Reality TV - Age of Love (premieres June 18th on NBC)

Quote:

It's often said that love is blind... but is that really true? If given the chance to choose a woman in her 20s, or a 40-something on the prowl, will a man go for youth or maturity? More than just a dating competition, "Age of Love" is a social experiment based on the question: When it comes to falling in love, does age really matter?

Hosted by popular actor Mark Consuelos (“All My Children”), the eight episode series from 3 Ball Productions (NBC’s “The Biggest Loser”) features a new twist on the reality dating show format.

Tune in when seven beautiful, sophisticated women in their 40's, playfully nicknamed the "Cougars," vie for the affections of 30-year-old Australian tennis superstar Mark Philippoussis, along with six fun, enthusiastic women in their 20's, coined the "Kittens."

But only one woman can win Mark's heart. Is she an attractive, experienced woman who knows what she wants and has already carved out a niche of her own? Or, is she a sexy younger woman who lacks the experience of her older counterpart, but has an enthusiasm for life that only comes with the inexperience of youth? In the end, both Mark and the viewers will discover if love is truly ageless.

CREDITS:

“Age of Love” is produced by 3 Ball Productions. JD Roth (“The Biggest Loser,” “Beauty and the Geek”), Todd A. Nelson (“The Biggest Loser,” “Beauty and the Geek”), Adam Greener (“Unan1mous”) and Craig Armstrong (“Survivor,” “Super Nanny”) are executive producers.

Am I only one who watched this tonight? Lol. I really liked the older women. They don't look like their age at all. That one whose 48, I would have never thought she was that old! She's gorgeous. I knew that I had heard of this dude before. He's pretty hot and I like him so far. Not too sure about Mark Consuelos as the host though. The Bachelor host (I can't remember his name right now) is much better.

I wish the bachelor was Andy Roddick. Now, that would be some eye candy. Lol. Not that this guy isn't, but still.....

I kind of wish they had never introduced the 20 year olds. For the dramatics of it all i hope he ends with one of those that is over 40. lol

Lol. Yeah, this will be one of my summer guilty pleasures as well, blondiebubbles. I always get into the dating shows too.

I really hope that he ends up with the older women. Didn't he say in the previews that he missed the older women?

**blonde bombshell** · 06-20-2007, 07:05 PM

i don't know whether i'd rather have him choose a 20 or a 40.
honestly i cannot imagine, as a woman, marrying a guy who was 10-18 years younger than me. It just seems weird.

I checked it out this week. Will definitely be a guilty pleasure.

**Dorkodancer147** · 06-21-2007, 12:20 AM

Haha. I totally watched.

I still cant believe I watched this but I liked it.

I really like him with the older women for sure! Theres a dark girl that I really like. I dont know her name yet, but shes really cute for her age and she seems to have a connection with him. I think its gonna come down to her and one of the younger girls.

The guy is pretty cute, but he didnt seem very happy to have all older women. he says he doesnt care now, but im not really buying it.

**blonde bombshell** · 06-21-2007, 12:39 PM

haha yeah, he was so not pleasantly surprised when the woman came out and they were all in their 40s. the expression on his face was a dead giveaway..

**Dorkodancer147** · 06-21-2007, 10:31 PM

Hahaha. Yeah, he looked pissed.

**blonde bombshell** · 06-21-2007, 10:44 PM

lol definitely.

**blonde bombshell** · 06-21-2007, 10:46 PM

oooooh and how funny was it when they showed Mark Consuelos standing face to face with Mark Phillopoussis. lmao. Mark Phillopoussis is like 6'5'' and Mark Consuelos is like wayyyy shorter. it made him look like a littler person. I just started laughing.

cutiepie33 · 06-25-2007, 04:58 PM

^^Haha, yeah I thought the exact same thing. I totally forgot about it being on tonight. Whew, glad I remembered before I missed it!

I missed the show last week so im glad they are showing an encore tonight then a new episode.

Im actually watching right now. Awww Lynne is really cute. I like her and Jayanna I think is her name! lol

Ok wow...all I can say is the girls in they're 20's are cocky...lol

**Dorkodancer147** · 06-25-2007, 11:05 PM

I remembered it was on, cuz there is nothing else on mondays! LOL.

I like the older women a lot better than the young girls. They seem muh more humble and outgoing. THe young girls come off really stupid.

But of the young girls I do like megan. She seems like a cute girl.
