Millionaire Matchmaker - Review of Last Night's Episode

Well, Patty Stanger and her gang were at it again last night on Bravo's Millionaire Matchmaker show. They were hard at work at helping lonely millionaires find true love.

The two guys on last night’s show were interesting. One was Uri, a Jew from Florida looking for a Jewish girl. He’s way too quiet and nice. A perfect gentleman. Of course that made Patty crazy. She wanted Uri to go after the women, throw them up against the wall and be an animal.

The other guy, Zagros, a Kurdish-Iranian-American, is a momma’s boy but loves the ladies. He’s tall and charming, a total opposite of Uri. Patty wanted this guy to slow down, keep it in his pants.

Patty made a funny comment about this episode having something to do with Israeli-Palestinian relations.

But both Uri and Zagros were somewhat endearing and likeable. Uri remained way too boring for Patty but Zagros and his date, Teal, crossed the line by breaking Patty’s number one rule.

Patty was outrageous as always, Chelsea was the perfect sidekick, and Destin was, well, Destin.

Good show.

Millionaire Matchmaker - Best Reality Show on TV

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.
