"Millionaire Matchmaker" Is the New Heidi Fleiss

Posted Mar 5th 2008 2:35PM by TMZ Staff

Bravo may want to check out muppet-faced yenta Patti Stanger's credentials, because last night's finale of "Millionaire Matchmaker" featured two successful men on dates with educated women of high pedigree and social standing -- like Playboy cybergirls and escorts!

Cidney (left) was made out to be a wholesome Jewish girl with a Masters in Journalism -- but they forgot to mention she models for Playboy and was something called Cybergirl of the Month. While Cidney accepted a marriage proposal from Vegas real estate mogul Paul Murad after just one date, turns out the couple have already split. Shocker!

On the show "Marcela" was said to be a travel agent, in actuality she looks a lot like "Victoria" (right) from the escort website Miamicompanions.com. But you don't have to be a millionaire to date Victoria -- she can be all yours for $300/hour!

TMZ contacted Bravo for comment, but have not heard back.

18. #17- They are two different chicks. They were the porno/escort chicks that were on the show last night. There's no way that Victoria is only 30 years old. On the show, she looked like she was at least 40.

19. I watched the show for the first time yesterday (3/4/08) -- found the show boring and pathetic. Now, after reading this article, I see why .... high-priced hookers. Another reality show that is phoney.

21. There is nothing wrong with being a Playboy model. Big deal. Though it is funny that the show tries to make all the girls look like they're not models or just in it for the cash. Being an escort is a bigger deal and that's what needs to be looked into.

22. Okay is it more or doesn't that Cindy girl look like one for the girls that was on the Bachlor. I don't remember whtich bachlor but I am pretty sure she was on that show. And one clear observation that she wasn't all innocent was the short skirt and that shirt I mean a girl next door would not wear that to a first date. But as for her taking pics for Playboy I don't really tnd think its that bad cause well its Playboy the best of the best. Hell if your going to pose nude might as well do it for the top of the line magazine.

23. For you, she can give it wholesale....

24. They also had Tonya, the most skanky one of Paradise Hotel on Fox's new slutty show. That took away any and all claims that they are well educated professionals .. professional high paid sugar daddy hunters, that is.

25. On one of the episodes there was a girl named Tanya that the guys could choose to go on a date with. I thought she looked familiar, and sure enough she is the slut from Paradise Hotel 2 that was so upset when she did not get a roommate to hook up with right away. Patti and her matchmaking skills are a joke.

26. It doesn't surprise me...they are joining a group with the hopes of landing a milionaire. They are essentially hookers who don't walk the streets!

27. The show is lame and so are the people on there. Patti needs to find someone to take her ass in. She looks a baboon in some zoo. Come to think of it a baboon looks better. BRAVO needs to pull the show and get something better on there. A&E pulled DOG BRAVO should pull this lame ass show. If I wanted to see hookers getting hitched i'd watch Bunny Ranch on HBO at least they are honest about their profession on that show. WOW i should write for TMZ that would cool.

28. I'm a millionaire, and I want to thank TMZ for this. I was considering talking with Patty Stanger, but if she's arranging dates with Hookers & Whores, I don't need her. I can do that for myself. Thanks, TMZ!

29. 28. SLUTS!! I hope if any of those women marry any of those "millionaire men" the guys will wrangle up a serious ass PRENUP!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am of firm belief that if the girls are bogus ,the "Millionaires" most likely are also .Reality tv is unrealistic thats why most people enjoy it ,it stretches truth .Like any good soap opera will do ...lol .JMO

30. This is an embarrassment for Patti Stanger, to be sure, and I'm sure there will be a lawsuit over this. HOWEVER, this is not the real problem. The real problem is that so-called reality tv shows have employed a bunch of braindead chimpanzees to work on the shows, especially in the fact checking/background checking departments. Let's review:

1) American Idol has a history of bringing on people with shady pasts; gay strippers, people with restraining orders, ex-felons, drug dealers, and criminals.

2) The food network just fired Chef Robert Irvine because he boldfaced lied about his cooking experience; he claimed he cooked for Presidents & the Royal Family in England; turns out he did neither.

3) Now this, with Millionaire Matchmaker. Imagine being a millionaire, and being set up by this matchmaker with a woman who is a PROSTITUTE, who sells herself out for all sorts of nasty sex with anonymous strangers for $300/hour.

It just amazes me how little background checking these shows do, and how blatantly fictitious & dishonest they are. Everyone involved in these shows should hang their heads in shame...
