My Antonio is sinking like a stone for me. He just acts more and more like a tool. I had to laugh at how the episode went to commercial during the elimination, showed a clip of his mom asking Christi to get rid of Tully, and then the show continued after commercial with them trying to create tension as to wether or not Tully was to be eliminated. Thanks to the clip before the break we know she makes it through.

So glad Tool Academy is back. That elimination tonight.

who was his brother mike? they didn't metion that any of them was matsuflexes brother.

that host going up to josh and telling him that he was a tool and had to leave the house was priceless... get the F.... out! josh was the biggest tool.

TheBang

No, you misunderstood. KillerCannibal has an elementary school friend; let's call him Rex. Rex is good buddies with Matsuflex. And now, in season 2, Rex's brother is on Tool Academy.

the whole girlfriend angle is kind of depressing.. as goofy as the show is, i end up kind of feeling bad for the girls who put up with these guys.

Bluelitespecial

Wow Tool Academy last night was awesome. Out of all the guys I think the giant tool seemed like the only decent guy out of the bunch. The elimination last night was pretty sickening in that the girlfriend still stayed with the guy.

RocShemp

I don't. If they think they have it so bad, they can dump the guys at any moment. If they stay, it's their own fault if they're stuck with a guy like that.

Rob V

Ditto. WTF are the producers doing with this show? There is zero substance aside from his crazy (and fugly) ex-wife trying to woo him back.

Ah, let's see, you can have your 48 year old ex wife back that you tapped a million times or one of 5-6 hot playboy models with giant, firm tubes.

Antonio is a whiny bitch too.

Bingo. I never knew Mike was such a big guy, he was so skinny when I knew him. I'll have to watch the show this week and see how big of a tool he's become.

RocShemp

I'm really digging Tool Academy but they're slanting the girlfriends too much as if they were these perfect, long suffering, angels. My BS meter keeps going off when that happens.

That's what's so sad. She's dead weight but also, sadly, the only character with any weight to her. All the other girls are just cyphers and set dressing.

He constantly whines about Tully and then elimanates girls because they "didn't share a connection". Um, how the hell can you share anything if you spend no time with them? Heck, Real and Chance spend more time with their girls on Real Chance At Love 2 even when it's a group activity. Why doesn't Antonio make these girls do challenges or something? He says he's all super athletic so why not make them go through numerous excercise and sports challenges?

Oh and the bit with the love letters was a pitiful joke. I wished the Southern girl had written him what she really thought. She said she couldn't truly write a love letter to someone she didn't know yet. That had more substance than the "hey sexy" letter she ended up writing. And I had a huge laugh at how Antonio was "touched" by the letter that said the girl had a crush on him since she was 12.

I also get the feeling that he doesn't want to be on the show. He looks like he's just going through the motions.

Rob V

Geezus, how did I even forget that part? It was painful. "Write me a love letter"??? Really? Then he starts to get teary-eyed --- just pathetic. Antonio needs to be on Tool Academy 3 with Vanilla Ice.

RocShemp

I would so totally watch that. Tool Academy 3: Reality Tools!

VH1 bought Megan's silence by giving her another show:

http://www.radaronline.com/exclusive...e-reality-show

The story claims that Ryan won...which doesn't surprise me.

I'm surprised she's not freaked out to the point of not wanting to have anything to do with Viacom.

Rob V

^^ I wish they would have just paid this b!tch to go away instead of giving her precious VH1 reality TV minutes

It'd be different if she brought ANYTHING amusing or unique to the table... but as it is, she's just a Tool in a decently hot body.

RocShemp

So he won the show and then killed his wife and killed himself? Megan's got some people skills.

Although, the cops are looking for some unidentified blonde that took him to Canada. What if they're looking for Megan?

EDIT: Okay, that was mean. But she must be freaking out if he indeed won. Bad enough you had a future killer do a show with you but he was also the winner of a show where you are the prize. That's just too damn creepy.

RocShemp

Well, this latest episode of My Antonio was a real hoot towards the end. I loved that the girl (Jennifer) dumped him this time around and I was in stitches with Christi's over-the-top reaction to Antonio walking out on dinner.

I'd love it if more girls walked out on their own. Hell, I'd watch just to see how they each tell him off. I'd also like it if the final girl dumped his ass too.

I was really looking forward to this show cos it looked like silly fun but all the potential seemed to have stayed with the first episode. And they need to play up the mom. She comes across as such a puppet master to his lil' mama's boy that I'd just love to see her orchestrate things just a little more. Sure, we got hints of that this ep but they didn't play it up too well.

Tool Academy 2 seems to be the VH1 show to watch this season. Well, that and Real Chance of Love 2. I'd love a bizarre crossover with all three of these shows. Heck, throw in the cast of Daisy of Love in there too.

DVD Josh

I got halfway through My Antonio and just dumped it from the DVR. He's just too stupid and infantile for me to handle, and that's saying something given what I DO watch on VH1.

They have. It's called I Love Money

RocShemp

It's funny that my mom recently watched the latest episode with me and she's certain that Antonio is gay. I'm inclined to agree he's a closet case given how often he recoils whenever things get "amorous" with the girls. Check it out whenever it looks like he's about to kiss with one of the girls. He'll either make a random comment to kill the mood or he'll actually flinch when a girl moves in for a kiss.

Sweet! I'm gonna have to check that out!

Rob V

Great call. It makes a lot of sense actually. The guy has no interest in hooking up with, arguably, some of the hottest babes on a reality TV show so far. His feelings are so easily hurt too. It'll be interesting to see if he brings in some of his male friends to help him "evaluate" the babes.

sergtv

i don't really get a gay vibe from him.. i get more of a germaphobic vibe from him.. i don't think he's into kissing or making out with random girls no matter how hot they are.. didn't he give a girl the boot for having ugly feet? i'm not sure i could be wrong.

I'd like to see his mom do the next charm school.. she scares me.

Bill Needle

Except that dude who killed his wife and then himself made VH1 tank the season that was going to air this winter. Too bad, that show is all the worst parts of the other shows rolled into one, which makes it so bad it's good of course.

As creeped out as Megan must feel, at least she walked away from the show with 50% more fingers and teeth and 100% less dead and stuffed in a suitcase in a dumpster than the guy's wife vis-à-vis their marriage.

Bill Needle

So after hearing the bad news about cancelling I Love Money 3 and all, and needing another fix to go with Real Chance of Love 2, I caught up on Tool Academy. All I can say is, I'm hooked. Was the first season this good? I feel so very, very dirty for watching this, but these couple of shows are one of my few truly guilty pleasures.

As for the girlfriends, I'm reminded of the old SNL skit with Phil Hartman playing Phil Donahue interviewing the author of Women Good, Men Bad and women who have a history of abusive relationships:

Phil Donahue: [ turns to the audience ] Sir, you have a point?

First Man in Audience: [ stands ] Yeah, I just want to say that I don't think all men are insensitive brutes. [ arguing between several audience members is heard from behind ] And.. I mean from high school I just never knew women who went out with guys who treated them badly, guys like me who are just looking for sharing and caring relationship.. someone to spend their life with..

Second Man in Audience: [ to his wife ] You're making a fool out of yourself! [ wife gets up to leave ]

Phyllis Sykes: Excuse me. Excuse me please, I'm trying to see that very attractive man behind you. Could you sit down?

[ First Man in Audience sits down ]

Phil Donahue: [ to Second Man] Any comment?

Second Man in Audience: [ stands ] Yeah, I know what these broads need and I got it. Okay? You want a sharing relationship? I got something to share with ya! Okay? You want a buddy? Buddy up on this!

Elaine Poldask: Excuse me, do you live in the city? Do you need a lift home?

Phyllis Sykes: Phil.. uh.. are there any rules about dating members of the audience?

Dr. Norma Hoeffering: Excuse me, any sisters at home like you?

RocShemp

Yeah, the girls in Tool Academy 2 are a greater source of laughs than the men. Especially when they start posturing as if they know so much.

My favorite bit was during the episode where they got dates for all the girls. The girl with the gap tooth smile (I forgot her name) was going on and on about how it was great to have this guy wanting her and how this shows her boyfriend how great and desirable she is. Of course the date "desired" her. He's basically a paid escort. Her boyfriend could get a girl to want him just as much if the studio paid for it.
