Age of Love: "Kittens" vs. "Cougars" *NO SPOILERS, PLEASE!!!*

[BlondieGal]

cafegirl i know exactly who the other final woman is....all i will say is i was SHOCKED by mark's choice! Its a little bit of a bummer to already know the final 2, but i still look forward to seing how Mark came to that decision and who he picks in the end.

I got some good goss on his trip to melbourne with the 2 ladies, but i will bite my tongue... i think i will fit in here quite well, sleuthing is my forte.

roseskid don't worry, snark comments about mark wont bother me... i will probably join in!

Wow! We need that spoiler thread. Will you let us know who the F2 women are in the spoiler section, flip fan? It will be fun to watch to see how he goes from point A to point B with his decisions on the F2.

Cafegirl is right on on how everything, and I mean everything, is staged in these reality dating shows. You would be surprised.

Ah, "goss" is gossip!

flip_fan. I believe you'll find this is a comfy place to hang out, and we do indeed have the most fabulous sleuthers as you can tell. As a writer, however, I would like to warn you we can get a little (okay maybe "little" is an understatement) snarky, so please try not to take offense on Mark's behalf.

I second Blondie's statement on looking forward to having you as our personal tour guide through the Age of Love halls.

Whaddaya mean "a little snarky"? I never heard of that requirement...

Welcome flip-fan! Please continue to spill the beans about Mark. I'm fervently hoping he has a healthy vocabulary and there's nothing robotic about him. After this last Bachelor, I think I could like pretty much anybody (oh, okay I'm lying there big time) and Mark so far gets a pass from me, purely based on his looks.

Rosekid, I'll gladly spill and post the picture when we can talk Jewelsy into starting a forum with a spoiler thread!! ( Just kidding Jewels.. you know I luv ya! )

It doesn't have anything to do with 'talking me into it', 'cause you know my sole purpose in life is to please the sleuthers, right?

But seriously, until the official site comes out with more information, we can't set up its own forum and until the forum is set up, this thread will have to do - which means NO spoilers (and I went to the top and asked). Sorry.

Sheesh, you guys, I can't believe you're ready to do it again. Oy.

[BlondieGal]

Sheesh, you guys, I can't believe you're ready to do it again. Oy.

Thank you Jewelsy for going to bat for us. You are the best!

I am ready to move on to the next bach story.

[sueb1961]

I am kinda looking forward to this show. Something to fill the time until the next bachlor.

Great job getting information on this already. You guys are good.

Meet the 'Age of Love' Contestants
Women from 21 to 48 compete on dating show
June 4, 2007

Some have been married before, some haven't. Some have kids, some don't. And they range in age from 21 to 48, which is really the point.

They are the 13 women taking part in NBC's summer series "Age of Love," which will feature them all chasing reality-TV stardom and former top-10 tennis pro Mark Philippoussis. The show, hosted by "All My Children" star Mark Consuelos, is scheduled to premiere Monday, June 18.

The show's hook is that the women will be divided into two groups -- the "Kittens," who are all between 21 and 27 years old, and the "Cougars," who are between 38 and 48. Neither group is aware of the other at first, and Philippoussis is also in the dark about the concept, knowing only that he's appearing on a dating show.

Among the contestants are a college student, a photographer, a medical technician, a vice president of a real-estate company and the executive assistant to Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss. Five of the "Cougars" have been married before, and two have kids.

Thanks, flip_fan! Here's the direct link.

Now y'all need to find some photos.

[cafegirl]

Wow, flip_fan, you are a great sleuth!!! Thanks for the link w/ the girl's names and occupations. I wonder how Mark feels about dating a divorced woman, especially the ones w/ kids. The one "cougar" has a son older than Mark's former fiance!
Has NBC posted pictures yet?? I'm off to look!!! Thanks again.! Do we need pictures before this gets its own forum, Jewelsy?

[Arielflies]

A Tessa from Illinois? Sorry Bach 11 sleuthing reference. LOL!

The majority of the "cougars" are from California while the "kittens" are spread out. Really - two of them are twice divorced??? A whole lot of baggage there, I would think. Once divorced is living in today's world, but you have to wonder why the doubles would be trolling for a man on a dating show. Boggles the mind - this show does. Can't wait to see how it all plays out.

[sueb1961]

Oh no, not another Tessa.

Good job on all your finds everyone. Just 2 more weeks and we can somewhat satisfy our bachlor obsession.
