Is this woman for real

I was home ill today so watched my first episode of this show because there was nothing else on daytime TV.

Firstly this "expert" asks Stephanie Pratt what is more important to her, money or looks - HELLOOOO what about personality 😱. If you really want a good relationship with a partner surely that should be the first requisite!!!

Then she tells off an interior designer for collecting boyfriends, and yells at her for probably telling everyone that she once dated Don Johnson - fair enough, except that one of the first things out of the matchmaker's mouth when introducing this client to Stephanie Platt is "she dated Don Johnson". Problem solved all this client has to do is to have Patty Cakes come along on all her dates, then the interior designer won't have to boast about the famous people that she's dated, her lackey can do it for her.

Then at the pick and mix interviews all Patty seemed to be interested in was "how much money do you have" - because lets face it, that is all that is important in love!!!!

Definitely won't watch another episode. Let's face it anyone can get rich, good looking, famous people a date. The only problem would be weeding out those that are only attracted to the trappings of fame, but the amount of money in the suitor's wallet isn't a guarantee of this, there are sincere regular people out there!!! The only reason these "desperado's" need to go on this program is because let's face it, why would they attempt to find something as important as their life partner if they don't get any airtime out of it.

After watching this program I realise whey all the ads for the program show reality stars (who would turn up for the opening of an envelope)as her clients. I guess real stars would go to a genuine matchmaker who obviously isn't just in the game for the money and the fame.

di_lited-993-317524 that's what this season has become. Patti has now turned her attention from "let's find you love" to "let's make sure that if you're going to find love, that the person has some money to their name". In addition, someone came up with the idea that this season should all be about other Bravo shows and advertising for them.

If you went back to the previous seasons, it was more about actual non-celebrity people and trying to fix them up. That's when the show was at least watchable. Now, it's just bad.

It's called Millionaire Matchmaker... 

The Millionaires are signing up to be matched with someone who is dating them because they're millionaires. They know the score and are fine with it.

Jupiter555555, yes, the show is called Millionaire Matchmaker. Yes, the millionaires are out to find someone to be matched up with. However, if you go back and watch previous seasons, Patty was not focused on the people she was matching up to the millionaires also be super duper successful and have tons of money to their name. This season, she's telling all of her clients that they need to find someone with lots of money otherwise they shouldn't even select these people. In the past, all you needed was a steady job and Patty was fine with you. Now, you need to be raking in 100k + or you're not considered a potential match. My point was Patty was more focused on finding the bets possible match for her clients. Now, she's more focused on that the match has money so that the F list celebrity can mooch off of them.
