouldn’t do anything for them? But sweetie, Antonio is very much a Big boy now. Hell he’s a Man (and a Fine one at that). He can take care of himself, I’m sure. He doesn’t need you to help him pick who he should spend his life with. I think you should be there to support your sons decision(s) (whether you agree with them or not), and most of all love him. Christi, there is no substance to you. My land you are a Playmate! Although you say Ex-playmate, you still use Sex to lure, manipulate and seduce men and get what you want. When you jumped in the water, you made sure Antonio knew your “swim top” came off! Again using sex to manipulate/seduce a man. Is there anything else to you? Brooke, you’re just like all the women on these Reality Shows(The Bachelorette)looking for a man, You want to WIN! Jennifer and Jessica, the two of you are oddballs. Kinda like fifth wheels, neither bring anything to the show really. Both are boring and just there to get 15 minutes of fame. Julann (I know she was kicked off the show…Thank GOD!) but I feel a need to address this nutcase. If ever there was someone who was “needy,” she was IT! Not to mention self-absored, egotistical, manipulative, psychotic, etc., etc. Need I go any further? Sarah, was a bit needy also, very lost…I won’t beat up on her because I think she just had a lot of issues surrounding her past life. Monique, I liked her. A very classy lady, there just wasn’t a connection with her and Antonio. However, under different circumstaces (without the cameras, one-on-one) I think she would be the best fit for the type of relationship Antonio says he wants. She’s obviously, self-sufficient, smart, and have alot of love to give to a man. Autumn, is too young and I think still infactuated with the “actor” Antonio not the man. Miranda, you are too damn “High Maintenance.” Get a freakin’ life girl! But I like the way you tell Christi, “To get control of herself” (or something like that). Tania another oddball out. I guess I saved the best for last…Tully, Tully, Tully, I admire her tenacity and sticktoitiveness. You gotta give the woman props, she doesn’t or better yet won’t give up. Whether she truly is still in love with Antonio and vice versa, there’s History there and like Monique said, “You can’t compete with history.” Not really. If Antonio wanted to really be rid of Tully, he could’ve had her tossed off the show. Surely he knew she would be on there (meaning it wasn’t a surprise when she showed up). Bottomline it’s a “SHOW!” Entertainment…There will definately be a My Antonio 2. We’ve already seen the clip of a wedding taking place and “Mamacita” Sabato objecting to the marriage…
    Antonio, you want the love story like in the movies, well that’s manufactured–it’s the movies but if REAL LOVE is what you want, you won’t find it on a “reality TV Show.” Because that’s TV. Give me a buzz and I can share somethings with you about the REAL LOVE. Love you won’t find on a “reality TV show.” (I don’t want to go into it on here). But what do you have to lose?

  • Eric Says:

    The best part of this show is the location and the props used on the sets. I really dig the hula girls they use in the elimination tiki hut at the end of each episode. I actually found out where you can get them. http://www.bigbronze.com/search.php?act=searchkw&search_word=hula

  • LLT Says:

    Antonio have a big heart. I hope he will be smart this time around. Christi is a beautiful girl but she is making a name for herself. She wants to market her own name in the web and promote her career. I hope Antonio pick a simple girl who can make her happy. Tully, must move on and save her face. Gee girl you are not bad looking for a 46 yr old but get a man your age, he will appreciate you more and you dont have to compete with this women in their 20’s and make a fool of yourself. Antonio, you mom’s first instinct is always right. christi is not for you in the end. You will see in the end.

  • Tammy Says:

    Tully has no class,,There is a time and a place for everything..The woman needs help.Antonio a train wont run on a torn up track..Get rid of the whack job.All she does is cry,How can anyone be happy with someone so miserable,Grow up,Laugh a little,Get a grip.You have no respect for anyone else or yourself,Quit begging like a helpless rat,,Ur literally pitiful.A real women can show a man she loves him without being so needy,Hold ur head up..and find someone who wants to be miserable with you ,,Let this happy beautiful man find a woman who hasnt already blown it.

  • Mia LR Says:

    honestly Antonio, how could you say you did not have a connection with Monique when you never really tried to spend time with her. You only focused your attention on Tully(the ex-wife) Christi(the sluty playmate) and Brooke(the southern bimbo) because they represented sex to you. They are easy f–ks.The ladies of color like Tania tries to throw herself at you but you only kiss her on the cheek, admire Autumn and dismiss Monique.As for Jennifer (the he/she) she knows you’re only work out buddies.While Miranda lays low waiting for her chance and little mousey Jessica who sounds like “Rocky” tries to show Antonio she has fake boobs too and she is also willing.Antonio you’re a hottie but also a joke.

  • Mia LR Says:

    How can you stand kissing Christi with those blown up lips? They must feel real gushy/yackey. I know that the boobs feel hard( not natural) they also bear serial numbers.You can do so much better than her.What happens after the sex… there is nothing.She does not care what type of life she represents for her child and she will not be the person to resent you.She is a playmate there for all.

  • Grace Gonzales Says:

    I think Antonio is sexy and charming, and would love to meet him in person someday!

  • donna Says:

    I hate the way Christy’s lips are always pouty looking. It looks like she’s doing it on purpose.

  • Jo Says:

    Tully is so mesed up she has like a duble personnality )@_+_)%~+`~*$^~(* and nice. She also seems a little bit deranged. She’s just weird. She’s making a full of herself, she cries every single episode….

  • Heather Says:

    I’m in total support of Jennifer!!! She is so right….who is Antonio Sabato that he can line a bunch of woman & have them lick & suck all over him while the others watch like he is some Greek God?!!! First…he is not that famous to have a reality show like Flavor Flav & Bret Michaels…at least they were part of two musical group that spawned a revolution in the music industry!!! Also they did most of that kind of stuff behind closed doors & not in front of the others as if to flaunt it in thier faces!! Jennifer gives hope to REAL woman in this world….the others allow men like him to do the things they do!! You keep it going for the REAL ladies, Jen & have a “smoke” for me!!!

  • Louise Says:

    Please Antonio, get rid of Tully. She left you before and will do it again. I like Miranda for you, but I’m not picking. Watch those blond girls, they don’t fit you at all. You look to honest and trusting and I do hope your Mom gives her input…a mother can sense a phony a mile away. Think of your future with these girls and think of them as the mother of your children..personally I wish you would go back to Virginia Madsen…you loved each other once…try it again…we love Virginia….what happened????

  • marie Says:

    I WISH TULLY WOULD JUST GO AWAY SHE IS SUCH A DUMMY.. I SWEAR SHE MAKES ME MAD EVERY EPISODE.. I WISH ANTIONO WOULD JUST KICK HER OFF IT DID NOT WORK THEN IT WILL NOT WORK NOW.. SHE WILL JUST DO THE SAME THING SHE DID WHEN SHE WAS WITH HIM… PLAY WITH HIS HEART AND LEAVE IT IN THE DIRT SHE ONLY WANTS MONEY… AND SOME ONE TO SUPPORT HER… I WISH SOME ONE COULD REALLY BRING IT TO HIS ATTENTION… BUT OTHER THAN THAT THE SHOW IS GREAT …

  • Lisa Says:

    Antonio is clearly not looking for love. Interesting TC show though!

  • Chloe Says:

    I want him to pick TULLY!!! It is so obvious that they have always had love for each other, they were just young and it was the wrong moment but I think their hearts have always been with each other! His mother is beyond rude for the things she said to her and the way she acts to people…I hope he sees right through his own mother and is GROSSED out by her actions! UGH!!!!!! GOOO TULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Chloe Says:

    I want him to pick TULLY!!! It is so obvious that they have always had love for each other, they were just young and it was the wrong moment but I think their hearts have always been with each other! His mother is beyond rude for the things she said to her and the way she acts to people…I hope he sees right through his own mother and is GROSSED out by her psycho actions! UGH!!!!!! GOOO TULLY!!!!!!!!!!!! TULLY seems to be the only real one on the show other than the NASA chick and he only has a spark with tully so pick her and kick your mom to the curb please!!!

  • cuchie68 Says:

    I think that Tully should be go. In her interview she says it quite clearly “She will make Antonio Fall in love with her again”. Not once did she ever mention in her interview she misses him & thinks of him or even loves Antonio. Never did she say “She made many of mistakes”. She is selfish, thinks only about herself. Besides does she need is money so she can live in Hawaii.

    Love the show. I wish Antonio happiness & his mother, Yvonne happiness when Antonio finds true love.

  • Paula Says:

    I think CHRISTIE IS A LITTLE NUTTY, AND HAS A PROBLEM WITH BOOZE!

  • Melissa Says:

    I hope that ANTONIO PICKS TULLY… there love is so amazing:)

  • Nina Says:

    Antonio is an idiot for eliminating Tully. You can obviously tell that he’s still in love with her, HELL he told her he was! He’s just a man for ya…just wants a piece of new a$$! Almost all of the contestants on the show are porn stars, especially Christi. If you look up their full names on google, you’d find a lot of nasty crap. I guess that’s what Antonio asked for…that he wanted nasty porn stars with fake everything on his show! Like I said, that’s a man for ya!! Idiots!!

  • John Says:

    Tully you are a beautiful woman. You deserve better.

  • angie Says:

    wh did yvonne think was the right choice for antonio?

  • cheeeeseee Says:

    who wonn?
    anybody know?
