You would think after the infamous appearance that Sheree Whitfield made on Iyanla Vanzant’s Fix My Life Show where Iyanla gave up and declared that for the first time she had a guest that was unfixable (I’m not kidding go here if you missed it) and that everything in Sheree’s life including “Chateau Sheree” was incomplete, Sheree would stay off reality TV and stop embarrassing herself. But no. Two years later, her we go again.
We start with Sheree talking to production about her “search for love.” I am struck by how masculine she looks. She works out a lot and I wonder if she takes steroids. It reminds me of the time a drag queen died and someone accidently used Sheree’s photo on the TV Guide obituary. The poor people at TV Guide had to write a retraction but, it really was an honest mistake that anyone may have made. Sheree says she is not in a relationship because she is busy teaching “boot camps.” I’ve not heard a soul in Atlanta mention that including Sheree on her social media. That is what she should be doing but I seriously doubt she is.
Patti says that, “Sheree was married to Bob Whitfield and it ended really badly and I don’t think she ever recovered,” as if the relationship ended badly because of Bob. The relationship ended badly because despite Bob giving Sheree a seven-figure divorce settlement as she pined for on the first season of Real Housewives of Atlanta, she squandered all the money by insisting on appealing the generous settlement and attempting to take the case to the Georgia Supreme court. The attorneys’ fees and the cars she purchased ate up all the money resulting in the viewers of RHOA seeing Sheree and the kids living in an apartment with what appeared to be air mattresses ( or dog beds according to Sheree’s explanation) on the floor in the kid’s bedroom and disappearing TVs and gaming systems. Here are the real details on Sheree’s divorce. Perhaps Patti should have read about all that first.
Patti takes Sheree to a crystal shop to start trying to get the horrible vibes from Sheree in check right away. Sheree has a new bagel for her requisite bagel head hairstyle. I had a hard time not busting out laughing during all of our court cases when Sheree would wobble in on heels and the bagel would struggle mightily to remain atop her pointy little head.
Patti asks how old Sheree’s kids are and she says her youngest is 15 now. Patti points out that Sheree is going to be an empty nester soon. Yes, and if Sheree has anything to say about it she is going to be one in a huge house full of round rooms with no yard near a bus stop. I doubt that will even happen. But that seems to be Sheree’s goal. Patti says she has about five years before she is all alone. Sheree says, “two and a half! I’m already counting!” She’s counting alright because her little bit of child support she has left is going to be about none very soon.
Patti says that Sheree seems to have a lot of residual anger from her marriage to Bob. This is exactly what Iyanla told her. Bitter and angry. That is what Sheree exudes in person to everyone she comes in contact with. It takes no time at all to notice it. Patti has Sheree select a crystal to help her get rid of her bitterness and anger. There is an array of phallic crystals before her. She selects a short brown one. Sheree says she has not been in a relationship in seven years.
Patti says she has watched housewives and seen all of her fights with people. She rolls a clip of the “who gonna check me boo!” incident and point out that situations like this do not endear her to men. Sheree claims that she has tons of men approaching her. LOL. Patti says she is going to find Sheree a businessman.
Patti says that there could be two things happening with Sheree. Either she is a slow burn that takes a while to heat up to a man, or she is the problem. Well according to Iyanla, it is option B, there Patti. And be careful because when you tell Sheree that she gets very pissy with production and says she is being attacked. She will not hear that she is oozing anger and bitterness from every pore.
Sheree says her celebrity crushes are Matthew McConaughey and Kobe Bryant. She has been talking about Kobe for the past seven years. Patti is asking if Sheree is ready to let a man in. She asks if there is a vacancy at Chateau Sheree. Sheree says there is a vacancy at Chateau Sheree. Oh, it’s nothing but vacant. I have a feeling Sheree insisted they not discuss that the house remains incomplete two full years after the Iyanla taping and this is Patti sort of jabbing at that open wound.
At the prescreening meeting for Sheree’s date the group laughs about her needing a plumber to get “her pipes” working again. Patti again points out that Sheree is off-putting and not welcoming. She says she needs a welcome mat. Patti says they need a man with money. Somebody needs to bail out that Chateau. Patti is not going to find a match for Sheree even if she does find the right type for her because Patti’s men are always LA based. I don’t like this new pair of assistants Patti has. What happened to the old ones?
Time for the mixer. Patti has given the two looking for love minimal choices. It is a speed dating set up. I was wondering what job title they would give Sheree. Apparently, she is a “fitness instructor.” Huh.
As soon as Sheree goes to the first guy, a cute architect, Pattie informs us that Sheree is cold and closed off. The guy who is a tennis pro is really good at chatting with the ladies. LOL. She asks him about his five-year plan and he says he is working with some relatives who have property and he plans to have “something built on it” by then. These two seem like a perfect match with their decades long building endeavors. She asks how old he is. He says he is 42 and asks how old she is and she gets all pissy and offended. Sheree is interrogating the guys. The guy gets along great with all the ladies. If I were speed dating him I’d make him take his Ray Bans off.I get they are on a boat, but the ladies don’t have glasses on. The last guy, Terry is a TV producer so Sheree will pick him because she is dying to be back on TV. Sheree has changed her “five-year plan” with each guy.
Patti definitely knows about the situation with Chateau Sheree. In her talking heads she keeps taking pot shots about it subtlety. She keep talking about Sheree needing to get heated up for a man. She says during speed dating the crock pot was not even at a simmer, in fact, she is not even able to turn the electricity on in the house. You can’t tell me that is coincidental. Cleary, Sheree was a bitch on the show behind the scenes. Again. And Patti is airing it all out. 
Patti asks Sheree to choose her date and she can’t make a decision. Patti is highly irritated. Clearly, the penis crystal didn’t work. Patti stops everything and brings in a psychic to try to read her energy (news flash, it’s dark and ugly) and get her aura cleansed or something. He tells her marriage is in her future. That is not what the witch doctor told her in Africa. He said she would never be with “a man” again. Which leads us back to the question, did Patti fish in the right pong for Sheree’s date?
Eventually, Sheree goes on a date with Terry, the TV producer. He buys her flowers and takes her to a painting studio. Oh this will not please her and he has a nice red wine that she will hate. Sheree asks about his last relationship. He does seem like he is still seeing her. Later, Terry takes her out to dinner. Their table seems to be in a parking lot. Sheree asks if he is still sleeping with his ex. This time I believe him when he says they haven’t spoken in six months. Terry seems put off by her questioning his honesty. He asks her if she is an honest person. I think he picked up on the fact that she expects him to be lying and that may be because she is a liar. I don’t think he will be interested in a second date. However, he did kiss her, so… you never know.
Patti calls Terry. Terry says that they had good conversation and after some pushing he says he will call her. Patti continues with the “no vacancies in Sheree’s house” analogies. She tells her that she was not supposed to discuss his ex and that she didn’t let him know if she was interested. She tells Sheree to go on one more date with Terry. I doubt she will because that will not be on camera.
In case you are interested the Tennis guy had a fabulous date with his choice. They really seemed to like each other.
In the follow-up comments, as I predicted, Sheree and Terry never spoke again. Sheree is still looking for love.
Tamara-
Cannot believe no comments on James Van Praagh! I used to watch his show, and read his book in the 90s. He was famous for talking to the dead and produced Ghost Whisperer based on his “experiences”. His Vulcan eyebrows looked so odd…and he was simply giving Sheree a psychic reading? Maybe they had to edit out everything the “dead” had to say about her!
I find him annoying. He was just the :40 mark blip.

By going on tv again, Sheree gives that many more men the chance to see her and her awful disposition. She continues to lessen her chances of finding someone who will think she is charming. Because clearly she is NOT.
Not particular fond of Patti but hearing Ms. Sheree was going to be on – had to watch to see if her attitude changed after her appearance on Iyanla’s show. Clearly nothing’s changed (if anything, she’s only gotten worse).
I felt bad for her date. Typically when a date doesn’t work out Patti will say “I’ll keep you in my database & fix you up with someone else”. I imagine Patti said this to all the guys – before Sheree made her choice.
She is a very unlikable person..tooo manly. I think she thinks she hot but she is sooo NOT!! Low self esteem..and very very phony!!!
Only proves that no matter how pretty your face is, if you are an insufferable, thirsty bitch, no good man will ever want you.
Thanks for the recap! I had to miss this one…was watching House of Lies. Sheree looked beautiful, hair + makeup was on point. I don’t think Sheree is in the lady pond, but bitterness is like a suit of armor , and it takes a lot of introspection and emotional healing. Not a fan of Iyanla @ all…her brand of folksy tough love is not what Sheree needs.
Lord I can’t stand this woman,she was so nasty on Rhoa she was horrible towards Nene. Sheree was the one who made me like Nene that first season, but now it seems Nene acts just like her. She put on so many airs on Rhoa and got really defensive when people saw through those charades!!!!
Sherree want Bob and she will never ever have him again. She needs to let go.
Sheree doing anything now to get a check, I hope one of the housewives buys Chateau Sheree!!!
BTW, I thought the name of the show is Millionaire Matchmaker. And aren’t you suppose to be a millionaire to hire Patti? Not someone looking for a millionaire. I know the people she finds to go out with the millionaires are not that rich. But aren’t the ones that hire Patti are? And we know Sheree is not. But no doubt she is looking for one.
Riley my thoughts as well!
Patti ran out of millionaires. She is now doing d list celebrities. Most of which are not millionaires. The AJC entertainment blogger did a short bit about her appearance making it clear she was not a millionaire. lol.

Sheree is unmatchable and you don’t have to be a psychic to see that. That smugness is very evident, even when she smiles. Phoney. You could tell by her interactions with those 3 men, that she has NOTHING to bring to the table in a relationship. She is an empty vessel.
“Millionaire Matchmakers” is now for Bravoloser-“ebrities.”
My favorite part was when Patti was screening men for Sheree. She asked them if their last girlfriend was older and if she was their sugar momma. Patti was subtlety hinting that although Sheree is playing a Millionaire on this tv show, she doesn’t have two nickels to rub together so the lucky chosen one will be her new source of income.
And TT, I was so happy to see you caught when Patti asked if there’s vacancy at Chateau Sheree that I did the Andy Cohen giant smile and head shake!
@kato711 –
The reason Patti was asking the guys that was to weed out the ones (male gold diggers) who were only looking for a women to support them – not the other way around. She was not “hinting” anything.
You think? Even in Tamara’s recap she noted many digs at Sheree’s brokenness and it was hilarious!
Wow you are a special kind of stupid.

I actually liked the episode, some people take what they see on tv to seriously. Sometimes it’s hard to make a solid connection especially on tv with cameras in your face,sheree has nothing to prove to any of you. Like it or love it you watched right? Patti tried it didn’t work so keep it moving.
No, Sheree doesn’t have to prove anything to us but she sure is trying to…
Yeah. I’m thinking you should keep moving. I have a history with Sheree. I’ve seen her angry lies up close and personal. She’s a hot mess. She was on another show where she was told she was angry and bitter. We discussed those fact.
You can keep moving. We live here.

Clearly Patti Stanger and her staff did not do their homework on Ms. Sheree’, if they had, they would have known that the best match for Ms. Sheree’ would have been a damn construction worker so he could finish building that faux Chateau Sheree’.
I read that Sheree’ is going to have a guest appearance of Rupaul’s Drag Race this season. I’m not sure if she will appear as a judge or another one of the drag queens.
“A construction worker”
LOLLLLLLL
Not crazy about Patti but I think she did her homework alright. Between the references to “Feng shui” / “any vacancies” / “she’s a slow cooker” / “old lady in the shoe” / any guys “looking for a sugar mamma need to leave” / “getting her pipes working” / & even having a contractor on the show (as if he could get Chateau Sheree moving along) — Patti was reading her up & down, left to right.
As others have mentioned, Patti may’ve chosen the wrong gender for the dates but Sheree may be waiting until the closets in the Chateau are finished before she comes out. ☺
All this talk about the hot mess that is Sheree, who openly hates her ex but for some reason keeps his last name (probably for the status) but can we all agree that the tennis player is the most adorable man ever to go on Matchmaker? Im not even finished and I know he’s going to call her after and keep in touch. He’s just so sweet! And she seems great for him too!
I think her kids were kind of young when she and Bob split. It’s not uncommon to keep the married name to cause less confusion and embarrasment for the kids.
Last night I was thinking I hope I don’t come off like Sheree does. I got divorced in ’97, right as my siblings kids began having grandbabies. They’ve never known me to be married, I haven’t dated at all (trust issues out the ass) and now closing in on 20 years am pretty set in my ways. Its generally just a running joke that it’s never going to happen. I hope I dont come off as bitter and desperate. I’m certainly not desperate. Just pondering.
No, it’s not uncommon to keep the last name for the kids but everything else she does in her life tells the kids that she hates their dad. I think she keeps it for herself.
As for you Barb, you don’t sound anything like Sheree so don’t give it a second thought 🙂
Barbinga: I always subscribed to the philosophy that it is better to be happy alone than to be miserable in a marriage. I found my prince late in life, but that doesn’t mean that we are problem-free or that he isn’t an ugly toad on occasion. My grandmother lived to 103 and got married shortly after her 100th birthday for the 5th time. She outlived them all. I am sure if you ever decide to partner with someone again someday, you can. You don’t have to ever re-marry! But honestly you have a life that many people would envy!
I had to back space what I wanted to say, but you nailed it anyway TT. Wrong pond…..and we all thought at the ‘gathering’ that thirsting and gold digging was the motive, but umm…seems their may be a preference. And allege my ass t I got RECEIPTS….seriously… it is hardly a secret in ATL…I mean it’s nothing bad let’s just say I m waiting on the invite for thediana ross coming out party because I I know the other person…..
Yeah. I don’t know why she doesn’t just come out with it…. I must say, it doesn’t seem to be making her any happier.

What??? Well the things we do for money! Maybe that’s why she won’t be nice to these men! It’s just for a paycheck!
He was kind of perfect. Is the one he picked the ballerina? I missed a bit of the show somehow

Sorry I just deleted it and all I remember is she was Italian, cooks and it was when they both said they do the Turkey Trot(?) with their families that they seemed perfect.
Yeah, I don’t think they showed either one of them giving their choice. Which leads me to believe that Sheree may have had more than one date trying to find a match.

Good Lord……..who in their right mind would EVER have an interest in that nasty thing named Sheree? She makes me want to turn around and RUN!
She always had a hateful attitude onRHOA. Appearantly nothing has changed that’s why she is single. She’s not a bad looking woman but no man wants to come home to that attitude everyday. The bitterness from Bob has consumed her. Ok you had a bad relationship join the club who hasn’t at some point keep it movin
On the other hand…….Sam Querry (sp?) was so adorable with his date!
Dang, I forgot about this…have to on demand it. When she was on iyanla I kept waiting for her to let bob have it since Sherree always spoke I’ll of him but he flipped the script leaving iyanla agreeing with him. She lies.
Hi Sheree ~ yes, you act vengeful. And yes, the Chateau is for you, not your offspring.
I wonder why one person is able to move ahead after a divorce and others like Sheree and Brandi become stuck in anger and bitterness.
I think it is because they are angry and bitter before the marriage. Brandi for example is very insecure and competitive. She maybe felt like she “won” Eddie from all the other hot girls and looked past the fact that he is a cheater, instead of looking for inner qualities such as being treated with respect. Then he chooses someone else, (or a lot of someone else’s), and she becomes pissed that she lost the competition. Her marriage is a constant reminder of her losing, enhancing her bitter angry self.
Sheree has always looked and acted like she has the world’s biggest chip on her shoulder. Single middle aged men usually aren’t looking for a cold, angry 50 something year old women with calves as big as their thighs.
I have thought that since I first laid eyes on her.
Me too. I’m sure that’s what’s going on here.
How wise of Patti to claim that Sheree wants an “elegant Kobe Bryant” type man….no shit, don’t we all? I don’t really like Patti. She is a match maker yet she’s never been married. Has anybody heard the saying “never trust a skinny chef”?
Van Praagh seems to throws out a bunch of rapid fire sentences until he gets a hit and then stretches that out to look like he got information from the other side. I think he may be sincere but misguided.
I will never forget Sylvia Brown who famously told parents their child was dead and the kid was alive. There is a blooper reel about her on youtube which is hilarious.
TT,
Kudos to you for watching this train wreck. I just can’t even look at her.
Patti had Sheree choose a crystal, hold it tight, recite some words & her bad feelings would go into the crystal. I feel really bad for whoever bought the crystal full of Sheree’s bad feelings. Shudder.
I must’ve missed that part. Oh, that poor soul that purchases that crystal! Hopefully the owner poured acid over it &/or smashed it to smithereens then buried it in a deep, DEEP hole. That crystal should never again see the light of day.☺
Maybe Patti should’ve found or tried to find Sheree a woman being she can’t get a man just saying..
I saw Miss Lawrence on something just a few weeks ago, and he said that Chateau Sheree was finished.
Was it Watch What Happens Live when Andy asked if there has been any progress on Chateau Sheree and Miss Lawrence answered “ummm (eyes look up at ceiling and everywhere but Andy’s face) I think it’s done. Yeah I think it’s done”
From that you heard that Sheree’s home is completely finished?
He lied.
