Antonio SabĂto, Jr., who headed his own VH1 show — My Antonio — last year, is getting back into the reality game by dropping by Logo’s floral design competition The Arrangement next week for a gig as a guest judge. The episode is set to air Monday at 11/10c. Check out the episode’s trailer, sent to us by our friends at Logo (which, like VH1, is part of MTV Networks) and get ready to swoon all over again:
Ask your average schlub what VH1′s most celebrated body part is, and he’d tell you “boobs,” thanks to the sea of silicone this network has sailed on for the past three or so years. But times are changing! Repeatedly, VH1′s reality programming has shown love for feet (and the men who love them), boldly venturing into an area of kink that few networks would. (In fact, the only bit of resistance to feet in recent memory was Flavor Flav’s break down over Grayvee’s offering of pigs’ feet on Flavor of Love 3. And Flav is…you know, Flav.) With this week’s premiere of Let’s Talk About Pep featuring toes that “taste like meatloaf,” we thought it was time to collect the instances of foot worship that have helped give this network a leg up on its peers:
Straight-up: the best part of my job as VH1′s shows blogger is interacting with the on-air talent. So many of them are natural entertainers that every slip of the tongue and motion of the lips is an act of hilarity. Below, I’ve compiled my 20 favorite quotes and exchanges from the extensive interviews that ran on the blog this year. There’s wit and insight to be found, yes, and at times even poignancy. But more often, it’s just all entirely ridiculous. Hey, gold is gold, right?

Love.
Even when it’s fleeting, who doesn’t love love?
Antonio called Miranda “a true original,” and he wasn’t kidding. The angel-card-reading, cuticle-oil-loving cosmopolitan “recluse” talks below about coming in second place to Brooke, whether she was really in love with Antonio, surviving a spider bite (and Yvonne!) and the life-enriching power of reality TV.
And so, in the end, Antonio picked Brooke and they kissed their way into the sunset…or did they? Below, Brooke speaks candidly about the state of her relationship with Antonio, her feelings about the competition and reality TV romance and what additionally she’d like to get out of this experience.
On Sunday’s season finale of My Antonio (premiering at 10/9c), Antonio SabĂto, Jr., will pick his match. Will it be smart-talking New Yorker Miranda, or the sweet-but-assertive Southern belle Brooke? While you deliberate, check the scene above, and read the finale press release below.
After the dramatic elimination of Antonio’s ex-wife, Tully, it’s down to the final two, Brooke & Miranda, and Antonio is agonizing over his choice. Brooke is stunningly beautiful and athletic, yet she still remains guarded. Miranda is cute and bubbly, but completely neurotic. Both women are convinced that they are his true love. Antonio is ready to make his decision and only one of the women will be able say “He’s My Antonio.”
We finally caught up with Christi, who was booted from My Antonio two episodes ago. Below, she talks about being thrown under the bus by Yvonne (in classic reality TV form), her emotional stability and why she turned down appearing on Rock of Love.
Tully started her run on My Antonio as the villain, but she ended up endearing herself to viewers (if the majority of comments on this blog can be believed) as the girl who was really, truly there for Antonio. It helps that they have a history that stretches back to the early ’90s, when they were married. Just a minor tidbit, that. Below, Tully talks about rekindling things with her ex in front of cameras, her feelings on Yvonne and her competitors, and whether her heart will go on after parting ways with Antonio yet again.
