   They brought this woman brought back? She-who-herself-has-never-married as the few who stood up to her have pointed out? SP, I never thought she had extensions but that explains why her hair always looked fake to me. Patti’s hair looked like shiny vinyl. Barbie Doll hair looks more realistic.

   I haven’t seen this season but I can guess what the episodes hold:

   She’ll scream at someone for not having long hair and/or straight hair. Or that they aren’t built like sticks with coconuts attached to them. Rachel never looked like any of that yet not once have I heard Patti say, “Destin would marry you if you lost 25 pounds, wiped off some of that greaspaint and got extensions!”

   clients with obvious neurological and social issues will be screamed at to act better and dress better. Like ten minutes of Patti’s rants will suddenly erase a lifetime of neuroses.

   Some dingbat will not listen when Patti says “don’t sleep with him on the first date”.

   Also the booze will flow. Booze makes everything better (sadly).

   Anywho congrats SP on your marriage. And I bet you didn’t have to do any of the things Patti says to do to get your man.

   @Sexy Panda Congratulations to you and Mr Panda!

   I’m so glad you’re doing this show again. Because with some shows experience is a big plus.

   Like Patti’s eyes. There’s 2 possible ways. 1, some colored lenses don’t look fake.

   The trick is to skip the bright colors. And pick 1 that doesnt look like much. People that came with colory eyes can get the translucent kind that’ll just give a cast to it. And make it look more of that color. For regular eyes get an even more dull version. Since you’ve got to get opaque. But that’s a whole different tangent.

   The other way is eye shadow. It might be they just got a makeup artist that put the right shade of brown on her. Which sounds easy. Till you think about all the 70 yr ladies and Drag Queens with blue eyes still trying to find their exact color that’ll make them bluer. It’s like having 1 of those old desks with >9000 secret compartments. And you’ve just got 1 key.

   To get ombre it’s got to be 1 piece of hair that gets dip dyed. Or dip bleached. Like Emily Bustamante had on that Love and Hip Hop spin off.

   I don’t get the non contrasty contrasting extensions thing. I guess people think they’re being conservative but trendy. But it just looks dumb. There’s things in life where you have to either commit or forget.

   To be a season premiere they sure picked boring ass stories. The cast’s makeovers were more interesting than the daters.

   Rachel’s hair looked great the way they had it fixed. Kind of like Bettie Page-Chosun Era fusion. I like that color on her a lot too. But I wonder what she does with it in her real life. When she doesn’t have a hair design team and a couple of hours to sit still while they work on it.

   Destin’s hair ended up kind of blah. I don’t know why they felt like they had to do anything to it. Since obviously he’s not going to let them do anything extreme like a beige afro or something.

   Have a safe trip and a fun honeymoon!

   @SexyPanda, you forgot to include that every season of MM starts with Patti navigating two successful matches so that the viewing audience is lulled into believing that she actually has the ability and skill to make matches, even though she can’t do it in her own life. I guess that’s why I enjoyed Miss Advised (although I’m clearly the only one!) because I wouldn’t trust a 50 year old matchmaker that can’t keep a man and has no one on the horizon that even wants to be in her emotional, high-strung presence.

   Marine biologists at the Woods Hole Research Center claim that a compound synthesized from Patti Stanger’s urine makes a shark repellent that is 96% effective. WHRC’s Dr. Foster Brown said, “Previously, the best shark repellent we had was 42% effective–58% of the time, you still got your ass bit off. But this compound from Ms. Stanger’s urine, sharks just can’t take it. They clear out of the area quick. It makes you wonder what effect it might have on members of her own species… but I hasten to add that I’m no expert in land mammals!”

   I posted this on another page and this is off topic but I find it so funny I had to share with people who *might* actually care (:P)

   The douche Patti dated last season, Mike, was on an episode of RuPaul’s drag race!! And was a super huge douche on that episode too. Lolol!!! The reality show door just keeps revolving.

   LOVE your recaps sexypanda, I’ve read them all and have laughed sooo much. Keep up the great work!!

   Thanks for the great recap, so I don’t actually have to watch Stanker’s show.
