Millionaire Matchmaker: SexyPanda

Welcome back, Patty Stanger and Co.! And welcome to the Big Apple!

This season, Patty will attempt to hook up neurotic Jews and bombastic guidos with the loves of their lives. Or, at least that’s what this season premiere leads us to believe. On tonight’s episode, Patty works with a sports-oriented guy from Staten Island who is exactly the stereotype you’d expect, who actually has a heart of gold. She also tries really hard to find a nice Jewish boy for the stoniest, coldest bitch this side of the Mississippi, to no avail. It’s excruciating to watch. (And I promise to use many variations of “cold” and “stony” when talking about her.) Otherwise, it’s business as usual for the matchmaker we all know and love! Come back, we’ll tawk!

Biggest Loser: Bluzgirl

On Biggest Loser, the five people who competed in the various cities got another chance to get on the ranch. Selfishly, I was rooting for dreadhead life coach, Corey, just because I wanted him to make it to makeover week and see Tim Gunn use his fine, manicured hands to rip out Corey’s stupid goatee. So, we get to reacquaint ourselves with him, Anna (lost her little boy to cancer), Shanna (breast cancer survivor), Sandy (lost her brother), and Montina (doesn’t have a sad story, but does sport huge earrings. For a weigh in. I know). They all did extremely well, but it is Anna who knocked it out of the park with a 39lb weight loss, so she is back in the game. And oh boy, what a game it is becoming.

The next twist is now the group will be divided into blue (trained by Bob) and black (trained by Jillian) and Anna gets to pick the teams. She wisely spends time with each contestant to get the mood of the group and who they each want to be with. Also–she gets to pick someone to get immunity. And this is important: that someone could be her. So, they get divided into teams and Anna gives immunity to Patrick. Because it makes complete and total sense to not take it yourself when you’re already the odd man out. Anna–these people are playing a game and playing it hard–better wise up fast. Patrick goes to the team who loses the weigh in. There is a lot of strategy and talk about throwing the weigh in to get the prized possession which is Patrick, but the only weight loss that looks like shenanigans is Boston Brendan, who loses only 2lbs and immediately denies throwing it. Worst. Liar. Ever. Anna is scared to death she’ll be the first to go, but it is our elder gentleman, Rick, who is shown the door…Trust me, these people are playing very seriously here and it’s not that whole “saving our lives” stuff we’re used to with this show. All the gory details to come…

    Yay! Thanks! :)

    If you click around anywhere my name is tagged, you’ll see a list of my former recaps, which includes my recaps of the last season of MM. I rewatched a few episodes during the marathon leading up to the season premiere the other night and was like, “oh yeah! That guy is terrible!” It’s a lot of fun to write about “Patty Melt” (copyright Miss Andy).

    Glad you’ll be reading!!

    I always thought Patty was a bit of a know-it-all. Maybe more of her off-screen matches are successful than we see on the show. But she lost some cred with me when she left her long term fiance’. Nothing against those peeps, but if I was paying her that kind of mullah, I’d want to see a more upscale operation than tats, mohawks and all the office staff in one room. I agree Panda, I’m skipping Patty in the Big Apple.

    I don’t care if you watch–I care if you read!! HA! So, welcome, welcome. I’ll keep you abreast of all comings and goings of Ms. Stanger, puns intended.

    I just can never get over the fact that she casts these people to meet millionaires by means of a Craig’s List posting. I really don’t get it. A while back (two years ago?) friend of mine was actually in the process of meeting millionaires through a national millionaire matchmaking service, and it was highly vetted and NOT a Craig’s List-y sleazy process at ALL!! The TV side of Patty’s business sucks, but I still love to watch!

    I always wondered if Stankler had real employees and a professional personna for her real business, and a “cast” and a “role” for the reality show. Because I agree, she’s about as pleasant to deal with as a herpes sore, and her staff is right out of a head shop. I’m not sure rich singles would trust anything about that crew to find them a quality slam puppy.

    When Patty posts those Craig’s List casting ads, does she ask that respondents “write ‘whoops, Patty lost her man!’ in the subject line so I know you’re not spam”? “If you like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain…”? “Looking for a partner in crime”? “If you’re not into thick girls, keep going”?

    I just want to know if Patti gave back her heart-shaped ring. Gosh, she is so tacky and gross but nice to know from the pic above that she is no stranger to Photoshop!
    Her matchmaking service is more like an escort service. Usually with matchmaking, BOTH parties pick who they want, no? She seems to just find hot girls with aspirations of becoming a trophy wife and sends them on dates with any guy who picks them. Is anyone surprised that they are hardly any second dates?

    I’m suspicious about her breakup with Andy. Heck, I’m suspicious about her engagement. I think she just did that to prove that she is desirable and capable of ‘closing the deal’. She got a lot of flack on her show and I remember one gatecrasher (people who arrive at mixers uninvited) saying, “Uh, Patti..where’s your ring? You’re an expert and you can’t even snag a millionaire?”

    Her story has been inconsistent at best. She tweeted the end of her engagement saying that she wanted kids and Andy didn’t. So…they never discussed this during 5-years of dating and a season of wedding planning? When did she find out? And what 48 yr old woman thinks she’s going to have children outside of surrogacy and adopting?

    She was on WWHL tonight and told Andy Cohen that she and her ex Andy simply ‘grew apart.’ Really, AFTER they got engaged? I smell shenanigans.

    Holy Shit! Mamma Manzo and Albie are going to be on this season and Patti tells Albie to cut the apron strings.
