Dom Gabriel from Netflix's newest dating reality TV series Perfect Match is a breakout star, and he posts many hilarious videos on Instagram. The series stars various recognizable faces from other hit Netflix reality TV shows such as Love Is Blind, Too Hot To Handle, and The Circle, but Dom was largely unrecognizable before Perfect Match. However, he quickly became known for matching with infamous Too Hot To Handle contestant Francesca Farago on the show.
Previously starring in the Netflix reality series The Mole, Dom was known for his honesty and sweet sentiment to share any winnings from the show with his mom. Unfortunately, he was eliminated in episode 4, but through his appearances on The Mole and Perfect Match, his Instagram presence has attracted over 75,000 followers. The intrigue surrounding Dom's persona only increased, as he shared modeling photos alongside vulnerable videos living with anxiety and depression. Through his rising fame on two different Netflix reality TV shows, he appears to be building his modeling and musical career with his band, DØNTCALL, based in his hometown of Toronto. Since skyrocketing to reality TV fame, Dom has also posted hilarious Instagram Reels, further endearing him to audiences.
Perfect Match's Dom Gabriel Doesn't Know About Geography (Or Orange Foods)
In a hilarious moment from the second nonsensical compatibility competition in Perfect Match, couples had to wage bets on how many spicy peppers they could eat, how many pushups they could do with their match on their back, or how many countries they could name. As Dom and his match Francesca began listing countries, Dom insisted that Alaska was separate from the United States. Later that night, he admitted to Francesca that he once mixed up papayas and carrots. These two events led to fans believing Dom might not be the brightest bulb of the bunch.
Regardless, the way that Dom can tease himself an Instagram video he posted, calling himself "the dumbest person on reality TV" and captioning the post, "and we're only four episodes in," endeared him to fans. Dom's followers commented how much they loved his genuine nature on the show, with one viewer noting, "We don’t deserve Dom [heart emoji] fav on the show." Despite his occasional mindless moments, Dom captures viewers' hearts through his honesty and humor.
Perfect Match's Dom Gabriel Is Unbothered By Francesca & Savannah's Fight
In a spicy moment in the third episode of Perfect Match, Francesca, the clear villain on the show, completely destroyed The Circle's Savannah Palacio after she approached Dom about her attraction to him. Francesca paired off with the sweet and emotional Dom from the beginning, blocking the rest of the girls from getting to know him at all. When Savannah took a chance to convince Dom to match with her, it backfired when Dom's loyalty sent him to spill the beans immediately to Francesca. As the girls engaged in a stereotypical catfight, Dom was nowhere to be found.
In a hilarious Instagram reel, Dom revealed that behind the scenes, he was filling up his glass of wine, where he was completely unbothered because he is living with ADHD, and unaware of the two women fighting over him in the next room. Despite the tense atmosphere on Perfect Match, it's refreshing to see Dom be able to poke fun at himself and this moment on the show. Fellow costar Kariselle Snow commented, "Now that's relatable," and fans agreed with her, with one adding, "Someone just give my mans the world...his heart is so pure."
Dom Gabriel's Vulnerability On Perfect Match Endeared Him To Fans
At the end of Perfect Match episode 4, Francesca brutally broke off her match with Dom in pursuit of Love Is Blind star Damian Powers. He was seen crying on camera, as the episode ended with Francesca surprising Damian on the beach. It was an incredibly vulnerable moment for Dom, who cared for Francesca. In a video on Instagram that was both hilarious and heartwarming, Dom acknowledged the naivety of being genuine on reality TV while being able to make fun of himself for it. In a medium in which many stars such as Francesca behave manipulatively to garner more fame, fans have become interested in Dom over the past week because of his vulnerability. One user proclaimed in the comments, "Dom isn’t the next bachelor I’m not watching," and another fan added, "You're the only reason I'm watching this show!" It's clear that fans like Dom's honest and vulnerable personality.
Before Perfect Match, most reality TV fans didn't even know who Dom was. However, due to his engaging personality both on Instagram and Perfect Match, he has fans talking. The comments on his Instagram videos are nearly entirely positive, and his presence on social media is skyrocketing. As new episodes of Perfect Match release on Tuesdays, it will be fun to continue to watch Dom's honest game unfold. In the meantime, it's evident through his hilarious Instagram videos that fans are rooting for him.
