Is This Really a Talent Worthy of its Own TV Show

Ok, so I do not watch the show, but I do see the commercials for The Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo. Every time I see a commercial I get angry because the woman could not be more annoying, rivaling the annoyance level of the woman in the Progressive Insurance commercials. For anyone who does not know, this is a show about a woman who has made a career (and then the tv show) about her business where she finds dates and spouses for millionaires. Wow, what a skill? I mean who wants to date millionaires? It must be so difficult to find people willing to want to be with someone who can guarantee their financial security for their life time, their childrens' lifetime, and maybe even their childrens' childrens' lifetimes, with plenty to spare on extra houses, cars, jewelry, and more material items than I can even imagine. Where do I sign up to get that job? What is the training - find a single millionaire, walk the person into a restaurant or a bar, and announce, "Hey, does anyone want to date a millionaire?" When all the hands get raised, you then tell the millionaire to pick one. Must be back-breaking work. Get a real job that takes a skill to be proud of, and then maybe it would be worthy of a television show - how about instead of The Millionaire Matchmaker, we find someone who is The Goofy Looking-Short-Poor Matchmaker. Give that person a show, because that would be a talent that might be worth watching.
