Bryce Gruber

The “Millionaire Matchmaker” is yet more car crash TV under the guise of “reality.” This series seeks to pair millionaires with their dream dates, as long as they take a camera crew along for the ride.

Last night’s season premiere we saw that Patti & Co. have picked up to aid the lovelorn in New York, you know, since everybody in Los Angeles is well on their way down the aisle thanks to Patti Stanger.
There's been debate about how different the dating  scene is on the East Coast as opposed to the West Coast. Stanger previously told Zap2it that the New York millionaires are "temperamental ... They're obsessed with perfection, moreso not in the looks department, but on the resume."

We certainly see that in the first episode with "millionairess" Bryce Gruber, a pretty 26-year-old who bears a resemblance to a brunette Blake Lively. Bryce wants perfection, even says that explicitly and then describes her tall, Jewish George Clooney ideal.

But as always, it's about the schadenfreude. Feeling a little bit better about yourself because either a) You're in a happy relationship or b) Your dating woes are not nearly as bad as those depicted on the show. Either way, Patti provides a service to the viewers at home, even with a change in venue.
