I honestly can’t stand Colt and Gino. From the very first season they appeared on, both of them instantly landed in my allergy zone. 😭

And yes, before people jump in, I KNOW the women they dated were not easy either. Jasmine and Larissa both had explosive moments and toxic behavior too. But what frustrates me is how Colt and Gino constantly act like innocent victims while completely ignoring the part they played in creating those situations.

Colt especially has this manipulative way of staying “calm” while lowkey provoking people and then acting shocked when they react emotionally. The whole situation with Larissa after she moved to America was insane to me. This woman leaves her entire life behind and he barely prepared anything for her. No real comfort, barely any emotional security, and he seemed more focused on keeping his weird codependent dynamic with Debbie intact than actually building a marriage.

Half the relationship felt like Larissa was competing with his mother for space in the house and attention in the relationship. Then whenever Larissa became frustrated or reactive, Colt would sit there acting confused like:
“I don’t understand why she’s upset.”

Sir PLEASE. 💀

And the thing that bothers me most is not even the bad behavior itself. Everyone on this franchise is messy. It’s the refusal to acknowledge how much they contribute to the chaos. Colt constantly pushed buttons in subtle ways, acted passive aggressive, withheld affection or reassurance, then once Larissa exploded emotionally she became the only “crazy” one in the story while he played the wounded nice guy.

Gino does the exact same thing in a different flavor. He constantly acts emotionally detached, secretive, or dismissive, then behaves shocked when Jasmine reacts intensely. One of the clearest examples was how he kept creating insecurity in the relationship through lies, hiding things, texting other women, the whole photo situation with his ex, and then acting confused about why Jasmine didn’t trust him anymore.

And instead of genuinely taking accountability, he always slips into this awkward victim role like everything is just “happening” to him.

Even in The Single Life finale he says:
“I want to move in with Lexi but it has to happen fast.”
Then immediately:
“Women text me.” 😒

Like maybe stop entertaining attention from other women while talking about moving in with someone seriously?

That’s my biggest issue with both of them. Not that they made mistakes. It’s the constant manipulation through self pity. They provoke, neglect, avoid communication, create insecurity, then once the women react emotionally they suddenly become the poor misunderstood victims.

It’s exhausting to watch.

I honestly can’t stand Colt and Gino. From the very first season they appeared on, both of them instantly landed in my allergy zone. 😭

Yes, the women they dated were definitely not easy either. Larissa, Jasmine… chaos all around. But the way Colt and Gino constantly twist situations, play confused, and turn themselves into victims afterward drives me insane.

Colt especially has this manipulative way of talking where he acts calm and reasonable while subtly rewriting reality. Everything somehow becomes something that “happened to him,” even when his own behavior clearly caused half the mess.

And Gino… I just can’t with him anymore. The ending said everything to me:
“I want to move in with Lexi but it has to happen fast.”
Next sentence:
“Women text me.” 😒

Like sir… maybe THAT is exactly why your relationships implode?

Both of them give me the same energy:
avoid accountability → act wounded → gain sympathy → repeat.

I know this franchise is built on dysfunction, but these two have always felt especially emotionally manipulative to me.
