First - this show is not for everyone. A lot of people may not like the title, subject matter or even the preachiness of the very opinionated Patti Stanger (the "matchmaker") ... and that's cool.
However, if those things don't immediately repel you ... then it's actually kind of fun to watch. I don't watch the interview-date shows on network TV or MTV/VH1, but this show really grabbed my attention.
Why? We see people diagnosed, coached, select dates and then perform on them. The fact that the focus is on a millionaire (generally 30s-50s) who's paying Stanger a lot of money to find a long-term mate ... adds a flair of interest to it. (Actually, I think that the ones that agree to appear on-camera have their fees waived.)
Patti Stranger's qualifications probably boil down to the fact that she's a fast-talking "do it my way because you're still single" bully. BUT - sometimes that's what might be needed to get some successful businesspeople to make changes (esp. those who are a little too full of themselves).
If you've ever found shows of this genre amusing (even if just for a few minutes), it's worth checking out an episode. You'll either love it and keep watching ... or shun it forever. So far, I'm still watching!
