It's so nice to see Gianina free of the dreadful, passive aggressive, manipulative Damien. She seems so happy and stressless-which is a true contrast to [before.] They seem like a great couple. I'm glad they found each other.
đŻđŻđŻ
Seriously she dodged a bullet! Look at Damian. Still embarrassing himself going on all these whack ass reality shows to find love w bunch of kids. Did u see him on perfect match? My god
@@aundreawang Couldnât agree more.
Yup! Damien was a dick! So glad sheâs free of him!
I love when these episodes turn into Lovefests between Andy and the male guest đ„°
Iâm so happy Gianinna got a happy ever after! She went through so much!
Oh gosh, they are so adorable. When Blake said that she's needy, but he has so much to give, I melted. Watched them both on their shows, and am watching All Star Shore, and they are just really sweet. Wishing them all the best. Great episode!
I did not realize how much cuter they could get but yâall proved me wrong. Literally the 2 most healthy, sweet, and delightful couples to watch
I've met Blake several times and he is wonderful and kind. I'm so glad he's found his equal.
I've never enjoyed a couple's interview the way i have this one.
Also Giannina dodged a bullet with Demian's confusion, Blake seems to be her perfect match
This is such a *sweet* interview, I love the wholesome, happy vibes between couples. My husband and I recently celebrated 10 years together, and they really remind me of us during our first year, in regards to how we felt about each other đ„° I love all the love shown here!!
So glad you enjoyed! And a very happy 10 year anniversary to you â€ïž
I like seeing couples on love fest that have been together a little longer.. when it's so fresh, it makes it seem like the only good relationships are ones that are "perfect" .. but I love Shandy and as always, Sharleen and Andy are the best cohosts and interviewers!!
One of the things I really enjoy about these Love Fests is how different personalities, backgrounds, behavioural patterns, triggers, love languages and attachment styles etc. somehow find and come together to make things work. It's really lovely to see :)
I was just thinking how great it would be to see Blake and Giannina on the pod!! You guys read my mind!
The honeymoon phase is so beautiful and cute! đđ This is one relationship that I hope really makes it way past the honeymoon phase. I watched both of their journeys from The Bachelorette, BIP, Love is Blind, the Love Is Blind Reunion Season(I guess is what it was), and now All Star Shore. I love this pairing so so much, and Iâm rooting for them! So here for it! â€ïžâ€ïž
I was impressed by how kind of a person Blake is. Hoping the best for them!
This was a great interview! I did not know they were together, and now I've just binged watched all-star shore to see how they met and they are adorable. I always love to see when persons who may not have had the best rep from their previous shows or previous relationships end up meeting someone who brings out the best in them.
What a lovely couple! Iâm so happy that they found each other. Iâm not surprised that Giannina loves Rufus Du Sol. What a great shoutout. Theyâre not just DJs. The Australian trio produces albums of original work. Their music is so emotive and cathartic, sending me on an introspective journey.
This might be a controversial suggestion, but maybe have Chris Bukowski and Anna Redman. I'm interested in how they met.
Also (not controversial but) Lauren Speed Hamilton and Cameron Hamilton from LIB S1
Whatâs wrong with controversy?
Yes! I love â€ïž Cameron and Lauren!!!!
Anna Redman is responsible for incorrectly identifying a woman from Matt's season as an escort. She does NOT deserve any airtime.
They just posted one!
These two are so sweet! What a beautiful episode. I completely agree about acting more like kids when you're in a good relationship. You feel safe đ
I've always liked Blake!! So glad he finally has someone in his life!! đ
Thank you for doing this interview! It was so wonderful!!
These two are so sweet! And so are you Shandyâs. Itâs great to see blake grounded and happy. His season made me đđđ for him.
As always, you guys are a delight to listen to. The jokes, the giggles and your lovely optimistic focus on two people, their love and relationship in these love fests â€ïž
Also I just came back to listen to the final minutes and wrap up and I DIED at Andy's Denny's tangent đ đ
Love Fest Suggestion: Arie and Lauren! Love all your videos!
So glad to see Gigi in a stable relationship that is bringing out her best (and Blake too!) after watching her be abused by that gaslighting monster Damian. Onward and upward!!!! These two are truly a perfect pair. I also am amused by the idea of The Bachelor marrying Love Is Blind, like the joining of two kingdoms through arranged marriage.
Andy, you will be so disturbed by the LIB reunion and how Gigi was treated! Please review LIB for us when youâre done.
Andy...I loved your analogy that you cannot kill the queen bee in a relationship. My husband says that we are one & when we fight...he says I would never hurt you...b/c I would be hurting myself. :)
đ Iâm just gunna say what weâre (not all but maybe some) thinking: Nick V was and is wrong about Blake H. Iâm glad yâall gave him a shot on your show even with being such close friends with Nick. Respect!
I was thinking exactly the same thing! Shandy is very good friends with Nick and Nick hates Blake. Interesting dynamic!
Nick mocked this couple when they were first announced too. I listened to that episode. Him and the producers were like OMG now heâs dating Gianina from love is blind, and they all laughed sort of mockingly. Didnât age well, because this is clearly a real relationship that will probably last.
An AMAZING interview loved it đ«¶đŒ
As I just added to my Apple podcast review, this was absolutely delightful. Sharleen is a skilled interviewer and Andyâs comedic quips add to the episode. I hope they continue to secure such great guests!
I also hope Blake & Gianninaâs relationship endures past their honeymoon phase. The dynamic of constant traveling while âinfluencingâ is so fascinating. But they seem to do well living together and managing the little day-to-day things too. Rooting for them!đ
Loved this Love Fest!
I related to Gigi. My husband is from Argentina. When I met him, I had to explain so many slang terms. Trying to explain what Bum F**K Egypt meant was perhaps the hardest of them all. I think Blake and Gigi have both been mistreated on TV, I'm so glad they found each other. It's always so great to see them for who they really are rather than how they are portrayed. I love how Blake said, "That just took a block out of our Jenga". That's such a great analogy! Andy could take lessons from Blake.
I think that the Andy i see here, is perfect as he is. He is smart, articulate and super funny. His wife is laughing all the time! What else can we ask for?
I am here straight from Dave Neal channel and you guys are hilarious.
I'm so happy for these two. They are obviously really good together and I related to a lot of what they said. Their connection was so palpable. I know they are in a bit of the infatuation stage right now, but they may continue to look at each other like that (I have good friends who do). I also felt they were very authentic. Loved this one.
I also listen to asmr videos to fall asleep. I havenât met someone who also does that. Blake and Gianina are such a cute couple. I loved her on LIB. Iâm glad sheâs happy with Blake. She went through a lot on LIB. I love these love fests so much.
This is for Blake...my husband also needs to listen to something when he goes to sleep so he bought sleeping earphones/headband and puts something on his old phone so the big tv isn't on to bother me! Good compromise
One of my fav lovefests! Best crossover
Beautiful couple & a wonderful interview đ«¶đŒ
Did you do Catherine and Sean Lowe ever? Controversial opinion- Feel like this relationship is a litttttttttle too new for a love fest convo. However, i LOVE Blake from day 1 and think he may be my top 3 guys from the franchise EVER.
Respectfully I have to disagree. They remind me of my relationship with my husband. We started out the same way and when you know, you know. We have been married 26 years. However, I do understand your point but sometimes you will find exceptions to every rule.
Unfortunately Catherine and Sean have never responded to my requests! đ„ As for your other point, Andy had already proposed to me by the 8 month mark so we may see timelines a bit differently. Also, I make an effort to tailor our questions to the status of each relationship (eg. "What makes this relationship different from past ones?" versus something like "How did you know they were The One?") But agreed, Blake is great!
Thanks for replying! Fair point on timeline. Maybe it comes off still in the honeymoon stage but I still enjoyed it. More importantly, I love when Blake is shown in such a bright light like this. BIP did him dirty and he deserves all great things. He definitely seems happy and that is all that matters. Side note, I am a NY girl born and raised and seeing such a solid man like Andy knowing you met him here gives me hope that good guys do exist.
I would just like to say that Giannina didnât cheat đ most of her multiple answers were giving Blake more chances to get it right while Blake didnât even put an answer for one of the questions giving Gigi no chance to get it right đ
Haha fair! đ€
what a great episode!
OMG so happy you were able to get them on! Watching both of their shows, I am especially SOO happy for Giannina!! I could tell she was amazing on love is blind and I HATED that man she was dealing with. He seemed so toxic and horrible and I felt like she deserved so much better. I'm SOOOO happy to see she found a happy healthy partner in Blake. Wishing them the best!
Damien was awful but she was also so naive and immature. She wasn't able to properly communicate what she needed. I'm so glad she has grown up and found love.
I loved both of them on their shows,so happy that they found each other â€ïž
Love this couple soooooooo much and Sharleen and Andy you are such wonderful interviewers â„â„â„
The Jenga analogy was so good I instantly thought of all the things my husband and I have said or done that has made our Jenga tower unstable.
So happy for them â€
I very much look forward to Andy coming back to us with his thoughts on Ancient Aliens, which I think we could all agree is the epitome of educational TV. đ
I really enjoyed this sweet interview with Blake and Gigi! One of my favorites! I'm always been a big fan of Blake's and really like them as a couple. They are adorable together â€ïž. I never watched Love is Blind but I'm a big bachelor fan. But I'm loving their show together!!! Thank you for this interview!
Thank YOU, Brandy! đ„°
Sharleen, you guys are a joy and you guys made me laugh. I will continue to support you guys. I liked and subscribed. I can't wait to listen to more of these!
Respect is greater than love. ALWAYS
AWWWWWW Such a sweet interview. Thanks for sharing them as i had been very interested in getting to know them as a couple. Best wishes to them. I agree with a comment below I look forward to you interviewing Catherine and Sean Lowe.
Obsessed!!!! Love!!!
I wasn't familiar with this Love Fest couple but found them adorable, interesting and entertaining! Loved the Jenga comment! And the end of this episode sure took a crazy turn! đ„ đ
PS - If I had to answer the Newlyweds Game music question, I would probably say Breaking Benjamin or Queen or Metallica (I answered Gigi-style!)
Hmm what does it mean to "meet cute"? đ€ I love that they both seem comfortable and natural and *appreciated* by one another. So nice to see đ
Meet cute (as we use it, anyway) means to meet in person by chance! Not set up, not a blind date, not arranged after meeting online, etc.
Omgeeeee! I đ them!
I LOVE THEM
I'm happy Blake finds love. I like him
The interview was good, but the Shandy debrief was great!
Hahaha it went a bit off the rails! đ
No way. I did not know they were together. Thatâs adorable
They are the cutest couple!!!
omg the thing blake said about tv and sleeping is exactly what I do and I feel understood
respect good point Blake
I came here looking see what happened to gianina after love is blind after watching the perfect match on Netflix. I hated how gianina was treated by Damien. Wow watching this makes me so so so happy for her. You can see it in both their eyes how much they love each other. This looks like that forever soul mates kinda love. So happy for the both of them. I hope they last đđđđ
Love them together, such a fun episode!
Not sure if I caught this right, but I think one of Gigiâs points may have been accidentally awarded to Blake? Redemption for Gigi??
Wow this is how I know that Blake and I are the same age, (1) that Four Loko reference and (2) I also grew up on that same Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits record camping with my family. SO specific!
Love love looooovvvve them!!!!! Gigi, your baby daddy is wayyyyy hotter than the loser from Love is Blind LOL. SO HAPPY FOR YALL!!!
Blake as a Venezuelan woman I just want to let you know we are always late and that will never change đđđ
My husband is Canadian and it was and adjustment for him but after 13 years he is now use to lol
condescension very good point she made, you don't want to be with someone who is overly critical whether it's words or their mannerisms, or body language
Yay!
we walk into a room, and 3 of his exes are there, so funny
Y'all could see if your tv has a timer on it so it can turn off after an hour or so and no one has to wake up to turn it off once you're already asleep!
Gigi with way too good for the guy on'' love is blind''... She's incredibly cute w a fantastic laugh.... And Blake is a far better match....[ it's good to see Blake in this light... Because he was poorly edited in his last appearance on '' bachelor in Paradise'''..
They have the same energy and zest for life.
Loved the Jenga analogy
Yes, you can feel it! They're both so good natured and fun loving. We had a blast chatting with them!
Blake Horstmann was born on 22 April 1989 in Bailey, Colorado. In 2011, he graduated with a degree in Marketing and Communication Studies from Hastings College based in Hastings, Nebraska.
will he still be a dj if he intends to have kids in the future?
Also. Watch out Thomas, Blake and Andyâs connection is palpable. You might have some competition lol
When gigi said the thing about how blake will sleep with the TV on and hilter documentary is on... I felt that... my mom would watch CNN or murder shows and it was always some political mess or someone being stabbed... LOL
â€â€â€
Sharlene asks, "What was an early hurdle?" Nobody noticed the pun! HA!! :)
Love Steve Miller band!
The worst thing about smelling feces is that we automatically close off our noses and breathe through our mouths until we realize that mouth inhaling is actually worse than offending olfactory senses. Of course, if one is eating, the process is more complicated, which is why Andy is so right about the pancakes at Denny's.
I loved her as a blond - it really brought out her big eyes.
Iâm so curious which ASMR Sharleen watches! I listen to rain sounds or ASMR when Iâm resting. Before you mentioned it I was thinking Blake should give it a try.
Same!!
Pretty much any that are only soft spoken or whispered and with little or no other sounds! (Tapping and crinkling donât do it for me)
Hannah B and Dylan
Joe and Serena
Arie and Lauren
please, thank you
Yaaaassss!! I second this! Thank you đđœ
Yes arie and Lauren!!
very pretty
Ancient Aliens is great! If nothing else it is interesting to think about and sometimes make fun of. Entertaining for sure but I don't know how they have like 14 seasons now. If you are going to watch it, start with the first season because it gets pretty repetitive as the seasons go on.
I love your podcast! I usually only watch the Bach recaps but I am so glad I watched this. Great convo and I could feel the love in this episode.
Duly noted about Ancient Aliens! Thank you!!
Omg I have never met anyone that also needs to sleep with the tv on and specifically watches new girl or friends lol are Blake and I the same person?
You guys are always so positive and supportive. Iâm older than you. Much much olderâŠ.lolâŠand from this advanced perspective of mine these two are still in the warm bubble of first love infatuation. Only time will tell if itâs got legs to go the distance. But I already see many red flags waving. They both have mercurial personalities spelling lots of drama ahead. Great interview though, as usualâŠ.so thanks for that!
Giannina Gibelli is currently 29 according to her birthdate April 03, 1993 Sun Sign Aries Born Place Venezuela Nationality Education Giannina attended the University of Central Florida from where she graduated with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations. Occupation Reality Star, Instagram Star Manager
So Gigi has the ring onâŠ. Is that right?
Did you say "met cute"? What does that mean? Or how did that phrase originate?
Have you guys tried to get Matt James & Rachel on :)
shandy and her husband andy are the best couple
Love fest wishlist: Hannah B and Adam, Clayton and Susie, Trista and Ryan, Jo Jo and Jordan, Jason and Molly, and if Victoria Fuller if she found someone in BIP this summer. Victoria is not easy to love it seems and she doesnât settle. I get some donât like her, and their reasons are the reasons I like her.
Itâs not that I donât like Victoria but she is annoying. She doesnât handle conflict like an adult. She is good tv, though.
Jo jo and jordan will be my dream, grocery store joe and serena for sure
@mimi I had no idea Victoria was friends with Nick or anyone else. My feelings arenât sudden, either. The fact that she is a nightmare is what makes her interesting.
@mimi My sarcastic self wants to say, âI watch Hallmark when I want decent people and the bachelor when I want a little juiceâ but I wonât because I really do agree with your point of view, as well! Lol
G you look wonderful! But I do think you are an adorable blond đ
I really like Blake and I have no opinion on Giannina but this relationship has been like 9 months long? Of course they are head over heels - they are technically still in a honeymoon phase. They do look great together but it's tough to think it will last given how fast these types of people move to the next person in the Bachelor/reality tv franchise.
he never admits that he's wrong, not a good sign
do they live together?
Team Rufus du sol đ
Nick Viall's girlfriend Natalie sings the N-WORD in TIKTOK videos! This is not okay! #Hold him accountable.
She makes me nervous...I cant say what it is , but for me red flags . I really really hope im wrong .
One lucky dude. She (giannina) is WAY OUT OF HIS LEAGUE!
This is an awful show
