Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo is the best reality show on TV. The show is addictive. I had seen bits and pieces of it before but last night the wife and I caught a marathon on Bravo. We are hooked.
The matchmaker, Patti Stanger, is awesome. She's blunt, no-nonsense, funny, and, as is pointed out on the show, like a Jewish mother that really wants those lonely rich people to find love and happiness.
Each episode is constructed with a story arc that begins with a millionaire (or millionairess) who is so pathetic that even Patti doesn't want to help them out.
Patti takes them on as clients. For example, if the client is a superficial jerk, the story is structured so that Patti will hook the client up with superficial people and that way the client will learn the error of their ways and become better a person.
Millionaire Matchmaker avoids reality show cliches such as manufactured "drama."
The clients also make the show engaging. Some are pathetic creeps (you know who you are) but others are in genuine need of help and we feel for them, just as Patti and her crew feel for them, and we wish them success. See, just cause you have millions don't mean you're happy.
Patti and her crew are awesome. They keep it real. Patti is just so much fun to watch. You never know what she's going to say or do next.
