Dates are over, now Patti’s following up. She and Destin call Paolo to get his take on how things went. They first ask about her whole touching issue, and Paolo didn’t notice anything weird about that, so they must’ve cured her. Patti asks if they smooched, and he says he kissed her on the cheek. “So you’re not attracted,” she concludes.
Aimee comes in to chat, and she speaks well of the date, generally. But she also speaks of what she learned during her time with Patti, that dating doesn’t have to be SUCH A BIG DEAL, and it’s okay if a guy kisses her goodnight and there’s no chemistry. It’ll be okay. Aimee and Patti agree that it was a good learning exercise for Aimee, but there’s no longer-term match here.
Patti then calls up Shelise, who speaks highly of her date with Matt. They’ve already had their second date, and apparently he’s talking about flying her out to Arkansas for a visit. Patti and Rachel high-five.
Matt comes in for his sit-down with Patti, and he seems super subdued/reserved. Like, Patti compliments him about the candy trail, and he’s like, “okay.” She asks if they kissed, and he says “not after that.” Huh? He agrees that a sweet, docile girl is really who works best for him. He smiles a little, at least, when Patti suggests he book the plane ticket for Shelise TODAY.
Captions of Truth, what say ye? Paolo and Aimee are no longer, we already knew that. The update about Shelise and Matt is more vague, saying they’re still planning to visit, and something about the hunting invitation with Dad. What does that actually MEAN, though?
Confession time– a friend of mine knows Matt and gave me an in to ask him a few questions about his experience on the show. I’m still waiting for him to get back to me (and I admit that I’m pretty much a terrible interviewer—see my interview with Josh/Penguin Tat from Money Hungry as an example), but when I do, I’ll get that intel to y’all. I want to know what he and Shelise are actually up to, if anything!
Next week! PLUMPTY DUMPTY HELLO KITTY from the NY season is back!!! YAY!!!! That was my all-time favorite MM episode, ever. Looks like she’s still totally ridiculous—please come back and share in her glory with me!

If you like it, spread it!:

This episode was cute. I thought Matt should have picked the other girl, but it looks like he got along well with his date.
Definitely looking forward to next week’s episode. Looks like it’s going to be a train wreck!
Did anyone else get a “in 30 years” tall praying mantis Ann from America’s Next Top Model vibe? Ann was the super tall super awkward deep-voiced model who had zero sexual energy. I got the same thing from Aimee–Some people just give off a neutered stuffed animal feeling to me. Poor lady
Great recap Sexy Panda! Also, I’m a completely straight female, but I think you’re very pretty!
I can’t wait to see Robin next week. Her sloppy fat date with Luke the Plumber was discomfort GOLD
lol re Ann. She was surprised every time she won, though. Very humble. Aimee was painful to watch because she thought she was sexy and deserving of hot men. ::shivers::
Matt’s line about the jacuzzi, patron, and subway cookies made me laugh out loud.
I also am soooo excited for next week. just looking at that picture of her huge smile with no lips makes me laugh
The story about your co worker was hilarious
@Sexy Panda ROFL Too bad your co worker’s not a millionaire. It sounds like he’d be a great episode. If Patti didn’t pull a Zolciak and yank her mike off and run out hollering.
When Aimee 1st started going on about boys touching her I had to go slap my rusted out old gaydar a couple of times in case it was trying to beep.
But after she talked about it some more I got it. She’s been mostly going on 1st dates with boys she’s not really attracted to. And everybody knows how awkward that is. If somebody that’s been auto-friendzoned from the get go so much as holds your hand.
The wrestler kind of reminded me of Sean from the Bachelor. Not his looks. But the old ways he keeps. The girl he picked was probably the closest Patti could come up with.
I can’t wait for the return of Hello Kitty next week!
I CANNOT wait for the return of Hello Kitty. My hubbie and I still quote, \Maserati, Dukati…\.
You have beautiful eyes!
When the bell rang, they were saying any non-physical reason to get rid of who they didn’t want, I think… even if that reason isn’t actually something that’s a negative to them.
I thought her choice of shoe was odd for a dancing date. Those shoes did not look comfortable for dancing. Also, her style of dress bares too much.
I find the Hello Kitty woman cringe-worthy.
Thanks, everyone!
I should have added to the coworker tale that he likes to answer, when asked how he’s doing, “Livin’ the dream.” Oh, yeah? Your dream entails driving a broke-ass POS and creeping girls out? Awesome for you! Living the dream. Stupid.
I hope Aimee got something from this. I remember being paralyzed earlier in my dating days about the first kiss. For a while, it was this great white whale that freaked me the fuck out and made me awful on dates. Then I somehow got over it and dating turned into no big deal. Maybe Aimee’s on her way…
Such a great recap! And LOVED the co-worker story. Everybody has worked with/met a guy like that at some point. I worked with a guy who would never just say, “I’m going to the gym.” It was always, “Going to LIFT today.” Sheesh.
Aimee struck me as a socially awkward dork with the sex appeal of day old chicken mcnuggets. The way she referred to reestyle dancing as if it were some well-known genre was sad and pathetic.
@SexyPanda I know what you mean. What I used to do was take refuge in the friendly kiss both cheeks custom. Whether it was a date or not.
That way if I’d friend zoned the guy, when he moved in, I’d grab him and give him the same double cheeks kiss he’d seen me give girls, boys, Drag Queens and their Auntie MeeMaw.
But have one foot already back, so right after the kiss you just shift your weight, twirl, wave, smile big and in the door!
