The Millionaire Matchmaker - General Discussion

[AuntieDiane6]

 

And I'm also with the viewers commenting on the lack of Patti's weird boyfriend, David I think? What happened there, anyone know?

 

They probably broke up and Patti doesn't want it made public until the season is over.  

 

Or else he's getting plastic surgery so he can look human again.

[woodscommaelle]

Haven't watched this show in years, bc, well, I hated it. Nothing on but football today so I watched this episode out of sheer boredom. Meh. It was whatever. Just came here to post that I thought Trevor, Stephanie's date, looked like he could be Brody Jenner's brother.

[Toaster Strudel]

Boohoo I have to wait until this drek hits YouTube!

[Toaster Strudel]

Got it!

 

I'm so glad Patti is helping the neediest would-be daters: rich and famous super-models.  It must be so hard for them to find good help, I mean, lover/manservant! Especially when you're so hot, and so full of yourself that no man is good enough for you.

 

So now Patti interviews dudes at the gym?  Were the guys being interviewed for the Pratt girl corralled from a gay bar?

 

The sit down mixers are an improvement over the stand up ones.

 

Those were boring dates.  Please bring back embryos and cryogenic chambers, and boot out the ass-kissing assistants,

[gaPeach]

When they were 'recruiting' at the gym this week, wasn't that one guy, Thomas (tall, bald guy) the one Sonja Morgan selected as her first date the other week - the one Patti swapped out for her choice at the Rocco di Spirito cooking class?

 

Yes it was.  I spotted him immediately.  I think that is where she found him and then used him for the date with whats her name in the last episode. 

[SFoster21]

Boohoo I have to wait until this drek hits YouTube!

Full episodes are on the Bravo site.

[Bellalisa]

Stephanie Pratt has no job. Apparently she travels to London a lot and appears on every reality show possible in the UK. That is where she met her latest bf. She is not with the guy from MM, surprise surprise!!

 

Of course the Heidi and her husband are going on marriage boot camp- anything to be on reality TV as this is their careers!

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, huge shockers, she is a reality show veteran and she was on The Hills.  Here she is with her latest bf-

Was she was with this guy when she did the show?  Who knows, but it wouldn't surprise me.  So why is it Patti is only fixing up z-list celebs & Bravo peeps now?

[Toaster Strudel]

LOL oh that makes the epilogue even funnier, because it stated that she'd be getting in touch with her Patti-supplied gigolo as soon as she returns from London... where it turns out, she's seeing her real boyfriend!

[HouseofBeck]

So I want to see that dude Dutch again. /shallow

I like Stephanie's choice because she said she felt like she knew him already. And I have no idea why I care. Damn it.

[Ubiquitous]

Spencer's sister spoke about admiring whatever type of relationship/marriage he and Heidi have. Then why are they going on Marriage Boot Camp (aside from the paycheck obviously)?

Hmm, if memory serves, Stephanie did not approve of their marriage on The Hills.

They probably are.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Is Marisol a millionaire?  Is anyone a millionaire on Patti's shitfest anymore?  Oh, and some UFC guy is a millionaire?  Sheesh, guess Patti doesn't even try to get anyone worth more than a hundred bucks, does she?

 

Last I saw Marisol on Miami Housewives, she was nothing other than depressed, bitter & angry.  She was just divorced from some slimy French guy who only married her to get a green card (well, that was according to Leah Black's nasty, but probably dead-on comment).  She lived with this guy for literally about 2 seconds & kept insisting on the show she was fine about the divorce, but man, she was bitter, bitter, bitter.

 

Could Marisol be on this thing to plug her PR firm?  Ya think?

 

http://www.bravotv.com/the-millionaire-matchmaker/season-8/episode-806/videos?clip=2841602

 

My gaydar is pinging big time on the UFC dude -- at least from the preview.  And good ole Pats is all over the guy cuz he hasn't had a girlfriend in 9 years.  Um, 9 years?  Er, huh?  OK then.  I didn't see her grilling Larry Birkhead about the same thing.  Or did I miss that?

Just watched the First Look on this ep.  So Patti's gonna fix up Spencer's sister, who's actually not bad looking.  There's a caption under her that says she's a "reality TV star".  Oh really?  Have no idea if this is true, but maybe someone else might.  

I suppose she may have been on The Hills for five minutes, but I think it may also be alluding to her being on the UK version of Big Brother.

Oh, and apparently she was also on Made in Chelsea (one of the many UK-fake reality shows in the mode of The Hills).

Prepare to be utterly bored and watch this clip:

 

As near as I can tell she's going out with someone with the same first name as her brother (otherwise it would be extra gross).

[Toaster Strudel]

Mercifully, that video is only 1:52, twice as long as it needed to be to make me want to stroll in front of a speeding locomotive.

Edited January 23, 2015 by Toaster Strudel

[MrsRafaelBarba]

That UFC guy is disgusting.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Yeah, not surprising he was a pig.  Watching the ep, I didn't get a gay vibe on him, just a blech one.  So he hooked up with some random chick Patti didn't even have anything to do with getting for him.  Er, huh?  Great matchmaking there, Patti.

 

I was baffled and then bored by Marisol's bit.  What the hell was Reza there for?  And why was Patti trying to match someone in LA with someone who lives in Miami?  Dumb.  So I  guess Alexia is still a desperate famewhore, eh?  Ok then.  That's all I got outta this ep.

[ScoobieDoobs]

I didn't think she could possibly be more vapid, stupid & annoying than Spencer.  I was wrong.  She is.

[MyAimIsTrue]

I didn't know who Marisol was but her face scared me.  Was she wearing a ponytail because it contained magic strings that pulled her face too tight?

[Katmai]

After having this show on last night and realizing I didn't care about paying attention to any of it, and having had this attitude for the last couple of seasons, I believe this has jumped the shark for me. It's not remotely even entertaining for me as the "millionaires" (I don't think P even uses that word anymore, does she?) are very boring and uninteresting. I truly hope the plug gets pulled on this crapfest now. It's just ridiculously stupid and Patti isn't even trying to fake it anymore.

[sunrisepink]

That video was..horrible. It even used the same font for the chyrons as The Hills.

[sunrisepink]

When the millionaires are "celebrities" it ruins what little authenticity the show had left, because however is picked as a date is automatically going to kiss their ass.

[Toaster Strudel]

This season is a BUST.

 

The only appeal of this show was Patti claiming a 98% success rate and third generation hereditary matchmaking powers, while single at 50 herself, and failing spectacularly at her craft week after week.  That is why I watched.  To see this arrogant, misogynist, redhead hating bullshitter fail.  The superficial 5 second judgments.  The creepy, deranged faux-millionaires.  The embryo eating on dates.  The horrified casting call wannabe starlets.

 

NOT those Bravo hasbeens using this show to refine their image, pretending to "need Patti" to "help" them, all image-conscious, having nice dates that they pretend redeemed them so that the show can have a whiff of plastic fairy tale ending.

 

 

[ScoobieDoobs]

Hey, I'm with you, Toaster.  Patti was pretty lucky to get another season.  Well, her ratings for the previous season were surprisingly decent.  But Patti is a horrible woman & she has made no friends at Bravo,  Andy has never cared much for her.  But he can be fairly good (sometimes) at hiding how he feels bout the peeps who work for him or with him.  Andy has had Patti on WWHL & he was OK with her (sorta) when she was on.  Hmmm, will he have her back when Valentine's Day comes along, as he has in the past?  Maybe not, at least according to this-

 

http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/confidential/bravo-patti-staner-andy-cohen-match-made-tv-hell-article-1.2059231

 

Actually, Patti is lucky Andy is not an exec at Bravo anymore cuz I bet he woulda cancelled her ass long ago, in spite of her still decent ratings.  Just to give a bit of backstory, the last season (7) almost never was, cuz in the filming of the season before, apparently Patti got way out of hand, lost her temper and slapped a production assistant.  Bravo never confirmed this, but it was widely reported & talked about in the industry.  While Patti was not formally reprimanded, that's the reason there was nearly a year between seasons 6 & 7.  Bravo seemed to be done with Patti.  But I guess maybe cuz Patti's ratings have always been quite good (as nutty as that seems) & Andy was no longer at Bravo to make sure she stayed gone, they brought her back.

 

OK, so now we have an extremely dull & tired season 8, stocked with ONLY non-millionaires, Bravo show cast-members (or ex-cast-members), z-list celebs & various cringeworthy reality show regulars.  But the big diff this season & what will get ole horrible Pats finally cancelled is her ratings now stink.  Yeah, they really stink.  No surprise there, right?  The latest ep this week got 812 thou viewers.  Not horrible, but prob enough of an excuse for the Bravo peeps to finally, finally, finally cancel her.  Buh-bye, Patti.  Won't miss you in the fuckin' least.

OMG! They need to rename the show "The bad plastic surgery show."

[Lone Wolf]

I truly hope the plug gets pulled on this crapfest now. It's just ridiculously stupid and Patti isn't even trying to fake it anymore.

Nope, she's phoning it in now.  Or, cashing it in - did anyone else catch her plug? "We're having a sangria party with my wine, PS Match."  That said, she's always been a product mention whore; I remember seeing her on some talk show years ago and the host said that Patti had lost weight and she said it was because she was using Stevia.  Clearly a set up for which she was paid.

 

I'm thinking/hoping that maybe this is the last season and Bravo is just using it to promote the shows that they crap out by having a lot of "Bravo-lebrities" on.  I don't know why they're being discreet about it, though.  Under Reza's name it just said "Real Estate" (kind of a stupid identifier, BTW) but during the show he was featured on a commercial for Shahs of Sunset.  C'mon, show, just be honest and identify him as "Fame Whore".  I have no idea who Alexia is (I've never watched RHOM), but I assume she's on that show with Marisol.

 

I wonder whether the non-Bravo reality whores are paying to be on...Regardless, it's pretty obvious that Patti doesn't care.  She's getting paid/getting TV exposure regardless of the quality of the show.

[cherry slushie]

She is 50 and I noticed she must have had a ton of work done..well well well:

 

In May 2006, Kennell was given her own reality television show on the WE (Women's Entertainment) Television Network. The series was titled "Designer To The Stars: Kari Whitman" and featured her redesigning rooms within celebrity homes. The series aired in March 2007.

 

Her name is Kari Kennell Whitman and she was playmate of the month in 1988. She was on Miami Vice..a real attention whore. When a lot of these people find themselves out of the spotlight, they go on Millionaire Matchmaker, its hilarious!

 

She looked to me like she had cheek implants and lo and behold her face is totally different from her playboy days- not sure when she got her boobs done but she was flat chested in playboy

 

http://www.playboy.com/kari-kennell

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If a C cup is flat chested, I must have missed the boobie boat.  They look pretty good to me. NSFW: http://www.playboywiki.com/Kari+Kennell

 

As for Stephanie Pratt, she was on The Hills for like 5 seconds. Heidi could have learned a thing or two from Stephanie when it comes to doing plastic surgery right. Amazing, natural looking nose job that took her from Tina Yothersish to blonde bombshell.. http://www.plasticcelebritysurgery.com/2010/06/stephanie-pratt-before-and-after-nose.html

why did I click on that? The playboy photo i saw of her she was more clothed and she looked more flat. I will say in these photos NSFW- she looks bigger but still they look real. There is a big space between them, now she has that tennis ball look....

And yet she looks vaguely like Heidi -- er, and she's Spencer's sister.  Ew.  This whole bunch makes me wanna vomit.  At least you're consistent this season, Pats.  Keep bringin' the z-listers who make me wanna hurl.

[Toaster Strudel]

Oh, I get it.  UFC guy checks out prostitutes on the road and has weird, off-putting tastes.  And he's a keisterman.  He chose Kara, the one that most looked like a porn star.  The fake date... don't get me started, so dull until the reveal where it turns out he asked her flat out for a gobbling BJ, like, right now.  You know, the same kind of romance he's used to with the hookers on the fight circuit.  At least he smashed Patti's face into his fresh-smelling crotch.  I was glad to hear it was to her liking.

 

Why did they bother broadcasting the Marysol BS?  What a waste of electrons.

[Kromm]

And yet she looks vaguely like Heidi -- er, and she's Spencer's sister.  Ew.  

Well then we go full circle with Stephanie apparently dating (or since its a Hills-type show should we say "fake dating") someone named Spencer on that horrible looking Made in Chelsea thing.

 

But Stephanie mainly comes off as that stereotypical California brand of vacuous to me, so while she's boring as all hell she's a bit of nothing compared to Brother Spencer (one of the most repulsive creatures on the planet, if I recall him correctly).

Holy crap. she does look Heidi-ish in the first after photo, although Heidi's face has a more plasticine look.  Remember how cute Heidi used to be? http://extragossips.blogspot.com/2011/06/heidi-montag-before-and-after-pictures.html

[UsernameFatigue]

I think Ally is very pretty, and I think she likely does look fairly normal weight wise in person. (Or at least no more than what the average woman is which is what, a size 12?)  I'd say she is maybe a 10? The camera does add 10 or 15 lbs. I actually applaud Ally for not starving herself into becoming an abnormal size 0 or 2. I am both amazed an appalled when I see sooooo many young women her age who fall into the trap of looking ridiculously thin due to media and social pressures. Even 20 years ago it was not common to see a super thin young woman - now they are a dime a dozen. Obviously many are not naturally thin.

 

I also thought that Jill looked fabulous. Her face looks much younger. (I know, seems like a contradiction after my above statement) but I thought Jill looked a good 10 years younger. And no, I am not Jill, Ally or a relative - lol. But then again I never minded Jill all that much on RHONY. I would defintely prefer her to some of the doozies they have had since like Aviva.

 

The prince - adopted or not - was just yicky.

[Oinky Boinky]

Not that this matters at all, but Ally is a gorgeous girl.  I used to teach at the university she attended, and I'd see her around campus from time to time.  I remember being initially shocked because on RHONY such a big deal was made about her weight, but she really just looks normal in person!  I think people underestimate how cruel the camera can be.  

I was thinking of that old canard 'the camera adds 10 pounds' 'well how many cameras were on you?'

 

That date dress was truly unfortunate.  She looked normal size prior to the date and then someone put that bloaty, heifer metamorphosis dress on her and made her hair look greasy. 

 

I thought these people had stylists or does only JZ?

 

Oh BTW - shut up Jill.  What a horrible person.  I find it hard to believe she is a mother. 

She should read what someone said on the The People's Court forum today 'don't be a stereotype' her schickt is an insult to 'her people'

 

The prince I found amusing until I read what you all wrote about the adult adoptions and then it is just a whole pile of yuck. 

[goofygirl]

And now for.... Critterfer Manzo... OMG!! Wasn't he already set up one time and took his date to some joisting joint ?? Talk about dragging the bottom of the barrel!  Just stop. Bravo. Stop.

[ScoobieDoobs]

WTF is goin' on with this show?  There was supposed be a new ep on.  I know I saw commercials for it -- with Max Hodges, the blonde surfer/stoner dude who used to be on TMZ & one of Caroline Manzo's sons -- I don't know or care which one cuz I don't give a fuck.  But there was a repeat shown instead.  What gives?  Hopefully Bravo is finally giving up on Patti & it's the end of this awful shitfest.

Edited January 30, 2015 by ScoobieDoobs

[Toaster Strudel]

The Bravo Z-listers, the ass-kissing assistants, and the not-funny fake dates spell the death knoll for this show.

 

It's like it's trying to take itself seriously, boring its legion of hate-watching fans.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Still wondering why they yanked off a scheduled new ep & ran a repeat instead.  Did I wanna watch again, gay Larry Birkhead fake being nervous bout dating a woman (er, surely for the first time)?  Um, not so much.  Once was enough for me.

[Toaster Strudel]

Maybe they are re-shooting the dates because they realize they're too lame to broadcast... and they're putting more bird embryos!

[EtheltoTillie]

It appears they are going to show it this Thursday instead.

[peaceknit]

I remember on RHONY that Ally was a T1 diabetic. It must be a struggle for her to maintain a good weight.

[ScoobieDoobs]

This was supposed to be shown last week, but was mysteriously pulled & a repeat was shown instead.  Let's see if they show it or this happens again.  I don't watch Jersey Housewives so I could care less about Manzo or her son.  He's very average looking & his personality seems ordinary -- which I guess is a plus in Patti's world.

 

I remember Max from TMZ.  He was the guy with long greasy blond hair, who looks like he never showers -- ever.  He also looks like he must stink like hell.  His eyes were always at half-mast, kinda like nickel slots, like he's permanently stoned/wasted/out-of-it.  I kinda remember anything he said sounded idiotic, so either he is always stoned or he's just a moron.  Wow, great get for the show, Pats.

 

Oh, and Patti also has Jenna Marbles in this ep.  OK then, Patti.  Trying to be relevant to 12 year old girls, are ya?  Er, good luck with that.  Don't think Jenna is gonna be able help much with ratings.

 

[MyAimIsTrue]

Who the hell is Jenna Marbles, or the TMZ guy for that matter?  Why am I supposed to care about these less than quasi "celebrities"?  Honestly I don't know why I bother with this show anymore as it's become a farce of what already was a farce and there's little to no enjoyment/snark factor anymore.

[Bellalisa]

Why love now?

 

Because I need the publicity

[Bronzedog]

There must be something in their contract that requires the Manzos to appear on this show. Chris Manzo obviously is not even remotely interested in finding a mate. When he had his arms wrapped around his mother and called her his girl. Creepy! And the other guy really looks like he needs a long bath.

[Bossa Nova]

Why is that Manzo kid and mom Caroline on one of these Bravo shows....again?!  He is NOT in the least charming or interesting  - even in a train wreck kind of way. And with each TV appearance, he keeps getting chubbier and doughier and more pinky-soft faced.Ugh!

 

Fast forward, 5 , then 10 years from now. The kid will still be living in his parents basement and Caroline will still be doing his laundry and trying to "sell" him to single  females as such a great catch.

 

They are such a boring cliche' stereotype of Italian mama and son.

Jenna Marbles is a huge YouTube star, ,maybe they're hoped some of the kids that follow her would tune in.   I don't know, those YouTube people are not famous outside of YT or to anyone older than 25.

[ScoobieDoobs]

Right, that's why I said the only ones who she would appeal to is 12 year old girls. Even my nieces who are 16 or older think she's a fool. I'd have told her to fuck off if she spoke to me the way she spoke to greaseball Max or chubster Manzo. Man, someone should just turn a fire hose on Max & hose him down for hours. Not if even that would get him clean enough I'd wanna be anywhere near him. Sheesh, he seemed gross. And barely lucid.

Max hasn't had any sorta job since he was on TMZ 2 years ago, so I assume he was on this shit for PR reasons, but who isn't? This show isn't at all watchable anymore -- even to hate watch. Way too boring. And Patti in teeny skirts or short shorts makes me cringe. Ugh.

[buttersister]

Ha, Patti, fess up, dear, to the difference between "celebrities" and "TV famewhores." You, surfer dude and Manzo Basement Denizen are the latter. Not that two out of three of you give a shit. I have a hunch that not-gettting-any-younger Chris would just as soon keep his boring self to himself. Mom looks like she's been keeping a lot of procedure appointments if her current look can be compared with Original RHoNJ.

 

Was there a "financial adviser" caption over Max? LOL! I do miss the old assistants, though--they were a constant reminder that this was a comedy show.

[Katmai]

 

I'd have told her to fuck off if she spoke to me the way she spoke to greaseball Max or chubster Manzo.

I was so tickled when Max called out MsYouTube on her hideous hair color that was so several years ago. I would have done the same had she been coming at me like she did them. Manzo, never seen him or his mom before but if he's ever going to find a girl *or boy* friend, he's going to have to quit hanging all over his mom and calling her his "girl." That just squicks me out, in fact, their relationship did, too. Could Patti have been more of a suck-up to them? Any other time she would've been all over MacChubster and his mommy attachment. He really needs to acquire a personality, too.

 

Why do I continue to keep this on and not turn the channel? Why!!!!

Yeah, they've scraped through the bottom of the D-list barrel and are now dredging up that strata of attention-seeker that exists below Famewhore and above Wannabe.

 

This week we have the son of a Housewife and a guy who was on a bottom-feeding celebrity gossip show going through this 3rd-rate TV network's fake dating show process, and each brings nothing entertaining to the table.

 

Caroline Manzo does the Jill Zarin overbearing ethnic-cliche' mom thing (the difference between an Italian mother and a Jewish mother is that an Italian mother says, "If you don't eat the dinner I made you, I'll kill you" and a Jewish mother says "If you don't eat the dinner I made you, I'll kill myself"). 

 

Meanwhile, we are supposed to believe that the surfer dude who has forgotten more Honey Pot than most guys will ever pull in their entire lives is happily starting a relationship with a professed virgin who doesn't kiss on the first date.  

 

If I cared, I would be offended that TPTB ostensibly expect us to accept any part of this crapfest at face value - the assistants, the auditions for the date, or the clients themselves (I still suspect that they pay to be on the show).  

 

But I don't, so I'm not.
