SNL cast member Chloe Fineman’s impression of Love is Blind star Giannina Gibelli is hilariously spot on. The freshman featured player is known for her impersonations of former Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson and Scarlett Johansson. However, nobody saw the Giannina parody coming!
Fineman's impression appeared in the sketch, Love is Blind: Quarantine Edition. Instead of being credited as Giannina, her character was referred to as "Bellinina." The sketch portrays Love is Blind with characters loosely based on actual favorites from the show. There is one twist: While each of the singles is getting to know each other in their respective pods, the reasoning behind their stint on the show is that they are all being involuntarily quarantined due to the current Covid-19 Coronavirus scare. Fineman teased the sketch and the characterization on her Instagram page, telling fans they could check out the whole thing on YouTube. SNL fans and Love is Blind viewers are falling for Chloe Fineman in droves.
Fineman reinacted one of the most iconic scenes with Gibelli and her fiancé Damian, when she says in the parody, "I lost my butterflies and I'm trying to get them back. So tell me: Why is it that every time we have sex, you say it's the best sex you've ever had, but I don't say it back? I don't say it at all." The line is a mockery of Gibelli's heated confession to her fiancé Damian. She later explained to him during the show that she was pushing his buttons so that he could see the worst in her. Later, he returned the favor. Check out Fineman's hilarious parody of Gibelli in the Instagram video below:
Gibelli found herself on the receiving end of bad karma when her relationship with Damian imploded during the finale. He told her he wouldn't marry her while choking back tears ... AFTER she gleefully delivered her wedding vows in front of their respective families and friends. The Venezuelan "soulpreneur" then fled on foot following her embarrassment at the altar. As she ran through a wooded area, she slipped and fell, muddying her wedding gown. Gibelli's mother later caught up with her and the two sobbed about the misfortune on her wedding day. While the situation may have been embarrassing for Gibelli, Fineman's take on the iconic moment leading up to it has received more than 20,000 likes, and even got the approval of Gibelli herself in the comments when she said she's never felt so emotionally connected to someone.
Fineman has demonstrated that she's the new queen of SNL. Her impressions are genius and always in good humor and good spirits. Giannina was compelling to watch on Love is Blind due to her tantrums and pseudo-intellectual, self-aggrandizing insights. The reality star and her comedy doppelganger should make plans to meet up on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" and really give Love is Blind fans something to laugh about.
Love is Blind reunion airs Thursday, March 5th on Netflix.
