This season, Patti is back like you’ve never seen her before with a new bag of tricks to find love for her successful and high-profile clients. Her guidance leads to a surprise on-screen proposal, but can she use her expertise to help the couple seal the deal?

Bravolebrities will also make appearances at The Millionaires Club including Reza Farahan, Lil Romeo, Caroline and Chris Manzo, Sonja Morgan and more.  “I have worked with celebs off camera for years,” says Stanger.  “I'm so excited to pull back the curtain and show viewers that the Hollywood elite want love just like we do!”

Patti Stanger is adding a fresh face to The Millionaire Matchmaker staff! The reality TV show host let go of two staffers and has replaced them with Miss Ohio USA Candace Smith as her new Director of Recruiting.  Smith, who obtained her law degree from Northwestern University School of Law, was practicing law when she won the sought-after title. After earning the coveted award, she made her way out west and settled in Los Angeles where she began working as a business consultant. But Hollywood had bigger plans for her!  The pageant star began appearing in campaigns for Ciroc vodka alongside Diddy, on NBC’s Joey, HBO’s Entourage and most recently, End of Watch with Jake Gyllenhaal and Gimme Shelter with Rosario Dawson. When she wasn’t busy acting on hit shows and in big movies, Smith also worked as a life coach, business consultant and professional matcher, putting her psychology and law degree to good use!  Will she be a good match for Stanger? Find out when Millionaire Matchmaker premieres Sunday, Dec. 7 on Bravo!
