Ally Shapiro is the 22 year old (gorgeous) daughter of Housewives star Jill Zarin. She currently lives in NYC with her parents but is ready to "cut the cord". Naturally Jill is way to into this, but since she and Patti summer in the Hamptons together she's willing to try. She would like a nice Jew for her daughter, but Patti would rather Ally not use the "resume" and use the "coochie" instead. Ally feels like no one understands her because of her unique upbringing (on reality tv). Mom tells her "marry someone you wouldn't mind being divorced from".... ummmm.... ok.
Before Ally meets anyone Patti sets her up with Kristin Cavallari as an "older sis" type who understands what it's like growing up on television. Her advice is to "act like she owns it". Patti adds, don't worry if they like you, worry about if you like them.
Patti and Jill interview the men while Ally watches from afar. With too much emphasis on the Jewish part, Ally narrows it down to a screenwriter and an Aussie, but ultimately the screenwriter is picked. They enjoy a date at the zoo around all the animals with drinks after. All went smoothly and they even hung out the day after. James says he went in for a kiss but she moved away. Ally agrees that it was a great match and agrees to let him kiss him next time.
Prince Ferdinand Von Anhalt is a 30 year old German who can't find real love because of his royalty. His father was adopted into the royal family and later married Zsa Zsa Gabor, but he's not looking for a "sugar mommy". Ferdinand claims his days are filled with champagne and business deals. Patti wants to transform him from "Madeline from Berlin" to "Max from Jersey". His last relationship was 3 years ago and his celebrity crush is Coco, as in Ice T's wife. So he's not looking for a girl next door.
Patti interviews the girls and picks four very blond, very Coco-esque girls, but doesn't tell them he's royal. Ferdinand ultimately chooses surfer girl Emily and takes her to the beach. His version of "manly" is pink speedo's and yachts. Emily seems to appease him but may not be into him the way he is hoping. And the fact that she is unimpressed when he reveals he is a Prince seems underwhelming for Ferdinand. Emily tells Patti she would only see him again if he looked more rugged. Ferdinand didn't call Emily again.
