We love us some reality TV and this summer NBC is delivering a new dating show called Age of Love starring Australian tennis player, Mark Philippoussis. The 30 year old pro will be dating one set of women in their 20s and another set in their 40s so we can learn if age really matters in this game of love.
Mark has dated the likes of Paris Hilton and Australian singer Delta Goodrem, but this time the superstar is looking for love and leaving it up to NBC to help him find the woman of his dreams. Oh and did I mention the show's host is Mark Consuelos?!! You know, Kelly Ripa's beautiful and sweet husband. That's reason enough to tune in. A special thanks to NBC for sponsoring this post. Check out the premiere tonight at 9pm on NBC.

OMG! i love this guy!!! i used to have a crush on him when i played tennis!!! omg, too exciting.
1Can these dating "reality" shows get any more ridiculous?
2i thought Mark was dating that 18-year-old heiress and actress-wanna-be. i can't remember her name but they were engaged to be married. what the heck happened?
3Me too woodycakes. Both him and Jan-Michael Gambill. lol.
4I think I'll skip it.
5This show looks so incredibly boring. I can't imagine how it's going to be successful.
6I will watch this.
7Who is this guy?
This looks interesting but I can predict the drama already: The 40 yr olds have ton of baggage and the 20 yr olds are really immature.
8none of those couples stay together.
9No way, I am totally watching this one!
10by the time I read Paris Hilton, that was it for me. Everything that has been touched by Paris Hilton needs some serious disinfectant
11Umm yeah this should be ....interesting a has been quasi-tennis star and some desperate ladies and NBC is hoping for a reversal of fortune in ratings, clearly not with stupid reality show.
12Would have watched it if it wasn't the same banality that is "reality-tv" dating shows. WHERE IS THE COLOR!!!!...BORING!!!
13just go play tennis! what is this guy doing? trying to boost his fanbase? yeah, i'm not buying it b/c we all know reality shows are semi-scripted and edited for more effect anyway, so this guy's final choice might not even be his own.
14oooh tiabia you know the only colour you gonna see in a reality dating show is those crazya** ghetthoes on Flava of Love. The closest you ever get to it on these shows is pretty latinas and maybe an asian to cover the"diversity" out there.
15he's gay
16@ tennischick: yeah, he was dating Alexa something-or-other, but I think they broke up sometime last year (well, obviously)...
Let me get this straight, NBC's formula for rating success = douchey tennis "star" + desperate famewh*res. No wonder the network has terrible ratings.
17The Bachelor got old a long time ago, and this is no different. This dude seems like a publicity wh*re. Why else would he date Paris and do a reality love show? Puh-leeze.
18Ah, new starlet rising!
19Oh, i may have to watch!
20Trista and Ryan are still together... there is hope!
21I'll probably watch this even though the couple will break up 2 weeks after the finale lol.
22i agree with trudy & nyara...blah! i don't think i'll be watching this unless I am REALLY BORED! Yea definitely a spin off the Bachelor..doesn't really matter anymore..
23I find shows like this to be so offensive....have no interest in watching. It's all about these poor pathetic woman catfighting for the love/attention of ONE man. I just find it degrading. It is the year 2007, woman can go after whatever they want.
24blech reality tv
25Awful! Such a reality would be boring. Will they use mud fights? Yawn. Go play tennis or wait for Paris' release.
26I know nyar!!! While I unfortunately do find Flavor of Love and I Love New York entertaining...they are far from showing the reality of people of color..a la, class and education...LOL
27of course age matters...especially if you want kids..if not...well then maybe it wouldn't...
28maybe if he wanted love he shouldn't have cheated on delta (while she was recovering from cancer) with that deposit box Paris.
29as a tennis fan who remembers Mark's potential, i am deeply disappointed. however he did memorably mess up his ankles a few years ago at Wimbledon and was never the same after that. so i guess you gotta do what you gotta do to pay them bills!
30that couple from outback jack also made it.. they are now married with a child on the way

31If a guy cheats on Delta with Paris, can he really say he's "looking for love"?
32he is so going to go for a 20-something year old!
33i called it!
i'm 40 my man 24 i think he will pick the older woman were seasoned mmmmmmmmmm....
34I want to watch this. I love dating shows like this.
35No interest. Plus he looks like "The Hoff"- ew.
36cannot WAIT for this to start! they shouldve gotten a dude a little older, i mean who will want to get married and have babies with a 40 year old vs a 20?
37hes hot
38Nya and T, I agree with you BUT you know the people of color with class WON'T be on a show like this. There is this misconception that because you are white or something you have it. sh*t, look at Paris! But really, they can't really put a black "cougar" woman on there because she will most likely look like a "kitten". Darker skin ages a LOT more slowly than fair skin.
There is nothing more cringeworthy than watching shows like this where women throw themselves at a man on national television and get into cat fights. This one will be interesting because of the age difference. But like most TV, you won't find me watching this except maybe catch a minute here or there of the last few episodes.
39he needs a serious hair cut. other than that, he's kinda cute.
40"i'm 40 my man 24 i think he will pick the older woman were seasoned mmmmmmmmmm...."
These days 40 isn't even middleaged. Seasoned sounds more like 65+ or something. 20 vs 40 is like both ends of the young spectrum, in the big picture.
41"cannot WAIT for this to start! they shouldve gotten a dude a little older, i mean who will want to get married and have babies with a 40 year old vs a 20?"
Guys like Ashton Kutcher ?
42totally going to skip this.
43Exciting!
44haha this is the type of trashy tv i get sucked into while all the other good shows are on hiatus. he does seem a bit sleazy having dated an 18year old and paris hilton. i'm betting he's going to choose the youngest and most vapid girl possible.
45Fromt he previews, this show looks pretty dumb. It's amazing that every single one of those gals, no matter the age, seem to fall for him or develop feelings. A bit strange that he clicks with all of them! I dunno - doesn't look to good. He's hot, but the concept is weird.
46i missed this last night..boo
47
I'm going to watch this one!
