The Jack Ass
Patti is the no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is (or should be) matchmaker who this week actually booted an impossible client. Why was he so difficult? Well, for starters, Jack is a self-proclaimed playboy who insists on getting right to the meaty beaty big and bouncy and forget the process that would help him get into what he claims he wants: a long-term relationship.
But the forty-year-old who hangs out with twenty-somethings on Chippewa Street spends most of his date boasting about getting into bars free, goes against Patti’s advice about having the frat boy Peter Pan pals along, and virtually deserts his date.
Patti lets him have it; tells him to get rid of that smirk; and refuses to send him out on any more dates. I love her.
The Andreadorable
To offset the disgusting antics and subsequent smirkings of the jackass, Patti works with Mary, a “grandmotherly” type who is more coo-coo eccentric in her presentation of herself. Patti cleans up the act with salons and shopping for newer clothes, and Mary, a delightfully fun and full of laughter woman meets an adorable man her age who drives a fast car (he speeds up and off with Andrea in the T-Bird, and you can hear hear whooping as they drive away from the cameras).
Refreshing Reality
Refreshing Reality: Confessions of a Matchmaker by Roxanne McDonald
|
If refreshing reality is not an oxymoron…. |
“Confessions of a Matchmaker” could be such a
disappointment, or could be just another “Bachelor” or “Joe Blow” knock-off or “Blind Date” or Fifth Wheel” repeat that it has us longing for the days of the more conservative, more innocuous “The Newlywed Game” or “The Dating Game”.
But “Confessions of a Matchmaker”, with its astringent wake-up call to daters offers viewers a new take on finding love and avoids the stale programming rut that A&E might have been veering toward.
The ballsy, no-nonsense, tough-love approach of professional dating coach Patti Novak (who also slams us awake with hard rock sound-over on her website) is up there with the brutality of honest criticism as voiced by Simon Cowell, Nigel Lithgoe, or SuperNanny Jo.
