It only seems like yesterday since TV Land premiered its reality show The Cougar, featuring 40-year-old real estate agent Stacey, seeking a 20-something-year-old true love. Just like similar shows of this type, the vintage bachelorette had a huge selection of young cuties to choose from- 20 at the start, each week eliminating "candidates"until she got down to the final two.
When the finale aired this past Wednesday, Stacey was left with Colt, the cocky musician who charmed her with his serenades and Jimmy, the demonstrative romantic. She introduced them to her kids on the last episode, to get their opinions before making her decision. although, I personally didn't think her kids added any special enlightenment to who was the best man for her.
In the end, she turned down Colt, who left, teary-eyed, in a limo and, after informing the Jimster that he was the victor, he got down on one knee and proposed to Stacey.
She accepted.
Seems like a nice ending, but you have to wonder if 23-year-old Jimmy feel the same, once he catches a glimpse of her when studio makeup artists aren't around to glamorize her and that pre-menopausal irritability starts to kick in.
Oh, well, he can always stay around to enjoy the special discounts on restaurants, hotels and car rentals his fiancee will be eligible for when she qualifies for an AARP card in just a couple of years or so!
