Teresa Giudice / Patti Stanger


I Hate Jill Zarin     Teresa Giudice/Patti Stanger        September 18, 2010
Fantastic news, Joe Giudice will be paying for his crimes, he was recently caught driving again on a suspended license.  You will recall that his minimal punishment included revoking his driver’s license for a reduced time of 9 months rather than the original 12 months.  Joe seems to think that rules don’t apply to the father of four, he will now leave his wife and daughters for 10-days starting sometime next week to sit in jail.  This could be like a spa get-away for Giudice, no twirling pizza dough or listening to screaming children, just 10-days of R&R.  Keep on driving Joe, maybe eventually you’ll get the punishment you deserved for drinking and driving.
Luckily Teresa, who does all her own cooking, cleaning and caring for her children still has her parents living on site to help out with the kids while Joe’s gone.  Hopefully they can pick up the slack of the endless time and effort Joe puts into raising his daughters.  Oops, did I contradict myself? 
Radar Online broke the story reporting that the most recent arrest and conviction were kept under wraps from the press by having a different name on the court records, luckily Teresa slammed RadarOnline on Twitter earlier in the day ensuring that Radar will slant every Giudice story to the negative.  Nice work Teresa! 
@Teresa_Giudice:   I never look at radaronline. Crappy site crashes my computer. :) xx
Everyone’s favorite matchmaker, Patti Stanger will be returning to Bravo soon and I thought you might all enjoy some of her pearls of wisdom.  (yes, this is sarcasm)
@pattistanger: Men fall in love through their eyes, women fall in love through their ears.
@pattistanger: Score some points...take your man to a "guy" concert. Eminem, Blink 182, KISS
@pattistanger: Four phases of a relationship: Honeymoon, Discern & decide, Negotiation, and Engagement.
@pattistanger: Always be completely honest when online dating. (And if you are looking for a good dating site, try http://www.psxoxo.com)
@pattistanger: Smart women assess the buyer without wasting any more time than necessary.
@pattistanger: You can’t change a shark into a dolphin when it gets caught in your net.
@pattistanger: Bars and clubs: Men go there to hook up, not to find a wife.
@pattistanger: You can’t fix a guy. If he’s got too many issues, he’ll always have another problem.
@pattistanger: Cruise Ships: Single men do not go on cruises. They go with their wife, girlfriend or mother.
@pattistanger: If you can't buy me dinner then you can't ride this ride...stay alone on your bike and peddle on by!
@pattistanger: Taking a poll: Need a cool place in LA to hit this weekend where 40 year old hot women can attract 40 year old hot men...any ideas?
Yes, you read that right, the expert, professional matchmaker is asking people on Twitter where to go in Los Angeles (her hometown) to meet hot men.  She also instructs single women that bars and clubs are not a good place to meet men who are looking for long term relationships, I think maybe Bethenny and Jason would beg to differ.  I think the real thing is better than psycho Patti’s opinion.
As we saw last season, Patti announced that she was engaged, showed off a heart shaped diamond and even met with and abused wedding planners all season long.  About a year after Patti announced her engagement (yet only about a month after it appeared on air) she was a guest with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.  When Andy asked her about a wedding date she exclaimed, “wow, no rush!  We just got engaged!”  Apparently Patti thinks that viewers are stupid and think that the engagement announcement on her miserable show as live, we all know it was filmed almost a year ago so no, Patti, you did not “just” get engaged. 
After being engaged to this man who she claims to have been dating for several years, Patti announced that the engagement was dissolved.  Official story, this man didn’t want children and Patti does.  There are so many things wrong with this entire situation, I don’t know where to begin. 
Having children at Patti’s age, while possible, is highly dangerous and unlikely.  Patti’s supposedly been dating this man for several years, she only now learned that he does not want children? 
I firmly believe that because Stanger was taking so much heat for being a matchmaker and being single, she somehow talked this man into posing as her fiancé for a period of one year (possibly for an exchange of cash) in order to improve her image and get people off her back about being single.
Patti flashed that ring in the faces of more people on her show last season than a strobe light in a disco, she taunted single women with this ring, she shoved it into the faces of clients trying to make a point that she was “the expert” at finding love and how to treat women. 
While some may call Stanger “direct”, I call her a full on bitch who has to make others feel inferior in order to make herself feel superior.  Moving her show from Los Angeles to New York City doesn’t seem to have made any difference at all, she still demeans the ladies and terrorizes her “clients”. 
I strongly question her “success” rate and obviously someone had to have challenged her “98% success rate” that she claimed for the first few seasons of her show because it has now changed to “a very high success rate”.   If this woman had any success’s at all, we typically see them in a follow up, for example there was a couple who were actually both millionaire clients and rather than choosing someone that Patti picked for them, they chose each other.  There as one follow up with this couple and they were still long distance dating but still didn’t seem all that serious, it appears as though they just wanted to be on the show again. 
Patti talks about them in this interview, again the only success that she can point to and it was her two clients finding each other by chance, not because Patti connected them:
Without any other memorable “successes” that we have been privy to, my guess is her success rate is merely that she snagged a show on Bravo and has duped the producers into thinking she actually knows what she is doing. 
Does anyone remember during Patti’s first few seasons how she berated anyone who would even consider on line dating, she called it ridiculous and a horrible new “trend” in dating, she said it was impersonal and claimed to know that it had a horrible success rate.  Well, guess who now has their very own on line dating site?  You guessed it, Patti Stanger!  This woman is a hypocrite!
For just $24.99 per month, you too can join Stanger’s dating site (or $12.99 if you commit to 6-months).  I wonder if it costs extra to have her abuse and berate you just for good measure?
Stanger also offers a service in which you can call her and she’ll chat with you about your relationship issues at $90 for 30 minutes of her valuable time, she will school you on what you’re doing wrong.  Her two assistants are also available for phone consultations at a reduced rate. 
We also know that the gentlemen don’t pay Patti’s outrageous $10,000 fee to use her services, Bravo picks up the tab for that, I can only assume that these millionaires (if they really are in fact wealthy men) simply want to be on television.  Why else would they consider being abused by this horrible woman?
Patti Stanger Trivia:  Did you know Anna Nicole Smith went on a date setup by The Millionaires Club?  She dated Claude Dauman on The Anna Nicole Show. (and we know how that whole story ended)
If her attitude on the show isn’t  bad enough, she is videotaped having lunch with RHOA’s Kim Zolciak using disgustingly foul language and while talking on the phone with RHONY’s Jill Zarin, she is berating and verbally abusing Jill’s former friend, Bethenny Frankel.  Take a look:
Is this the woman you want to handle your love life?  Oh and apparently she’s an expert in making television pilots and producing a reality show.
If that isn’t bad enough, an audio recording of Stanger verbally abusing a stylist has also been released to the public.  Take a listen:
Anyone who is looking for a blog about this upcoming season of Millionaire Matchmaker will have to go elsewhere, I love you all but asking me to watch this woman is just cruel. 
Until Next Time….
