There were some broken hearts in Argentina! Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher sent home Alex (after an underwhelming day of horseplay) and James Taylor, right after she admitted to a special connection with the latter.

As part of the season 12 Bachelorette panel, Million Dollar Matchmaker‘s Patti Stanger sat down with Us Weekly Video correspondent Christina Garibaldi and Us Weekly assistant editor Jamie Blynn to discuss some of the biggest surprises from the ABC dating series’ current season. She also shared her tips for the remaining Bachelorette suitors and all the singles out there.

Due to Fletcher’s inability to hide her attraction or lack thereof to Alex, Bachelorette viewers knew that she and the marine weren’t on the same page after their kiss.

In the video above, the matchmaker talked about the importance of a smooch and how it should be handled: “Take her hair, throw her against the wall and give her a big one! What is the problem? You’re a man. Go in there and grab your wench.”

Stanger, 55, didn’t hold back when talking about Fletcher’s approach: “I think she’s moving quickly. She’s in heat.” The outspoken matchmaker added, “She’s determined, but what happens if he’s not there? She’s always looking for the fly in the ointment.”

She also shared some of her tips for all of the single ladies. And one of her main pieces of advice? “Those who travel in packs don’t attract.”

Stanger’s top three dating red flags or dating do nots: Don’t talk about your exes, don’t be a sloppy drunk and make sure to say please and thank you.
