I was just blown away when you referred to two women as "ugly"...just blown away. Just not right. :((

Have you checked out "Fabulous Over Fifty - Date My Single Kid"? Please do and while you are there check out my son....Eric Joseph. He's not a millionnaire but he will be someday. with much fondness for you A Jewish Bubbee, Mindy

How can you chastise David for "judging a book by it's cover" when you have the nerve to criticize the women at the casting calls and call them ugly, among many other hurtful and unkind adjectives??? You may be good at matchmaking, but you're terrible at showing them any respect!

My husband and I looked at each other in shock when you called the women at the casting call "ugly." How terribly mean-spirited and unnecessary. You then implore your bachelor not to judge a book by its cover and try to "school" him on his superficial hang-ups. How incredibly hypocritical.

There's a fine line between honesty and cruelty. You can be "spicy" for television without crushing someone's spirit and humiliating them. I feel for all the young women you abuse and hope they have the support from others to know you are wrong. Shame on you, your staff, and Bravo.

It is what it is...Patti is not here to boost self esteem and be a therapist, she calls it like it is because she doesn't have time for the rest. If she wanted to listen to them past what they are looking for in a mate, she'd be in a different profession.

Bravo Anna! Women have enough struggles as it is!

Jason doesn't respect women? That's awfully funny to hear considering how many of the women Patti had no problem disrespecting during the casting for dates.

I soooo want to meet Jason!! He loves to have fun and wants to settle down one day. I would actually like to go out with his friens ; )

BTW... Hi Jason!

Why don't you take your own advise that you gave about hating people and learn to chant " I love people." I think you need it, Patti. A little compassion can go a long way. Also, Jason didnt deserve your mean comments either, are you so lacking insight that you couldnt see he has an issue much more than just hanging out with his friends? You are supposed to be a relationship expert. If we want low blows we will watch the real housewives of nj, you should take more responsibility for your comments to people.

Hi Patti,

As for all the people who seem to be bashing you for calling some of the women ugly screw them. Millionaire's don't want frumpy, overweight or ugly women. They want hot and sexy, duh!

Anyways, as for Jason. Are you sure he's a millionaire? He obviously has no self esteem or self respect for himself if he has to drink all the time. I think that he needs to go to therapy before he ever dates and go to rehab because if he keeps going like he's going he's gonna end up there. Doesn't he realize that if he keeps drinking he's going to end up lonely and before ya know it he's going to have a giant beer gut, be bald and there ain't nothing sexy about a bald headed drunk in their 30's or 40's.

How is Patti going to find someone then??

i like u program , i will like to see iff u can macht me whit a samrt, cute and fun man, i am very smar , inteligent so i don like donp people is har to me get a boy friend because i am hot i like to dress good , good makeup i am no a model but i like to looks good and hir en pensilvania a dont fine no one nice cute and smart pleasehelp

Patti, Come to think of it I think your show is better suited on the west coast and far more interesting. You have men and women fly in from all different areas. It just doesn't seem the right fit for the tri-state area. Just an opinion.

I agree Anna, Patti shame on you! I am so disturb about Patti and her little sidekick comments tearing people apart which is so in humane, How embarassing for anyone associated with her and her so called company! she is a joke, a con artist that made it big by targeting millionaires, now she's a white collared gypsy.

Dear Sheila, I'm no matchmaker, but a good spell check would sure help in the brains dept.

Love Patti!!!!!!!!

Patti is the best, however her staff could be replaced!

How can I contact Jason the guy in NY??

hahahaha awesome!! i was thinking the same thing!

It shouldn't matter that you are a big shot, have limited time, and need to make a "reality" show interesting; the Golden Rule is the Golden Rule, and it is simple: Treat others as you would like to be treated. I commend you for reminding your client David of it during that exercise when he was uglified, but how about you follow it for yourself during your casting sessions? You and your staff are so brutal with your negative comments to those girls. A simple "no" would suffice much better than ripping them to complete shreds for such atrocities as (gasp!) curly hair or a large nose (talk about being hypocritical!). The show would still be interesting without the cruel comments.

What's wrong with being honest? Why not tell it like it is? I love her honesty !!

Since when are the Manzo brothers Millionaires? Seem to be nice guys but the last time I checked, they're still students working for their parents.....Their folks might be millionaires, but kinda wrong to sell them off as being the millionaires.

Patti, love the show! To the comments on calling the girls ugly; they should know what they are getting themselves into. Come on now, "Millionaire Matchmaker"! They must expect at least some level of superficiality. So what if she called them ugly, they were! She also told the gay millionaire that he could only get a 7 at best, so he shouldn't be picky. These women are there because they want men with money, plain and simple, and they should expect to get burned. The entire premise of the show is average looking millionaires looking for hot mates, let's be real people!

Hi!!!! I was soooo impressed by Jason's laid back demeanor and not afraid to be up front. Some guys are turned off by a girl/guy like that. I would LOVE to meet him and his friends and do some shots!!!!.....while still maintaining my sexy lady status, cause it can be done!!!!:) Thanks Patti..... ps i know you didnt like him but please get him back on with some girls that have similar interests--like me!!!!

I sooooo agree. No excuse for poor manners!

finally someone who tells it like it is i love this show honestly i cant think of anyone doing her job like she does. i want to know what you success rate is?

Patti if you need a new intern hire me! My dream is to move to NYC someday and I would deliever all the hot girls and guys you would want! Im a scorpio and I pride myself on being a great judge of character! So if andrea doesnt work out call me!

I agree with you, Patti should have only said no instead of being cruel.

I agree johnjohn- the whole episode seemed so fake/staged- i sure hope bravo isn't thinkin about giving them their own show, in their quest to find love! oh brother!

I really am bothered by your comment on the Manzo Bros. show where you slam the NYC women for their fashion sense....and you're saying it to Justin and Rachel!!! I can't believe how you insult people on air regarding their looks, and yet you are allowing them to represent you and your company. I LOVE their personalities; I just think you're being hypocritical toward your clients.

Okay, that Shelly chick was so ridiculously not from Israel. Maybe she lived there for a bit but, c'mon she didn't even use the word shikse correctly. A shiksa is a girl, duh!! Even I know that and I am so not Jewish! I feel sorry for Jason. Clearly, money does not bring happiness. He has such eself-steem issues and an obvious drinking problem. Thirty-years-old, joined at the hip to his friends and a liquor bottle and barely ready for even casual dating. Why would he sign up for this show?

I think NYC is not the best place for Patti's approach. First of all, single women in NYC work! They're driven and work crazy hours and need a matchmaker because they don't have time to meet men at 4:30 in a Wall St bar. Also, women in NYC dresses for themselves or fashionistas. Some get caught up in trends - like the pouf skirt or the librarian barrette look - and don't necessarily look sexy. Sure, if they truly want a relationship they need to find time AND dress to catch men's interests. Patti needs to tell them that instead of that they're just ugly or that the intern isn't doing her job. They don't need Patti to find them Brooklyn alcoholics.

I agree with most of the comments here. Patti - pot, kettle, black. I used to enjoy this show. Not so much now.

I agree that NYC is not the place for Patti for matchmaking. She should also stay away from the Bronx, Staten Island and Queens.

None of the men shown have been millionaires, and the women all look like librarians or too young.

As for the woman millionaire, I felt if she had a relationship with a 50 yr old, why fix her up with someone in their 20's or 30's? Apparently, she isn't interested in supporting their life style.

I'm a Jewish girl in Florida and I'm so young and still have much to learn, I love your show because honesty is the best policy! You give great advice that makes people think about their life style choices. :) I also agree with sex comes monogamy, it is refreshing to hear you say it.

If these women have so many struggles/issues as you all whine about then why put yourself in that situation? Perhaps they would benefit from seeing a therapist FIRST to work through that then look into dating. What Millionaire is going to pay 50k for someone who obviously shops at Kmart. Patti is there is do the job she was hired to do, not coddle NYC under achievers. Do they go apply for jobs looking like that? Even a well tailored business suit would look better than flats and something you borrowed from one of your three roomies.

And i'll add that some of the Millionaires have problems they too need to iron out with a therapist first. Especially the gay guy with over the top OCD. What a drag he was.

I agree west coast girls seem to keep themselves up more. They take pride in the effort they take to look nice to attract and keep men/women.

Honestly Patti - I don't know what trauma you recently have experienced in your life, but the way you speak to your employees this season compared to last season is unprofessional and downright horrible. Perhaps you're doing this for television (ratings)? Regardless, you're show has taken a terrible turn.

Some may find your behavior entertaining, but I don't, and it may very well explain why you are single.

A former viewer.

Patti! I am a HUGE fan of your show. I love your style and your honesty. I would LOVE to meet Jason if he is still single! I'm 24 and get referred to Kim Kardashian and Nicole Scherzinger all the time.

Keep up with the honesty! If people don't like it than they are just softies!

I would like to date Patti

Wow TV has stooped this low ... listen what Millionaire would consult with Herman Munster in drag to get him/her a date ... and look at the staff? Good God what swamp did these people crawl out of!

SO, how is it that it is NOT okay for David to be SO judgemental about looks, and yet it is a selling point of your show to completely destroy the ego of someone who may not meet your criteria by calling them ugly. For someone who believes everyone needs a chance at love, you certainly don't love other people or you wouldn't be SO outwardly hostile. You have crossed the line from being honest, to just being outright mean.
