Meredith Vieira to Navy Pilot: "I'm an Old, Horny Woman"

TresSugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 15:00:00 -0700

Should Max Shuman of Virginia Beach, VA, want to file a sexual harassment charge against Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? guest host Meredith Vieira, he will have no trouble providing documentation to the authorities.

Unbeknownst to him, the young (and yes, incredibly hot) Navy pilot walked into a cougar's den of lust and inappropriate comments. You can actually watch the poor guy's face change from amused to slightly afraid as it becomes clear that Meredith is not going to stop ribbing him or making horrible double entendres. Sample dialogue: when the clearly rigged question "The childhood prank known as a wet willie involves putting a wet finger in someone's what?" comes up, Meredith says, "Anywhere you want to put it, Max." And that is but one example!

Down, Meredith, down!

Ummm, WTF?! This is a blooper that would only make sense if English were your second language. And for attorney dude here, that doesn't seem to be the case. Epic. Fail.

Who Wants To Be A Dumbass?

GiggleSugar — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 09:00:00 -0700

This is hard to believe. On a French episode of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" a contestant was asked something any second grader would know. By some simple twist of dumb, he couldn't select an answer. He polled the audience and they also were unsure. So what had everyone so stumped? Drum roll please...

The Wench Is Named WHAT?!

GiggleSugar — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 10:00:00 -0700

This game show contestant works as a wench at Medieval Times, but her occupation isn't the only thing that's a blast from the past. She's got quite an imaginative name on her too. In fact, it makes me want to put on a cone-shaped princess hat and skip around on a stick horsey while waving a magical wand in the air. One, two, wheeeeeeeee! (Thanks, Best Week Ever!)

Patricia Heaton: With Friends Like This, Sierra Leone Doesn't Need Enemies

TresSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:33:13 -0700

OK. That's not an entirely fair headline, but seriously, Patricia Heaton was on Who Wants to Be a Celebrity Millionaire trying to win charity money for Sierra Leone last night. The Ohio State graduate, however, could not do basic math. I'm no mathlete either, but this is one of the most excruciating episodes of this show I've ever watched. She positively luxuriates in her refusal to figure out a simple conversion of US dollars to euros back to US coins. And her European husband (ha!) couldn't figure it out either. Start at 3:03 . . . if you dare!

Let's Order Linguini!

It'd be great if that's what LOL stood for! (Mmmm, linguini!)

Meet Matchmaker Amy Andersen, Part I

TresSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:00:00 -0700

I'll admit it: one of my guilty TV pleasures is The Millionaire Matchmaker. I find the orchestrated pairings entertaining and stomach-churning at the same time. Of course, there are other matchmakers hard at work without reality TV contracts.

In the San Francisco Bay Area, Amy Andersen works with 800 singles, half of whom are women. Amy's company, Linx Dating, doesn't call itself a "millionaires" club; instead it fashions itself as a service for both "successful" men and women. Of course, you have to pay to play. Amy's fee starts at $6,000 for eight hand-picked matches. $30,000 gets you 15 introductions, a nationwide search, and a cocktail party. Amy also offers date coaching, image makeovers, wardrobe overhauls, fitness training, and networking cocktail parties.

This sort of "high-end" matchmaking can be controversial, so I thought it would be enlightening to ask Amy to share her take on matchmaking and modern love.

Why do people come to you for your services?

Amy Andersen: People come to me because they are educated and hardworking, (typically) young professionals who are interested in finding a like-minded, quality match. Often our clients have dabbled in online dating (to mixed results), most have attempted the bar scene to unpleasant outcomes, and due to their success and taking their professional careers seriously, they refuse to date their colleagues. Thus, the resources shrink, and choices become limited and sparse.

To find out what qualities Amy's clients look for in a date, and to see how she would answer critics, read more.

What are the top qualities a man looks for in a woman?

AA: I would say being physically fit is way up there -and keep in mind, fitness can be wide ranging; she doesn't have to be an Ironman triathlete, just someone who cares about her health and enjoys fitness - along with being confident and happy with who she is. It's also important she has a life outside the relationship - in other words, not clingy. Being warm and nurturing is also way up there!

What are the top qualities a woman looks for in a man?

AA: A woman looks for good DNA! She wants a man who is going to be a good provider - so she looks for financial stability. Our clients are not looking for a guy jockeying between jobs and floating around trying to figure out what to do with his life. She also looks for physical appearance, often wanting him to be fit or tall. And finally someone who is a good communicator, not a game player.

What would you say to critics who think you're setting up gold-diggers with men who want trophy wives?

AA: We couldn't be more opposite of matchmakers who only represent men and simply have women in their databases. Unlike The Millionaire Matchmaker or other firms, we represent both men and women, and not just average but exceptional professionals. So many of our female clients are just as, if not more, successful than their male counterparts. A critic could speculate that men gravitate toward the network to meet a highly affluent woman! It really could not be further from the truth that we work with gold diggers. Everyone in Linx is an equal, and each client pays for the service. Thus there are not unusual expectations, or women desiring rich men, or men desiring a casual hookup.

Can money buy you love?

AA: Money can buy you the option to meet someone great, but it can’t buy you chemistry which leads to love. That is left up to two people and fate.

Come back tomorrow to find out what Amy thinks about "hooking up" and traditional gender roles.

Megan Wants . . . a Murderer?

TresSugar — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:00:00 -0700

I bet Megan Hauserman (previously from Rock of Love 2 and I Love Money) did not think that her money-hungry ways could blind her from seeing a potential murderer in her midst. But that’s exactly what happens on Megan Wants a Millionaire, VH1’s show about a bunch of douches who want to date a gold-digger. It turns out that contestant Ryan Jenkins is a person of interest in the murder of his wife, Jasmine Fiore, whom he married (and possibly killed!) after the show finished taping. It's been reported that he's already fled the country.

I saw a few episodes of Megan Wants a Millionaire, and even for reality TV, it’s pretty awful. Just when you thought the worst character infraction the contestants could have was being douchey, this news comes out. Very, very scary.

The Millionaire Matchmaker Show

GiggleSugar — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 03:00:00 -0800

I couldn't help but think while watching The Millionaire Matchmaker show that these people all deserve each other: the woman who started this ~~dating~~ escort service; the millionaires who want "Madonna in the bedroom, Martha in the kitchen, and Mary Poppins in the nursery;" and the women whose primary criterion for a prospective sex partner/husband is that he make six figures. Whatever "romantic" means, this is the opposite.

Who Wants To Win An Ounce?

Here's Sacha Baron Cohen pre-Borat in his Ali G incarnation. Regis Philbin would have had some stiff competition if this was on opposite Who Wants to Be a Millionaire...bwahahaha!
