The Millionaire Matchmaker "The Trust Fund Brat & The Cliffdiver" Recap (2/27/14)

February 28, 2014

 
This week’s millionaires are Ian Bernardo, a 33-year-old Trust fund baby from NY, and Jeff Ogden, a former NFL wide receiver, kickoff, and punt returner for the Miami Dolphins, Baltimore Ravens, and Dallas Cowboys. 
 
Ian Bernardo, 33, is a Trust funder and an Art dealer. His parents’ net worth is $80 million. Ian has a very eccentric personality. If he had to describe himself in two words, he would say he is intelligent (his words not mine). He is looking for a feminine naïve man that he can manipulate. His celebrity crush is George Michael.

He needs Patti’s help because he can't seem to find his one true love. Patti thinks that Ian has an obnoxious personality. She believes he is insecure and that he is putting up walls to protect himself from hurt. What Patti wants to do is break down his defense mechanisms.
 
Ian is not all bad, he does believe in love. He wants a relationship like his parents. When Patti asks Ian to name another couple besides his parents, who have a a healthy relationship, he names Bernie and Ruth Madoff. At the end of their meeting, Patti assigns Ian homework. She wants him to come up with a list of people, who have healthy relationships. Patti also suggests he meet with an expert before the mixer.
 
Patti calls in her expert, Carson Kressly, (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) to assess Ian. Carson tells Ian to stop putting up walls and just be himself. Ian agrees with Carson that he needs to take down his walls and show his real personality.
 
 
Jeff Ogden, 38, is a former NFL player and Entrepreneur with a net worth of $1.5 million dollars. He is looking for woman with a nice body that is well-maintained and well groomed. His celebrity crush is Jessica Biel. He needs Patti’s help because in his words, “he has no clue what he is doing and wants to find the love of his life.” He is ready to find the woman he can start a family with.
 
Patti is concerned when Jeff tells her that he was married twice before. His first marriage lasted a day and the second one lasted a month. Patti nicknames him the “Cliffdiver.” She thinks he is a hopeless romantic that jumps off the cliff without looking. For the mixer, she advises Jeff to be more of a “Surfer,” she wants him to examine the waters. He needs to think before he feels and really get to know the women when he speaks to them. Patti is hopeful that she can turn the cliffdiver to a surfer.
 
 
Recruiting Session: For Jeff Ogden, Patti and her assistants are looking for a down-to earth, Jessica Biel look alike, that wants to be a country bumpkin and live in Austin, TX.
 
For Ian Bernardo, Patti is looking for men with strong individual personalities that will see through the walls that Ian puts up. Carson Kressly is on hand to help with Ian’s recruiting.
 
The recruiting session goes well. Patti finds several potential daters for both Jeff and Ian.
 
 
Mixer:
Ian picks Phillip and Matt for his mini dates. Ian selects Phillip for his master date.
 
For their date, Ian and Phillip meet at Cirque School. The date starts off with an instructor teaching the two different stretches and exercises. Ian seems to be having a good time with Phillip although he seems annoyed by Phillips’ can-do bubbly personality. Phillip is excited and really wants to get to know Ian more.
 
During dinner, the conversation takes a turn when Phillip tells Ian that he needs to let his guard down and show his real personality. Surprisingly, Ian listens and two end the date on a good note. Phillip even agrees to go out on another date with Ian.
 
When Patti calls Phillip to ask how his date went with Ian, Phillip tells Patti he would go out with Ian again provided that he shows more of his sincere side. Ian says that he really likes Phillip and he wants to go out with him again.
 
Update: Ian and Phillip have been in constant contact since they met in Los Angeles. Phillip plans on traveling to NY within the month to visit.
 
 
Mixer:
Jeff picks Katia and Melanie for his mini dates. Jeff selects Melanie for his master date.
 
The two meet at the beach for their date. Jeff has hired an instructor to teach them how to surf. They end their surfing lesson with a glass of champagne on the beach where they talk about what they are looking for in a mate. The date goes well. Jeff took Patti’s advice and really got to know Melanie.
 
Patti calls Melanie for an update on her date with Jeff. Melanie tells Patti that the date went well. She can't wait to see Jeff again. Jeff had a great time on his date with Melanie as well.
 
Update: Jeff is planning on seeing Melanie the next time he is in Los Angeles. The cliffdiver is avoiding the edge of the cliff for now.
