Beauty 2; Brains 0
So there we have it. In the latest installment of Average Joe, Fox confirms that pectorals trump personality and that Fabio (even in his absence) trumps a hot guy with an ego like glass.
Are we surprised that Larissa (the hot woman), chose Gil (the hot man) over Brian (an average guy)? If we know anything about people at all, we shouldn't be. Frankly, if you attended public high school at any time during the last 50 years, you should already know that attractive people will stick together. No shocker there.
Larissa says, of Gil:
"Sometimes, when I'm out I see things that remind me of him."
Yeah, I think she says:
*giggle* "Look, there's the sun, it's hot... like Gil." *giggle*
Larissa's lame secret turns out to be... what, what?! Is she a man? Is she a former porn star? NO!
Her ex-boyfriend is Fabio. Shocking, eh? A hot woman dated a hot man. Who would have dreamed of such a horrific thing?
In the end, Gil has such a fragile sense of self-worth that he actually breaks up with Larissa rather than risk being compared to the God of the Romance Novel Cover (and I Can't Believe It's Not Butter). The only consolation is that both of the shallow duo ended up feeling miserable and betrayed.
Personally, I'm still crushing on David Daskal.

I was really hoping she'd have a -good- secret. My first thought when they announced that surprise last week was that she was going to be a man. Gil's reaction to that would have been awesome. It's a good thing my other reality TV shows have treated me well this season, Average Joe was a terrible disappointment.
