prettyontheoutside.com tackles the Millionaire Matchmaker
We can thank the WGA strike for the recent upwelling of heinously unwatchable reality TV series, the king (or queen) of which just has to be the BRAVO network’s Millionaire Matchmaker .

VH1 brought us some of the most ridonculous reality TV moments of the season courtesy of Rock of Love - Poison frontman Bret Michaels’ search for true love in the form of a reality TV tartlet. To his credit, he appeared to choose the least repulsive of all the strumpets…er, contestants…er, women? Well. You know. To his detriment, he allowed the highly entertaining Heather, NOT the “winner,” to tattoo his name on the back of her neck during the taping of one episode. It’s difficult to say... Read Full Story
