Antonio Sabato Jr. VH1 Reality Dating Competition
Soap star Antonio Sabato Jr. is teaming up with the professional matchmakers at VH1 for a little help finding that special someone.
The actor, best known for his leading roles on Melrose Place and daytime dramas General Hospital and The Bold And The Beautiful, is playing a page from the Book of Flavor Flava and begin filming his own dating reality series scheduled to debut on the network early next year.
“At the age of 36, I’m finally ready to settle down,” Antonio tells Variety.
Similar to other VH1 dating competitions, the still untitled series will feature a group of beautiful contestants tolling through a set of challenges to win Antonio’s love. Each challenge, like re-creating love scenes and skydiving in an evening gown, will center around the theme of soap operas, the television genre Antonio is best known for.
Antonio is “the fantasy man for many of our [VH1] viewers , and now that fantasy can become a reality,” says VH1 executive Jeff Olde.

The man’s so hot, why does he need a dating show? I guess being a star you don’t always find that ‘love’ when others are looking to gain from your success! Best wishes to Antonio!

Yes, indeed, why does he need a reality show to look for love! This man started working on this idea while he was, still, with his long time girlfriend [of 10 years], Kristin Rossetti, with whom he has a daughter soon to be 7. Needless to say, they are no longer together. It’s all about him….to hell with her. I have lost total respect for this Mama’s boy, who doesn’t do a thing without consulting his mother. The women he chose for this show are fake breated playboy bunnies, Vegas call girls, etc……You get the picture!!!

Yeah I’m sure the chicks that were picked were bimbos and hoochs and strippers and all of those types. However, that being said, the man is smokin hot, I’d have auditioned and signed up to spend a few minutes with this man. I’m single and you only live once so why the hell not.
