SRC: Age of Love, Season Finale

This is it, y'all. I'm on Team Jen all the way. We get a quick recapping of the season and some of these ladies I completely forgot about. I've become rather fond of the opening credits/theme song. Makes me wanna dance. I'll miss it dearly.

They start us at the end -- how creative. We hear Mark say he's decided, we see the women each walk toward him, we hear him break up with one of them -- we can only see the back of her head. We then see a "My Days with Amanda" montage...subtitle: "Psycho and me". Then we see the Jen montage, aka "how can you NOT choose Jen" clips. Is anyone really on Team Amanda? (Spoiler alert: apparently yes)

The three go to the parents house. Jen wisely has gotten a gift for Mark's mama. Amanda shit talks that jen is just playing the game and being a brat by not telling amanda that she got a gift so amanda wouldn't copy her (which is perfectly okay). she then whines about how she feels stupid for not getting a gift. Hate. Everyone is stunned at finding out jen's age, but in a good way. compliments all around. mark's sis says in an interview that age doesn't matter. yes! jen steals the convo while amanda just sits there like a dud. we learn a fun fact about amanda: she doesn't know how to make a salad. seriously? jen is clearly winning with the family. amanda is stupid and so greasy. Jen gets the first one on one date and guess what? amanda complains. we hear the family's thoughts...Basically, the whole family liked jen better but the mom liked amanda better. mark's friend perceptively says that's probably just because she wants grandkids.

Jen's date - gondola ride on the river. amanda, cloaked in black and murderous thoughts, talks about her jealousy. in case you hadn't heard, she's way jealous when anyone but her is with mark. i think she's probably jealous of herself when she's with mark. after the ride, and after jen secretly tells mark her orgasm record (i'm curious), they go for a meal and spooning at the aquarium.

amanda's date - conservation park. ugh. everything amanda says and does grates my nerves. she gets to pet a koala and i hate her more because of it. amanda is jealous of jen's date whilst on her own date. set them crazy eyes on focus, girl. they go to dinner at a japanese restaurant. i hope they washed their hands.

umm -- hold up here. amanda actually says this: "there is another woman in the picture and there is a slight chance that he's feeling things with her too." UGH! amanda - we're down to two women here. it's more than a slight chance, it's a definite thing. you have not been the only girl here! grr. here's the difference between jen and amanda (aside from 23 years) - jen says she could fall in love with mark, amanda says she is in love with mark. idiot.

jen and amanda have a heart to heart holding hands. maybe they'll end up together. jen is such a classy lady and amanda is such a mess.

decision time: they make this really suspenseful. i'm a little nervous myself. mark chooses amanda. that cocksucker. i'm so over this show. i hope amanda drives mark crazy with her psycho jealousy.

That's all for Summer Reality Corner for the time being! thanks for reading.

SRC: Age of Love, ep 6

Man, it feels like its been so long since i've hung out with these bitches. i missed them. also, do you think jayanna, age 39, hates being grouped as a 40-something?

We come in on the ladies calling Maria out for backing out of her promise of leaving a second time, which i think is fair for them to do. i think maria probably suspected she'd be getting the boot both times that promise was made, and was just saying that to save face in case she was the one eliminated. then, jayanna talks about how silly it is to be 'in love' with mark so quickly (Amanda) and how nobody should be naive enough to think they are the only 'special' ones there.

They all go camping together and i guess they're going to ditch someone in the woods because we are told one lady isn't coming back. At the campsite, Maria and Jen each make out with Mark. then, they all get wasted and play truth or dare. haha, Jayanna totally hates maria now. they all think she's cheesy and laugh in her face, which i would've done if i were there because she created a very awkward situation out of a simple truth or dare question. then maria turns into 'that girl' and starts drunkenly crying about feminism or something. she picks a fight with jen and jen is all 'fuck that noise'. then jayanna picks a fight with the youngies. whoda thunk the youngies would come off as more mature here. mark makes jen apologize to maria, and jen, showing how awesome she, apologizes...even though she wasn't laughing at women, as maria accused her of, she was laughing at maria for being a cheeseball.

Mark takes jayanna on a special walk after his walk with megan. while they are gone, amanda talks with maria (when did she become the youngies' mentor?) about how she's realizing that maybe she isn't as special in this pack of ladies as she thought she was. i'm nervous that her crazy fever is on the verge of breaking..in a violent way. mark's walk with jayanna is xtra special because there are lights and a hammock. it's funny how wasted they all are.

meanwhile, back at camp, amanda is a psychopath. she decides to go find mark and jayanna & break up their special time because she's nuts. amanda doesn't find them, so, because she's nuts, decides to wait for mark in his tent so they can have some alone time. i think she might rape him. jayanna makes a play for booty and gets shot down. surprisingly, and maybe for fear of his life, mark does not toss amanda out on her ass when he finds her waiting. amanda tells mark that jayanna's been putting 'he says that to all the girls' ideas in her head. he, of course, being a man dating multiple women, says it's not true. even though we've seen that it is.

i'm totally rooting for jen or megan. they're the only ones that don't piss me off and aren't acting like crazy girls. jen is first safe. amanda next, followed by maria. it's down to megan and jayanna. megan because she admitted that she doesn't know how she feels about mark and jayanna for putting truths in amanda's head. oh shit! jayanna gets the boot! that's what she gets for being so confident. shit. mark is pissed at her! and it's because stupid fucking crazy amanda whined to mark about it. he's so mad! they don't even kiss goodbye. jayanna honorably shares her side, says amanda twisted her words, and then gets left alone at the campsite.

SRC: Age of Love, ep 5

Mary cry count this episode: 9. for real.

Mark has to choose 3 of the 6 remaining women to go with him to the beach. he decides on megan, mary, and maria. when megan announces that they are to bring their bathing suits, you can hear mary get exasperated and maybe start to cry. i did not count that in the cry counter. amanda is all psychotic about how she wasn't chosen and crazily cleans the house to avoid getting sucked into her craziness.

megan gets chosen to take a walk with mark. mary, quite annoyingly, intrudes on their walk and is rightly treated like a third wheel. for the second time (that we've seen), he cuts her off midsentence by noticing something in the distance and walking towards it. When they return to the apartment, amanda tries to kill megan with eye rays when she finds out that they had special time. next, jayanna and amanda share a date with mark and the three of them see a movie together. he takes jayanna outside for a drink, and while they're gone, amanda eyes the hanging drapery to see which she can most effectively use to strangle jayanna during the flick. amanda has special time with mark after the movie and its like this: crazy crazy psycho crazy LOVE blink blink drool.

Jen feels neglected until she gets her own motorcycle date with mark. woah. mary is about to lose it. the oldies are such good sports about sharing and the youngies are such jealous brats. don't they know what they signed on for here?! at the top of mulholland drive, jen unleashes her secret weapon once more and makes out with mark. woo woo! Oh god. mary is psychotic. she cries to the other 20's about how mark doesn't seem interested and sister, there could not be a worse crowd for you to complain to here. after the bike ride, jen and mark go to play pool. she whips his ass and makes out with him again. damn, girl! when jen gets home, she tells the 20's of her day. she's totally braggin to them and it's kind of awesome how she does it. you sly cougar you. i think amanda has a box of pencils under her blanket that she's snapping in two one by one.

mark only has to send one girl home tonight and my money's on mary. maria again threatens to walk. we'll see if she pulls through this time.

jen, megan, jayanna and amanda all are asked to stay. amanda nearly had a coronary when she wasn't called right away. i think she might have made a mistake by basically telling mark how in love/obsessed with him she is.

it's down to mary and maria and while maria prepares herself to back out, she gives mary a pep talk about loving herself. then it seems like they might make out, the two of them. maria even puts her hand on mary's bosom. woo woo. things are kind of awkward for everyone else while they wait for all of this to happen. maria is called up first. again, she is honest with him, but still mark asks her to stay and maria doesn't know what to do. there's a lot of weird cackling from maria, poor mary awkwardly stands there, maria decides to stay. and after all that, mary finally gets the boot. maria's talk must've done something for mary, because she makes it through her whole speech to mark without crying. then she cries all over amanda once it's done.

SRC: Age of Love, ep 4

I wish one lady from each group weren't knocked off each week -- it really doesn't make it a battle of the ages, as it's been an even playing field so far.

We are down to Kelly (40), Maria (42), Jayanna (39--Wait a second...), Jen - 48 and Mary (24), Amanda (25), Tessa (23), and Megan (21). This week, the kittens and cougars move in together.

Mary cries again. What a fucking shocker. We start off with a triathlon between the youngies and the oldies, where the finish line is Mark in a yacht. First three to reach him get to hang with Mark and have yacht sex. Oh, cute! They start off on bicycles built for two ^_^ These bitches are weak! They have to jog after the bike ride and this is where they all crap out. The old ladies cramp up, the youngies twist ankles and shit. Tessa gets an ambulance for her injury and is DQ'd. and i don't mean dairy queen'd. Jayanna wins, followed by Amanda, with Kelli coming in 3rd. Mary CRIES ABOUT IT!! UGH! Jen doesn't even bother with the paddling. Well..she is 48. at least she wasn't the one in the woo woo bus.

Amanda is head over heels for Mark and I think she might kill the other contestants in a jealous rage. Next, they all go play tennis. Tessa, the Jennie Garth-looking gimp winces through her pain to participate. The 40's win both games, but tessa wins an individual date with mark for her efforts.

Jayanna disses the youngies and would you believe it, Mary CRIES!! A short while later, to the surprise of everyone, Mary cries. On Tessa's individual date with Mark, she talks about how much Amanda likes him. Woops.

Mark gets final one on one time with everyone before elimination. Tess is first, and she explains why she made that bad move, but i'm still unclear. and so is mark (spoiler alert). Jayanna is next, she wisely uses her five minutes to make the hell out with mark. Maria busts him for kissing everyone. Then kisses him. Amanda the cuckoo bird slowly sheaths her knife whilst glaring at her competition. Then cries to Mark and, in my opinion, puts her lead position in jeopardy by showing her insecurities. She tells Mark that when he kissed her, she thought of him kissing Kelli. Mark kind of awesomely replies, "when?" (as in..which of the thousands of times that i've kissed kelli could you be referring to?). Megan something somethings. Mary doesn't cry. o_o Jen asks Mark to kiss her and knocks his socks off. Secret weapon.

Eliminations. Mark dumps Tessa. She shot herself in the foot. Hopefully not the same one with the sprained ankle, because it would be hilarious watching her try to walk. He dumps Kelli of the oldies. Inexplicably. I think it was gonna be Jen until that kiss of hers. Or maybe amanda threated to cut off his peen if he didn't cut kelli loose.

don't forget to watch tomorrow's ep! unfortunately, it doesn't seem that they'll be rerunning last week's ep tomorrow, but you can always catch them online!

SRC: Age of Love, ep 3

I really think the editors of this show want us to hate the 20's. And if that's true, they should get a raise, because my tolerance for those bitches is running really low. The producers trick Kelli (40's) and Amanda (25) into thinking that they have one on one dates with Mark, when really the two have 60 minutes to share a date. whoever mark is with at the end, gets to spend dessert with him. Ps, Amanda is the one I think is totally hid. Mark loves her smile, I think she's all smile. and it ain't pretty.

In the meantime, the 20's have to make a group date for the 40's and vice versa.

oh SNAP!! mark totally wanted dessert with Amanda, but Kelli strategically talked until the timer ran out and Mark so politely didn't want to interrupt, so he was stuck with Old Kelli. Those 40's are so clever.

The group date for the youngies is a kids birthday party. Mark totally disses the one i hate (24 - Mary)..as in he walks away from her while she's in the middle of a sentence. hahaha. take that crybaby. Mark chooses adelaide (26) to spend more time with.

The oldies group date is a senior citizens waterobics class. And the youngies may have messed up here, because these ladies don't look bad in bathing suits. Mark chooses maria to hang with, but she ain't feeling it.

Elimination- Maria says that she's planning on leaving tonight because she doesn't feel the connection and she doesn't want to waste anyone's time. I respect that she's actually looking for love and not just to win.

SHOCKER!! - Mark dumps Adelaide!!! Based on a bad kiss. that's all it takes sometimes. Damn. It was between her and my archnemesis Mary too. That means mary is staying. boo.

Maria decides not to leave after all when she hears mark wants her to stay. she does, however, tell mark she was planning on leaving and what he needs to do for her to want to stay. still respectable i think. poor lynn gets dumped for being shy.

Next ep: the broads move in together. Shit's going down!!

Also, I think it's interesting that the youngies are fiercely competitive with and jealous of each other (in addition to the oldies), while the oldies are pretty supportive of their group and view their enemies as the youngies.

a message from sara

hello. i'm sara. you may know me from such things as this blog, or, life. i wanted to explain my recent absence - as becca mentioned, i was in the middle of a move. and because i was moving from a tiny room where all the furniture i had to my name was two bookshelves and a desk into an entire apartment with rooms like a kitchen and a living room, i had to buy furniture and stuff to keep me occupied. and then i had to put it all together. all the while, i had my mother in tow. so, i didn't want to be rude and watch reality shows and post about them whilst my mom twiddled her thumbs. oh also, i just got the cablez and the internetz back last friday. so i have a lot of catching up to do... three eps of Hey Paula and two of Age of Love -- i'll do my best to give them their proper due in a timely manner.

the most exciting thing you guys have missed in my life is that i gave an old lady the finger. it was quite a rush.

SRC: Age of Love eps 1 & 2

When I learned that the tv gods would be replaying the premiere of this show, i figured they were giving me a second chance to witness possible genius. To any of those unfamiliar -- famous australian 30 year-old tennis player is the gent in a bachelor-style dating show. What he hasn't been told is that some of the crop will be women in their 40's. What the 40's haven't been told is that their competition will be women in their 20's.

before our man mark meets the 40's, we hear in an interview that not only is he expecting beautiful 20's girls, but also that his last girlfriend was 10 years younger than him. hmm..how might this end up?

They bring the ladies out one by one to meet mark. the first tells him what year she was born and how old that makes her and his face drops. i also think he mouths the word 'fuck' when she turns her back. the second lady comes out and when her back is turned he has this look on his face that screams 'what the hell did i get myself into.' a couple more come out and his face drops each time they say their ages. mark looks like he's gonna be sick all over their saggy asses. after the fifth old lady comes out, mark interviews that 'once the fifth one came out, he realized they would all be older than him.' this guy is as smart as a whip. the 40's are actually looking great for their age, but a couple of them scream of desperation and it's a little sad. after mark gets over the initial shock, he seems like he could get into dating an older lady, and becomes a sport about it. he chooses three oldies for a date and...interestingly enough -- all brunettes! go team! their date involves rapelling down a building. i know that's what i would want for a first group date. especially if we were all planning a heist together.

the Helicopter of Evil 20 year olds arrives and let me tell you a thing or two about them. first off, a few of the 40's look much better than these bitches. i'm even confusing some of the 20's with older women. one of the 20's (24) is all 'when i walk down the street, guys think i'm hot' interesting, that wouldn't have been my first thought. there's another one that's all 'i hope i'm not still dating when i'm in my 40's! that would be sad!' and i think to tell her that she probably will be because she's totally hid.

So blah blah, stuff happens and the 40's still think they are alone. It comes time for elimination and Mark chooses four of the seven to take to elimination. 46 gets eliminated (i don't really know their names yet, so i will refer to them by ages). the last thing we get to see at the end of the first episode is the youngies revealed to mark in a cheesy tableau.

The next ep has mark dating the 20's unbeknownst to the 40's. And actually, the 20's are kind of dull. here is my initial breakdown: 27 - boring, 26 - probs the best of the bunch, 25 - aforementioned hid, 24 - i HATE this girl. she cried all episode. 23 - mark had a hard time not looking at her boobs. she looks real old. 21 - alright so far. mark confessionalizes that, whilst on a date with the 20's, he misses the 40's. yes!! after a couple more group dates, we get to elimination. the 40's are lined up and waiting when they are finally told that they have competition. the youngies are brought out and line up with the other women. mark has to eliminate one 40 and one 20. first he eliminates 27. good riddance. though i do wish 24 would have gone. then it comes down to one of two 40's (40 being their actual age...i think there's only two) and the 48. we all think it's gonna be the 48 because he got all freaked out when he found out she has a 25 year old son, but it's actually the 40 year old. interesting - he eliminated the youngest of the oldies and the oldest of the youngies. very interesting. the only thing i remember about eliminated40 is that she said something like 'with me you get the best of both worlds! the brains and experience of an older woman, and the looks of a younger woman' and yeah, she maybe looked like she could pass for 30's, but she was nothing special in the looks department. okaayyyyy?

so in short...or long rather... the 20's are made out to look like complete idiots, the 40's are made out to look like that mom that tries to be cool, and the host is made out to look about three feet shorter than mark. hopefully, some of you guys will catch on to this show and we can enjoy it together. if not, i will definitely make these recaps shorter.

congrats if you made it all the way through!
