A Show You Thought You Wouldn't Like But Ended Up Loving
Millionaire Matchmaker (2008-present)
Now normally I don't watch reality TV...but when my sister is bored and she starts to flick channels she finds weird shows to get hooked on. Like Millionaire Matchmaker. Honestly, it's a terrible show as far as reality TV goes. The host, and professional matchmaker, Patti Stanger is essentially a bitch. So are her sidekicks who help her choose the contestants and offer advice to both parties about the dates.
The millionaire's are often assholes and mostly shallow; the women (or men) are always gorgeous but not always willing to just go along with whatever the millionaire wants. On one episode the millionaire thought he was such top shit that he wanted to be able to take two women along to his date. Patti refused and said he had to pick just one. What does he do? He secretly went around her and texted the other woman (who wasn't chosen) and invited her on his date (with his actual choice). Boy was that uncomfortably awesome! Needless to say, he ended up with wine in his face and Patti tearing him a new asshole for being such a creep.
But what really hooked me onto this show was that Patti openly matched heterosexual couples and homosexual couples and the show even had a cougar or two try to snare a young pup. Also, let's be honest here, it's fun watching Patti roast these millionaires for being idiots about their 'standards' and, while she does go overboard sometimes with her loud mouth, she honestly tries to find the perfect match for her clients.
It's nice fluff to pass the time. I don't watch it religiously, especially now that I don't have cable anymore, but if I happen to catch a show here and there I LOVE every minute of it. Guilty pleasures...can't beat 'em!
